Currently there is no barrier support in the block device code. That
means we cannot guarantee any sort of data integerity when using the
block device node with dis kwrite caches enabled. Using the raw block
device node is a typical use case for virtualization (and I assume
databases, too). This patch changes block_fsync to issue a cache flush
and thus make fsync on block device nodes actually useful.
Note that in mainline we would also need to add such code to the
->aio_write method for O_SYNC handling, but assuming that Jan's patch
series for the O_SYNC rewrite goes in it will also call into ->fsync
for 2.6.32.

aio: implement request batching
Hi,
Some workloads issue batches of small I/O, and the performance is poor
due to the call to blk_run_address_space for every single iocb. Nathan

until all I/Os in the iocb array are submitted to the block layer, we

tty: Avoid dropping ldisc_mutex over hangup tty re-initialization
A couple of people have hit the WARN_ON() in drivers/char/tty_io.c,
tty_open() that is unhappy about seeing the tty line discipline go away
during the tty hangup. See for example
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14255
and the reason is that we do the tty_ldisc_halt() outside the
ldisc_mutex in order to be able to flush the scheduled work without a
deadlock with vhangup_work.
However, it turns out that we can solve this particular case by
- using "cancel_delayed_work_sync()" in tty_ldisc_halt(), which waits
for just the particular work, rather than synchronizing with any
random outstanding pending work.
This won't deadlock, since the buf.work we synchronize with doesn't
care about the ldisc_mutex, it just flushes the tty ldisc buffers.
- realize that for this particular case, we don't need to wait for any
hangup work, because we are inside the hangup codepaths ourselves.
so as a result we can just drop the flush_scheduled_work() entirely, and
then move the tty_ldisc_halt() call to inside the mutex. That way we
never expose the partially torn down ldisc state to tty_open(), and hold
the ldisc_mutex over the whole sequence.

This patch reworks the expression to correctly check the address,
while maintaining use of a valid address to __pa().

ARM: 5739/1: ARM: allow empty ATAG_CORE
From: David Brown <davidb@quicinc.com>
The ATAG_CORE is allowed to be empty. Although this is handled
by parse_tag_core(), __vet_atags during startup rejects this tag
unless it contains data. Allow the initial tag to be either the
full size, or empty.

cfq-iosched: add a knob for desktop interactiveness
This is basically identical to what Vivek Goyal posted, but combined
into one and labelled 'desktop' instead of 'fairness'. The goal
is to continue to improve on the latency side of things as it relates
to interactiveness, keeping the questionable bits under this sysfs
tunable so it would be easy for throughput-only people to turn off.
Apart from adding the interactive sysfs knob, it also adds the
behavioural change of allowing slice idling even if the hardware
does tagged command queuing.

cnic: Fix NETDEV_UP event processing.
This fixes the problem of not handling the NETDEV_UP event properly
during hot-plug or modprobe of bnx2 after cnic. The handling was
skipped by mistakenly using "else if" to check for the event.
Also update version to 2.0.1.
