Some file systems with their own internal locking have problems with the
way that nfsd calls the ->lookup() method from within a filldir function
called from their ->readdir() method. The recursion back into the file
system code can cause deadlock.

XFS has a fairly hackish solution to this which involves doing the
readdir() into a locally-allocated buffer, then going back through it
calling the filldir function afterwards. It's not ideal, but it works.

It's particularly suboptimal because XFS does this for local file
systems too, where it's completely unnecessary.

Copy this hack into the NFS code where it can be used only for NFS
export. In response to feedback, use it unconditionally rather than only
for the affected file systems.

Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

The calling conventions of d_alloc_anon are rather unfortunate for all
users, and it's name is not very descriptive either.

Add d_obtain_alias as a new exported helper that drops the inode
reference in the failure case, too and allows to pass-through NULL
pointers and inodes to allow for tail-calls in the export operations.

Incidentally this helper already existed as a private function in
libfs.c as exportfs_d_alloc so kill that one and switch the callers
to d_obtain_alias.

 ("timers: fix itimer/

have disappeared from underneath us.

go into shmem.c, but why not support DRM-GEM when !CONFIG_SHMEM too?
But caution says still depend on MMU, since !CONFIG_MMU is.. different.

This gets rid of an annoying warning in ehci-hcd.c when DEBUG isn't
enabled:

    warning: label 'err_debug' defined but not used

by moving it inside the already-existing #ifdef DEBUG, so that it
matches the goto.  And now my regular build is warning-free again.

Yes, this will probably be switched over to a cleaner model anyway, but
in the meantime I don't want to see the 'unused variable' warnings that
come from the disgusting #ifdef code.  Make the special case be a nice
inlien function of its own, clean up the code, and make the warning go
away.

I wish people didn't write code that gets (valid) warnings from the
compiler, but I'll limit my fixes to code that I actually care about (in
this case just because I see the warning and it annoys me).

This merges branches irq/genirq, irq/sparseirq-v4, timers/hpet-percpu
and x86/uv.

The sparseirq branch is just preliminary groundwork: no sparse IRQs are
actually implemented by this tree anymore - just the new APIs are added
while keeping the old way intact as well (the new APIs map 1:1 to
irq_desc[]).  The 'real' sparse IRQ support will then be a relatively
small patch ontop of this - with a v2.6.29 merge target.
