Since storage_common.c no longer references mod_data object
it is now possible to include it before mod_data object is
defined. This makes it possible to move some defines that
are used as default values of mod_data fields to be defined
in storage_common.c file (where they should be set from
the beginning).
Also, show_ro(), show_file(), store_ro() and store_file()
have been moved to storage_common.c with LUN's device's
drvdata changed from pointing to fsg_dev to pointing to
rw_semaphore (&fsg->filesem).

removable and cdrom flag has been added to the fsg_lun structure
removing any references to mod_data object from storage_common.c.
As of read-only flag, previously it was set if a read-only
backing file was specified (which is good) and remained set
even after the file has been closed (which may be considered an
issue). Currently, the initial read-only flag is preserved so
if it was unset each time file is opened code will try to open
it read-write even if previous file was opened read-only.

While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC
patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
vfs_fsync_range and when not.
This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.
This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and
network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for
lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.
We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
to make sure we always get these sane options.
Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for
the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

This patch (as1231) fixes a use-after-free bug in g_file_storage. A
device's name may not be available after the device is unregistered,
even if the device structure itself is still allocated. Since
close_backing_file() prints a LUN's name for debugging, it shouldn't
be called after the LUN has been unregistered.
That whole area needed to be cleaned up; the backing files were
getting closed in a couple of different places. The patch fixes
things so that they get closed in just one place, as part of the
unbind procedure, immediately before the LUN is unregistered.

Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call,
and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex. All callers of fsync have
to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get
it right. This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this.
It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file
pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we
want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there.
Notes on the fsync callers:
- ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the
lower file
- coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host
file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing
- shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor
taking i_mutex. Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk
backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of
the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just
not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op
simple_sync_file directly.
[and now actually export vfs_fsync]

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Remove usb_ep_{alloc,free}_buffer() calls, for small dma-coherent buffers.
This patch just removes the interface and its users; later patches will
remove controller driver support.
- This interface is invariably not implemented correctly in the
controller drivers (e.g. using dma pools, a mechanism which
post-dates the interface by several years).
- At this point no gadget driver really *needs* to use it. In
current kernels, any driver that needs such a mechanism could
allocate a dma pool themselves.
Removing this interface is thus a simplification and improvement.
Note that the gmidi.c driver had a bug in this area; fixed.

Recent section changes broke gadget builds on some platforms. This patch
is the best fix that's available until better section markings exist:
- There's a lot of cleanup code that gets used in both init and exit paths;
stop marking it as "__exit".
(Best fix for this would be an "__init_or_exit" section marking, putting
the cleanup in __init when __exit sections get discarded else in __exit.)
- Stop marking the use-once probe routines as "__init" since references
to those routines are not allowed from driver structures. They're now
marked "__devinit", which in practice is a net lose.
(Best fix for this is likely to separate such use-once probe routines
from the driver structure ... but in general, all busses that aren't
hotpluggable will be forced to waste memory for all probe-only code.)
In general these broken section rules waste an average of two to four kBytes
per driver of code bloat ... because none of the relevant code can ever be
reused after module initialization.

A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.
Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
by using WRITE_SYNC instead.
