When IO error happens on metadata buffer, buffer is freed from memory and
later fsync() is called, filesystems like ext2 fail to report EIO. We
solve the problem by introducing a pointer to associated address space into
the buffer_head. When a buffer is removed from a list of metadata buffers
associated with an address space, IO error is transferred from the buffer to
the address space, so that fsync can later report it.

It is possible for the ->fopen callback from lockd into nfsd to find that an
answer cannot be given straight away (an upcall is needed) and so the request
has to be 'dropped', to be retried later. That error status is not currently
propagated back.
So:
Change nlm_fopen to return nlm error codes (rather than a private
protocol) and define a new nlm_drop_reply code.
Cause nlm_drop_reply to cause the rpc request to get rpc_drop_reply
when this error comes back.
Cause svc_process to drop a request which returns a status of
rpc_drop_reply.

consistent with other archs.
Furthermore, the compiler barrier effects are now there unconditionally - at
least as far as preemption is concerned - because we don't want the compiler
moving memory accesses out of the section of code in which the mapping is in
force - in effect the kmap_atomic() must imply a LOCK-class barrier and the
kunmap_atomic() must imply an UNLOCK-class barrier to the compiler.

This implements a lazy strategy for disabling interrupts. This means
that local_irq_disable() et al. just clear the 'interrupts are
enabled' flag in the paca. If an interrupt comes along, the interrupt
entry code notices that interrupts are supposed to be disabled, and
clears the EE bit in SRR1, clears the 'interrupts are hard-enabled'
flag in the paca, and returns. This means that interrupts only
actually get disabled in the processor when an interrupt comes along.
When interrupts are enabled by local_irq_enable() et al., the code
sets the interrupts-enabled flag in the paca, and then checks whether
interrupts got hard-disabled. If so, it also sets the EE bit in the
MSR to hard-enable the interrupts.
This has the potential to improve performance, and also makes it
easier to make a kernel that can boot on iSeries and on other 64-bit
machines, since this lazy-disable strategy is very similar to the
soft-disable strategy that iSeries already uses.
This version renames paca->proc_enabled to paca->soft_enabled, and
changes a couple of soft-disables in the kexec code to hard-disables,
which should fix the crash that Michael Ellerman saw. This doesn't
yet use a reserved CR field for the soft_enabled and hard_enabled
flags. This applies on top of Stephen Rothwell's patches to make it
possible to build a combined iSeries/other kernel.

Most Bluetooth chips don't support concurrent connect requests, because
this would involve a multiple baseband page with only one radio. In the
case an upper layer like L2CAP requests a concurrent connect these chips
return the error "Command Disallowed" for the second request. If this
happens it the responsibility of the Bluetooth core to queue the request
and try again after the previous connect attempt has been completed.

Enable ondemand governor and acpi-cpufreq to use IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR
to get active frequency feedback for the last sampling interval. This will
make ondemand take right frequency decisions when hardware coordination of
frequency is going on.
Without APERF/MPERF, ondemand can take wrong decision at times due
to underlying hardware coordination or TM2.
Example:
* CPU 0 and CPU 1 are hardware cooridnated.
* CPU 1 running at highest frequency.
* CPU 0 was running at highest freq. Now ondemand reduces it to
some intermediate frequency based on utilization.
* Due to underlying hardware coordination with other CPU 1, CPU 0 continues to
run at highest frequency (as long as other CPU is at highest).
* When ondemand samples CPU 0 again next time, without actual frequency
feedback from APERF/MPERF, it will think that previous frequency change
was successful and can go to wrong target frequency. This is because it
thinks that utilization it has got this sampling interval is when running at
intermediate frequency, rather than actual highest frequency.

Unify the following functions:

acpi_ec_poll_write()

acpi_ec_intr_read()
acpi_ec_intr_write()
acpi_ec_intr_query()
into:
acpi_ec_poll_transaction()
acpi_ec_intr_transaction()
These new functions take as arguments an ACPI EC command, a few bytes
to write to the EC data register and a buffer for a few bytes to read
from the EC data register. The old _read(), _write(), _query() are
just special cases of these functions.
Then unified the code in acpi_ec_poll_transaction() and
acpi_ec_intr_transaction() a little more. Both functions are now just
wrappers around the new acpi_ec_transaction_unlocked() function. The
latter contains the EC access logic, the two original
function now just do their special way of locking and call the the
new function for the actual work.
This saves a lot of very similar code. The primary reason for doing
this, however, is that my driver for MSI 270 laptops needs to issue
some non-standard EC commands in a safe way. Due to this I added a new
exported function similar to ec_write()/ec_write() which is called
ec_transaction() and is essentially just a wrapper around
acpi_ec_{poll,intr}_transaction().

Intel processors starting with the Core Duo support
support processor native C-state using the MWAIT instruction.
Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/253668.htm
Platform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS using
ACPI _PDC and _CST methods.
Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface Specification
http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htm
With Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the processor
to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3). We won't use the special IO
ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state.
Overall this will mean better C-state support.
One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and
"treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get accurate
timing for the time spent in C1, C2, .. states.

Currently when an IPSec policy rule doesn't specify a security
context, it is assumed to be "unlabeled" by SELinux, and so
the IPSec policy rule fails to match to a flow that it would
otherwise match to, unless one has explicitly added an SELinux
policy rule allowing the flow to "polmatch" to the "unlabeled"
IPSec policy rules. In the absence of such an explicitly added
SELinux policy rule, the IPSec policy rule fails to match and
so the packet(s) flow in clear text without the otherwise applicable
xfrm(s) applied.
The above SELinux behavior violates the SELinux security notion of
"deny by default" which should actually translate to "encrypt by
default" in the above case.
This was first reported by Evgeniy Polyakov and the way James Morris
was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a
confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the
appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec.
With this patch applied, SELinux "polmatching" of flows Vs. IPSec
policy rules will only come into play when there's a explicit context
specified for the IPSec policy rule (which also means there's corresponding
SELinux policy allowing appropriate domains/flows to polmatch to this context).
Secondly, when a security module is loaded (in this case, SELinux), the
security_xfrm_policy_lookup() hook can return errors other than access denied,
such as -EINVAL. We were not handling that correctly, and in fact
inverting the return logic and propagating a false "ok" back up to
xfrm_lookup(), which then allowed packets to pass as if they were not
associated with an xfrm policy.
The solution for this is to first ensure that errno values are
correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains
from security_xfrm_policy_lookup(), and handled correctly.
Then, flow_cache_lookup() is modified, so that if the policy resolver
fails (typically a permission denied via the security module), the flow
cache entry is killed rather than having a null policy assigned (which
indicates that the packet can pass freely). This also forces any future
lookups for the same flow to consult the security module (e.g. SELinux)
for current security policy (rather than, say, caching the error on the
flow cache entry).
This patch: Fix the selinux side of things.
This makes sure SELinux polmatching of flow contexts to IPSec policy
rules comes into play only when an explicit context is associated
with the IPSec policy rule.
Also, this no longer defaults the context of a socket policy to
the context of the socket since the "no explicit context" case
is now handled properly.

(or other error). We were not handling that correctly, and in fact

The way I was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a
confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the
appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec.
The first SYNACK would be blocked, because of an uncached lookup via
flow_cache_lookup(), which would fail to resolve an xfrm policy because
the SELinux policy is checked at that point via the resolver.
However, retransmitted SYNACKs would then find a cached flow entry when
calling into flow_cache_lookup() with a null xfrm policy, which is
interpreted by xfrm_lookup() as the packet not having any associated
policy and similarly to the first case, allowing it to pass without
transformation.
The solution presented here is to first ensure that errno values are
correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains
from security_xfrm_policy_lookup(), and handled correctly.

The attached patch destroys all the dentries attached to a superblock in one go
by:
(1) Destroying the tree rooted at s_root.
(2) Destroying every entry in the anon list, one at a time.
(3) Each entry in the anon list has its subtree consumed from the leaves
inwards.
This reduces the amount of work generic_shutdown_super() does, and avoids
iterating through the dentry_unused list.
Note that locking is almost entirely absent in the shrink_dcache_for_umount*()
functions added by this patch. This is because:
(1) at the point the filesystem calls generic_shutdown_super(), it is not
permitted to further touch the superblock's set of dentries, and nor may
it remove aliases from inodes;
(2) the dcache memory shrinker now skips dentries that are being unmounted;
and
(3) the superblock no longer has any external references through which the VFS
can reach it.
Given these points, the only locking we need to do is when we remove dentries
from the unused list and the name hashes, which we do a directory's worth at a
time.
We also don't need to guard against reference counts going to zero unexpectedly
and removing bits of the tree we're working on as nothing else can call dput().
A cut down version of dentry_iput() has been folded into
shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() function. Apart from not needing to unlock
things, it also doesn't need to check for inotify watches.
In this version of the patch, the complaint about a dentry still being in use
has been expanded from a single BUG_ON() and now gives much more information.
