This patch includes fixes for two issues releated to firmware download
implementation: 1) Merged memory leak fix provided by Jesper Juhl
<jj@chaosbits.net>. Basically we need to call release_firmware() after
request_firmware(). 2) fixed issues with the firmware download interface
as pointed out by Rolf Eike Beer <eike@sf-mail.de> in linux-scsi. Rearranged
the code and fixed related function protypes.

[SCSI] ipr: improve interrupt service routine performance
During performance testing on P7 machines it was observed that the interrupt
service routine was doing unnecessary MMIO operations.
This patch rearranges the logic of the routine and moves some of the code out
of the main routine. The result is that there are now fewer MMIO operations in
the performance path of the code.
As a result of the above change, an existing condition was exposed where the
driver could get an "unexpected" hrrq interrupt. The original code would flag
the interrupt as unexpected and then reset the adapter. After further analysis
it was confirmed that this condition can occasionally occur and that the
interrupt can safely be ignored. Additional code in this patch detects this
condition, clears the interrupt and allows the driver to continue without
resetting the adapter.

[SCSI] mpt2sas : WarpDrive New product SSS6200 support added
This patch has Support for the new solid state device product SSS6200
from LSI and relavent features w.r.t SSS6200.
The major feature added in this driver is supporting Direct-I/O to the
SSS6200 storage.There are some additional changes done to avoid exposing
the RAID member disks to the OS and hiding/exposing drives based on the
OEM Specific Flag in Manufacturing Page10 (this is required to handle
specific changes in the SSS6200 firmware).
Each and every changes are listed below.
1. Hiding IR related messages.
For SSS6200, the driver is modified not to print IR related events.
Even if the debugging is enabled the IR related messages will not be displayed.
In some places if there is a need to display a message related to IR the
string "IR" is replaced with string "DD" and the string "volume" is replaced
with "direct drive". But the function names are not changed hence there are
some places where the reference to volume can be seen if debug level is set.
2. Removed RAID transport support
In Linux the user can retrieve RAID volume information from the sysfs directory.
This support is removed for SSS6200.
3. Direct I/O support.
The driver tries to enable direct I/O when a volume is reported to the driver
by the firmware through IRCC events and the driver does this just before
reporting to the OS, hence all the OS issued I/O can go through direct path
if they can, The first validation is to see whether the manufacturing page10
flag is set to expose all drives always. If that is set, the driver will not
enable direct I/O and displays the message "DDIO" is disabled globally as
drives are exposed. The driver checks whether there is more than one volume
in the controller, if so the direct I/O will be disabled globally for all
volumes in the controller and the message displayed will be "DDIO is disabled
globally as number of drives > 1.
If retrieving number of PD is failed the driver will not enable direct I/O
and displays the message Failure in computing number of drives DDIO disabled.
If memory allocation for RAIDVolumePage0 is failed, the driver will not enable
direct I/O and displays the message Memory allocation failure for
RVPG0 DDIO disabled. If retrieving RAIDVolumePage0 is failed the driver will
not enable direct I/O and displays the message Failure in retrieving
RVPG0 DDIO disabled
If the number of PD in a volume is greater than 8, then the direct I/O will
be disabled.
If any of individual drives handle retrieval is failed then the DD-IO will
be disabled.
If the volume is not RAID0 or if the block size is not 512 then the DD-IO will
be disabled.
If the volume size is greater than 2TB then the DD-IO will be disabled.
If the driver is not able to find a valid stripe exponent using the configured
stripe size then the DD-IO will be disabled
When the DD-IO is enabled the driver will check every I/O request issued to
the storage and checks whether the request is either
READ6/WRITE6/READ10/WRITE10, if it is and if the complete I/O transfer
is within a stripe size then the I/O is redirected to
the drive directly instead of the volume.
On completion of every I/O, if the completion is failure means if the reply
is address reply with a reply frame associated with it, then the type of I/O
will be checked, if the I/O is direct then the I/O will be retried to
the volume once.

This is an almost-revert of commit 93b43fa ("oom: give the dying task a
higher priority").
That commit dramatically improved oom killer logic when a fork-bomb
occurs. But I've found that it has nasty corner case. Now cpu cgroup has
strange default RT runtime. It's 0! That said, if a process under cpu
cgroup promote RT scheduling class, the process never run at all.
If an admin inserts a !RT process into a cpu cgroup by setting
rtruntime=0, usually it runs perfectly because a !RT task isn't affected
by the rtruntime knob. But if it promotes an RT task via an explicit
setscheduler() syscall or an OOM, the task can't run at all. In short,
the oom killer doesn't work at all if admins are using cpu cgroup and don't
touch the rtruntime knob.
Eventually, kernel may hang up when oom kill occur. I and the original
author Luis agreed to disable this logic.

Two years later, I've found obvious meaningless code fragment and
restored original intention by following commit.
2010 Jun 04; commit bb21c7ce; vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages()
return value when priority==0
But, the logic didn't works when 32bit highmem system goes hibernation
and Minchan slightly changed the algorithm and fixed it .
2010 Sep 22: commit d1908362: vmscan: check all_unreclaimable
in direct reclaim path
But, recently, Andrey Vagin found the new corner case. Look,
struct zone {
..
int all_unreclaimable;
..
unsigned long pages_scanned;
..
}
zone->all_unreclaimable and zone->pages_scanned are neigher atomic
variables nor protected by lock. Therefore zones can become a state of
zone->page_scanned=0 and zone->all_unreclaimable=1. In this case, current
all_unreclaimable() return false even though zone->all_unreclaimabe=1.
This resulted in the kernel hanging up when executing a loop of the form
as described in
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1348725#1348725
Is this ignorable minor issue? No. Unfortunately, x86 has very small dma
zone and it become zone->all_unreclamble=1 easily. and if it become
all_unreclaimable=1, it never restore all_unreclaimable=0. Why? if
all_unreclaimable=1, vmscan only try DEF_PRIORITY reclaim and
a-few-lru-pages>>DEF_PRIORITY always makes 0. that mean no page scan at
all!
Eventually, oom-killer never works on such systems. That said, we can't
use zone->pages_scanned for this purpose. This patch restore
all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as old. and in addition,
to add oom_killer_disabled check to avoid reintroduce the issue of commit d1908362 ("vmscan: check all_unreclaimable in direct reclaim path").

mm: check that we have the right vma in __access_remote_vm()
In __access_remote_vm() we need to check that we have found the right
vma, not the following vma before we try to access it. Otherwise we
might call the vma's access routine with an address which does not fall
inside the vma.
It was discovered on a current kernel but with an unreleased driver,
from memory it was strace leading to a kernel bad access, but it
obviously depends on what the access implementation does.
Looking at other access implementations I only see:
The spufs one looks like it might behave badly given the wrong vma, it
assumes vma->vm_file->private_data is a spu_context, and looks like it
would probably blow up pretty quickly if it wasn't.
generic_access_phys() only uses the vma to check vm_flags and get the
mm, and then walks page tables using the address. So it should bail on
the vm_flags check, or at worst let you access some other VM_IO mapping.
And bin_access() just proxies to another access implementation.

5520e89 ("brk: fix min_brk lower bound computation for COMPAT_BRK")
tried to get the whole logic of brk randomization for legacy
(libc5-based) applications finally right.
It turns out that the way to detect whether brk has actually been
randomized in the end or not introduced by that patch still doesn't work
for those binaries, as reported by Geert:
: /sbin/init from my old m68k ramdisk exists prematurely.
:
: Before the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80006000
:
: After the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80005c8e
:
: Old libc5 considers brk() to have failed if the return value is not
: identical to the requested value.
I don't like it, but currently see no better option than a bit flag in
task_struct to catch the CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK && randomize_va_space == 2
case.
I found it difficult to make sense of transparent huge pages without
having any counters for its actions. Add some counters to vmstat for
allocation of transparent hugepages and fallback to smaller pages.
Optional patch, but useful for development and understanding the system.

The memory hotplug case involves calling to build_all_zonelists() which
in turns calls in to setup_zone_pageset(). The latter is marked
__meminit while build_all_zonelists() itself has no particular
annotation. build_all_zonelists() is only handed a non-NULL pointer in
the case of memory hotplug through an existing __meminit path, so the
setup_zone_pageset() reference is always safe.
The options as such are either to flag build_all_zonelists() as __ref (as
per __build_all_zonelists()), or to simply discard the __meminit
annotation from setup_zone_pageset().

We really only want to unplug the pending IO when the process actually

where we actually deactivate the task - where we have properly checked
for preemption and for the process really sleeping.
Commit 982134ba6261 ("mm: avoid wrapping vm_pgoff in mremap()") fixed
the case of a expanding mapping causing vm_pgoff wrapping when you used
mremap. But there was another case where we expand mappings hiding in

avr32: init cannot ignore signals sent by force_sig_info()
We can delete the code that checks to see if we're sending an ignored
signal to init because force_sig_info() already handles this case.
force_sig_info() will kill init even if the signal handler is SIG_DFL
and the scenario described in the comment where init might "generate
the same exception over and over again" cannot occur (force_sig_info()
clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE to ensure that init will die).
Also, the use of is_global_init() is not correct in the multhreaded
case, as Oleg Nesterov explains,
"is_global_init() is not right in theory, /sbin/init can be
multithreaded. And, this doesn't cover the sub-namespace
inits... I'd suggest to check SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, but looking
closer I think you can simply remove this code."
It seems this code was copied from arch/powerpc in March 2007 in commit
623b0355d5b1 "[AVR32] Clean up exception handling code"
but the code was deleted from arch/powerpc in November 2009 in commit
a0592d42fe3e "powerpc: kill the obsolete code under is_global_init()"
