Keep track of the link on the which the current request is in progress.
It allows support of links behind port multiplier.
Not all libata-sff is PMP compliant. Code for native BMDMA controller
does not take in accound PMP.

For some mysterious reason, certain hardware reacts badly to usual EH
actions while the system is going for suspend. As the devices won't
be needed until the system is resumed, ask EH to skip usual autopsy
and recovery and proceed directly to suspend.

is low and kswapd is awake
Ordinarily watermark checks are based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES as it is
cheaper than scanning a number of lists. To avoid synchronization
overhead, counter deltas are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained
both periodically and when the delta is above a threshold. On large CPU
systems, the difference between the estimated and real value of
NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. If NR_FREE_PAGES is much higher than
number of real free page in buddy, the VM can allocate pages below min
watermark, at worst reducing the real number of pages to zero. Even if
the OOM killer kills some victim for freeing memory, it may not free
memory if the exit path requires a new page resulting in livelock.
This patch introduces a zone_page_state_snapshot() function (courtesy of
Christoph) that takes a slightly more accurate view of an arbitrary vmstat
counter. It is used to read NR_FREE_PAGES while kswapd is awake to avoid
the watermark being accidentally broken. The estimate is not perfect and
may result in cache line bounces but is expected to be lighter than the
IPI calls necessary to continually drain the per-cpu counters while kswapd
is awake.

Tests with recent firmware on Intel X25-M 80GB and OCZ Vertex 60GB SSDs
show a shift since I last tested in December: in part because of firmware
updates, in part because of the necessary move from barriers to awaiting
completion at the block layer. While discard at swapon still shows as
slightly beneficial on both, discarding 1MB swap cluster when allocating
is now disadvanteous: adds 25% overhead on Intel, adds 230% on OCZ (YMMV).
Surrender: discard as presently implemented is more hindrance than help
for swap; but might prove useful on other devices, or with improvements.
So continue to do the discard at swapon, but make discard while swapping
conditional on a SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD to sys_swapon() (which has been using
only the lower 16 bits of int flags).
We can add a --discard or -d to swapon(8), and a "discard" to swap in
/etc/fstab: matching the mount option for btrfs, ext4, fat, gfs2, nilfs2.

Please revert 2.6.36-rc commit d2997b1042ec150616c1963b5e5e919ffd0b0ebf
"hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation". It complicated matters by
adding a second swap allocation path, just for hibernation; without in any
way fixing the issue that it was intended to address - page reclaim after
fixing the hibernation image might free swap from a page already imaged as
swapcache, letting its swap be reallocated to store a different page of
the image: resulting in data corruption if the imaged page were freed as
clean then swapped back in. Pages freed to si->swap_map were still in
danger of being reallocated by the alternative allocation path.
I guess it inadvertently fixed slow SSD swap allocation for hibernation,
as reported by Nigel Cunningham: by missing out the discards that occur on
the usual swap allocation path; but that was unintentional, and needs a
separate fix.

Replace the arbitrary software-reset call from the device-probe
method, because:
- It is defective. To work correctly, it should be two byte writes,
not a single word write. As it stands, it does nothing.
- Some devices with sx150x expanders installed have their NRESET pins
ganged on the same line, so resetting one causes the others to reset -
not a nice thing to do arbitrarily!
- The probe, usually taking place at boot, implies a recent hard-reset,
so a software reset at this point is just a waste of energy anyway.
Therefore, make it optional, defaulting to off, as this will match the
common case of probing at powerup and also matches the current broken
no-op behavior.

The pte_same check is reliable only if the swap entry remains pinned (by
the page lock on swapcache). We've also to ensure the swapcache isn't
removed before we take the lock as try_to_free_swap won't care about the
page pin.
One of the possible impacts of this patch is that a KSM-shared page can
point to the anon_vma of another process, which could exit before the page
is freed.
This can leave a page with a pointer to a recycled anon_vma object, or
worse, a pointer to something that is no longer an anon_vma.

Add cgroup_attach_task_all()
The existing cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() API is called by a thread to
attach another thread to all of its cgroups; this is unsuitable for cases
where a privileged task wants to attach itself to the cgroups of a less
privileged one, since the call must be made from the context of the target
task.
This patch adds a more generic cgroup_attach_task_all() API that allows
both the source task and to-be-moved task to be specified.
cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() becomes a specialization of the more
generic new function.

The introduction of support for SD combo cards breaks the initialization
of all CSR SDIO chips. The GO_IDLE (CMD0) in mmc_sd_get_cid() causes CSR
chips to be reset (this is non-standard behavior).
When initializing an SDIO card check for a combo card by using the memory
present bit in the R4 response to IO_SEND_OP_COND (CMD5). This avoids the
call to mmc_sd_get_cid() on an SDIO-only card.

lg_lock_global() currently only acquires spinlocks for online CPUs, but
it's meant to lock all possible CPUs. Lglock-protected resources may be
associated with removed CPUs - and, indeed, that could happen with the
per-superblock open files lists.
At Nick's suggestion, change for_each_online_cpu() to
for_each_possible_cpu() to protect accesses to those resources.

cwq->nr_active is used to keep track of how many work items are active
for the cpu workqueue, where 'active' is defined as either pending on
global worklist or executing. This is used to implement the
max_active limit and workqueue freezing. If a work item is queued
after nr_active has already reached max_active, the work item doesn't
increment nr_active and is put on the delayed queue and gets activated
later as previous active work items retire.
try_to_grab_pending() which is used in the cancellation path
unconditionally decremented nr_active whether the work item being
cancelled is currently active or delayed, so cancelling a delayed work
item makes nr_active underflow. This breaks max_active enforcement
and triggers BUG_ON() in destroy_workqueue() later on.
This patch fixes this bug by adding a flag WORK_STRUCT_DELAYED, which
is set while a work item in on the delayed list and making
try_to_grab_pending() decrement nr_active iff the work item is
currently active.
The addition of the flag enlarges cwq alignment to 256 bytes which is
getting a bit too large. It's scheduled to be reduced back to 128
bytes by merging WORK_STRUCT_PENDING and WORK_STRUCT_CWQ in the next
devel cycle.

It is possible that the BIOS will not grant control of all _OSC
features requested via acpi_pci_osc_control_set(), so it is
recommended to negotiate the final set of _OSC features with the
query flag set before calling _OSC to request control of these
features.
To implement it, rework acpi_pci_osc_control_set() so that the caller
can specify the mask of _OSC control bits to negotiate and the mask
of _OSC control bits that are absolutely necessary to it. Then,
acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will run _OSC queries in a loop until
the mask of _OSC control bits returned by the BIOS is equal to the
mask passed to it. Also, before running the _OSC request
acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will check if the caller's required
control bits are present in the final mask.
Using this mechanism we will be able to avoid situations in which the
BIOS doesn't grant control of certain _OSC features, because they
depend on some other _OSC features that have not been requested.

Now that the worklist is global, having works pending after wq
destruction can easily lead to oops and destroy_workqueue() have
several BUG_ON()s to catch these cases. Unfortunately, BUG_ON()
doesn't tell much about how the work became pending after the final
flush_workqueue().
This patch adds WQ_DYING which is set before the final flush begins.
If a work is requested to be queued on a dying workqueue,
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered and the request is ignored. This clearly
indicates which caller is trying to queue a work on a dying workqueue
and keeps the system working in most cases.
Locking rule comment is updated such that the 'I' rule includes
modifying the field from destruction path.

Break the kobject namespace defs into their own header to avoid a header file
inclusion ordering problem between linux/sysfs.h and linux/kobject.h.
This fixes the build breakage on older versions of gcc.

Currently drivers must do an elevator_exit() + elevator_init()
to switch IO schedulers. There are a few problems with this:
- Since commit 1abec4fdbb142e3ccb6ce99832fae42129134a96,
elevator_init() requires a zeroed out q->elevator
pointer. The two existing in-kernel users don't do that.
- It will only work at initialization time, since using the
above two-staged construct does not properly quisce the queue.
So add elevator_change() which takes care of this, and convert
the elv_iosched_store() sysfs interface to use this helper as well.

__packed is only defined in kernel space, so we should use
__attribute__((packed)) for the code shared between kernel and user space.
Two __attribute() annotations are replaced with __attribute__() too.

When an fanotify listener is closing it may cause a deadlock between the
listener and the original task doing an fs operation. If the original task
is waiting for a permissions response it will be holding the srcu lock. The
listener cannot clean up and exit until after that srcu lock is syncronized.
Thus deadlock. The fix introduced here is to stop accepting new permissions
events when a listener is shutting down and to grant permission for all
outstanding events. Thus the original task will eventually release the srcu
lock and the listener can complete shutdown.

It's a really simple list, and several of the users want to go backwards
in it to find the previous vma. So rather than have to look up the
previous entry with 'find_vma_prev()' or something similar, just make it
doubly linked instead.

Recent modprobe and udev versions allow to create device nodes
for modules which are not loaded. Only the first access will cause
the in-kernel module loader to pull-in the module. Systems which
never access the device node will not needlessly load the module,
and no longer need init scripts or other facilities to unconditionally
load it.

Since handle_sysrq() does not take tty as argument anymore we can
drop it from usb_serial_handle_sysrq_char() as well.
