      scsi_dh: Use the correct module name when loading device handler · 1378889c
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This fixes a bug in recent kernels which results in failure to boot
on systems that have multipath SCSI disks.  I observed this failure
on a POWER8 server where all the disks are multipath SCSI disks.
The symptoms are several messages like this on the console:

[    3.018700] device-mapper: table: 253:0: multipath: error attaching hardware handler
[    3.018828] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

and the system does not find its disks, and therefore fails to boot.

Bisection revealed that the bug was introduced in commit 566079c8,
"dm-mpath, scsi_dh: request scsi_dh modules in scsi_dh, not dm-mpath".
The specific reason for the failure is that where we previously loaded
the "scsi_dh_alua" module, we are now trying to load the "alua" module,
which doesn't exist.

To fix this, we change the request_module call in scsi_dh_lookup()
to prepend "scsi_dh_" to the name, just like the old code in
drivers/md/dm-mpath.c:parse_hw_handler() used to do.

[jejb: also fixes issue spotted by Sasha Levin that formatting
characters could be passed in via sysfs and cause issues with
request_module()]

      blk: rq_data_dir() should not return a boolean · 10fbd36e
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      rq_data_dir() returns either READ or WRITE (0 == READ, 1 == WRITE), not
a boolean value.

Now, admittedly the "!= 0" doesn't really change the value (0 stays as
zero, 1 stays as one), but it's not only redundant, it confuses gcc, and
causes gcc to warn about the construct

    switch (rq_data_dir(req)) {
        case READ:
            ...
        case WRITE:
            ...

that we have in a few drivers.

Now, the gcc warning is silly and stupid (it seems to warn not about the
switch value having a different type from the case statements, but about
_any_ boolean switch value), but in this case the code itself is silly
and stupid too, so let's just change it, and get rid of warnings like
this:

  drivers/block/hd.c: In function ‘hd_request’:
  drivers/block/hd.c:630:11: warning: switch condition has boolean value [-Wswitch-bool]
     switch (rq_data_dir(req)) {

The odd '!= 0' came in when "cmd_flags" got turned into a "u64" in
commit 5953316d ("block: make rq->cmd_flags be 64-bit") and is
presumably because the old code (that just did a logical 'and' with 1)
would then end up making the type of rq_data_dir() be u64 too.

But if we want to retain the old regular integer type, let's just cast
the result to 'int' rather than use that rather odd '!= 0'.

      writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and writeback_inodes_wb() · 505a666e
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      We had to revert the pluggin in writeback_sb_inodes() because the
wb->list_lock is held, but we could easily plug at a higher level before
taking that lock, and unplug after releasing it.  This does that.

Chris will run performance numbers, just to verify that this approach is
comparable to the alternative (we could just drop and re-take the lock
around the blk_finish_plug() rather than these two commits.

I'd have preferred waiting for actual performance numbers before picking
one approach over the other, but I don't want to release rc1 with the
known "sleeping function called from invalid context" issue, so I'll
pick this cleanup version for now.  But if the numbers show that we
really want to plug just at the writeback_sb_inodes() level, and we
should just play ugly games with the spinlock, we'll switch to that.

      thermal: fix intel PCH thermal driver mismerge · dfb22fc5
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      I didn't notice this when merging the thermal code from Zhang, but his
merge (commit 5a924a07: "Merge branches 'thermal-core' and
'thermal-intel' of .git into next") of the thermal-core and
thermal-intel branches was wrong.

In thermal-core, commit 17e8351a ("thermal: consistently use int for
temperatures") converted the thermal layer to use "int" for
temperatures.

But in parallel, in the thermal-intel branch commit d0a12625
("thermal: Add Intel PCH thermal driver") added support for the intel
PCH thermal sensor using the old interfaces that used "unsigned long"
pointers.

This resulted in warnings like this:

  drivers/thermal/intel_pch_thermal.c:184:14: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
    .get_temp = pch_thermal_get_temp,
                ^
  drivers/thermal/intel_pch_thermal.c:184:14: note: (near initialization for ‘tzd_ops.get_temp’)
  drivers/thermal/intel_pch_thermal.c:186:19: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
    .get_trip_temp = pch_get_trip_temp,
                     ^
  drivers/thermal/intel_pch_thermal.c:186:19: note: (near initialization for ‘tzd_ops.get_trip_temp’)

This fixes it.

 "These are mostly fixes and cleanups on top of the previous PM+ACPI
  pull request (cpufreq core and drivers, cpuidle, generic power domains

  fix issues introduced by it.

  The only really new thing is the support for suspend frequency in the
  cpufreq-dt driver, but it is needed to fix an issue with Exynos
  platforms.

  Specifics:

   - build fix for the new Mediatek MT8173 cpufreq driver (Guenter
     Roeck).

   - generic power domains framework fixes (power on error code path,
     subdomain removal) and cleanup of a deprecated API user (Geert
     Uytterhoeven, Jon Hunter, Ulf Hansson).

   - cpufreq-dt driver fixes including two fixes for bugs related to the
     new Operating Performance Points Device Tree bindings introduced
     recently (Viresh Kumar).

   - suspend frequency support for the cpufreq-dt driver (Bartlomiej
     Zolnierkiewicz, Viresh Kumar).

   - cpufreq core cleanups (Viresh Kumar).

   - intel_pstate driver fixes (Chen Yu, Kristen Carlson Accardi).

   - additional sanity check in the cpuidle core (Xunlei Pang).

   - fix for a comment related to CPU power management (Lina Iyer)"
