Btrfs maintains a queue of async bio submissions so the checksumming
threads don't have to wait on get_request_wait. In order to avoid
extra wakeups, this code has a running_pending flag that is used
to tell new submissions they don't need to wake the thread.
When the threads notice congestion on a single device, they
may decide to requeue the job and move on to other devices. This
makes sure the running_pending flag is cleared before the
job is requeued.
It should help avoid IO stalls by making sure the task is woken up
when new submissions come in.

This reverts commit 98e6e286d7b01deb7453b717aa38ebb69d6cefc0, as Yinghai
Lu reports that it breaks kexec with at least the e1000 and e1000e
drivers. The reason is that the shutdown sequence puts the hardware
into D3 sleep, and the commit causes us to claim that it then is in D0
(running) state just because we don't understand the PM capabilities.
Which then later makes "pci_set_power_state()" not do anything, and the
device never wakes up properly and just returns 0xff to everything.

Cavium OCTEON processor support was recently merged, so now we have

Most OCTEON variants have *no* DMA or interrupt support on the CF

available, we do take advantage of it.

This is an initial patch to do support for objects which needs physical
contiguous main ram, cursors and overlay registers on older chipsets.
These objects are bound on cursor bin, like pinning, and we copy
the data to/from the backing store object into the real one on attach/detach.
notes:
possible over the top in attach/detach operations.
no overlay support yet.

When mode setting is first initialized, the driver will call into
drm_helper_initial_config() to set up an initial output and framebuffer
configuration. This routine is responsible for probing the available
connectors, encoders, and crtcs, looking for modes and putting together
something reasonable (where reasonable is defined as "allows kernel
messages to be visible on as many displays as possible").
However, the code was a bit too aggressive in setting default modes when
none were found on a given connector. Even if some connectors had modes,
any connectors found lacking modes would have the default 800x600 mode added
to their mode list, which in some cases could cause problems later down the
line. In my case, the LVDS was perfectly available, but the initial config
code added 800x600 modes to both of the detected but unavailable HDMI
connectors (which are on my non-existent docking station). This ended up
preventing later code from setting a mode on my LVDS, which is bad.
This patch fixes that behavior by making the initial config code walk
through the connectors first, counting the available modes, before it decides
to add any default modes to a possibly connected output. It also fixes the
logic in drm_target_preferred() that was causing zeroed out modes to be set
as the preferred mode for a given connector, even if no modes were available.

This patch removes the tty->low_latency setting.
For irq based hvc_console backends the tty->low_latency must be set to 0,
because the tty_flip_buffer_push() function must not be called from IRQ context
(see drivers/char/tty_buffer.c).
For polled backends, the low_latency setting causes the bug trace below, because
tty_flip_buffer_push() is called within an atomic context and subsequent calls
might sleep due to mutex_lock.

The PAPR says that the property for specifying the number of SLBs should
be called "slb-size". We currently only look for "ibm,slb-size" because
this is what firmware actually presents.
This patch makes us look for the "slb-size" property as well and in
preference to the "ibm,slb-size". This should future proof us if
firmware changes to match PAPR.

If INET=y and INFINIBAND=y, but IPV6=m then INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS is set
to n and the RDMA CM functions rdma_connect() et al are not built.
However, the current config dependencies allow NET_9P_RDMA to be selected
in this, which leads to a build failure. Fix this by adding a dependency
on INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS to disallow NET_9P_RDMA in this case.

Move the second part of the HP laptop disk protection functionality (a red
led) to the same driver. From a purely Linux developer's point of view,
the led and the accelerometer have nothing related. However, they
correspond to the same ACPI functionality, and so will always be used
together, moreover as they share the same ACPI PNP alias, there is no
other simple to allow to have same loaded at the same time if they are not
in the same module. Also make it requires the led class to compile and
update the Kconfig text.

David points out that the idr_remove_all() function returns unused slabs
to the kmem cache, but needs to zero them first or else they will be
uninitialized upon next use. This causes crashes which have been observed
in the firewire subsystem.
He fixed this by zeroing the object before freeing it in idr_remove_all().
But we agree that simply removing the constructor and zeroing the object
at allocation time is simpler than relying upon slab constructor machinery
and might even be faster.
This problem was introduced by "idr: make idr_remove rcu-safe" (commit
cf481c20c476ad2c0febdace9ce23f5a4db19582), which was first released in
2.6.27.
There are no known codesites which trigger this bug in 2.6.27 or 2.6.28.
The post-2.6.28 firewire changes are the only known triggerer.
There might of course be not-yet-discovered triggerers in 2.6.27 and
2.6.28, and there might be out-of-tree triggerers which are added to those
kernel versions. I'll let the -stable guys decide whether they want to
backport this fix.
