Tejun Heo f331c0296f block: don't depend on consecutive minor space
* Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly
  access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor.

  Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of
  block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as
  ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
  disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary.  However,
  convert them for consistency.

* Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
  genhd->minors.

* Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
  space.

* Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it
  the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).

These changes clean up the code and will help disk->part dereference
fix and extended block device numbers.

Tejun Heo cf771cb5a7 block: make variable and argument names more consistent
In hd_struct, @partno is used to denote partition number and a number
of other places use @part to denote hd_struct.  Functions use @part
and @index instead.  This causes confusion and makes it difficult to
use consistent variable names for hd_struct.  Always use @partno if a
variable represents partition number.

Also, print out functions use @f or @part for seq_file argument.  Use
@seqf uniformly instead.

Tejun Heo 5a3ceb8616 driver-core: use klist for class device list and implement iterator
Iterating over entries using callback usually isn't too fun especially
when the entry being iterated over can't be manipulated freely.  This
patch converts class->p->class_devices to klist and implements class
device iterator so that the users can freely build their own control
structure.  The users are also free to call back into class code
without worrying about locking.

class_for_each_device() and class_find_device() are converted to use
the new iterators, so their users don't have to worry about locking
anymore either.

Note: This depends on klist-dont-iterate-over-deleted-entries patch
because class_intf->add/remove_dev() depends on proper synchronization
with device removal.

Tejun Heo a1ed5b0cff klist: don't iterate over deleted entries
A klist entry is kept on the list till all its current iterations are
finished; however, a new iteration after deletion also iterates over
deleted entries as long as their reference count stays above zero.
This causes problems for cases where there are users which iterate
over the list while synchronized against list manipulations and
natuarally expect already deleted entries to not show up during
iteration.

This patch implements dead flag which gets set on deletion so that
iteration can skip already deleted entries.  The dead flag piggy backs
on the lowest bit of knode->n_klist and only visible to klist
implementation proper.

While at it, drop klist_iter->i_head as it's redundant and doesn't
offer anything in semantics or performance wise as klist_iter->i_klist
is dereferenced on every iteration anyway.

Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao 766ca4428d virtio_blk: use a wrapper function to access io context information of IO requests
struct request has an ioprio member but it is never updated because
currently bios do not hold io context information. The implication of
this is that virtio_blk ends up passing useless information to the
backend driver.

That said, some IO schedulers such as CFQ do store io context
information in struct request, but use private members for that, which
means that that information cannot be directly accessed in a IO
scheduler-independent way.

This patch adds a function to obtain the ioprio of a request. We should
avoid accessing ioprio directly and use this function instead, so that
its users do not have to care about future changes in block layer
structures or what the currently active IO controller is.

This patch does not introduce any functional changes but paves the way
for future clean-ups and enhancements.

David Woodhouse e17fc0a1cc Allow elevators to sort/merge discard requests
But blkdev_issue_discard() still emits requests which are interpreted as
soft barriers, because naïve callers might otherwise issue subsequent
writes to those same sectors, which might cross on the queue (if they're
reallocated quickly enough).

Callers still _can_ issue non-barrier discard requests, but they have to
take care of queue ordering for themselves.

David Woodhouse d30a2605be Add BLKDISCARD ioctl to allow userspace to discard sectors
We may well want mkfs tools to use this to mark the whole device as
unwanted before they format it, for example.

The ioctl takes a pair of uint64_ts, which are start offset and length
in _bytes_. Although at the moment it might make sense for them both to
be in 512-byte sectors, I don't want to limit the ABI to that.

David Woodhouse fb2dce862d Add 'discard' request handling
Some block devices benefit from a hint that they can forget the contents
of certain sectors. Add basic support for this to the block core, along
with a 'blkdev_issue_discard()' helper function which issues such
requests.

The caller doesn't get to provide an end_io functio, since
blkdev_issue_discard() will automatically split the request up into
multiple bios if appropriate. Neither does the function wait for
completion -- it's expected that callers won't care about when, or even
_if_, the request completes. It's only a hint to the device anyway. By
definition, the file system doesn't _care_ about these sectors any more.

Nick Piggin 4b19de6d1c mm: tiny-shmem nommu fix
The previous patch db203d53d4 ("mm:
tiny-shmem fix lock ordering: mmap_sem vs i_mutex") to fix the lock
ordering in tiny-shmem breaks shared anonymous and IPC memory on NOMMU
architectures because it was using the expanding truncate to signal ramfs
to allocate a physically contiguous RAM backing the inode (otherwise it is
unusable for "memory mapping" it to userspace).

However do_truncate is what caused the lock ordering error, due to it
taking i_mutex.  In this case, we can actually just call ramfs directly to
allocate memory for the mapping, rather than go via truncate.

with what I believe is a better fix than the one referenced

These PNP header interfaces try to work in such a way that
you can reference some of them even if PNP is not enabled,
and the compiler was expected to optimize everything away.

Which is mostly fine, except that there was one interface
for which there was not provided an inline "NOP" implementation.

Once we add that, all of these compile failures cannot handle
any more.

- Make the driver fall back to highest supported mode instead of always
  falling back to serial.  The driver will attempt the switch to 8b mode
  for any new MSPro card, but not all of them support it.  Previously,
  these new cards ended up in serial mode, which is not the best idea
  (they work fine with 4b, after all).

Mel Gorman 5bead2a068 mm: mark the correct zone as full when scanning zonelists
The iterator for_each_zone_zonelist() uses a struct zoneref *z cursor when
scanning zonelists to keep track of where in the zonelist it is.  The
zoneref that is returned corresponds to the the next zone that is to be
scanned, not the current one.  It was intended to be treated as an opaque
list.

When the page allocator is scanning a zonelist, it marks elements in the
zonelist corresponding to zones that are temporarily full.  As the
zonelist is being updated, it uses the cursor here;

  if (NUMA_BUILD)
        zlc_mark_zone_full(zonelist, z);

This is intended to prevent rescanning in the near future but the zoneref
cursor does not correspond to the zone that has been found to be full.
This is an easy misunderstanding to make so this patch corrects the
problem by changing zoneref cursor to be the current zone being scanned
instead of the next one.

Taisuke Yamada 97b697a11b [libata] LBA28/LBA48 off-by-one bug in ata.h
I recently bought 3 HGST P7K500-series 500GB SATA drives and
had trouble accessing the block right on the LBA28-LBA48 border.
Here's how it fails (same for all 3 drives):

  # dd if=/dev/sdc bs=512 count=1 skip=268435455 > /dev/null
  dd: reading `/dev/sdc': Input/output error

  ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR }
  ata1.00: error: { ABRT }
  ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33
  ata1: EH complete
  ...

After some investigations, it turned out this seems to be caused
by misinterpretation of the ATA specification on LBA28 access.
Following part is the code in question:

  === include/linux/ata.h ===
  static inline int lba_28_ok(u64 block, u32 n_block)
  {
    /* check the ending block number */
    return ((block + n_block - 1) < ((u64)1 << 28)) && (n_block <= 256);
  }

HGST drive (sometimes) fails with LBA28 access of {block = 0xfffffff,
n_block = 1}, and this behavior seems to be comformant. Other drives,
including other HGST drives are not that strict, through.

>From the ATA specification:
(http://www.t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/project/d1410r3b-ATA-ATAPI-6.pdf)

  8.15.29  Word (61:60): Total number of user addressable sectors
  This field contains a value that is one greater than the total number
  of user addressable sectors (see 6.2). The maximum value that shall
  be placed in this field is 0FFFFFFFh.

So the driver shouldn't use the value of 0xfffffff for LBA28 request
as this exceeds maximum user addressable sector. The logical maximum
value for LBA28 is 0xffffffe.

The obvious fix is to cut "- 1" part, and the patch attached just do
that. I've been using the patched kernel for about a month now, and
the same fix is also floating on the net for some time. So I believe
this fix works reliably.

Just FYI, many Windows/Intel platform users also seems to be struck
by this, and HGST has issued a note pointing to Intel ICH8/9 driver.

  "28-bit LBA command is being used to access LBAs 29-bits in length"
http://www.hitachigst.com/hddt/knowtree.nsf/cffe836ed7c12018862565b000530c74/b531b8bce8745fb78825740f00580e23

Also, *BSDs seems to have similar fix included sometime around ~2004,
through I have not checked out exact portion of the code.

Max Krasnyansky dfb512ec48 sched: arch_reinit_sched_domains() must destroy domains to force rebuild
What I realized recently is that calling rebuild_sched_domains() in
arch_reinit_sched_domains() by itself is not enough when cpusets are enabled.
partition_sched_domains() code is trying to avoid unnecessary domain rebuilds
and will not actually rebuild anything if new domain masks match the old ones.

What this means is that doing
     echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
on a system with cpusets enabled will not take affect untill something changes
in the cpuset setup (ie new sets created or deleted).

This patch fixes restore correct behaviour where domains must be rebuilt in
order to enable MC powersaving flags.

Test on quad-core Core2 box with both CONFIG_CPUSETS and !CONFIG_CPUSETS.
Also tested on dual-core Core2 laptop. Lockdep is happy and things are working
as expected.

Li Zefan 11d55d2cba res_counter: fix off-by-one bug in setting limit
I found we can no longer set limit to 0 with 2.6.27-rcX:
 # mount -t cgroup -omemory xxx /mnt
 # mkdir /mnt/0
 # echo 0 > /mnt/0/memory.limit_in_bytes
 bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

It turned out 'limit' can't be set to 'usage', which is wrong IMO.

Balbir Singh 49048622ea sched: fix process time monotonicity
Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite
the fixes in commit b27f03d4bd. The suspected
reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and
stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime()
routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem
to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch
fixes the problem

TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more
generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt()
function for comparison.

Venkatesh Pallipadi 7c1e768974 clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noop
There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which
clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch
will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as
event handler, resulting in no timer activity.

The problematic path seems to be

* old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler
* new clockevent device registers with a higher rating
* tick_check_new_device() is called
  * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called
    * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop
  * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device
    * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop.

Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler.

This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent
devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting
some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch.
This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting
with.
