To prepare for a direct I/O write, we need to split the unwritten
extents before submitting the I/O. When no extents needed to be
split, ext4_split_unwritten_extents() was incorrectly returning 0
instead of the size of uninitialized extents. This bug caused the
wrong return value sent back to VFS code when it gets called from
async IO path, leading to an unnecessary fall back to buffered IO.
This bug also hid the fact that the check to see whether or not a
split would be necessary was incorrect; we can only skip splitting the
extent if the write completely covers the uninitialized extent.

Vitezslav Samel discovered that since 2.6.30.4+ active FTP can not work
over NAT. The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data
detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e36).
However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack:
when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of
the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with
changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter
(td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift
away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP.
The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters
from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a
consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because
it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)

The dwarf unwinder presently attempts to provide a sane PC value if none
is provided, however the logic is broken and cases where a previous valid
dwarf frame exists along with a bogus PC value can still proceed. This
fixes up the test and prevents the unwinder from blowing up.

This value is visible through sysfs and is used by mdadm
when it manages a reshape (backing up data that is about to be
rearranged). So it is important that it is always correct.
Current it does not get updated properly when a reshape
starts which can cause problems when assembling an array
that is in the middle of being reshaped.
This is suitable for 2.6.31.y stable kernels.

If a 'sync_max' has been set (via sysfs), it is wrong to clear it
until a resync (or reshape or recovery ...) actually reached that
point.
So if a resync is interrupted (e.g. by device failure),
leave 'resync_max' unchanged.
This is particularly important for 'reshape' operations that do not
change the size of the array. For such operations mdadm needs to
monitor the reshape taking rolling backups of the section being
reshaped. If resync_max gets cleared, the reshape can get ahead of
mdadm and then the backups that mdadm creates are useless.
This is suitable for 2.6.31.y stable kernels.

The current implementation of get_user_desc() sign extends the return
value because of integer promotion rules. For the most part, this
doesn't matter, because the top bit of base2 is usually 0. If, however,
that bit is 1, then the entire value will be 0xffff... which is
probably not what the caller intended.
This patch casts the entire thing to unsigned before returning, which
generates almost the same assembly as the current code but replaces the
final "cltq" (sign extend) with a "mov %eax %eax" (zero-extend). This
fixes booting certain guests under KVM.
