Nick Piggin 1ef7d9aa32 writeback: fix possible bdi writeback refcounting problem
wb_clear_pending AFAIKS should not be called after the item has been
put on the list, except by the worker threads. It could lead to the
situation where the refcount is decremented below 0 and cause lots of
problems.

Presumably the !wb_has_dirty_io case is not a common one, so it can
be discovered when the thread wakes up to check?

Also add a comment in bdi_work_clear.

Nick Piggin 77b9d059cb writeback: Fix bdi use after free in wb_work_complete()
By the time bdi_work_on_stack gets evaluated again in bdi_work_free, it
can already have been deallocated and used for something else in the
!on stack case, giving a false positive in this test and causing
corruption.

Nick Piggin 77fad5e625 writeback: improve scalability of bdi writeback work queues
If you're going to do an atomic RMW on each list entry, there's not much
point in all the RCU complexities of the list walking. This is only going
to help the multi-thread case I guess, but it doesn't hurt to do now.

Jens Axboe ce5f8e7795 writeback: splice dirty inode entries to default bdi on bdi_destroy()

So just splice our entries to the default bdi since that one will

Jens Axboe b6e51316da writeback: separate starting of sync vs opportunistic writeback
bdi_start_writeback() is currently split into two paths, one for
WB_SYNC_NONE and one for WB_SYNC_ALL. Add bdi_sync_writeback()
for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback and let bdi_start_writeback() handle
only WB_SYNC_NONE.

Push down the writeback_control allocation and only accept the
parameters that make sense for each function. This cleans up
the API considerably.

Jens Axboe c4a77a6c7d writeback: make wb_writeback() take an argument structure
We need to be able to pass in range_cyclic as well, so instead
of growing yet another argument, split the arguments into a
struct wb_writeback_args structure that we can use internally.
Also makes it easier to just copy all members to an on-stack
struct, since we can't access work after clearing the pending
bit.

Axel K 7dbefe3d58 Staging: rt3090: remove possible conflict with rt2860
Both drivers (rt2860 and rt3090) register themselves as "rt2860" on
loading the module.

In the very rare case of somebody having two cards in his machine, one
using rt3090 and the other one using the rt2860 driver, loading both
modules would be impossible, the second one will not be loaded as the
kernel will tell you that the driver is already registered.

This was also present with rt2870/rt3070 (with both driver registering
as "rt2870"), but the code has been merged to one driver recently.

The follwoing patch fixes this potential problem until merging of
rt2860/rt3090 code to a single driver.

H.J. Thomassen dbda83255c Staging: add cowloop driver
Cowloop is a "copy-on-write" pseudo block driver. It can
be stacked on top of a "real" block driver, and catches
all write operations on their way from the file systems
layer above to the real driver below, effectively shielding
the lower driver from those write accesses. The requests are
then diverted to an ordinary file, located somewhere else
(configurable). Later read requests are checked to see whether
they can be serviced by the "real" block driver below, or
must be pulled in from the diverted location. More information
is on the project's website http://www.ATComputing.nl/cowloop/
