<title>remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses</title>

Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.

This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.

Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err &lt; 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.

I was using this definition for testing:

 #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL &amp;&amp; \
       unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) &gt;= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))

which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.

I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

[ Updated the 9p parts as per Al Viro  - Linus ]

Pull Ceph updates from Sage Weil:
 "This changeset has a few main parts:

   - Ilya has finished a huge refactoring effort to sync up the
     client-side logic in libceph with the user-space client code, which
     has evolved significantly over the last couple years, with lots of
     additional behaviors (e.g., how requests are handled when cluster
     is full and transitions from full to non-full).

     This structure of the code is more closely aligned with userspace
     now such that it will be much easier to maintain going forward when
     behavior changes take place.  There are some locking improvements
     bundled in as well.

   - Zheng adds multi-filesystem support (multiple namespaces within the
     same Ceph cluster)

   - Zheng has changed the readdir offsets and directory enumeration so
     that dentry offsets are hash-based and therefore stable across
     directory fragmentation events on the MDS.

   - Zheng has a smorgasbord of bug fixes across fs/ceph"

Ceph_osdc_wait_request() is used when cephfs issues sync IO. In most
cases, the sync IO should be uninterruptible. The fix is use killale

<content type='text'>
For map check, we are going to need to send CEPH_MSG_MON_GET_VERSION
messages asynchronously and get a callback on completion.  Refactor MON
client to allow firing off generic requests asynchronously and add an
async variant of ceph_monc_get_version().  ceph_monc_do_statfs() is
switched over and remains sync.

For map check, we are going to need to send CEPH_MSG_MON_GET_VERSION
messages asynchronously and get a callback on completion.  Refactor MON
client to allow firing off generic requests asynchronously and add an
async variant of ceph_monc_get_version().  ceph_monc_do_statfs() is
switched over and remains sync.
