c3d6de698c ACPI video: if no ACPI backlight support, use vendor drivers
If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with
latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and
switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi,
thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi).

Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the
brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad.

This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before
driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up
patches.

"acpi_backlight=vendor"
	Prever vendor driver over ACPI driver for backlight.
"acpi_backlight=video" (default)
	Prever ACPI driver over vendor driver for backlight.

22c13f9d81 ACPI: video: Ignore devices that aren't present in hardware
This is a reimplemention of commit
0119509c4f
from Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>

This patch got removed because of a regression: ThinkPads with a
Intel graphics card and an Integrated Graphics Device BIOS implementation
stopped working.
In fact, they only worked because the ACPI device of the discrete, the
wrong one, got used (via int10). So ACPI functions were poking on the wrong
hardware used which is a sever bug.
The next patch provides support for above ThinkPads to be able to
switch brightness via the legacy thinkpad_acpi driver and automatically
detect when to use it.

Original commit message from Matthew Garrett:
    Vendors often ship machines with a choice of integrated or discrete
    graphics, and use the same DSDT for both. As a result, the ACPI video
    module will locate devices that may not exist on this specific platform.
    Attempt to determine whether the device exists or not, and abort the
    device creation if it doesn't.

5f2cc086cc Btrfs: Avoid unplug storms during commit
While doing a commit, btrfs makes sure all the metadata blocks
were properly written to disk, calling wait_on_page_writeback for
each page.  This writeback happens after allowing another transaction
to start, so it competes for the disk with other processes in the FS.

If the page writeback bit is still set, each wait_on_page_writeback might
trigger an unplug, even though the page might be waiting for checksumming
to finish or might be waiting for the async work queue to submit the
bio.

This trades wait_on_page_writeback for waiting on the extent writeback
bits.  It won't trigger any unplugs and substantially improves performance
in a number of workloads.

This also changes the async bio submission to avoid requeueing if there
is only one device.  The requeue just wastes CPU time because there are
no other devices to service.

af09abfece Btrfs: make sure compressed bios don't complete too soon
When writing a compressed extent, a number of bios are created that
point to a single struct compressed_bio.  At end_io time an atomic counter in
the compressed_bio struct makes sure that all of the bios have finished
before final end_io processing is done.

But when multiple bios are needed to write a compressed extent, the
counter was being incremented after the first bio was sent to submit_bio.
It is possible the bio will complete before the counter is incremented,
making the end_io handler free the compressed_bio struct before
processing is finished.

The fix is to increment the atomic counter before bio submission,
both for compressed reads and writes.

init the block group, let's eliminate the race.

d05fdf3160 xen: make sure stray alias mappings are gone before pinning
Xen requires that all mappings of pagetable pages are read-only, so
that they can't be updated illegally.  As a result, if a page is being
turned into a pagetable page, we need to make sure all its mappings
are RO.

If the page had been used for ioremap or vmalloc, it may still have
left over mappings as a result of not having been lazily unmapped.
This change makes sure we explicitly mop them all up before pinning
the page.

Unlike aliases created by kmap, the there can be vmalloc aliases even
for non-high pages, so we must do the flush unconditionally.

939a951641 [netdrvr] usb/hso: Cleanup rfkill error handling
Yup, this appears to be the problem, thanks. I think &hso_net->net->dev
is more intuitive for the error message, so I've used that. I've also
added missing line endings on the error messages and set our local
rfkill structure element to NULL on failure so we don't try to call
rfkill_unregister on driver removal if we failed to register at all.

The patch below Works For Me (TM); the device is detected fine, can be
removed without problems and connects ok. I'll have a prod at why the
rfkill stuff isn't working next, but I believe this cleanup of the error
handling is appropriate no matter what the issue with registration is.

771ed689d2 Btrfs: Optimize compressed writeback and reads
When reading compressed extents, try to put pages into the page cache
for any pages covered by the compressed extent that readpages didn't already
preload.

Add an async work queue to handle transformations at delayed allocation processing
time.  Right now this is just compression.  The workflow is:

1) Find offsets in the file marked for delayed allocation
2) Lock the pages
3) Lock the state bits
4) Call the async delalloc code

The async delalloc code clears the state lock bits and delalloc bits.  It is
important this happens before the range goes into the work queue because
otherwise it might deadlock with other work queue items that try to lock
those extent bits.

The file pages are compressed, and if the compression doesn't work the
pages are written back directly.

An ordered work queue is used to make sure the inodes are written in the same
order that pdflush or writepages sent them down.

This changes extent_write_cache_pages to let the writepage function
update the wbc nr_written count.

4a69a41009 Btrfs: Add ordered async work queues
Btrfs uses kernel threads to create async work queues for cpu intensive
operations such as checksumming and decompression.  These work well,
but they make it difficult to keep IO order intact.

A single writepages call from pdflush or fsync will turn into a number
of bios, and each bio is checksummed in parallel.  Once the checksum is
computed, the bio is sent down to the disk, and since we don't control
the order in which the parallel operations happen, they might go down to
the disk in almost any order.

The code deals with this somewhat by having deep work queues for a single
kernel thread, making it very likely that a single thread will process all
the bios for a single inode.

This patch introduces an explicitly ordered work queue.  As work structs
are placed into the queue they are put onto the tail of a list.  They have
three callbacks:

->func (cpu intensive processing here)
->ordered_func (order sensitive processing here)
->ordered_free (free the work struct, all processing is done)

The work struct has three callbacks.  The func callback does the cpu intensive
work, and when it completes the work struct is marked as done.

Every time a work struct completes, the list is checked to see if the head
is marked as done.  If so the ordered_func callback is used to do the
order sensitive processing and the ordered_free callback is used to do
any cleanup.  Then we loop back and check the head of the list again.

This patch also changes the checksumming code to use the ordered workqueues.
One a 4 drive array, it increases streaming writes from 280MB/s to 350MB/s.

afeb12b747 fujitsu-laptop: fix section mismatch warning
Could fix a bug in a hotplug add scenario.

WARNING: drivers/misc/fujitsu-laptop.o(.text+0xbde): Section mismatch in reference from the function acpi_fujitsu_add() to the variable .init.data:fujitsu_dmi_table
The function acpi_fujitsu_add() references
the variable __initdata fujitsu_dmi_table.
This is often because acpi_fujitsu_add lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of fujitsu_dmi_table is wrong.

0794469da3 ACPI: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()
This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".

To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.

We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.

We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.
