Commit b685d3d65ac7 "block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
synchronous" removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_{FUA|PREFLUSH|...}
definitions.  generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA and
REQ_PREFLUSH flags from a bio when the storage doesn't report volatile
write cache and thus write effectively becomes asynchronous which can
lead to performance regressions

Fix the problem by making sure all bios which are synchronous are
properly marked with REQ_SYNC.

Prepare to mark sensitive kernel structures for randomization by making
sure they're using designated initializers.  These were identified
during allyesconfig builds of x86, arm, and arm64, with most initializer
fixes extracted from grsecurity.

reiserfs_new_inode() clears IMMUTABLE and APPEND flags from a symlink
i_flags however a few lines below in sd_attrs_to_i_attrs() we will
happily overwrite i_flags with whatever we inherited from the directory.
Since this behavior is there for ages just remove the useless setting of
i_flags.

Currently immutable and noatime flags on quota files are set by quota
code which requires us to copy inode-&gt;i_flags to our on disk version of
quota flags in GETFLAGS ioctl and when writing stat item. Move to
setting / clearing these on-disk flags directly to save that copying.

<title>reiserfs: Protect dquot_writeback_dquots() by s_umount semaphore</title>

dquot_writeback_dquots() expects s_umount semaphore to be held to
protect it from other concurrent quota operations. reiserfs_sync_fs()
can call dquot_writeback_dquots() without holding s_umount semaphore
when called from flush_old_commits().

Fix the problem by grabbing s_umount in flush_old_commits(). However we
have to be careful and use only trylock since reiserfs_cancel_old_sync()
can be waiting for flush_old_commits() to complete while holding
s_umount semaphore. Possible postponing of sync work is not a big deal
though as that is only an opportunistic flush.

Currently canceling of delayed work that flushes old data using
cancel_old_flush() does not prevent work from being requeued. Thus
in theory new work can be queued after cancel_old_flush() from
reiserfs_freeze() has run. This will become larger problem once
flush_old_commits() can requeue the work itself.

Fix the problem by recording in sbi-&gt;work_queue that flushing work is
canceled and should not be requeued.

The latest gcc-7.0.1 snapshot warns about an unintialized variable use:

In file included from fs/reiserfs/lbalance.c:8:0:
fs/reiserfs/lbalance.c: In function 'leaf_item_bottle.isra.3':
fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.h:1279:13: error: '*((void *)&amp;n_ih+8).v' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  v2-&gt;v = (v2-&gt;v &amp; cpu_to_le64(15ULL &lt;&lt; 60)) | cpu_to_le64(offset);
           ~~^~~
fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.h:1279:13: error: '*((void *)&amp;n_ih+8).v' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  v2-&gt;v = (v2-&gt;v &amp; cpu_to_le64(15ULL &lt;&lt; 60)) | cpu_to_le64(offset);

This happens because the offset/type pair that is stored in
ih.key.u.k_offset_v2 is actually uninitialized when we call
set_le_ih_k_offset() and set_le_ih_k_type(). After we have called both,
all data is correct, but the first of the two reads uninitialized data
for the type field and writes it back before it gets overwritten.

This works around the warning by initializing the k_offset_v2 through
the slightly larger memcpy().

[JK: Remove now unused define and make it obvious we initialize the key]

branch.

This patch also fixes multiple checkpatch warnings: WARNING: Prefer
'unsigned int' to bare use of 'unsigned'

of macro.
