I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device
based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs).
The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems.
Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser
privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility).
Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing.
This patch adds a 'fuseblk' filesystem type, which is only different from the
'fuse' filesystem type in how the 'dev_name' mount argument is interpreted.

check_partition() stops its probe once it hits an I/O error from the
partition checkers. This would prevent the actual partition checker
getting a chance to verify the partition.
So this patch lets check_partition() continue probing untill it hits a
success while recording the I/O error which might have been reported by the
checking routines.
Also, it does some cleanup of the partition methods for ibm, atari and
amiga to return -1 upon hitting an I/O error.

The current rescan_partition implementation ignores the errors that comes from
the lower layer. It reports success for unknown partitions as well as I/O
error cases while reading the partition information.
The unknown partition is not (and will not be) considered as an error in the
kernel, since there are legal users of it (e.g, members of a RAID5 MD Device
or a new disk which is not partitioned at all ). Changing this behaviour
would scare the user about a serious problem with their disk and is not
recommended. Thus for both "unknown partitions" to the Linux (eg., DEC
VMS,Novell Netware) and the legal users of NULL partition, would still be
reported as "SUCCESS".
The patch attached here, scares the user about something which he does need to
worry about. i.e, returning -EIO on disk I/O errors while reading the
partition information.

Currently a user process cannot rise its own oom_adj value (i.e.
unprotecting itself from the OOM killer). As this value is stored in the
task structure it gets inherited and the unprivileged childs will be unable
to rise it.
The EPERM will be handled by the generic proc fs layer, as only processes
with the proper caps or the owner of the process will be able to write to
the file. So we allow only the processes with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to lower
the value, otherwise it will get an EACCES which seems more appropriate
than EPERM.

When 0 is passed into nodeid2nodeinfo the function does not try to allocate a
new structure at all. it's an indication that the caller only wants the nodeinfo
struct for that nodeid if there actually is one in existance.
I've tidied the function itself so it's more obvious, (and tidier!)

It's just an optimisation to allow the caller to schedule if there is no work
to do. if something arrives immediately afterwards then it will get picked up
when the process re-awakes (and it will be woken by that arrival).
The 'accepting' atomic has gone completely. as Andrew pointed out it didn't
really achieve much anyway. I suspect it was a plaster over some other
startup or shutdown bug to be honest.

This is a bit better than the previous version of gfs2_fsync()
although it would be better still if we were able to call a
function which only wrote the inode & metadata. Its no big deal
though that this will potentially write the data as well since
the VFS has already done that before calling gfs2_fsync(). I've
also added a comment to explain whats going on here.

We will want to allow nfs_writepage() to distinguish between pages that

In the former case, the entire page will want to be written out, and so any
requests that were pending need to be flushed out first.

We must always call ->read_done() before we truncate the page data, or
decide to flag an error. The reasons are that
in NFSv2, ->read_done() is where the eof flag gets set.
in NFSv3/v4 ->read_done() handles EJUKEBOX-type errors, and
v4 state recovery.
However, we need to mark the pages as uptodate before we deal with short
read errors, since we may need to modify the nfs_read_data arguments.
We therefore split the current nfs_readpage_result() into two parts:
nfs_readpage_result(), which calls ->read_done() etc, and
nfs_readpage_retry(), which subsequently handles short reads.
Note: Removing the code that retries in case of a short read also fixes a
bug in nfs_direct_read_result(), which used to return a corrupted number of
bytes.

When trying to open a file with the O_EXCL flag over NFS on a server that does

be fixed, or rpc_call_sync should be fixed to return the NFS error.
