2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>

commit 54566b2c1594c2326a645a3551f9d989f7ba3c5e upstream.

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.

The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.

Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).

This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).
