2013-05-13staging: add mausezahn staging directoryDaniel Borkmann1-0/+422
After some back and forth, we decided that it is easier to maintain mausezahn in a staging directory until it is fully reworked and cleaned up to be ready to be fully integrated. This way, it is better than having it in a separate branch, and we can also accept patches from outside more easily. Also, while at it, fix up some function mismatches with libcli.

ext4: allow readdir()'s of large empty directories to be interrupted
If a directory has a large number of empty blocks, iterating over all of them can take a long time, leading to scheduler warnings and users getting irritated when they can't kill a process in the middle of one of these long-running readdir operations. Fix this by adding checks to ext4_readdir() and ext4_htree_fill_tree(). This was reverted earlier due to a typo in the original commit where I experimented with using signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending(). The test was in the wrong place if we were going to return signal_pending() since we would end up returning duplicant entries. See 9f2394c9be47 for a more detailed explanation. Added fix as suggested by Linus to check for signal_pending() in in the filldir() functions.
