      "[PATCH] Fix leak on /proc/lockdep_stats" fixed 5 leaks which happen if one
uses single_open() as .open function and seq_release() as .release function.

Let's add small amount of runtime checking.

Sample output is:

	memory leak: 'timer_list'
	WARNING: at fs/seq_file.c:289 seq_release()

      Hugh Dickins authored 
      and one was sighted a couple of years ago.  No reason yet to suppose
they're prio_tree bugs, but we can't tell much about them without seeing
the vmas.

So dump vma and the one it's supposed to resemble: I had expected to use
print_hex_dump(), but that's designed for u8 dumps, whereas almost every
field of vm_area_struct is either a pointer or an unsigned long - which
look nonsense dumped as u8s.

Replace the two BUG_ONs by a single WARN_ON; and if it fires, just keep
this vma out of the tree (truncation and swapout won't be able to find it).
 How safe this is depends on what the error really is; but we hold a file's
i_mmap_lock here, so it may be impossible to recover from BUG_ON.

      potentially a quite valid value, so not restoring it would be wrong.

What *would* be interesting is to hear where the bad values came from in
the first place.  It sounds like the device state is saved after the PCI
bus controller in front of the device has been crapped on, resulting in the
PCI config cycles never reaching the device at all.

Something along this patch (together with suspend/resume debugging output)
migth help pinpoint it.  But it really sounds like something totally
brokenly turned off the PCI bridge (some ACPI shutdown crud?  I wouldn't be
entirely surprised)

      that would have been easier to debug if the PFN of page addresses were
available.  The dmesg output is often insufficient to find that information so
debugging patches need to be sent to the reporting user.

This patch prints out information on the memmap when it is being allocated and
the sizeof(struct page) when loglevel is set high enough.  In most
architectures, this output is produced in generic code.  x86_64 and ia64 both
setup node_mem_map in an architecture-specific manner requiring arch-specfic
changes.  Th memmap information can be used to translate any valid page
address into a PFN.  page_to_pfn() cannot be used directly in bad_page()
because there is no guarantee that the address pointer is valid in any way and
the translation can produce garbage.

Information on memmap is not printed out for the SPARSEMEM memory model.  This
only applies to FLATMEM and DISCONTIG configurations.

      This is the main reiserfs4 filesystem. · 3831c89d
      Vladimir Saveliev authored 
      Q&A wrt this patch:

- A really short guide to how to get up and running with this filesystem.

        Reiser4 is a file system based on dancing tree algorithms, and
        is described at http://www.namesys.com.  One should be able to get it
        up and running just like any of the other filesystems supported by
        Linux.  Configure it to be compiled either builtin or as a module. 
        Create reiser4 filesystem with mkfs.reiser4, mount and use it.  More
        detailed info can be found at
        http://thebsh.namesys.com/snapshots/LATEST/READ.ME.

- The direct URL which people use to obtain the mkfs tool for this
  filesystem.  Also fsck and anything else.

        Reiser4 userland tools can be obtained at
        ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4progs. 
        ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4progs/README contains detailed
        instructions on how to compile and install these tools.  Also all
        reiser4 progs have man pages.  

- Any known shortcomings, caveats, etc.

        Reiser4 has been tested on i386 yet only.  Quota support is
        not ready yet.  Should be ready soon.  Reiser4 was tested extensively,
        and we got to where the mailing list was not able to hit any bugs, but
        then we told people that, got an order of magnitude increase in users,
        and they are able to hit bugs that we are working on now.

        Reiser's Law of Software Engineering: Each order of magnitude
        increase in users finds more bugs, in a quantity equal to the previous
        order of magnitude increase in users.  Success for software developers
        is measured by how long the frustration lasts.

        Only the very core functionality is working.  Exotic plugins,
        an API for multiple operation transactions and accessing multiple
        small files in one syscall, compression, inheritance, all have been
        postponed until after the core functionality is shipped.  The
        compression plugin needs a code review before anyone should use it.

- A statement on compatibility with reiserfs3 filesytems.

        To upgrade from reiserfs V3 to V4, use tar, or sponsor us to
        write a convertfs.

- Bear in mind that people will immediately benchmark this filesytem, and
  first impressions count.  Now is your chance to communicate any tuning
  guidelines, mount options or whatever which you'd like people to understand
  BEFORE they start publishing benchmark info.

        Reiser4 is not tuned for fsync/sync/O_SYNC performance yet.  

        If you see results that are much different from those at
        www.namesys.com/benchmarks.html, let us know.  If you see performance
        characteristics that don't quite make sense, email
        reiserfs-list@namesys.com, such things are always of interest.

        reiser4 is not tuned for mmaping and dirtying more than
        physical ram like IOzone does.  This is quite different in its code
        path from writing and dirtying more than physical ram.  There are
        those who think that what IOZone does is rarely done by real programs,
        and therefor we should not bother to optimize what it does.  All I
        know is, this month we are not optimized for it.

        Please consider its space savings when you benchmark it also.

reiser4: use simple_prepare_write to zero page data

It's common for file systems to need to zero data on either side of a
write, if a page is not Uptodate during prepare_write.  It just so happens
that simple_prepare_write() in libfs.c does exactly that, so we can avoid
duplication and just call that function to zero page data.

	As bi_end_io is only called once when the request is complete,
	the 'size' argument is now redundant.  Remove it.

	Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
	from bi_size.  So don't do that either.

	While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void.

      generic implementaion and changes fs-writeback.c:sync_sb_inodes() to call
filesystem's sync_inodes if it is defined or generic implementaion otherwise.
This new operation allows filesystem to decide itself what to flush.

Reiser4 flushes dirty pages on basic of atoms, not of inodes.  sync_sb_inodes
used to call address space flushing method (writepages) for every dirty inode.
 For reiser4 it caused having to commit atoms unnecessarily often.  This
turned into substantial slowdown.  Having this method helped to fix that
problem.

      In accordance with reiser4 transactional model every dirty page should be · 79465f4f
      Edward Shishkin authored 
      "captured" by some atom.  However, outside reiser4 context dirty page can
not be captured in some cases, as it is accompanied with specific work
(jnode creation, etc).  Reiser4 recognizes such "anonymous" pages (i.e. 
pages that were dirtied outside of reiser4) by the tag
PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY.  Pages dirtied inside reiser4 context are not tagged
at all: we don't need this.  Indeed, once page is dirtied and captured, it
is attached to a jnode (a special header to keep a track of transactions).

reiser4_set_page_dirty_internal() was the internal reiser4 function that
set dirty bit without tagging the page.  Having such internal function led
to real problems (incorrect task io accounting, etc.  because of not
updating this internal "friend").

Solution:

The following patch adds a core library function that sets a dirty bit
without tagging the page.

      This is the first part of the lzo patch The lzo compressor is worse than · 605dd428

      gzip at compression, but faster at extraction.  Here are some figures for
an ARM board I'm working on:

Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
gzip  1.61Mo 0.72s
lzo   1.75Mo 0.48s

So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
much faster to extract, at least in that case.

This version applies to kernel 2.6.31-rc3

This part contains:
 - Makefile routine to support lzo compression
 - Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
   compressed kernels
 - wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
   block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
 - config dialog for kernel compression

      When unaligned accesses are required for uncompressing a kernel (such as · cb340f3a
      Albin Tonnerre authored 
      for LZO decompression on ARM in a patch that follows), including
<linux/kernel.h> causes issues as it brings in a lot of things that are
not available in the decompression environment.

However, those files apparently use nothing from <linux/kernel.h>, all
they need is the declaration of types such as u32 or u64, so
<linux/types.h> should be enough
