In the case where the request is not able to be merged by the elevator, don't
retake the lock and retry the merge mechanism after allocating a new request.
Instead assume that the chance of a merge remains slim, and now that we've
done most of the work allocating a request we may as well just go with it.
Also be rid of the GFP_ATOMIC allocation: we've got working mempools for the
block layer now, so let's save atomic memory for things like networking.
Lastly, in get_request_wait, do an initial get_request call before going into
the waitqueue. This is reported to help efficiency.

We add a check of the return value of tty_ldisc_ref(), which
is checked 7 out of 8 times, e.g.:
149 ld = tty_ldisc_ref(tty);
150 if (ld != NULL) {
151 if (ld->set_termios)
152 (ld->set_termios)(tty, &old_termios);
153 tty_ldisc_deref(ld);
154 }
This defect was found automatically by Coverity Prevent, a static analysis
tool.
(akpm: presumably `ld' is never NULL. Oh well)

In the case of buffered AIO, in the aio retry path (aio_run_iocb), when the
retry method returns EIOCBRETRY the kicked iocb is added to the context run
list but is never queued onto the work queue. The request therefore is
never completed.
This patch fixes that by adding the appropriate call to aio_queue_work in
aio_run_aiocb so that subsequent retries will be handled by the aio worker
thread.

As Steven Rostedt pointed out, there are 2 problems with ITIMER_REAL
timers.
1. do_setitimer() does not call del_timer_sync() in case
when the timer is not pending (it_real_value() returns 0).
This is wrong, the timer may still be running, and it can
rearm itself.
2. It calls del_timer_sync() with tsk->sighand->siglock held.
This is deadlockable, because timer's handler needs this
lock too.

NEED_RESCHED in init_idle(), we do an explicit schedule() before calling
into cpu_idle().
This patch, while having no negative side-effects, enables wider use of

Currently we cap request allocations at q->nr_requests, but we allow a
batching io context to allocate up to 32 more (default setting). This
can flood the queue with request allocations, with only a few batching
processes. The real fix would be to limit the number of batchers, but
as that isn't currently tracked, I suggest we just cap the maximum
number of allocated requests to eg 50% over the limit.
This was observed in real life, users typically see this as vmstat bo
numbers going off the wall with seconds of no queueing afterwards.
Behaviour this bursty is not beneficial.

don't put all the busses into one entry.)

After seeing, at best, "guesses" as to the following kind
of information in several drivers, I decided that we really
need a way for platforms to specifically give advice in this
area for what works best with their PCI controller implementation.
Basically, this new interface gives DMA bursting advice on
PCI. There are three forms of the advice:
1) Burst as much as possible, it is not necessary to end bursts
on some particular boundary for best performance.
2) Burst on some byte count multiple. A DMA burst to some multiple of
number of bytes may be done, but it is important to end the burst
on an exact multiple for best performance.
The best example of this I am aware of are the PPC64 PCI
controllers, where if you end a burst mid-cacheline then
chip has to refetch the data and the IOMMU translations
which hurts performance a lot.
3) Burst on a single byte count multiple. Bursts shall end
exactly on the next multiple boundary for best performance.
Sparc64 and Alpha's PCI controllers operate this way. They
disconnect any device which tries to burst across a cacheline
boundary.
Actually, newer sparc64 PCI controllers do not have this behavior.
That is why the "pdev" is passed into the interface, so I can
add code later to check which PCI controller the system is using
and give advice accordingly.

Originally from Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
This patch was discussed at length on linux-pci and so far, the last
iteration of it didn't raise any comment. It's effect is a nop on
architecture that don't define the new pci_resource_to_user() callback
anyway. It allows architecture like ppc who put weird things inside of
PCI resource structures to convert to some different value for user
visible ones. It also fixes mmap'ing of IO space on those archs.

This patch adds the following new interfaces for I/O xAPIC
hotplug. The implementation of these interfaces depends on each
architecture.
o int acpi_register_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u64 phys_addr,
u32 gsi_base);
This new interface is to add a new I/O xAPIC specified by
phys_addr and gsi_base pair. phys_addr is the physical address
to which the I/O xAPIC is mapped and gsi_base is global system
interrupt base of the I/O xAPIC. acpi_register_ioapic returns
0 on success, or negative value on error.
o int acpi_unregister_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u32 gsi_base);
This new interface is to remove a I/O xAPIC specified by
gsi_base. acpi_unregister_ioapic returns 0 on success, or
negative value on error.

Current acpiphp code does not distinguish between the physical presence and
power state of a device/slot. That is, if a device has to be disabled, it
also tries to physically ejects the device. This patch decouples power state
from physical presence. You can now echo to the corresponding sysfs power
control file to repeatedly enable and disable a device without having to
physically re-insert it.
