cfq-iosched: fix queue depth detection
CFQ's detection of queueing devices assumes a non-queuing device and detects
if the queue depth reaches a certain threshold. Under some workloads (e.g.
synchronous reads), CFQ effectively forces a unit queue depth, thus defeating
the detection logic. This leads to poor performance on queuing hardware,
since the idle window remains enabled.
This patch inverts the sense of the logic: assume a queuing-capable device,
and detect if the depth does not exceed the threshold.

This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of
either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export
a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions
of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper

In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much

work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp

block: fix diskstats access
There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters. It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.
This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access). diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions. As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption. They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars. As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.
disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.
This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others. Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

virtio_blk: use a wrapper function to access io context information of IO requests
struct request has an ioprio member but it is never updated because
currently bios do not hold io context information. The implication of
this is that virtio_blk ends up passing useless information to the
backend driver.
That said, some IO schedulers such as CFQ do store io context
information in struct request, but use private members for that, which
means that that information cannot be directly accessed in a IO
scheduler-independent way.
This patch adds a function to obtain the ioprio of a request. We should
avoid accessing ioprio directly and use this function instead, so that
its users do not have to care about future changes in block layer
structures or what the currently active IO controller is.
This patch does not introduce any functional changes but paves the way
for future clean-ups and enhancements.

multiple bios if appropriate. Neither does the function wait for

SG_IO block filter whitelist missing MMC SET READ AHEAD command
I have another request for the block filter SG_IO command whitelist,
specifically the MMC streaming command set SET READ AHEAD command.
The command applies only to MMC CDROM/DVDROM drives with the streaming
optional feature set. The command is useful to cdparanoia in that it
allows explicit cache control side effects that are, on many drives,
cdparanoia's most efficient way to flush/disable the media cache on
cdrom drives. I am aware of no reason why it should not be accessible
from usespace.
Also note that the command is already fully accessible through the
SCSI-native version of the SG_IO ioctl as well as the traditional SG
interface. The command is only being refused on block devices. That
means that on a typical stock distro, the command is available through
/dev/sg* but not /dev/scd* although both are typically available and
accessible. Filtering the command is not providing any protection,
only a confusing inconsistency.

The problem is really quite silly. We were trying to create
parallelism where none was required. As netdev_run_todo always
follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added

net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP
Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN
device down that is in promiscous mode:
When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real
device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the
promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous
count on the real device is decremented a second time by the
vlan_change_rx_flags() callback.
The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is
invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror
the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function
is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is
responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags()
is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP.
Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the
intended behaviour.

end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector

It turns out that this might be caused by the BLKR register (which
contains the block size and the number of blocks being transfered) being
initialized too late. This patch moves the initialization of BLKR so
that it contains the correct value before the block transfer command is
sent.
This error is difficult to reproduce, but if you insert a long delay

and atmci_submit_data(), all transfers seem to fail without this patch,
while I haven't seen any failures with this patch.

kgdb, x86: Avoid invoking kgdb_nmicallback twice per NMI
Stress-testing KVM's latest NMI support with kgdbts inside an SMP guest,
I came across spurious unhandled NMIs while running the singlestep test.
Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I
noticed that kgdb_nmicallback is called twice per event: One time via
DIE_NMI_IPI notification, the second time on DIE_NMI. Removing the first
invocation cures the unhandled NMIs here.

x86 ACPI: Blacklist two HP machines with buggy BIOSes
There is a bug in the BIOSes of some HP boxes with AMD Turions which
connects IO-APIC pins with ACPI thermal trip points in such a way that
if the state of the IO-APIC is not as expected by the (buggy) BIOS, the
thermal trip points are set to insanely low values (usually all of them
become 16 degrees Celsius). As a result, thermal throttling kicks in
and knock the system down to its shoes.
Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up.
To prevent this from happening, blacklist machines that are known to be
affected (nx6115 and 6715b in this particular case).
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516 listed as
a regression from 2.6.26.
On my box it was caused by:

Matthew Garrett told us about that happening on the nx6125:

nx6325:

121401068718826&w=4
As far as the Dmitry's and Jason's boxes are concerned, I recognized the
symptoms and asked them to verify that the blacklisting helped.
It appears that the buggy BIOS code has been copy-pasted to the entire
range of machines, for no good reason.

to "split" the PRD for TRM290.

512 bytes and ATAPI DMA not being used for non block I/O commands...
