      readahead: add blk_run_backing_dev · 65a80b4c
      Hisashi Hifumi authored 
      I added blk_run_backing_dev on page_cache_async_readahead so readahead I/O
is unpluged to improve throughput on especially RAID environment.

The normal case is, if page N become uptodate at time T(N), then T(N) <=
T(N+1) holds.  With RAID (and NFS to some degree), there is no strict
ordering, the data arrival time depends on runtime status of individual
disks, which breaks that formula.  So in do_generic_file_read(), just
after submitting the async readahead IO request, the current page may well
be uptodate, so the page won't be locked, and the block device won't be
implicitly unplugged:

               if (PageReadahead(page))
                        page_cache_async_readahead()
                if (!PageUptodate(page))
                                goto page_not_up_to_date;
                //...
page_not_up_to_date:
                lock_page_killable(page);

Therefore explicit unplugging can help.

Following is the test result with dd.

      rtc: set wakeup capability for I2C and SPI RTC drivers · 26b3c01f
      Anton Vorontsov authored 
      RTC core won't allow wakeup alarms to be set if RTC devices' parent (i.e.
i2c_client or spi_device) isn't wakeup capable.

For I2C devices there is I2C_CLIENT_WAKE flag exists that we can pass via
board info, and if set, I2C core will initialize wakeup capability.  For
SPI devices there is no such flag at all.

I believe that it's not platform code responsibility to allow or disallow
wakeups, instead, drivers themselves should set the capability if a device
can trigger wakeups.

That's what drivers/base/power/sysfs.c says:

 * It is the responsibility of device drivers to enable (or disable)
 * wakeup signaling as part of changing device power states, respecting
 * the policy choices provided through the driver model.

I2C and SPI RTC devices send wakeup events via interrupt lines, so we
should set the wakeup capability if IRQ is routed.

Ideally we should also check irq for wakeup capability before setting
device's capability, i.e.

	if (can_irq_wake(irq))
		device_set_wakeup_capable(&client->dev, 1);

But there is no can_irq_wake() call exist, and it is not that trivial to
implement it for all interrupts controllers and complex/cascaded setups.

drivers/base/power/sysfs.c also covers these cases:

 * Devices may not be able to generate wakeup events from all power
 * states.  Also, the events may be ignored in some configurations;
 * for example, they might need help from other devices that aren't
 * active

So there is no guarantee that wakeup will actually work, and so I think
there is no point in being pedantic wrt checking IRQ wakeup capability.
