new helper: dir_relax(inode). Call when you are in location that will
_not_ be invalidated by directory modifications (block boundary, in case
of ext*). Returns whether the directory has survived (dropping i_mutex
allows rmdir to kill the sucker; if it returns false to us, ->iterate()
is obviously done)

New method - ->iterate(file, ctx). That's the replacement for ->readdir();
it takes callback from ctx->actor, uses ctx->pos instead of file->f_pos and
calls dir_emit(ctx, ...) instead of filldir(data, ...). It does *not*
update file->f_pos (or look at it, for that matter); iterate_dir() does the
update.
Note that dir_emit() takes the offset from ctx->pos (and eventually
filldir_t will lose that argument).

iterate_dir(): new helper, replacing vfs_readdir().
struct dir_context: contains the readdir callback (and will get more stuff
in it), embedded into whatever data that callback wants to deal with;
eventually, we'll be passing it to ->readdir() replacement instead of
(data,filldir) pair.

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no
mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are
in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'.
This means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while 'ubifs_readdir()' uses
it, and this is a very bad bug: not only 'ubifs_readdir()' can return garbage,
but this may corrupt memory and lead to all kinds of problems like crashes an
security holes.
This patch fixes the problem by using the 'file->f_version' field, which
'->llseek()' always unconditionally sets to zero. We set it to 1 in
'ubifs_readdir()' and whenever we detect that it became 0, we know there was a
seek and it is time to clear the state saved in 'file->private_data'.
I tested this patch by writing a user-space program which runds readdir and
seek in parallell. I could easily crash the kernel without these patches, but
could not crash it with these patches.

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no
mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are
in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'.
First of all, this means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while
'ubifs_readdir()' uses it. But this particular patch does not fix the problem.
This patch is only a preparation, and the fix will follow next.
In this patch we make 'ubifs_readdir()' stop using 'file->f_pos' directly,
because 'file->f_pos' can be changed by '->llseek()' at any point. This may
lead 'ubifs_readdir()' to returning inconsistent data: directory entry names
may correspond to incorrect file positions.
So here we introduce a local variable 'pos', read 'file->f_pose' once at very
the beginning, and then stick to 'pos'. The result of this is that when
'ubifs_dir_llseek()' changes 'file->f_pos' while we are in the middle of
'ubifs_readdir()', the latter "wins".

This fixes the problem that "init=" options may not be passed to kernel
correctly.
parse_mem_cmdline() of mn10300 arch gets rid of "mem=" string from
redboot_command_line. Then init_setup() parses the "init=" options from
static_command_line, which is a copy of redboot_command_line, and keeps
the pointer to the init options in execute_command variable.
Since the commit 026cee0 upstream (params: <level>_initcall-like kernel
parameters), static_command_line becomes overwritten by saved_command_line at
do_initcall_level(). Notice that saved_command_line is a command line
which includes "mem=" string.
As a result, execute_command may point to weird string by the length of
"mem=" parameter.
I noticed this problem when using the command line like this:
mem=128M console=ttyS0,115200 init=/bin/sh
Here is the processing flow of command line parameters.
start_kernel()
setup_arch(&command_line)
parse_mem_cmdline(cmdline_p)
* strcpy(boot_command_line, redboot_command_line);
* Remove "mem=xxx" from redboot_command_line.
* *cmdline_p = redboot_command_line;
setup_command_line(command_line) <-- command_line is redboot_command_line
* strcpy(saved_command_line, boot_command_line)
* strcpy(static_command_line, command_line)
parse_early_param()
strlcpy(tmp_cmdline, boot_command_line, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
parse_early_options(tmp_cmdline);
parse_args("early options", cmdline, NULL, 0, 0, 0, do_early_param);
parse_args("Booting ..", static_command_line, ...);
init_setup() <-- save the pointer in execute_command
rest_init()
kernel_thread(kernel_init, NULL, CLONE_FS | CLONE_SIGHAND);
At this point, execute_command points to "/bin/sh" string.
kernel_init()
kernel_init_freeable()
do_basic_setup()
do_initcalls()
do_initcall_level()
(*) strcpy(static_command_line, saved_command_line);
Here, execute_command gets to point to "200" string !!

Commit 02725e7471 ('genirq: Use irq_get/put functions'),
inadvertently changed can_request_irq() to return 0 for IRQs that have
no action. This causes pcibios_lookup_irq() to select only IRQs that
already have an action with IRQF_SHARED set, or to fail if there are
none. Change can_request_irq() to return 1 for IRQs that have no
action (if the first two conditions are met).
