when requesting a GPIO for the first time, the POLAR setting is not
set to a sane state. this can lead to indeterminate behavior that
cannot be resolved without an explicit write to the Blackfin port POLAR
register.
when requesting a GPIO for the first time via gpio_request(), the POLAR
setting for the GPIO in question should be set to sane state. this
should occur if the GPIO has not been allocated in any other way.
some examples:
- when doing something like "request_irq(); gpio_request();" on the
same GPIO, the POLAR setting should not be reset.
- when doing "gpio_request(); gpio_request();" on the same GPIO, the
POLAR setting should be reset only the first time and not the second.

Commit 05fe478dd04e02fa230c305ab9b5616669821dd3 introduced some
@wbc->nr_to_write breakage.
It made the following changes:
1. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write instead of nr_to_write
2. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write _only_ if wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE
3. If synced nr_to_write pages, stop only if if wbc->sync_mode ==
WB_SYNC_NONE, otherwise keep going.
However, according to the commit message, the intention was to only make
change 3. Change 1 is a bug. Change 2 does not seem to be necessary,
and it breaks UBIFS expectations, so if needed, it should be done
separately later. And change 2 does not seem to be documented in the
commit message.
This patch does the following:
1. Undo changes 1 and 2
2. Add a comment explaining change 3 (it very useful to have comments
in _code_, not only in the commit).

3Gbps is often much more prone to transmission failures. It's usually
okay to let EH handle speed down after transmission failures but some
WD My Book drives completely shutdown after certain transmission
failures and after it only power cycling can revive them. Combined
with the fact that external drives often end up with cable assembly
which is longer than usual and more likely to have intervening gender,
this makes these drives very likely to shutdown under certain
configurations virtually rendering them unusable.
This patch implements HOARKGE_1_5_GBPS and applies it to WD My Book
such that 1.5Gbps is forced once the device is identified.

Let -EAGAIN from EH device handling routines trigger EH retry without
consuming its tries count. This will be used to implement link SPD
horkage which requires hardreset to adjust SPD without affecting other
EH decisions. As it bypasses the forward progress guarantee provided
by the tries count, the requester is responsible for ensuring forward
progress.

When link is flaky at high speed, it isn't uncommon for a device to
repeatedly fail probing sequence early after successfully negotiating
high link speed. This often leads to consecutive hotplug events
without successful probing.
This patch improves libata EH such that it remembers probing trials
and if there have been more than two unsuccessful trials in the past
60 seconds, slows down link speed to 1.5Gbps.
As link speed negotiation is the duty of the PHY layer proper, the
goal of this fallback mechanism is to provide the last resort when
everything else fails, which unfortunately happens not too
infrequently, so no fancy 6->3->1.5 speeding down or highest
successful transmission speed seen kind of logics (yet).

dev->ering used to be cleared together with the rest of ata_device in
ata_dev_init() which is called whenever a probing event occurs.
dev->ering is about to be used to track probing failures so it needs
to remain persistent over multiple porbing events. This patch
achieves this by doing the following.
* Instead of CLEAR_OFFSET, define CLEAR_BEGIN and CLEAR_END and only
clear between BEGIN and END. ering is moved after END. The split
of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head.
* ering is explicitly cleared on ata_dev_disable() and when device
attach succeeds. So, ering is persistent throug a device's life
time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods
inbetween disablement of an attached device and successful detection
of the next one.

The dev->pio_mode > XFER_PIO_0 test is there to avoid unnecessary
speed down warning messages but it accidentally disabled SATA link spd
down during configuration phase after reset where PIO mode is always
zero.
This patch fixes the problem by moving the test where it belongs.
This makes libata probing sequence behave better when the connection
is flaky at higher link speeds which isn't too uncommon for eSATA

The host really shouldn't be notifying us of config changes
before the device status is VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER or
VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK.
However, if we do happen to be interrupted while we're not
attached to a driver, we really shouldn't oops. Prevent
this simply by checking that device->driver is non-NULL
before trying to notify the driver of config changes.

Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y) is
using a lot of memory.
Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines.
This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() &
percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage.
Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use
nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes.
On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce
size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module)
Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses
because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better
NUMA properties, since each CPU will use storage on its preferred node,
thanks to percpu storage.

When two nodes holding PR locks on a resource concurrently attempt to
upconvert the locks to EX, the master sends a BAST to one of the nodes. This
message tells that node to first cancel convert the upconvert request,
followed by downconvert to a NL. Only when this lock is downconverted to NL,
can the master upconvert the first node's lock to EX.
While the fs was doing the cancel convert, it was forgetting to wake up the
dc thread after a successful cancel, leading to a deadlock.

In ocfs2_xattr_value_truncate, we may call b-tree codes which will
extend the journal transaction. It has a potential problem that it
may let the already-accessed-but-not-dirtied buffers gone. So we'd
better access the bucket after we call ocfs2_xattr_value_truncate.
And as for the root buffer for the xattr value, b-tree code will
acess and dirty it, so we don't need to worry about it.

When attaching default groups (subdirs) of a new group (in mkdir() or
in configfs_register()), configfs recursively takes inode's mutexes
along the path from the parent of the new group to the default
subdirs. This is needed to ensure that the VFS will not race with
operations on these sub-dirs. This is safe for the following reasons:
- the VFS allows one to lock first an inode and second one of its
children (The lock subclasses for this pattern are respectively
I_MUTEX_PARENT and I_MUTEX_CHILD);
- from this rule any inode path can be recursively locked in
descending order as long as it stays under a single mountpoint and
does not follow symlinks.
Unfortunately lockdep does not know (yet?) how to handle such
recursion.
I've tried to use Peter Zijlstra's lock_set_subclass() helper to
upgrade i_mutexes from I_MUTEX_CHILD to I_MUTEX_PARENT when we know
that we might recursively lock some of their descendant, but this
usage does not seem to fit the purpose of lock_set_subclass() because
it leads to several i_mutex locked with subclass I_MUTEX_PARENT by
the same task.
>From inside configfs it is not possible to serialize those recursive
locking with a top-level one, because mkdir() and rmdir() are already
called with inodes locked by the VFS. So using some
mutex_lock_nest_lock() is not an option.
I am proposing two solutions:
1) one that wraps recursive mutex_lock()s with
lockdep_off()/lockdep_on().
2) (as suggested earlier by Peter Zijlstra) one that puts the
i_mutexes recursively locked in different classes based on their
depth from the top-level config_group created. This
induces an arbitrary limit (MAX_LOCK_DEPTH - 2 == 46) on the
nesting of configfs default groups whenever lockdep is activated
but this limit looks reasonably high. Unfortunately, this alos
isolates VFS operations on configfs default groups from the others
and thus lowers the chances to detect locking issues.
This patch implements solution 1).
Solution 2) looks better from lockdep's point of view, but fails with
configfs_depend_item(). This needs to rework the locking
scheme of configfs_depend_item() by removing the variable lock recursion
depth, and I think that it's doable thanks to the configfs_dirent_lock.
For now, let's stick to solution 1).

It could happen that some limit has been set via quotactl() and in parallel
->mark_dirty() is called from another thread doing e.g. dquot_alloc_space(). In
such case ocfs2_write_dquot() must not try to sync the dquot because that needs
global quota lock but that ranks above transaction start.

Dropping of last reference to dentry lock is a complicated operation involving
dropping of reference to inode. This can get complicated and quota code in
particular needs to obtain some quota locks which leads to potential deadlock.
Thus we defer dropping of inode reference to ocfs2_wq.
