Due to a merge conflict, the sched_relax_domain_level control file was marked as being handled by cpuset_read/write_u64, but the code to handle it was actually in cpuset_common_file_read/write. Since the value being written/read is in fact a signed integer, it should be treated as such; this patch adds cpuset_read/write_s64 functions, and uses them to handle the sched_relax_domain_level file. With this patch, the sched_relax_domain_level can be read and written, and the correct contents seen/updated.

For e.g. proper TTY canonical support, IUTF8 termios flag has to be set as appropriate. Linux used to not care about setting that flag for VT TTYs. This patch fixes that by activating it according to the current mode of the VT, and sets the default value according to the vt.default_utf8 parameter.

We clobber %i1 as well as %i0 for these system calls, because they give two return values. Therefore, on error, we have to restore %i1 properly or else the restart explodes since it uses the wrong arguments. This fixes glibc's nptl/tst-eintr1.c testcase. Signed-off-by: David S.

get_part() is fairly expensive, as it O(N) loops over partitions to find the right one. In lots of normal IO paths we end up looking up the partition twice, to make matters even worse.

Original patch from Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Mike Anderson was doing an OLTP benchmark on a computer with 48 physical disks mapped to one logical device via device mapper. He found that there was a slowdown on request_queue->lock in function generic_unplug_device. The slowdown is caused by the fact that when some code calls unplug on the device mapper, device mapper calls unplug on all physical disks. These unplug calls take the lock, find that the queue is already unplugged, release the lock and exit. With the below patch, performance of the benchmark was increased by 18% (the whole OLTP application, not just block layer microbenchmarks). So I'm submitting this patch for upstream. I think the patch is correct, because when more threads call simultaneously plug and unplug, it is unspecified, if the queue is or isn't plugged (so the patch can't make this worse). And the caller that plugged the queue should unplug it anyway. (if it doesn't, there's 3ms timeout).

generic_file_splice_write() duplicates remove_suid() just because it doesn't hold i_mutex. But it grabs i_mutex inside splice_from_pipe() anyway, so this is rather pointless. Move locking to generic_file_splice_write() and call remove_suid() and __splice_from_pipe() instead. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

put_io_context() drops the RCU read lock before calling into cfq_dtor(), however we need to hold off freeing there before grabbing and dereferencing the first object on the list. So extend the rcu_read_lock() scope to cover the calling of cfq_dtor(), and optimize cfq_free_io_context() to use a new variant for call_for_each_cic() that assumes the RCU read lock is already held.

For most initialization purposes, calling blk_queue_init_tags() without the queue lock held is OK. Only if called for resizing an existing map must the lock be held. Ditto for tag cleanup, the maps are reference counted. So switch the general queue flag setting to the unlocked variant, but retain the locked variant for resizing.
