The protection interval is not necessarily tied to the logical block
size of a block device. Stop using the terms "sector" and "sectors".
Going forward we will use the term "seed" to describe the initial
reference tag value for a given I/O. "Interval" will be used to describe
the portion of the data buffer that a given piece of protection
information is associated with.

For commands like REQ_COPY we need a way to pass extra information along
with each bio. Like integrity metadata this information must be
available at the bottom of the stack so bi_private does not suffice.
Rename the existing bi_integrity field to bi_special and make it a union
so we can have different bio extensions for each class of command.
We previously used bi_integrity != NULL as a way to identify whether a
bio had integrity metadata or not. Introduce a REQ_INTEGRITY to be the
indicator now that bi_special can contain different things.
In addition, bio_integrity(bio) will now return a pointer to the
integrity payload (when applicable).

This patch supports to run one single flush machinery for
each blk-mq dispatch queue, so that:
- current init_request and exit_request callbacks can
cover flush request too, then the buggy copying way of
initializing flush request's pdu can be fixed
- flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue
In fio sync write test over virtio-blk(4 hw queues, ioengine=sync,
iodepth=64, numjobs=4, bs=4K), it is observed that througput gets
increased a lot over my test environment:
- throughput: +70% in case of virtio-blk over null_blk
- throughput: +30% in case of virtio-blk over SSD image
The multi virtqueue feature isn't merged to QEMU yet, and patches for
the feature can be found in below tree:
git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ming/qemu.git v2.1.0-mq.4
And simply passing 'num_queues=4 vectors=5' should be enough to
enable multi queue(quad queue) feature for QEMU virtio-blk.

It's not uncommon for crash dump kernels to be limited to 128MB or
something low in that area. This is normally not a problem for
devices as we don't use that much memory, but for some shared SCSI
setups with huge queue depths, it can potentially fill most of
memory with tons of request allocations. blk-mq does scale back
when it fails to allocate memory, but it scales back just enough
so that blk-mq succeeds. This could still leave the system with
not enough memory to make any real progress.

- The blk_clear_rq_complete() in blk_flush_restore_request()

it here may open a small race window with timeout.
- The blk_clear_rq_complete() in blk_mq_requeue_request() isn't

Also move the reset of cmd_flags for the initializing code to the point

Commit 9226b5b440 ("vfs: avoid non-forwarding large load after small
store in path lookup") made link_path_walk() always access the
"hash_len" field as a single 64-bit entity, in order to avoid mixed size
accesses to the members.
However, what I didn't notice was that that effectively means that the
whole "struct qstr this" is now basically redundant. We already
explicitly track the "const char *name", and if we just use "u64
hash_len" instead of "long len", there is nothing else left of the
"struct qstr".
We do end up wanting the "struct qstr" if we have a filesystem with a
"d_hash()" function, but that's a rare case, and we might as well then
just squirrell away the name and hash_len at that point.
End result: fewer live variables in the loop, a smaller stack frame, and
better code generation. And we don't need to pass in pointers variables
to helper functions any more, because the return value contains all the
relevant information. So this removes more lines than it adds, and the
source code is clearer too.

[fix] lustre: d_make_root() does iput() on dentry allocation failure
The performance regression that Josef Bacik reported in the pathname
lookup (see commit 99d263d4c5 "vfs: fix bad hashing of dentries") made
me look at performance stability of the dcache code, just to verify that
the problem was actually fixed. That turned up a few other problems in
this area.
There are a few cases where we exit RCU lookup mode and go to the slow
serializing case when we shouldn't, Al has fixed those and they'll come
in with the next VFS pull.
But my performance verification also shows that link_path_walk() turns
out to have a very unfortunate 32-bit store of the length and hash of
the name we look up, followed by a 64-bit read of the combined hash_len
field. That screws up the processor store to load forwarding, causing
an unnecessary hickup in this critical routine.
It's caused by the ugly calling convention for the "hash_name()"
function, and easily fixed by just making hash_name() fill in the whole
'struct qstr' rather than passing it a pointer to just the hash value.
With that, the profile for this function looks much smoother.

which was Cc-stable with 2.6.38+ as destination. This one should go where
it went.
To avoid dummy value returned in case when root is already set (it would do
no harm, actually, since the only caller that doesn't ignore the return value
is guaranteed to have nd->root *not* set, but it's more obvious that way),
lift the check into callers. And do the same to set_root(), to keep them
in sync.

I pulled the lot today from Jason, but it has been in -next for at
least a week"
* 'irq-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
irqchip: gic-v3: Declare rdist as __percpu pointer to __iomem pointer

irqchip: gic-v3: Tag all low level accessors __maybe_unused
irqchip: gic-v3: Only define gic_peek_irq() when building SMP
The NTB translate register must have the value to be BAR size aligned.
This alignment check make sure that the DMA memory allocated has the
proper alignment. Another requirement for NTB to function properly with
memory window BAR size greater or equal to 4M is to use the CMA feature
in 3.16 kernel with the appropriate CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT and
CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES set.
