This series of patches finished "bugs fixing" mentioned
here http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/31/275 .
The main bugs:
* for i in `seq 1 1000`; do touch $i; done - crash system
* mkdir create directory without "." and ".." entries
The suggested solution is work with page cache instead of straight work
with blocks. Such solution has following advantages
* reduce code size and its complexity
* some global locks go away
* fix bugs
The most part of code is stolen from ext2, because of it has similar
directory structure.
Patches testes with UFS1 and UFS2 file systems.
This patch installs i_mapping->a_ops for directory inodes and removes some
duplicated code.

First of all some necessary notes about UFS by it self: To avoid waste of disk
space the tail of file consists not from blocks (which is ordinary big enough,
16K usually), it consists from fragments(which is ordinary 2K). When file is
growing its tail occupy 1 fragment, 2 fragments... At some stage decision to
allocate whole block is made and all fragments are moved to one block.
How this situation was handled before:
ufs_prepare_write
->block_prepare_write
->ufs_getfrag_block
->...
->ufs_new_fragments:
bh = sb_bread
bh->b_blocknr = result + i;
mark_buffer_dirty (bh);
This is wrong solution, because:
- it didn't take into consideration that there is another cache: "inode page
cache"
- because of sb_getblk uses not b_blocknr, (it uses page->index) to find
certain block, this breaks sb_getblk.
How this situation is handled now: we go though all "page inode cache", if
there are no such page in cache we load it into cache, and change b_blocknr.

* After block allocation, we map it on the same "address" as 8 others
blocks
* We nullify block several times: once in ufs/block.c and once in
block_*write_full_page, and use different "caches" for this.

Currently, ufs write support have two sets of problems: work with files and
work with directories.
This series of patches should solve the first problem.
This patch is similar to http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/17/61 this patch
complements it.
The situation the same: in ufs_trunc_(not direct), we read block, check if
count of links to it is equal to one, if so we finish cycle, if not
continue. Because of "count of links" always >=2 this operation cause
infinite cycle and hang up the kernel.

Since raw_notifier chains don't benefit from any centralized locking
protections, they shouldn't suffer from the associated limitations. Under
some circumstances it might make sense for a raw_notifier callout routine
to unregister itself from the notifier chain. This patch (as678) changes
the notifier core to allow for such things.

There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which
is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning
that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled. For
those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64,
powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower
code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var
on those platforms.
This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x,
raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu
implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that
have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

Clean up and refactor i386 sub-architecture setup.
This change moves all the code from the
asm-i386/mach-*/setup_arch_pre/post.h headers, into
arch/i386/mach-*/setup.c. mach-*/setup_arch_pre.h is renamed to
setup_arch.h, and contains only things which should be in header files. It
is purely code-motion; there should be no functional changes at all.
Several functions in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c needed to be made non-static
so that they're visible to the code in mach-*/setup.c. asm-i386/setup.h is
used to hold the prototypes for these functions.

Hooks for calling vma specific migration functions
With this patch a vma may define a vma->vm_ops->migrate function. That
function may perform page migration on its own (some vmas may not contain page
structs and therefore cannot be handled by regular page migration. Pages in a
vma may require special preparatory treatment before migration is possible
etc) . Only mmap_sem is held when the migration function is called. The
migrate() function gets passed two sets of nodemasks describing the source and
the target of the migration. The flags parameter either contains
MPOL_MF_MOVE which means that only pages used exclusively by
the specified mm should be moved
or
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL which means that pages shared with other processes
should also be moved.
The migration function returns 0 on success or an error condition. An error
condition will prevent regular page migration from occurring.
On its own this patch cannot be included since there are no users for this
functionality. But it seems that the uncached allocator will need this
functionality at some point.

Remove VM_LOCKED before remap_pfn range from device drivers and get rid of
VM_SHM.
remap_pfn_range() already sets VM_IO. There is no need to set VM_SHM since
it does nothing. VM_LOCKED is of no use since the remap_pfn_range does not
place pages on the LRU. The pages are therefore never subject to swap
anyways. Remove all the vm_flags settings before calling remap_pfn_range.
After removing all the vm_flag settings no use of VM_SHM is left. Drop it.

AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE victims in read_pages() belong in the LRU
Nick Piggin rightly pointed out that the introduction of AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE
to read_pages() was wrong to leave A_T_P victim pages in the page cache but
not put them in the LRU. Failing to do so hid them from the VM.
A_T_P just means that the aop method unlocked the page rather than
performing IO. It would be very rare that the page was truncated between
the unlock and testing A_T_P. So we leave the pages in the LRU for likely
reuse soon rather than backing them back out of the page cache. We do this
by matching the behaviour before the A_T_P introduction which added pages
to the LRU regardless of what ->readpage() did.
This doesn't include the unrelated cleanup in Nick's initial fix which
changed read_pages() to return void to match its only caller's behaviour of
ignoring errors.

This reverts commit 786dc1d3d7.
As Al so eloquently points out, the patch is crap. The old code was fine,
the new code was bogus.
It never dereferenced a user pointer, the "->" operator was to an array
member, which gives the _address_ of the member (in user space), not an
actual dereference at all.

In order for userspace to find saved coprocessor registers, move them from
struct rt_sigframe into struct ucontext. Also allow space for glibc's
sigset_t, so that userspace and kernelspace can use the same ucontext
layout. Define the magic numbers for iWMMXt in the header file for easier
