Unfortunately this is causing big performance regressions for

Requeue of requests upon seeing a BUSY condition from the device
ends up re-running the queue, causing traces like this:
potentially causing the issue we want to avoid. So special
case the requeue re-run of the queue, but improve it to offload
the entire run of local queue and starved queue from a single

kicking off a workqueue run for each device seen.
This also fixes the issue of the local device going into recursion,

This bug was caused by commit c8adf9a3e873 ("PCI: pre-allocate
additional resources to devices only after successful allocation of
essential resources.")
After that commit, pci_hotplug_io_size is changed to additional_io_size
from minium size. So it will not go through resource_size(res) != 0
path, and will not be reset.
The root cause is: pci_bridge_check_ranges will set RESOURCE_IO flag for
pci bridge, and later if children do not need IO resource. those bridge
resources will not need to be allocated. but flags is still there.
that will confuse the the pci_enable_bridges later.

idx = res - &list->dev->resource[0];
if (resource_size(res) && pci_assign_resource(list->dev, idx)) {

}
At last, We have to clear the flags in pbus_size_mem/io when requested
size == 0 and !add_head. becasue this case it will not go through
adjust_resources_sorted().
Just make size1 = size0 when !add_head. it will make flags get cleared.
At the same time when requested size == 0, add_size != 0, will still

tick: Clear broadcast active bit when switching to oneshot
The first cpu which switches from periodic to oneshot mode switches
also the broadcast device into oneshot mode. The broadcast device
serves as a backup for per cpu timers which stop in deeper
C-states. To avoid starvation of the cpus which might be in idle and
depend on broadcast mode it marks the other cpus as broadcast active
and sets the brodcast expiry value of those cpus to the next tick.
The oneshot mode broadcast bit for the other cpus is sticky and gets
only cleared when those cpus exit idle. If a cpu was not idle while
the bit got set in consequence the bit prevents that the broadcast
device is armed on behalf of that cpu when it enters idle for the
first time after it switched to oneshot mode.
In most cases that goes unnoticed as one of the other cpus has usually
a timer pending which keeps the broadcast device armed with a short
timeout. Now if the only cpu which has a short timer active has the
bit set then the broadcast device will not be armed on behalf of that
cpu and will fire way after the expected timer expiry. In the case of
Christians bug report it took ~145 seconds which is about half of the
wrap around time of HPET (the limit for that device) due to the fact
that all other cpus had no timers armed which expired before the 145
seconds timeframe.
The solution is simply to clear the broadcast active bit
unconditionally when a cpu switches to oneshot mode after the first
cpu switched the broadcast device over. It's not idle at that point
otherwise it would not be executing that code.
[ I fundamentally hate that broadcast crap. Why the heck thought some
folks that when going into deep idle it's a brilliant concept to
switch off the last device which brings the cpu back from that
state? ]

Simplified call sequence:
1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true.
2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled,
so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features.

Currentlly we first map the task to cgroup and then cgroup to
blkio_cgroup. There is a more direct way to get to blkio_cgroup
from task using task_subsys_state(). Use that.
The real reason for the fix is that it also avoids a race in generic
cgroup code. During remount/umount rebind_subsystems() is called and
it can do following with and rcu protection.
cgrp->subsys[i] = NULL;
That means if somebody got hold of cgroup under rcu and then it tried
to do cgroup->subsys[] to get to blkio_cgroup, it would get NULL which
is wrong. I was running into this race condition with ltp running on a
upstream derived kernel and that lead to crash.
So ideally we should also fix cgroup generic code to wait for rcu
grace period before setting pointer to NULL. Li Zefan is not very keen
on introducing synchronize_wait() as he thinks it will slow
down moun/remount/umount operations.
So for the time being atleast fix the kernel crash by taking a more
direct route to blkio_cgroup.

and with this fix crash is no more seen while the test has been

x86, apic: Fix spurious error interrupts triggering on all non-boot APs
This patch fixes a bug reported by a customer, who found
that many unreasonable error interrupts reported on all
non-boot CPUs (APs) during the system boot stage.
According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual
Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when
an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under
FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether
the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These
errors are seen as error interrupts.
The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads
0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI
sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for
the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI.
When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt,
the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required
from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register
programmed as such as well.
This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling
interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to
0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will
signal illegal vector error interrupts.
This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before
restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register.

in this case would leave a swap area impossible to swapoff.

fbmem: fix remove_conflicting_framebuffers races
When a register_framebuffer() call results in us removing old
conflicting framebuffers, the new registration_lock doesn't protect that
situation. And we can't just add the same locking to the function,
because these functions call each other: register_framebuffer() calls
remove_conflicting_framebuffers, which in turn calls
unregister_framebuffer for any conflicting entry.
In order to fix it, this just creates wrapper functions around all three
functions and makes the versions that actually do the work be called
"do_xxx()", leaving just the wrapper that gets the lock and calls the
worker function.
So the rule becomes simply that "do_xxxx()" has to be called with the
lock held, and now do_register_framebuffer() can just call
do_remove_conflicting_framebuffers(), and that in turn can call
_do_unregister_framebuffer(), and there is no deadlock, and we can hold
the registration lock over the whole sequence, fixing the races.
It also makes error cases simpler, and fixes one situation where we
would return from unregister_framebuffer() without releasing the lock,
pointed out by Bruno Prémont.
