[IPV4]: rt_cache_stat can be statically defined
Using __get_cpu_var(obj) is slightly faster than per_cpu_ptr(obj,
raw_smp_processor_id()).
1) Smaller code and memory use
For static and small objects, DEFINE_PER_CPU(type, object) is preferred over a
alloc_percpu() : Better and smaller code to access them, and no extra memory
(storing the pointer, and the percpu array of pointers)
x86_64 code before patch
mov 1237577(%rip),%rax # ffffffff803e5990 <rt_cache_stat>
not %rax # part of per_cpu machinery
mov %gs:0x3c,%edx # get cpu number
movslq %edx,%rdx # extend 32 bits cpu number to 64 bits
mov (%rax,%rdx,8),%rax # get the pointer for this cpu
incl 0x38(%rax)
x86_64 code after patch
mov $per_cpu__rt_cache_stat,%rdx
mov %gs:0x48,%rax # get percpu data offset
incl 0x38(%rax,%rdx,1)
2) False sharing avoidance for SMP :
For a small NR_CPUS, the array of per cpu pointers allocated in alloc_percpu()
can be <= 32 bytes. This let slab code gives a part of a cache line. If the
other part of this 64 bytes (or 128 bytes) cache line is used by a mostly
written object, we can have false sharing and expensive per_cpu_ptr() operations.
Size of rt_cache_stat is 64 bytes, so this patch is not a danger of a too big
increase of bss (in UP mode) or static per_cpu data for SMP
(PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM is currently 32768 bytes)

Fix race in setting bitfields of fuse_conn. Spotted by Andrew Morton.
The two fields ->connected and ->mounted were always changed with the

without the lock. In theory this could lead to losing the assignment of
even the ones under lock. The chosen solution is to change these two
fields to be a full unsigned type. The other bitfields aren't "important"
enough to warrant the extra complexity of full locking or changing them to
bitops.
For all bitfields document why they are safe wrt. concurrent
assignments.

With the introduction of asynchronous reads, the ability to interrupt any

deadlock all threads will be uninterruptible.
The solution is to make it possible to abort all requests, even those
currently undergoing I/O to/from userspace. The natural interface for this is
'mount -f mountpoint', but that only works as long as the filesystem is
attached. So also add an 'abort' attribute to the sysfs view of the
