<title>LSM: hide struct security_mnt_opts from any generic code</title>

Keep void * instead, allocate on demand (in parse_str_opts, at the
moment).  Eventually both selinux and smack will be better off
with private structures with several strings in those, rather than
this "counter and two pointers to dynamically allocated arrays"
ugliness.  This commit allows to do that at leisure, without
disrupting anything outside of given module.

Changes:
	* instead of struct security_mnt_opt use an opaque pointer
initialized to NULL.
	* security_sb_eat_lsm_opts(), security_sb_parse_opts_str() and
security_free_mnt_opts() take it as var argument (i.e. as void **);
call sites are unchanged.
	* security_sb_set_mnt_opts() and security_sb_remount() take
it by value (i.e. as void *).
	* new method: -&gt;sb_free_mnt_opts().  Takes void *, does
whatever freeing that needs to be done.
	* -&gt;sb_set_mnt_opts() and -&gt;sb_remount() might get NULL as
mnt_opts argument, meaning "empty".

Only the mount namespace code that implements mount(2) should be using the
MS_* flags.  Suppress them inside the kernel unless uapi/linux/mount.h is

Add the infrastructure to attach a mark to a super_block struct
and detach all attached marks when super block is destroyed.

This is going to be used by fanotify backend to setup super block
marks.

  The new IDA API is similar to ida_simple_get() but better named.  The

  preallocation nonsense.

  I hope the net -200 lines of code is convincing"

<title>mm: add SHRINK_EMPTY shrinker methods return value</title>

<id>9b996468cfdba09f688f52dba4287de596194613</id>
<content type='text'>
We need to distinguish the situations when shrinker has very small
amount of objects (see vfs_pressure_ratio() called from
super_cache_count()), and when it has no objects at all.  Currently, in
the both of these cases, shrinker::count_objects() returns 0.

The patch introduces new SHRINK_EMPTY return value, which will be used
for "no objects at all" case.  It's is a refactoring mostly, as
SHRINK_EMPTY is replaced by 0 by all callers of do_shrink_slab() in this
patch, and all the magic will happen in further.
