84427eaef1 remove task_ppid_nr_ns
task_ppid_nr_ns is called in three places.  One of these should never
have called it.  In the other two, using it broke the existing
semantics.  This was presumably accidental.  If the function had not
been there, it would have been much more obvious to the eye that those
patches were changing the behavior.  We don't need this function.

In task_state, the pid of the ptracer is not the ppid of the ptracer.

In do_task_stat, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.
I also moved the call outside of lock_task_sighand, since it doesn't
need it.

In sys_getppid, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.

11c3e689f1 [SCSI] block: Introduce new blk_queue_update_dma_alignment interface
The purpose of this is to allow stacked alignment settings, with the
ultimate queue alignment being set to the largest alignment requirement
in the stack.

The reason for this is so that the SCSI mid-layer can relax the default
alignment requirements (which are basically causing a lot of superfluous
copying to go on in the SG_IO interface) while allowing transports,
devices or HBAs to add stricter limits if they need them.

32e8ae36b8 [SCSI] libsas: don't use made up error codes
This is bad for two reasons:

     1. If they're returned to outside applications, no-one knows what
        they mean.
     2. Eventually they'll clash with the ever expanding standard error
        codes.

The problem error code in question is ETASK.  I've replaced this by
ECOMM (communications error on send) a network error code that seems to
most closely relay what ETASK meant.

2697478903 [SCSI] libiscsi: fix shutdown
We were using the device delete sysfs file to remove each device
then logout. Now in 2.6.21 this will not work because
the sysfs delete file returns immediately and does not wait for
the device removal to complete. This causes a hang if a cache sync
is needed during shutdown. Before .21, that approach had other
problems, so this patch fixes the shutdown code so that we remove the target
and unbind the session before logging out and shut down the session

6320377fd9 [SCSI] libiscsi, iscsi_tcp: iscsi pool cleanup
iscsi_pool_init simplified

iscsi_pool_init currently has a lot of duplicate kfree() calls it does
when some allocation fails. This patch simplifies the code a little by
using iscsi_pool_free to tear down the pool in case of an error.

iscsi_pool_init also returns a copy of the item array to the caller.
Not all callers use this array, so we make it optional.

Instead of allocating a second array and return that, allocate just one
array, of twice the size.

Update users of iscsi_pool_{init,free}

This patch drops the (now useless) second argument to
iscsi_pool_free, and updates all callers.

It also removes the ctask->r2ts array, which was never
used anyway. Since the items argument to iscsi_pool_init
is now optional, we can pass NULL instead.

004d6530f8 [SCSI] iscsi_tcp, libiscsi: initial AHS Support
at libiscsi generic code
  - currently code assumes a storage space of pdu header is allocated
    at llds ctask and is pointed to by iscsi_cmd_task->hdr. Here I add
    a hdr_max field pertaining to that storage, and an hdr_len that
    accumulates the current use of the pdu-header.

  - Add an iscsi_next_hdr() inline which returns the next free space
    to write new Header at. Also iscsi_next_hdr() is used to retrieve
    the address at which to write the header-digest.

  - Add iscsi_add_hdr(length). What the user do is calls iscsi_next_hdr()
    for address of the new header, than calls iscsi_add_hdr(length) with
    the size of the new header. iscsi_add_hdr() will check if space is
    available and update to the new size. length must be padded according
    to standard.

  - Add 2 padding inline helpers thanks to Olaf. Current patch does not
    use them but Following patches will.
    Also moved definition of ISCSI_PAD_LEN to iscsi_proto.h which had
    PAD_WORD_LEN that was never used anywhere.

  - Let iscsi_prep_scsi_cmd_pdu() signal an Error return since now  it is
    possible that it will fail.

  - I was tired of yet again writing a "this is a digest" comment next to
    sizeof(__u32) so I defined a new ISCSI_DIGEST_SIZE. Now I don't need
    any comments. Changed all places that used sizeof(__u32) or "4" in
    connection to a digest.

  iscsi_tcp specific code
  - At struct iscsi_tcp_cmd_task allocate maximum space allowed in
    standard for all headers following the iscsi_cmd header. and mark
    it so in iscsi_tcp_session_create()
  - At iscsi_send_cmd_hdr() retrieve the correct headers size and
    write header digest at iscsi_next_hdr().

25d7c363f2 [SCSI] move single_lun flag from scsi_device to scsi_target
Some SCSI tape medium changers that need the BLIST_SINGLELUN flag have
the medium changer at one LUN and the tape drive at a different LUN.
The inquiry string of the tape drive may be different from that of the
medium changer.  In order for single_lun to be effective, every
scsi_device under a given scsi_target must have it set.  This means that
there needs to be a blacklist entry for BOTH the medium changer AND the
tape drive, which is impractical because some medium changers may be
paired with a variety of different tape drive models.  It makes more
sense to put the single_lun flag in scsi_target instead of scsi_device,
which causes every device at a given target ID to inherit the single_lun
flag from one LUN.  This makes it possible to blacklist just the medium
changer and not the tape drive.

9f9adecd2d PM: ACPI and APM must not be enabled at the same time
ACPI and APM used "pm_active" to guarantee that
they would not be simultaneously active.

But pm_active was recently moved under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY,
so that without CONFIG_PM_LEGACY, pm_active became a NOP --
allowing ACPI and APM to both be simultaneously enabled.
This caused unpredictable results, including boot hangs.

Further, the code under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY is scheduled
for removal.

So replace pm_active with pm_flags.
pm_flags depends only on CONFIG_PM,
which is present for both CONFIG_APM and CONFIG_ACPI.

743edf5727 [CRYPTO] aead: Add givcrypt operations
This patch adds the underlying givcrypt operations for aead and associated
support elements.  The rationale is identical to that of the skcipher
givcrypt operations, i.e., sometimes only the algorithm knows how the
IV should be generated.

A new request type aead_givcrypt_request is added which contains an
embedded aead_request structure with two new elements to support this
operation.  The new elements are seq and giv.  The seq field should
contain a strictly increasing 64-bit integer which may be used by
certain IV generators as an input value.  The giv field will be used
to store the generated IV.  It does not need to obey the alignment
requirements of the algorithm because it's not used during the operation.

The existing iv field must still be available as it will be used to store
intermediate IVs and the output IV if chaining is desired.

ecfc43292f [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add skcipher_geniv_alloc/skcipher_geniv_free
This patch creates the infrastructure to help the construction of givcipher
templates that wrap around existing blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithms by adding
an IV generator to them.

23508e11ab [CRYPTO] skcipher: Added geniv field
This patch introduces the geniv field which indicates the default IV
generator for each algorithm.  It should point to a string that is not
freed as long as the algorithm is registered.

61da88e2b8 [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add givcrypt operations and givcipher type
Different block cipher modes have different requirements for intialisation
vectors.  For example, CBC can use a simple randomly generated IV while
modes such as CTR must use an IV generation mechanisms that give a stronger
guarantee on the lack of collisions.  Furthermore, disk encryption modes
have their own IV generation algorithms.

Up until now IV generation has been left to the users of the symmetric
key cipher API.  This is inconvenient as the number of block cipher modes
increase because the user needs to be aware of which mode is supposed to
be paired with which IV generation algorithm.

Therefore it makes sense to integrate the IV generation into the crypto
API.  This patch takes the first step in that direction by creating two
new ablkcipher operations, givencrypt and givdecrypt that generates an
IV before performing the actual encryption or decryption.

The operations are currently not exposed to the user.  That will be done
once the underlying functionality has actually been implemented.

It also creates the underlying givcipher type.  Algorithms that directly
generate IVs would use it instead of ablkcipher.  All other algorithms
(including all existing ones) would generate a givcipher algorithm upon
registration.  This givcipher algorithm will be constructed from the geniv
string that's stored in every algorithm.  That string will locate a template
which is instantiated by the blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithm in question to
give a givcipher algorithm.

378f4f51f9 [CRYPTO] skcipher: Add crypto_grab_skcipher interface
Note: From now on the collective of ablkcipher/blkcipher/givcipher will
be known as skcipher, i.e., symmetric key cipher.  The name blkcipher has
always been much of a misnomer since it supports stream ciphers too.

This patch adds the function crypto_grab_skcipher as a new way of getting
an ablkcipher spawn.  The problem is that previously we did this in two
steps, first getting the algorithm and then calling crypto_init_spawn.

This meant that each spawn user had to be aware of what type and mask to
use for these two steps.  This is difficult and also presents a problem
when the type/mask changes as they're about to be for IV generators.

The new interface does both steps together just like crypto_alloc_ablkcipher.

As a side-effect this also allows us to be stronger on type enforcement
for spawns.  For now this is only done for ablkcipher but it's trivial
to extend for other types.

This patch also moves the type/mask logic for skcipher into the helpers
crypto_skcipher_type and crypto_skcipher_mask.

Finally this patch introduces the function crypto_require_sync to determine
whether the user is specifically requesting a sync algorithm.

5311f248b7 [CRYPTO] ctr: Refactor into ctr and rfc3686
As discussed previously, this patch moves the basic CTR functionality
into a chainable algorithm called ctr.  The IPsec-specific variant of
it is now placed on top with the name rfc3686.

So ctr(aes) gives a chainable cipher with IV size 16 while the IPsec
variant will be called rfc3686(ctr(aes)).  This patch also adjusts
gcm accordingly.

68b6c7d691 [CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_attr_alg_name
This patch adds a new helper crypto_attr_alg_name which is basically the
first half of crypto_attr_alg.  That is, it returns an algorithm name
parameter as a string without looking it up.  The caller can then look it
up immediately or defer it until later.

551a09a7a9 [CRYPTO] api: Sanitise mask when allocating ablkcipher/hash
When allocating ablkcipher/hash objects, we use a mask that's wider than
the usual type mask.  This patch sanitises the mask supplied by the user
so we don't end up using a narrower mask which may lead to unintended
results.
