In commit c7b28e25cb9beb943aead770ff14551b55fa8c79 the initialization of
the backblockbits was accidentally removed. This patch returns it back,
because otherwise some NAND drivers are broken.
This problem was reported by "Saxena, Parth <parth.saxena@ti.com>" here:

Introduce a common function to handle large, contiguous kmalloc buffer
allocations by exponentially backing off on the size of the requested
kernel transfer buffer until it succeeds or until the requested
transfer buffer size falls below the page size.
This helps ensure the operation can succeed under low-memory, highly-
fragmented situations albeit somewhat more slowly.
Artem: so this patch solves the problem that the kernel tries to kmalloc too
large buffers, which (a) may fail and does fail - people complain about this,
and (b) slows down the system in case of high memory fragmentation, because
the kernel starts dropping caches, writing back, swapping, etc. But we do not
really have to allocate a lot of memory to do the I/O, we may do this even with
as little as one min. I/O unit (NAND page) of RAM. So the idea of this patch is
that if the user asks to read or write a lot, we try to kmalloc a lot, with GFP
flags which make the kernel _not_ drop caches, etc. If we can allocate it - good,
if not - we try to allocate twice as less, and so on, until we reach the min.
I/O unit size, which is our last resort allocation and use the normal
GFP_KERNEL flag.
Artem: re-write the allocation function so that it makes sure the allocated
buffer is aligned to the min. I/O size of the flash.

nand_scan calls nand_scan_tail and here we got a ecc.layout and calculate
oobavail for this layout. After calling nand_scan, we change the layout pointer
if OMAP_ECC_HAMMING_CODE_HW_ROMCODE is set. This results in not calcluated
oobavail. Mountig as jffs2 is not possible.
To fix that nand_scan has to split up in nand_scan_ident and nand_scan_tail
setting ecc.layout between these calls. So nand_scan_tail calculates oobvail
for the used layout. This is also done in serveral other platforms.

The 'blktrans_open()' does not handle possible '__get_mtd_device()' failures
because it does not check the error code. Moreover, the 'dev->tr->open()'
failures are not handled correctly because in this case the function just
goes ahead and gets the mtd device, then returns an error. But Instead, it
should _not_ try to get the mtd device, then it should put back the module
and the kref.
This patch fixes the issue. Note, I only compile-tested it. This patch was
inspired by a bug report about a similar issue in 2.6.34 kernels
sent by Mike Turner <admin@islandsoftware.co.uk> to the MTD mailing list:

It is nicer to dynamically create our badblock patterns than to
statically define them. The nand_create_default_bbt_descr() function
does a sufficient job of handling various bad block scanning options
for either flash-based or non-flash-based BBTs, so we might as well
use the function for both cases.
This patch simplifies and shortens our code (and removes a TODO that
I left a few months ago).

Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time. This was unsafe
because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver. If
two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
overwritten.
This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
call of_match_device() directly instead.

If two drivers are probing devices at the same time, both will write
their match table result to the dev->of_match cache at the same time.
Only write the result if the device matches.
In a thread titled "SBus devices sometimes detected, sometimes not",
Meelis reported his SBus hme was not detected about 50% of the time.
From the debug suggested by Grant it was obvious another driver matched
some devices between the call to match the hme and the hme discovery
failling.

configfs_readdir() will use the existing inode numbers of inodes in the
dcache, but it makes them up for attribute files that aren't currently
instantiated. There is a race where a closing attribute file can be
tearing down at the same time as configfs_readdir() is trying to get its
inode number.
We want to get the inode number of open attribute files, because they
should match while instantiated. We can't lock down the transition
where dentry->d_inode is set to NULL, so we just check for NULL there.
We can, however, ensure that an inode we find isn't iput() in
configfs_d_iput() until after we've accessed it.

When configfs is faking mkdir() on its subsystem or default group
objects, it starts by adding a negative dentry. It then tries to
instantiate the group. If that should fail, it must clean up after
itself.
I was using d_delete() here, but configfs_attach_group() promises to
return an empty dentry on error. d_delete() explodes with the entry
dentry. Let's try d_drop() instead. The unhashing is what we want for
our dentry.

Let's check a scenario:
1. blk_delay_queue(q, SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY);
2. blk_run_queue_async();
the second one will became a noop, because q->delay_work already has
WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT set, so the delayed work will still run after
SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY. But blk_run_queue_async actually hopes the delayed
work runs immediately.
Fix this by doing a cancel on potentially pending delayed work
before queuing an immediate run of the workqueue.

os_dump_core() uses abort() to terminate UML in case of an fatal error.
glibc's abort() calls raise(SIGABRT) which makes use of tgkill().
tgkill() has no effect within UML's kernel threads because they are not
pthreads. As fallback abort() executes an invalid instruction to
terminate the process. Therefore UML gets killed by SIGSEGV and leaves a
ugly log entry in the host's kernel ring buffer.
To get rid of this we use our own abort routine.

put_unaligned_le16(temp, &target[j]); is never called for any

we put just zero (or maybe uninitialized) bytes into the target
buffer.

Trying to enable the local APIC timer on early K8 revisions
uncovers a number of other issues with it, in conjunction with
the C1E enter path on AMD. Fixing those causes much more churn
and troubles than the benefit of using that timer brings so
don't enable it on K8 at all, falling back to the original
functionality the kernel had wrt to that.

This reverts commit e20a2d205c05cef6b5783df339a7d54adeb50962, as it crashes
certain boxes with specific AMD CPU models.
Moving the lower endpoint of the Erratum 400 check to accomodate
earlier K8 revisions (A-E) opens a can of worms which is simply
not worth to fix properly by tweaking the errata checking
framework:
* missing IntPenging MSR on revisions < CG cause #GP:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=130541471818831
* makes earlier revisions use the LAPIC timer instead of the C1E
idle routine which switches to HPET, thus not waking up in
deeper C-states:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/24/20
Therefore, leave the original boundary starting with K8-revF.

Commit c21e6beb removed our queue request_fn re-enter
protection, and defaulted to always running the queues from
kblockd to be safe. This was a known potential slow down,
but should be safe.
Unfortunately this is causing big performance regressions for
some, so we need to improve this logic. Looking into the details
of the re-enter, the real issue is on requeue of requests.
Requeue of requests upon seeing a BUSY condition from the device
ends up re-running the queue, causing traces like this:
scsi_request_fn()
scsi_dispatch_cmd()
scsi_queue_insert()
__scsi_queue_insert()
scsi_run_queue()
scsi_request_fn()
...
potentially causing the issue we want to avoid. So special
case the requeue re-run of the queue, but improve it to offload
the entire run of local queue and starved queue from a single
workqueue callback. This is a lot better than potentially
kicking off a workqueue run for each device seen.
This also fixes the issue of the local device going into recursion,
since the above mentioned commit never moved that queue run out
of line.
