dispatched at high rate. To fix it, reset the slice upon rate change.

This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside

before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.
The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.
The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()

It was always abuse to reuse the plugging infrastructure for this,

There does not seem to be a clear convention whether q->queue_lock is

default and needs queue lock to be available.
In fact elevator_exit() code also has similar requirement just that it
is less stringent in the sense that elevator_exit() is called only if
elevator is initialized.
Two problems have been noticed because of ambiguity about spin lock
status.
- If a driver calls blk_alloc_queue() and then soon calls
blk_cleanup_queue() almost immediately, (because some other
driver structure allocation failed or some other error happened)
then blk_throtl_exit() will run into issues as queue lock is not
initialized. Loop driver ran into this issue recently and I
noticed error paths in md driver too. Similar error paths should
exist in other drivers too.
- If some driver provided external spin lock and zapped the lock
before blk_cleanup_queue(), then it can lead to issues.
So this patch initializes the default queue lock at queue allocation time.
block throttling code is one of the users of queue lock and it is
initialized at the queue allocation time, so it makes sense to
initialize ->queue_lock also to internal lock. A driver can overide that
lock later. This will take care of the issue where a driver does not have
to worry about initializing the queue lock to default before calling

clockevents: Prevent oneshot mode when broadcast device is periodic
When the per cpu timer is marked CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP, then we only
can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device
supports oneshot mode as well. Otherwise we would try to switch the
broadcast device into an unsupported mode unconditionally. This went
unnoticed so far as the current available broadcast devices support
oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working
around an hpet related BIOS wreckage.
Add the necessary check to tick_is_oneshot_available().

aio: fix race between io_destroy() and io_submit()
A race can occur when io_submit() races with io_destroy():

io_submit()
do_io_submit()

ctx = lookup_ioctx(ctx_id);
io_destroy()
Now do_io_submit() holds the last reference to ctx.

put_ioctx(ctx) - frees ctx with active AIOs
We solve this issue by checking whether ctx is being destroyed in AIO
submission path after adding new AIO to ctx. Then we are guaranteed that
either io_destroy() waits for new AIO or we see that ctx is being
destroyed and bail out.

mm: vmscan: stop reclaim/compaction earlier due to insufficient progress if !__GFP_REPEAT
should_continue_reclaim() for reclaim/compaction allows scanning to
continue even if pages are not being reclaimed until the full list is
scanned. In terms of allocation success, this makes sense but potentially
it introduces unwanted latency for high-order allocations such as
transparent hugepages and network jumbo frames that would prefer to fail
the allocation attempt and fallback to order-0 pages. Worse, there is a
potential that the full LRU scan will clear all the young bits, distort
page aging information and potentially push pages into swap that would
have otherwise remained resident.
This patch will stop reclaim/compaction if no pages were reclaimed in the
last SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that were considered. For allocations such as
hugetlbfs that use __GFP_REPEAT and have fewer fallback options, the full
LRU list may still be scanned.
Order-0 allocation should not be affected because RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION
is not set so the following avoids the gfp_mask being examined:
if (!(sc->reclaim_mode & RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION))
return false;
A tool was developed based on ftrace that tracked the latency of
high-order allocations while transparent hugepage support was enabled and
three benchmarks were run. The "fix-infinite" figures are 2.6.38-rc4 with
Johannes's patch "vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is done"
applied.

Mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced. order-2 looks increased but
with so few allocations, it's not particularly significant. THP mean
allocation latency is also reduced. That said, allocation time varies so
significantly that the reductions are within noise.
Max allocation time is reduced by a significant amount for low-order
allocations but reduced for THP allocations which presumably are now
breaking before reclaim has done enough work.

Again, mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced while order-2
allocations are too few to draw conclusions from. The mean time for THP
allocations is also slightly reduced albeit the reductions are within
varianes.
Once again, our maximum allocation time is significantly reduced for
low-order allocations and slightly increased for THP allocations.

This benchmark creates one thread per CPU which references an amount of
anonymous memory 1.5 times the size of physical RAM. This pounds swap
quite heavily and is intended to exercise THP a bit.
Mean allocation time for order-1 is reduced as before. It's also reduced
for THP allocations but the variations here are pretty massive due to
swap. As before, maximum allocation times are significantly reduced.
Overall, the patch reduces the mean and maximum allocation latencies for
the smaller high-order allocations. This was with Slab configured so it
would be expected to be more significant with Slub which uses these size
allocations more aggressively.
The mean allocation times for THP allocations are also slightly reduced.
The maximum latency was slightly increased as predicted by the comments
due to reclaim/compaction breaking early. However, workloads care more
about the latency of lower-order allocations than THP so it's an
acceptable trade-off.
