<content type='text'>
commit 0a41409c518083133e79015092585d68915865be upstream, but doesn't
apply, so this version is different for older kernels than 3.7.x

blk_alloc_queue has already done a bdi_init, so do not bdi_init
again in aoeblk_gdalloc.  The extra call causes list corruption
in the per-CPU backing dev info stats lists.

Affected users see console WARNINGs about list_del corruption on
percpu_counter_destroy when doing "rmmod aoe" or "aoeflush -a"
when AoE targets have been detected and initialized by the
system.

The patch below applies to v3.6.11, with its v47 aoe driver.  It
is expected to apply to all currently maintained stable kernels
except 3.7.y.  A related but different fix has been posted for
3.7.y.

[ Upstream commit 8babe8cc6570ed896b7b596337eb8fe730c3ff45 ]

In order for the network layer to see that AoE requires
no checksumming in a generic way, the packets must be
marked as requiring no checksum, so we make this requirement
explicit with the assertion.

Change Makefile to use &lt;modules&gt;-y instead of &lt;modules&gt;-objs because -objs
is deprecated and should now be switched.  According to
(documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt).

<content type='text'>
REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers.  What's left
at this point is:

 - various checks inside the block layer.
 - sanity checks in bio based drivers.
 - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
 - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
   but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
 - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
   drivers.
 - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
   removed when flushes were converted to FS requests.
 - blktrace handling of barriers - removed.  Someone who knows blktrace
   better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though.

dev_base_lock is the legacy way to lock the device list, and is planned
to disappear. (writers hold RTNL, readers hold RCU lock)

Convert aoecmd_cfg_pkts() to RCU locking.

<title>llseek: automatically add .llseek fop</title>

<content type='text'>
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

===== begin semantic patch =====
// This adds an llseek= method to all file operations,
// as a preparation for making no_llseek the default.
//
// The rules are
// - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open
// - use seq_lseek for sequential files
// - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos
// - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos,
//   but we still want to allow users to call lseek
