This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users.  The
fb_mmap() case is a good example because it is a bit more complicated
than some: fb_mmap() mmaps one of two different memory areas depending
on the page offset of the mmap (but happily there is never any mixing of
the two, so the helper function still works).

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
 "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing -&gt;d_name/-&gt;d_parent
  locking violations, etc.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has -&gt;d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

  fs: change return values from -EACCES to -EPERM
  fs/exec.c: make bprm_mm_init() static
  ocfs2/dlm: use GFP_ATOMIC inside a spin_lock

<title>fbcon: fix locking harder</title>

Okay so Alan's patch handled the case where there was no registered fbcon,
however the other path entered in set_con2fb_map pit.

In there we called fbcon_takeover, but we also took the console lock in a couple
of places. So push the console lock out to the callers of set_con2fb_map,

this means fbmem and switcheroo needed to take the lock around the fb notifier
entry points that lead to this.

This should fix the efifb regression seen by Maarten.

I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that
yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for
unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver().  After this hack, lockdep
warnings are finally gone.

Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller
already holds the locks.  Make the fb layer lock in order.

This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the
locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.

<title>mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm-&gt;reserved_vm counter</title>

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

<content type='text'>
The USB graphics card driver delays the unregistering of the framebuffer
device to a workqueue, which breaks the userspace visible remove uevent
sequence. Recent userspace tools started to support USB graphics card
hotplug out-of-the-box and rely on proper events sent by the kernel.

The framebuffer device is a direct child of the USB interface which is
removed immediately after the USB .disconnect() callback. But the fb device
in /sys stays around until its final cleanup, at a time where all the parent
devices have been removed already.

To work around that, we remove the sysfs fb device directly in the USB
.disconnect() callback and leave only the cleanup of the internal fb
data to the delayed work.

Before:
 add      /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2 (usb)
 add      /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.0 (usb)

The USB graphics card driver delays the unregistering of the framebuffer
device to a workqueue, which breaks the userspace visible remove uevent
sequence. Recent userspace tools started to support USB graphics card
hotplug out-of-the-box and rely on proper events sent by the kernel.

The framebuffer device is a direct child of the USB interface which is
removed immediately after the USB .disconnect() callback. But the fb device
in /sys stays around until its final cleanup, at a time where all the parent
devices have been removed already.

To work around that, we remove the sysfs fb device directly in the USB
.disconnect() callback and leave only the cleanup of the internal fb

This API will be used to support YUV frame buffer formats in a standard
way.

Last but not least, create a much needed fbdev API documentation and
document the format setting APIs.
