[XFS] Ondisk format extension for extended attributes (attr2). Basically,
the data/attr forks now grow up/down from either end of the literal area,
rather than dividing the literal area into two chunks and growing both
upward. Means we can now make much more efficient use of the attribute
space, incl. fitting DMF attributes inline in 256 byte inodes, and large
jumps in dbench3 performance numbers. It is self enabling, but can be
forced on/off via the attr2/noattr2 mount options.

WARN_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE));

When the inode is in I_FREEING state, it's already out of the visibility

generic_delete_inode path can call the sync internally to the lowlevel

[PATCH] HPET: make frequency calculations 32 bit safe
On 32-bit architectures, the multiplication in the argument for
hpet_time_div() often overflows. In the typical case of a 14.32 MHz timer,
this happens when the desired frequency exceeds 61 Hz.
To avoid this multiplication, we can precompute and store the hardware
timer frequency, instead of the period, in the device structure, which
leaves us with a simple division when computing the number of timer ticks.
As a side effect, this also removes a theoretical bug where the timer
interpolator's frequency would be computed as a 32-bit value even if the
HPET frequency is greater than 2^32 Hz (the HPET spec allows up to 10 GHz).

drop the spinlock and we can have both the dirty and locked bitflags clear
here:
spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
__wait_on_inode(inode);
iput(inode);
XXXXXXX
spin_lock(&inode_lock);
}
use inode again here
a construct like the above makes zero sense from a reference counting
standpoint.
Either we don't ever use the inode again after the iput, or the
inode_lock should be taken _before_ executing the iput (i.e. a __iput
would be required). Taking the inode_lock after iput means the iget was
useless if we keep using the inode after the iput.
So the only chance the 2.6 was safe to call __writeback_single_inode
with the i_count == 0, is that I_WILL_FREE is set (I_WILL_FREE will
prevent the VM to free the inode in XXXXX).
Potentially calling the above iput with I_WILL_FREE was also wrong
because it would recurse in iput_final (the second mainline bug).
The below (untested) patch fixes the nr_unused accounting, avoids recursing
in iput when I_WILL_FREE is set and makes sure (with the BUG_ON) that we
don't corrupt memory and that all holders that don't set I_WILL_FREE, keeps
a reference on the inode!

[PATCH] modules: fix sparse warning for every MODULE_PARM
sparse complains about every MODULE_PARM used in a module: warning: symbol
'__parm_foo' was not declared. Should it be static?
The fix is to split declaration and initialization. While MODULE_PARM is
obsolete, it's not something sparse should report.
