It returns the number of vectors allocated when successful, so check for
a negative error only.

<title>sched/headers: Prepare to remove spurious &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; inclusion dependencies</title>

<content type='text'>
In the following patches we are going to remove various headers
from sched.h and other headers that sched.h includes.

To make those patches build cleanly prepare the scene by adding
dependencies to various files that learned to rely on those
to-be-removed dependencies.

These changes all make sense standalone: they add a header for
a data type that a particular .c or .h file is using.

We don't actually need the full rculist.h header in sched.h anymore,
we will be able to include the smaller rcupdate.h header instead.

But first update code that relied on the implicit header inclusion.

Add #include &lt;linux/cred.h&gt; dependencies to all .c files rely on sched.h
doing that for them.

Note that even if the count where we need to add extra headers seems high,
it's still a net win, because &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; is included in over
2,200 files ...

<title>lib/vsprintf.c: remove %Z support</title>

Now that %z is standartised in C99 there is no reason to support %Z.
Unlike %L it doesn't even make format strings smaller.

Use BUILD_BUG_ON in a couple ATM drivers.

In case anyone didn't notice lib/vsprintf.o is about half of SLUB which
is in my opinion is quite an achievement.  Hopefully this patch inspires
someone else to trim vsprintf.c more.

Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

  comsume||consume
  comsumer||consumer
  comsuming||consuming

I see some variable names with this pattern, but this commit is only
touching comment blocks to avoid unexpected impact.

<title>VMCI: Doorbell create and destroy fixes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:eb94cd68abd9b7c92bf70ddc452d65f1a84c46e2</id>
<content type='text'>
This change consists of two changes:

1) If vmci_doorbell_create is called when neither guest nor
   host personality as been initialized, vmci_get_context_id
   will return VMCI_INVALID_ID. In that case, we should fail
   the create call.
2) In doorbell destroy, we assume that vmci_guest_code_active()
   has the same return value on create and destroy. That may not
   be the case, so we may end up with the wrong refcount.
   Instead, destroy should check explicitly whether the doorbell
   is in the index table as an indicator of whether the guest
   code was active at create time.

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

<id>urn:sha1:09cbfeaf1a5a67bfb3201e0c83c810cecb2efa5a</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.
