preferred paths for different device regions.
Fix a bug in the verity target that prevented its use with some
specific sizes of devices.
Improve some locking mechanisms in the device-mapper core and bufio.
Add Mike Snitzer as a device-mapper maintainer.
A few more clean-ups and fixes"

Pull core block IO updates from Jens Axboe:
"Here are the core IO block bits for 3.11. It contains:
- A tweak to the reserved tag logic from Jan, for weirdo devices with
just 3 free tags. But for those it improves things substantially
for random writes.
- Periodic writeback fix from Jan. Marked for stable as well.
- Fix for a race condition in IO scheduler switching from Jianpeng.
- The hierarchical blk-cgroup support from Tejun. This is the grunt
of the series.
- blk-throttle fix from Vivek.
Just a note that I'm in the middle of a relocation, whole family is
flying out tomorrow. Hence I will be awal the remainder of this week,
but back at work again on Monday the 15th. CC'ing Tejun, since any
potential "surprises" will most likely be from the blk-cgroup work.
But it's been brewing for a while and sitting in my tree and
linux-next for a long time, so should be solid."

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending
Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
"Lots of activity this round on performance improvements in target-core
while benchmarking the prototype scsi-mq initiator code with
vhost-scsi fabric ports, along with a number of iscsi/iser-target
improvements and hardening fixes for exception path cases post v3.10
merge.
The highlights include:
- Make persistent reservations APTPL buffer allocated on-demand, and
drop per t10_reservation buffer. (grover)
- Make virtual LUN=0 a NULLIO device, and skip allocation of NULLIO
device pages (grover)
- Add transport_cmd_check_stop write_pending bit to avoid extra
access of ->t_state_lock is WRITE I/O submission fast-path. (nab)
- Drop unnecessary CMD_T_DEV_ACTIVE check from
transport_lun_remove_cmd to avoid extra access of ->t_state_lock in
release fast-path. (nab)
- Avoid extra t_state_lock access in __target_execute_cmd fast-path
(nab)
- Drop unnecessary vhost-scsi wait_for_tasks=true usage +
->t_state_lock access in release fast-path. (nab)
- Convert vhost-scsi to use modern se_cmd->cmd_kref
TARGET_SCF_ACK_KREF usage (nab)
- Add tracepoints for SCSI commands being processed (roland)
- Refactoring of iscsi-target handling of ISCSI_OP_NOOP +
ISCSI_OP_TEXT to be transport independent (nab)
- Add iscsi-target SendTargets=$IQN support for in-band discovery
(nab)
- Add iser-target support for in-band discovery (nab + Or)
- Add iscsi-target demo-mode TPG authentication context support (nab)
- Fix isert_put_reject payload buffer post (nab)
- Fix iscsit_add_reject* usage for iser (nab)
- Fix iscsit_sequence_cmd reject handling for iser (nab)
- Fix ISCSI_OP_SCSI_TMFUNC handling for iser (nab)
- Fix session reset bug with RDMA_CM_EVENT_DISCONNECTED (nab)
The last five iscsi/iser-target items are CC'ed to stable, as they do
address issues present in v3.10 code. They are certainly larger than
I'd like for stable patch set, but are important to ensure proper
REJECT exception handling in iser-target for 3.10.y"

Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
- Fix for a recent cpufreq regression that caused WARN() to trigger
overzealously in a couple of places and spam the kernel log with
useless garbage as a result. From Viresh Kumar.
- ACPI dock fix removing a discrepancy between the definition of
acpi_dock_init(), which says that the function returns int, and its
header in the header file, which says that it is a void function.

example, during resume from system suspend, because the old state was
deeper than the new one, but the new one is not D0.
- Fix for two debug messages in the ACPI power resources code that
don't have a newline at the end and make the kernel log difficult to
read. From Mika Westerberg.

Pull tracing changes from Steven Rostedt:
"The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes
that were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have
been marked for stable.
As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN
about. These include:
New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the
function.
Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called
"traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any
WARN_ON() is triggered. This is useful if you want to debug what
caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the
ring buffer overwriting the data before you can disable it. There's
also a kernel command line option that will make this enabled at boot
up called the same thing"

This reverts commit d2aae8477cd00325bb7c7c7e95be488088900c48.
It is completely and utterly broken. Module install should not build
any files, and adding broken dependencies to "help" it build files is
complete and utter sh*t.
The kernel should not be built by root, and "make install" and "make
module_install" (that for obvious reasons need to be run as root)
absolutely must not build any files. They should only ever copy the
already-built files over.
So having dependencies for the install targets is wrong, wrong, wrong.
If you try to install a kernel without building it first, you *should*
get errors. The build system shouldn't try to help root build the files.

zswap is a thin backend for frontswap that takes pages that are in the
process of being swapped out and attempts to compress them and store
them in a RAM-based memory pool. This can result in a significant I/O
reduction on the swap device and, in the case where decompressing from
RAM is faster than reading from the swap device, can also improve
workload performance.
It also has support for evicting swap pages that are currently
compressed in zswap to the swap device on an LRU(ish) basis. This
functionality makes zswap a true cache in that, once the cache is full,
the oldest pages can be moved out of zswap to the swap device so newer
pages can be compressed and stored in zswap.
This patch adds the zswap driver to mm/

zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It
is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical page.
While this design limits storage density, it has simple and
deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher
density approach when reclaim will be used.
zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs
in a single memory page called a "zbud page". The first buddy is "left
justifed" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is
"right justified" at the end of the zbud page. The benefit is that if
either buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever
slack space that existed between the buddies, results in the largest
possible free region within the zbud page.
zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density. The ratio of
zpages to zbud pages can not be less than 1. This ensures that zbud can
never "do harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the
uncompressed zpages would have used on their own.
This implementation is a rewrite of the zbud allocator internally used
by zcache in the driver/staging tree. The rewrite was necessary to
remove some of the zcache specific elements that were ingrained
throughout and provide a generic allocation interface that can later be
used by zsmalloc and others.
This patch adds zbud to mm/ for later use by zswap.

dm-switch is a new target that maps IO to underlying block devices
efficiently when there is a large number of fixed-sized address regions
but there is no simple pattern to allow for a compact mapping
representation such as dm-stripe.
Though we have developed this target for a specific storage device, Dell
EqualLogic, we have made an effort to keep it as general purpose as
possible in the hope that others may benefit.

This patch removes "io_lock" and "map_lock" in struct mapped_device and
"holders" in struct dm_table and replaces these mechanisms with
sleepable-rcu.
Previously, the code would call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_table_put" to
get and release table. Now, the code is changed to call "dm_get_live_table"
and "dm_put_live_table". dm_get_live_table locks sleepable-rcu and
dm_put_live_table unlocks it.
dm_get_live_table_fast/dm_put_live_table_fast can be used instead of
dm_get_live_table/dm_put_live_table. These *_fast functions use
non-sleepable RCU, so the caller must not block between them.
If the code changes active or inactive dm table, it must call
dm_sync_table before destroying the old table.

Fix a boundary condition that caused failure for certain device sizes.
The problem is reported at
http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/issues/detail?id=160
For certain device sizes the number of hashes at a specific level was
calculated incorrectly.
It happens for example for a device with data and metadata block size 4096
that has 16385 blocks and algorithm sha256.
The user can test if he is affected by this bug by running the
"veritysetup verify" command and also by activating the dm-verity kernel
driver and reading the whole block device. If it passes without an error,
then the user is not affected.
The condition for the bug is:
Split the total number of data blocks (data_block_bits) into bit strings,
each string has hash_per_block_bits bits. hash_per_block_bits is
rounddown(log2(metadata_block_size/hash_digest_size)). Equivalently, you
can say that you convert data_blocks_bits to 2^hash_per_block_bits base.
If there some zero bit string below the most significant bit string and at
least one bit below this zero bit string is set, then the bug happens.
The same bug exists in the userspace veritysetup tool, so you must use
fixed veritysetup too if you want to use devices that are affected by
this boundary condition.

Set noio flag while calling __vmalloc() because it doesn't fully respect
gfp flags to avoid a possible deadlock (see commit
502624bdad3dba45dfaacaf36b7d83e39e74b2d2).
This should be backported to stable kernels 3.8 and newer. The kernel 3.8
doesn't have memalloc_noio_save(), so we should set and restore process
flag PF_MEMALLOC instead.

When multipath needs to retry an ioctl the reference to the
current live table needs to be dropped. Otherwise a deadlock
occurs when all paths are down:
- dm_blk_ioctl takes a reference to the current table
and spins in multipath_ioctl().
- A new table is being loaded, but upon resume the process
hangs in dm_table_destroy() waiting for references to
drop to zero.
With this patch the reference to the old table is dropped
prior to retry, thereby avoiding the deadlock.
