Now we always care about one part of nameidata --- ->depth.  And we need
to make sure it's always initialized.

generic_readlink() was missing that part.

jffs2 switched; leaks plugged.

befs switched; leaks plugged.

shm switched (it almost belongs to SL3, but it does some extra stuff
after the link traversal).

xfs switched to new scheme; leaks plugged.

smbfs - switched from on-stack allocation of buffer for link body (!) to
__getname()/putname(); switched to new scheme.

cases that can simply reuse ext2 helpers (page_follow_link_light() and
page_put_link()).

trivial cases - ones where we have no need to clean up after pathname
traversal (link body embedded into inode, etc.).

Plugged leak in devfs_follow_link(), while we are at it.

        ext2 conversion (helper functions for that one will be actually
used a lot by other filesystems, so to fs/namei.c they go)

This patch-kit gets past the limit on nested symlinks, without
incompatible API changes _and_ with killing code duplication in most of
the readlink/follow_link pairs.  And no, it's not the old ->getlink()
crap - procfs et.al.  are not special-cased there. 

Here's how it works:
 * ->follow_link() still does what it used to do - replaces
   vfsmount/dentry in the nameidata it got from caller.  However, it can
   also leave a pathname to be resolved by caller. 
 * we add an array of char * into nameidata; we always work with
   nd->saved_names[current->link_count].  nd_set_link() sets it,
   nd_get_link() returns it.
 * callers of ->follow_link() (all two of them) check if ->follow_link()
   had left us something to do.  If it had (return value was zero and
   nd_get_link() is non-NULL), they do __vfs_follow_link() on that name.
   Then they call a new method (->put_link()) that frees whatever has to
   be freed, etc. 

Note that absolute majority of symlinks have "resolve a pathname" as
part of their ->follow_link(); they can do something else and some don't
do that at all, but having that pathname resolution is very, very
common. 

With that change we allow them to shift pathname resolution part to
caller.  They don't have to - it's perfectly OK to do all work in
->follow_link().  However, leaving the pathname resolution to caller
will
   a) exclude foo_follow_link() stack frame from the picture
   b) kill 2 stack frames - all callers are in fs/namei.c
and they can use inlined variant of vfs_follow_link().

That reduction of stack use is enough to push the limit on nested
symlinks from 5 to 8 (actually, even beyond that, but since 8 is common
for other Unices it will do fine). 

For those who have "pure" ->follow_link() (i.e.  "find a string that
would be symlink contents and say nd_set_link(nd, string)") we also get
a common helper implementing ->readlink() - it just calls
->follow_link() on a dummy nameidata, calls vfs_readlink() on result of
nd_get_link() and does ->put_link().  Using (or not using) it is up to
filesystem; it's a helper that can be used as a ->readlink() for many
filesystems, not a reimplementation of sys_readlink().  However, that's
_MANY_ filesystems - practically all of them. 

Note that we don't put any crap like "if this is a normal symlink, do
this; otherwise call ->follow_link() and let it do its magic" into
callers - all symlinks are handled the same way.  Which was the main
problem with getlink proposal back then. 

That covers almost everything; the only cases left are nfs, ncpfs and
cifs.  Those will go later - we are backwards compatible, so it's not a
problem. 

First patch: infrastructure - helpers allowing ->follow_link() to leave
a pathname to be traversed by caller + corresponding code in callers.

From: Jonas Thornblad <jonas@thornblad.net>

There is a problem in the hpt366.c driver where the function
ide_config_drive_speed(drive, speed) is called without using the correct
speed variable.  The speed variable should use the value returned by
hpt3xx_ratefilter which decides the speed after checking against the bad
drives list.

I believe the following patch fixes the problem.

Slightly reworked by me - Bart.

   from 0x4a4 bytes to 0x64 bytes (x86-32).
 - Little whitespace cleanup.

- update rq counters directly in task_buffer_sectors()
- use task_buffer[_multi]_sectors() in taskfile PIO
  handlers (CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO=n and flagged ones) so:
  (a) rq->hard_cur_sectors is used for rq mapping
  (b) in case of error valid rq->sector is reported
  (c) we can s/rq->current_nr_sectors/rq->nr_sectors/ later
- uninline task_buffer_sectors()
- remove not needed !rq->bio code from ide_[un]map_buffer()
  (it is used only for fs requests which are always bio based)
- remove no longer needed task_rq_offset()

Low-level drivers' ->ioctl() gets a userland pointer from scsi_ioctl();
prototype annotated, so is scsi_debug instance.

Fixes for direct dereferencing of userland pointers in i2o_config.c

isdn_writebuf_stub() was always called for userland pointers.

Killed the argument telling whether it's kernel or userland pointer,
killed dead code, updated callers.

 - trivial annotation in several places in drivers/mtd
 - a bunch of debugging printks switched from %x to %llx (they get 64bit
   values)
 - in doc200[01].c fixed type of (unused) last argument in their
   doc_read_ecc().

DVD_LU_SEND_{AGID,TITLE_KEY} can be legitimately rejected; in that case
we should not spew into logs.

Updating my source to 2.6.7 I see that you applied some
nonsense garbage patch. Please undo.

[ Note by Linus: the fact that DOS_EXTENDED_PARTITION is 5, and we're
  iterating over slots 1-4 in the partition table, are two totally
  unrelated things. Using the symbolic constant does indeed not make
  any sense at all here, as Andries so eloquently points out. ]

The exception rewrite contains a small bug that prevents bring up of CPUs
on logically partitioned machines.

The kernel is trying to zero the backlink on the new stack while running
with relocation disabled, which potentially cause it to try to access an
address outside of the region allowed in real mode.  This seem to be a
leftover from previous code as we also zero the backlink later after
turning off the MMU. 

This patch removes the offending bit.

The whitespace in arch/ppc64/kernel/head.S is a bit all over the place. 
This patch fixes it up.  This patch changes nothing other than
whitespace.
