      Revert "ext2/ext3/ext4: add block bitmap validation" · 0b832a4b
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 7c9e69fa, fixing up
      conflicts in fs/ext4/balloc.c manually.
      
      The cost of doing the bitmap validation on each lookup - even when the
      bitmap is cached - is absolutely prohibitive.  We could, and probably
      should, do it only when adding the bitmap to the buffer cache.  However,
      right now we are better off just reverting it.
      
      Peter Zijlstra measured the cost of this extra validation as a 85%
      decrease in cached iozone, and while I had a patch that took it down to
      just 17% by not being _quite_ so stupid in the validation, it was still
      a big slowdown that could have been avoided by just doing it right.

      sigwait eats blocked default-ignore signals · 325d22df
      Roland McGrath authored
      While a signal is blocked, it must be posted even if its action is
      SIG_IGN or is SIG_DFL with the default action to ignore.  This works
      right most of the time, but is broken when a sigwait (rt_sigtimedwait)
      is in progress.  This changes the early-discard check to respect
      real_blocked.  ~blocked is the set to check for "should wake up now",
      but ~(blocked|real_blocked) is the set for "blocked" semantics as
      defined by POSIX.
      
      This fixes bugzilla entry 9347, see
