Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.
The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).
Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.
For further information and examples of how to use this, please read

ext4: fake direct I/O mode for data=journal
Currently attempts to open a file with O_DIRECT in data=journal mode
causes the open to fail with -EINVAL. This makes it very hard to test
data=journal mode. So we will let the open succeed, but then always
fall back to O_DSYNC buffered writes.
On platforms with no iCRU support don't print two, (possibly conflicting),
"NMI occurred" messages when the firmware is unable to source the NMI.
Please note that one of the enhancements to the v1.3.0 hpwdt driver is to panic and allow
KDUMP to succeed even on NMIs that are unknown to the platform firmware.

mm: fix wrong vmap address calculations with odd NR_CPUS values
Commit db64fe02258f ("mm: rewrite vmap layer") introduced code that does
address calculations under the assumption that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE is a
power of two. However, this might not be true if CONFIG_NR_CPUS is not
set to a power of two.
Wrong vmap_block index/offset values could lead to memory corruption.
However, this has never been observed in practice (or never been
diagnosed correctly); what caught this was the BUG_ON in vb_alloc() that
checks for inconsistent vmap_block indices.
To fix this, ensure that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE always is a power of two.

ALSA: snd_usb_caiaq: track submitted output urbs
The snd_usb_caiaq driver currently assumes that output urbs are serviced
in time and doesn't track when and whether they are given back by the
USB core. That usually works fine, but due to temporary limitations of
the XHCI stack, we faced that urbs were submitted more than once with
this approach.
As it's no good practice to fire and forget urbs anyway, this patch
introduces a proper bit mask to track which requests have been submitted
and given back.
That alone however doesn't make the driver work in case the host
controller is broken and doesn't give back urbs at all, and the output
stream will stop once all pre-allocated output urbs are consumed. But
it does prevent crashes of the controller stack in such cases.

PM / Suspend: Add statistics debugfs file for suspend to RAM
Record S3 failure time about each reason and the latest two failed
devices' names in S3 progress.
We can check it through 'suspend_stats' entry in debugfs.
The motivation of the patch:
We are enabling power features on Medfield. Comparing with PC/notebook,
a mobile enters/exits suspend-2-ram (we call it s3 on Medfield) far
more frequently. If it can't enter suspend-2-ram in time, the power
might be used up soon.
We often find sometimes, a device suspend fails. Then, system retries
s3 over and over again. As display is off, testers and developers
don't know what happens.
Some testers and developers complain they don't know if system
tries suspend-2-ram, and what device fails to suspend. They need
such info for a quick check. The patch adds suspend_stats under
debugfs for users to check suspend to RAM statistics quickly.
If not using this patch, we have other methods to get info about
what device fails. One is to turn on CONFIG_PM_DEBUG, but users
would get too much info and testers need recompile the system.
In addition, dynamic debug is another good tool to dump debug info.
But it still doesn't match our utilization scenario closely.
1) user need write a user space parser to process the syslog output;
2) Our testing scenario is we leave the mobile for at least hours.
Then, check its status. No serial console available during the
testing. One is because console would be suspended, and the other
is serial console connecting with spi or HSU devices would consume
power. These devices are powered off at suspend-2-ram.

PM / Runtime: Add might_sleep() to runtime PM functions
Some of the entry points to pm runtime are not safe to
call in atomic context unless pm_runtime_irq_safe() has
been called. Inspecting the code, it is not immediately
obvious that the functions sleep at all, as they run
inside a spin_lock_irqsave, but under some conditions
they can drop the lock and turn on irqs.
If a driver incorrectly calls the pm_runtime apis, it can
cause sleeping and irq processing when it expects to stay
in atomic context.
Add might_sleep_if to the majority of the __pm_runtime_* entry points
to enforce correct usage.
Add pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend to the list of

PM / Domains: Rename argument of pm_genpd_add_subdomain()
Change the name of the second argument of pm_genpd_add_subdomain()
so that it is (a) shorter and (b) in agreement with the name of
the second argument of pm_genpd_add_subdomain().
PM / Domains: Rename GPD_STATE_WAIT_PARENT to GPD_STATE_WAIT_MASTER
Since it is now possible for a PM domain to have multiple masters
instead of one parent, rename the "wait for parent" status to reflect
the new situation.
PM / Domains: Allow generic PM domains to have multiple masters
Currently, for a given generic PM domain there may be only one parent
domain (i.e. a PM domain it depends on). However, there is at least
one real-life case in which there should be two parents (masters) for
one PM domain (the A3RV domain on SH7372 turns out to depend on the
A4LC domain and it depends on the A4R domain and the same time). For
this reason, allow a PM domain to have multiple parents (masters) by
introducing objects representing links between PM domains.
The (logical) links between PM domains represent relationships in
which one domain is a master (i.e. it is depended on) and another
domain is a slave (i.e. it depends on the master) with the rule that
the slave cannot be powered on if the master is not powered on and
the master cannot be powered off if the slave is not powered off.
Each struct generic_pm_domain object representing a PM domain has
two lists of links, a list of links in which it is a master and
a list of links in which it is a slave. The first of these lists
replaces the list of subdomains and the second one is used in place
of the parent pointer.
Each link is represented by struct gpd_link object containing
pointers to the master and the slave and two struct list_head
members allowing it to hook into two lists (the master's list
of "master" links and the slave's list of "slave" links). This
allows the code to get to the link from each side (either from
the master or from the slave) and follow it in each direction.
PM / Domains: Add "wait for parent" status for generic PM domains
The next patch will make it possible for a generic PM domain to have
multiple parents (i.e. multiple PM domains it depends on). To
prepare for that change it is necessary to change pm_genpd_poweron()
so that it doesn't jump to the start label after running itself
recursively for the parent domain. For this purpose, introduce a new
PM domain status value GPD_STATE_WAIT_PARENT that will be set by
pm_genpd_poweron() before calling itself recursively for the parent
domain and modify the code in drivers/base/power/domain.c so that
the GPD_STATE_WAIT_PARENT status is guaranteed to be preserved during
the execution of pm_genpd_poweron() for the parent.
This change also causes pm_genpd_add_subdomain() and
pm_genpd_remove_subdomain() to wait for started pm_genpd_poweron() to
complete and allows pm_genpd_runtime_resume() to avoid dropping the
lock after powering on the PM domain.
PM / Domains: Make pm_genpd_poweron() always survive parent removal
If pm_genpd_remove_subdomain() is called to remove a PM domain's
subdomain and pm_genpd_poweron() is called for that subdomain at
the same time, and the pm_genpd_poweron() called by it recursively
for the parent returns an error, the first pm_genpd_poweron()'s
error code path will attempt to decrement the subdomain counter of
a PM domain that it's not a subdomain of any more.
Rearrange the code in pm_genpd_poweron() to prevent this from
happening.
PM / Domains: Do not take parent locks to modify subdomain counters
After the subdomain counter in struct generic_pm_domain has been
changed into an atomic_t field, it is possible to modify
pm_genpd_poweron() and pm_genpd_poweroff() so that they don't take
the parents locks. This requires pm_genpd_poweron() to increment
the parent's subdomain counter before calling itself recursively
for the parent and to decrement it if an error is to be returned.
PM / Domains: Implement subdomain counters as atomic fields
Currently, pm_genpd_poweron() and pm_genpd_poweroff() need to take
the parent PM domain's lock in order to modify the parent's counter
of active subdomains in a nonracy way. This causes the locking to be
considerably complex and in fact is not necessary, because the
subdomain counters may be implemented as atomic fields and they
won't have to be modified under a lock.
Replace the unsigned in sd_count field in struct generic_pm_domain
by an atomic_t one and modify the code in drivers/base/power/domain.c
to take this change into account.
This patch doesn't change the locking yet, that is going to be done
in a separate subsequent patch.
