It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering
would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new
scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is.
It's essentially the difference between an explicit unplug (IO unplug)
or an implicit unplug (timer unplug, we scheduled with pending IO
queued).

Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
we should be able to get the best of both worlds.
So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
and only use that from the schedule() path.

For the explicit unplugging, we'd prefer to kick things off
immediately and not pay the penalty of the latency to switch
to kblockd. So let blk_finish_plug() do the run inline, while
the implicit-on-schedule-out unplug will punt to kblockd.

It's a bit of a mess currently. task->plug is being cleared
and reset in __blk_finish_plug(), and blk_finish_plug() is
testing for a NULL plug which cannot happen even from schedule()
anymore since it uses blk_needs_flush_plug() to determine
whether to call into this function at all.
So get rid of some of the cruft.

5520e89 ("brk: fix min_brk lower bound computation for COMPAT_BRK")
tried to get the whole logic of brk randomization for legacy
(libc5-based) applications finally right.
It turns out that the way to detect whether brk has actually been
randomized in the end or not introduced by that patch still doesn't work
for those binaries, as reported by Geert:
: /sbin/init from my old m68k ramdisk exists prematurely.
:
: Before the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80006000
:
: After the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80005c8e
:
: Old libc5 considers brk() to have failed if the return value is not
: identical to the requested value.
I don't like it, but currently see no better option than a bit flag in
task_struct to catch the CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK && randomize_va_space == 2
case.

Gaah. When commit be85bccaa5aa reverted the export of file system uuid
via /proc/<pid>/mountinfo, it also unintentionally removed the s_uuid
field in struct super_block.
I didn't mean to do that, since filesystems have been taught to fill it
in (and we want to keep it for future re-introduction in the mountinfo
file).

mfd: Fetch cell pointer from platform_device->mfd_cell
|
|
This reverts commit 93f1c20bc8cdb757be50566eff88d65c3b26881f.
It turns out that libmount misparses it because it adds a '-' character
in the uuid string, which libmount then incorrectly confuses with the
separator string (" - ") at the end of all the optional arguments.
Upstream libmount (in the util-linux tree) has been fixed, but until
that fix actually percolates up to users, we'd better not expose this
change in the kernel.
Let's revisit this later (possibly by exposing the UUID without any '-'
characters in it, avoiding the user-space bug).

In order for MFD drivers to fetch their cell pointer but also their
platform data one, an mfd cell pointer is added to the platform_device
structure.
That allows all MFD sub devices drivers to be MFD agnostic, unless
they really need to access their MFD cell data. Most of them don't,
especially the ones for IPs used by both MFD and non MFD SoCs.

Xen save/restore is going to use hibernate device callbacks for
quiescing devices and putting them back to normal operations and it
would need to select CONFIG_HIBERNATION for this purpose. However,
that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be
enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels
don't support hibernation. Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it
would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that
they would never use.
To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option
CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code
that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make
CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it. Then, Xen save/restore will be able to
select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire
hibernate code along with it.

Commit 1018b5c01636c7c6bda31a719bda34fc631db29a ("Set rt->rt_iif more
sanely on output routes.") breaks rt_is_{output,input}_route.
This became the cause to return "IP_PKTINFO's ->ipi_ifindex == 0".
To fix it, this does:
1) Add "int rt_route_iif;" to struct rtable
2) For input routes, always set rt_route_iif to same value as rt_iif
3) For output routes, always set rt_route_iif to zero. Set rt_iif
as it is done currently.
4) Change rt_is_{output,input}_route() to test rt_route_iif

When an interrupt occurs, the INT pin is driven low by the
MCP251x controller (falling edge) but in some cases the INT
pin can be connected to the MPU through a transistor or level
translator which inverts this signal. In this case interrupt
should be configured in rising edge.
This patch adds support to pass the IRQ flags via
mcp251x_platform_data.

The current block integrity (DIF/DIX) support in DM is verifying that
all devices' integrity profiles match during DM device resume (which
is past the point of no return). To some degree that is unavoidable
(stacked DM devices force this late checking). But for most DM
devices (which aren't stacking on other DM devices) the ideal time to
verify all integrity profiles match is during table load.
Introduce the notion of an "initialized" integrity profile: a profile
that was blk_integrity_register()'d with a non-NULL 'blk_integrity'
template. Add blk_integrity_is_initialized() to allow checking if a
profile was initialized.
Update DM integrity support to:
- check all devices with _initialized_ integrity profiles match
during table load; uninitialized profiles (e.g. for underlying DM
device(s) of a stacked DM device) are ignored.
- disallow a table load that would result in an integrity profile that
conflicts with a DM device's existing (in-use) integrity profile
- avoid clearing an existing integrity profile
- validate all integrity profiles match during resume; but if they
don't all we can do is report the mismatch (during resume we're past
the point of no return)

ipv6 fib lookup can set RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE flag to restrict search
to an interface, but this flag cannot be set via struct flowi.
Also, it cannot be set via ip6_route_output: this function uses the
passed sock struct to determine if this flag is required
(by testing for nonzero sk_bound_dev_if).
Work around this by passing in an artificial struct sk in case
'strict' argument is true.
This is required to replace the rt6_lookup call in xt_addrtype.c with

The documentation for the USB ethernet devices suggests that
only some devices are supposed to use usb0 as the network interface
name instead of eth0. The logic used there, and documented in
Kconfig for CDC is that eth0 will be used when the mac address
is a globally assigned one, but usb0 is used for the locally
managed range that is typically used on point-to-point links.
Unfortunately, this has caused a lot of pain on the smsc95xx
device that is used on the popular pandaboard without an
EEPROM to store the MAC address, which causes the driver to
call random_ether_address().
Obviously, there should be a proper MAC addressed assigned to
the device, and discussions are ongoing about how to solve
this, but this patch at least makes sure that the default
interface naming gets a little saner and matches what the
user can expect based on the documentation, including for
new devices.
The approach taken here is to flag whether a device might be a
point-to-point link with the new FLAG_POINTTOPOINT setting in
the usbnet driver_info. A driver can set both FLAG_POINTTOPOINT
and FLAG_ETHER if it is not sure (e.g. cdc_ether), or just one
of the two. The usbnet framework only looks at the MAC address
for device naming if both flags are set, otherwise it trusts the
flag.
