The meaning of MS_VERBOSE is backwards; if the bit is set, it really means,
"don't be verbose". This is confusing and counter-intuitive.
In addition, there is also no way to set the MS_VERBOSE flag in the
mount(8) program in util-linux, but interesting, it does define options
which would do the right thing if MS_SILENT were defined, which
unfortunately we do not:
#ifdef MS_SILENT
{ "quiet", 0, 0, MS_SILENT }, /* be quiet */
{ "loud", 0, 1, MS_SILENT }, /* print out messages. */
#endif
So the obvious fix is to deprecate the use of MS_VERBOSE and replace it
with MS_SILENT.

This change reverts the 033b96fd30 commit
from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel.
Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a
new device has been mounted. These events are not correctly emitted,
and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any
future program. Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to
properly detect this kind of event.
A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this
interface will be removed from the kernel.

We had a user trigger this message on a box that had a lot of different
mounts, all with different options. It might help narrow down wtf happened
if we print out which device failed.

The names of these events have been confusing from the beginning
on, as they have been more like claim/release events. We needed these
events for noticing HAL if storage devices have been mounted.
Thanks to Al, we have the proper solution now and can poll()
/proc/mounts instead to get notfied about mount tree changes.

The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might
keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn
them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) and
a) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off)
b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota off
Moreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics.
The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of
reference to vfsmount. Semantics:
- when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are
converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done.
- normal reference can be cloned into a special one
- special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if
we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e. mntput() had
converted special references to normal and started cleanup).
The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount
reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back
to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no
normal references are left. That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2)
and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to
vfsmount is gone. Which is exactly what we want...
The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal
references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should
make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly
when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone.
quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so
there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all. DQUOT_OFF() is done from
deactivate_super(), where it really belongs.

Now that RCU applied on 'struct file' seems stable, we can place f_rcuhead
in a memory location that is not anymore used at call_rcu(&f->f_rcuhead,
file_free_rcu) time, to reduce the size of this critical kernel object.
The trick I used is to move f_rcuhead and f_list in an union called f_u
The callers are changed so that f_rcuhead becomes f_u.fu_rcuhead and f_list
becomes f_u.f_list

This patch sets ->mnt_namespace where it's actually added to the
namespace.
Previously mnt_namespace was set in do_kern_mount() even if the filesystem
was never added to any process's namespace (most kernel-internal
filesystems).
This discrepancy doesn't actually cause any problems, but it's cleaner if
mnt_namespace is NULL for these non exported filesystems.

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!
