Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
handler methods. This allows using the same methods for multiple
handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.
Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
e.g. cifs.

is in fs/dcache.c. Move the EXPORT_SYMBOL to the line immediately

vfs: force reval of target when following LAST_BIND symlinks (try #7)
procfs-style symlinks return a last_type of LAST_BIND without an actual
path string. This causes __follow_link to skip calling __vfs_follow_link
and so the dentry isn't revalidated.
This is a problem when the link target sits on NFSv4 as it depends on
the VFS to revalidate the dentry before using it on an open call. Ensure
that this occurs by forcing a revalidation of the target dentry of
LAST_BIND symlinks.

output values varies from case to case depending on the chip type and
configuration (scale). Only joystick interface in JS_CORR_BROKEN mode

Joystick device is in that state by default in case of lis3.
Position sysfs entry, input event device and raw joystick device have been
little bit broken since meaning of the output values has been varied
between 12 and 8 bit devices. Applications which relayed on those methods
failed if the chip is different than the expected one.
This patch converts output values to mean similar thing in different
configurations. Both 8 and 12 bit devices reports now same acceleration
values. If somebody implements full scale support to the driver, output
values will still mean the same. Scaling factor and input device range
must be updated in that case.
Joystick interface in JS_CORR_BROKEN mode is not touched by this patch.
All other interfaces have different scale after this change. For 12 bit

Add a module parameter to set whether cards are assumed removable or

In general, it is not possible to tell whether a card present in an MMC
slot after resume is the same that was there before suspend. So there are
two possible behaviours, each of which will cause data loss in some cases:
CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME=n (default): Cards are assumed to be removed
during suspend. Any filesystem on them must be unmounted before suspend;
otherwise, buffered writes will be lost.
CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME=y: Cards are assumed to remain present during
suspend. They must not be swapped during suspend; otherwise, buffered
writes will be flushed to the wrong card.
Currently the choice is made at compile time and this allows that to be
overridden at module load time.

remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

s++;
If *s == 0, isspace() evaluates to ((_ctype[*s] & 0x20) != 0), which
evaluates to ((0x08 & 0x20) != 0) which equals to 0 as well.
If *s == 1, we depend on isspace() result anyway. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space", so remove this check.
Also, *s != 0 is most common case (non-null string).

the size of the variable used to keep track of the sum of characters
converted to numbers:
unsigned long simple_strtoul() {...}

Both are same size on my Core 2/gcc 4.4.1.
Overflow condition is not checked on both functions, so an extremely large
string can break these functions so that they don't even notice it.
As we do not care for overflowing on these functions, always keep the sum
using the larger variable around (unsigned long long) on simple_strtoull()
and cast it to (unsigned long) on simple_strtoul(), which then becomes
just a wrapper around simple_strtoull().

64641 584 592 65817 10119 (TOTALS-lib.a-AFTER)
and implements some code tidy up.
Besides reducing lib.a size, it converts many in-tree drivers to use the
newly defined function, which makes another small reduction on kernel size
overall when those drivers are used.
