ext4: Use tracepoints for mb_history trace file
The /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/mb_history was maintained manually, and had a
number of problems: it required a largish amount of memory to be
allocated for each ext4 filesystem, and the s_mb_history_lock
introduced a CPU contention problem.
By ripping out the mb_history code and replacing it with ftrace
tracepoints, and we get more functionality: timestamps, event
filtering, the ability to correlate mballoc history with other ext4
tracepoints, etc.

ext4: Use end_io callback to avoid direct I/O fallback to buffered I/O
Currently the DIO VFS code passes create = 0 when writing to the
middle of file. It does this to avoid block allocation for holes, so
as not to expose stale data out when there is a parallel buffered read
(which does not hold the i_mutex lock). Direct I/O writes into holes
falls back to buffered IO for this reason.
Since preallocated extents are treated as holes when doing a
get_block() look up (buffer is not mapped), direct IO over fallocate
also falls back to buffered IO. Thus ext4 actually silently falls
back to buffered IO in above two cases, which is undesirable.
To fix this, this patch creates unitialized extents when a direct I/O
write into holes in sparse files, and registering an end_io callback which
converts the uninitialized extent to an initialized extent after the
I/O is completed.

writeback: don't delay inodes redirtied by a fast dirtier
Debug traces show that in per-bdi writeback, the inode under writeback
almost always get redirtied by a busy dirtier. We used to call
redirty_tail() in this case, which could delay inode for up to 30s.
This is unacceptable because it now happens so frequently for plain cp/dd,
that the accumulated delays could make writeback of big files very slow.
So let's distinguish between data redirty and metadata only redirty.
The first one is caused by a busy dirtier, while the latter one could
happen in XFS, NFS, etc. when they are doing delalloc or updating isize.
The inode being busy dirtied will now be requeued for next io, while
the inode being redirtied by fs will continue to be delayed to avoid
repeated IO.

writeback: move inodes from one super_block together
__mark_inode_dirty adds inode to wb dirty list in random order. If a disk has
several partitions, writeback might keep spindle moving between partitions.
To reduce the move, better write big chunk of one partition and then move to
another. Inodes from one fs usually are in one partion, so idealy move indoes
from one fs together should reduce spindle move. This patch tries to address
this. Before per-bdi writeback is added, the behavior is write indoes
from one fs first and then another, so the patch restores previous behavior.

alpha: use .data.init_task instead of .data.init_thread.
alpha is the only architecture that uses the section name
.data.init_thread instead of .data.init_task. So convert alpha to use
.data.init_task like everything else.
.data.init_task does not need a separate output section; this change
also moves it into the .data output section.

Optimize the ordering of sections in RW_DATA_SECTION.
The old RW_DATA_SECTION had INIT_TASK_DATA (which was
more-than-PAGE_SIZE-aligned), followed by a bunch of small alignment
stuff, followed by more PAGE_SIZE-aligned stuff, so you wasted memory
in the middle of .data re-aligning back up to PAGE_SIZE.

This is because the driver manages interrupts without checking for
netif_running().
Though, there are few other issues with suspend/resume in this driver.
The intention of calling free_irq() in suspend() was to avoid any
possible spurious interrupts (see commit
5b039e681b8c5f30aac9cc04385
"3c59x PM fixes"). But,
- On resume, the driver was requesting IRQ just after pci_set_master(),
but before vortex_up() (which actually resets 3c59x chips).
- Issuing free_irq() on a shared IRQ doesn't guarantee that a buggy
HW won't trigger spurious interrupts in another driver that
requested the same interrupt. So, if we want to protect from
unexpected interrupts, then on suspend we should issue disable_irq(),
not free_irq().

Multicast joins can succeed even if the IB port is down. This happens
when the SM runs on the same port with the requesting port. However,
IPoIB calls netif_carrier_on() when the join of the broadcast group
succeeds, without caring about the state of the IB port. The result
is an IPoIB interface in RUNNING state but without an active IB port
to support it.
If a bonding interface uses this IPoIB interface as a slave it might
not detect that this slave is almost useless and failover
functionality will be damaged. The fix checks the state of the IB
port in the carrier_task before calling netif_carrier_on().

All other callers in module.c all protect it with an if; this effectively

param: allow whitespace as kernel parameter separator
Some boot mechanisms require that kernel parameters are stored in a
separate file which is loaded to memory without further processing
(e.g. the "Load from FTP" method on s390). When such a file contains
newline characters, the kernel parameter preceding the newline might
not be correctly parsed (due to the newline being stuck to the end of
the actual parameter value) which can lead to boot failures.
This patch improves kernel command line usability in such a situation
by allowing generic whitespace characters as separators between kernel
parameters.
