->signal->tty is protected by ->siglock, no need to take the global tty_mutex.

Fix the locking of signal->tty.
Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current'
or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.
(NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)
Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty
access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).
It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.
(NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
invocations)

Remove the ki_retried member from struct kiocb. I think the idea was
bounced around a while back, but Arnaldo pointed out another reason that we
should dig it up when he pointed out that the last cacheline of struct
kiocb only contains 4 bytes. By removing the debugging member, we save
more than the 8 byte on 64 bit machines.

And then filp_open follows with "flag" totally ignored.
(akpm: this restores the code to Alan's original version. Andi's "Support
piping into commands in /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" (cset d025c9db) broke
it).

Twenty characters in cp936 are not correctly handled. They're all in the
U00 plane. nls_cp936 converts all U00XY to XY but this is not correct for
some characters.(e.g. U00B7 -> A1A4, U00A8 -> A1A7).
This problem is fixed by generating u2c_00 based on all c2u_xx and changing
uni2char() to give U00 plane a special handling. The "â¬"(U20AC,80 in
cp936) is also be handled properly.

This patch removes the unused NFSD_OPTIMIZE_SPACE.
Additionally, it does differently what NFSD_OPTIMIZE_SPACE was supposed to do:
Nowadays, gcc knows best when to inline code, and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
even tells gcc globally whether to optimize for size or for speed. Therefore,
this patch also removes all inline's from these files.

If you do something like:
# touch foo
# tail -f foo &
# rm foo
# <take snapshot>
# <mount snapshot>
you'll panic, because ext3/4 tries to do orphan list processing on the
readonly snapshot device, and:
kernel: journal commit I/O error
kernel: Assertion failure in journal_flush_Rsmp_e2f189ce() at journal.c:1356: "!journal->j_checkpoint_transactions"
kernel: Kernel panic: Fatal exception
for a truly readonly underlying device, it's reasonable and necessary
to just skip orphan list processing.

new (observed at least with 5.x.x) automount deamon is started, kernel
correctly reports incompatible version of kernel and userland daemon, but
then screws things up instead of correct handling of the error:
autofs: kernel does not match daemon version

Leftover inexact backtrace:
=======================
and then deadlock comes.
The problem: autofs_fill_super() returns EINVAL to get_sb_nodev(), but
before that, it calls kill_anon_super() to destroy the superblock which
won't be needed. This is however way too soon to call kill_anon_super(),
because get_sb_nodev() has to perform its own cleanup of the superblock
first (deactivate_super(), etc.). The correct time to call
kill_anon_super() is in the autofs_kill_sb() callback, which is called by
deactivate_super() at proper time, when the superblock is ready to be
killed.
I can see the same faulty codepath also in autofs4. This patch solves
issues in both filesystems in a same way - it postpones the
kill_anon_super() until the proper time is signalized by deactivate_super()
calling the kill_sb() callback.

In the current jbd code, if a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is dirty and not
locked, the buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list, submitted to the IO and
waited for IO completion.
But the fsstress test showed the case that when a buffer was already
submitted to the IO just before the buffer_dirty(bh) check, the buffer was
not waited for IO completion.
Following patch solves this problem. If it is assumed that a buffer is
submitted to the IO before the buffer_dirty(bh) check and still being
written to disk, this buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list.

We add a save link for O_DIRECT writes to protect the i_size against the
crashes before we actually finish the I/O. If we hit an -ENOSPC in
aops->prepare_write(), we would do a truncate() to release the blocks which
might have got initialized. Now the truncate would add another save link
for the same inode causing a reiserfs panic for having multiple save links
for the same inode.

Such dentries dont need to wait for a RCU grace period at delete time.
Being able to free them permits a better CPU cache use (hot cache)

We currently insert pipe dentries into the global dentry hashtable. This
is suboptimal because there is currently no way these entries can be used
for a lookup(). (/proc/xxx/fd/xxx uses a different mechanism). Inserting
them in dentry hashtable slows dcache lookups.
To let __dpath() still work correctly (ie not adding a " (deleted)") after
dentry name, we do :
- Right after d_alloc(), pretend they are hashed by clearing the
DCACHE_UNHASHED bit.
- Call d_instantiate() instead of d_add() : dentry is not inserted in
hash table.
__dpath() & friends work as intended during dentry lifetime.
- At dismantle time, once dput() must clear the dentry, setting again
DCACHE_UNHASHED bit inside the custom d_delete() function provided by
pipe code, so that dput() can just kill_it.
This patch, combined with (avoid RCU for never hashed dentries) reduced
time of { pipe(p); close(p[0]); close(p[1]);} on my UP machine (1.6GHz
Pentium-M) from 3.23 us to 2.86 us (But this patch does not depend on other
patches, only bench results)
