Jeff Moyer pointed out that a mount; umount loop of ecryptfs, with the same
cipher & other mount options, created a new ecryptfs_key_tfm_cache item
each time, and the cache could grow quite large this way.
Looking at this with mhalcrow, we saw that ecryptfs_parse_options()
unconditionally called ecryptfs_add_new_key_tfm(), which is what was adding
these items.
Refactor ecryptfs_get_tfm_and_mutex_for_cipher_name() to create a new
helper function, ecryptfs_tfm_exists(), which checks for the cipher on the
cached key_tfm_list, and sets a pointer to it if it exists. This can then
be called from ecryptfs_parse_options(), and new key_tfm's can be added
only when a cached one is not found.
With list locking changes suggested by akpm.

ecryptfs_debug really should not be a mount option; it is not per-mount,
but rather sets a global "ecryptfs_verbosity" variable which affects all
mounted filesysytems. It's already settable as a module load option,
I think we can leave it at that.
Also, if set, since secret values come out in debug messages, kick
things off with a stern warning.

Change ecryptfs_show_options to reflect the actual mount options in use.
Note that this does away with the "dir=" output, which is not a valid mount
option and appears to be unused.
Mount options such as "ecryptfs_verbose" and "ecryptfs_xattr_metadata" are
somewhat indeterminate for a given fs, but in any case the reported mount
options can be used in a new mount command to get the same behavior.

The two S3C SPI master drivers got merged without much review, so I just
noticed that they're doing something that the SPI core code is responsible
for, rather than any adapter driver: they try to register SPI devices.
This removes that support from those drivers so they act normally.
Interestingly, none of the current boards are affected. So it's a net code

In atmel_spi_next_xfer, xfer can be NULL because the next transfer may
already have been submitted to the PDC (using DMA chaining). This can
cause an oops, since the debug message assumed it was never null. The
fix changes how those debug messages are issued, ensuring that one is
issued each time a transfer is started instead of once per call.
Also, properly indent the "can this transfer be chained" test so it's
not hidden as if it were non-conditional code.

Add support for chained transfers in the atmel_spi driver, letting the DMA
controller switch to the next buffer pair without CPU intervention. This
reduced I/O latencies by about 2% in one bulk I/O test. It should also help
work around several interrelated errata affecting chipselect 0 on at91rm9200
chips.
Almost all of the changes are in the reworked atmel_spi_next_xfer() function.
That's now called with the driver in one of three states:
1. It isn't transferring anything (in which case the first transfer
of the current message is going to be sent)
2. It has finished transfering a non-chainable transfer (in which
case it will go to the next transfer in the message)
3. It has finished transfering a chained transfer (in which case the
next transfer is already queued)
After that it will queue the next transfer if it can be chained.

Removing the between-word delays improves the performance of bulk transfers
(such as mtd_dataflash, m25p80, mmc_spi) significantly. In one test, the
improvement was a factor of more than eight!

Driver core: convert block from raw kobjects to core devices
This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a
flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one
directory. For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks
to the disks.
introduced a global disk_type variable in <linux/genhd.h>, causing the
following compile error on Atari:
drivers/block/ataflop.c:93: error: conflicting types for 'disk_type'
include/linux/genhd.h:21: error: previous declaration of 'disk_type' was here
Rename the local disk_type variable in drivers/block/ataflop.c to
atari_disk_type, to avoid the conflict.

The kernel has a divide by zero crash when trying to run the system timer

x*(USER_HZ/HZ) will be used if HZ<USER_HZ.
I'm running the Linux kernel under qemu and went to run a slower system
timer to take less CPU (and battery) on the host. I found that the kernel
paniced under emulation because of a divide by zero in three places. Here
is the patch. The base git was updated today 01-05-2008. I went for a
20Hz system time by adding config HZ_20 etc to kernel/Kconfig.hz. With
this patch I verified the system timer by looking at /proc/interrupts.

Fix two N_TTY line discipline issues related to resuming a stopped TTY
(typically done with ctrl-S):
1) Fix handling of character that resumes a stopped TTY (with IXANY)
With "stty ixany", the TTY line discipline would lose the first character
after the stop, so typing, for example, "hi^Sthere" resulted in "hihere"
(the 't' would cause the resume after ^S, but it would then be thrown away
rather than processed as an input character). This was inconsistent with
the behavior of other Unix systems.
2) Fix interrupt signal (e.g. ctrl-C) behavior in stopped TTYs
With "stty -ixany" (often the default), interrupt signals were ignored
in a stopped TTY until the TTY was resumed with the start char (typically
ctrl-Q), which was inconsistent with the behavior of other Unix systems.

groups_sort() can be quite long if user loads a large gid table.
This is because GROUP_AT(group_info, some_integer) uses an integer divide.
So having to do XXX thousand divides during one syscall can lead to very
high latencies. (NGROUPS_MAX=65536)
In the past (25 Mar 2006), an analog problem was found in groups_search()
(commit d74beb9f33 ) and at that time I
changed some variables to unsigned int.
I believe that a more generic fix is to make sure NGROUPS_PER_BLOCK is
