Use the recently-added bio front_pad field to allocate struct dm_target_io.
Prior to this patch, dm_target_io was allocated from a mempool. For each
dm_target_io, there is exactly one bio allocated from a bioset.
This patch merges these two allocations into one allocation: we create a
bioset with front_pad equal to the size of dm_target_io so that every
bio allocated from the bioset has sizeof(struct dm_target_io) bytes
before it. We allocate a bio and use the bytes before the bio as
dm_target_io.
_tio_cache is removed and the tio_pool mempool is now only used for
request-based devices.

Support discards when the pool's block size is not a power of 2.
The block layer assumes discard_granularity is a power of 2 (in
blkdev_issue_discard), so we set this to the largest power of 2 that is
a divides into the number of sectors in each block, but never less than
DATA_DEV_BLOCK_SIZE_MIN_SECTORS.
This patch eliminates the "Discard support must be disabled when the
block size is not a power of 2" constraint that was imposed in commit
55f2b8b ("dm thin: support for non power of 2 pool blocksize"). That
commit was incomplete: using a block size that is not a power of 2

Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen
Pull Xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has four bug-fixes and one tiny feature that I forgot to put
initially in my tree due to oversight.
The feature is for kdump kernels to speed up the /proc/vmcore reading.
There is a ram_is_pfn helper function that the different platforms can
register for. We are now doing that.
The bug-fixes cover some embarrassing struct pv_cpu_ops variables
being set to NULL on Xen (but not baremetal). We had a similar issue
in the past with {write|read}_msr_safe and this fills the three
missing ones. The other bug-fix is to make the console output (hvc)
be capable of dealing with misbehaving backends and not fall flat on
its face. Lastly, a quirk for older XenBus implementations that came
with an ancient v3.4 hypervisor (so RHEL5 based) - reading of certain
non-existent attributes just hangs the guest during bootup - so we
take precaution of not doing that on such older installations.
Feature:
- Register a pfn_is_ram helper to speed up reading of /proc/vmcore.
Bug-fixes:
- Three pvops call for Xen were undefined causing BUG_ONs.
- Add a quirk so that the shutdown watches (used by kdump) are not
used with older Xen (3.4).
- Fix ungraceful state transition for the HVC console."

xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add quirk for Xen 3.4 and shutdown watches.

xen/bootup: allow read_tscp call for Xen PV guests.
xen pv-on-hvm: add pfn_is_ram helper for kdump
xen/hvc: handle backend CLOSED without CLOSING
The commit 254d1a3f02, titled
"xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: shutdown watches from old kernel" assumes that the
XenBus backend can deal with reading of values from:
"control/platform-feature-xs_reset_watches":
... a patch for xenstored is required so that it
accepts the XS_RESET_WATCHES request from a client (see changeset
23839:42a45baf037d in xen-unstable.hg). Without the patch for xenstored
the registration of watches will fail and some features of a PVonHVM
guest are not available. The guest is still able to boot, but repeated
kexec boots will fail."
Sadly this is not true when using a Xen 3.4 hypervisor and booting a PVHVM
guest. We end up hanging at:
err = xenbus_scanf(XBT_NIL, "control",
"platform-feature-xs_reset_watches", "%d", &supported);
This can easily be seen with guests hanging at xenbus_init:
NX (Execute Disable) protection: active
SMBIOS 2.4 present.
DMI: Xen HVM domU, BIOS 3.4.0 05/13/2011
Hypervisor detected: Xen HVM
Xen version 3.4.
Xen Platform PCI: I/O protocol version 1
... snip ..
calling xenbus_init+0x0/0x27e @ 1
Reverting the commit or using the attached patch fixes the issue. This fix
checks whether the hypervisor is older than 4.0 and if so does not try to
perform the read.

It is possible to miss data when using the kdb pager. The kdb pager
does not pay attention to the maximum column constraint of the screen
or serial terminal. This result is not incrementing the shown lines
correctly and the pager will print more lines that fit on the screen.
Obviously that is less than useful when using a VGA console where you

It is a common enough mistake for people to specify "kdb" when they
meant to type "kbd" that the kgdboc can just accept both since they
both mean the same thing anyway. Specifically it is for the case
where you want kdb to be active on your graphics console + keyboard
(where kbd was the original abbreviation for keyboard).
With this change kgdboc will now accept either to mean the same thing:
kgdboc=kbd
kgdboc=kdb

"Despite its size, most of the stuff here is trivial. This series
contains:
- s5p-mfc: additions at the driver and at the core to support H.264
hardware codec;
- Some improvements at s5p and davinci embedded drivers;
- Some V4L2 compliance fixes applied on a few drivers;
- Several random trivial patches, including several fixes and a few
new board support additions;
Notes:
1) Some Exynos media patches were dependent on some -arm fixes that
got merged on changeset 782cd9e. That's why this pull request is
based that changeset.
2) As promised, I reviewed the pending VB2 DMABUF series.
While setting a test environment, it was noticed that the upstream
support for Samsung Exynos 4 boards (smdk310 and Origen) are
broken upstream, likely due to regressions: both defconfigs are
wrong and regulator settings for both boards are broken. That,
allied with some bug at the dummy regulator driver, causes OOPSes
during boot time.
Long story short: even fixing the above, the proposed patches
OOPSed when running the DMABUF test. Not sure yet if the OOPSes
are due to some other undetected regressions, or due to some bug
on the patches.
Due to the above, DMABUF patches for vb2 got NACKed for 3.7."

Pull second set of pinctrl patches from Linus Walleij:
"Here is a late pinctrl pull request with stuff that wasn't quite
tested at the first pull request.
The main reason to not hold off is that the modifications to
irq_domain_add_simple() as reviewed by Rob Herring introduce new
infrastructure for irqdomains that will be useful for the next cycle:
instead of sprinkling irq descriptor allocation all over the kernel
wherever a "legacy" domain is registered, which is necessary for any
platform using sparse IRQs, and many irq chips are say GPIO
controllers which may be used with several systems, some with sparse
IRQs some not, we push this into the irq_domain_add_simple() so we can
atleast do mistakes in one place.
The irq_domain_add_simple() is currently unused in the kernel, so I
need to provide a user. The Nomadik stuff that goes with are changes
to the driver I use day-to-day to make use of this facility (and a
dependency), so see it as a way to eat my own dogfood: if this blows
up the egg hits my face.

If 'resync_max' is set to 0 (as is often done when starting a
reshape, so the mdadm can remain in control during a sensitive
period), and if the reshape request is initially delayed because
another array using the same array is resyncing or reshaping etc,
when user-space cannot easily tell when the delay changes from being
due to a conflicting reshape, to being due to resync_max = 0.
So introduce a new state: (curr_resync == 3) to reflect this, make
sure it is visible both via /proc/mdstat and via the "sync_completed"
sysfs attribute, and ensure that the event transition from one delay
state to the other is properly notified.

When a RAID5 is reshaping, conf->raid_disks is increased
before mddev->delta_disks becomes zero.
This can result in check_reshape calling resize_stripes with a
number that is too large. This particularly happens
when md_check_recovery calls ->check_reshape().
If we use ->previous_raid_disks, we don't risk this.

If you make an array bigger but suppress resync of the new region with
mdadm --grow /dev/mdX --size=max --assume-clean
then stop the array before anything is written to it, the effect of
the "--assume-clean" is lost and the array will resync the new space
when restarted.
So ensure that we update the metadata in the case.

In some cases array are started in 'read-auto' state where in
nothing gets written to any device until the array is written
to. The purpose of this is to make accidental auto-assembly
of the wrong arrays less of a risk, and to allow arrays to be
started to read suspend-to-disk images without actually changing
anything (as might happen if the array were dirty and a
resync seemed necessary).
Explicitly writing the 'sync_action' for a read-auto array currently
doesn't clear the read-auto state, so the sync action doesn't
happen, which can be confusing.
So allow any successful write to sync_action to clear any read-auto
state.

This patch originated from Hiroaki SHIMODA but has been modified
by Intel with some minor cleanups and additional commit log text.
Denys Fedoryshchenko and others reported Tx stalls on e1000e with
BQL enabled. Issue was root caused to hardware delays. They were
introduced because some of the e1000e hardware with transmit
writeback bursting enabled, waits until the driver does an
explict flush OR there are WTHRESH descriptors to write back.
Sometimes the delays in question were on the order of seconds,
causing visible lag for ssh sessions and unacceptable tx
completion latency, especially for BQL enabled kernels.
To avoid possible Tx stalls, change WTHRESH back to 1.
The current plan is to investigate a method for re-enabling
WTHRESH while not harming BQL, but those patches will be later
for net-next if they work.

to_read and to_write are part of the result of analysing
a stripe before handling it.
Their use is to avoid some loops and tests if the values are
known to be zero. Thus it is not a problem if they are a
little bit larger than they should be.
So decrementing them in handle_failed_stripe serves little value, and
due to races it could cause some loops to be skipped incorrectly.
So remove those decrements.

We want to avoid zero discarded dev page, because it's useless for discard.
But if we don't zero it, another read/write hit such page in the cache and will
get inconsistent data.
To avoid zero the page, we don't set R5_UPTODATE flag after construction is
done. In this way, discard write request is still issued and finished, but read
will not hit the page. If the stripe gets accessed soon, we need reread the
stripe, but since the chance is low, the reread isn't a big deal.

Discard for raid4/5/6 has limitation. If discard request size is
small, we do discard for one disk, but we need calculate parity and
write parity disk. To correctly calculate parity, zero_after_discard
must be guaranteed. Even it's true, we need do discard for one disk
but write another disks, which makes the parity disks wear out
fast. This doesn't make sense. So an efficient discard for raid4/5/6
should discard all data disks and parity disks, which requires the
write pattern to be (A, A+chunk_size, A+chunk_size*2...). If A's size
is smaller than chunk_size, such pattern is almost impossible in
practice. So in this patch, I only handle the case that A's size
equals to chunk_size. That is discard request should be aligned to
stripe size and its size is multiple of stripe size.
Since we can only handle request with specific alignment and size (or
part of the request fitting stripes), we can't guarantee
zero_after_discard even zero_after_discard is true in low level
drives.
The block layer doesn't send down correctly aligned requests even
correct discard alignment is set, so I must filter out.
For raid4/5/6 parity calculation, if data is 0, parity is 0. So if
zero_after_discard is true for all disks, data is consistent after
discard. Otherwise, data might be lost. Let's consider a scenario:
discard a stripe, write data to one disk and write parity disk. The
stripe could be still inconsistent till then depending on using data
from other data disks or parity disks to calculate new parity. If the
disk is broken, we can't restore it. So in this patch, we only enable
discard support if all disks have zero_after_discard.
If discard fails in one disk, we face the similar inconsistent issue
above. The patch will make discard follow the same path as normal
write request. If discard fails, a resync will be scheduled to make
the data consistent. This isn't good to have extra writes, but data
consistency is important.
If a subsequent read/write request hits raid5 cache of a discarded
stripe, the discarded dev page should have zero filled, so the data is
consistent. This patch will always zero dev page for discarded request
stripe. This isn't optimal because discard request doesn't need such
payload. Next patch will avoid it.
