The callers of scsi_send_eh_cmnd are setting the cmnd buffer,
and then scsi_send_eh_cmnd is copying that updated buffer to
the old_cmnd variable. Then after the command runs, we end up
copying that old_cmnd var which has the new cmnd to the scsi
command buffer. When this command gets recent, all types of fun
things happen like getting TUR or START_STOP commands with
data and scatterlists.

This patch made against scsi-rc-fixes, has the callers of
scsi_send_eh_cmnd pass in the command so scsi_send_eh_cmnd
can do the right thing. This should go into 2.6.18 since this
fixes a regression added when we removed some of the scsi_cmnd
fields and replaced them with local variables.

Original code attempts to retry PLOGIs to fcports that are
FCP_TARGETs only.  If the driver never performed a successful
PLOGI/PRLI, the port-type would never be assigned, and the
relogin logic would silently drop the request (and thus the port
would not be recognized and registered).

The fix is relatively straightforward, drop the FCP_TARGET-only
check.

Currently, the access() call will return incorrect information on NFS if
there exists an ACL that grants execute access to the user on a regular
file. The reason the information is incorrect is that the VFS overrides
this execute access in open_exec() by checking (inode->i_mode & 0111).

This patch propagates the VFS execute bit check back into the generic
permission() call.

Check the bounds of length specifiers more thoroughly in the XDR decoding of
NFS4 readdir reply data.

Currently, if the server returns a bitmap or attr length that causes the
current decode point pointer to wrap, this could go undetected (consider a
small "negative" length on a 32-bit machine).

Also add a check into the main XDR decode handler to make sure that the amount
of data is a multiple of four bytes (as specified by RFC-1014).  This makes
sure that we can do u32* pointer subtraction in the NFS client without risking
an undefined result (the result is undefined if the pointers are not correctly
aligned with respect to one another).

I'm trying to speeding up mkdir(2) for network file systems.  A typical
mkdir(2) calls two inode_operations: lookup and mkdir.  The lookup
operation would fail with ENOENT in common case.  I think it is unnecessary
because the subsequent mkdir operation can check it.  In case of creat(2),
lookup operation is called with the LOOKUP_CREATE flag, so individual
filesystem can omit real lookup.  e.g.  nfs_lookup().

Here is a sample patch which uses LOOKUP_CREATE and O_EXCL on mkdir,
symlink and mknod.  This uses the gadget for creat(2).

And here is the result of a benchmark on NFSv3.
  mkdir(2) 10,000 times:

honored exactly, these hardware problems are visible.

Alright, this one is only triggered when slab debugging is enabled.  The
slabs are assumed to be aligned on a HUGEPTE_TABLE_SIZE boundary.  The free
path makes use of this assumption and uses the lowest nibble to pass around
an index into an array of kmem_cache pointers.  With slab debugging turned
on, the slab is still aligned, but the "working" object pointer is not.
This would break the assumption above that a full nibble is available for
the PGF_CACHENUM_MASK.

The following patch reduces PGF_CACHENUM_MASK to cover only the two least
significant bits, which is enough to cover the current number of 4 pgtable
cache types.  Then use this constant to mask out the appropriate part of
the huge pte pointer.
