cannot revert the file size updates that were made on the server.

f044636d97 NFS: Add attribute update barriers to nfs_setattr_update_inode()
Ensure that other operations which raced with our setattr RPC call
cannot revert the file attribute changes that were made on the server.
To do so, we artificially bump the attribute generation counter on
the inode so that all calls to nfs_fattr_init() that precede ours
will be dropped.

The motivation for the patch came from Chuck Lever's reports of readaheads
racing with truncate operations and causing the file size to be reverted.

aa5accea40 NFS: Ensure that buffered writes wait for O_DIRECT writes to complete
The O_DIRECT code will grab the inode->i_mutex and flush out buffered
writes, before scheduling a read or a write. However there is no
equivalent in the buffered write code to wait for O_DIRECT to complete.

Fixes a reported issue in xfstests generic/133, when first performing an
O_DIRECT write followed by a buffered write.

91b3a68558 staging: lustre: Convert uses of "int rc = seq_printf(...)"
The seq_printf return value, because it's frequently misused,
will eventually be converted to void.

See: commit 1f33c41c03 ("seq_file: Rename seq_overflow() to
     seq_has_overflowed() and make public")

Convert these uses to:

	seq_printf(seq, ...);

	return 0;

Done via cocci script:

@@
struct seq_file *seq;
int i;
@@
-	i = seq_printf(seq,
+	seq_printf(seq,
		   ...);
	...
-	return i;
+	return 0;

@@
struct seq_file *seq;
int i;
@@
-	i = 0;
-	i += seq_printf(seq,
+	seq_printf(seq,
	           ...);
	...
-	return i;
+	return 0;

With some additional reformatting and typing post conversion
to remove the now unnecessary "int i;" declaration.

96c1d0581d Drivers: hv: vmbus: Add support for VMBus panic notifier handler
Hyper-V allows a guest to notify the Hyper-V host that a panic
condition occured.  This notification can include up to five 64
bit values.  These 64 bit values are written into crash MSRs.
Once the data has been written into the crash MSRs, the host is
then notified by writing into a Crash Control MSR.  On the Hyper-V
host, the panic notification data is captured in the Windows Event
log as a 18590 event.

Crash MSRs are defined in appendix H of the Hypervisor Top Level
Functional Specification.  At the time of this patch, v4.0 is the
current functional spec.  The URL for the v4.0 document is:

b05d8d9ef5 Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: eliminate the trylock path in acquire/release_region_mutex
When many memory regions are being added and automatically onlined the
following lockup is sometimes observed:

INFO: task udevd:1872 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
...
Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff816ec0bc>] schedule_timeout+0x22c/0x350
 [<ffffffff816eb98f>] wait_for_common+0x10f/0x160
 [<ffffffff81067650>] ? default_wake_function+0x0/0x20

 [<ffffffff8144cb9c>] hv_memory_notifier+0xdc/0x120
 [<ffffffff816f298c>] notifier_call_chain+0x4c/0x70
...

When several memory blocks are going online simultaneously we got several
hv_memory_notifier() trying to acquire the ha_region_mutex. When this mutex is
being held by hot_add_req() all these competing acquire_region_mutex() do
mutex_trylock, fail, and queue themselves into wait_for_completion(..). However
when we do complete() from release_region_mutex() only one of them wakes up.
This could be solved by changing complete() -> complete_all() memory onlining
can be delayed as well, in that case we can still get several
hv_memory_notifier() runners at the same time trying to grab the mutex.
Only one of them will succeed and the others will hang for forever as
complete() is not being called. We don't see this issue often because we have
5sec onlining timeout in hv_mem_hot_add() and usually all udev events arrive
in this time frame.

Get rid of the trylock path, waiting on the mutex is supposed to provide the
required serialization.

Without this patch, the state is put to CHANNEL_OPENING_STATE, and when
the driver is loaded next time, vmbus_open() will fail immediately due to
newchannel->state != CHANNEL_OPEN_STATE.

89f9f6796d hv: vmbus_post_msg: retry the hypercall on some transient errors
I got HV_STATUS_INVALID_CONNECTION_ID on Hyper-V 2008 R2 when keeping running
"rmmod hv_netvsc; modprobe hv_netvsc; rmmod hv_utils; modprobe hv_utils"
in a Linux guest. Looks the host has some kind of throttling mechanism if
some kinds of hypercalls are sent too frequently.
Without the patch, the driver can occasionally fail to load.

Also let's retry HV_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY, though we didn't get it
before.

Removed 'case -ENOMEM', since the hypervisor doesn't return this.
