fault-injection: add ability to export fault_attr in arbitrary directory

Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject

The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and
export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like

effect on drivers implementing thermal zones, so they shouldn't see
anything related to it in <linux/thermal.h>. Making the THERMAL_HWMON
implementation fully internal has two advantages beyond the cleaner
design:
* This avoids rebuilding all thermal drivers if the THERMAL_HWMON
implementation changes, or if CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON gets enabled or
disabled.
* This avoids breaking the thermal kABI in these cases too, which should
make distributions happy.
The only drawback I can see is slightly higher memory fragmentation, as
the number of kzalloc() calls will increase by one per thermal zone. But
I doubt it will be a problem in practice, as I've never seen a system with
more than two thermal zones.

The role, or position in the array, of each device must be recorded in
its superblock. This is to help with fault handling, array reshaping,
and sanity checks. RAID 4/5/6 devices must be loaded in a specific order:
in this way, the 'array_position' field helps validate the correctness
of the mapping when it is loaded. It can be used during reshaping to
identify which devices are added/removed. Fault handling is impossible
without this field. For example, when a device fails it is recorded in
the superblock. If this is a RAID1 device and the offending device is
removed from the array, there must be a way during subsequent array
assembly to determine that the failed device was the one removed. This
is done by correlating the 'array_position' field and the bit-field

dm: ignore merge_bvec for snapshots when safe
Add a new flag DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL to struct mapped_device to indicate
whether the device can accept bios larger than the size its merge
function returns. When set, use this to send large bios to snapshots
which can split them if necessary. Snapshot I/O may be significantly
fragmented and this approach seems to improve peformance.
Before the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricted bio size to page size
if the underlying device had a merge function and the target didn't
provide a merge function. After the patch, dm_set_device_limits
restricts bio size to page size if the underlying device has a merge
function, doesn't have DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL flag and the target doesn't
provide a merge function.
The snapshot target can't provide a merge function because when the merge
function is called, it is impossible to determine where the bio will be
remapped. Previously this led us to impose a 4k limit, which we can
now remove if the snapshot store is located on a device without a merge
function. Together with another patch for optimizing full chunk writes,
it improves performance from 29MB/s to 40MB/s when writing to the
filesystem on snapshot store.
If the snapshot store is placed on a non-dm device with a merge function

so it continues to kill other tasks even if we have the oom-killed
task freeing its memory.
Change select_bad_process() to check ->mm after TIF_MEMDIE, but skip
the tasks which have already passed exit_notify() to ensure a zombie
with TIF_MEMDIE set can't block oom-killer. Alternatively we could
probably clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mmap().

ext4: prevent memory leaks from ext4_mb_init_backend() on error path
In ext4_mb_init(), if the s_locality_group allocation fails it will
currently cause the allocations made in ext4_mb_init_backend() to
be leaked. Moving the ext4_mb_init_backend() allocation after the
s_locality_group allocation avoids that problem.

Btrfs: don't call writepages from within write_full_page
When doing a writepage we call writepages to try and write out any other dirty
pages in the area. This could cause problems where we commit a transaction and
then have somebody else dirtying metadata in the area as we could end up writing
out a lot more than we care about, which could cause latency on anybody who is
waiting for the transaction to completely finish committing. Thanks,

Btrfs: don't print the leaf if we had an error
In __btrfs_free_extent we will print the leaf if we fail to find the extent we
wanted, but the problem is if we get an error we won't have a leaf so often this
leads to a NULL pointer dereference and we lose the error that actually
occurred. So only print the leaf if ret > 0, which means we didn't find the
item we were looking for but we didn't error either. This way the error is
preserved.
