Make node look as if it was on hlist, with hlist_del()
working correctly.  Usable without any locking...

Convert a couple of places where we want to do that to
inode-&gt;i_hash.

The BKL is only used in put_super, fill_super and remount_fs that are all
three protected by the superblocks s_umount rw_semaphore. Therefore it is
safe to remove the BKL entirely.

<title>BKL: Explicitly add BKL around get_sb/fill_super</title>

<id>db71922217a214e5c9268448e537b54fc1f301ea</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.

I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
any more.

do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
fill_super function.

Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.

[arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
       don't use it elsewhere]

<title>jfs: don't allow os2 xattr namespace overlap with others</title>

<content type='text'>
It's currently possible to bypass xattr namespace access rules by
prefixing valid xattr names with "os2.", since the os2 namespace stores
extended attributes in a legacy format with no prefix.

This patch adds checking to deny access to any valid namespace prefix
following "os2.".
