With the optimizations around not clearing the full request at alloc time, we are leaving some of the needed init for REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC up to the user allocating the request. Add a blk_rq_set_block_pc() that sets the command type to REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC, and properly initializes the members associated with this type of request. Update callers to use this function instead of manipulating rq->cmd_type directly. Includes fixes from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> for my half-assed attempt.

Some drivers have different limits on what size a request should optimally be, depending on the offset of the request. Similar to dividing a device into chunks. Add a setting that allows the driver to inform the block layer of such a chunk size. The block layer will then prevent merging across the chunks. This is needed to optimally support NVMe with a non-zero stripe size. Signed-off-by: -

1. Remove CLONE_KERNEL, it has no users and it is dangerous. The (old) comment says "List of flags we want to share for kernel threads" but this is not true, we do not want to share ->sighand by default. This flag can only be used if the caller is sure that both parent/child will never play with signals (say, allow_signal/etc). 2. Change rest_init() to clone kernel_init() without CLONE_SIGHAND. In this case CLONE_SIGHAND does not really hurt, and it looks like optimization because copy_sighand() can avoid kmem_cache_alloc(). But in fact this only adds the minor pessimization. kernel_init() is going to exec the init process, and de_thread() will need to unshare ->sighand and do kmem_cache_alloc(sighand_cachep) anyway, but it needs to do more work and take tasklist_lock and siglock.

When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function becomes an initcall. Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem. This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug. There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate. Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these scenarios. Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls> ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and the log contains: blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init ... ... initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and the log contains: blacklisting initcall foo_bar blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init ... ... initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak printk text] Signed-off-by:

Pertially revert commit ea676e84 ("init/main.c: convert to pr_foo()"). Unbeknownst to me, pr_debug() is different from the other pr_foo() levels: pr_debug() is a no-op when DEBUG is not defined. Happily, init/main.c does have a #define DEBUG so we didn't break initcall_debug. But the functioning of initcall_debug should not be dependent upon the presence of that #define DEBUG. Reported-by:

We attempt to search for compatible strings which use a variable token in the documented name such as <chip> or <soc>. While this was attempted to be handled, it's utterly broken. The desired forms of matching are: vendor,<chip>-* vendor,name<part#>-* For <chip>, lower case characters and numbers are permitted. For <part#>, only numeric values are allowed. With this change, the number of missing compatible strings reported in arch/arm/boot/dts is reduced from 1071 to 960. Reported-by:
