This makes it possible to pass down the host controller

KEYS: Fix garbage collector
Fix a number of problems with the new key garbage collector:
(1) A rogue semicolon in keyring_gc() was causing the initial count of dead
keys to be miscalculated.
(2) A missing return in keyring_gc() meant that under certain circumstances,
the keyring semaphore would be unlocked twice.
(3) The key serial tree iterator (key_garbage_collector()) part of the garbage
collector has been modified to:
(a) Complete each scan of the keyrings before setting the new timer.
(b) Only set the new timer for keys that have yet to expire. This means
that the new timer is now calculated correctly, and the gc doesn't
get into a loop continually scanning for keys that have expired, and
preventing other things from happening, like RCU cleaning up the old
keyring contents.
(c) Perform an extra scan if any keys were garbage collected in this one
as a key might become garbage during a scan, and (b) could mean we
don't set the timer again.
(4) Made key_schedule_gc() take the time at which to do a collection run,
rather than the time at which the key expires. This means the collection
of dead keys (key type unregistered) can happen immediately.

If we have an unpopulated ZONE_MOVABLE, we allow hibernation but run
into a BUG_ON() in memory_bm_test/set/clear_bit() because hibernation
code iterates through all zones, not only the populated zones, in
several places. For example, swsusp_free() does for_each_zone() and
then checks for pfn_valid(), which is true even if the zone is not
populated, resulting in a BUG_ON() later because the pfn cannot be
found in the memory bitmap.
Replacing all occurences of for_each_zone() in hibernation code with
for_each_populated_zone() would fix this issue.

PM/Hibernate: Do not try to allocate too much memory too hard (rev. 2)
We want to avoid attempting to free too much memory too hard during
hibernation, so estimate the minimum size of the image to use as the
lower limit for preallocating memory.
The approach here is based on the (experimental) observation that we
can't free more page frames than the sum of:
Namely, if this number is subtracted from the number of saveable
pages in the system, we get a good estimate of the minimum reasonable
size of a hibernation image.

PM/Hibernate: Do not release preallocated memory unnecessarily (rev. 2)
Since the hibernation code is now going to use allocations of memory
to make enough room for the image, it can also use the page frames
allocated at this stage as image page frames. The low-level
hibernation code needs to be rearranged for this purpose, but it
allows us to avoid freeing a great number of pages and allocating
these same pages once again later, so it generally is worth doing.
Rework swsusp_shrink_memory() so that it calls shrink_all_memory()
just once to make some room for the image and then allocates memory
to apply more pressure to the memory management subsystem, if
necessary.
Unfortunately, we don't seem to be able to drop shrink_all_memory()
entirely just yet, because that would lead to huge performance
regressions in some test cases.

udf: Perform preallocation only for regular files
So far we preallocated blocks also for directories but that brings a
problem, when to get rid of preallocated blocks we don't need. So far
we removed them in udf_clear_inode() which has a disadvantage that
1) blocks are unavailable long after writing to a directory finished
and thus one can get out of space unnecessarily early
2) releasing blocks from udf_clear_inode is problematic because VFS
does not expect us to redirty inode there and it also slows down
memory reclaim.
So preallocate blocks only for regular files where we can drop preallocation
in udf_release_file.
EDAC, AMD: carve out decoding of MCi_STATUS ErrorCode
This is the MCE error code from the MCi_STATUS banks, bits [15:0] which
describe what type of error was encountered: GART TLB, Memory or Bus
error. The semantics of those bits are identical across all MCE banks so
decode those separately, irrespectively of MCE type.
The MCi_STATUS registers have most field definitions in common so decode
them in the general path. Do not pass ecc_type along and compute it in
__amd64_decode_bus_error instead.

EDAC: move MCE error descriptions to EDAC core
This is in preparation of adding AMD-specific MCE decoding functionality

use them in the error type decoders directly which removes a bunch of
code and makes the decoding functions much more readable. Also, fix
strings and shorten macro names.
fsync: wait for data writeout completion before calling ->fsync
Currenly vfs_fsync(_range) first calls filemap_fdatawrite to write out
the data, the calls into ->fsync to write out the metadata and then finally
calls filemap_fdatawait to wait for the data I/O to complete. What sounds
like a clever micro-optimization actually is nast trap for many filesystems.
For many modern filesystems i_size or other inode information is only
updated on I/O completion and we need to wait for I/O to finish before
we can write out the metadata. For old fashionen filesystems that
instanciate blocks during the actual write and also update the metadata
at that point it opens up a large window were we could expose uninitialized
blocks after a crash. While a few filesystems that need it already wait
for the I/O to finish inside their ->fsync methods it is rather suboptimal
as it is done under the i_mutex and also always for the whole file instead
of just a part as we could do for O_SYNC handling.
Here is a small audit of all fsync instances in the tree:
never touch pagecache themselves. We need to wait before if we do
not want to expose stale data after an allocation.
- afs_fsync:
- fuse_fsync_common:
do the waiting writeback itself in awkward ways, would benefit from
proper semantics
- block_fsync:
Does a filemap_write_and_wait on the block device inode. Because we
now have f_mapping that is the same inode we call it on in vfs_fsync.
So just removing it and letting the VFS do the work in one go would
be an improvement.
would need the wait to work correctly for delalloc mode with late
i_size updates. Otherwise the ext3 comment applies.
currently implemens it's own writeback and wait in an odd way,
could benefit from doing it properly.
- gfs2_fsync:
not needed for journaled data mode, but probably harmless there.
Currently writes back data asynchronously itself. Needs some
major audit.
- hostfs_fsync:
just calls fsync/datasync on the host FD. Without the wait before
data might not even be inflight yet if we're unlucky.
- hpfs_file_fsync:
- ncp_fsync:
no-ops. Dangerous before and after.
- jffs2_fsync:
just calls jffs2_flush_wbuf_gc, not sure how this relates to data.
- nfs_fsync_dir:
just increments stats, claims all directory operations are synchronous
- nfs_file_fsync:
only writes out data??? Looks very odd.
- nilfs_sync_file:
looks like it expects all data done, but not sure from the code
- ntfs_dir_fsync:
- ntfs_file_fsync:
appear to do their own data writeback. Very convoluted code.
- ocfs2_sync_file:
does it's own data writeback, but no wait. probably needs the wait.
- smb_fsync:
according to a comment expects all pages written already, probably needs
the wait before.
This patch only changes vfs_fsync_range, removal of the wait in the methods
that have it is left to the filesystem maintainers. Note that most
filesystems really do need an audit for their fsync methods given the
gems found in this very brief audit.
