NFS: More "sloppy" parsing problems
Specifying "port=-5" with the kernel's current mount option parser
generates "unrecognized mount option". If "sloppy" is set, this
causes the mount to succeed and use the default values; the desired
behavior is that, since this is a valid option with an invalid value,
the mount should fail, even with "sloppy."
To properly handle "sloppy" parsing, we need to distinguish between
correct options with invalid values, and incorrect options. We will
need to parse integer values by hand, therefore, and not rely on
match_token().
For instance, these must all fail with "invalid value":
and not with "unrecognized option," as they do currently.
Thus, for the sake of match_token() we need to treat the values for
these options as strings, and do the conversion to integers using
strict_strtol().
This is basically the same solution we used for the earlier "retry="
fix (commit ecbb3845), except in this case the kernel actually has to
parse the value, rather than ignore it.

NFS: Invalid mount option values should always fail, even with "sloppy"
Ian Kent reports:
"I've noticed a couple of other regressions with the options vers
and proto option of mount.nfs(8).
The commands:
mount -t nfs -o vers=<invalid version> <server>:/<path> /<mountpoint>
mount -t nfs -o proto=<invalid proto> <server>:/<path> /<mountpoint>
both immediately fail.
But if the "-s" option is also used they both succeed with the
mount falling back to defaults (by the look of it).
In the past these failed even when the sloppy option was given, as
I think they should. I believe the sloppy option is meant to allow
the mount command to still function for mount options (for example
in shared autofs maps) that exist on other Unix implementations but
aren't present in the Linux mount.nfs(8). So, an invalid value
specified for a known mount option is different to an unknown mount
option and should fail appropriately."

NFS: Add separate mountd status code decoders for each mountd version
Introduce data structures and xdr_stream-based decoding functions for
unmarshalling mountd status codes properly.
Mountd version 3 uses specific standard error return codes that are
not errno values and not NFS3ERR_ values. These have a well-defined
standard mapping to local errno values. Introduce data structures
and a decoder function that map these status codes to local errno
values properly. This is new functionality (but not used yet).
Version 1 mountd status values are defined by RFC 1094 as UNIX error
values (errno values). Errno values on heterogeneous systems do not
necessarily match each other. To avoid exposing possibly incorrect
errno values to upper layers, the current XDR decoder converts all
non-zero MNT version 1 status codes to -EACCES.
The OpenGroup XNFS standard provides a mapping similar to but smaller
than the version 3 error codes. Implement a decoder that uses the XNFS
error codes, replacing the current decoder.
For both mountd protocol versions, map unrecognized errors to -EACCES.
Finally we introduce a replacement data structure for mnt_fhstatus
at this time, which is used by the new XDR decoders. In addition to
documenting that the status value returned by the XDR decoders is
always an errno, this new structure will be expanded in subsequent
patches.

lockd: Update NSM state from SM_MON replies
When rpc.statd starts up in user space at boot time, it attempts to
write the latest NSM local state number into
/proc/sys/fs/nfs/nsm_local_state.
If lockd.ko isn't loaded yet (as is the case in most configurations),
that file doesn't exist, thus the kernel's NSM state remains set to
its initial value of zero during lockd operation.
This is a problem because rpc.statd and lockd use the NSM state number
to prevent repeated lock recovery on rebooted hosts. If lockd sends
a zero NSM state, but then a delayed SM_NOTIFY with a real NSM state
number is received, there is no way for lockd or rpc.statd to
distinguish that stale SM_NOTIFY from an actual reboot. Thus lock
recovery could be performed after the rebooted host has already
started reclaiming locks, and those locks will be lost.
We could change /etc/init.d/nfslock so it always modprobes lockd.ko
before starting rpc.statd. However, if lockd.ko is ever unloaded
and reloaded, we are back at square one, since the NSM state is not
preserved across an unload/reload cycle. This may happen frequently
on clients that use automounter. A period of NFS inactivity causes
lockd.ko to be unloaded, and the kernel loses its NSM state setting.
Instead, let's use the fact that rpc.statd plants the local system's
NSM state in every SM_MON (and SM_UNMON) reply. lockd performs a
synchronous SM_MON upcall to the local rpc.statd _before_ sending its
first NLM request to a new remote. This would permit rpc.statd to
provide the current NSM state to lockd, even after lockd.ko had been
unloaded and reloaded.
Note that NLMPROC_LOCK arguments are constructed before the
nsm_monitor() call, so we have to rearrange argument construction very
slightly to make this all work out.
And, the kernel appears to treat NSM state as a u32 (see struct
nlm_args and nsm_res). Make nsm_local_state a u32 as well, to ensure
we don't get bogus comparison results.

MIPS: Alchemy: Rewrite GPIO support.
The current in-kernel Alchemy GPIO support is far too inflexible for
all my use cases. To address this, the following changes are made:
* create generic functions which deal with manipulating the on-chip
GPIO1/2 blocks. Such functions are universally useful.
* Macros for GPIO2 shared interrupt management and block control.
* support for both built-in CONFIG_GPIOLIB and fast, inlined GPIO macros.
If CONFIG_GPIOLIB is not enabled, provide linux gpio framework
compatibility by directly inlining the GPIO1/2 functions. GPIO access
is limited to on-chip ones and they can be accessed as documented in
the datasheets (GPIO0-31 and 200-215).
If CONFIG_GPIOLIB is selected, two (2) gpio_chip-s, one for GPIO1 and
one for GPIO2, are registered. GPIOs can still be accessed by using
the numberspace established in the databooks.
However this is not yet flexible enough for my uses: My Alchemy
systems have a documented "external" gpio interface (fixed, different
numberspace) and can support a variety of baseboards, some of which
are equipped with I2C gpio expanders. I want to be able to provide
the default 16 GPIOs of the CPU board numbered as 0..15 and also
support gpio expanders, if present, starting as gpio16.
To achieve this, a new Kconfig symbol for Alchemy is introduced,
CONFIG_ALCHEMY_GPIO_INDIRECT, which boards can enable to signal
that they don't want the Alchemy numberspace exposed to the outside
world, but instead want to provide their own. Boards are now respon-
sible for providing the linux gpio interface glue code (either in a
custom gpio.h header (in board include directory) or with gpio_chips).
To make the board-specific inlined gpio functions work, the MIPS
Makefile must be changed so that the mach-au1x00/gpio.h header is
included _after_ the board headers, by moving the inclusion of
the mach-au1x00/ to the end of the header list.
See arch/mips/include/asm/mach-au1x00/gpio.h for more info.

several unlock_kernel(). Finally a few unlock_kernel() calls left.

ext4: avoid unnecessary spinlock in critical POSIX ACL path
If a filesystem supports POSIX ACL's, the VFS layer expects the filesystem
to do POSIX ACL checks on any files not owned by the caller, and it does
this for every single pathname component that it looks up.
That obviously can be pretty expensive if the filesystem isn't careful
about it, especially with locking. That's doubly sad, since the common
case tends to be that there are no ACL's associated with the files in
question.
ext4 already caches the ACL data so that it doesn't have to look it up
over and over again, but it does so by taking the inode->i_lock spinlock
on every lookup. Which is a noticeable overhead even if it's a private
lock, especially on CPU's where the serialization is expensive (eg Intel
Netburst aka 'P4').
For the special case of not actually having any ACL's, all that locking is
unnecessary. Even if somebody else were to be changing the ACL's on
another CPU, we simply don't care - if we've seen a NULL ACL, we might as
well use it.
So just load the ACL speculatively without any locking, and if it was
NULL, just use it. If it's non-NULL (either because we had a cached
entry, or because the cache hasn't been filled in at all), it means that
we'll need to get the lock and re-load it properly.
(This commit was ported from a patch originally authored by Linus for
ext3.)

This is noticeable even on Nehalem, which does locking quite well (much
better than P4). From lmbench:

where you can see what appears to be a roughly 3% improvement in stat
and open/close latencies from just the removal of the locking overhead.
Of course, this only matters for files you don't own (the owner never
needs to do the ACL checks), but that's the common case for libraries,
header files, and executables. As well as for the base components of any
absolute pathname, even if you are the owner of the final file.
[ At some point we probably want to move this ACL caching logic entirely
into the VFS layer (and only call down to the filesystem when
uncached), but in the meantime this improves ext3 a bit.
A similar fix to btrfs makes a much bigger difference (15x improvement
in lmbench) due to broken caching. ]

AFS: Correctly translate auth error aborts and don't failover in such cases
Authentication error abort codes should be translated to appropriate
Linux error codes, rather than all being translated to EREMOTEIO - which
indicates that the server had internal problems.
Additionally, a server shouldn't be marked unavailable and the next
server tried if an authentication error occurs. This will quickly make
all the servers unavailable to the client. Instead the error should be
returned straight to the user.

RxRPC: Don't attempt to reuse aborted connections
Connections that have seen a connection-level abort should not be reused
as the far end will just abort them again; instead a new connection
should be made.
Connection-level aborts occur due to such things as authentication
