Stefan Weinhuber e4258d55bf [S390] dasd: use vmalloc for statistics input buffer
The size of the buffer that is used to store DASD statistics input
strings depends on the user input. If the input string is to large,
the write operation could fail with -ENOMEM. To avoid this, use
vmalloc instead of kmalloc.

Michael Holzheu 7dd6b3343f [S390] Add PSW restart shutdown trigger
With this patch a new S390 shutdown trigger "restart" is added. If under
z/VM "systerm restart" is entered or under the HMC the "PSW restart" button
is pressed, the PSW located at 0 (31 bit) or 0x1a0 (64 bit) bit is loaded.
Now we execute do_restart() that processes the restart action that is
defined under /sys/firmware/shutdown_actions/on_restart. Currently the
following actions are possible: reipl (default), stop, vmcmd, dump, and
dump_reipl.

Jan Glauber be8d97a540 [S390] qdio: 2nd stage retry on SIGA-W busy conditions
The SIGA-W may return with the busy bit set which means the device was
blocked. The busy loop which retries the SIGA-W for 100us may not be
long enough when running under a heavily loaded hypervisor.

Extend the retry mechanism by adding a longer second stage which retries
the SIGA-W for up to 10s. In difference to the first retry loop the second
stage is using mdelay to stop the cpu between the retries and thereby
avoid additional preassure in on the hypervisor.
If the second stage retry is successfull a device reset is avoided.

Mike Snitzer ed8b752bcc dm table: set flush capability based on underlying devices
DM has always advertised both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA flush capabilities
regardless of whether or not a given DM device's underlying devices
also advertised a need for them.

Block's flush-merge changes from 2.6.39 have proven to be more costly
for DM devices.  Performance regressions have been reported even when
DM's underlying devices do not advertise that they have a write cache.

Fix the performance regressions by configuring a DM device's flushing
capabilities based on those of the underlying devices' capabilities.

Jonathan Brassow b12d437b73 dm raid: support metadata devices
Add the ability to parse and use metadata devices to dm-raid.  Although
not strictly required, without the metadata devices, many features of
RAID are unavailable.  They are used to store a superblock and bitmap.

The role, or position in the array, of each device must be recorded in
its superblock.  This is to help with fault handling, array reshaping,
and sanity checks.  RAID 4/5/6 devices must be loaded in a specific order:
in this way, the 'array_position' field helps validate the correctness
of the mapping when it is loaded.  It can be used during reshaping to
identify which devices are added/removed.  Fault handling is impossible
without this field.  For example, when a device fails it is recorded in
the superblock.  If this is a RAID1 device and the offending device is
removed from the array, there must be a way during subsequent array
assembly to determine that the failed device was the one removed.  This
is done by correlating the 'array_position' field and the bit-field
variable 'failed_devices'.

Mikulas Patocka a6e50b409d dm snapshot: skip reading origin when overwriting complete chunk
If we write a full chunk in the snapshot, skip reading the origin device
because the whole chunk will be overwritten anyway.

This patch changes the snapshot write logic when a full chunk is written.
In this case:
  1. allocate the exception
  2. dispatch the bio (but don't report the bio completion to device mapper)
  3. write the exception record
  4. report bio completed

Callbacks must be done through the kcopyd thread, because callbacks must not
race with each other.  So we create two new functions:

  dm_kcopyd_prepare_callback: allocate a job structure and prepare the callback.
  (This function must not be called from interrupt context.)

  dm_kcopyd_do_callback: submit callback.
  (This function may be called from interrupt context.)

Performance test (on snapshots with 4k chunk size):
  without the patch:
    non-direct-io sequential write (dd):    17.7MB/s
    direct-io sequential write (dd):        20.9MB/s
    non-direct-io random write (mkfs.ext2): 0.44s

  with the patch:
    non-direct-io sequential write (dd):    26.5MB/s
    direct-io sequential write (dd):        33.2MB/s
    non-direct-io random write (mkfs.ext2): 0.27s

Mikulas Patocka d5b9dd04bd dm: ignore merge_bvec for snapshots when safe
Add a new flag DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL to struct mapped_device to indicate
whether the device can accept bios larger than the size its merge
function returns.  When set, use this to send large bios to snapshots
which can split them if necessary.  Snapshot I/O may be significantly
fragmented and this approach seems to improve peformance.

Before the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricted bio size to page size
if the underlying device had a merge function and the target didn't
provide a merge function.  After the patch, dm_set_device_limits
restricts bio size to page size if the underlying device has a merge
function, doesn't have DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL flag and the target doesn't
provide a merge function.

The snapshot target can't provide a merge function because when the merge
function is called, it is impossible to determine where the bio will be
remapped.  Previously this led us to impose a 4k limit, which we can
now remove if the snapshot store is located on a device without a merge
function.  Together with another patch for optimizing full chunk writes,
it improves performance from 29MB/s to 40MB/s when writing to the
filesystem on snapshot store.

If the snapshot store is placed on a non-dm device with a merge function
(such as md-raid), device mapper still limits all bios to page size.

Remove 'discards_supported' from the dm_table structure.  The same
information can be easily discovered from the table's target(s) in
dm_table_supports_discards().

Before this fix dm_table_supports_discards() would skip checking the
individual targets' 'discards_supported' flag if any one target in the
table didn't set num_discard_requests > 0.  Now the per-target
'discards_supported' flag is effective at insuring the final DM device
advertises discard support.  But, to be clear, targets that don't
support discards (!num_discard_requests) will not receive discard
requests.

Also DMWARN if a target sets 'discards_supported' override but forgets
to set 'num_discard_requests'.

Mikulas Patocka bb91bc7bac dm io: flush cpu cache with vmapped io
For normal kernel pages, CPU cache is synchronized by the dma layer.
However, this is not done for pages allocated with vmalloc. If we do I/O
to/from vmallocated pages, we must synchronize CPU cache explicitly.

Prior to doing I/O on vmallocated page we must call
flush_kernel_vmap_range to flush dirty cache on the virtual address.
After finished read we must call invalidate_kernel_vmap_range to
invalidate cache on the virtual address, so that accesses to the virtual
address return newly read data and not stale data from CPU cache.

This patch fixes metadata corruption on dm-snapshots on PA-RISC and
possibly other architectures with caches indexed by virtual address.

Mikulas Patocka 762a80d9fc dm snapshot: flush disk cache when merging
This patch makes dm-snapshot flush disk cache when writing metadata for
merging snapshot.

Without cache flushing the disk may reorder metadata write and other
data writes and there is a possibility of data corruption in case of
power fault.

Josh Boyer 7abdd34dbf watchdog: Cleanup WATCHDOG_CORE help text
The newly added WATCHDOG_CORE option is a bool, but the help text suggests
it can be built as a module.  Fix it up.

Mart Gerrits 6b01d30eef watchdog: Fix POST failure on ASUS P5N32-E SLI and similar boards
At present the module does not unset the NO_REBOOT bit upon shutdown, this
causes the BIOS to fail the POST once and reset. During the next boot it
displays the following error message:

***** Warning: System BOOT Fail *****
Your system last boot fail or POST interrupted.
Please enter setup to load default and reboot again.
Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP

With this patch the NO_REBOOT flag will be unset on shutdown and thus stop
this failure from occurring.

Tested on 'ASUS P5N32-E SLI with BIOS revision 1801' and
          'ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS with BIOS revision 1502'.

David Engraf bea1906620 watchdog: shwdt: fix usage of mod_timer
Fix the usage of mod_timer() and make the driver usable. mod_timer() must
be called with an absolute timeout in jiffies. The old implementation
used a relative timeout thus the hardware watchdog was never triggered.
