virtio: Decrement avail idx on buffer detach
When detaching a buffer from a vq, the avail.idx value should be
decremented as well.
This was noticed by hot-unplugging a virtio console port and then
plugging in a new one on the same number (re-using the vqs which were
just 'disowned'). qemu reported
'Guest moved used index from 0 to 256'
when any IO was attempted on the new port.

Open with O_CREAT flag set fails to open existing files on non writable directories
An open on a NFS4 share using the O_CREAT flag on an existing file for
which we have permissions to open but contained in a directory with no
write permissions will fail with EACCES.
A tcpdump shows that the client had set the open mode to UNCHECKED which
indicates that the file should be created if it doesn't exist and
encountering an existing flag is not an error. Since in this case the
file exists and can be opened by the user, the NFS server is wrong in
attempting to check create permissions on the parent directory.
The patch adds a conditional statement to check for create permissions
only if the file doesn't exist.

xen: mask_rw_pte: do not apply the early_ioremap checks on x86_32
The two "is_early_ioremap_ptep" checks in mask_rw_pte are only used on
x86_64, in fact early_ioremap is not used at all to setup the initial
pagetable on x86_32.
Moreover on x86_32 the two checks are wrong because the range
pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end initially should be mapped RW because
the pages in the range are not pagetable pages yet and haven't been
cleared yet. Afterwards considering the pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end is
part of the initial mapping, xen_alloc_pte is capable of turning
the ptes RO when they become pagetable pages.
Fix the issue and improve the readability of the code providing two
different implementation of mask_rw_pte for x86_32 and x86_64.

md: Fix dev_sectors on takeover from raid0 to raid4/5
A raid0 array doesn't set 'dev_sectors' as each device might
contribute a different number of sectors.
So when converting to a RAID4 or RAID5 we need to set dev_sectors
as they need the number.
We have already verified that in fact all devices do contribute
the same number of sectors, so use that number.
We previously needed to set ->queue_lock to match the raid5
device_lock so we could safely use queue_flag_* operations (e.g. for
plugging). which test the ->queue_lock is in fact locked.
However that need has completely gone away and is unlikely to come
back to remove this now-pointless setting.

next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed

Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range

helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.
So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1"
doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the

posix clocks: Replace mutex with reader/writer semaphore
A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex.
However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock
operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes.
For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp
coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime
would have to wait for almost a whole second.
This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of
a mutex.
In raid5 plugging is used for 2 things:
1/ collecting writes that require a bitmap update
2/ collecting writes in the hope that we can create full
stripes - or at least more-full.
We now release these different sets of stripes when plug_cnt
is zero.
Also in make_request, we call mddev_check_plug to hopefully increase
plug_cnt, and wake up the thread at the end if plugging wasn't
achieved for some reason.
md: provide generic support for handling unplug callbacks.
When an md device adds a request to a queue, it can call
mddev_check_plugged.
If this succeeds then we know that the md thread will be woken up
shortly, and ->plug_cnt will be non-zero until then, so some
processing can be delayed.
If it fails, then no unplug callback is expected and the make_request
function needs to do whatever is required to make the request happen.
md has some plugging infrastructure for RAID5 to use because the
normal plugging infrastructure required a 'request_queue', and when
called from dm, RAID5 doesn't have one of those available.
This relied on the ->unplug_fn callback which doesn't exist any more.
So remove all of that code, both in md and raid5. Subsequent patches
with restore the plugging functionality.
block: drop queue lock before calling __blk_run_queue() for kblockd punt
If we know we are going to punt to kblockd, we can drop the queue
lock before calling into __blk_run_queue() since it only does a
safe bit test and a workqueue call. Since kblockd needs to grab
this very lock as one of the first things it does, it's a good
optimization to drop the lock before waking kblockd.
Revert "block: add callback function for unplug notification"
MD can't use this since it really requires us to be able to
keep more than a single piece of state for the unplug. Commit 048c9374 added the required support for MD, so get rid of this
now unused code.
ip6_pol_route panic: Do not allow VLAN on loopback
Several tests in the ipv6 routing code check IFF_LOOPBACK, and
allowing stacking such as VLAN'ing on top of loopback results in a
netdevice which reports IFF_LOOPBACK but really isn't the loopback
device.
Instead of spamming the ipv6 routing code with even more special tests,
simply disallow VLAN over loopback.
The result of this patch is:
# modprobe 8021q
# vconfig add lo 43
ERROR: trying to add VLAN #43 to IF -:lo:- error: Operation not supported

powerpc/perf_event: Skip updating kernel counters if register value shrinks
Because of speculative event roll back, it is possible for some event coutners
to decrease between reads on POWER7. This causes a problem with the way that
counters are updated. Delta calues are calculated in a 64 bit value and the
top 32 bits are masked. If the register value has decreased, this leaves us
with a very large positive value added to the kernel counters. This patch
protects against this by skipping the update if the delta would be negative.
This can lead to a lack of precision in the coutner values, but from my testing
the value is typcially fewer than 10 samples at a time.

PAPR specifies that DTL buffers can not cross AMS environments (aka CMO
in the PAPR) and can not cross a memory entitlement granule boundary
(4k). This is found in section 14.11.3.2 H_REGISTER_VPA of the PAPR.
kmalloc does not guarantee an alignment of the allocation, though,
beyond 8 bytes (at least in my understanding). Create a special kmem
cache for DTL buffers with the alignment requirement.

powerpc/kexec: Fix regression causing compile failure on UP
Recent commit b987812b3fcaf70fdf0037589e5d2f5f2453e6ce caused
a compile failure on UP because a considerably large block
of the file was included within CONFIG_SMP, hence making a stub
function not exposed on UP builds when it needed to be.
Relocate the stub to the #else /* ! CONFIG_SMP */ section
and also annotate the relevant else/endif so that nobody
else falls into the same trap I did.

i2c-algo-bit: Call pre/post_xfer for bit_test
Apparently some distros set i2c-algo-bit.bit_test to 1 by
default. In some cases this causes i2c_bit_add_bus
to fail and prevents the i2c bus from being added. In the
radeon case, we fail to add the ddc i2c buses which prevents
the driver from being able to detect attached monitors.
The i2c bus works fine even if bit_test fails. This is likely
due to gpio switching that is required and handled in the
pre/post_xfer hooks, so call the pre/post_xfer hooks in the
bit test as well.
