lookup() and sillyrename() can race one another because the sillyrename()
completion cannot take the parent directory's inode->i_mutex since the
latter may be held by whoever is calling dput().
We therefore have little option but to add extra locking to ensure that
nfs_lookup() and nfs_atomic_open() do not race with the sillyrename
completion.
If somebody has looked up the sillyrenamed file in the meantime, we just
transfer the sillydelete information to the new dentry.

This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by commit
44dd151d5c
We cannot zero the user page in nfs_mark_uptodate() any more, since
a) We'd be modifying the page without holding the page lock
b) We can race with other updates of the page, most notably
because of the call to nfs_wb_page() in nfs_writepage_setup().
Instead, we do the zeroing in nfs_update_request() if we see that we're
creating a request that might potentially be marked as up to date.
Thanks to Olivier Paquet for reporting the bug and providing a test-case.

also for a non-module build - but no harm done by that.

"It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
20-something times. Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.
However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make

This patch adapts IA64 to use the generic parse_crashkernel() function instead
of its own parsing for the crashkernel command line.
Because the total amount of System RAM must be known when calling this
function, efi_memmap_init() is modified to return its accumulated total_memory
variable.
Also, the crashkernel handling is moved in an own function in
arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c to make the code more readable.

This patch adds a extended crashkernel syntax that makes the value of reserved
system RAM dependent on the system RAM itself:
crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset]
range=start-[end]
For example:
crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
The motivation comes from distributors that configure their crashkernel
command line automatically with some configuration tool (YaST, you know ;)).
Of course that tool knows the value of System RAM, but if the user removes
RAM, then the system becomes unbootable or at least unusable and error
handling is very difficult.
This series implements this change for i386, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sh. That
should be all platforms that support kdump in current mainline. I tested all
platforms except sh due to the lack of a sh processor.
This patch:
This is the generic part of the patch. It adds a parse_crashkernel() function
in kernel/kexec.c that is called by the architecture specific code that
actually reserves the memory. That function takes the whole command line and
looks itself for "crashkernel=" in it.
If there are multiple occurrences, then the last one is taken. The advantage
is that if you have a bootloader like lilo or elilo which allows you to append
a command line parameter but not to remove one (like in GRUB), then you can
add another crashkernel value for testing at the boot command line and this
one overwrites the command line in the configuration then.
