Actually, nilfs is NOT a filesystem came from other operating systems,
but a filesystem created purely for Linux. Nor is it a flash
filesystem but that for generic block devices.
So, this moves nilfs outside the misc category as I responded in LKML

nilfs2: allow btree code to directly call dat operations
The current btree code is written so that btree functions call dat
operations via wrapper functions in bmap.c when they allocate, free,
or modify virtual block addresses.
This abstraction requires additional function calls and causes
frequent call of nilfs_bmap_get_dat() function since it is used in the
every wrapper function.
This removes the wrapper functions and makes them available from
btree.c and direct.c, which will increase the opportunity of
compiler optimization.

nilfs2: remove individual gfp constants for each metadata file
This gets rid of NILFS_CPFILE_GFP, NILFS_SUFILE_GFP, NILFS_DAT_GFP,

and can be removed.
nilfs2: shorten freeze period due to GC in write operation v3
This is a re-revised patch to shorten freeze period.
This version include a fix of the bug Konishi-san mentioned last time.
When GC is runnning, GC moves live block to difference segments.
Copying live blocks into memory is done in a transaction,
however it is not necessarily to be in the transaction.
This patch will get the nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() out from
transaction lock and put it before the transaction.
I ran sysbench fileio test against nilfs partition.
I copied some DVD/CD images and created snapshot to create live blocks
before starting the benchmark.
Followings are summary of rc8 and rc8 w/ the patch of per-request
statistics, which is min/max and avg. I ran each test three times and
bellow is average of those numers.
According to this benchmark result, average time is slightly degrated.
However, worstcase (max) result is significantly improved.
This can address a few seconds write freeze.

This takes in the comment and replaces the use of GFP_NOWAIT flag with
GFP_NOIO.
This removes nilfs_write_super and commit super block in nilfs
internal thread, instead of periodic write_super callback.
VFS layer calls ->write_super callback periodically. However,
it looks like that calling back is ommited when disk I/O is busy.
And when cleanerd (nilfs GC) is runnig, disk I/O tend to be busy thus
nilfs superblock is not synchronized as nilfs designed.
To avoid it, syncing superblock by nilfs thread instead of pdflush.
nilfs_write_super will call nilfs_commit_super to store super block
into block device. However, nilfs_put_super will call
nilfs_commit_super right after calling nilfs_write_super. So calling
nilfs_write_super in nilfs_put_super would be redundant.
nilfs2: always lookup disk block address before reading metadata block
The current metadata file code skips disk address lookup for its data
block if the buffer has a mapped flag.
This has a potential risk to cause read request to be performed
against the stale block address that GC moved, and it may lead to meta
data corruption. The mapped flag is safe if the buffer has an
uptodate flag, otherwise it may prevent necessary update of disk
address in the next read.
This will avoid the potential problem by ensuring disk address lookup
before reading metadata block even for buffers with the mapped flag.

block: use blkdev_issue_discard in blk_ioctl_discard
blk_ioctl_discard duplicates large amounts of code from blkdev_issue_discard,
the only difference between the two is that blkdev_issue_discard needs to
send a barrier discard request and blk_ioctl_discard a non-barrier one,
and blk_ioctl_discard needs to wait on the request. To facilitates this
add a flags argument to blkdev_issue_discard to control both aspects of the
behaviour. This will be very useful later on for using the waiting
funcitonality for other callers.

In some cases, the network device driver knows what layer-3 address the
device should have. This adds support for the Phonet stack to
automatically request from the driver and add that address to the
network device.

net: Add DEVTYPE support for Ethernet based devices
The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most
prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace
application it is important to classify these devices correctly and
not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit
or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification
in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not
good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel
does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid.
To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and
then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available
within udev.
This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish
between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc.
The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual
device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the
same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen.

The cure is to disable the controller before changing speed/duplex
and enable it afterwards.
Though, disabling the controller might take quite a while, so we
better not grab any spinlocks in adjust_link(). Instead, we quiesce
the driver's activity, and only then disable the controller.
