rcu: Make callers awaken grace-period kthread
The rcu_start_gp_advanced() function currently uses irq_work_queue()
to defer wakeups of the RCU grace-period kthread. This deferring
is necessary to avoid RCU-scheduler deadlocks involving the rcu_node
structure's lock, meaning that RCU cannot call any of the scheduler's
wake-up functions while holding one of these locks.
Unfortunately, the second and subsequent calls to irq_work_queue() are
ignored, and the first call will be ignored (aside from queuing the work
item) if the scheduler-clock tick is turned off. This is OK for many
uses, especially those where irq_work_queue() is called from an interrupt
or softirq handler, because in those cases the scheduler-clock-tick state
will be re-evaluated, which will turn the scheduler-clock tick back on.
On the next tick, any deferred work will then be processed.
However, this strategy does not always work for RCU, which can be invoked
at process level from idle CPUs. In this case, the tick might never
be turned back on, indefinitely defering a grace-period start request.
Note that the RCU CPU stall detector cannot see this condition, because
there is no RCU grace period in progress. Therefore, we can (and do!)
see long tens-of-seconds stalls in grace-period handling. In theory,
we could see a full grace-period hang, but rcutorture testing to date
has seen only the tens-of-seconds stalls. Event tracing demonstrates
that irq_work_queue() is being called repeatedly to no effect during
these stalls: The "newreq" event appears repeatedly from a task that is
not one of the grace-period kthreads.
In theory, irq_work_queue() might be fixed to avoid this sort of issue,
but RCU's requirements are unusual and it is quite straightforward to pass
wake-up responsibility up through RCU's call chain, so that the wakeup
happens when the offending locks are released.
This commit therefore makes this change. The rcu_start_gp_advanced(),
rcu_start_future_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs(), rcu_advance_cbs(),
__note_gp_changes(), and rcu_start_gp() functions now return a boolean
which indicates when a wake-up is needed. A new rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
does the wakeup when it is necessary and safe to do so: No self-wakes,
no wake-ups if the ->gp_flags field indicates there is no need (as in
someone else did the wake-up before we got around to it), and no wake-ups
before the grace-period kthread has been created.

sym53c8xx_2: Set DID_REQUEUE return code when aborting squeue
This patch fixes I/O errors with the sym53c8xx_2 driver when the disk
returns QUEUE FULL status.
When the controller encounters an error (including QUEUE FULL or BUSY
status), it aborts all not yet submitted requests in the function
sym_dequeue_from_squeue.
This function aborts them with DID_SOFT_ERROR.
If the disk has full tag queue, the request that caused the overflow is
aborted with QUEUE FULL status (and the scsi midlayer properly retries
it until it is accepted by the disk), but the sym53c8xx_2 driver aborts
the following requests with DID_SOFT_ERROR --- for them, the midlayer
does just a few retries and then signals the error up to sd.
The result is that disk returning QUEUE FULL causes request failures.
The error was reproduced on 53c895 with COMPAQ BD03685A24 disk
(rebranded ST336607LC) with command queue 48 or 64 tags. The disk has
64 tags, but under some access patterns it return QUEUE FULL when there
are less than 64 pending tags. The SCSI specification allows returning
QUEUE FULL anytime and it is up to the host to retry.

powerpc: Don't try to set LPCR unless we're in hypervisor mode
Commit 8f619b5429d9 ("powerpc/ppc64: Do not turn AIL (reloc-on
interrupts) too early") added code to set the AIL bit in the LPCR
without checking whether the kernel is running in hypervisor mode. The
result is that when the kernel is running as a guest (i.e., under
PowerKVM or PowerVM), the processor takes a privileged instruction
interrupt at that point, causing a panic. The visible result is that
the kernel hangs after printing "returning from prom_init".
This fixes it by checking for hypervisor mode being available before
setting LPCR. If we are not in hypervisor mode, we enable relocation-on
interrupts later in pSeries_setup_arch using the H_SET_MODE hcall.

5) Several call sites of sk->sk_data_ready() were referencing an SKB

the skb is added to the receive queue it can be consumed in another

when workqueues have been initialized. This permits the register read
error handling from attempting to use them prior to that, which also
generates warnings. Checking for a detected removal after initializing
the work queues allows the probe function to return an error without
getting the workqueue involved. Further, if the error_detected
callback is entered before the workqueues are initialized, exit without
recovery since the device initialization was so truncated.
Francois Romieu provides several patches to all the drivers to remove
the open coded skb_cow_head.
Jakub Kicinski provides a fix for igb where last_rx_timestamp should be
updated only when Rx time stamp is read.
Mitch provides a fix for i40evf where a recent change broke the RSS LUT
programming causing it to be programmed with all 0's.

Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This includes the final patch to clean up and fix the issue with the
design of tracepoints and how a user could register a tracepoint and
have that tracepoint not be activated but no error was shown.
The design was for an out of tree module but broke in tree users. The
clean up was to remove the saving of the hash table of tracepoint
names such that they can be enabled before they exist (enabling a
module tracepoint before that module is loaded). This added more
complexity than needed. The clean up was to remove that code and just
enable tracepoints that exist or fail if they do not.
This removed a lot of code as well as the complexity that it brought.
As a side effect, instead of registering a tracepoint by its name, the
tracepoint needs to be registered with the tracepoint descriptor.
This removes having to duplicate the tracepoint names that are
enabled.
The second patch was added that simplified the way modules were
searched for.
This cleanup required changes that were in the 3.15 queue as well as
some changes that were added late in the 3.14-rc cycle. This final
change waited till the two were merged in upstream and then the change
was added and full tests were run. Unfortunately, the test found some
errors, but after it was already submitted to the for-next branch and
not to be rebased. Sparse errors were detected by Fengguang Wu's bot
tests, and my internal tests discovered that the anonymous union
initialization triggered a bug in older gcc compilers. Luckily, there
was a bugzilla for the gcc bug which gave a work around to the
problem. The third and fourth patch handled the sparse error and the
gcc bug respectively.
A final patch was tagged along to fix a missing documentation for the
README file"

cifs: fix the race in cifs_writev()
O_APPEND handling there hadn't been completely fixed by Pavel's
patch; it checks the right value, but it's racy - we can't really
do that until i_mutex has been taken.
Fix by switching to __generic_file_aio_write() (open-coding
generic_file_aio_write(), actually) and pulling mutex_lock() above
inode_size_read().

pktgen: be friendly to LLTX devices
Similarly to commit 43279500deca ("packet: respect devices with
LLTX flag in direct xmit"), we can basically apply the very same
to pktgen. This will help testing against LLTX devices such as
dummy driver (or others), which only have a single netdevice txq
and would otherwise require locking their txq from pktgen side
while e.g. in dummy case, we would not need any locking. Fix this
by making use of HARD_TX_{UN,}LOCK API, so that NETIF_F_LLTX will
be respected.

When the device is unplugged, the driver would try to disable the
device. Add checking the flag of RTL8152_UNPLUG to skip setting
the device when it is unplugged. This could shorten the time of
unloading the driver.

net: sun4i-emac: add promiscuous support
The sun4i-emac driver is rather primitive, and doesn't support
promiscuous mode. This makes usage such as bridging impossible,
which is a shame on virtualization capable HW such as the
Allwinner A20.
The fix is fairly simple: move the RX setup code to the ndo_set_rx_mode
vector, and add the required HW configuration when IFF_PROMISC is passed
by the core code.
This has been tested on a generic A20 box running a few virtual
machines hanging off a bridge with the EMAC chip as the link to the
outside world.
