8a8bc22332 libata: revert convert-to-block-tagging patches
This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to
use block layer tagging.

 43a49cbdf3
 e013e13bf6
 2fca5ccf97

Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the
tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and
hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with
the current conversion.

The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for
non-NCQ commands.  Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI
starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made.  I'm not
sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it
doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the
frailty of ATA controllers.

So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc
allocation.

058e3739f6 clarify usage expectations for cnt32_to_63()
Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU
architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user
mode preemption is disabled already.  It is nevertheless a good idea to
better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit
memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter
value in the wrong order.  On UP a simple compiler barrier is
sufficient.

__scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list

Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again.

There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur.

The idea for how to fix this is from Linus.  Basically, we do all of

objects hit by an fput().  Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we
keep running the list until it is empty.

7597bc94d6 Fix accidental implicit cast in HR-timer conversion
Fix the hrtimer_add_expires_ns() function.  It should take a 'u64 ns' argument,
but rather takes an 'unsigned long ns' argument - which might only be 32-bits.

On FRV, this results in the kernel locking up because hrtimer_forward() passes
the result of a 64-bit multiplication to this function, for which the compiler
discards the top 32-bits - something that didn't happen when ktime_add_ns() was
called directly.

fat_save_attrs() - saves FAT attributes to inode.

Then this replaces: MSDOS_MKMODE() by fat_make_mode(), fat_attr() by

And for root inode, those is used with ATTR_DIR instead of bogus

2d3854a37e cpumask: introduce new API, without changing anything
Impact: introduce new APIs

We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for
gynormous numbers of CPUs.  Eventually, we want to head towards an
undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack.

1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies.
   (cpus_* -> cpumask_*)

2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks
   (cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and)

3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS
   (cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var)

4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code.

5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant),
   not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations
   in future.

6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually
   (for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask'
   definition eventually.

7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old
   cpumask for current thread and manipulating it.

8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except
   taking a cpumask pointer.

Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves
the obsolescent ones in place.  This is to simplify the transition
patches.

9fcd18c9e6 sched: re-tune balancing
Impact: improve wakeup affinity on NUMA systems, tweak SMP systems

Given the fixes+tweaks to the wakeup-buddy code, re-tweak the domain
balancing defaults on NUMA and SMP systems.

Turn on SD_WAKE_AFFINE which was off on x86 NUMA - there's no reason
why we would not want to have wakeup affinity across nodes as well.
(we already do this in the standard NUMA template.)

lat_ctx on a NUMA box is particularly happy about this change:

before:

 |   phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
 |   "size=0k ovr=2.60
 |   2 5.70

after:

 |   phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
 |   "size=0k ovr=2.65
 |   2 2.07

a 2.75x speedup.

pipe-test is similarly happy about it too:

 |  phoenix:~/sched-tests> ./pipe-test
 |   18.26 usecs/loop.
 |   14.70 usecs/loop.
 |   14.38 usecs/loop.
 |   10.55 usecs/loop.              # +WAKE_AFFINE on domain0+domain1
 |   8.63 usecs/loop.
 |   8.59 usecs/loop.
 |   9.03 usecs/loop.
 |   8.94 usecs/loop.
 |   8.96 usecs/loop.
 |   8.63 usecs/loop.

Also:

 - disable SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE on NUMA and SMP domains (keep it for siblings)
 - enable SD_WAKE_BALANCE on SMP domains

Sysbench+postgresql improves all around the board, quite significantly:

           .28-rc3-11474e2c  .28-rc3-11474e2c-tune

    1:             571              688    +17.08%

467622ef2a [MTD] [NOR] Fix cfi_send_gen_cmd handling of x16 devices in x8 mode (v4)
For "unlock" cycles to 16bit devices in 8bit compatibility mode we need
to use the byte addresses 0xaaa and 0x555. These effectively match
the word address 0x555 and 0x2aa, except the latter has its low bit set.

Most chips don't care about the value of the 'A-1' pin in x8 mode,
but some -- like the ST M29W320D -- do. So we need to be careful to
set it where appropriate.

cfi_send_gen_cmd is only ever passed addresses where the low byte
is 0x00, 0x55 or 0xaa. Of those, only addresses ending 0xaa are
affected by this patch, by masking in the extra low bit when the device
is known to be in compatibility mode.

[dwmw2: Do it only when (cmd_ofs & 0xff) == 0xaa]
v4: Fix  stupid typo in cfi_build_cmd_addr that failed to compile
    I'm writing this patch way to late at night.
v3: Bring all of the work back into cfi_build_cmd_addr
    including calling of map_bankwidth(map) and cfi_interleave(cfi)
    So every caller doesn't need to.
v2: Only modified the address if we our device_type is larger than our
    bus width.

9b22ea5609 net: fix packet socket delivery in rx irq handler
The changes to deliver hardware accelerated VLAN packets to packet

The __vlan_hwaccel_rx() function is called directly from the drivers
RX function, for non-NAPI drivers that means its still in RX IRQ
context:

Split hardware accelerated VLAN reception into two parts to fix this:

- __vlan_hwaccel_rx just stores the VLAN TCI and performs the VLAN
  device lookup, then calls netif_receive_skb()/netif_rx()

- vlan_hwaccel_do_receive(), which is invoked by netif_receive_skb()
  in softirq context, performs the real reception and delivery to
  packet sockets.

9663f2e6a6 resources: add io-mapping functions to dynamically map large device apertures
Impact: add new generic io_map_*() APIs

Graphics devices have large PCI apertures which would consume a significant
fraction of a 32-bit address space if mapped during driver initialization.
Using ioremap at runtime is impractical as it is too slow.

This new set of interfaces uses atomic mappings on 32-bit processors and a
large static mapping on 64-bit processors to provide reasonable 32-bit
performance and optimal 64-bit performance.

The current implementation sits atop the io_map_atomic fixmap-based
mechanism for 32-bit processors.

This includes some editorial suggestions from Randy Dunlap for
Documentation/io-mapping.txt

9ce8e3073d libata: add whitelist for devices with known good pata-sata bridges
libata currently imposes a UDMA5 max transfer rate and 200 sector max
transfer size for SATA devices that sit behind a pata-sata bridge. Lots
of devices have known good bridges that don't need this limit applied.
The MTRON SSD disks are such devices. Transfer rates are increased by
20-30% with the restriction removed.

So add a "blacklist" entry for the MTRON devices, with a flag indicating
that the bridge is known good.

c132419e56 gianfar: Fix race in TBI/SerDes configuration
The init_phy() function attaches to the PHY, then configures the
SerDes<->TBI link (in SGMII mode).  The TBI is on the MDIO bus with the PHY
(sort of) and is accessed via the gianfar's MDIO registers, using the
functions gfar_local_mdio_read/write(), which don't do any locking.

The previously attached PHY will start a work-queue on a timer, and
probably an irq handler as well, which will talk to the PHY and thus use
the MDIO bus.  This uses phy_read/write(), which have locking, but not
against the gfar_local_mdio versions.

The result is that PHY code will try to use the MDIO bus at the same time
as the SerDes setup code, corrupting the transfers.

Setting up the SerDes before attaching to the PHY will insure that there is
no race between the SerDes code and *our* PHY, but doesn't fix everything.
Typically the PHYs for all gianfar devices are on the same MDIO bus, which
is associated with the first gianfar device.  This means that the first
gianfar's SerDes code could corrupt the MDIO transfers for a different
gianfar's PHY.

The lock used by phy_read/write() is contained in the mii_bus structure,
which is pointed to by the PHY.  This is difficult to access from the
gianfar drivers, as there is no link between a gianfar device and the
mii_bus which shares the same MDIO registers.  As far as the device layer
and drivers are concerned they are two unrelated devices (which happen to
share registers).

Generally all gianfar devices' PHYs will be on the bus associated with the
first gianfar.  But this might not be the case, so simply locking the
gianfar's PHY's mii bus might not lock the mii bus that the SerDes setup
code is going to use.

We solve this by having the code that creates the gianfar platform device
look in the device tree for an mdio device that shares the gianfar's
registers.  If one is found the ID of its platform device is saved in the
gianfar's platform data.

A new function in the gianfar mii code, gfar_get_miibus(), can use the bus
ID to search through the platform devices for a gianfar_mdio device with
the right ID.  The platform device's driver data is the mii_bus structure,
which the SerDes setup code can use to lock the current bus.

731572d39f nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash
Junjiro R.  Okajima reported a problem where knfsd crashes if you are
using it to export shmemfs objects and run strict overcommit.  In this
situation the current->mm based modifier to the overcommit goes through a
NULL pointer.

We could simply check for NULL and skip the modifier but we've caught
other real bugs in the past from mm being NULL here - cases where we did
need a valid mm set up (eg the exec bug about a year ago).

To preserve the checks and get the logic we want shuffle the checking
around and add a new helper to the vm_ security wrappers

Also fix a current->mm reference in nommu that should use the passed mm

7106a27b52 kernel.h: fix might_sleep kernel-doc
Put the kernel-doc for might_sleep() _immediately_ before the macro
(no intervening lines).  Otherwise kernel-doc complains like so:

Warning(linux-2.6.27-rc3-git2//include/linux/kernel.h:129): No description found for parameter 'file'
Warning(linux-2.6.27-rc3-git2//include/linux/kernel.h:129): No description found for parameter 'line'

because kernel-doc is looking at the wrong function prototype (i.e.,
__might_sleep).  [Yes, I have a todo note to myself to check/warn for that
inconsistency in scripts/kernel-doc.]

0833422274 mm: increase the default mlock limit from 32k to 64k
By default, non-privileged tasks can only mlock() a small amount of
memory to avoid a DoS attack by ordinary users.  The Linux kernel
defaulted to 32k (on a 4k page size system) to accommodate the needs of
gpg.

However, newer gpg2 needs 64k in various circumstances and otherwise
fails miserably, see bnc#329675.

Change the default to 64k, and make it more agnostic to PAGE_SIZE.
