aio: make aio_read_evt() more efficient, convert to hrtimers
Previously, aio_read_event() pulled a single completion off the ringbuffer
at a time, locking and unlocking each time. Change it to pull off as many
events as it can at a time, and copy them directly to userspace.
This also fixes a bug where if copying the event to userspace failed,
we'd lose the event.
Also convert it to wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout(), which
simplifies it quite a bit.

wait: add wait_event_hrtimeout()
Analagous to wait_event_timeout() and friends, this adds
wait_event_hrtimeout() and wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout().
Note that unlike the versions that use regular timers, these don't return
the amount of time remaining when they return - instead, they return 0 or
-ETIME if they timed out. because I was uncomfortable with the semantics
of doing it the other way (that I could get it right, anyways).
If the timer expires, there's no real guarantee that expire_time -
current_time would be <= 0 - due to timer slack certainly, and I'm not
sure I want to know the implications of the different clock bases in
hrtimers.
If the timer does expire and the code calculates that the time remaining
is nonnegative, that could be even worse if the calling code then reuses
that timeout. Probably safer to just return 0 then, but I could imagine
weird bugs or at least unintended behaviour arising from that too.
I came to the conclusion that if other users end up actually needing the
amount of time remaining, the sanest thing to do would be to create a
version that uses absolute timeouts instead of relative.

aio: refcounting cleanup
The usage of ctx->dead was fubar - it makes no sense to explicitly check
it all over the place, especially when we're already using RCU.
Now, ctx->dead only indicates whether we've dropped the initial
refcount. The new teardown sequence is:
set ctx->dead
hlist_del_rcu();
synchronize_rcu();
Now we know no system calls can take a new ref, and it's safe to drop
the initial ref:
put_ioctx();
We also need to ensure there are no more outstanding kiocbs. This was
done incorrectly - it was being done in kill_ctx(), and before dropping
the initial refcount. At this point, other syscalls may still be
submitting kiocbs!
Now, we cancel and wait for outstanding kiocbs in free_ioctx(), after
kioctx->users has dropped to 0 and we know no more iocbs could be
submitted.

aio: make aio_put_req() lockless
Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things:
* Pull it off the reqs_active list
* Decrementing reqs_active
* Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed.
This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons:
* aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the
kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to
do it twice.
* aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense
for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too.
* A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped
completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look
at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of
kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch.
This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that
implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have
to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled
kiocbs.
It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never
submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the
reqs_active list. This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which
is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one.

There are two problems with shutdown in the NBD driver.
1: Receiving the NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl does not sync the filesystem.
This patch adds the sync operation into __nbd_ioctl()'s
NBD_DISCONNECT handler. This is useful because BLKFLSBUF is restricted
to processes that have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and the NBD client may not
possess it (fsync of the block device does not sync the filesystem,
either).
2: Once we clear the socket we have no guarantee that later reads will
come from the same backing storage.
The patch adds calls to kill_bdev() in __nbd_ioctl()'s socket
clearing code so the page cache is cleaned, lest reads that hit on the
page cache will return stale data from the previously-accessible disk.
Example:
# qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sr0
# file -s /dev/nbd0
/dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc.
# qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
# qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sda
# file -s /dev/nbd0

nbd: support FLUSH requests
Currently, the NBD device does not accept flush requests from the Linux
block layer. If the NBD server opened the target with neither O_SYNC nor
O_DSYNC, however, the device will be effectively backed by a writeback
cache. Without issuing flushes properly, operation of the NBD device will
not be safe against power losses.
The NBD protocol has support for both a cache flush command and a FUA
command flag; the server will also pass a flag to note its support for
these features. This patch adds support for the cache flush command and
flag. In the kernel, we receive the flags via the NBD_SET_FLAGS ioctl,
and map NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH to the argument of blk_queue_flush. When the
flag is active the block layer will send REQ_FLUSH requests, which we
translate to NBD_CMD_FLUSH commands.
FUA support is not included in this patch because all free software
servers implement it with a full fdatasync; thus it has no advantage over
supporting flush only. Because I [Paolo] cannot really benchmark it in a
realistic scenario, I cannot tell if it is a good idea or not. It is also
not clear if it is valid for an NBD server to support FUA but not flush.
The Linux block layer gives a warning for this combination, the NBD
protocol documentation says nothing about it.
The patch also fixes a small problem in the handling of flags: nbd->flags
must be cleared at the end of NBD_DO_IT, but the driver was not doing
that. The bug manifests itself as follows. Suppose you two different
client/server pairs to start the NBD device. Suppose also that the first
client supports NBD_SET_FLAGS, and the first server sends
NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH; the second pair instead does neither of these two
things. Before this patch, the second invocation of NBD_DO_IT will use a
stale value of nbd->flags, and the second server will issue an error every
time it receives an NBD_CMD_FLUSH command.
This bug is pre-existing, but it becomes much more important after this
patch; flush failures make the device pretty much unusable, unlike

block/partitions/efi.c: ensure that the GPT header is at least the size of the structure.
UEFI 2.3.1D will include a change to the spec language mandating that a
GPT header must be greater than *or equal to* the size of the defined
structure. While verifying that this would work on Linux, I discovered
that we're not actually checking the minimum bound at all.
The result of this is that when we verify the checksum, it's possible that
on a malformed header (with header_size of 0), we won't actually verify
any data.

block/partition/msdos: detect AIX formatted disks even without 55aa
AIX formatted disks do not always have the MSDOS 55aa signature.
This happens e.g. for unbootable AIX disks.
Up to now, such disks were not recognized as AIX disks, because of the
missing 55aa. Fix that by inverting the two tests. Let's first
check for the AIX magic strings, and only if that fails check for
the MSDOS magic word.

ipmi: add new kernel options to prevent automatic ipmi init
The configuration change building ipmi_si into the kernel precludes the
use of a custom driver that can utilize more than one KCS interface,
multiple IPMBs, and more than one BMC. This capability is important for
fault-tolerant systems.
Even if the kernel option ipmi_si.trydefaults=0 is specified, ipmi_si
discovers and claims one of the KCS interfaces on a Stratus server. The
inability to now prevent the kernel from managing this device is a
regression from previous kernels. The regression breaks a capability
fault-tolerant vendors have relied upon.
To support both ACPI opregion access and the need to avoid activation of
ipmi_si on some platforms, we've added two new kernel options,
ipmi_si.tryacpi and ipmi_si.trydmi be added to prevent ipmi_si from
initializing when these options are set to 0 on the kernel command line.
With these options at the default value of 1, ipmi_si init proceeds
according to the kernel default.

ipc/sem.c: alternatives to preempt_disable()
ipc/sem.c uses a custom wakeup scheme that relies on preempt_disable().
On -RT, this causes increased latencies and debug warnings.
The patch adds two additional schemes:
- one built around a completion - could be better for -RT kernels
- one built around a spinlock - unfortunately it's broken
- and the current one
My preferred solution would be the spinlock implementation: RT would use
premptible spinlocks, mainline normal spinlocks. Thus both get the
optimal implementation without any special code in ipc/sem.c.
Unfortunately, I don't see how it could be fixed.

idr: implement lookup hint
While idr lookup isn't a particularly heavy operation, it still is too
substantial to use in hot paths without worrying about the performance
implications. With recent changes, each idr_layer covers 256 slots
which should be enough to cover most use cases with single idr_layer
making lookup hint very attractive.
This patch adds idr->hint which points to the idr_layer which
allocated an ID most recently and the fast path lookup becomes
if (look up target's prefix matches that of the hinted layer)
return hint->ary[ID's offset in the leaf layer];
which can be inlined.
idr->hint is set to the leaf node on idr_fill_slot() and cleared from

With recent preloading changes, idr no longer keeps full layer cache per
each idr instance (used to be ~6.5k per idr on 64bit) and the previous

larger layers.
Increase IDR_BITS to 8 regardless of BITS_PER_LONG. Each layer is
slightly larger than 2k on 64bit and 1k on 32bit and carries 256 entries.
The size isn't too large, especially compared to what we used to waste on
per-idr caches, and 256 entries should be able to serve most use cases
with single layer. The max tree depth is 4 which is much better than the

idr: remove MAX_IDR_MASK and move left MAX_IDR_* into idr.c
MAX_IDR_MASK is another weirdness in the idr interface. As idr covers
whole positive integer range, it's defined as 0x7fffffff or INT_MAX.
Its usage in idr_find(), idr_replace() and idr_remove() is bizarre.
They basically mask off the sign bit and operate on the rest, so if
the caller, by accident, passes in a negative number, the sign bit
will be masked off and the remaining part will be used as if that was
the input, which is worse than crashing.
The constant is visible in idr.h and there are several users in the
kernel.
Basically used to test if adap->nr is a negative number which isn't
-1 and returns -EINVAL if so. idr_alloc() already has negative
@start checking (w/ WARN_ON_ONCE), so this can go away.
Used to wrap cyclic @start. Can be replaced with max(next, 0).
Note that this type of cyclic allocation using idr is buggy. These
are prone to spurious -ENOSPC failure after the first wraparound.
* fs/super.c:get_anon_bdev()
The ID allocated from ida is masked off before being tested whether
it's inside valid range. ida allocated ID can never be a negative
number and the masking is unnecessary.
Update idr_*() functions to fail with -EINVAL when negative @id is
specified and update other MAX_IDR_MASK users as described above.
This leaves MAX_IDR_MASK without any user, remove it and relocate
other MAX_IDR_* constants to lib/idr.c.

idr: fix top layer handling
Most functions in idr fail to deal with the high bits when the idr
tree grows to the maximum height.
* idr_get_empty_slot() stops growing idr tree once the depth reaches
MAX_IDR_LEVEL - 1, which is one depth shallower than necessary to
cover the whole range. The function doesn't even notice that it
didn't grow the tree enough and ends up allocating the wrong ID
given sufficiently high @starting_id.
For example, on 64 bit, if the starting id is 0x7fffff01,
idr_get_empty_slot() will grow the tree 5 layer deep, which only
covers the 30 bits and then proceed to allocate as if the bit 30
wasn't specified. It ends up allocating 0x3fffff01 without the bit
30 but still returns 0x7fffff01.
* __idr_remove_all() will not remove anything if the tree is fully
grown.
* idr_find() can't find anything if the tree is fully grown.
* idr_for_each() and idr_get_next() can't iterate anything if the tree
is fully grown.
Fix it by introducing idr_max() which returns the maximum possible ID
given the depth of tree and replacing the id limit checks in all
affected places.
As the idr_layer pointer array pa[] needs to be 1 larger than the
maximum depth, enlarge pa[] arrays by one.
While this plugs the discovered issues, the whole code base is
horrible and in desparate need of rewrite. It's fragile like hell,
