Some filesystem may choose to write much more than ratelimit_pages
before calling balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_nr(). So it is safer to
determine number to write based on real number of dirtied pages.

Otherwise it is possible that
  loop {
    btrfs_file_write():     dirty 1024 pages
    balance_dirty_pages():  write up to 48 pages (= ratelimit_pages * 1.5)
  }
in which the writeback rate cannot keep up with dirty rate, and the
dirty pages go all the way beyond dirty_thresh.

The increased write_chunk may make the dirtier more bumpy.
So filesystems shall be take care not to dirty too much at
a time (eg. > 4MB) without checking the ratelimit.

fs: Fix busyloop in wb_writeback()

If all inodes are under writeback (e.g. in case when there's only one inode
with dirty pages), wb_writeback() with WB_SYNC_NONE work basically degrades
to busylooping until I_SYNC flags of the inode is cleared. Fix the problem by
waiting on I_SYNC flags of an inode on b_more_io list in case we failed to

This is because the driver manages interrupts without checking for
netif_running().

Though, there are few other issues with suspend/resume in this driver.
The intention of calling free_irq() in suspend() was to avoid any
possible spurious interrupts (see commit 5b039e681b8c5f30aac9cc04385
"3c59x PM fixes"). But,

- On resume, the driver was requesting IRQ just after pci_set_master(),
  but before vortex_up() (which actually resets 3c59x chips).

- Issuing free_irq() on a shared IRQ doesn't guarantee that a buggy
  HW won't trigger spurious interrupts in another driver that
  requested the same interrupt. So, if we want to protect from
  unexpected interrupts, then on suspend we should issue disable_irq(),
  not free_irq().

IPoIB: Don't turn on carrier for a non-active port

Multicast joins can succeed even if the IB port is down.  This happens
when the SM runs on the same port with the requesting port.  However,
IPoIB calls netif_carrier_on() when the join of the broadcast group
succeeds, without caring about the state of the IB port.  The result
is an IPoIB interface in RUNNING state but without an active IB port
to support it.

If a bonding interface uses this IPoIB interface as a slave it might
not detect that this slave is almost useless and failover
functionality will be damaged.  The fix checks the state of the IB
port in the carrier_task before calling netif_carrier_on().

param: allow whitespace as kernel parameter separator

Some boot mechanisms require that kernel parameters are stored in a
separate file which is loaded to memory without further processing
(e.g. the "Load from FTP" method on s390). When such a file contains
newline characters, the kernel parameter preceding the newline might
not be correctly parsed (due to the newline being stuck to the end of
the actual parameter value) which can lead to boot failures.

This patch improves kernel command line usability in such a situation
by allowing generic whitespace characters as separators between kernel
parameters.
