When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it
considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are
not zeroed out. The fact that parts of the inode table are
uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors,
which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has
been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group
checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and
the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to
report false problems.
Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon
as possble. This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely
use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting
file systems.
This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is
created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed. There
is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the
first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit
thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the
request list.
This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up
scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule
time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to
zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with
the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10). We are doing
this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no
longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate
structures and exits (and can be created later later by another
filesystem).
We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not
care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we
have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode
allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we
take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem
in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the
group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait.
This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable.

ext4_group_info structures are currently allocated with kmalloc().
With a typical 4K block size, these are 136 bytes each -- meaning
they'll each consume a 256-byte slab object. On a system with many
ext4 large partitions, that's a lot of wasted kernel slab space.
(E.g., a single 1TB partition will have about 8000 block groups, using
about 2MB of slab, of which nearly 1MB is wasted.)
This patch creates an array of slab pointers created as needed --
depending on the superblock block size -- and uses these slabs to
allocate the group info objects.

This fixes a hang seen in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode
on a lot of Power 6 systems running with ext4. When we get
in the hung state, all I/O to the disk in question gets blocked
where we stay indefinitely. Looking at the task list, I can see
we are stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode waiting on a
wake up. I added some debug code to detect this scenario and
dump additional data if we were stuck in jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode
for longer than 30 minutes. When it hit, I was able to see that
i_flags was 0, suggesting we missed the wake up.
This patch changes i_flags to be an unsigned long, uses bit operators
to access it, and adds barriers around the accesses. Prior to applying
this patch, we were regularly hitting this hang on numerous systems
in our test environment. After applying the patch, the hangs no longer
occur.

It turns out we have several problems with how EOFBLOCKS_FL is
handled. First of all, there was a fencepost error where we were not
clearing the EOFBLOCKS_FL when fill in the last uninitialized block,
but rather when we allocate the next block _after_ the uninitalized
block. Secondly we were not testing to see if we needed to clear the
EOFBLOCKS_FL when writing to the file O_DIRECT or when were converting
an uninitialized block (which is the most common case).

libata depends on scsi_host_template for module reference counting and
sht's should be owned by each low level driver. During libahci split,
the sht was left with libahci.ko leaving the actual low level drivers
not reference counted. This made ahci and ahci_platform always
unloadable even while they're being actively used.
Fix it by defining AHCI_SHT() macro in ahci.h and defining a sht for
each low level ahci driver.

Commit e40cc4bdfd introduced
a build breakage if CONFIG_SMP is undefined. This commit
fixes the problem.
This fix is only a workaround. For a real fix, cpu_sibling_mask() should
be defined in UP include code, eg in linux/smp.h, and asm/smp.h should not be
included directly. This fix is currently not possible because asm/smp.h defines
cpu_sibling_mask() unconditionally and is included directly from many source
files.

x86: Avoid 'constant_test_bit()' misoptimization due to cast to non-volatile
Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603
tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write
zero bytes, for example.
There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works. It
wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return
value.
However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and
thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger
false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'.

The PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS device ioctl retrieves a pointer to a
pktcdvd_device from the global pkt_devs array. The index into this
array is provided directly by the user and is a signed integer, so the
comparison to ensure that it falls within the bounds of this array will
fail when provided with a negative index.
This can be used to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a crash due to
an invalid pointer dereference. This can be exploited by users with
permission to open /dev/pktcdvd/control (on many distributions, this is
readable by group "cdrom").

When the interface is up, using ethtool breaks it because:
a) link is put down but media_timer interval is not shortened to NO_LINK
b) rxtx is stopped but not restarted
Also manual 10baseT-HD (and probably FD too - untested) mode does not work -
the link is forced up, packets are transmitted but nothing is received.
Changing CSR14 value to match documentation (not disabling link check) fixes this.

i.e. outside of code paths run when the device is not yet enabled or
already disabled. In particular, putting the device into D3hot is a
pretty bad idea when it was already brought up.
Furthermore, all prior callers of the function made sure they're
actually dealing with a PCI device, while the newly added one didn't.
In the same spirit, the .get_wol handler shouldn't indicate support
for WOL for non-PCI devices.
