These helper functions can be used to efficiently scan lru list
for eviction. Eviction becomes a three stage process:
1. Scanning through the lru list until a suitable hole has been found.
2. Scan backwards to restore drm_mm consistency and find out which
objects fall into the hole.
3. Evict the objects that fall into the hole.
These helper functions don't allocate any memory (at the price of
not allowing any other concurrent operations). Hence this can also be
used for ttm (which does lru scanning under a spinlock).
Evicting objects in this fashion should be more fair than the current
approach by i915 (scan the lru for a object large enough to contain
the new object). It's also more efficient than the current approach used
by ttm (uncoditionally evict objects from the lru until there's enough
free space).

Repeated ttm_page_alloc_init/fini fails noisily because the pool
manager kobj isn't zeroed out between uses (we could do just that but
statically allocated kobjects are generally considered a bad thing).
Move it to kzalloc'ed memory.
Note that this patch drops the refcounting behavior of the pool
allocator init/fini functions: it would have led to a race condition
in its current form, and anyway it was never exploited.
This fixes a regression with reloading kms modules at runtime, since
page allocator was introduced.

This patch introduces 3 VFS accessors: 'sb_mark_dirty()',
'sb_mark_clean()', and 'sb_is_dirty()'. They simply
set 'sb->s_dirt' or test 'sb->s_dirt'. The plan is to make
every FS use these accessors later instead of manipulating
the 'sb->s_dirt' flag directly.
Ultimately, this change is a preparation for the periodic
superblock synchronization optimization which is about
preventing the "sync_supers" kernel thread from waking up
even if there is nothing to synchronize.
This patch does not do any functional change, just adds
accessor functions.

This allows a list_head (or hlist_head, etc.) to be used from places
that used to be impractical, in particular <asm/processor.h>, which
used to cause include file recursion: <linux/list.h> includes
<linux/prefetch.h>, which always includes <asm/processor.h> for the
prefetch macros, as well as <asm/system.h>, which often includes
<asm/processor.h> directly or indirectly.
This avoids a lot of painful workaround hackery on the tile
architecture, where we use a list_head in the thread_struct to chain
together tasks that are activated on a particular hardwall.

This patch makes the cache_cleaner workqueue deferrable, to prevent
unnecessary system wake-ups, which is very important for embedded
battery-powered devices.
do_cache_clean() is called every 30 seconds at the moment, and often
makes the system wake up from its power-save sleep state. With this
change, when the workqueue uses a deferrable timer, the
do_cache_clean() invocation will be delayed and combined with the
closest "real" wake-up. This improves the power consumption situation.
Note, I tried to create a DECLARE_DELAYED_WORK_DEFERRABLE() helper
macro, similar to DECLARE_DELAYED_WORK(), but failed because of the
way the timer wheel core stores the deferrable flag (it is the
LSBit in the time->base pointer). My attempt to define a static
variable with this bit set ended up with the "initializer element is
not constant" error.
Thus, I have to use run-time initialization, so I created a new
cache_initialize() function which is called once when sunrpc is
being initialized.

First remove items from work_list as soon as we start working on them. This
means we don't have to track any pending or visited state and can get
rid of all the RCU magic freeing the work items - we can simply free
them once the operation has finished. Second use a real completion for
tracking synchronous requests - if the caller sets the completion pointer
we complete it, otherwise use it as a boolean indicator that we can free
the work item directly. Third unify struct wb_writeback_args and struct
bdi_work into a single data structure, wb_writeback_work. Previous we
set all parameters into a struct wb_writeback_args, copied it into
struct bdi_work, copied it again on the stack to use it there. Instead
of just allocate one structure dynamically or on the stack and use it
all the way through the stack.

netif_vdbg() was originally defined as entirely equivalent to
netdev_vdbg(), but I assume that it was intended to take the same
parameters as netif_dbg() etc. (Currently it is only used by the
sfc driver, in which I worked on that assumption.)
In commit a4ed89c I changed the definition used when VERBOSE_DEBUG is

VERBOSE_DEBUG is defined was also not as I expected. Change that to

* "Almost" because some chips still require platform data, and for these
chips OF-glue is still needed, though with this change the glue will

Currently the kernel uses the struct device_node.data pointer to resolve
a struct gpio_chip pointer from a device tree node. However, the .data
member doesn't provide any type checking and there aren't any rules
enforced on what it should be used for. There's no guarantee that the
data stored in it actually points to an gpio_chip pointer.
Instead of relying on the .data pointer, this patch modifies the code
to add a lookup function which scans through the registered gpio_chips
and returns the gpio_chip that has a pointer to the specified
device_node.

The OF gpio infrastructure is great for describing GPIO connections within
the device tree. However, using a GPIO binding still requires changes to
the gpio controller just to add an of_gpio structure. In most cases, the
gpio controller doesn't actually need any special support and the simple
OF gpio mapping function is more than sufficient. Additional, the current
scheme of using of_gpio_chip requires a convoluted scheme to maintain
1:1 mappings between of_gpio_chip and gpio_chip instances.
If the struct of_gpio_chip data members were moved into struct gpio_chip,
then it would simplify the processing of OF gpio bindings, and it would
make it trivial to use device tree OF connections on existing gpiolib
controller drivers.
This patch eliminates the of_gpio_chip structure and moves the relevant
fields into struct gpio_chip (conditional on CONFIG_OF_GPIO). This move
simplifies the existing code and prepares for adding automatic device tree
support to existing drivers.

Merge common irq mapping code between PowerPC and Microblaze.
This patch merges of_irq_find_parent(), of_irq_map_raw() and
of_irq_map_one(). The functions are dependent on one another, so all
three are merged in a single patch. Other than cosmetic difference
(ie. DBG() vs. pr_debug()), the implementations are identical.
of_irq_to_resource() is also merged, but in this case the
implementations are different. This patch drops the microblaze version
and uses the powerpc implementation unchanged. The microblaze version
essentially open-coded irq_of_parse_and_map() which it does not need
to do. Therefore the powerpc version is safe to adopt.

Reimplement augmented RB-trees without sprinkling extra branches
all over the RB-tree code (which lives in the scheduler hot path).
This approach is 'borrowed' from Fabio's BFQ implementation and
relies on traversing the rebalance path after the RB-tree-op to
correct the heap property for insertion/removal and make up for
the damage done by the tree rotations.
For insertion the rebalance path is trivially that from the new
node upwards to the root, for removal it is that from the deepest
node in the path from the to be removed node that will still
be around after the removal.

Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise
skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can
be sent to the underlying driver.
The flow for this is,
dev_queue_xmit()
dev_pick_tx()
skb_tx_hash() => hash using real_num_tx_queues
skb_set_queue_mapping()
...
qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash
...
dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n
...
sch_direct_xmit()
dev_hard_start_xmit()
ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash
skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set
0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues. When the driver
decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the
qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues.
This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB
and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map
skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to
rings that no longer exist.

WQ_SINGLE_CPU combined with @max_active of 1 is used to achieve full
ordering among works queued to a workqueue. The same can be achieved
using WQ_UNBOUND as unbound workqueues always use the gcwq for
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. As @max_active is always one and benefits from cpu
locality isn't accessible anyway, serving them with unbound workqueues
should be fine.
Drop WQ_SINGLE_CPU support and use WQ_UNBOUND instead. Note that most
single thread workqueue users will be converted to use multithread or
non-reentrant instead and only the ones which require strict ordering
will keep using WQ_UNBOUND + @max_active of 1.

properties.
* It uses a dedicated gcwq with a pseudo CPU number WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This gcwq is always online and disassociated.
* Workers are not bound to any CPU and not concurrency managed. Works
are dispatched to workers as soon as possible and the only applied
limitation is @max_active. IOW, all unbound workqeueues are
implicitly high priority.

* Add WORK_CPU_* constants for pseudo cpu id numbers used (currently
only WORK_CPU_NONE) and use them instead of NR_CPUS. This is to
allow another pseudo cpu id for unbound cpu.
* Reorder WQ_* flags.
* Make workqueue_struct->cpu_wq a union which contains a percpu
pointer, regular pointer and an unsigned long value and use
kzalloc/kfree() in UP allocation path. This will be used to
implement unbound workqueues which will use only one cwq on SMPs.
* Move alloc_cwqs() allocation after initialization of wq fields, so
that alloc_cwqs() has access to wq->flags.
