Some time ago, some changes were made to make security inode attributes
be atomically written during inode creation. ReiserFS fell behind in
this area, but with the reworking of the xattr code, it's now fairly
easy to add.
The following patch adds the ability for security attributes to be added
automatically during inode creation.

The current reiserfs xattr implementation open codes reiserfs_readdir
and frees the path before calling the filldir function. Typically, the
filldir function is something that modifies the file system, such as a
chown or an inode deletion that also require reading of an inode
associated with each direntry. Since the file system is modified, the
path retained becomes invalid for the next run. In addition, it runs
backwards in attempt to minimize activity.
This is clearly suboptimal from a code cleanliness perspective as well
as performance-wise.
This patch implements a generic reiserfs_for_each_xattr that uses the
generic readdir and a specific filldir routine that simply populates an
array of dentries and then performs a specific operation on them. When
all files have been operated on, it then calls the operation on the
directory itself.
The result is a noticable code reduction and better performance.

Deadlocks are possible in the xattr code between the journal lock and the
xattr sems.
This patch implements journalling for xattr operations. The benefit is
twofold:
* It gets rid of the deadlock possibility by always ensuring that xattr
write operations are initiated inside a transaction.
* It corrects the problem where xattr backing files aren't considered any
differently than normal files, despite the fact they are metadata.
I discussed the added journal load with Chris Mason, and we decided that
since xattrs (versus other journal activity) is fairly rare, the introduction
of larger transactions to support journaled xattrs wouldn't be too big a deal.

Christoph Hellwig had asked me quite some time ago to port the reiserfs
xattrs to the generic xattr interface.
This patch replaces the reiserfs-specific xattr handling code with the
generic struct xattr_handler.
However, since reiserfs doesn't split the prefix and name when accessing
xattrs, it can't leverage generic_{set,get,list,remove}xattr without
needlessly reconstructing the name on the back end.

The current reiserfs xattr implementation will not clean up old xattr
files if files are deleted when REISERFS_FS_XATTR is unset. This
results in inaccessible lost files, wasting space.
This patch compiles in basic xattr knowledge, such as how to delete them
and change ownership for quota tracking. If the file system has never
used xattrs, then the operation is quite fast: it returns immediately
when it sees there is no .reiserfs_priv directory.

ReiserFS panics can be somewhat inconsistent.
In some cases:
* a unique identifier may be associated with it
* the function name may be included
* the device may be printed separately
This patch aims to make warnings more consistent. reiserfs_warning() prints
the device name, so printing it a second time is not required. The function
name for a warning is always helpful in debugging, so it is now automatically
inserted into the output. Hans has stated that every warning should have

This patch fixes up the reiserfs code such that transaction ids are
always unsigned ints. In places they can currently be signed ints or
unsigned longs.
The former just causes an annoying clm-2200 warning and may join a
transaction when it should wait.
The latter is just for correctness since the disk format uses a 32-bit
transaction id. There aren't any runtime problems that result from it
not wrapping at the correct location since the value is truncated
correctly even on big endian systems. The 0 value might make it to
disk, but the mount-time checks will bump it to 10 itself.

This was due to a race around adding and removing tx frame skb in

period when pulling skb from fcoe_pending_queue in various contexts
(fcoe_watchdog and fcoe_xmit) and then adding skb back into fcoe_pending_queue
up on a failed fcoe_start_io could change skb/tx frame order in
fcoe_pending_queue. Thanks Chris.
This patch allows only single context to pull skb from fcoe_pending_queue
at any time to prevent above described ordering issue/race by use of
fcoe_pending_queue_active flag.
This patch simplified fcoe_watchdog with modified fcoe_check_wait_queue by
use of FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH instead previously used several conditionals
to clear and set lp->qfull.
I think FCOE_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH with FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH will work better
in re/setting lp->qfull and these could be fine tuned for performance.

If it isn't, we need to fix that.
- mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
- try again with the removal in six months.
It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding

This allows any rport ELS to retry on LS_RJT.

and exchange timeouts. I have a target that will occasionally reject PLOGI
when we do a quick LOGO/PLOGI. When a critical ELS was rejected, libfc would
fail silently leaving the rport in a dead state.
The retry count and delay are managed by fc_rport_error_retry. If the retry
count is exceeded fc_rport_error will be called. When retrying is not the
correct course of action, fc_rport_error can be called directly.

The fcoe_xmit could call fc_pause in case the pending skb queue len is larger
than FCOE_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH, the fc_pause was trying to grab lport->lp_muex to
change lport->link_status and that had these issues :-
1. The fcoe_xmit was getting called with bh disabled, thus causing
"BUG: scheduling while atomic" when grabbing lport->lp_muex with bh disabled.
2. fc_linkup and fc_linkdown function calls lport_enter function with
lport->lp_mutex held and these enter function in turn calls fcoe_xmit to send
lport related FC frame, e.g. fc_linkup => fc_lport_enter_flogi to send flogi
req. In this case grabbing the same lport->lp_mutex again in fc_puase from
fcoe_xmit would cause deadlock.
The lport->lp_mutex was used for setting FC_PAUSE in fcoe_xmit path but
FC_PAUSE bit was not used anywhere beside just setting and clear this
bit in lport->link_status, instead used a separate field qfull in fc_lport
to eliminate need for lport->lp_mutex to track pending queue full condition
and in turn avoid above described two locking issues.
Also added check for lp->qfull in fc_fcp_lport_queue_ready to trigger
SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY when lp->qfull is set to prevent more scsi-ml cmds
while lp->qfull is set.
This patch eliminated FC_LINK_UP and FC_PAUSE and instead used dedicated
fields in fc_lport for this, this simplified all related conditional
code.
Also removed fc_pause and fc_unpause functions and instead used newly added
lport->qfull directly in fcoe.
