Boaz Harrosh a229fc61ef include/linux: Add bsg.h to the Kernel exported headers
bsg.h in current form is perfectly suitable for user-mode
consumption. It is needed together with scsi/sg.h for applications
that want to interface with the bsg driver.

Currently the few projects that use it would copy it over into
the projects. But that is not acceptable for projects that need
to provide source and devel packages for distros.

This should also be submitted to stable 2.6.28 and 2.6.27 since bsg had
a stable API since these Kernels and distro users will need the header
for these kernels a swell

Jens Axboe 1dfa17f4ab block: add bio_rw_flagged() for testing bio->bi_rw
The existing functions for checking bio->bi_rw are badly named. So lets
mirror what we do for bio->bi_flags testing, use a properly named
function so that it's immediately obvious what is being tested.

Maintain compatability names for the old macros, eventually we'll get
rid of these.

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 1308835fff block: export SSD/non-rotational queue flag through sysfs
For some devices (i.e. CFA ATA) we can't reliably detect whether
the device is of rotational or non-rotational type so we need to
leave the final decision about this setting to the user-space.

As a bonus do a minor CodingStyle fixup in queue_nomerges_store().

Teemu Likonen 0acbc6c651 Documentation: update CodingStyle tips for Emacs users
With the previous Emacs tips example the kernel style was made available
for files in the kernel-tree only. This patch updates the tip to add a
separate cc-mode indent style ("linux-tabs-only"). This makes it easy to
switch between different indent styles and also makes the kernel style
easily available for any filetype mode (c++, awk, ...) that is managed
by the Emacs cc-mode.

Davide Libenzi 9df04e1f25 epoll: drop max_user_instances and rely only on max_user_watches
Linus suggested to put limits where the money is, and max_user_watches
already does that w/out the need of max_user_instances.  That has the
advantage to mitigate the potential DoS while allowing pretty generous
default behavior.

Allowing top 4% of low memory (per user) to be allocated in epoll watches,
we have:

LOMEM    MAX_WATCHES (per user)
512MB    ~178000
1GB      ~356000
2GB      ~712000

A box with 512MB of lomem, will meet some challenge in hitting 180K
watches, socket buffers math teaches us.  No more max_user_instances
limits then.

The commit "alpha: teach the compiler that BUG doesn't return"
(ed6b9b97f4) moved the asm code into inline
function which takes __FILE__ and __LINE__ as arguments.  This violates
asm constrains there ("i" - an immediate operand with constant value), so
that compile may result in warning or error, depending on compiler
version.

Just adding an infinite loop to the BUG() is sufficient.

swap_cgroup.

This causes strange problem that the parent mem_cgroup dies while child
mem_cgroup alive, and this problem causes a bug in case of
use_hierarchy==1 because res_counter_uncharge climbs up the tree.

This patch is for avoiding it by getting the parent at create, and putting
it at freeing.

Linus Torvalds de33c8db59 Fix OOPS in mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segments
As of commit ba470de431 ("map: handle
mlocked pages during map, remap, unmap") we now use the 'vma' variable
at the end of mmap_region() to handle the page-in of newly mapped
mlocked pages.

However, if we merged adjacent vma's together, the vma we're using may
be stale.  We historically consciously avoided using it after the merge
operation, but that got overlooked when redoing the locked page
handling.

This commit simplifies mmap_region() by doing any vma merges early,
avoiding the issue entirely, and 'vma' will always be valid.  As pointed
out by Hugh Dickins, this depends on any drivers that change the page
offset of flags to have set one of the VM_SPECIAL bits (so that they
cannot trigger the early merge logic), but that's true in general.
