Christoph Hellwig 33659ebbae block: remove wrappers for request type/flags
Remove all the trivial wrappers for the cmd_type and cmd_flags fields in
struct requests.  This allows much easier grepping for different request
types instead of unwinding through macros.

FUJITA Tomonori bfe172310e block: kill ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD usage
block uses ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD for BLK_BOUNCE_ISA. Only SCSI uses
ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD for ancient drivers with non-zero
unchecked_isa_dma. Nowadays drivers (and subsystems) use dma_mask
properly instead of ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD.

Documentation/scsi/scsi_mid_low_api.txt says:

unchecked_isa_dma - 1=>only use bottom 16 MB of ram (ISA DMA addressing
                   restriction), 0=>can use full 32 bit (or better) DMA
                   address space

So block simply uses DMA_BIT_MASK(24) for BLK_BOUNCE_ISA for SCSI.

FUJITA Tomonori b375a612ad aha1532: remove ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD usage
We can safely remove ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD usage in aha1542. aha1542 uses
ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD to see if:

- the buffers in scatter/list are below 16MB.
- scsi_host is below 16MB.

Both checkings were added in the ancient times but aren't necessary
nowadays since we properly bounce the buffers and allocate scsi_host
below 16MB with non-zero unchecked_isa_dma.

Christoph Hellwig 41f2df6289 block: BARRIER request should imply SYNC
A barrier request should by defintion have priority in get_request
and let the queue be unplugged immediately as it's blocking all forward
progress due to the queue draining.

Most filesystems already get this implicitly by the way how submit_bh
treats the buffer_ordered flag, and gfs2 sets it explicitly.  But btrfs
and XFS are still forgetting to set the flag, as is blkdev_issue_flush
and some places in DM/MD.

For XFS on metadata heavy workloads this gives a consistent speedup
in the 2-3% range.

Jens Axboe e2e1a148bc block: add sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions
There are two reasons for doing this:

- On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
  are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
  should contribute to the random pool in the first place.

- Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.

This adds /sys/block/<dev>/queue/add_random that will allow you to
switch off on a per-device basis. The default setting is on, so there
should be no functional changes from this patch.

Mike Miller 5e216153c3 cciss: add performant mode support for Stars/Sirius
Add a mode of controller operation called Performant Mode.  Even though
cciss has been deprecated in favor of hpsa there are new controllers due
out next year that HP must support in older vendor distros.  Vendors
require all fixes/features be upstream.  These new controllers support
only 16 commands in simple mode but support up to 1024 in performant mode.
This requires us to add this support at this late date.

The performant mode transport minimizes host PCI accesses by performinf
many completions per read.  PCI writes are posted so the host can write
then immediately get off the bus not waiting for the writwe to complete to
the target.  In the context of performant mode the host read out to a
controller pulls all posted writes into host memory ensuring the reply
queue is coherent.

Hugh Dickins de51257aa3 mm: fix ia64 crash when gcore reads gate area
Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot
when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to
2.6.32 62eede62da "mm: ZERO_PAGE without
PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target.

I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that
happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page),
yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when
access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer.

Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting
success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change,
but let's not risk it without testing exposure.

Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages?
Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.

smp_processor_id() must not be called from a preemptible context (this

This lead to a problem where the wrong per_cpu kmap_high_l1_vipt_depth

The solution is to move the call to smp_processor_id() after the call

Dan Carpenter 674b222292 nfs: include space for the NUL in root path
In root_nfs_name() it does the following:

        if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) > NFS_MAXPATHLEN) {
                printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Pathname for remote directory too long.\n");
                return -1;
        }
        sprintf(nfs_export_path, buf, cp);

In the original code if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) == NFS_MAXPATHLEN)
then the sprintf() would lead to an overflow.  Generally the rest of the
code assumes that the path can have NFS_MAXPATHLEN (1024) characters and
a NUL terminator so the fix is to add space to the nfs_export_path[]
buffer.

Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
condition:

	lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()

as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.

Instead, add the following validation condition:

	task->exit_state >= 0

to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
its own credentials.

Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:

 (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
     from being deleted.  That shouldn't need saying.

 (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
     directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
     instead.

Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too.

David Howells de09a9771a CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead credentials
It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
task being accessed.

What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():

	TASK_1			TASK_2			RCU_CLEANER
	-->get_task_cred(TASK_2)
	rcu_read_lock()
	__cred = __task_cred(TASK_2)
				-->commit_creds()
				old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred
				TASK_2->real_cred = ...
				put_cred(old_cred)
				  call_rcu(old_cred)
		[__cred->usage == 0]
	get_cred(__cred)
		[__cred->usage == 1]
	rcu_read_unlock()
							-->put_cred_rcu()
							[__cred->usage == 1]
							panic()

However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.

If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
cleanup code.

We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
same problem.

Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
for example:

Takashi Iwai dc1eae256c ALSA: hda - Add a PC-beep workaround for ASUS P5-V
ASUS P5-V provides a SSID that unexpectedly matches with the value
compilant with Realtek's specification.  Thus the driver interprets
it badly, resulting in non-working PC beep.

This patch adds a white-list for such a case; a white-list of known
devices with working PC beep.

Russell King b92b361213 ARM: Add barriers to io{read,write}{8,16,32} accessors as well
The ioread/iowrite accessors also need barriers as they're used in
place of readl/writel et.al. in portable drivers.  Create __iormb()
and __iowmb() which are conditionally defined to be barriers dependent
on ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE, and always use these macros in the accessors.

Catalin Marinas 79f64dbf68 ARM: 6273/1: Add barriers to the I/O accessors if ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE
When the coherent DMA buffers are mapped as Normal Non-cacheable
(ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE enabled), buffer accesses are no longer ordered
with Device memory accesses causing failures in device drivers that do
not use the mandatory memory barriers before starting a DMA transfer.
LKML discussions led to the conclusion that such barriers have to be
added to the I/O accessors:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/683509/focus=686153
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/46414
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/5250

This patch introduces a wmb() barrier to the write*() I/O accessors to
handle the situations where Normal Non-cacheable writes are still in the
processor (or L2 cache controller) write buffer before a DMA transfer
command is issued. For the read*() accessors, a rmb() is introduced
after the I/O to avoid speculative loads where the driver polls for a
DMA transfer ready bit.
