Ben Slusky 8217e4f4c9 [CPUFREQ] use deferrable delayed work init in conservative governor
Venki Pallipadi made a similar change to the ondemand governor a while
back (in commit 28287033e1). It seems to
work just as well in the conservative governor, leading to fewer wakeups
as reported by powertop.

1. arch/powerpc/platforms/pasemi/gpio_mdio.c also needs to be
   converted over to mdiobus_{alloc,free}().

2. drivers/net/phy/fixed.c used to embed a struct mii_bus into its
   struct fixed_mdio_bus and then use container_of() to go from the
   former to the latter.  Since mii bus structures are no longer
   embedded, we need to do something like use the mii bus private
   pointer to go from mii_bus to fixed_mdio_bus instead.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge eefb47f6a1 xen: use spin_lock_nest_lock when pinning a pagetable
When pinning/unpinning a pagetable with split pte locks, we can end up
holding multiple pte locks at once (we need to hold the locks while
there's a pending batched hypercall affecting the pte page).  Because
all the pte locks are in the same lock class, lockdep thinks that
we're potentially taking a lock recursively.

This warning is spurious because we always take the pte locks while
holding mm->page_table_lock.  lockdep now has spin_lock_nest_lock to
express this kind of dominant lock use, so use it here so that lockdep
knows what's going on.

Kiyoshi Ueda ef9e3facdf block: add lld busy state exporting interface
This patch adds an new interface, blk_lld_busy(), to check lld's
busy state from the block layer.
blk_lld_busy() calls down into low-level drivers for the checking
if the drivers set q->lld_busy_fn() using blk_queue_lld_busy().

This resolves a performance problem on request stacking devices below.

Some drivers like scsi mid layer stop dispatching request when
they detect busy state on its low-level device like host/target/device.
It allows other requests to stay in the I/O scheduler's queue
for a chance of merging.

Request stacking drivers like request-based dm should follow
the same logic.
However, there is no generic interface for the stacked device
to check if the underlying device(s) are busy.
If the request stacking driver dispatches and submits requests to
the busy underlying device, the requests will stay in
the underlying device's queue without a chance of merging.
This causes performance problem on burst I/O load.

With this patch, busy state of the underlying device is exported
via q->lld_busy_fn().  So the request stacking driver can check it
and stop dispatching requests if busy.

The underlying device driver must return the busy state appropriately:
    1: when the device driver can't process requests immediately.
    0: when the device driver can process requests immediately,
       including abnormal situations where the device driver needs
       to kill all requests.

Sven Schuetz c0ddffa84a include blktrace_api.h in headers_install
This header file is of interest for user space programming, i.e.
for tools that process blktrace data.

We would like to use it for a tool on-top of blktrace which processes
data provided by blktrace. For this purpose, it would be helpful
if the blktrace API would make it to /usr/include/linux.

The git tree for the blktrace tools comes with its own copy of this header
file. I didn't manage to replace that copy with the file generated
by the patch below yet. A few more cleanups would be needed.
For example, the blktrace ioctl numbers, which are currently defined in
usr/include/fs.h, might need to be moved. Should be feasible, though.

Keith Wansbrough 9e49184c82 floppy: support arbitrary first-sector numbers
The current floppy_struct allows floppies to number sectors starting
from 0 or 1.  This patch allows arbitrary first-sector numbers - for
example, 0xC1 for Amstrad CPC disks.

This extends the existing 1-bit field (FD_ZEROBASED, bit 2 of stretch)
to 8 bits (FD_SECTMASK, bits 2 to 9).

Currently 0x00 denotes a first sector number of 1, and 0x01 denotes a
first sector number of 0.  We extend this by interpreting FD_SECTMASK
as the first sector number with the LSB flipped.

Julia Lawall 061837bc86 drivers/block: Use DIV_ROUND_UP
The kernel.h macro DIV_ROUND_UP performs the computation (((n) + (d) - 1) /

scameron@beardog.cca.cpqcorp.net 905bd78f21 cciss: Fix cciss SCSI rescan code to better notice device changes
Fix cciss SCSI rescan code to better notice device changes.
If you hot-unplug a tape drive, then hot-plug a different
tape drive into the same slot in a storage enclosure,
the cciss driver wouldn't notice anything had changed, as
it was only looking at the LUN address and device type.
Now it looks at the inquiry page 0x83 device identifier,
and vendor and model strings as well.

Kiyoshi Ueda 4ee5eaf451 block: add a queue flag for request stacking support
This patch adds a queue flag to indicate the block device can be
used for request stacking.

Request stacking drivers need to stack their devices on top of
only devices of which q->request_fn is functional.
Since bio stacking drivers (e.g. md, loop) basically initialize
their queue using blk_alloc_queue() and don't set q->request_fn,
the check of (q->request_fn == NULL) looks enough for that purpose.

However, dm will become both types of stacking driver (bio-based and
request-based).  And dm will always set q->request_fn even if the dm
device is bio-based of which q->request_fn is not functional actually.
So we need something else to distinguish the type of the device.
Adding a queue flag is a solution for that.

The reason why dm always sets q->request_fn is to keep
the compatibility of dm user-space tools.
Currently, all dm user-space tools are using bio-based dm without
specifying the type of the dm device they use.
To use request-based dm without changing such tools, the kernel
must decide the type of the dm device automatically.
The automatic type decision can't be done at the device creation time
and needs to be deferred until such tools load a mapping table,
since the actual type is decided by dm target type included in
the mapping table.

So a dm device has to be initialized using blk_init_queue()
so that we can load either type of table.
Then, all queue stuffs are set (e.g. q->request_fn) and we have
no element to distinguish that it is bio-based or request-based,
even after a table is loaded and the type of the device is decided.

By the way, some stuffs of the queue (e.g. request_list, elevator)
are needless when the dm device is used as bio-based.
But the memory size is not so large (about 20[KB] per queue on ia64),
so I hope the memory loss can be acceptable for bio-based dm users.

Kiyoshi Ueda 82124d6035 block: add request submission interface
This patch adds blk_insert_cloned_request(), a generic request
submission interface for request stacking drivers.
Request-based dm will use it to submit their clones to underlying
devices.

blk_rq_check_limits() is also added because it is possible that
the lower queue has stronger limitations than the upper queue
if multiple drivers are stacking at request-level.
Not only for blk_insert_cloned_request()'s internal use, the function
will be used by request-based dm when the queue limitation is
modified (e.g. by replacing dm's table).

Kiyoshi Ueda 32fab448e5 block: add request update interface
This patch adds blk_update_request(), which updates struct request
with completing its data part, but doesn't complete the struct
request itself.
Though it looks like end_that_request_first() of older kernels,
blk_update_request() should be used only by request stacking drivers.

Request-based dm will use it in bio->bi_end_io callback to update
the original request when a data part of a cloned request completes.
Followings are additional background information of why request-based
dm needs this interface.

  - Request stacking drivers can't use blk_end_request() directly from
    the lower driver's completion context (bio->bi_end_io or rq->end_io),
    because some device drivers (e.g. ide) may try to complete
    their request with queue lock held, and it may cause deadlock.
    See below for detailed description of possible deadlock:
    <http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120311479108569&w=2>

  - To solve that, request-based dm offloads the completion of
    cloned struct request to softirq context (i.e. using
    blk_complete_request() from rq->end_io).

  - Though it is possible to use the same solution from bio->bi_end_io,
    it will delay the notification of bio completion to the original
    submitter.  Also, it will cause inefficient partial completion,
    because the lower driver can't perform the cloned request anymore
    and request-based dm needs to requeue and redispatch it to
    the lower driver again later.  That's not good.

  - So request-based dm needs blk_update_request() to perform the bio
    completion in the lower driver's completion context, which is more
    efficient.
