commit 672917dcc78 ("cpuidle: menu governor: reduce latency on exit")
added an optimization, where the analysis on the past idle period moved
from the end of idle, to the beginning of the new idle.
Unfortunately, this optimization had a bug where it zeroed one key
variable for new use, that is needed for the analysis. The fix is
simple, zero the variable after doing the work from the previous idle.
During the audit of the code that found this issue, another issue was
also found; the ->measured_us data structure member is never set, a
local variable is always used instead.

md: restore ability of spare drives to spin down.
Some time ago we stopped the clean/active metadata updates
from being written to a 'spare' device in most cases so that
it could spin down and say spun down. Device failure/removal
etc are still recorded on spares.
However commit 51d5668cb2e3fd1827a55 broke this 50% of the time,
depending on whether the event count is even or odd.
The change log entry said:
This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain,
how ever the code makes no attempt to create that alignment, so it
could take arbitrarily long.
So when we find that clean/dirty is not aligned with odd/even,
force a second metadata-update immediately. There are already cases
where a second metadata-update is needed immediately (e.g. when a
device fails during the metadata update). We just piggy-back on that.

The real problem is that the saa7146 framework has separate probe()

is now done for the mxb driver, but others should do the same. Lack

1. Remove CACHE_ALL_LOOP2 macro because it is identical to CACHE_ALL_LOOP
2. Change BUG_ON to WARN_ON
3. Remove end aligned from CACHE_LOOP_LIMITS.
C implementation do not need aligned end address and ASM code do aligned
in their macros
4. ASM optimized CACHE_RANGE_LOOP_1/2 macros needs to get aligned end address.
Because end address is compound from start + size, end address is the first address
which is exclude.
Here is the corresponding code which describe it.
+ int align = ~(line_length - 1);
+ end = ((end & align) == end) ? end - line_length : end & align;
a) end is aligned:
it is necessary to subtruct line length because we don't want to work with
next cacheline
b) end address is not aligned:
Just align it to be ready for ASM code.

On platforms doing non-coherent DMA (4xx, 8xx, ...), it's important
that the kmalloc minimum alignment is set to the cache line size, to
avoid sharing cache lines between different objects, so that DMA to

handle any returned errors, however trivial. This leads to a huge
problem, because the block layer doesn't expect this to happen and any
trivially retryable error on a barrier causes an immediate I/O error
to the filesystem.
The only real way to hack around this is to take the usual class of
offending errors (unit attentions) and make them all retryable in the
case of a REQ_HARDBARRIER. A correct fix would involve a rework of
the entire block and SCSI submit system, and so is out of scope for a
quick fix.

[SCSI] Enable retries for SYNCRONIZE_CACHE commands to fix I/O error
Some arrays are giving I/O errors with ext3 filesystems when
SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE gets a UNIT_ATTENTION. What is happening is that
these commands have no retries, so the UNIT_ATTENTION causes the
barrier to fail. We should be enable retries here to clear any
transient error and allow the barrier to succeed.

raid6: fix recovery performance regression
The raid6 recovery code should immediately drop back to the optimized
synchronous path when a p+q dma resource is not available. Otherwise we
run the non-optimized/multi-pass async code in sync mode.
Verified with raid6test (NDISKS=255)
Applies to kernels >= 2.6.32.
