This patch updates all four ioscheds to use generic dispatch
queue. There's one behavior change in as-iosched.
* In as-iosched, when force dispatching
(ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK), batch_data_dir is reset to REQ_SYNC
and changed_batch and new_batch are cleared to zero. This
prevernts AS from doing incorrect update_write_batch after
the forced dispatched requests are finished.
* In cfq-iosched, cfqd->rq_in_driver currently counts the
number of activated (removed) requests to determine
whether queue-kicking is needed and cfq_max_depth has been
reached. With generic dispatch queue, I think counting
the number of dispatched requests would be more appropriate.
* cfq_max_depth can be lowered to 1 again.

Implements generic dispatch queue which can replace all
dispatch queues implemented by each iosched. This reduces
code duplication, eases enforcing semantics over dispatch
queue, and simplifies specific ioscheds.

This patch removes try_module_get race in elevator_find.
try_module_get should always be called with the spinlock protecting
what the module init/cleanup routines register/unregister to held. In
the case of elevators, we should be holding elv_list to avoid it going
away between spin_unlock_irq and try_module_get.

struct gendisk has these two fields: stamp, stamp_idle. Update to
stamp_idle is always in sync with stamp and they are always the same.
Therefore, it does not add any value in having two fields tracking
same timestamp. Suggest to remove it.
Also, we should only update gendisk stats with non-zero value.
Advantage is that we don't have to needlessly calculate memory address,
and then add zero to the content.

This bug is responsible for causing the infamous "Treason uncloaked"
messages that's been popping up everywhere since the printk was added.
It has usually been blamed on foreign operating systems. However,
some of those reports implicate Linux as both systems are running
Linux or the TCP connection is going across the loopback interface.
In fact, there really is a bug in the Linux TCP header prediction code
that's been there since at least 2.1.8. This bug was tracked down with
help from Dale Blount.
The effect of this bug ranges from harmless "Treason uncloaked"
messages to hung/aborted TCP connections. The details of the bug
and fix is as follows.
When snd_wnd is updated, we only update pred_flags if
tcp_fast_path_check succeeds. When it fails (for example,
when our rcvbuf is used up), we will leave pred_flags with
an out-of-date snd_wnd value.
When the out-of-date pred_flags happens to match the next incoming
packet we will again hit the fast path and use the current snd_wnd
which will be wrong.
In the case of the treason messages, it just happens that the snd_wnd
cached in pred_flags is zero while tp->snd_wnd is non-zero. Therefore
when a zero-window packet comes in we incorrectly conclude that the
window is non-zero.
In fact if the peer continues to send us zero-window pure ACKs we
will continue making the same mistake. It's only when the peer
transmits a zero-window packet with data attached that we get a
chance to snap out of it. This is what triggers the treason
message at the next retransmit timeout.

There's a silly off-by-one error in the code that updates the expiration
of posix CPU timers, causing them to not be properly updated when they
hit exactly on their expiration time (which should be the normal case).
This causes them to then fire immediately again, and only _then_ get
properly updated.

fsck_hfs reveals lots of temporary files accumulating in the hidden
directory "\000\000\000HFS+ Private Data". According to the HFS+
documentation these are files which are unlinked while in use. However,
there may be a bug in the Linux hfsplus implementation which causes this to
happen even when the files are not in use. It looks like the "opencnt"
field is never initialized as (I think) it should be in hfsplus_read_inode.
This means that a file can appear to be still in use when in fact it has
been closed. This patch seems to fix it for me.

Although this message is having the intended effect of causing wireless
driver maintainers to upgrade their code, I never should have merged this
patch in its present form. Leading to tons of bug reports and unhappy
users.
Some wireless apps poll for statistics regularly, which leads to a printk()
every single time they ask for stats. That's a little bit _too_ much of a
reminder that the driver is using an old API.

Patch from Ian Campbell
Sparse complains about the definition of generic_fls in asm-arm/bitops.h:
CHECK /home/icampbell/devel/kernel/2.6/arch/arm/mach-pxa/viper.c
include2/asm/bitops.h:350:34: error: marked inline, but without a definition
The definition is unnecessary since linux/bitops.h defines generic_fls before including asm/bitops.h and asm/bitops.h should not be included directly. There are still some places where asm/bitops.h is directly included, but I think that code should be fixed. I was a little wary of the patch for this reason but lubbock, mainstone and assabet all build OK and so do my in house boards...
ARM is the only arch with the generic_fls prototype in this way.

If qla2x00_probe_one()'s call to qla2x00_iospace_config() fails, we call
qla2x00_free_device() to clean up. But because ha->dpc_pid hasn't been set
yet, qla2x00_free_device() tries to stop a kernel thread which hasn't started
yet. It does wait_for_completion() against an uninitialised completion struct
and the kernel hangs up.

This might be harmless, but looks like a race from code inspection (I
was unable to trigger it). I must admit, I don't understand why we
can't return TIMER_RETRY after 'spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock)'
without doing bump_cpu_timer(), but this is what original code does.
posix_cpu_timer_set:
read_lock(&tasklist_lock);
spin_lock(&p->sighand->siglock);
list_del_init(&timer->it.cpu.entry);
spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock);
We are probaly deleting the timer from run_posix_cpu_timers's 'firing'
local list_head while run_posix_cpu_timers() does list_for_each_safe.
Various bad things can happen, for example we can just delete this timer
so that list_for_each() will not notice it and run_posix_cpu_timers()
will not reset '->firing' flag. In that case,
....
if (timer->it.cpu.firing) {
read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
timer->it.cpu.firing = -1;
return TIMER_RETRY;
}
sys_timer_settime() goes to 'retry:', calls posix_cpu_timer_set() again,
it returns TIMER_RETRY ...

do_exit() clears ->it_##clock##_expires, but nothing prevents
another cpu to attach the timer to exiting process after that.
After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and
before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find
tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu
does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL.
At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were cleaned
up in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(), so we can just

1. cleanup_timers() sets timer->task = NULL under tasklist + ->sighand locks.
That means that this code in posix_cpu_timer_del() and posix_cpu_timer_set()
lock_timer(timer);
if (timer->task == NULL)
return;
read_lock(tasklist);
put_task_struct(timer->task)
is racy. With this patch timer->task modified and accounted only under
timer->it_lock. Sadly, this means that dead task_struct won't be freed
until timer deleted or armed.
2. run_posix_cpu_timers() collects expired timers into local list under
tasklist + ->sighand again. That means that posix_cpu_timer_del()
should check timer->it.cpu.firing under these locks too.

IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects. There's no way to destroy

Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload(). Which is probably
