      [PATCH] net/wanrouter/wan{proc,main}.c crapectomy · 61e828ba
      Alexander Viro authored
      	Patch below does the following:
      
      *	removes dead code from wanproc.c.   When file looks like
      #ifdef LINUX_2_4
      <800 lines>
      #else
      <900 lines>
      #endif
      	there's no excuse for keeping all that junk around.
      *	switches wanproc.c to use of seq_file
      *	removes dead code from wanmain.c (again, dead == never seen by cc1).
      *	fixes indentation in both
      *	removes buttloads of trailing spaces in these files, while we are
      	at it.
      
      See if it's OK with you...

      [PATCH] (3/3) fs/super.c cleanups · a99dcd86
      Alexander Viro authored
      Preparation to adding new method:
       new helper - shutdown_super().  It is cut from kill_super() and
       it had absorbed all actions done with superblock contents -
       now kill_super(s) is simply
      
      	struct file_system_type *fs = s->s_type;
      	if (!deactivate_super(s))
      		return;
      		shutdown_super(s);
      	put_filesystem(fs);
      
       and shutdown_super() is going to become a method.

      [PATCH] (2/3) fs/super.c cleanups · 859041ac
      Alexander Viro authored
      Now remove_super() is called only from kill_super().  We move
      the code that closes device/drops reference to filesystem type
      from remove_super() into its caller.

      [PATCH] (1/3) fs/super.c cleanups · ad9e3359
      Alexander Viro authored
      * missing yield() added to grab_super() (on failure exit).  Without
        that we have a nasty race - if get_sb_bdev() happens just before
        we grab ->s_umount in kill_super(), we are going to have
        get_sb_bdev() spinning indefinitely long without yielding CPU,
        so that kill_super() could make progress (and break the loop).
      
      * in kill_super() code that does actual superblock shutdown is
        wrapped in if (sb->s_root) {}.  That condition is true for
        all old callers of kill_super(), so we don't change existing
        behaviour.
      
      * instances of deactivate_super()/remove_super() (after failed
        call of foo_fill_super()) are replaced with
      	up_write(&s->s_umount);
      	kill_super(s);
        - now it becomes legitimate (kill_super() works on such guys and
        does exactly what we want).

      - new, less intrusive and faster migration method:
      
      /*
       * This is how migration works:
       *
       * 1) we queue a migration_req_t structure in the source CPU's
       *    runqueue and wake up that CPU's migration thread.
       * 2) we down() the locked semaphore => thread blocks.
       * 3) migration thread wakes up (implicitly it forces the migrated
       *    thread off the CPU)
       * 4) it gets the migration request and checks whether the migrated
       *    task is still in the wrong runqueue.
       * 5) if it's in the wrong runqueue then the migration thread removes
       *    it and puts it into the right queue.
       * 6) migration thread up()s the semaphore.
       * 7) we wake up and the migration is done.
