Andrew Morton 8d3b35914a [PATCH] inotify/idr leak fix
Fix a bug which was reported and diagnosed by
Stefan Jones <stefan.jones@churchillrandoms.co.uk>

IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects.  There's no way to destroy
this cache, so when we discard an overall idr tree we end up leaking some
memory.

Add and use idr_destroy() for this.  v9fs and infiniband also need to use
idr_destroy() to avoid leaks.

Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload().  Which is probably
better.  Later.

John McCutchan 7c657f2f25 [PATCH] Document idr_get_new_above() semantics, update inotify
There is an off by one problem with idr_get_new_above.

The comment and function name suggest that it will return an id >
starting_id, but it actually returned an id >= starting_id, and kernel
callers other than inotify treated it as such.

The patch below fixes the comment, and fixes inotifys usage.  The
function name still doesn't match the behaviour, but it never did.

Zaur Kambarov 589777eab7 [PATCH] coverity: idr_get_new_above_int() overrun fix
This patch fixes overrun of array pa:
92   		struct idr_layer *pa[MAX_LEVEL];

in

98   		l = idp->layers;
99   		pa[l--] = NULL;

by passing idp->layers, set in
202  		idp->layers = layers;
to function  sub_alloc in
203  		v = sub_alloc(idp, ptr, &id);

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
