switch hostfs_iattr to explicit unsigned short
It's shared between kernel-compiled hostfs_kern and userland-compiled
hostfs_user (it's uml stuff). Use explicit type instead of playing
silly buggers with mode_t. It's not a userland API per se; it interacts
between code compiled with types same as for host kernel and, directly
linked to it, code talking to libc. Both sides come from the same
kernel source...

udf: propagate umode_t
note re mount options: fmask and dmask are explicitly truncated to 12bit,
UDF_INVALID_MODE just needs to be guaranteed to differ from any such value.
And umask is used only in &= with umode_t, so we ignore other bits anyway.

9p: don't bother with unixmode2p9mode() for link() and symlink()
Pass perm to v9fs_vfs_mkspecial() instead of passing mode;
calculate in caller when done for mknod(), use known value for link()
and symlink(). As the result, we avoid a bit of work *and* stop
mixing mode_t with P9_DMLINK.

switch ->create() to umode_t
vfs_create() ignores everything outside of 16bit subset of its

vfs: fix the rest of sget() races
unfortunately, just checking MS_BORN after having grabbed ->s_umount in
sget() is not enough; places that pick superblock from a list and
grab s_umount shared need the same check in addition to checking for
->s_root; otherwise three-way race between failing mount, sget() and
such list-walker can leave us with list-walker coming *second*, when
temporary active ref grabbed by sget() (to be dropped when sget()
notices that original mount has failed by checking MS_BORN) has
lead to deactivate_locked_super() from failing ->mount() *not* doing
->kill_sb() and just releasing ->s_umount. Once sget() gets through
and notices that MS_BORN had never been set it will drop the active
ref and fs will be shut down and kicked out of all lists, but it's
too late for something like sync_supers().

vfs: fix the stupidity with i_dentry in inode destructors
Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
and sockets and negative for everything else. Not to mention the removal of
boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...

It causes failures on Toshiba laptops - instead of disabling the alarm,
it actually seems to enable it on the affected laptops, resulting in
(for example) the laptop powering on automatically five minutes after
shutdown.
There's a patch for it that appears to work for at least some people,
but it's too late to play around with this, so revert for now and try
again in the next merge window.

security: Fix security_old_inode_init_security() when CONFIG_SECURITY is not set
Commit 1e39f384bb01 ("evm: fix build problems") makes the stub version
of security_old_inode_init_security() return 0 when CONFIG_SECURITY is
not set.
But that makes callers such as reiserfs_security_init() assume that
security_old_inode_init_security() has set name, value, and len
arguments properly - but security_old_inode_init_security() left them
uninitialized which then results in interesting failures.
Revert security_old_inode_init_security() to the old behavior of
returning EOPNOTSUPP since both callers (reiserfs and ocfs2) handle this
just fine.
[ Also fixed the S_PRIVATE(inode) case of the actual non-stub
security_old_inode_init_security() function to return EOPNOTSUPP
for the same reason, as pointed out by Mimi Zohar.
It got incorrectly changed to match the new function in commit fb88c2b6cbb1: "evm: fix security/security_old_init_security return
code". - Linus ]
