[PATCH] selinux_sb_copy_data() should not require a whole page
Currently selinux_sb_copy_data requires an entire page be allocated to
*orig when the function is called. This "requirement" is based on the fact
that we call copy_page(in_save, nosec_save) and in_save = orig when the
data is not FS_BINARY_MOUNTDATA. This means that if a caller were to call
do_kern_mount with only about 10 bytes of options, they would get passed
here and then we would corrupt PAGE_SIZE - 10 bytes of memory (with all
zeros.)
Currently it appears all in kernel FS's use one page of data so this has
not been a problem. An out of kernel FS did just what is described above
and it would almost always panic shortly after they tried to mount. From
looking else where in the kernel it is obvious that this string of data
must always be null terminated. (See example in do_mount where it always
zeros the last byte.) Thus I suggest we use strcpy in place of copy_page.
In this way we make sure the amount we copy is always less than or equal to
the amount we received and since do_mount is zeroing the last byte this
should be safe for all.

The iSeries code keeps a pointer to the ItLpQueue in its paca struct. But
all these pointers end up pointing to the one place, ie. xItLpQueue.
So remove the pointer from the paca struct and just refer to xItLpQueue
directly where needed.
The only complication is that the spread_lpevents logic was implemented by
having a NULL lpqueue pointer in the paca on CPUs that weren't supposed to
process events. Instead we just compare the spread_lpevents value to the
processor id to get the same behaviour.

[PATCH] ext3: reduce allocate-with-reservation lock latencies
Currently in ext3 block reservation code, the global filesystem reservation
tree lock (rsv_block) is hold during the process of searching for a space
to make a new reservation window, including while scaning the block bitmap
to verify if the avalible window has a free block. Holding the lock during
bitmap scan is unnecessary and could possibly cause scalability issue and
latency issues.
This patch tries to address this by dropping the lock before scan the
bitmap. Before that we need to reserve the open window in case someone
else is targetting at the same window. Question was should we reserve the
whole free reservable space or just the window size we need. Reserve the
whole free reservable space will possibly force other threads which
intended to do block allocation nearby move to another block group(cause
bad layout). In this patch, we just reserve the desired size before drop
the lock and scan the block bitmap. This patch fixed a ext3 reservation
latency issue seen on a cvs check out test. Patch is tested with many fsx,
tiobench, dbench and untar a kernel test.

Also be rid of the GFP_ATOMIC allocation: we've got working mempools for the
block layer now, so let's save atomic memory for things like networking.
Lastly, in get_request_wait, do an initial get_request call before going into
the waitqueue. This is reported to help efficiency.

[PATCH] coverity: tty_ldisc_ref return null check
We add a check of the return value of tty_ldisc_ref(), which
is checked 7 out of 8 times, e.g.:
149 ld = tty_ldisc_ref(tty);
150 if (ld != NULL) {
151 if (ld->set_termios)
152 (ld->set_termios)(tty, &old_termios);
153 tty_ldisc_deref(ld);
154 }
This defect was found automatically by Coverity Prevent, a static analysis
tool.
(akpm: presumably `ld' is never NULL. Oh well)
