vfs: Don't call attach_nobh_buffers() with an empty list

nobh_write_end() could call attach_nobh_buffers() with head == NULL.
This would result in a trap when attach_nobh_buffers() attempted to

This can be illustrated by running the writev01 testcase from LTP on jfs.
This error was introduced by commit 5b41e74a "vfs: fix data leak in

PageMappedToDisk() is true upon entry to nobh_write_begin(), then no
buffers will be allocated for the page. In that case, we won't have to

Of course, head != NULL implies !page_has_buffers(page), so no need to

md: Ensure an md array never has too many devices.
Each different metadata format supported by md supports a
different maximum number of devices.
We really should be enforcing this maximum in the kernel, but
we aren't quite doing that properly.
We currently only enforce it at the 'hot_add' point, which is an
older interface which is not used by current userspace.
We need to also enforce it at 'add_new_disk' time for active arrays
and at 'do_md_run' time when starting a new array.
So move the test from 'hot_add' into 'bind_rdev_to_array' which is
called from both 'hot_add' and 'add_new_disk, and add a new
test in 'analyse_sbs' which is called from 'do_md_run'.
This bug (or missing feature) has been around "forever" and so
the patch is suitable for any -stable that is currently maintained.
which_dev() computes the device holding a given sector by shifting
down the sector number to a 32 bit range, dividing by the array
spacing and looking up the resulting index in the hash table of
the array.
Because the computed index might be slightly too small, a loop at
the end of which_dev() increases the index until the given sector
actually falls into the range of the device associated with that index.
The changes of the above mentioned commit caused this loop to check
whether the _index_ rather than the sector number is small enough,
effectively bypassing the loop and thus possibly returning the wrong
device.
As reported by Simon Kirby, this leads to errors such as

wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvation
With exclusive waiters, every process woken up through the wait queue must
ensure that the next waiter down the line is woken when it has finished.
Interruptible waiters don't do that when aborting due to a signal. And if
an aborting waiter is concurrently woken up through the waitqueue, noone
will ever wake up the next waiter.
This has been observed with __wait_on_bit_lock() used by
lock_page_killable(): the first contender on the queue was aborting when
the actual lock holder woke it up concurrently. The aborted contender
didn't acquire the lock and therefor never did an unlock followed by
waking up the next waiter.
Add abort_exclusive_wait() which removes the process' wait descriptor from
the waitqueue, iff still queued, or wakes up the next waiter otherwise.
It does so under the waitqueue lock. Racing with a wake up means the
aborting process is either already woken (removed from the queue) and will
wake up the next waiter, or it will remove itself from the queue and the
concurrent wake up will apply to the next waiter after it.
Use abort_exclusive_wait() in __wait_event_interruptible_exclusive() and
__wait_on_bit_lock() when they were interrupted by other means than a wake
up through the queue.

revert "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY"
Revert commit 0c2d64fb6cae9aae480f6a46cfe79f8d7d48b59f because it causes
(arguably poorly designed) existing userspace to spend interminable
periods closing billions of not-open file descriptors.
We could bring this back, with some sort of opt-in tunable in /proc, which
defaults to "off".
Peter's alanysis follows:
: I spent several hours trying to get to the bottom of a serious
: performance issue that appeared on one of our servers after upgrading to
: 2.6.28. In the end it's what could be considered a userspace bug that
: was triggered by a change in 2.6.28. Since this might also affect other
: people I figured I'd at least document what I found here, and maybe we
: can even do something about it:
:
:
: So, I upgraded some of debian.org's machines to 2.6.28.1 and immediately
: the team maintaining our ftp archive complained that one of their
: scripts that previously ran in a few minutes still hadn't even come
: close to being done after an hour or so. Downgrading to 2.6.27 fixed
: that.
:
: Turns out that script is forking a lot and something in it or python or
: whereever closes all the file descriptors it doesn't want to pass on.
: That is, it starts at zero and goes up to ulimit -n/RLIMIT_NOFILE and
: closes them all with a few exceptions.
:
: Turns out that takes a long time when your limit -n is now 2^20 (1048576).
:
: With 2.6.27.* the ulimit -n was the standard 1024, but with 2.6.28 it is
: now a thousand times that.
:
: 2.6.28 included a patch titled "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to
: RLIM_INFINITY" (0c2d64fb6cae9aae480f6a46cfe79f8d7d48b59f)[1] that
: allows, as the title implies, to set the limit for number of files to
: infinity.
:
: Closer investigation showed that the broken default ulimit did not apply
: to "system" processes (like stuff started from init). In the end I
: could establish that all processes that passed through pam_limit at one
: point had the bad resource limit.
:
: Apparently the pam library in Debian etch (4.0) initializes the limits
: to some default values when it doesn't have any settings in limit.conf
: to override them. Turns out that for nofiles this is RLIM_INFINITY.
: Commenting out "case RLIMIT_NOFILE" in pam_limit.c:267 of our pam
: package version 0.79-5 fixes that - tho I'm not sure what side effects
: that has.
:
: Debian lenny (the upcoming 5.0 version) doesn't have this issue as it
: uses a different pam (version).

shm: fix shmctl(SHM_INFO) lockup with !CONFIG_SHMEM
shm_get_stat() assumes that the inode is a "struct shmem_inode_info",
which is incorrect for !CONFIG_SHMEM (see fs/ramfs/inode.c:
ramfs_get_inode() vs. mm/shmem.c: shmem_get_inode()).
This bad assumption can cause shmctl(SHM_INFO) to lockup when
shm_get_stat() tries to spin_lock(&info->lock). Users of !CONFIG_SHMEM
may encounter this lockup simply by invoking the 'ipcs' command.

fbmem: don't call copy_from/to_user() with mutex held
Avoid calling copy_from/to_user() with fb_info->lock mutex held in fbmem
ioctl().
fb_mmap() is called under mm->mmap_sem (A) held, that also acquires
fb_info->lock (B); fb_ioctl() takes fb_info->lock (B) and does
copy_from/to_user() that might acquire mm->mmap_sem (A), causing a
deadlock.
NOTE: it doesn't push down the fb_info->lock in each own driver's
fb_ioctl(), so there are still potential deadlocks elsewhere.

hpilo: open/close fix
The device can take a while to respond to an open/close request, so
increase the time kernel will wait for response (1 ms to 10ms).
Also, properly clean up a channel on a failed open, by calling the channel
close routine. Just freeing the memory isn't sufficient, the device needs
to be informed that the channel is no longer open, and the device memory
cleared of references to freed dma buffer.
