The "Exclude staging drivers" question is there so that we don't build
staging drivers for allyesconfig or allnoconfig settings, but it's very
irritating when you've already said "no" to staging drivers earlier.

There is absolutely no point in declining twice - once you've declined
the staging drivers, you're done.

So make the second question depend on the first question having been
answered in the affirmative.

Commit 8d7c4203 "nfsd: fix failure to set eof in readdir in some
situations" introduced a bug: on a directory in an exported ext3
filesystem with dir_index unset, a READDIR will only return about 250
entries, even if the directory was larger.

Bisected it back to this commit; reverting it fixes the problem.

It turns out that in this case ext3 reads a block at a time, then
returns from readdir, which means we can end up with buf.full==0 but
with more entries in the directory still to be read.  Before 8d7c4203
(but after c002a6c7 "Optimise NFS readdir hack slightly"), this would
cause us to return the READDIR result immediately, but with the eof bit
unset.  That could cause a performance regression (because the client
would need more roundtrips to the server to read the whole directory),
but no loss in correctness, since the cleared eof bit caused the client
to send another readdir.  After 8d7c4203, the setting of the eof bit
made this a correctness problem.

So, move nfserr_eof into the loop and remove the buf.full check so that
we loop until buf.used==0.  The following seems to do the right thing
and reduces the network traffic since we don't return a READDIR result
until the buffer is full.

Tested on an empty directory & large directory; eof is properly sent and
there are no more short buffers.

Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't
change during the GC.  This is only half true, nothing can be received
from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added
through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file
descriptors referring to it.

This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the
"inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't
previously called.  This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs <
inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run.

Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which
are candidates themselves.  Duplicating the file references in
unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a
candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU
architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user
mode preemption is disabled already.  It is nevertheless a good idea to
better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit
memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter
value in the wrong order.  On UP a simple compiler barrier is
sufficient.

Fix the __pfn_to_page(pfn) macro so that it doesn't evaluate its
argument twice in the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y case, because 'pfn' may
be a result of a funtion call having side effects.

For example, the hibernation code applies pfn_to_page(pfn) to the
result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set
bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each
call.  This leads to "interesting" failures for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
due to the current behavior of __pfn_to_page(pfn).

in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for

 9761990 total                                      2.8468

this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.

But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().

This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.

When initializing an uninitialized block group in ext4_new_inode(),
its block group checksum must be re-calculated.  This fixes a race
when several threads try to allocate a new inode in an UNINIT'd group.

bitmap in ext4_new_inode() at all, but for now, if we are going to

Xen requires that all mappings of pagetable pages are read-only, so
that they can't be updated illegally.  As a result, if a page is being
turned into a pagetable page, we need to make sure all its mappings
are RO.

If the page had been used for ioremap or vmalloc, it may still have
left over mappings as a result of not having been lazily unmapped.
This change makes sure we explicitly mop them all up before pinning
the page.

Unlike aliases created by kmap, the there can be vmalloc aliases even
for non-high pages, so we must do the flush unconditionally.
