Here's the x86 BUG() implementation we discussed the other day.

I also have the rework of the header files which avoids
instantiation of strings in headers and saves 100-200k.
However that is only needed for gcc 2.X.  I assume that
by the time 2.6 is in use, gcc-3.x will be the preferred
compiler.

Tidyup init/exit for nfsd module

move nfsd_init into an initcall with other module
startup.  This means that "initialized" isn't needed for
any of the files that use it, as the bits are always initialised if
in use.

Cleanup the syscall interface to nfsd

1/ add an "owner" field to the nfsd_linkage structure
2/ grab a reference to that module before calling the syscall
3/ Remove the reference counting from inside the module
4/ Always allow nfsd module to be called, even if compile with
	CONFIG_NFSD == N
   ( but not if CONFIG_MODULES also == N)

Use MKDEV for making device number from components

This patch is thanks to GOTO Masanori <gotom@debian.or.jp>

Tidy up some vfs calls in nfsd

1/ changes to sys_fsync had not also been made to nfsd_sync.
   Now nfsd_sync calls filemap_fdatasync and filemap_fdatawait.
2/ change nfsd_readdir to use vfs_readdir instead of i_op->readdir

Get nfsd_setattr to not put too much weight on inode_change_ok

nfsd_currently calls inode_change_ok and does not try setattr if this fails.
However this is wrong.  If a filesystem defines it's own i_op->setattr, then
it might use a completely different mechanisim for determining what is ok.
nfsd shouldn't assume...

We still use inode_change_ok when normalising NFSv2 "touch" requests, but
only in passing.

Stop fat_fh_to_dentry returning NULL

the fh_to_dentry routines should never return NULL.
The caller expects an ERR_PTR or a valid (possibly negative)
dentry.  fat did the wrong thing and so could oops.

Fix bugs recently introduced into kNFSd

When searching a list.h list, we cannot export
to find NULL at the end.  Instead we return a pointer
when found, or NULL if nothing found.  Same bug, 4 times.

The seq_file improvements to /proc/fs/nfs/exports got the counting
wrong so that some clients would get reported twice, always the last.

	A bunch of places dereferences ->d_parent->d_inode with no
protection whatsoever (e.g. on return from read()).  It's an
SMP race on all boxen and pretty wide UP race if we have dnotify
set on parent (race between read() and rename() and similar beasts).

	Patch below is the first one in a series of ->d_parent-related
fixes.  It adds a helper (dnotify_parent(dentry, event)) and converts
places that did inode_dir_notify(dentry->d_parent->d_inode,...) to it.

	Please, apply.  Notice that problem exists in 2.4 and unlike 2.5
there we can't switch to saner API (basically, reporting file events on
file, not on a parent directory).

Some of the further fixes depend on Pat's and Greg's (driverfs and usbdevfs
resp.) patches, so getting them merged would make life easier.  And yes,
some of further chunks (e.g. smbfs ->revalidate() and friends) will also
have to go into 2.4 - they are independent from any threading projects ;-/

Ugh, another one.  Linus, please apply.

old_inode is locked by vfs_link().

BKL shifted into ->symlink() (+ fixes for {ramfs,shmem}_symlink())

BKL shifted into ->link(), check for S_ISDIR moved into vfs_link().

BKL shifted into ->rmdir()

BKL shifted into ->mkdir()

This patch fixes a bug in the Linux process ID allocator.  It isn't quite
SMP safe since it references "last_pid" after releasing the lock protecting
it.  This can result in two processes getting assigned the same process ID.

this is the NeoMagic floating foint removal patch
I posted previously for Linux 2.4.18-pre9-ac3.

This final patch is a simple documentation fixup patch filling
in the blanks for the extended attribute interfaces; and fixes
a typo in the same spot: "permission".

Nathan

This next incremental patch tidies up the data types passed back
from the `list' and `get' extended attribute syscalls - these now
match the design (ie. using ssize_t) rather than simply using long
or int everywhere; also now use const types in the VFS interface,
where appropriate.

Nathan

This incremental patch fixes copying out of an extended attribute
value or name list.  Previously we copied out the entire buffer
passed in from userspace, now we only copy out the size which the
underlying filesystem tells us to (ie. we will no longer include
potentialy-initialised data as well).

Nathan

This first patch fixes the copying in of extended attribute
names from userspace in the extended attribute syscalls (a
problem found when using electric fence on the user tools).
