The next_ordered flag is only meaningful for devices that use __make_request.
So move the test against next_ordered out of generic code and in to
__make_request
Since this test was added, barriers have not worked on md or any
devices that don't use __make_request and so don't bother to set
next_ordered. (dm explicitly sets something other than
QUEUE_ORDERED_NONE since
commit 99360b4c18f7675b50d283301d46d755affe75fd
but notes in the comments that it is otherwise meaningless).

The initial patches to support this through sysfs export were broken
and have been if 0'ed out in any release. So lets just kill the code
and reclaim some space in struct request_queue, if anyone would later
like to fixup the sysfs bits, the git history can easily restore
the removed bits.

This patch restores stacking ability to the block layer integrity
infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs. Each bip slab
has an embedded bio_vec array at the end. This cuts down on memory
allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec
version. Only the largest bip slab is backed by a mempool. The pool is
contained in the bio_set so stacking drivers can ensure forward
progress.

Setup an emergency fallback cfqq that we allocate at IO scheduler init
time. If the slab allocation fails in cfq_find_alloc_queue(), we'll just
punt IO to that cfqq instead. This ensures that cfq_find_alloc_queue()
never fails without having to ensure free memory.
On cfqq lookup, always try to allocate a new cfqq if the given cfq io
context has the oom_cfqq assigned. This ensures that we only temporarily
punt to this shared queue.

| page-allocator: clear N_HIGH_MEMORY map before we set it again
|
| SRAT tables may contains nodes of very small size. The arch code may
| decide to not activate such a node. However, currently the early boot
| code sets N_HIGH_MEMORY for such nodes. These nodes therefore seem to be
| active although these nodes have no present pages.
|
| For 64bit N_HIGH_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY, so that works for 64 bit too
unintentionally and incorrectly clears the cpuset.mems cgroup attribute on
an i386 kvm guest, meaning that cpuset.mems can not be used.
Fix this by only clearing node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] for 64bit only.
and need to do save/restore for that in find_zone_movable_pfn

balance_dirty_pages can overreact and move all of the dirty pages to
writeback unnecessarily.
balance_dirty_pages makes its decision to throttle based on the number of
dirty plus writeback pages that are over the calculated limit,so it will
continue to move pages even when there are plenty of pages in writeback
and less than the threshold still dirty.
This allows it to overshoot its limits and move all the dirty pages to
writeback while waiting for the drives to catch up and empty the writeback
list.
A simple fio test easily demonstrates this problem.
fio --name=f1 --directory=/disk1 --size=2G -rw=write --name=f2 --directory=/disk2 --size=1G --rw=write --startdelay=10
This is the simplest fix I could find, but I'm not entirely sure that it
alone will be enough for all cases. But it certainly is an improvement on
my desktop machine writing to 2 disks.
Do we need something more for machines with large arrays where
bdi_threshold * number_of_drives is greater than the dirty_ratio ?

Bugfix to spi_bitbang infrastructure: make sure to always set transfer
parameters on the first pass through the message's per-transfer loop.
This can matter with drivers that replace the per-word or per-buffer
transfer primitives, on busses with multiple SPI devices.
Previously, this could have started messages using the settings left after
previous messages. The problem was observed when a high speed chip
(m25p80 type flash) was running very slowly because a low speed device
(avr8 microcontroller) had previously used the bus. Similar faults could
have driven the low speed device too fast, or used an unexpected word
size.

Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer
semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call.
Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change
so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used. Changing of these
fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed.
This is 2.6.31 material. It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and
register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and
register_framebuffer()). It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and
smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

Add a new spi_master.flags word listing constraints relevant to that
controller. Define the first constraint bit: a half duplex restriction.
Include that constraint in the OMAP1 MicroWire controller driver.
Have the mmc_spi host be the first customer of this flag. Its coding
relies heavily on full duplex transfers, so it must fail when the
underlying controller driver won't perform them.
(The spi_write_then_read routine could use it too: use the
temporarily-withdrawn full-duplex speedup unless this flag is set, in
which case the existing code applies. Similarly, any spi_master
implementing only SPI_3WIRE should set the flag.)

Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
pass them through to usermode drivers:
* SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
full duplex.
This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
transitions with the SPI master.
* SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
each of the 3-wire flavors).
Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC
converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
many host controllers support it today.
The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support
(unlike SPI_READY).

ext2_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such
that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a
misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the
part of the admin.
The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a
link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.
This patch thus changes ext2_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext2_iget(), as ext2 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is
detected.

With ELF, at generating coredump, some more headers other than used
vmas are added.
When max_map_count == 65536, a core generated by following kinds of
code can be unreadable because the number of ELF's program header is
written in 16bit in Ehdr (please see elf.h) and the number overflows.
==
... = mmap(); (munmap, mprotect, etc...)
if (failed)
abort();
==
This can happen in mmap/munmap/mprotect/etc...which calls split_vma().
I think 65536 is not safe as _default_ and reduce it to 65530 is good
for avoiding unexpected corrupted core.
Anyway, max_map_count can be enlarged by sysctl if a user is brave..

alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for
modules to work around addressing range limitation. This is done via
generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the
assembler to generate external reference. This happens behind the
compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables
in modules are unused.
This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu
variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however,
recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as
__used can't be used for declaration. Also, in the process,
PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken.
This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions
and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules. This
also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

When building with a 4.1.x compiler on powerpc64 (at least) we get this
error:
drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c:81: error: logo_linux_mono causes a section type conflict
This was introduced by commit ae52bb2384f721562f15f719de1acb8e934733cb
("fbdev: move logo externs to header file"). This is a partial revert of
that commit sufficient to not hit the compiler bug.

Al analysed this some time ago. When we say something is const then

conflict.

The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).
However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent
on the size of the previous sections.
Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
the ctors contents are properly aligned. However the extra zeroes at the
beginning aren't expected by the code. When walking the functions
pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in
random jumps. So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always
aligned as well.

Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from
the file pointer instance.
Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the
POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away. Also,
now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the
file*.
This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under
development.

So that we can filter by symbol name.
The 'pfunct' utility in the 'dwarves' package can be used to
create a file with the functions one wants.
Example:
[acme@doppio pahole]$ pfunct /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so.debug | grep dwarf > /tmp/dwarf.symbols
[acme@doppio pahole]$ wc -l /tmp/dwarf.symbols
93 /tmp/dwarf.symbols
[acme@doppio pahole]$ head -3 /tmp/dwarf.symbols
dwfl_addrdwarf
dwfl_module_getdwarf
dwfl_getdwarf
[acme@doppio pahole]$ perf report --sort comm,dso,symbol --comms pahole --dsos /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so --symbols file:///tmp/dwarf.symbols

perfmon.c has a dubious cast directly from "int" to "void *". Add
an intermediate cast to "long" to keep gcc happy.
salinfo.c uses "down_trylock()" in a highly creative way (explained
in the comments in the file) ... but it does kick out this warning:
arch/ia64/kernel/salinfo.c:195: warning: ignoring return value of 'down_trylock'
which people occasionally try to "fix" in ways that do not work. Use some
casts to keep gcc quiet.

I.e. we can't handle these two kinds of files in the same way:
1) prelinked system library:
[acme@doppio pahole]$ readelf -s /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so | egrep 'FUNC.+GLOBAL.+dwfl_report_elf'
278: 00000030450105a0 261 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 dwfl_report_elf@@ELFUTILS_0.122
2) not prelinked library with debug information from a -debuginfo package:
[acme@doppio pahole]$ readelf -s /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so.debug | egrep 'FUNC.+GLOBAL.+dwfl_report_elf'
629: 00000000000105a0 261 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 dwfl_report_elf
[acme@doppio pahole]$
Now the numbers I got for a pahole perf run are in line with
the numbers I get from oprofile.
