Workaround for errata SATA#24 in sata_mv.
This errata affects WRITE_MULTI* commands when
the device multi_count produces a DRQ block size >= 4Kbytes.
We work around it here by converting such operations
into ordinary PIO_WRITEs instead.
Note that this might result in a PIO FUA write unavoidably being converted
into a non-FUA write. In practice, any system using FUA is also going to be
using DMA rather than PIO, so this shouldn't affect anyone in the real world.

Tetsuo Handa reports seeing the WARN_ON(current->mm == NULL) in
security_vm_enough_memory(), when do_execve() is touching the
target mm's stack, to set up its args and environment.
Yes, a UMH_NO_WAIT or UMH_WAIT_PROC call_usermodehelper() spawns
an mm-less kernel thread to do the exec. And in any case, that
vm_enough_memory check when growing stack ought to be done on the
target mm, not on the execer's mm (though apart from the warning,
it only makes a slight tweak to OVERCOMMIT_NEVER behaviour).

This reverts commit f520360d93cdc37de5d972dac4bf3bdef6a7f6a7.
Tetsuo Handa, running a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y and
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH=/sbin/hotplug, has been hitting RCU detected
CPU stalls: it's been spinning in the loop where do_execve() counts up
the args (but why wasn't fixup_exception working? dunno).
The recent change, switching kobject_uevent_env() from UMH_WAIT_EXEC
to UMH_NO_WAIT, is broken: the exec uses args on the local stack here,
and an env which is kfreed as soon as call_usermodehelper() returns.
It very much needs to wait for the exec to be done.
An alternative would be to keep the UMH_NO_WAIT, and complicate the code
to allocate and free these resources correctly? but no, as GregKH
pointed out when making the commit, CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" is a
much better optimization - though some distros are still saying
/sbin/hotplug in their .config, yet with no such binary in their initrd
or their root.

The legacy old IDE ioctl API for this is a bit primitive so we try
and map stuff sensibly onto it.
- Set PIO over DMA devices to report 32bit
- Add ability to change the PIO32 settings if the controller permits it
- Add that functionality into the sff drivers
- Add that functionality into the VLB legacy driver
- Turn on the 32bit PIO on the ninja32 and add support there

This patch correctly sets BAU memory mapped registers to point
to the sending activation descriptor table and target payload table.
The "Broadcast Assist Unit" is used for TLB shootdown in UV.
The memory mapped registers that point to sending and receiving
memory structures contain node numbers.
In one case the __pa() function did not provide the node id of
memory on blade zero in configurations where that id is nonzero.
In another case, it was assumed that memory was allocated on
the local node. That assumption is not true in a configuration
in which the node has no memory.
Tested on the UV hardware simulator.

block_write_full_page doesn't allow the caller to control what happens
when the IO is over. This adds a new call named block_write_full_page_endio
so the buffer head end_io handler can be provided by the caller.
This will be used by the ext3 data=guarded mode to do i_size updates in
a workqueue based end_io handler. end_buffer_async_write is also
exported so it can be called to do the dirty work of managing page
writeback for the higher level end_io handler.

...
static void _rcu_barrier(enum rcu_barrier type)
{
...
wait_migrated_callbacks();
}
...
static inline void wait_migrated_callbacks(void)
{
wait_event(rcu_migrate_wq, !atomic_read(&rcu_migrate_type_count));
}
as it upsets some versions of gcc under some circumstances:
kernel/rcupdate.c: In function `_rcu_barrier':
kernel/rcupdate.c:125: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in call to 'wait_migrated_callbacks': function body not available
kernel/rcupdate.c:152: sorry, unimplemented: called from here
This can be dealt with by simply putting the static variables (rcu_migrate_*)
at the top, and moving the implementation of the function up so that it
replaces its forward declaration.

Stop gcc from generating uninitialised variable warnings after BUG(). The
problem is that MN10300's implementation of BUG() invokes system call 15 which
doesn't return - but there's no way to tell the compiler that and also emit the
bug table element with the correct file and line data.
So instead, we make the do...while wrapper in _debug_bug_trap() an endless loop
from which there's no escape.
Also, while we're at it, (1) get rid of _debug_bug_trap() and just implement
directly as BUG(), and (2) make the implementation of BUG() contingent on
CONFIG_BUG=y.

It turns out that 'smp_call_function_many()' doesn't work at all like
'smp_call_function_single()', and my change to Andrew's patch to use it
rather than a loop over all CPU's acpi-cpufreq doesn't work.
My bad.
'smp_call_function_many()' has two "features" (aka "documented bugs"):
(a) it needs to be called with preemption disabled, because it uses
smp_processor_id() without guarding the CPU lookup with 'get_cpu()'
and 'put_cpu()' like the 'single' variant does.
(b) even if the current CPU is part of the CPU mask, it won't do the
call on that CPU.
Still, we're better off trying to use 'smp_call_function_many()' than
looping over CPU's, since it at least in theory allows us to use a
broadcast IPI and do it all in parallel. So let's just work around the
silly semantic bugs in that function.

If we have processes that are working in close proximity to each
other on disk, we don't want to idle wait. Instead allow the close
process to issue a request, getting better aggregate bandwidth.
The anticipatory scheduler has similar checks, noop and deadline do
not need it since they don't care about process <-> io mappings.
The code for CFQ is a little more involved though, since we split
request queues into per-process contexts.
This fixes a performance problem with eg dump(8), since it uses
several processes in some silly attempt to speed IO up. Even if
dump(8) isn't really a valid case (it should be fixed by using
CLONE_IO), there are other cases where we see close processes
and where idling ends up hurting performance.
Credit goes to Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> for writing the

There are lots of sequences like this, especially in splice code:
if (pipe->inode)
mutex_lock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex);
/* do something */
if (pipe->inode)
mutex_unlock(&pipe->inode->i_mutex);
so introduce helpers which do the conditional locking and unlocking.
Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock()
helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the
pipe code.
This patch is just a cleanup, and should cause no behavioral changes.

Remove the now unused generic_file_splice_write_nolock() function.
It's conceptually broken anyway, because splice may need to wait for
pipe events so holding locks across the whole operation is wrong.

Rearrange locking of i_mutex on destination and call to
ocfs2_rw_lock() so locks are only held while buffers are copied with
the pipe_to_file() actor, and not while waiting for more data on the
pipe.
