79e539453b DRM: i915: add mode setting support
This commit adds i915 driver support for the DRM mode setting APIs.
Currently, VGA, LVDS, SDVO DVI & VGA, TV and DVO LVDS outputs are
supported.  HDMI, DisplayPort and additional SDVO output support will
follow.

Support for the mode setting code is controlled by the new 'modeset'
module option.  A new config option, CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS controls the
default behavior, and whether a PCI ID list is built into the module for
use by user level module utilities.

Note that if mode setting is enabled, user level drivers that access
display registers directly or that don't use the kernel graphics memory
manager will likely corrupt kernel graphics memory, disrupt output
configuration (possibly leading to hangs and/or blank displays), and
prevent panic/oops messages from appearing.  So use caution when
enabling this code; be sure your user level code supports the new
interfaces.

A new SysRq key, 'g', provides emergency support for switching back to
the kernel's framebuffer console; which is useful for testing.

f453ba0460 DRM: add mode setting support
Add mode setting support to the DRM layer.

This is a fairly big chunk of work that allows DRM drivers to provide
full output control and configuration capabilities to userspace.  It was
motivated by several factors:
  - the fb layer's APIs aren't suited for anything but simple
    configurations
  - coordination between the fb layer, DRM layer, and various userspace
    drivers is poor to non-existent (radeonfb excepted)
  - user level mode setting drivers makes displaying panic & oops
    messages more difficult
  - suspend/resume of graphics state is possible in many more
    configurations with kernel level support

This commit just adds the core DRM part of the mode setting APIs.
Driver specific commits using these new structure and APIs will follow.

1147c9cdd0 drm: fix leak of uninitialized data to userspace
...so drm_getunique() is trying to copy some uninitialized data to
userspace. The ECX register contains the number of words that are
left to copy -- so there are 5 * 4 = 20 bytes left. The offset of the
first uninitialized byte (counting from the start of the string) is
also 20 (i.e. 0xf65d2294&((1 << 5)-1) == 20). So somebody tried to
copy 40 bytes when the string was only 19 long.

In drm_set_busid() we have this code:

        dev->unique_len = 40;
        dev->unique = drm_alloc(dev->unique_len + 1, DRM_MEM_DRIVER);
      ...
        len = snprintf(dev->unique, dev->unique_len, pci:%04x:%02x:%02x.%d",

...so it seems that dev->unique is never updated to reflect the
actual length of the string. The remaining bytes (20 in this case)
are random uninitialized bytes that are copied into userspace.

This patch fixes the problem by setting dev->unique_len after the
snprintf().

airlied- I've had to fix this up to store the alloced size so
we have it for drm_free later.

7c1c2871a6 drm: move to kref per-master structures.
This is step one towards having multiple masters sharing a drm
device in order to get fast-user-switching to work.

It splits out the information associated with the drm master
into a separate kref counted structure, and allocates this when
a master opens the device node. It also allows the current master
to abdicate (say while VT switched), and a new master to take over
the hardware.

It moves the Intel and radeon drivers to using the sarea from
within the new master structures.

a6f23657d3 block: add one-hit cache for disk partition lookup
disk_map_sector_rcu() returns a partition from a sector offset,
which we use for IO statistics on a per-partition basis. The
lookup itself is an O(N) list lookup, where N is the number of
partitions. This actually hurts performance quite a bit, even
on the lower end partitions. On higher numbered partitions,
it can get pretty bad.

Solve this by adding a one-hit cache for partition lookup.
This makes the lookup O(1) for the case where we do most IO to
one partition. Even for mixed partition workloads, amortized cost
is pretty close to O(1) since the natural IO batching makes the
one-hit cache last for lots of IOs.

abf137dd77 aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless
The mm->ioctx_list is currently protected by a reader-writer lock,
so we always grab that lock on the read side for doing ioctx
lookups. As the workload is extremely reader biased, turn this into
an rcu hlist so we can make lookup_ioctx() lockless. Get rid of
the rwlock and use a spinlock for providing update side exclusion.

There's usually only 1 entry on this list, so it doesn't make sense
to look into fancier data structures.

392ddc3298 bio: add support for inlining a number of bio_vecs inside the bio
When we go and allocate a bio for IO, we actually do two allocations.
One for the bio itself, and one for the bi_io_vec that holds the
actual pages we are interested in.

This feature inlines a definable amount of io vecs inside the bio
itself, so we eliminate the bio_vec array allocation for IO's up
to a certain size. It defaults to 4 vecs, which is typically 16k
of IO.

bb799ca020 bio: allow individual slabs in the bio_set
Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one
in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs
in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes.

This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may
want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation
more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio.
Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end
of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now

7ff9345ffa bio: only mempool back the largest bio_vec slab cache
We only very rarely need the mempool backing, so it makes sense to
get rid of all but one of the mempool in a bio_set. So keep the
largest bio_vec count mempool so we can always honor the largest
allocation, and "upgrade" callers that fail.

58eea927d2 block: simplify empty barrier implementation
Empty barrier required special handling in __elv_next_request() to
complete it without letting the low level driver see it.

With previous changes, barrier code is now flexible enough to skip the
BAR step using the same barrier sequence selection mechanism.  Drop
the special handling and mask off q->ordered from start_ordered().

Remove blk_empty_barrier() test which now has no user.

8f11b3e99a block: make barrier completion more robust
Barrier completion had the following assumptions.

* start_ordered() couldn't finish the whole sequence properly.  If all
  actions are to be skipped, q->ordseq is set correctly but the actual
  completion was never triggered thus hanging the barrier request.

* Drain completion in elv_complete_request() assumed that there's
  always at least one request in the queue when drain completes.

Both assumptions are true but these assumptions need to be removed to
improve empty barrier implementation.  This patch makes the following
changes.

* Make start_ordered() use blk_ordered_complete_seq() to mark skipped
  steps complete and notify __elv_next_request() that it should fetch
  the next request if the whole barrier has completed inside
  start_ordered().

* Make drain completion path in elv_complete_request() check whether
  the queue is empty.  Empty queue also indicates drain completion.

* While at it, convert 0/1 return from blk_do_ordered() to false/true.

f671620e7d block: make every barrier action optional
In all barrier sequences, the barrier write itself was always assumed
to be issued and thus didn't have corresponding control flag.  This
patch adds QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_BAR and unify action mask handling in
start_ordered() such that any barrier action can be skipped.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

This change is necessary to add QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_BAR and make it

64d01dc9e1 block: use cancel_work_sync() instead of kblockd_flush_work()
After many improvements on kblockd_flush_work, it is now identical to
cancel_work_sync, so a direct call to cancel_work_sync is suggested.

The only difference is that cancel_work_sync is a GPL symbol,
so no non-GPL modules anymore.

08bafc0341 block: Supress Buffer I/O errors when SCSI REQ_QUIET flag set
Allow the scsi request REQ_QUIET flag to be propagated to the buffer
file system layer. The basic ideas is to pass the flag from the scsi
request to the bio (block IO) and then to the buffer layer.  The buffer
layer can then suppress needless printks.

This patch declutters the kernel log by removed the 40-50 (per lun)
buffer io error messages seen during a boot in my multipath setup . It
is a good chance any real errors will be missed in the "noise" it the
logs without this patch.

During boot I see blocks of messages like
"
__ratelimit: 211 callbacks suppressed
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242847
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 1
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242878
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242872
"
in my logs.

My disk environment is multipath fiber channel using the SCSI_DH_RDAC
code and multipathd.  This topology includes an "active" and "ghost"
path for each lun. IO's to the "ghost" path will never complete and the
SCSI layer, via the scsi device handler rdac code, quick returns the IOs
to theses paths and sets the REQ_QUIET scsi flag to suppress the scsi
layer messages.

 I am wanting to extend the QUIET behavior to include the buffer file
system layer to deal with these errors as well. I have been running this
patch for a while now on several boxes without issue.  A few runs of
bonnie++ show no noticeable difference in performance in my setup.

Thanks for John Stultz for the quiet_error finalization.

ece180d1cf libata: perform port detach in EH
ata_port_detach() first made sure EH saw ATA_PFLAG_UNLOADING and then
assumed EH context belongs to it and performed detach operation
itself.  However, UNLOADING doesn't disable all of EH and this could
lead to problems including triggering WARN_ON()'s in EH path.

This patch makes port detach behave more like other EH actions such
that ata_port_detach() requests EH to detach and waits for completion.

1eca4365be libata: beef up iterators
There currently are the following looping constructs.

* __ata_port_for_each_link() for all available links
* ata_port_for_each_link() for edge links
* ata_link_for_each_dev() for all devices
* ata_link_for_each_dev_reverse() for all devices in reverse order

Now there's a need for looping construct which is similar to
__ata_port_for_each_link() but iterates over PMP links before the host
link.  Instead of adding another one with long name, do the following
cleanup.

* Implement and export ata_link_next() and ata_dev_next() which take
  @mode parameter and can be used to build custom loop.
* Implement ata_for_each_link() and ata_for_each_dev() which take
  looping mode explicitly.

The following iteration modes are implemented.

* ATA_LITER_EDGE		: loop over edge links
* ATA_LITER_HOST_FIRST		: loop over all links, host link first
* ATA_LITER_PMP_FIRST		: loop over all links, PMP links first

* ATA_DITER_ENABLED		: loop over enabled devices
* ATA_DITER_ENABLED_REVERSE	: loop over enabled devices in reverse order
* ATA_DITER_ALL			: loop over all devices
* ATA_DITER_ALL_REVERSE		: loop over all devices in reverse order

This change removes exlicit device enabledness checks from many loops
and makes it clear which ones are iterated over in which direction.
