Somebody had put struct nameidata in stack frame of link_path_walk().
Unfortunately, there are certain realities to deal with:
* It's in the middle of recursion. Depth is equal to the nesting
depth of symlinks, i.e. up to 8.
* struct namiedata is, even if one discards the intent junk,
at least 12 pointers + 5 ints.
* moreover, adding a stack frame is not free in that situation.
* there are fs methods called on top of that, and they also have
stack footprint.
* kernel stack is not infinite.
The thing is, even if one chooses to deal with -ESTALE that way (and it's
one hell of an overkill), the only thing that needs to be preserved is
vfsmount + dentry, not the entire struct nameidata.

Some new uses of get_empty_filp() have crept in; switched
to alloc_file() to make sure that pieces of initialization
won't be missing.

Make sure no-one calls dentry_open with a NULL vfsmount argument and crap
out with a stacktrace otherwise. A NULL file->f_vfsmnt has always been
problematic, but with the per-mount r/o tracking we can't accept anymore
at all.

After several posts and bug reports regarding interaction with the NULL
nameidata, here's a patch to clean up the mess with struct file in the
reiserfs xattr code.
As observed in several of the posts, there's really no need for struct file
to exist in the xattr code. It was really only passed around due to the
f_op->readdir() and a_ops->{prepare,commit}_write prototypes requiring it.
reiserfs_prepare_write() and reiserfs_commit_write() don't actually use the
struct file passed to it, and the xattr code uses a private version of
reiserfs_readdir() to enumerate the xattr directories.

* hppfs_iget() and its users are racy; there's no need to pollute icache
anyway, new_inode() works fine and is safe, unlike the current kludges
(these relied on overwriting ->i_ino before another iget_locked() gets
to that one - and did it after unlocking).
* merge hppfs_iget()/init_inode()/hppfs_read_inode(), while we are
at it.
* to pass proper vfsmount to dentry_open() store the reference
in hppfs superblock.

Here's patch for hppfs that uses vfs_kern_mount to make sure it always has a
procfs instance and passed the vfsmount on through the inode private data.
Also fixes a procfs file_system_type leak for every attempted hppfs mount.

Now that we handle all the special commands using REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE
rather than using the old REQ_TYPE_ATA_CMD model, we need to also
emulate the lack of full taskfile data that comes with the old command
model (ie when commands are generated with the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl
rather than using the HDIO_DRIVE_TASK[FILE] ioctls).
In particular, this means that we should handle command completion the
more relaxed way that the old drive_cmd_intr() code did. It allows
commands to finish early even if they don't use up all the data that we
thought we had for them.
This fixes a regression seen by Anders Eriksson where some SMART
commands sent by smartd would cause a boot-time system hang on his
machine because the IDE command handling code didn't realize that the
command had completed.

improve affine wakeups. Maintain the 'overlap' metric based on CFS's
sum_exec_runtime - which means the amount of time a task executes
after it wakes up some other task.
Use the 'overlap' for the wakeup decisions: if the 'overlap' is short,
it means there's strong workload coupling between this task and the
woken up task. If the 'overlap' is large then the workload is decoupled
and the scheduler will move them to separate CPUs more easily.
( Also slightly move the preempt_check within try_to_wake_up() - this has
no effect on functionality but allows 'early wakeups' (for still-on-rq
tasks) to be correctly accounted as well.)

too. Otherwise this will freeze the system hard.
