As found in &lt;http://bugs.debian.org/550010&gt;, hfsplus is using type u32
rather than sector_t for some sector number calculations.

In particular, hfsplus_get_block() does:

        u32 ablock, dblock, mask;
...
        map_bh(bh_result, sb, (dblock &lt;&lt; HFSPLUS_SB(sb).fs_shift) + HFSPLUS_SB(sb).blockoffset + (iblock &amp; mask));

I am not confident that I can find and fix all cases where a sector number
may be truncated.  For now, avoid data loss by refusing to mount HFS+
volumes with more than 2^32 sectors (2TB).

Most call sites of unload_nls() do:
	if (nls)
		unload_nls(nls);

Check the pointer inside unload_nls() like we do in kfree() and
simplify the call sites.

* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
  It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

Push down lock_super into -&gt;write_super instances and remove it from the
caller.

Following filesystem don't need -&gt;s_lock in -&gt;write_super and are skipped:

 * bfs, nilfs2 - no other uses of s_lock and have internal locks in
	-&gt;write_super
 * ext2 - uses BKL in ext2_write_super and has internal calls without s_lock
 * reiserfs - no other uses of s_lock as has reiserfs_write_lock (BKL) in
 	-&gt;write_super
 * xfs - no other uses of s_lock and uses internal lock (buffer lock on
	superblock buffer) to serialize -&gt;write_super.  Also xfs_fs_write_super
	is superflous and will go away in the next merge window

Move BKL into -&gt;put_super from the only caller.  A couple of
filesystems had trivial enough -&gt;put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment.  Most
of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

[AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are
removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()
now]
[AV: fuse, btrfs and xfs are known to need no damn BKL, exempt]

We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if
that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout
in -&gt;put_super, which many filesystems already do.

Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to
guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual
filesystem maintainers.

Exceptions:

 - affs already has identical copy &amp; pasted code at the beginning of
   affs_put_super so no need to do it twice.
 - xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for
   the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts
   here..
