      [PATCH] ext2 directory handling · aa4f3f28
      Andrew Morton authored
      Convert ext2 directory handling to not rely on the contents of pages
      outside i_size.
      
      This is because block_write_full_page (which is used for all writeback)
      zaps the page outside i_size.

      	OK, here comes.  Patch below is an attempt to do the fastwalk
      stuff in right way and so far it seems to be working.
      
       - dentry leak is plugged
       - locked/unlocked state of nameidata doesn't depend on history - it
         depends only on point in code.
       - LOOKUP_LOCKED is gone.
       - following mounts and .. doesn't drop dcache_lock
       - light-weight permission check distinguishes between "don't know" and
         "permission denied", so we don't call full-blown permission() unless
         we have to.
       - code that changes root/pwd holds dcache_lock _and_ write lock on
         current->fs->lock.  I.e. if we hold dcache_lock we can safely
         access our ->fs->{root,pwd}{,mnt}
       - __d_lookup() does not increment refcount; callers do dget_locked()
         if they need it (behaviour of d_lookup() didn't change, obviously).
       - link_path_walk() logics had been (somewhat) cleaned up.

      [PATCH] 2.5.10 IDE 45 · 7ca32047
      Martin Dalecki authored
      - Fix bogus set_multimode() change. I tough I had reverted it before diff-ing.
         This was causing hangs of /dev/hdparm -m8 /dev/hda and similar commands.
