      cfq-iosched: fix the delay of cfq_group's vdisktime under iops mode · 5be6b756
      Hou Tao authored
      When adding a cfq_group into the cfq service tree, we use CFQ_IDLE_DELAY
      as the delay of cfq_group's vdisktime if there have been other cfq_groups
      already.
      
      When cfq is under iops mode, commit 9a7f38c4 ("cfq-iosched: Convert
      from jiffies to nanoseconds") could result in a large iops delay and
      lead to an abnormal io schedule delay for the added cfq_group. To fix
      it, we just need to revert to the old CFQ_IDLE_DELAY value: HZ / 5
      when iops mode is enabled.
      
      Despite having the same value, the delay of a cfq_queue in idle class
      and the delay of cfq_group are different things, so I define two new
      macros for the delay of a cfq_group under time-slice mode and iops mode.
      
      Fixes: 9a7f38c4 ("cfq-iosched: Convert from jiffies to nanoseconds")

      Clean up x86 unsafe_get/put_user() type handling · 334a023e
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Al noticed that unsafe_put_user() had type problems, and fixed them in
      commit a7cc722f ("fix unsafe_put_user()"), which made me look more
      at those functions.
      
      It turns out that unsafe_get_user() had a type issue too: it limited the
      largest size of the type it could handle to "unsigned long".  Which is
      fine with the current users, but doesn't match our existing normal
      get_user() semantics, which can also handle "u64" even when that does
      not fit in a long.
      
      While at it, also clean up the type cast in unsafe_put_user().  We
      actually want to just make it an assignment to the expected type of the
      pointer, because we actually do want warnings from types that don't
      convert silently.  And it makes the code more readable by not having
      that one very long and complex line.
      
      [ This patch might become stable material if we ever end up back-porting
        any new users of the unsafe uaccess code, but as things stand now this
        doesn't matter for any current existing uses. ]

      __put_user_size() relies upon its first argument having the same type as what
      the second one points to; the only other user makes sure of that and
      unsafe_put_user() should do the same.
