IB/ehca: Fix sync between completion handler and destroy cq
This patch fixes two issues reported by Roland Dreier and Christoph Hellwig:
- Mismatched sync/locking between completion handler and destroy cq We
introduced a counter nr_events per cq to track number of irq events
seen. This counter is incremented when an event queue entry is seen
and decremented after completion handler has been called regardless
if scaling code is active or not. Note that nr_callbacks tracks
number of events assigned to a cpu and both counters can potentially
diverge.
The sync between running completion handler and destroy cq is done
by using the global spin lock ehca_cq_idr_lock.
- Replace yield by wait_event on the counter above to become zero.

1. PR-SCTP is used and the timeout on the chunks is set below RTO.Max.
2. One of the paths on a multihomed associations is brought down.
In this scenario, data will expire within the rto of the initial
transmission and will never be retransmitted. However this data still
fills the send buffer and is counted against the association as outstanding
data. This causes any new data not to be sent and retransmission to not
happen.
The fix is to discount the abandoned data from the outstanding count and
peers rwnd estimation. This allows new data to be sent and a retransmission
timer restarted. Even though this new data will most likely expire within
the rto, the timer still counts as a strike against the transport and forces
the FORWARD-TSN chunk to be retransmitted as well.

move_native_irqs tries to do the right thing when migrating irqs
by disabling them. However disabling them is a software logical
thing, not a hardware thing. This has always been a little flaky
and after Ingo's latest round of changes it is guaranteed to not
mask the apic.
So this patch fixes move_native_irq to directly call the mask and
unmask chip methods to guarantee that we mask the irq when we
are migrating it. We must do this as it is required by
all code that call into the path.
Since we don't know the masked status when IRQ_DISABLED is
set so we will not be able to restore it. The patch makes the code
just give up and trying again the next time this routing is called.

[PATCH] x86_64 irq: Safely cleanup an irq after moving it.
The problem: After moving an interrupt when is it safe to teardown
the data structures for receiving the interrupt at the old location?
With a normal pci device it is possible to issue a read to a device
to flush all posted writes. This does not work for the oldest ioapics
because they are on a 3-wire apic bus which is a completely different
data path. For some more modern ioapics when everything is using
front side bus delivery you can flush interrupts by simply issuing a
read to the ioapic. For other modern ioapics emperical testing has
shown that this does not work.
So it appears the only reliable way to know the last of the irqs from an
ioapic have been received from before the ioapic was reprogrammed is to
received the first irq from the ioapic from after it was reprogrammed.
Once we know the last irq message has been received from an ioapic
into a local apic we then need to know that irq message has been
processed through the local apics.

gadgetfs: Fixed bug in ep_aio_read_retry.
I don't think the current code works with multiple iovecs.
The original would just copy the first part of priv->buf
over and over into multiple iovecs.

USB: add rationale on why usb descriptor structures have to be packed
Add argumentation in defense of using __attribute__((packed)) in USB
descriptors authored by Dave Brownell. Necessary as in some cases it
seems superfluous.
This patch (as856) attempts to improve the performance of uhci-hcd by
removing the asynchronous skeleton Queue Headers. They don't contain
any useful information but the controller has to read through them at
least once every millisecond, incurring a non-zero DMA overhead.
Now all the asynchronous queues are combined, along with the period-1
interrupt queue, into a single list with a single skeleton QH. The
start of the low-speed control, full-speed control, and bulk sublists
is determined by linear search. Since there should rarely be more
than a couple of QHs in the list, the searches should incur a much
smaller total load than keeping the skeleton QHs.
