In current code, we are re-reading cic->key after dead cic->key check.
So, in theory, it may really re-read *after* cfq_exit_queue() seted NULL.
To avoid race, we copy it to stack, then use it. With this change, I
guess gcc will assign cic->key to a register or stack, and it wouldn't
be re-readed.

When allocating memory to sort directory entries, use vmalloc()
rather than kmalloc() since for larger directories, the required
size can easily be graeter than the 128k maximum of kmalloc().
Also adding the first steps towards getting the AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE
return code get in the glock code by flagging all places where we
request a glock and we are holding a page lock.

We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into
nap mode. When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus
started hanging when we put them into nap mode. Changing to the
recommended sequence fixes that.
The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that
keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode. Clearly we need some way
to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt,
decrementer, performance monitor) occurs. Here we use a bit in
the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception
entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return
to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop.
We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can
alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence.
The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing
there too.
This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on
32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to
get trashed.

I found that all of 2.4 and 2.6 have been letting mprotect give write
permission to a readonly attachment of shared memory, whether or not IPC
would give the caller that permission.
SUS says "The behaviour of this function [mprotect] is unspecified if the
mapping was not established by a call to mmap", but I don't think we can
interpret that as allowing it to subvert IPC permissions.
I haven't tried 2.2, but the 2.2.26 source looks like it gets it right; and
the patch below reproduces that behaviour - mprotect cannot be used to add
write permission to a shared memory segment attached readonly.
This patch is simple, and I'm sure it's what we should have done in 2.4.0:
if you want to go on to switch write permission on and off with mprotect,
just don't attach the segment readonly in the first place.
However, we could have accumulated apps which attach readonly (even though
they would be permitted to attach read/write), and which subsequently use
mprotect to switch write permission on and off: it's not unreasonable.
I was going to add a second ipcperms check in do_shmat, to check for
writable when readonly, and if not writable find_vma and clear VM_MAYWRITE.
But security_ipc_permission might do auditing, and it seems wrong to
report an attempt for write permission when there has been none. Or we
could flag the vma as SHM, note the shmid or shp in vm_private_data, and
then get mprotect to check.
But the patch below is a lot simpler: I'd rather stick with it, if we can
convince ourselves somehow that it'll be safe.

mtdblock is the only user of aggregate capabilities in mtd. This is clearly
bogus and should be changed. In particular, it tries to determine whether
the device in question is a piece of RAM. For every single driver that fits

MTD_RAM.

For a while now, we've postponed CRC-checking of data nodes to be done
by the GC thread, instead of being done while the user is waiting for
mount to finish. The GC thread would iterate through all the inodes on
the system and check each of their data nodes. It would skip over inodes
which had already been used or were already being read in by
read_inode(), because their data nodes would have been examined anyway.
However, we could sometimes reach the end of the for-each-inode loop and
still have some unchecked space left, if an inode we'd skipped was
_still_ in the process of being read. This fixes that race by actually
waiting for read_inode() to finish rather than just moving on.
Thanks to Ladislav Michl for coming up with a reproducible test case and
helping to track it down.
