15b80d6417 hv: remove struct hv_device_info from hyperv.h
This is only used/needed by the vmbus core code, so move it out of the
hyperv.h file and into the .c file that uses it.

284fb68d00 rapidio: fix use of non-compatible registers
Replace/remove use of RIO v.1.2 registers/bits that are not
forward-compatible with newer versions of RapidIO specification.

RapidIO specification v.1.3 removed Write Port CSR, Doorbell CSR,
Mailbox CSR and Mailbox and Doorbell bits of the PEF CAR.

Use of removed (since RIO v.1.3) register bits affects users of
currently available 1.3 and 2.x compliant devices who may use not so
recent kernel versions.

Removing checks for unsupported bits makes corresponding routines
compatible with all versions of RapidIO specification.  Therefore,
backporting makes stable kernel versions compliant with RIO v.1.3 and
later as well.

e096d0c7e2 lockdep: Add helper function for dir vs file i_mutex annotation
Purely in-memory filesystems do not use the inode hash as the dcache
tells us if an entry already exists.  As a result, they do not call
unlock_new_inode, and thus directory inodes do not get put into a
different lockdep class for i_sem.

We need the different lockdep classes, because the locking order for
i_mutex is different for directory inodes and regular inodes.  Directory
inodes can do "readdir()", which takes i_mutex *before* possibly taking
mm->mmap_sem (due to a page fault while copying the directory entry to
user space).

In contrast, regular inodes can be mmap'ed, which takes mm->mmap_sem
before accessing i_mutex.

The two cases can never happen for the same inode, so no real deadlock
can occur, but without the different lockdep classes, lockdep cannot
understand that.  As a result, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set, this
can lead to false positives from lockdep like below:

    find/645 is trying to acquire lock:
     (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81109514>] might_fault+0x5c/0xac

    but task is already holding lock:
     (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81149f34>]
    vfs_readdir+0x5b/0xb4

    which lock already depends on the new lock.

    the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

    -> #1 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+.+.}:
          [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103
          [<ffffffff814db822>] __mutex_lock_common+0x4c/0x361

          [<ffffffff81111557>] mmap_region+0x258/0x432

          [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

    -> #0 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}:
          [<ffffffff8108a4bc>] __lock_acquire+0xa1a/0xcf7
          [<ffffffff8108ac26>] lock_acquire+0xbf/0x103

          [<ffffffff814e3ec2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

This patch moves the directory vs file lockdep annotation into a helper
function that can be called by in-memory filesystems and has hugetlbfs
call it.

be27425dcc Add a personality to report 2.6.x version numbers
I ran into a couple of programs which broke with the new Linux 3.0
version.  Some of those were binary only.  I tried to use LD_PRELOAD to
work around it, but it was quite difficult and in one case impossible
because of a mix of 32bit and 64bit executables.

For example, all kind of management software from HP doesnt work, unless
we pretend to run a 2.6 kernel.

  $ uname -a
  Linux svivoipvnx001 3.0.0-08107-g97cd98f #1062 SMP Fri Aug 12 18:11:45 CEST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

  $ hpacucli ctrl all show

  Error: No controllers detected.

  $ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/hpacucli
  hpacucli-8.75-12.0

Another notable case is that Python now reports "linux3" from
sys.platform(); which in turn can break things that were checking
sys.platform() == "linux2":

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664564

It seems pretty clear to me though it's a bug in the apps that are using
'==' instead of .startswith(), but this allows us to unbreak broken
programs.

This patch adds a UNAME26 personality that makes the kernel report a
2.6.40+x version number instead.  The x is the x in 3.x.

I know this is somewhat ugly, but I didn't find a better workaround, and
compatibility to existing programs is important.

Some programs also read /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease.  This can be worked
around in user space with mount --bind (and a mount namespace)

To use:

  wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/ak/uname26/uname26.c
  gcc -o uname26 uname26.c
  ./uname26 program

24d406a6bf TTY: pty, fix pty counting
tty_operations->remove is normally called like:
queue_release_one_tty
 ->tty_shutdown
   ->tty_driver_remove_tty
     ->tty_operations->remove

However tty_shutdown() is called from queue_release_one_tty() only if
tty_operations->shutdown is NULL. But for pty, it is not.
pty_unix98_shutdown() is used there as ->shutdown.

So tty_operations->remove of pty (i.e. pty_unix98_remove()) is never
called. This results in invalid pty_count. I.e. what can be seen in
/proc/sys/kernel/pty/nr.

I see this was already reported at:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/5/370
But it was not fixed since then.

This patch is kind of a hackish way. The problem lies in ->install. We
allocate there another tty (so-called tty->link). So ->install is
called once, but ->remove twice, for both tty and tty->link. The fix
here is to count both tty and tty->link and divide the count by 2 for
user.

And to have ->remove called, let's make tty_driver_remove_tty() global
and call that from pty_unix98_shutdown() (tty_operations->shutdown).

While at it, let's document that when ->shutdown is defined,
tty_shutdown() is not called.

disabled such as configuration of the mux modes for the GPIO of host connected
to the nshutdown of the chip or relinquishing UART after the chip is disabled.

Similar actions can also be taken when the chip is in deep sleep or when the
chip is awake. Performance enhancements such as configuring the host to run
faster when chip is awake and slower when chip is asleep can also be made
here.

052605c6ca target: Make standard INQUIRY return 'not connected' for tpg_virt_lun0
This patch changes target_emulate_inquiry_std() to set the 'not connected'
(0x35) bit in standard INQUIRY response data when we are processing a
request to a virtual LUN=0 mapping from struct se_device *g_lun0_dev that
have been setup for us in transport_lookup_cmd_lun().

This addresses an issue where qla2xxx FC clients need to be able
to create demo-mode I_T FC Nexuses by default, but should not be
exposing the default set of TPG LUNs to all FC clients.  This includes
adding an new optional target_core_fabric_ops->tpg_check_demo_mode_login_only()
caller to allow demo_mode nexuses to skip the old default of bulding
a demo-mode MappedLUNs list via core_tpg_add_node_to_devs().

Revert the pass-good area introduced in ffd1f609ab ("writeback:

area smaller and safe.

This fixes ~30% performance regression in the ext3 data=writeback
fio_mmap_randwrite_64k/fio_mmap_randrw_64k test cases, where there are
12 JBOD disks, on each disk runs 8 concurrent tasks doing reads+writes.

Using deadline scheduler also has a regression, but not that big as CFQ,
so this suggests we have some write starvation.

The test logs show that

- the disks are sometimes under utilized

- global dirty pages sometimes rush high to the pass-good area for
  several hundred seconds, while in the mean time some bdi dirty pages
  drop to very low value (bdi_dirty << bdi_thresh).  Then suddenly the
  global dirty pages dropped under global dirty threshold and bdi_dirty
  rush very high (for example, 2 times higher than bdi_thresh). During
  which time balance_dirty_pages() is not called at all.

So the problems are

1) The random writes progress so slow that they break the assumption of
   the max-pause logic that "8 pages per 200ms is typically more than
   enough to curb heavy dirtiers".

2) The max-pause logic ignored task_bdi_thresh and thus opens the possibility
   for some bdi's to over dirty pages, leading to (bdi_dirty >> bdi_thresh)
   and then (bdi_thresh >> bdi_dirty) for others.

3) The higher max-pause/pass-good thresholds somehow leads to the bad
   swing of dirty pages.

The fix is to allow the task to slightly dirty over task_bdi_thresh, but
no way to exceed bdi_dirty and/or global dirty_thresh.

Tests show that it fixed the JBOD regression completely (both behavior
and performance), while still being able to cut down large pause times
in balance_dirty_pages() for single-disk cases.

4853abaae7 block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flags
Commit ae1b153962, block: reimplement
FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when
running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain
storage (in our case, an HP EVA).  The test I ran was fs_mark, and it
dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec.  It turns out
that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed
commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off.
The above commit changed that behavior:

static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q)
{
        struct request *rq;

        while (1) {
-               while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
+               if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
                        rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next);
-                       if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) ||
-                           (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ))
-                               return rq;
-                       rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq);
-                       if (rq)
-                               return rq;
+                       return rq;
                }

Note that previously, a command would come in here, have
REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush:

struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
{
        unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */
        bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA;
        bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH);
        bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags &
        REQ_FUA);
        unsigned skip = 0;
...
        if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) {
                rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH;
		if (!has_fua)
			rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA;
	        return rq;
	}

So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0
&& rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)).

Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all.  Instead,
__elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to
the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not
support flush or fua.

The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow
stacking.  While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one
request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush
flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and
make it function as designed.

In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request,
inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io).  Shaohua
had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data,
but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by
other drivers.  So, I didn't see a way around the additional field.

I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers
the lost performance.  Comments and other testers, as always, are
appreciated.

Cheers,
Jeff

72fa59970f move RLIMIT_NPROC check from set_user() to do_execve_common()
The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC
check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and
similar functions.

Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed
number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on
rlimit only.  But the check created new security threat: many poorly
written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it
cannot fail if executed with root privileges.  So, the check is removed
in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to
buggy programs.

The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons
spawning user processes.  Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve().
The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in
setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues.

Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the
limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag.  With the change only
this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve()
behaviour is not changed.

Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still
exceeded at the moment of execve().  If the process was sleeping for
days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down
under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was
exceeded days ago would be unexpected.  If the limit is not exceeded
anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork().

The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit
was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one.

Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag).

v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

c09c47caed blktrace: add FLUSH/FUA support
Add FLUSH/FUA support to blktrace. As FLUSH precedes WRITE and/or
FUA follows WRITE, use the same 'F' flag for both cases and
distinguish them by their (relative) position. The end results
look like (other flags might be shown also):

 - WRITE:            W
 - WRITE_FLUSH:      FW
 - WRITE_FUA:        WF
 - WRITE_FLUSH_FUA:  FWF

Note that we reuse TC_BARRIER due to lack of bit space of act_mask
so that the older versions of blktrace tools will report flush
requests as barriers from now on.
