274bd4fb3e Btrfs: try cluster but don't advance in search list
When we find an existing cluster, we switch to its block group as the
current block group, possibly skipping multiple blocks in the process.
Furthermore, under heavy contention, multiple threads may fail to
allocate from a cluster and then release just-created clusters just to
proceed to create new ones in a different block group.

This patch tries to allocate from an existing cluster regardless of its
block group, and doesn't switch to that group, instead proceeding to
try to allocate a cluster from the group it was iterating before the
attempt.

The PB1200 has the CPLD located at an address which on the DB1200 is

On the other hand, the address of the DB1200's CPLD is hosting Flash
chips on the PB1200.  Test for the DB1200 first and additionally do a
quick write-test to the hexleds register to make sure we're writing

generic one used instead. The pmd clean-up is done in the pgd_free()

This patch modifies the pgd/pmd/pte manipulation functions to support

trying to free them at run-time. This flag is 0 with the classic page
table format.

f910fb8fcd video i.MX IPU: Fix display connections
The IPU internally works on 32bit colors. It can arbitrarily map
between pixel formats and internal representation and also between
internal representation and the physical connection to the display.
The driver used to change the mapping between internal representation
and display connection depending on the user selected bpp which is
wrong. Instead, the mapping is specified by the hardware, so an
additional field in platform data is added to describe the connection
between i.MX and the display. The default for this field is RGB666
which seems to be the only configuration which works without this
patch, so I assumed that all in Kernel boards are connected this
way.
This patch has been tested on a RGB666 connected display and a
RGB888 connected display in both 16bpp and 32bpp modes.

The burstsize (npb in struct chan_param_mem) is set in
ipu_ch_param_set_size() once. The number of allowed
pixels in a burst depend on the pixel format and the

whereas for 32bit formats only 8 pixels are allowed.
Set these values correctly in ipu_ch_param_set_size()
and do not overwrite them afterwards.
We do not support rotation right now, so ignore this
case.
This patch fixes the wrong burstsize setting of 16 pixels
for 32bpp.

entry-macro.S contains some stale code for chips before Tegra20 that
apparently didn't use an ARM GIC. All chips supported by mainline use
an ARM GIC, so rip out the stale code.

9283d8c5af md/raid5: never wait for bad-block acks on failed device.
Once a device is failed we really want to completely ignore it.
It should go away soon anyway.

In particular the presence of bad blocks on it should not cause us to
block as we won't be trying to write there anyway.

So as soon as we can check if a device is Faulty, do so and pretend
that it is already gone if it is Faulty.

8bd2f0a05b md: ensure new badblocks are handled promptly.
When we mark blocks as bad we need them to be acknowledged by the
metadata handler promptly.

For an in-kernel metadata handler that was already being done.  But
for an external metadata handler we need to alert it of the change by
sending a notification through the sysfs file.  This adds that
notification.

52c64152a9 md: bad blocks shouldn't cause a Blocked status on a Faulty device.
Once a device is marked Faulty the badblocks - whether acknowledged or
not - become irrelevant.  So they shouldn't cause the device to be
marked as Blocked.

Without this patch, a process might write "-blocked" to clear the
Blocked status, but while that will correctly fail the device, it
won't remove the apparent 'blocked' status.
