Allow NBD I/O to be cancelled when a network outage occurs. Previously, I/O
would just hang, and if enough I/O was hung in nbd, the system (at least
user-level) would completely hang until a TCP timeout (default, 15 minutes)
occurred.
The patch introduces a new ioctl NBD_SET_TIMEOUT that allows a transmit
timeout value (in seconds) to be specified. Any network send that exceeds the
timeout will be cancelled and the nbd connection will be shut down. I've
tested with various timeout values and 6 seconds seems to be a good choice for
the timeout. If the NBD_SET_TIMEOUT ioctl is not called, you get the old (I/O
hang) behavior.

This fixes errors with utilities (such as LVM's vgscan) that try to scan all
devices. Previously this would generate read errors when uninitialized nbd
devices were scanned:
# vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...

This patch set frees the restriction that makedumpfile users should install a
vmlinux file (including the debugging information) into each system.
makedumpfile command is the dump filtering feature for kdump. It creates a
small dumpfile by filtering unnecessary pages for the analysis. To
distinguish unnecessary pages, it needs a vmlinux file including the debugging
information. These days, the debugging package becomes a huge file, and it is
hard to install it into each system.
To solve the problem, kdump developers discussed it at lkml and kexec-ml. As
the result, we reached the conclusion that necessary information for dump
filtering (called "vmcoreinfo") should be embedded into the first kernel file
and it should be accessed through /proc/vmcore during the second kernel.

rcu_assign_pointer() provides a necessary barrier, and if another process
reads the new ->sighand it should either take tasklist_lock or it should use

Fix f_version type: should be u64 instead of long
There is a type inconsistency between struct inode i_version and struct file
f_version.
fs.h:
struct inode
u64 i_version;
and
struct file
unsigned long f_version;
Users do:
fs/ext3/dir.c:
if (filp->f_version != inode->i_version) {
So why isn't f_version a u64 ? It becomes a problem if versions gets
higher than 2^32 and we are on an architecture where longs are 32 bits.
This patch changes the f_version type to u64, and updates the users accordingly.

Lomesh reported poll returning EINTR during suspend/resume cycle. This is
caused by the STOP/CONT cycle that the freezer uses, generating a pending
signal for what in effect is an ignored signal. In general poll is a
little eager in returning EINTR, when it could try not bother userspace and
simply restart the syscall. Both select and ppoll do use ERESTARTNOHAND to
restart the syscall. Oleg points out that simply using ERESTARTNOHAND will
cause poll to restart with original timeout value. which could ultimately
lead to process never returning to userspace. Instead use
ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK, and restart poll with updated timeout value.
Inspired by Manfred's use ERESTARTNOHAND in poll patch.

permission() checks that MAY_EXEC is only allowed on regular files if at least
one execute bit is set in the file mode.
generic_permission() already ensures this, so the extra check in permission()
is superfluous.
If the filesystem defines it's own ->permission() the check may still be
needed. In this case move it after ->permission(). This is needed because
filesystems such as FUSE may need to refresh the inode attributes before
checking permissions.
This check should be moved inside ->permission(), but that's another story.

We can just use skb_mac_header now, and we don't need a wrapper function to
perform the cast. Instead of requiring the reader to check aoe.h to look
up what an aoe_hdr function does, I'd rather do without it.

When a new block bitmap is read from disk in read_block_bitmap() there are
a few bits that should ALWAYS be set. In particular, the blocks given by
ext4_blk_bitmap, ext4_inode_bitmap and ext4_inode_table. Validate the
block bitmap against these blocks.

This adds the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS option to /proc/pid/coredump_filter.
This dumps the first page (only) of a private file mapping if it appears to
be a mapping of an ELF file. Including these pages in the core dump may
give sufficient identifying information to associate the original DSO and
executable file images and their debugging information with a core file in
a generic way just from its contents (e.g. when those binaries were built
with ld --build-id). I expect this to become the default behavior
eventually. Existing versions of gdb can be confused by the core dumps it
creates, so it won't enabled by default for some time to come. Soon many
people will have systems with a gdb that handle these dumps, so they can
arrange to set the bit at boot and have it inherited system-wide.
This also cleans up the checking of the MMF_DUMP_* flag bits, which did not
need to be using atomic macros.

The child was found on ->children list under tasklist_lock, it must have a
valid ->signal. __exit_signal() both removes the task from parent->children
and clears ->signal "atomically" under write_lock(tasklist).
Remove unneeded checks.

Cleanup. __group_complete_signal() wakes up ->group_exit_task twice. The
second wakeup's state includes TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, which is not very
appropriate.
Change the code to pass the "correct" argument to signal_wake_up() and kill
now unneeded wake_up_process().

The "p->exit_signal == -1 && p->ptrace == 0" check and the comment are
bogus. We already did exactly the same check in eligible_child(), we did
not drop tasklist_lock since then, and both variables need
write_lock(tasklist) to be changed.
