inotify: send IN_ATTRIB events when link count changes
Currently, no notification event has been sent when inode's link count
changed. This is inconvenient for the application in some cases:
Suppose you have the following directory structure
foo/test
bar/
and you watch test. If someone does "mv foo/test bar/", you get event
IN_MOVE_SELF and you know something has happened with the file "test".
However if someone does "ln foo/test bar/test" and "rm foo/test" you get no
inotify event for the file "test" (only directories "foo" and "bar" receive
events).
Furthermore it could be argued that link count belongs to file's metadata and
thus IN_ATTRIB should be sent when it changes.
The following patch implements sending of IN_ATTRIB inotify events when link
count of the inode changes, i.e., when a hardlink to the inode is created or
when it is removed. This event is sent in addition to all the events sent so
far. In particular, when a last link to a file is removed, IN_ATTRIB event is
sent in addition to IN_DELETE_SELF event.

smbfs: fix calculation of kernel_recvmsg size parameter in smb_receive()
smb_receive calls kernel_recvmsg with a size that's the minimum of the
amount of buffer space in the kvec passed in or req->rq_rlen (which
represents the length of the response). This does not take into account
any data that was read in a request earlier pass through smb_receive.
If the first pass through smb_receive receives some but not all of the
response, then the next pass can call kernel_recvmsg with a size field
that's too big. kernel_recvmsg can overrun into the next response,
throwing off the alignment and making it unrecognizable.
This causes messages like this to pop up in the ring buffer:
smb_get_length: Invalid NBT packet, code=69
as well as other errors indicating that the response is unrecognizable.
Typically this is seen on a smbfs mount under heavy I/O.
This patch changes the code to use (req->rq_rlen - req->rq_bytes_recvd)
instead instead of just req->rq_rlen, since that should represent the
amount of unread data in the response.
I think this is correct, but an ACK or NACK from someone more familiar
with this code would be appreciated...

also possible to set up uni-directional propagation (with --make-

But ipc_lock may return a errcode. The use of this errcode in

And in xxx_exit_ns, the pointer return by idr_find is of type 'struct

fs/fat/: refine chmod checks
Prohibit mode changes in non-quiet mode that cannot be stored reliably with
the on-disk format.
Suppose a vfat filesystem is mounted with umask=0 and [not-quiet]. Then
all files will have mode 0777. Trying to change the owner will fail,
because fat does not know about owners or groups. chmod 0770, on the other
hand, will succeed, even though fat does not know about the permission
triplet [user/group/other].
So this patch changes fat's not-quiet behavior so that only UNIX modes are
accepted that can be mapped lossless between the fat disk format and the
local system. There is only one attribute, and that is the readonly
attribute, which is mapped to the UNIX write permission bit(s). chmod 0555
is therefore valid (taking away the +w bits <=> setting the readonly
attribute). Since chmod 0775 and chmod 0755 is an ambiguous case as to
whether to set or clear the readonly bit, these modes are also denied.
In quiet mode, chmod and chown will continue to "succeed" as they did
before, meaning that a subsequent stat() will temporarily return the new
mode as long as the inode is not reread from disk, and chown will silently
do nothing, not even return the new uid/gid in stat().
