This does the following:
1: Splits the arguments of a function call to stop it
from exceeding 80 characters
2: Re-indents the arguments of another function call
to prevent the splitting of a quoted string.

Maintain an index of directory inodes by starting cluster, so that
fat_get_parent() can return the proper cached inode rather than inventing
one that cannot be traced back to the filesystem root.
Add a new msdos/vfat binary mount option "nfs" so that FAT filesystems
that are _not_ exported via NFS are not saddled with maintenance of an
index they will never use.
Finally, simplify NFS file handle generation and lookups. An
ext2-congruent implementation is adequate for FAT needs.

Under memory pressure, the system may evict dentries from cache. When the
FAT driver receives a NFS request involving an evicted dentry, it is
unable to reconnect it to the filesystem root. This causes the request to
fail, often with ENOENT.
This is partially due to ineffectiveness of the current FAT NFS
implementation, and partially due to an unimplemented fh_to_parent method.
The latter can cause file accesses to fail on shares exported with
subtree_check.
This patch set provides the FAT driver with the ability to
reconnect dentries. NFS file handle generation and lookups are simplified
and made congruent with ext2.
Testing has involved a memory-starved virtual machine running 3.5-rc5 that
exports a ~2 GB vfat filesystem containing a kernel tree (~770 MB, ~40000
files, 9 levels). Both 'cp -r' and 'ls -lR' operations were performed
from a client, some overlapping, some consecutive. Exports with
'subtree_check' and 'no_subtree_check' have been tested.
Note that while this patch set improves FAT's NFS support, it does not
eliminate ESTALE errors completely.
The following should be considered for NFS clients who are sensitive to ESTALE:
* Mounting with lookupcache=none
Unfortunately this can degrade performance severely, particularly for deep
filesystems.
* Incorporating VFS patches to retry ESTALE failures on the client-side,
such as https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/29/381
* Handling ESTALE errors in client application code
This patch:
Move NFS-related code into its own C file. No functional changes.

Commit c3b79770e51a ("rtc: m41t80: Workaround broken alarm
functionality") disabled m41t80's alarm functions. But since those
functions were not touched, building this driver triggers these GCC
warnings:
drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.c:216:12: warning: 'm41t80_rtc_alarm_irq_enable' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.c:238:12: warning: 'm41t80_rtc_set_alarm' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.c:308:12: warning: 'm41t80_rtc_read_alarm' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
Remove these functions (and the commented out references to them) to
silence these warnings. Anyone wanting to fix the alarm irq functionality
can easily find the removed code in the git log of this file or through
some web searches.

Without this patch /sys/class/rtc/$CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE/hctosys
contains a 1 (meaning "This rtc was used to initialize the system
clock") even if setting the time by do_settimeofday() at bootup failed.
The RTC can also be used to set the clock on resume, if it did 1,
otherwise 0. Previously there was no indication if the RTC was used
to set the clock in resume.
This uses only CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE for conditional compilation
instead of it and CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS to be more consistent.
rtc_hctosys_ret was moved to class.c so class.c no longer depends on
hctosys.c.

There are several comparisons of a unsigned int to less than zero int
spear RTC driver. Such a check will always be true. In all these cases a
signed int is assigned to the unsigned variable, which is checked, before.
So the right fix is to make the checked variable signed as well. In one
case the check can be dropped completely, because all it does it returns
'err' if 'err' is less than zero, otherwise it returns 0. Since in this
particular case 'err' is always either 0 or less this is the same as just
returning 'err'.

The irq field of the jz4740_irc struct is unsigned. Yet we assign the
result of platform_get_irq() to it. platform_get_irq() may return a
negative error code and the code checks for this condition by checking if
'irq' is less than zero. But since 'irq' is unsigned this test will
always be false. Fix it by making 'irq' signed.

When calling rtc_device_unregister, we are not freeing the id used by the
driver. So when doing a unload/load cycle for a RTC driver (e.g. rmmod

consequence, we no longer have neither an rtc0 driver nor a
/proc/driver/rtc (as it only exists for the first driver).

As this return value isn't used this is actually safe but it freaks

Xen's pciback points out a couple of deficiencies with vsscanf()'s
standard conformance:
- Trailing character matching cannot be checked by the caller: With a
format string of "(%x:%x.%x) %n" absence of the closing parenthesis
cannot be checked, as input of "(00:00.0)" doesn't cause the %n to be
evaluated (because of the code not skipping white space before the
trailing %n).
- The parameter corresponding to a trailing %n could get filled even if
there was a matching error: With a format string of "(%x:%x.%x)%n",
input of "(00:00.0]" would still fill the respective variable pointed to
(and hence again make the mismatch non-detectable by the caller).
This patch aims at fixing those, but leaves other non-conforming aspects
of it untouched, among them these possibly relevant ones:
- improper handling of the assignment suppression character '*' (blindly
discarding all succeeding non-white space from the format and input
strings),
- not honoring conversion specifiers for %n, - not recognizing the C99
conversion specifier 't' (recognized by vsprintf()).

The logic in do_raw_spin_lock() attempts to acquire a spinlock by invoking
arch_spin_trylock() in a loop with a delay between each attempt. Now
consider the following situation in a 2 CPU system:
1. CPU-0 continually acquires and releases a spinlock in a
tight loop; it stays in this loop until some condition X
is satisfied. X can only be satisfied by another CPU.
2. CPU-1 tries to acquire the same spinlock, in an attempt
to satisfy the aforementioned condition X. However, it
never sees the unlocked value of the lock because the
debug spinlock code uses trylock instead of just lock;
it checks at all the wrong moments - whenever CPU-0 has
locked the lock.
Now in the absence of debug spinlocks, the architecture specific spinlock
code can correctly allow CPU-1 to wait in a "queue" (e.g., ticket
spinlocks), ensuring that it acquires the lock at some point. However,
with the debug spinlock code, livelock can easily occur due to the use of
try_lock, which obviously cannot put the CPU in that "queue". This
queueing mechanism is implemented in both x86 and ARM spinlock code.
Note that the situation mentioned above is not hypothetical. A real
problem was encountered where CPU-0 was running hrtimer_cancel with
interrupts disabled, and CPU-1 was attempting to run the hrtimer that
CPU-0 was trying to cancel.
Address this by actually attempting arch_spin_lock once it is suspected
that there is a spinlock lockup. If we're in a situation that is
described above, the arch_spin_lock should succeed; otherwise other
timeout mechanisms (e.g., watchdog) should alert the system of a lockup.
Therefore, if there is a genuine system problem and the spinlock can't be
acquired, the end result (irrespective of this change being present) is
the same. If there is a livelock caused by the debug code, this change
will allow the lock to be acquired, depending on the implementation of the
lower level arch specific spinlock code.

uses cases, I add a "free" field 'void *data' to pass any needed
information to the allocation function. For example 'data' could be used
to handle a structure where you store the alignment, the expected memory
bank, the requester device, or any information that could influence the
allocation algorithm.
An usage example may look like this:
struct my_pool_constraints {
int align;
int bank;
...
};
unsigned long my_custom_algo(unsigned long *map, unsigned long size,
unsigned long start, unsigned int nr, void *data)
{
struct my_pool_constraints *constraints = data;
...
deal with allocation contraints
...
return the index in bitmap where perform the allocation
}
void create_my_pool()
{
struct my_pool_constraints c;
struct gen_pool *pool = gen_pool_create(...);
gen_pool_add(pool, ...);
gen_pool_set_algo(pool, my_custom_algo, &c);
}
Add of best-fit algorithm function:
most of the time best-fit is slower then first-fit but memory fragmentation
is lower. The random buffer allocation/free tests don't show any arithmetic
relation between the allocation time and fragmentation but the
best-fit algorithm
is sometime able to perform the allocation when the first-fit can't.
This new algorithm help to remove static allocations on ESRAM, a small but
fast on-chip RAM of few KB, used for high-performance uses cases like DMA
linked lists, graphic accelerators, encoders/decoders. On the Ux500
(in the ARM tree) we have define 5 ESRAM banks of 128 KB each and use of
static allocations becomes unmaintainable:
cd arch/arm/mach-ux500 && grep -r ESRAM .
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:/* Base address and bank offsets for ESRAM */
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BASE 0x40000000
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE 0x00020000
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK0 U8500_ESRAM_BASE
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK1 (U8500_ESRAM_BASE + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE)
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK2 (U8500_ESRAM_BANK1 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE)
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK3 (U8500_ESRAM_BANK2 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE)
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK4 (U8500_ESRAM_BANK3 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE)
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_DMA_LCPA_OFFSET 0x10000
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_DMA_LCPA_BASE
(U8500_ESRAM_BANK0 + U8500_ESRAM_DMA_LCPA_OFFSET)
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_DMA_LCLA_BASE U8500_ESRAM_BANK4
I want to use genalloc to do dynamic allocations but I need to be able to
fine tune the allocation algorithm. I my case best-fit algorithm give
better results than first-fit, but it will not be true for every use case.

Account for all properties when a and/or b are 0:
gcd(0, 0) = 0
gcd(a, 0) = a
gcd(0, b) = b

The main option should not appear in the resulting .config when the
dependencies aren't met (i.e. use "depends on" rather than directly
setting the default from the combined dependency values).
The sub-options should depend on the main option rather than a more
generic higher level one.
