ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd and ide-cd
check_events() implementations in both ide-gd and ide-cd are
inadequate for in-kernel event polling. Both generate media change
events continuously when certain conditions are met causing infinite
event loop between the driver and userland event handler.
As disk event now supports suppression of unlisted events, simply
de-listing DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from disk->events resolves the
problem. Internal handling around media revalidation will behave the
same while userland will fall back to userland event polling after
detecting the device doesn't support disk events.
block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to userland
DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE is used for both userland visible event and
internal event for revalidation of removeable devices. Some legacy
drivers don't implement proper event detection and continuously
generate events under certain circumstances. For example, ide-cd
generates media changed continuously if there's no media in the drive,
which can lead to infinite loop of events jumping back and forth
between the driver and userland event handler.
This patch updates disk event infrastructure such that it never
propagates events not listed in disk->events to userland. Those
events are processed the same for internal purposes but uevent
generation is suppressed.
This also ensures that userland only gets events which are advertised
in the @events sysfs node lowering risk of confusion.
elevator: check for ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE in !elvpriv case too
The sort insert is the one that goes to the IO scheduler. With
the SORT_MERGE addition, we could bypass IO scheduler setup
but still ask the IO scheduler to insert the request. This would
cause an oops on switching IO schedulers through the sysfs
interface, unless the disk just happened to be idle while it
occured.

intel_iommu: disable all VT-d PMRs when TXT launched
Intel VT-d Protected Memory Regions (PMRs) are supposed to be disabled,
on each VT-d engine, after DMA remapping is enabled on the engines.
This is because the behavior of having both enabled is not deterministic
and because, if TXT has been used to launch the kernel, the PMRs may be
programmed to cover memory regions that will be used for DMA.
Under some circumstances (certain quirks detected, lack of multiple
devices, etc.), the current code does not set up DMA remapping on some
VT-d engines. In such cases it also skips disabling the PMRs. This
causes failures when the kernel is launched with TXT (most often this
occurs on the graphics engine and results in colored vertical bars on
the display).
This patch detects when the kernel has been launched with TXT and then
disables the PMRs on all VT-d engines. In some cases where the reason
that remapping is not being enabled is due to possible ACPI DMAR table
errors, the VT-d engine addresses may not be correct and thus not able
to be safely programmed even to disable PMRs. Because part of the TXT
launch process is the verification of these addresses, it will always be
safe to disable PMRs if the TXT launch has succeeded and hence only
doing this in such cases.

x86, numa: Fix cpu nodemasks for NUMA emulation and CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS
The cpu<->node mappings under CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y
when NUMA emulation is enabled is currently broken because it does
not iterate through every emulated node and bind cpus that have
affinity to it.
NUMA emulation should bind each cpu to every local node to

debug_cpumask_set_cpu() needs to be fixed at the same time so
that the debugging information that it emits shows the new
cpumask of the node being assigned when the cpu is being added

It can now take responsibility of setting or clearing the cpu

Revert "x86, NUMA: Fix fakenuma boot failure"
Andreas Herrmann reported that 7d6b46707f24 ("x86, NUMA: Fix fakenuma

AMD Magny-Cours) to move sibling cpus to a single node when in reality
they are in separate domains.
This may result in some nodes being completely void of cpus, which
doesn't accurately represent the correct topology. The system will
boot, but will have suboptimal NUMA performance.
This commit was intended as a fix for NUMA emulation, but should
not cause a regression for real NUMA machines as a side effect.

will not affect physical topologies. )

Another problem in agp code is not addressed in the patch - kernel memory

Open with O_CREAT flag set fails to open existing files on non writable directories
An open on a NFS4 share using the O_CREAT flag on an existing file for
which we have permissions to open but contained in a directory with no
write permissions will fail with EACCES.
A tcpdump shows that the client had set the open mode to UNCHECKED which
indicates that the file should be created if it doesn't exist and
encountering an existing flag is not an error. Since in this case the
file exists and can be opened by the user, the NFS server is wrong in
attempting to check create permissions on the parent directory.

only if the file doesn't exist.

xen: mask_rw_pte: do not apply the early_ioremap checks on x86_32
The two "is_early_ioremap_ptep" checks in mask_rw_pte are only used on
x86_64, in fact early_ioremap is not used at all to setup the initial

Moreover on x86_32 the two checks are wrong because the range
pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end initially should be mapped RW because
the pages in the range are not pagetable pages yet and haven't been
cleared yet. Afterwards considering the pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end is
part of the initial mapping, xen_alloc_pte is capable of turning
the ptes RO when they become pagetable pages.

md: Fix dev_sectors on takeover from raid0 to raid4/5
A raid0 array doesn't set 'dev_sectors' as each device might
contribute a different number of sectors.
So when converting to a RAID4 or RAID5 we need to set dev_sectors
as they need the number.
We have already verified that in fact all devices do contribute
the same number of sectors, so use that number.
We previously needed to set ->queue_lock to match the raid5
device_lock so we could safely use queue_flag_* operations (e.g. for
plugging). which test the ->queue_lock is in fact locked.
However that need has completely gone away and is unlikely to come
back to remove this now-pointless setting.

If we don't satify the situation of "if", we can get that
rl->count[BLK_RW_SYNC} < q->nr_quests. It is the same as
rl->count[BLK_RW_SYNC]+1 <= q->nr_requests.
All the "else" should satisfy the "else if" check so it isn't
needed actually.

We are currently using this flag to check whether it's safe
to call into ->request_fn(). If it is set, we punt to kblockd.
But we get a lot of false positives and excessive punts to
kblockd, which hurts performance.
The only real abuser of this infrastructure is SCSI. So export
the async queue run and convert SCSI over to use that. There's
room for improvement in that SCSI need not always use the async
call, but this fixes our performance issue and they can fix that
up in due time.

perf tools: Makefile: PYTHON{,_CONFIG} to bandage Python 3 incompatibility
Currently, Python 3 is not supported by perf's code; this
can cause the build to fail for systems that have Python 3
installed as the default python:
python{,-config}
The Correct Solution is to write compatibility code so that
Python 3 works out-of-the-box.
However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed:
python2{,-config}
Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those
ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should
use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit,
the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations
without the need for updating any PATH variable.
This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG
either as environment variables or as make variables on the
command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON
is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly.
Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user
explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables.
In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile
infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the
shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope
it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.
It is only necessary to include the environment variable
assignment just before the command to be run.
Also, it is better to use single-quotes, because GNU make
might expand `$(BASIC_CFLAGS)' into something that the shell
could interpret within double-quotes.

perf, x86: Fix pre-defined cache-misses event for AMD family 15h cpus
With AMD cpu family 15h a unit mask was introduced for the Data Cache
Miss event (0x041/L1-dcache-load-misses). We need to enable bit 0
(first data cache miss or streaming store to a 64 B cache line) of
this mask to proper count data cache misses.
Now we set this bit for all families and models. In case a PMU does
not implement a unit mask for event 0x041 the bit is ignored.
cfq-iosched: read_lock() does not always imply rcu_read_lock()
For some configurations of CONFIG_PREEMPT that is not true. So
get rid of __call_for_each_cic() and always uses the explicitly
rcu_read_lock() protected call_for_each_cic() instead.
This fixes a potential bug related to IO scheduler removal or
online switching.

next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed
in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc.
Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range
(and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the
helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.
So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1"
doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the
pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow
case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to
overflow).

Mouse gets "stuck" after restore of PV guest but buttons are in working

If driver has been configured for ABS coordinates at start it will get

XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION events, that will be dropped later and they won't get

GFS2: filesystem hang caused by incorrect lock order
This patch fixes a deadlock in GFS2 where two processes are trying
to reclaim an unlinked dinode:
One holds the inode glock and calls gfs2_lookup_by_inum trying to look
up the inode, which it can't, due to I_FREEING. The other has set
I_FREEING from vfs and is at the beginning of gfs2_delete_inode
waiting for the glock, which is held by the first. The solution is to
add a new non_block parameter to the gfs2_iget function that causes it
to return -ENOENT if the inode is being freed.

GFS2 was relying on the writepage code to write out the zeroed data for
fallocate. However, with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE set, this may be past i_size.
If it is, it will be ignored. To work around this, gfs2 now calls
write_dirty_buffer directly on the buffer_heads when FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE
is set, and it's writing past i_size.

In function gfs2_write_end, in the unlikely event that
