When journalling data for an inode (either because it is a symlink or
because the filesystem is mounted in data=journal mode), ext3_evict_inode()
can discard unwritten data by calling truncate_inode_pages(). This is
because we don't mark the buffer / page dirty when journalling data but only
add the buffer to the running transaction and thus mm does not know there
are still unwritten data.

Fix the problem by carefully tracking transaction containing inode's data,
committing this transaction, and writing uncheckpointed buffers when inode
should be reaped.

In ext2_xattr_get(), the code will acquire xattr_sem first, later checks
the length of xattr name_len > 255. It's unnecessarily time consuming and
also ext2_xattr_set() checks the length before other checks. So move the
check before acquiring xattr_sem to make these two functions consistent.

In journal checkpoint, we write the buffer and wait for its finish.
But in cfq, the async queue has a very low priority, and in our test,
if there are too many sync queues and every queue is filled up with
requests, and the process will hang waiting for the log space.

So this patch tries to use WRITE_SYNC in __flush_batch so that the request will
be moved into sync queue and handled by cfq timely. We also use the new plug,
sot that all the WRITE_SYNC requests can be given as a whole when we unplug it.

journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access journal_head
returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the following race:

	TASK1					TASK2
  journal_commit_transaction()
    ...
    processing t_forget list
      __journal_refile_buffer(jh);
      if (!jh->b_transaction) {
        jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh);
					journal_try_to_free_buffers()
					  journal_grab_journal_head(bh)
					  jbd_lock_bh_state(bh)
					  __journal_try_to_free_buffer()
					  journal_put_journal_head(jh)
        journal_remove_journal_head(bh);

journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and buffer is not
part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head before TASK1 gets to doing
so. Note that even buffer_head can be released by try_to_free_buffers() after
journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for oops (but I
didn't see this happen in reality).

Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head reference
(in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head explicitely via
journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just remove journal_head when
b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is that [__]journal_refile_buffer(),
[__]journal_unfile_buffer(), and __journal_remove_checkpoint() can free
journal_head which needs modification of a few callers. Also we have to be
careful because once journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as
well. So we have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.

New truncate calling convention allows us to handle errors from
ext3_block_truncate_page(). So reorganize the code so that
ext3_block_truncate_page() is called before we change inode size.

This also removes unnecessary block zeroing from error recovery after failed
buffered writes (zeroing isn't needed because we could have never written
non-zero data to disk). We have to be careful and keep zeroing in direct IO
write error recovery because there we might have already overwritten end of the
last file block.

ext3_{set,clear}_bit() is defined as __test_and_{set,clear}_bit_le()
for ext3.  But all ext3_{set,clear}_bit() calls ignore return values.
So these can be replaced with __{set,clear}_bit_le().

This changes ext3_{set,clear}_bit safely, because if someone uses
these macros without noticing the change, new ext3_{set,clear}_bit
don't have return value and causes compiler errors where the return
value is used.

This also removes unused ext3_find_first_zero_bit().

Block allocation is called from two places: ext3_get_blocks_handle() and
ext3_xattr_block_set(). These two callers are not necessarily synchronized
because xattr code holds only xattr_sem and i_mutex, and
ext3_get_blocks_handle() may hold only truncate_mutex when called from
writepage() path. Block reservation code does not expect two concurrent
allocations to happen to the same inode and thus assertions can be triggered
or reservation structure corruption can occur.

Fix the problem by taking truncate_mutex in xattr code to serialize
allocations.

The callers of start_this_handle() (or better ext3_journal_start()) are not
really prepared to handle allocation failures. Such failures can for example
result in silent data loss when it happens in ext3_..._writepage().  OTOH
__GFP_NOFAIL is going away so we just retry allocation in start_this_handle().

This loop is potentially dangerous because the oom killer cannot be invoked
for GFP_NOFS allocation, so there is a potential for infinitely looping.
But still this is better than silent data loss.

This patch fixes a bug in ft_send_tm() that was incorrectly calling

This patch fixes the issue by re-arranging the codepath where
transport_get_lun_for_tmr() is called after tmr request is allocated and
made it available as part of se_cmd.

It also drops the now unnecessary ft_get_lun_for_cmd() unpacking code, and
uses scsilun_to_int() directly ahead of transport_get_lun_for_cmd() and
transport_get_lun_for_tmr() usage.

This patch fixes a number of cases in target core using an incorrectly

	if (strlen(foo) > SOME_MAX_SIZE)

As strlen() returns the number of characters in the string not counting
the NULL character at the end.  So if you do something like:

        char buf[10];

        if (strlen("0123456789") > 10)
                return -ETOOLONG;
        snprintf(buf, 10, "0123456789");
        printf("%s\n", buf);

then the last "9" gets chopped off and only "012345678" is printed.

Commit 7b3a24c5 ("ahci: don't enable
port irq before handler is registered") caused a regression for CD-ROMs
attached to the IPR SATA bus on Power machines:

  ata_port_alloc: ENTER
  ata_port_probe: ata1: bus probe begin
  ata1.00: ata_dev_read_id: ENTER
  ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x40)
  ata1.00: ata_dev_read_id: ENTER
  ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x40)
  ata1.00: limiting speed to UDMA7:PIO5
  ata1.00: ata_dev_read_id: ENTER
  ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x40)
  ata1.00: disabled
  ata_port_probe: ata1: bus probe end
  scsi_alloc_sdev: Allocation failure during SCSI scanning, some SCSI devices might not be configured

The FROZEN flag added in that commit is only cleared by the new EH code,
which is not used by ipr. Clear this flag in the SAS code if we don't
support new EH.

regardless of firmware revision

It's unlikely NOSETXFER works for a revision of drive but doesn't for
another and pioneer doesn't seem to be fixing firmwares for the
affected drives.  Apply NOSETXFER to the affected pioneer drives
regardless of firmware revision.
