This bug only showed up when non-standard mount options

the file system was not cleanly unmounted, but the root cause was the
inode bitmap modifications was not being properly journaled.
This could potentially lead to minor file system corruptions (pass 5

The ath9k xmit functions for AMPDUs can send frames as non-aggregate in case
only one frame is currently available. The client will then answer using a
normal Ack instead of a BlockAck. This acknowledgement has no TID stored and
therefore the hardware is not able to provide us the corresponding TID.
The TID set by the hardware in the tx status descriptor has to be seen as
undefined and not as a valid TID value for normal acknowledgements. Doing
otherwise results in a massive amount of retransmissions and stalls of

loop: Make explicit loop device destruction lazy
xfstests has always had random failures of tests due to loop devices
failing to be torn down and hence leaving filesytems that cannot be
unmounted. This causes test runs to immediately stop.
Over the past 6 or 7 years we've added hacks like explicit unmount
-d commands for loop mounts, losetup -d after unmount -d fails, etc,
but still the problems persist. Recently, the frequency of loop
related failures increased again to the point that xfstests 259 will
reliably fail with a stray loop device that was not torn down.
That is despite the fact the test is above as simple as it gets -
loop 5 or 6 times running mkfs.xfs with different paramters:
And losteup -d $lofile is failing with EBUSY on 1-3 of these loops
every time the test is run.
Turns out that blkid is running simultaneously with losetup -d, and
so it sees an elevated reference count and returns EBUSY. But why
is blkid running? It's obvious, isn't it? udev has decided to try
and find out what is on the block device as a result of a creation
notification. And it is racing with mkfs, so might still be scanning
the device when mkfs finishes and we try to tear it down.
So, make losetup -d force autoremove behaviour. That is, when the
last reference goes away, tear down the device. xfstests wants it
*gone*, not causing random teardown failures when we know that all
the operations the tests have specifically run on the device have
completed and are no longer referencing the loop device.

For the record, I think this was introduced by commit 56a34b03ff427
("ARM: versatile: Make plat-versatile clock optional") which forgot to
select PLAT_VERSATILE_CLOCK on Zynq. This is not all that surprising,
because the fact that Zynq "uses" PLAT_VERSATILE is secretly hidden in
the Makefile.
Nevertheless, the only feature from versatile that Zynq needed was the
clock support, so this patch should *also* delete the secret use of
plat-versatile by removing this line from arch/arm/Makefile:

ext4: fix unjournaled inode bitmap modification
commit 119c0d4460b001e44b41dcf73dc6ee794b98bd31 changed
ext4_new_inode() such that the inode bitmap was being modified
outside a transaction, which could lead to corruption, and was
discovered when journal_checksum found a bad checksum in the
journal during log replay.
Nix ran into this when using the journal_async_commit mount
option, which enables journal checksumming. The ensuing
journal replay failures due to the bad checksums led to
filesystem corruption reported as the now infamous
"Apparent serious progressive ext4 data corruption bug"
[ Changed by tytso to only call ext4_journal_get_write_access() only
when we're fairly certain that we're going to allocate the inode. ]
I've tested this by mounting with journal_checksum and
running fsstress then dropping power; I've also tested by
hacking DM to create snapshots w/o first quiescing, which
allows me to test journal replay repeatedly w/o actually
power-cycling the box. Without the patch I hit a journal
checksum error every time. With this fix it survives
many iterations.

Lock splice_read and splice_write functions
Functions generic_file_splice_read and generic_file_splice_write access
the pagecache directly. For block devices these functions must be locked
so that block size is not changed while they are in progress.
This patch is an additional fix for commit b87570f5d349 ("Fix a crash
when block device is read and block size is changed at the same time")
that locked aio_read, aio_write and mmap against block size change.

percpu-rw-semaphores: use rcu_read_lock_sched
Use rcu_read_lock_sched / rcu_read_unlock_sched / synchronize_sched
instead of rcu_read_lock / rcu_read_unlock / synchronize_rcu.
This is an optimization. The RCU-protected region is very small, so
there will be no latency problems if we disable preempt in this region.
So we use rcu_read_lock_sched / rcu_read_unlock_sched that translates
to preempt_disable / preempt_disable. It is smaller (and supposedly
faster) than preemptible rcu_read_lock / rcu_read_unlock.

percpu-rw-semaphores: use light/heavy barriers
This patch introduces new barrier pair light_mb() and heavy_mb() for
percpu rw semaphores.
This patch fixes a bug in percpu-rw-semaphores where a barrier was
missing in percpu_up_write.
This patch improves performance on the read path of
percpu-rw-semaphores: on non-x86 cpus, there was a smp_mb() in
percpu_up_read. This patch changes it to a compiler barrier and removes
the "#if defined(X86) ..." condition.
