Reimplement CPU hotplugging support using trustee thread. On CPU
down, a trustee thread is created and each step of CPU down is
executed by the trustee and workqueue_cpu_callback() simply drives and
waits for trustee state transitions.
CPU down operation no longer waits for works to be drained but trustee
sticks around till all pending works have been completed. If CPU is
brought back up while works are still draining,
workqueue_cpu_callback() tells trustee to step down and tell workers
to rebind to the cpu.
As it's difficult to tell whether cwqs are empty if it's freezing or
frozen, trustee doesn't consider draining to be complete while a gcwq
is freezing or frozen (tracked by new GCWQ_FREEZING flag). Also,
workers which get unbound from their cpu are marked with WORKER_ROGUE.
Trustee based implementation doesn't bring any new feature at this
point but it will be used to manage worker pool when dynamic shared
worker pool is implemented.

Currently, workqueue freezing is implemented by marking the worker
freezeable and calling try_to_freeze() from dispatch loop.
Reimplement it using cwq->limit so that the workqueue is frozen
instead of the worker.
* workqueue_struct->saved_max_active is added which stores the
specified max_active on initialization.
* On freeze, all cwq->max_active's are quenched to zero. Freezing is
complete when nr_active on all cwqs reach zero.
* On thaw, all cwq->max_active's are restored to wq->saved_max_active
and the worklist is repopulated.
This new implementation allows having single shared pool of workers
per cpu.

Add cwq->nr_active, cwq->max_active and cwq->delayed_work. nr_active
counts the number of active works per cwq. A work is active if it's
flushable (colored) and is on cwq's worklist. If nr_active reaches
max_active, new works are queued on cwq->delayed_work and activated
later as works on the cwq complete and decrement nr_active.
cwq->max_active can be specified via the new @max_active parameter to
__create_workqueue() and is set to 1 for all workqueues for now. As
each cwq has only single worker now, this double queueing doesn't
cause any behavior difference visible to its users.
This will be used to reimplement freeze/thaw and implement shared
worker pool.

A work is linked to the next one by having WORK_STRUCT_LINKED bit set
and these links can be chained. When a linked work is dispatched to a
worker, all linked works are dispatched to the worker's newly added
->scheduled queue and processed back-to-back.
Currently, as there's only single worker per cwq, having linked works
doesn't make any visible behavior difference. This change is to
prepare for multiple shared workers per cpu.

Reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works. wq has the
current work color which is painted on the works being issued via
cwqs. Flushing a workqueue is achieved by advancing the current work
colors of cwqs and waiting for all the works which have any of the
previous colors to drain.
Currently there are 16 possible colors, one is reserved for no color
and 15 colors are useable allowing 14 concurrent flushes. When color
space gets full, flush attempts are batched up and processed together
when color frees up, so even with many concurrent flushers, the new
implementation won't build up huge queue of flushers which has to be
processed one after another.
Only works which are queued via __queue_work() are colored. Works
which are directly put on queue using insert_work() use NO_COLOR and
don't participate in workqueue flushing. Currently only works used
for work-specific flush fall in this category.
This new implementation leaves only cleanup_workqueue_thread() as the
user of flush_cpu_workqueue(). Just make its users use
flush_workqueue() and kthread_stop() directly and kill
cleanup_workqueue_thread(). As workqueue flushing doesn't use barrier
request anymore, the comment describing the complex synchronization
around it in cleanup_workqueue_thread() is removed together with the
function.
This new implementation is to allow having and sharing multiple
workers per cpu.
Please note that one more bit is reserved for a future work flag by
this patch. This is to avoid shifting bits and updating comments
later.

work->data field is used for two purposes. It points to cwq it's
queued on and the lower bits are used for flags. Currently, two bits
are reserved which is always safe as 4 byte alignment is guaranteed on
every architecture. However, future changes will need more flag bits.
On SMP, the percpu allocator is capable of honoring larger alignment
(there are other users which depend on it) and larger alignment works
just fine. On UP, percpu allocator is a thin wrapper around
kzalloc/kfree() and don't honor alignment request.
This patch introduces WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS and implements
alloc/free_cwqs() which guarantees max(1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS,
__alignof__(unsigned long long) alignment both on SMP and UP. On SMP,
simply wrapping percpu allocator is enough. On UP, extra space is
allocated so that cwq can be aligned and the original pointer can be
stored after it which is used in the free path.
* Alignment problem on UP is reported by Michal Simek.

Work flags are about to see more traditional mask handling. Define
WORK_STRUCT_*_BIT as the bit position constant and redefine
WORK_STRUCT_* as bit masks. Also, make WORK_STRUCT_STATIC_* flags
conditional
While at it, re-define these constants as enums and use
WORK_STRUCT_STATIC instead of hard-coding 2 in
WORK_DATA_STATIC_INIT().

Make the following updates in preparation of concurrency managed
workqueue. None of these changes causes any visible behavior
difference.
* Add comments and adjust indentations to data structures and several
functions.
* Rename wq_per_cpu() to get_cwq() and swap the position of two
parameters for consistency. Convert a direct per_cpu_ptr() access
to wq->cpu_wq to get_cwq().
* Add work_static() and Update set_wq_data() such that it sets the
flags part to WORK_STRUCT_PENDING | WORK_STRUCT_STATIC if static |
@extra_flags.
* Move santiy check on work->entry emptiness from queue_work_on() to
__queue_work() which all queueing paths share.
* Make __queue_work() take @cpu and @wq instead of @cwq.
* Restructure flush_work() and __create_workqueue_key() to make them
easier to modify.

Currently, the accelerated receive path for VLAN's will
drop packets if the real device is an inactive slave and
is not one of the special pkts tested for in
skb_bond_should_drop(). This behavior is different then
the non-accelerated path and for pkts over a bonded vlan.
For example,
vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx
will be dropped in the vlan path and not delivered to any
packet handlers at all. However,
bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx
and
bond0 -> ethx
will be delivered to handlers that match the exact dev,
because the VLAN path checks the real_dev which is not a
slave and netif_recv_skb() doesn't drop frames but only
delivers them to exact matches.
This patch adds a sk_buff flag which is used for tagging
skbs that would previously been dropped and allows the
skb to continue to skb_netif_recv(). Here we add
logic to check for the deliver_no_wcard flag and if it
is set only deliver to handlers that match exactly. This
makes both paths above consistent and gives pkt handlers
a way to identify skbs that come from inactive slaves.
Without this patch in some configurations skbs will be
delivered to handlers with exact matches and in others
be dropped out right in the vlan path.
I have tested the following 4 configurations in failover modes
and load balancing modes.
# bond0 -> ethx
# vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx
# bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx
# bond0 -> ethx

If a filesystem writes more than one page in ->writepage, write_cache_pages
fails to notice this and continues to attempt writeback when wbc->nr_to_write
has gone negative - this trace was captured from XFS:
wbc_writeback_start: towrt=1024
wbc_writepage: towrt=1024
wbc_writepage: towrt=0
wbc_writepage: towrt=-1
wbc_writepage: towrt=-5
wbc_writepage: towrt=-21
wbc_writepage: towrt=-85
This has adverse effects on filesystem writeback behaviour. write_cache_pages()
needs to terminate after a certain number of pages are written, not after a
certain number of calls to ->writepage are made. This is a regression
introduced by 17bc6c30cf6bfffd816bdc53682dd46fc34a2cf4 ("vfs: Add
no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag"), but cannot be reverted
directly due to subsequent bug fixes that have gone in on top of it.

Concurrency managed workqueue needs to know when workers are going to
sleep and waking up. Using these two hooks, cmwq keeps track of the
current concurrency level and throttles execution of new works if it's
too high and wakes up another worker from the sleep hook if it becomes
too low.
This patch introduces PF_WQ_WORKER to identify workqueue workers and
adds the following two hooks.
* wq_worker_waking_up(): called when a worker is woken up.
* wq_worker_sleeping(): called when a worker is going to sleep and may
return a pointer to a local task which should be woken up. The
returned task is woken up using try_to_wake_up_local() which is
simplified ttwu which is called under rq lock and can only wake up
local tasks.
Both hooks are currently defined as noop in kernel/workqueue_sched.h.
Later cmwq implementation will replace them with proper
implementation.
These hooks are hard coded as they'll always be enabled.

cpu on/offlining
Currently, when a cpu goes down, cpu_active is cleared before
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE starts and cpuset configuration is updated from a
default priority cpu notifier. When a cpu is coming up, it's set
before CPU_ONLINE but cpuset configuration again is updated from the
same cpu notifier.
For cpu notifiers, this presents an inconsistent state. Threads which
a CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier expects to be bound to the CPU can be
migrated to other cpus because the cpu is no more inactive.
Fix it by updating cpu_active in the highest priority cpu notifier and
cpuset configuration in the second highest when a cpu is coming up.
Down path is updated similarly. This guarantees that all other cpu
notifiers see consistent cpu_active and cpuset configuration.
cpuset_track_online_cpus() notifier is converted to
cpuset_update_active_cpus() which just updates the configuration and
now called from cpuset_cpu_[in]active() notifiers registered from
sched_init_smp(). If cpuset is disabled, cpuset_update_active_cpus()
degenerates into partition_sched_domains() making separate notifier
for !CONFIG_CPUSETS unnecessary.
This problem is triggered by cmwq. During CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, hotplug
callback creates a kthread and kthread_bind()s it to the target cpu,
and the thread is expected to run on that cpu.
* Ingo's test discovered __cpuinit/exit markups were incorrect.
Fixed.

due to a bug in older versions of the ddx, it relies
on accel being disabled in order to load properly on

always returns false for evergreen cards.

When adding a module that depends on another one, we used to create a
one-way list of "modules_which_use_me", so that module unloading could
see who needs a module.
It's actually quite simple to make that list go both ways: so that we
not only can see "who uses me", but also see a list of modules that are
"used by me".
In fact, we always wanted that list in "module_unload_free()": when we
unload a module, we want to also release all the other modules that are
used by that module. But because we didn't have that list, we used to
first iterate over all modules, and then iterate over each "used by me"
list of that module.
By making the list two-way, we simplify module_unload_free(), and it
allows for some trivial fixes later too.

of u_long
task_struct->pesonality is "unsigned int", but sys_personality() paths use
"unsigned long pesonality". This means that every assignment or
comparison is not right. In particular, if this argument does not fit
into "unsigned int" __set_personality() changes the caller's personality
and then sys_personality() returns -EINVAL.
Turn this argument into "unsigned int" and avoid overflows. Obviously,
this is the user-visible change, we just ignore the upper bits. But this
can't break the sane application.
There is another thing which can confuse the poorly written applications.
User-space thinks that this syscall returns int, not long. This means
that the returned value can be negative and look like the error code. But
note that libc won't be confused and thus errno won't be set, and with
this patch the user-space can never get -1 unless sys_personality() really
fails. And, most importantly, the negative RET != -1 is only possible if
that app previously called personality(RET).

This changes the interface to be based on bytes instead. The API
matches that of F_SETPIPE_SZ in that it rounds up the passed in
size so that the resulting page array is a power-of-2 in size.
The proc file is renamed to /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size to
reflect this change.

The host may change the layout and, since the change is
communicated to the master, the master needs a way to
communicate the change to the kernel driver.
The minor version number is bumped to advertize the

Implement ata_scsi_unlock_native_capacity() which will be called
through SCSI layer when block layer notices that partitions on a
device extend beyond the end of the device. It requests EH to unlock
HPA, waits for completion and returns the current device capacity.
This allows libata to unlock HPA on demand instead of having to decide
whether to unlock upfront. Unlocking on demand is safer than
unlocking by upfront because some BIOSes write private data to the
area beyond HPA limit. This was suggested by Ben Hutchings.

Implement sd_unlock_native_capacity() method which calls into
hostt->unlock_native_capacity() if implemented. This will be invoked
by block layer if partitions extend beyond the end of the device and
can be used to implement, for example, on-demand ATA host protected
area unlocking.
