f65647c29b Btrfs: fix free space cache leak
The free space caching code was recently reworked to
cache all the pages it needed instead of using find_get_page everywhere.

One loop was missed though, so it ended up leaking pages.  This fixes
it to use our page array instead of find_get_page.

24ecfbe27f block: add blk_run_queue_async
Instead of overloading __blk_run_queue to force an offload to kblockd
add a new blk_run_queue_async helper to do it explicitly.  I've kept
the blk_queue_stopped check for now, but I suspect it's not needed
as the check we do when the workqueue items runs should be enough.

1791f88143 posix clocks: Replace mutex with reader/writer semaphore
A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex.
However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock
operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes.

For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp
coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime
would have to wait for almost a whole second.

This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of
a mutex.

7c13edc875 md: incorporate new plugging into raid5.
In raid5 plugging is used for 2 things:
 1/ collecting writes that require a bitmap update
 2/ collecting writes in the hope that we can create full
    stripes - or at least more-full.

We now release these different sets of stripes when plug_cnt
is zero.

Also in make_request, we call mddev_check_plug to hopefully increase
plug_cnt, and wake up the thread at the end if plugging wasn't
achieved for some reason.

97658cdd3a md: provide generic support for handling unplug callbacks.
When an md device adds a request to a queue, it can call
mddev_check_plugged.
If this succeeds then we know that the md thread will be woken up
shortly, and ->plug_cnt will be non-zero until then, so some
processing can be delayed.

If it fails, then no unplug callback is expected and the make_request
function needs to do whatever is required to make the request happen.

482c083492 md - remove old plugging code.
md has some plugging infrastructure for RAID5 to use because the
normal plugging infrastructure required a 'request_queue', and when
called from dm, RAID5 doesn't have one of those available.

This relied on the ->unplug_fn callback which doesn't exist any more.

So remove all of that code, both in md and raid5.  Subsequent patches
with restore the plugging functionality.

99e22598e9 block: drop queue lock before calling __blk_run_queue() for kblockd punt
If we know we are going to punt to kblockd, we can drop the queue
lock before calling into __blk_run_queue() since it only does a
safe bit test and a workqueue call. Since kblockd needs to grab
this very lock as one of the first things it does, it's a good
optimization to drop the lock before waking kblockd.

0553c891fa ip6_pol_route panic: Do not allow VLAN on loopback
Several tests in the ipv6 routing code check IFF_LOOPBACK, and
allowing stacking such as VLAN'ing on top of loopback results in a
netdevice which reports IFF_LOOPBACK but really isn't the loopback

Instead of spamming the ipv6 routing code with even more special tests,
simply disallow VLAN over loopback.

86c74ab317 powerpc/perf_event: Skip updating kernel counters if register value shrinks
Because of speculative event roll back, it is possible for some event coutners
to decrease between reads on POWER7.  This causes a problem with the way that
counters are updated.  Delta calues are calculated in a 64 bit value and the
top 32 bits are masked.  If the register value has decreased, this leaves us
with a very large positive value added to the kernel counters.  This patch
protects against this by skipping the update if the delta would be negative.
This can lead to a lack of precision in the coutner values, but from my testing
the value is typcially fewer than 10 samples at a time.

127493d5dc powerpc/pseries: Use a kmem cache for DTL buffers
PAPR specifies that DTL buffers can not cross AMS environments (aka CMO
in the PAPR) and can not cross a memory entitlement granule boundary
(4k). This is found in section 14.11.3.2 H_REGISTER_VPA of the PAPR.
kmalloc does not guarantee an alignment of the allocation, though,
beyond 8 bytes (at least in my understanding). Create a special kmem
cache for DTL buffers with the alignment requirement.

d3b3e15da1 i2c-algo-bit: Call pre/post_xfer for bit_test
Apparently some distros set i2c-algo-bit.bit_test to 1 by
default.  In some cases this causes i2c_bit_add_bus
to fail and prevents the i2c bus from being added.  In the
radeon case, we fail to add the ddc i2c buses which prevents
the driver from being able to detect attached monitors.
The i2c bus works fine even if bit_test fails.  This is likely
due to gpio switching that is required and handled in the
pre/post_xfer hooks, so call the pre/post_xfer hooks in the
bit test as well.

49cac01e1f block: make unplug timer trace event correspond to the schedule() unplug
It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering
would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new
scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is.
It's essentially the difference between an explicit unplug (IO unplug)
or an implicit unplug (timer unplug, we scheduled with pending IO
queued).

a237c1c5bc block: let io_schedule() flush the plug inline
Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
we should be able to get the best of both worlds.

So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
and only use that from the schedule() path.

5bbc097d89 x86, amd: Disable GartTlbWlkErr when BIOS forgets it
This patch disables GartTlbWlk errors on AMD Fam10h CPUs if
the BIOS forgets to do is (or is just too old). Letting
these errors enabled can cause a sync-flood on the CPU
causing a reboot.

The AMD BKDG recommends disabling GART TLB Wlk Error completely.

This patch is the fix for

on my machine.

c1530019e3 vfs: Fix absolute RCU path walk failures due to uninitialized seq number
During RCU walk in path_lookupat and path_openat, the rcu lookup
frequently failed if looking up an absolute path, because when root
directory was looked up, seq number was not properly set in nameidata.

We dropped out of RCU walk in nameidata_drop_rcu due to mismatch in
directory entry's seq number.  We reverted to slow path walk that need
to take references.

With the following patch, I saw a 50% increase in an exim mail server
benchmark throughput on a 4-socket Nehalem-EX system.

df5d8c80f1 9p: revert tsyncfs related changes
Now that we use write_inode to flush server
cache related to fid, we don't need tsyncfs either fort dotl or dotu
protocols. For dotu this helps to do a more efficient server flush.
