When umount calls sync_filesystem(), we first do a WB_SYNC_NONE
writeback to kick off writeback of pending dirty inodes, then follow
that up with a WB_SYNC_ALL to wait for it. Since umount already holds
the sb s_umount mutex, WB_SYNC_NONE ends up doing nothing and all
writeback happens as WB_SYNC_ALL. This can greatly slow down umount,
since WB_SYNC_ALL writeback is a data integrity operation and thus
a bigger hammer than simple WB_SYNC_NONE. For barrier aware file systems
it's a lot slower.

Prior to 2.6.32, setting /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs disabled
periodic dirty writeback from kupdate. This got broken and now causes
excessive sys CPU usage if set to zero, as we'll keep beating on
schedule().

blk_init_queue() allocates the request_queue structure and then
initializes it as needed (request_fn, elevator, etc).
Split initialization out to blk_init_allocated_queue_node.
Introduce blk_init_allocated_queue wrapper function to model existing
blk_init_queue and blk_init_queue_node interfaces.
Export elv_register_queue to allow a newly added elevator to be
registered with sysfs. Export elv_unregister_queue for symmetry.
These changes allow DM to initialize a device's request_queue with more
precision. In particular, DM no longer unconditionally initializes a
full request_queue (elevator et al). It only does so for a
request-based DM device.

If dentry found stale happens to be a root of disconnected tree, we
can't d_drop() it; its d_hash is actually part of s_anon and d_drop()
would simply hide it from shrink_dcache_for_umount(), leading to
all sorts of fun, including busy inodes on umount and oopsen after
that.
Bug had been there since at least 2006 (commit c636eb already has it),
so it's definitely -stable fodder.

zero padding length, such as AUTH HMACS parameter and CHUNKS

ACPI _CRS Address Space Descriptors have _MIN, _MAX, and _LEN. Linux has
been computing Address Spaces as [_MIN to _MIN + _LEN - 1]. Based on the
tests in the bug reports below, Windows apparently uses [_MIN to _MAX].
Per spec (ACPI 4.0, Table 6-40), for _CRS fixed-size, fixed location
descriptors, "_LEN must be (_MAX - _MIN + 1)", and when that's true, it
doesn't matter which way we compute the end. But of course, there are
BIOSes that don't follow this rule, and we're better off if Linux handles
those exceptions the same way as Windows.
This patch makes Linux use [_MIN to _MAX], as Windows seems to do. This
effectively reverts d558b483d5 and 03db42adfe and replaces them with
simpler code.

Re-submitted based on comments from netdev community.
Summary of the changes:
1. Improved error handling.
2. Added the missing timeout arguments to usb_control_msg().
The following is a new Linux driver which exposes certain models of Sierra
Wireless modems to the operating system as Network Interface Cards (NICs).
This driver requires a version of the sierra.c driver which supports
blacklisting to work properly. The blacklist in sierra.c rejects the interfaces
claimed by sierra_net.c. Likewise, the sierra_net.c driver only accepts
(i.e. whitelists) the interface(s) used for USB-to-WWAN traffic.
The version of sierra.c which supports blacklisting is
available from the sierra wireless knowledge base page for older kernels. It is
also available in Linux kernel starting from version 2.6.31.
This driver works with all Sierra Wireless devices configured with PID=68A3
like USB305, USB306 provided the corresponding firmware version is I2.0
(for USB305) or M3.0 (for USB306) and later.
This driver will not work with earlier firmware versions than the ones shown
above. In this case the driver will issue an error message indicating
incompatibility and will not serve the device's USB-to-WWAN interface.
Sierra_net.c sits atop a pre-existing Linux driver called usbnet.c.
A series of hook functions are provided in sierra_net.c which are called by
usbnet.c in response to a particular condition such as receipt or transmission
of a data packet. As such, usbnet.c does most of the work of making
a modem appear to the system as a network device and for properly exchanging
traffic between the USB subsystem and the Network card interface.
Sierra_net.c is concerned with managing the data exchanged between the
USB-to-WWAN interface and the upper layers of the operating system.

When gracefully stopping the controller, the driver was continuing if
*either* RX or TX had stopped. We need to wait for both, or the
controller could get into an invalid state.

The request_key() system call and request_key_and_link() should make a
link from an existing key to the destination keyring (if supplied), not
just from a new key to the destination keyring.
This can be tested by:
ring=`keyctl newring fred @s`
keyctl request2 user debug:a a
keyctl request user debug:a $ring
keyctl list $ring
If it says:
keyring is empty
then it didn't work. If it shows something like:
1 key in keyring:
1070462727: --alswrv 0 0 user: debug:a
then it did.
request_key() system call is meant to recursively search all your keyrings for
the key you desire, and, optionally, if it doesn't exist, call out to userspace
to create one for you.
If request_key() finds or creates a key, it should, optionally, create a link
to that key from the destination keyring specified.
Therefore, if, after a successful call to request_key() with a desination
keyring specified, you see the destination keyring empty, the code didn't work
correctly.
If you see the found key in the keyring, then it did - which is what the patch
is required for.

Bill Gatliff reported the following bug when using the irq_chip facility
of the pca953x driver on a PPC platform:
BUG: scheduling while atomic: insmod/1530/0x00000002
He traced it back to an i2c transaction in pca953x_irq_set_type(), which
can be called with interrupt disabled (from __setup_irq()). As the i2c
controller can sleep while sending a message, this qualifies as a bad
idea.
This patch moves the i2c transaction to pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock(),
where it is actually safe to send an i2c message.

keyring_read() doesn't need to use rcu_dereference() to access the keyring
payload as the caller holds the key semaphore to prevent modifications
from happening whilst the data is read out.
This should solve the following warning:
===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
security/keys/keyring.c:204 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
other info that might help us debug this:

The bonding driver calls ndo_vlan_rx_register() while holding bond->lock.
The bnx2 driver calls bnx2_netif_stop() to stop the rx handling while
changing the vlgrp. The call also stops the cnic driver which sleeps
while the bond->lock is held and cause the warning.
This code path only needs to stop the NAPI rx handling while we are
changing the vlgrp. Since no reset is going to occur, there is no need
to stop cnic in this case. By adding a parameter to bnx2_netif_stop()
to skip stopping cnic, we can avoid the warning.

It has been reported that under certain heavy traffic conditions in MSI-X
mode, the driver can lose an MSI-X vector causing all packets in the
associated rx/tx ring pair to be dropped. The problem is caused by
the chip dropping the write to unmask the MSI-X vector by the kernel
(when migrating the IRQ for example).
This can be prevented by increasing the GRC timeout value for these
register read and write operations.
Thanks to Dell for helping us debug this problem.

In some Power7 platforms, when using VIOS (Virtual I/O Server), we
need to wait longer for control packets to finish transfer during
initialization.
Without this change, initialization may fail prematurely.
