To enable multiple mounts of devpts, 'allocated_ptys' must be a per-mount variable rather than a global variable. Move 'allocated_ptys' into the super_block's s_fs_info. Changelog[v2]: Define and use DEVPTS_SB() wrapper.

Remove the 'devpts_root' global variable and find the root dentry using the super_block. The super-block can be found from the device inode, using the new wrapper, pts_sb_from_inode().

Fixes the loss of echoed (and other ldisc-generated characters) when the tty is stopped or when the driver output buffer is full (happens frequently for input during continuous program output, such as ^C) and removes the Big Kernel Lock from the N_TTY line discipline. Adds an "echo buffer" to the N_TTY line discipline that handles all ldisc-generated output (including echoed characters). Along with the loss of characters, this also fixes the associated loss of sync between tty output and the ldisc state when characters cannot be immediately written to the tty driver. The echo buffer stores (in addition to characters) state operations that need to be done at the time of character output (like management of the column position). This allows echo to cooperate correctly with program output, since the ldisc state remains consistent with actual characters written. Since the echo buffer code now isolates the tty column state code to the process_out* and process_echoes functions, we can remove the Big Kernel Lock (BKL) and replace it with mutex locks. Highlights are: * Handles echo (and other ldisc output) when tty driver buffer is full - continuous program output can block echo * Saves echo when tty is in stopped state (e.g. ^S) - (e.g.: ^Q will correctly cause held characters to be released for output) * Control character pairs (e.g. "^C") are treated atomically and not split up by interleaved program output * Line discipline state is kept consistent with characters sent to the tty driver * Remove the big kernel lock (BKL) from N_TTY line discipline Signed-off-by: Joe Peterson <joe@skyrush.com> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Bug description: The IRDA receiver may can't receiving any more after processed some signals. To duplicate this issue is put three IRDA devices together, one blackfin, two none blackfin, they will detect each other. Let one none blackfin devices irdaping the blackfin devices, when it stopped print out ping information, it is the time that blackfin stoped receiving, the time is random. The related register bit is OK, the other devices is sending data continuously. But no interrupt come. Fixing: I tried Michael's suggestion that request the UARTx error interrupt, and reset the IRDA when found FE error. This method helps much, but it can't completely avoid stop. Reset the IRDA before every time sending the data is more safe.

* make ext2_new_inode() put the inode into icache in locked state * do not unlock until the inode is fully set up; otherwise nfsd might pick it in half-baked state. * make sure that ext2_new_inode() does *not* lead to two inodes with the same inumber hashed at the same time; otherwise a bogus fhandle coming from nfsd might race with inode creation: nfsd: iget_locked() creates inode nfsd: try to read from disk, block on that. ext2_new_inode(): allocate inode with that inumber ext2_new_inode(): insert it into icache, set it up and dirty ext2_write_inode(): get the relevant part of inode table in cache, set the entry for our inode (and start writing to disk) nfsd: get CPU again, look into inode table, see nice and sane on-disk inode, set the in-core inode from it oops - we have two in-core inodes with the same inumber live in icache, both used for IO.

new helpers - insert_inode_locked() and insert_inode_locked4(). Hash new inode, making sure that there's no such inode in icache already. If there is and it does not end up unhashed (as would happen if we have nfsd trying to resolve a bogus fhandle), fail. Otherwise insert our inode into hash and succeed. In either case have i_state set to new+locked; cleanup ends up being simpler with such calling conventions. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Creating a generic filesystem notification interface, fsnotify, which will be used by inotify, dnotify, and eventually fanotify is really starting to clutter the fs directory. This patch simply moves inotify and dnotify into fs/notify/inotify and fs/notify/dnotify respectively to make both current fs/ and future notification tidier.

- iget5_locked in bdget really needs blockdev_superblock, instead of bd_mnt, so bd_mnt could be just a local variable; - blockdev_superblock really needs __read_mostly, while local var bd_mnt not; - make use of sb_is_blkdev_sb in bd_forget, instead of direct reference to blockdev_superblock.

Remove the hopelessly misguided ->dir_notify(). The only instance (cifs) has been broken by design from the very beginning; the objects it creates are never destroyed, keep references to struct file they can outlive, nothing that could possibly evict them exists on close(2) path *and* no locking whatsoever is done to prevent races with close(), should the previous, er, deficiencies someday be dealt with.
