This simplifies the RCU to refcounting code in particular.

I was originally intending to leave this for later, but walking through
all the dput() logic (see previous commit), I realized that the dput()
"might_sleep()" check was misleadingly weak.  And I removed it as
misleading, both for performance profiling and for debugging.

However, the might_sleep() debugging case is actually true: the final
dput() can indeed sleep, if the inode of the dentry that you are
releasing ends up sleeping at iput time (see dentry_iput()).  So the
problem with the might_sleep() in dput() wasn't that it wasn't true, it
was that it wasn't actually testing and triggering on the interesting
case.

In particular, just about *any* dput() can indeed sleep, if you happen
to race with another thread deleting the file in question, and you then
lose the race to the be the last dput() for that file.  But because it's
a very rare race, the debugging code would never trigger it in practice.

Why is this problematic? The new d_rcu_to_refcount() (see commit
15570086: "vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using
lockref_get_or_lock()") does a dput() for the failure case, and it does
it under the RCU lock.  So potentially sleeping really is a bug.

But there's no way I'm going to fix this with the previous complicated
"lockref_get_or_lock()" interface.  And rather than revert to the old
and crufty nested dentry locking code (which did get this right by
delaying the reference count updates until they were verified to be
safe), let's make forward progress.

This is me being a bit OCD after all the dentry optimization work this
merge window: profiles end up showing 'dput()' as a rather expensive
operation, and there were two unrelated bad reasons for that.

The first reason was reading d_lockref.count for debugging purposes,
which touches the lockref cacheline (for reads) before really need to.
More importantly, the debugging test in question is _wrong_, and has
hidden bugs.  It's true that we can only sleep when the count goes down
to zero, but the test as-is hides the much more subtle bug that happens
if we race with somebody else deleting the file.

Anyway we _will_ touch that cacheline, but let's do it for a write and
in the right routine (ie in "lockref_put_or_lock()") which annotates the
costs better.  So remove the misleading debug code.

The other was an unnecessary access to the cacheline that contains the
d_lru list, just to check whether we already were on the LRU list or
not.  This is exactly what we have d_flags for, so that we can avoid
touching extra cache lines for the common case.  So just add another bit
for "is this dentry on the LRU".

Finally, mark the tests properly likely/unlikely, so that the common
fast-paths are dense in the instruction stream.

This makes the profiles look much saner.

The only actual current lockref user (dcache) uses zero reference counts
even for perfectly live dentries, because it's a cache: there may not be
any users, but that doesn't mean that we want to throw away the dentry.

At the same time, the dentry cache does have a notion of a truly "dead"
dentry that we must not even increment the reference count of, because
we have pruned it and it is not valid.

Currently that distinction is not visible in the lockref itself, and the
dentry cache validation uses "lockref_get_or_lock()" to either get a new
reference to a dentry that already had existing references (and thus
cannot be dead), or get the dentry lock so that we can then verify the
dentry and increment the reference count under the lock if that
verification was successful.

That's all somewhat complicated.

This adds the concept of being "dead" to the lockref itself, by simply
using a count that is negative.  This allows a usage scenario where we
can increment the refcount of a dentry without having to validate it,
and pushing the special "we killed it" case into the lockref code.

The dentry code itself doesn't actually use this yet, and it's probably
too late in the merge window to do that code (the dentry_kill() code
with its "should I decrement the count" logic really is pretty complex
code), but let's introduce the concept at the lockref level now.

   - Enablement of the mbus infrastructure from Marvell PCI-e drivers.

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Olof Johansson:
 "This branch contains code cleanups, moves and removals for 3.12.

  There's a large number of various cleanups, and a nice net removal of
  13500 lines of code.

  Highlights worth mentioning are:

   - A series of patches from Stephen Boyd removing the ARM local timer
     API.
   - Move of Qualcomm MSM IOMMU code to drivers/iommu.
   - Samsung PWM driver cleanups from Tomasz Figa, removing legacy PWM
     driver and switching over to the drivers/pwm one.
   - Removal of some unusued auto-generated headers for OMAP2+ (PRM/CM).

  There's also a move of a header file out of include/linux/i2c/ to
  platform_data, where it really belongs.  It touches mostly ARM
  platform code for include changes so we took it through our tree"

Pull ia64 fixes from Tony Luck:
 "Couple of small cleanups for ia64"

* tag 'please-pull-misc-3.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux:
  [IA64] Use asm-generic/bitops/builtin-ffs.h
  [IA64] dmi.h: Make dmi_alloc use kzalloc

TCP receive window handling is multi staged.

A socket has a memory budget, static or dynamic, in sk_rcvbuf.

Because we do not really know how this memory budget translates to
a TCP window (payload), TCP announces a small initial window
(about 20 MSS).

When a packet is received, we increase TCP rcv_win depending
on the payload/truesize ratio of this packet. Good citizen
packets give a hint that it's reasonable to have rcv_win = sk_rcvbuf/2

This heuristic takes place in tcp_grow_window()

Problem is : We currently call tcp_grow_window() only for in-order
packets.

This means that reorders or packet losses stop proper grow of
rcv_win, and senders are unable to benefit from fast recovery,
or proper reordering level detection.

Really, a packet being stored in OFO queue is not a bad citizen.
It should be part of the game as in-order packets.

In our traces, we very often see sender is limited by linux small
receive windows, even if linux hosts use autotuning (DRS) and should
allow rcv_win to grow to ~3MB.

Commit c0a77ec7 'bnx2x: Add missing braces in
bnx2x:bnx2x_link_initialize' identified indentation problem, but resolved it
by adding braces instead of fixing the indentation. The braces now prevents a
config_init call in some cases, though it should be called regardless of that
condition. This patch removes the braces and fix the confusing indentation
that caused this mess.

In commit 0f7cc9a3 "tcp: increase throughput when reordering is high",
it only allows cwnd to increase in Open state. This mistakenly disables
slow start after timeout (CA_Loss). Moreover cwnd won't grow if the
state moves from Disorder to Open later in tcp_fastretrans_alert().

Therefore the correct logic should be to allow cwnd to grow as long
as the data is received in order in Open, Loss, or even Disorder state.
