If ocfs2_live_connection_list is empty, ocfs2_connection_find() will return
a pointer to the LIST_HEAD, cast as a ocfs2_live_connection. This can cause
an oops when ocfs2_control_send_down() dereferences c->oc_conn:

Commit 1c66b360fe262 (Change some lock status member in ocfs2_lock_res
to char.) states that these fields need to be signed due to comparision
to -1, but only changed the type from unsigned char to char. However, it
is a compiler option if char is a signed or unsigned type. Change these
fields to signed char so the code will work with all compilers.

I suddenly hit the problem during 2.6.37-rc1 regression test, which was
introduced by commit '5e98d492406818e6a94c0ba54c61f59d40cefa4a'(Track
negative entries v3), following scenario reproduces the issue easily:
Node A Node B
================ ============
$touch testfile
$ls testfile
$rm -rf testfile
$touch testfile
$ls testfile
ls: cannot access testfile: No such file or directory
This patch stops tracking the dentry which was negativated by a inode deletion,
so as to force the revaliation in next lookup, in case we'll touch the inode
again in the same node.
It didn't hurt the performance of multiple lookup for none-existed files anyway,
while regresses a bit in the first try after a file deletion.

Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves. For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

O_DIRECT writes.
Currently, the default behavior of O_DIRECT writes was allowing
concurrent writing among nodes to the same file, with no cluster
coherency guaranteed (no EX lock held). This can leave stale data in
the cache for buffered reads on other nodes.
The new mount option introduce a chance to choose two different
behaviors for O_DIRECT writes:
* coherency=full, as the default value, will disallow
concurrent O_DIRECT writes by taking
EX locks.
* coherency=buffered, allow concurrent O_DIRECT writes
without EX lock among nodes, which
gains high performance at risk of
getting stale data on other nodes.

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]

ocfs2 fast symlinks are NUL terminated strings stored inline in the
inode data area. However, disk corruption or a local attacker could, in
theory, remove that NUL. Because we're using strlen() (my fault,
introduced in a731d1 when removing vfs_follow_link()), we could walk off
the end of that string.
