           anymore...
      
         - Some good fixes from Guo Ghao for loop, fixing both potential
           oopses and deadlocks.
      
         - Improve mtip32xx for NUMA systems, by being a bit more clever in
           distributing work.
      
         - Add IBM RamSan 70/80 driver.  A second round of fixes for that is
           pending, that will come in through for-linus during the 3.9 cycle
           as per usual.

      Pull block IO core bits from Jens Axboe:
       "Below are the core block IO bits for 3.9.  It was delayed a few days
        since my workstation kept crashing every 2-8h after pulling it into
        current -git, but turns out it is a bug in the new pstate code (divide
        by zero, will report separately).  In any case, it contains:
      
         - The big cfq/blkcg update from Tejun and and Vivek.
      
         - Additional block and writeback tracepoints from Tejun.
      
         - Improvement of the should sort (based on queues) logic in the plug
           flushing.
      
         - _io() variants of the wait_for_completion() interface, using
           io_schedule() instead of schedule() to contribute to io wait
           properly.
      
         - Various little fixes.
      
        You'll get two trivial merge conflicts, which should be easy enough to

      hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators · b67bfe0d
      Sasha Levin authored
      I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
      
              list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
      
      The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
      
              hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
      
      Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
      they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
      exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
      
      Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
      
       - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
       - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
       - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
       was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
       - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
       properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
      
      The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

      kcmp: make it depend on CHECKPOINT_RESTORE · 1e142b29
      Cyrill Gorcunov authored
      Since kcmp syscall has been implemented (initially on x86 architecture) a
      number of other archs wire it up as well: xtensa, sparc, sh, s390, mips,
      microblaze, m68k (not taking into account those who uses
      <asm-generic/unistd.h> for syscall numbers definitions).
      
      But the Makefile, which turns kcmp.o generation on still depends on former
      config-x86.  Thus get rid of this limitation and make kcmp.o depend on
      CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option.

      kfifo: fix kfifo_alloc() and kfifo_init() · dfe2a77f
      Stefani Seibold authored
      Fix kfifo_alloc() and kfifo_init() to alloc at least the requested number
      of elements.  Since the kfifo operates on power of 2 the request size will
      be rounded up to the next power of two.

      Additionally, add a reference to the MAINTAINERS file for the nbd-general

      nbd: fsync and kill block device on shutdown · 3a2d63f8
      Paolo Bonzini authored
      There are two problems with shutdown in the NBD driver.
      
      1: Receiving the NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl does not sync the filesystem.
      
         This patch adds the sync operation into __nbd_ioctl()'s
         NBD_DISCONNECT handler.  This is useful because BLKFLSBUF is restricted
         to processes that have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and the NBD client may not
         possess it (fsync of the block device does not sync the filesystem,
         either).
      
      2: Once we clear the socket we have no guarantee that later reads will
         come from the same backing storage.
      
         The patch adds calls to kill_bdev() in __nbd_ioctl()'s socket
         clearing code so the page cache is cleaned, lest reads that hit on the
         page cache will return stale data from the previously-accessible disk.
      
      Example:
      
          # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sr0
          # file -s /dev/nbd0
          /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.
          # qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
          # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sda
          # file -s /dev/nbd0
          /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.
      
      While /dev/sda has:
      
          # file -s /dev/sda
          /dev/sda: x86 boot sector; etc.

      nbd: support FLUSH requests · 75f187ab
      Alex Bligh authored
      Currently, the NBD device does not accept flush requests from the Linux
      block layer.  If the NBD server opened the target with neither O_SYNC nor
      O_DSYNC, however, the device will be effectively backed by a writeback
      cache.  Without issuing flushes properly, operation of the NBD device will
      not be safe against power losses.
      
      The NBD protocol has support for both a cache flush command and a FUA
      command flag; the server will also pass a flag to note its support for
      these features.  This patch adds support for the cache flush command and
      flag.  In the kernel, we receive the flags via the NBD_SET_FLAGS ioctl,
      and map NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH to the argument of blk_queue_flush.  When the
      flag is active the block layer will send REQ_FLUSH requests, which we
      translate to NBD_CMD_FLUSH commands.
      
      FUA support is not included in this patch because all free software
      servers implement it with a full fdatasync; thus it has no advantage over
      supporting flush only.  Because I [Paolo] cannot really benchmark it in a
      realistic scenario, I cannot tell if it is a good idea or not.  It is also
      not clear if it is valid for an NBD server to support FUA but not flush.
      The Linux block layer gives a warning for this combination, the NBD
      protocol documentation says nothing about it.
      
      The patch also fixes a small problem in the handling of flags: nbd->flags
      must be cleared at the end of NBD_DO_IT, but the driver was not doing
      that.  The bug manifests itself as follows.  Suppose you two different
      client/server pairs to start the NBD device.  Suppose also that the first
      client supports NBD_SET_FLAGS, and the first server sends
      NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH; the second pair instead does neither of these two
      things.  Before this patch, the second invocation of NBD_DO_IT will use a
      stale value of nbd->flags, and the second server will issue an error every
      time it receives an NBD_CMD_FLUSH command.
      
      This bug is pre-existing, but it becomes much more important after this
      patch; flush failures make the device pretty much unusable, unlike

      block/partitions: optimize memory allocation in check_partition() · ac2e5327
      Ming Lei authored
      Currently, sizeof(struct parsed_partitions) may be 64KB in 32bit arch, so
      it is easy to trigger page allocation failure by check_partition,
      especially in hotplug block device situation(such as, USB mass storage,
      MMC card, ...), and Felipe Balbi has observed the failure.
      
      This patch does below optimizations on the allocation of struct
      parsed_partitions to try to address the issue:
      
      - make parsed_partitions.parts as pointer so that the pointed memory can
        fit in 32KB buffer, then approximate 32KB memory can be saved
      
      - vmalloc the buffer pointed by parsed_partitions.parts because 32KB is
        still a bit big for kmalloc
      
      - given that many devices have the partition count limit, so only
        allocate disk_max_parts() partitions instead of 256 partitions always

      block/partitions/mac.c: obey the state->limit constraint · 06004e6e
      Ming Lei authored
      It isn't necessary to read the information of partitions whose number is
      equal and more than state->limit since only maximum state->limit
      partitions will be added inside rescan_partitions().
      
      That is also what other kind of partitions are doing.
