commit 57b9655d01ef057a523e810d29c37ac09b80eead upstream.

When a partition table length is corrupted to be close to 1 &lt;&lt; 32, the
check for its length may overflow on 32-bit systems and we will think
the length is valid. Later on the kernel can crash trying to read beyond
end of buffer. Fix the check to avoid possible overflow.

pass inode + parent's inode or NULL instead of dentry + bool saying
whether we want the parent or not.

NOTE: that needs ceph fix folded in.

<title>vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry</title>

This allows comparing hash and len in one operation on 64-bit
architectures.  Right now only __d_lookup_rcu() takes advantage of this,
since that is the case we care most about.

The use of anonymous struct/unions hides the alternate 64-bit approach
from most users, the exception being a few cases where we initialize a
'struct qstr' with a static initializer.  This makes the problematic
cases use a new QSTR_INIT() helper function for that (but initializing
just the name pointer with a "{ .name = xyzzy }" initializer remains
valid, as does just copying another qstr structure).

After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense
to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode()
which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag.
