The "offset" in an entry in an nfs3 readdir response is 64 bits long and as it has only a 32 bit alignment, it fall half in one page of the response and half in another. This patch adds a second offset pointer (offset1) which points to the second half in the unusual case of the offset being split between pages, and sets and uses it accordingly.

A problem with htree was recently discovered during Lustre testing when files were being renamed within the same directory. In some cases the addition of the new name caused a directory block split and the old dir_entry was pointing at the wrong entry, and the wrong entry was removed. This would seem entirely possible in a Maildir directory, since the MTA will be doing a lot of renames within the same directory. If old_de is pointing to the newly-added entry (i_ino is the same) we end up deleting the new entry instead of the old one. It looks as if the rename never happened. We need to verify that the name we are unlinking is what we expect. If is also possible that old_de is pointing to the now-unused space at the end of a newly-split leaf block, so we still need to try ext3_delete_entry() (which will skip the stale entry and return ENOENT) instead of just relying on the inum + name check.

I've seen no warnings, nor heard any reports of warnings, that anon_vma ever misses ptes (nor anonmm before it). That WARN_ON (with its useless stack dump) was okay to goad developers into making reports, but would mainly be an irritation if it ever appears on user systems: kill it now.

Andrea Arcangeli's fix to an ironic weakness with get_user_pages. try_to_unmap_one must check page_count against page->mapcount before unmapping a swapcache page: because the raised pagecount by which get_user_pages ensures the page cannot be freed, will cause any write fault to see that page as not exclusively owned, and therefore a copy page will be substituted for it - the reverse of what's intended. rmap.c was entirely free of such page_count heuristics before, I tried hard to avoid putting this in. But Andrea's fix rarely gives a false positive; and although it might be nicer to change exclusive_swap_page etc. to rely on page->mapcount instead, it seems likely that we'll want to get rid of page->mapcount later, so better not to entrench its use.

For those arches (arm and parisc) which use the i_mmap tree to implement flush_dcache_page, during split_vma there's a small window in vma_adjust when flush_dcache_mmap_lock is dropped, and pages in the split-off part of the vma might for an instant be invisible to __flush_dcache_page. Though we're more solid there than ever before, I guess it's a bad idea to leave that window: so (with regret, it was structurally nicer before) take __vma_link_file (and vma_prio_tree_init) out of __vma_link. vma_prio_tree_init (which NULLs a few fields) is actually only needed when copying a vma, not when a new one has just been memset to 0. __insert_vm_struct is used by nothing but vma_adjust's split_vma case: comment it accordingly, remove its mark_mm_hugetlb (it can never create a new kind of vma) and its validate_mm (another follows immediately).

Fix vma_adjust adjust_next wrapping: Rajesh V. pointed out that if end were 2GB or more beyond next->vm_start (on 32-bit), then next->vm_pgoff would have been negatively adjusted.

The follow_page write-access case is relying on pte_page before checking pfn_valid: rearrange that - and we don't need three struct page *pages. (I notice mempolicy.c's verify_pages is also relying on pte_page, but I'll leave that to Andi: maybe it ought to be failing on, or skipping over, VM_IO or VM_RESERVED vmas?)

Patch from Catalin Marinas arch/arm/mm/mmap.c: arch_get_unamapped_area() checks bit 9 in the cache type register for possible cache aliasing problems. Bit 11 should be checked instead.

The rest of ->ifr_data cleanups. A bunch of drivers use address of ifr->ifr_ifru, but spell that as &ifr->ifr_data, which expands to &ifr->ifr_ifru.ifru_data. ifr_ifru is a union and in effect they sneak in a private field into that union; ifr_ifru.ifru_data is a field in that union and it has nothing to do with the things they want to do. Cleaned up by explicit use of &ifr->ifr_ifru. Several places where we really use ->ifr_data (i.e. use its value and use it as __user pointer) annotated.

From: Jeff Garzik Jeff's patch adds a helper for obtaining mii_ioctl_data from ifreq and switches drivers to it. It's almost a "move common expression into inline helper", except that instead of (struct mii_ioctl_data *)&rq->ifr_ifru.ifru_data it does (struct mii_ioctl_data *)&rq->ifr_ifru - pointer to union instead of pointer to a field of union that has nothing to do with mii_ioctl_data *and* adds confusion by being a pointer itself.

several pointers in ioctl structures marked as userland ones. And that's it with this patchset. A couple more of those and we'll be done with the noise warnings ;-)
