smack -&gt;d_instantiate() uses -&gt;setxattr(), so to be able to call it before
we'd hashed the new dentry and attached it to inode, we need -&gt;setxattr()
instances getting the inode as an explicit argument rather than obtaining
it from dentry.

Similar change for -&gt;getxattr() had been done in commit ce23e64.  Unlike
-&gt;getxattr() (which is used by both selinux and smack instances of
-&gt;d_instantiate()) -&gt;setxattr() is used only by smack one and unfortunately
it got missed back then.

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

<id>09cbfeaf1a5a67bfb3201e0c83c810cecb2efa5a</id>
<content type='text'>
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

<title>eCryptfs: Avoid unnecessary disk read and data decryption during writing</title>

ecryptfs_write_begin grabs a page from page cache for writing.
If the page contains invalid data, or data older than the
counterpart on the disk, eCryptfs will read out the
corresponing data from the disk into the page, decrypt them,
then perform writing. However, for this page, if the length
of the data to be written into is equal to page size,
that means the whole page of data will be overwritten,
in which case, it does not matter whatever the data were before,
it is beneficial to perform writing directly rather than bothering
to read and decrypt first.

With this optimization, according to our test on a machine with
Intel Core 2 Duo processor, iozone 'write' operation on an existing
file with write size being multiple of page size will enjoy a steady
3x speedup.
