<title>affs: fix basic permission bits to actually work</title>

<content type='text'>
The basic permission bits (protection bits in AmigaOS) have been broken
in Linux' AFFS - it would only set bits, but never delete them.
Also, contrary to the documentation, the Archived bit was not handled.

Let's fix this for good, and set the bits such that Linux and classic
AmigaOS can coexist in the most peaceful manner.

Also, update the documentation to represent the current state of things.

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

<title>affs: fix a memory leak in affs_remount</title>

<id>450c3d4166837c496ebce03650c08800991f2150</id>
<content type='text'>
In affs_remount if data is provided it is duplicated into new_opts.  The
allocated memory for new_opts is only released if parse_options fails.

There's a bit of history behind new_options, originally there was
save/replace options on the VFS layer so the 'data' passed must not
change (thus strdup), this got cleaned up in later patches. But not
completely.

There's no reason to do the strdup in cases where the filesystem does
not need to reuse the 'data' again, because strsep would modify it
directly.

<title>affs: Replace binary semaphores with mutexes</title>

<id>6060c07d476ebb1f21d28db5ba852e911246ce79</id>
<content type='text'>
At a slight footprint cost (24 vs 32 bytes), mutexes are more optimal
than semaphores; it's also a nicer interface for mutual exclusion,
which is why they are encouraged over binary semaphores, when possible.

For both i_link_lock and i_ext_lock (and hence i_hash_lock which I
annotated for the hash lock mapping hackery for lockdep), their semantics
imply traditional lock ownership; that is, the lock owner is the same for
both lock/unlock operations and does not run in irq context. Therefore
it is safe to convert.

outside the permitted range.

Also fix timestamp calculation to avoid overflow

Pull Wimplicit-fallthrough updates from Gustavo A. R. Silva:
 "Mark switch cases where we are expecting to fall through.

  This is part of the ongoing efforts to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough.

  Most of them have been baking in linux-next for a whole development
  cycle. And with Stephen Rothwell's help, we've had linux-next
  nag-emails going out for newly introduced code that triggers
  -Wimplicit-fallthrough to avoid gaining more of these cases while we
  work to remove the ones that are already present.

  We are getting close to completing this work. Currently, there are
  only 32 of 2311 of these cases left to be addressed in linux-next. I'm
  auditing every case; I take a look into the code and analyze it in
  order to determine if I'm dealing with an actual bug or a false
  positive, as explained here:

      https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/c2fad584-1705-a5f2-d63c-824e9b96cf50@embeddedor.com/

  While working on this, I've found and fixed the several missing
  break/return bugs, some of them introduced more than 5 years ago.

  Once this work is finished, we'll be able to universally enable
  "-Wimplicit-fallthrough" to avoid any of these kinds of bugs from
  entering the kernel again"
