Many TVs and A/V receivers don't work with this bit set. Problem was
confirmed using: Onkyo TX-SR605, Sony BRAVIA KDL-52X3500, Sony BRAVIA
KDL-40S40xx. In theory this bit shouldn't affect audio engine when
feeding it with data, however it seems it does. Driver fglrx doesn't set
that bit in any of the above cases.
This fixes a regression introduced by 3.5-rc1.

By correctly describing the rinbuffers as being in the GTT domain, it
appears that we are more careful with the management of the CPU cache
upon resume and so prevent some coherency issue when submitting commands
to the GPU later. A secondary effect is that the debug logs are then
consistent with the actual usage (i.e. they no longer describe the
ringbuffers as being in the CPU write domain when we are accessing them
through an wc iomapping.)

Cyrill Gorcunov reports that I broke the fdinfo files with commit
30a08bf2d31d ("proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into
tid_fd_revalidate()"), and he's quite right.
The tid_fd_revalidate() function is not just used for the <tid>/fd
symlinks, it's also used for the <tid>/fdinfo/<fd> files, and the
permission model for those are different.
So do the dynamic symlink permission handling just for symlinks, making
the fdinfo files once more appear as the proper regular files they are.
Of course, Al Viro argued (probably correctly) that we shouldn't do the
symlink permission games at all, and make the symlinks always just be
the normal 'lrwxrwxrwx'. That would have avoided this issue too, but
since somebody noticed that the permissions had changed (which was the
reason for that original commit 30a08bf2d31d in the first place), people
do apparently use this feature.
[ Basically, you can use the symlink permission data as a cheap "fdinfo"
replacement, since you see whether the file is open for reading and/or
writing by just looking at st_mode of the symlink. So the feature
does make sense, even if the pain it has caused means we probably
shouldn't have done it to begin with. ]

Commit e605b743f33d ("IB/mlx4: Increase the number of vectors (EQs)
available for ULPs") didn't handle correctly the case where there
aren't enough MSI-X vectors to increase the number of EQs, so only the
legacy EQs are allocated. This results in an attempt to memset() to
zero the EQ table which was never allocated and a kernel crash.
Fix this by checking in the teardown flow if the table of EQs was ever
allocated. Also remove some unneeded setting to zero of the EQ
related fields in struct mlx4_ib_dev.

Initial IVB support went into turbostat in Linux-3.1:
553575f1ae048aa44682b46b3c51929a0b3ad337
(tools turbostat: recognize and run properly on IVB)
However, when running on IVB, turbostat would fail
to report the new couters added with SNB, c7, pc2 and pc7.
So in scenarios where these counters are non-zero on IVB,
turbostat would report erroneous residencey results.
In particular c7 time would be added to c1 time,
since c1 time is calculated as "that which is left over".
Also, turbostat reports MHz capabilities when passed
the "-v" option, and it would incorrectly report 133MHz
bclk instead of 100MHz bclk for IVB, which would inflate
GHz reported with that option.
This patch is a backport of a fix already included in turbostat v2.

15aaa34654831e98dd76f7738b6c7f5d05a66430
(tools turbostat: reduce measurement overhead due to IPIs)
In the use-case where turbostat forks a child program,
that change had the un-intended side-effect of binding
the child to the last cpu in the system.
This change removed the binding before forking the child.
This is a back-port of a fix already included in turbostat v2.

This reverts commit 5ceb9ce6fe9462a298bb2cd5c9f1ca6cb80a0199.
That commit seems to be the cause of the mm compation list corruption

New tmpfs use of !PageUptodate pages for fallocate() is triggering the
WARNING: at mm/page-writeback.c:1990 when __set_page_dirty_nobuffers()
is called from migrate_page_copy() for compaction.
It is anomalous that migration should use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers()
on an address_space that does not participate in dirty and writeback
accounting; and this has also been observed to insert surprising dirty
tags into a tmpfs radix_tree, despite tmpfs not using tags at all.
We should probably give migrate_page_copy() a better way to preserve the
tag and migrate accounting info, when mapping_cap_account_dirty(). But
that needs some more work: so in the interim, avoid the warning by using
a simple SetPageDirty on PageSwapBacked pages.

The comment above it says "Stat data, not accessed from path walking",
but in fact some of inode fields we use for the common stat data was way
down at the end of the inode, causing unnecessary cache misses for the
common stat operations.
The inode structure is pretty big, and this can change padding depending
on field width, but at least on the common 64-bit configurations this
doesn't change the size. Some of our inode layout has historically been
to tro to avoid unnecessary padding fields, but cache locality is at
least as important for layout, if not more.
Noticed by looking at kernel profiles, and noticing that the "i_blkbits"
access stood out like a sore thumb.

Convert to use O_DSYNC for all cases at FILEIO backend creation time to
avoid the extra syncing of pure timestamp updates with legacy O_SYNC during
default operation as recommended by hch. Continue to do this independently of
Write Cache Enable (WCE) bit, as WCE=0 is currently the default for all backend
devices and enabled by user on per device basis via attrib/emulate_write_cache.
This patch drops the now unnecessary fd_buffered_io= token usage that was
originally signalling when to explictly disable O_SYNC at backend creation
time for buffered I/O operation. This can end up being dangerous for a number
of reasons during physical node failure, so go ahead and drop this option
for now when O_DSYNC is used as the default.
Also allow explict FUA WRITEs -> vfs_fsync_range() call to function in
fd_execute_cmd() independently of WCE bit setting.

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.
Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.
Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:
thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>
Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools
Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:
i) Incremental backups.
By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
the data doesn't change while we back it up.
A short proof of concept script can be found here:
https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb
ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.
iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.
iv) Asyncronous replication.

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.
With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.
Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.
Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available,
set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying.
If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is
getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right
away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a
few seconds or even several minutes.
