c4b929b85b vfs: vfs-level fiemap interface
Basic vfs-level fiemap infrastructure, which sets up a new ->fiemap
inode operation.

Userspace can get extent information on a file via fiemap ioctl. As input,
the fiemap ioctl takes a struct fiemap which includes an array of struct
fiemap_extent (fm_extents). Size of the extent array is passed as
fm_extent_count and number of extents returned will be written into
fm_mapped_extents. Offset and length fields on the fiemap structure
(fm_start, fm_length) describe a logical range which will be searched for
extents. All extents returned will at least partially contain this range.
The actual extent offsets and ranges returned will be unmodified from their
offset and range on-disk.

The fiemap ioctl returns '0' on success. On error, -1 is returned and errno
is set. If errno is equal to EBADR, then fm_flags will contain those flags
which were passed in which the kernel did not understand. On all other
errors, the contents of fm_extents is undefined.

As fiemap evolved, there have been many authors of the vfs patch. As far as
I can tell, the list includes:

aa81a7c712 VFS: factor out three helpers for FIBMAP/FIONBIO/FIOASYNC file ioctls
Factor out file-specific ioctl code into smaller helper functions, away from
file_ioctl().  This helps code readability and also reduces indentation inside
case statements.

deb21db778 VFS: swap do_ioctl and vfs_ioctl names
Rename old vfs_ioctl to do_ioctl, because the comment above it clearly
indicates that it is an internal function not to be exported to modules;
therefore it should have a more traditional do_XXX name.  The new do_ioctl
is exported in fs.h but not to modules.

Rename the old do_ioctl to vfs_ioctl because the names vfs_XXX should
preferably be reserved to callable VFS functions which modules may call, as
many other vfs_XXX functions already do.  Export the new vfs_ioctl to GPL
modules so others can use it (including Unionfs and eCryptfs).  Add DocBook
for new vfs_ioctl.

681dcd9543 drop obsolete sys_ioctl export
sys_ioctl() was only exported for our first version of compat ioctl
handling.  Now that the whole compat ioctl handling mess is more or less
sorted out there are no more modular users left and we can kill it.

There's one exception and that's sparc64's solaris compat module, but
sparc64 has it's own export predating the generic one by years for that
which this patch leaves untouched.

78ae87c3cd vanishing ioctl handler debugging
We've had several reoprts of the CPU jumping to 0x00000000 is do_ioctl().  I
assume that there's a race and someone is zeroing out the ioctl handler while
this CPU waits for the lock_kernel().

The patch adds code to detect this, then emits stuff which will hopefuly lead
us to the culprit.

0f7fc9e4d0 [PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct path
This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having
independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all
users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}.

Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of
the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
