54b21a7992 [PATCH] fix possible PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT overflows
We've had two instances recently of overflows when doing

	64_bit_value = (32_bit_value << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT)

I did a tree-wide grep of `<<.*PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT' and this is the result.

- afs_rxfs_fetch_descriptor.offset is of type off_t, which seems broken.

- jfs and jffs are limited to 4GB anyway.

- reiserfs map_block_for_writepage() takes an unsigned long for the block -
  it should take sector_t.  (It'll fail for huge filesystems with
  blocksize<PAGE_CACHE_SIZE)

- cramfs_read() needs to use sector_t (I think cramsfs is busted on large
  filesystems anyway)

- affs is limited in file size anyway.

- I generally didn't fix 32-bit overflows in directory operations.

- arm's __flush_dcache_page() is peculiar.  What if the page lies beyond 4G?

- gss_wrap_req_priv() needs checking (snd_buf->page_base)

28fd129827 [PATCH] Fix and add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait)
This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.

See mm/filemap.c:

And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().

Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
returns error.  However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)

<quotation>
Andrew Morton writes,

If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc.  Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.
</quotation>

So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.

Trond, could you please review the nfs part?  Especially I'm not sure,
nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.

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!
