<content type='text'>
Dozen of changes in ncpfs to provide some locking other than BKL.

In readdir cache unlock and mark complete first page as last operation,
so it can be used for synchronization, as code intended.

When updating dentry name on case insensitive filesystems do at least
some basic locking...

Hold i_mutex when updating inode fields.

Push some ncp_conn_is_valid down to ncp_request.  Connection can become
invalid at any moment, and fewer error code paths to test the better.

Use i_size_{read,write} to modify file size.

Set inode's backing_dev_info as ncpfs has its own special bdi.

In ioctl unbreak ioctls invoked on filesystem mounted 'ro' - tests are
for inode writeable or owner match, but were turned to filesystem
writeable and inode writeable or owner match.  Also collect all permission
checks in single place.

Add some locking, and remove comments saying that it would be cool to
add some locks to the code.

Constify some pointers.

It is always "an" if there is a vowel _spoken_ (not written).
So it is:
"an hour" (spoken vowel)
but
"a uniform" (spoken 'j')

<title>Remove the last few UMSDOS leftovers</title>

<content type='text'>
The UMSDOS filesystem was removed back in 2.6.11, but some tiny bits stuck
around.  This patch removes the few remaining leftovers.  The only things
left behind after this are the entries in the CREDITS file and the ioctl
number in Documentation/ioctl-number.txt as documentation.

This third (hopefully final) version of the patch doesn't edit the
arch/um/config.release file, since Jeff Dike pointed out to me that it
should die completely, and asked me to remove it from my patch as he'll
send in a seperate patch removing the file completely.

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

The ncp specific compat ioctls are clearly local to one file system, so the
code can better live there.

This version of the patch moves everything into the generic ioctl handler
and uses it for both 32 and 64 bit calls.
