blkdev: flush disk cache on ->fsync
Currently there is no barrier support in the block device code. That
means we cannot guarantee any sort of data integerity when using the
block device node with dis kwrite caches enabled. Using the raw block
device node is a typical use case for virtualization (and I assume
databases, too). This patch changes block_fsync to issue a cache flush
and thus make fsync on block device nodes actually useful.
Note that in mainline we would also need to add such code to the
->aio_write method for O_SYNC handling, but assuming that Jan's patch
series for the O_SYNC rewrite goes in it will also call into ->fsync

aio: implement request batching
Hi,
Some workloads issue batches of small I/O, and the performance is poor

cfq-iosched: fairness for sync no-idle queues
Currently no-idle queues in cfq are not serviced fairly:
even if they can only dispatch a small number of requests at a time,
they have to compete with idling queues to be serviced, experiencing
large latencies.
We should notice, instead, that no-idle queues are the ones that would
benefit most from having low latency, in fact they are any of:
* processes with large think times (e.g. interactive ones like file
managers)
* seeky (e.g. programs faulting in their code at startup)
* or marked as no-idle from upper levels, to improve latencies of those
requests.
This patch improves the fairness and latency for those queues, by:
* separating sync idle, sync no-idle and async queues in separate
service_trees, for each priority
* service all no-idle queues together
* and idling when the last no-idle queue has been serviced, to
anticipate for more no-idle work
* the timeslices allotted for idle and no-idle service_trees are
computed proportionally to the number of processes in each set.
Servicing all no-idle queues together should have a performance boost
for NCQ-capable drives, without compromising fairness.

cfq-iosched: enable idling for last queue on priority class
cfq can disable idling for queues in various circumstances.
When workloads of different priorities are competing, if the higher
priority queue has idling disabled, lower priority queues may steal
its disk share. For example, in a scenario with an RT process
performing seeky reads vs a BE process performing sequential reads,
on an NCQ enabled hardware, with low_latency unset,
the RT process will dispatch only the few pending requests every full
slice of service for the BE process.
The patch solves this issue by always performing idle on the last
queue at a given priority class > idle. If the same process, or one
that can pre-empt it (so at the same priority or higher), submits a
new request within the idle window, the lower priority queue won't
dispatch, saving the disk bandwidth for higher priority ones.
Note: this doesn't touch the non_rotational + NCQ case (no hardware
to test if this is a benefit in that case).

cfq-iosched: adapt slice to number of processes doing I/O
When the number of processes performing I/O concurrently increases,
a fixed time slice per process will cause large latencies.
This patch, if low_latency mode is enabled, will scale the time slice
assigned to each process according to a 300ms target latency.
In order to keep fairness among processes:
* The number of active processes is computed using a special form of
running average, that quickly follows sudden increases (to keep latency low),
and decrease slowly (to have fairness in spite of rapid decreases of this
value).
To safeguard sequential bandwidth, we impose a minimum time slice

ltc4215/ltc4245: Discard obsolete detect methods
There is no point in implementing a detect callback for the LTC4215

tty: Avoid dropping ldisc_mutex over hangup tty re-initialization
A couple of people have hit the WARN_ON() in drivers/char/tty_io.c,
tty_open() that is unhappy about seeing the tty line discipline go away
during the tty hangup. See for example
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14255
and the reason is that we do the tty_ldisc_halt() outside the
ldisc_mutex in order to be able to flush the scheduled work without a
deadlock with vhangup_work.
However, it turns out that we can solve this particular case by
- using "cancel_delayed_work_sync()" in tty_ldisc_halt(), which waits
for just the particular work, rather than synchronizing with any
random outstanding pending work.
This won't deadlock, since the buf.work we synchronize with doesn't
care about the ldisc_mutex, it just flushes the tty ldisc buffers.
- realize that for this particular case, we don't need to wait for any
hangup work, because we are inside the hangup codepaths ourselves.
so as a result we can just drop the flush_scheduled_work() entirely, and
then move the tty_ldisc_halt() call to inside the mutex. That way we
never expose the partially torn down ldisc state to tty_open(), and hold
the ldisc_mutex over the whole sequence.

m32r: Fix IPI function calls for SMP
This patch fixes the m32r SMP kernel after 2.6.27.

> m32r: convert to generic helpers for IPI function calls
> commit
7b7426c8a615cf61df9a77b9df7d5b75d91e3fa0
In the above patch, a CALL_FUNC_SINGLE_IPI was newly introduced,
but the its IPI vector number was wrong in the patch code.
The m32r SMP kernel hanged-up during boot operation, because
the CPU_BOOT_IPI was called instead of CALL_FUNC_SINGLE_IPI
(CPU_BOOT_IPI had no side effect at that time because the 2nd
core had already been started up),
as a result, csd_unlock() was not called, then a dead lock
occurred in csd_lock_wait() after the detection of Compact Flash
memory as IDE generic disk.

ACPI: Fix bound checks for copy_from_user in the acpi /proc code
The ACPI /proc write() code takes an unsigned length argument like any write()
function, but then assigned it to a *signed* integer called "len".
Only after this is a sanity check for len done to make it not larger than 4.
Due to the type change a len < 0 is in principle also possible; this patch
adds a check for this.

[PATCH] ext4: retry failed direct IO allocations
On a 256M filesystem, doing this in a loop:
xfs_io -F -f -d -c 'pwrite 0 64m' test
rm -f test
eventually leads to ENOSPC. (the xfs_io command does a
64m direct IO write to the file "test")
As with other block allocation callers, it looks like we need to
potentially retry the allocations on the initial ENOSPC.

This fixes the following warning:
fs/ext4/inode.c: In function 'ext4_dirty_inode':
fs/ext4/inode.c:5615: warning: unused variable 'current_handle'
We remove the jbd_debug() statement which does use current_handle, as
it's not terribly important in the grand scheme of things.

ARM: 5728/1: Proper prefetch abort handling on ARMv6 and ARMv7
Currently, on ARMv6 and ARMv7, if an application tries to execute
code (or garbage) on non-executable page it hangs. It caused by
incorrect prefetch abort handling. Now every prefetch abort
processes as a translation fault.
To fix this we have to analyze instruction fault status register
to figure out reason why we've got the abort and process it
accordingly.
To make IFSR different from DFSR we set bit 31 which is reserved in
both IFSR and DFSR.
This patch also tries to protect from future hangs on unexpected
exceptions. An application will be killed if unexpected exception
type was received.

ARM: 5727/1: Pass IFSR register to do_PrefetchAbort()
Instruction fault status register, IFSR, was introduced on ARMv6 to
provide status information about the last insturction fault. It
needed for proper prefetch abort handling.
Now we have three prefetch abort model:
* legacy - for CPUs before ARMv6. They doesn't provide neither
IFSR nor IFAR. We simulate IFSR with section translation fault
status for them to generalize code;
* ARMv6 - provides IFSR, but not IFAR;
* ARMv7 - provides both IFSR and IFAR.

Commit
1522ac3ec95ff0230e7aa516f86b674fdf72866c
("Fix virtual to physical translation macro corner cases")
breaks the end of memory check in valid_phys_addr_range().
The modified expression results in the apparent /dev/mem size
being 2 bytes smaller than what it actually is.
This patch reworks the expression to correctly check the address,
while maintaining use of a valid address to __pa().

cfq-iosched: add a knob for desktop interactiveness
This is basically identical to what Vivek Goyal posted, but combined
into one and labelled 'desktop' instead of 'fairness'. The goal
is to continue to improve on the latency side of things as it relates
to interactiveness, keeping the questionable bits under this sysfs
tunable so it would be easy for throughput-only people to turn off.
Apart from adding the interactive sysfs knob, it also adds the
behavioural change of allowing slice idling even if the hardware
does tagged command queuing.
