IB: Remove sysfs files before unregistering device
Move the ib_device_unregister_sysfs() call from ib_dealloc_device() to

userspace can open a file before a device is removed but then end up

generic-ipi: remove kmalloc()
Remove the use of kmalloc() from the smp_call_function_*()
calls.
Steven's generic-ipi patch (d7240b98: generic-ipi: use per cpu
data for single cpu ipi calls) started the discussion on the use
of kmalloc() in this code and fixed the
smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) fallback case.
In this patch we complete this by also providing means for the
_many() call, which fully removes the need for kmalloc() in this
code.
The problem with the _many() call is that other cpus might still
be observing our entry when we're done with it. It solved this
by dynamically allocating data elements and RCU-freeing it.
We solve it by using a single per-cpu entry which provides
static storage and solves one half of the problem (avoiding
referencing freed data).
The other half, ensuring the queue iteration it still possible,
is done by placing re-used entries at the head of the list. This
means that if someone was still iterating that entry when it got
moved, he will now re-visit the entries on the list he had
already seen, but avoids skipping over entries like would have
happened had we placed the new entry at the end.
Furthermore, visiting entries twice is not a problem, since we
remove our cpu from the entry's cpumask once its called.

my earlier attempts.

Now that several per-cpu files can be read or spliced at the
same, we want the read/splice callbacks for tracing files to be
reentrants.
Until now, a single global mutex (trace_types_lock) serialized
the access to tracing_read_pipe(), tracing_splice_read_pipe(),
and the seq helpers.
Ie: it means that if a user tries to read trace_pipe0 and
trace_pipe1 at the same time, the access to the function
tracing_read_pipe() is contended and one reader must wait for
the other to finish its read call.
The trace_type_lock mutex is mostly here to serialize the access
to the global current tracer (current_trace), which can be
changed concurrently. Although the iter struct keeps a private
pointer to this tracer, its callbacks can be changed by another
function.
The method used here is to not keep anymore private reference to
the tracer inside the iterator but to make a copy of it inside
the iterator. Then it checks on subsequents read calls if the
tracer has changed. This is not costly because the current
tracer is not expected to be changed often, so we use a branch
prediction for that.
Moreover, we add a private mutex to the iterator (there is one
iterator per file descriptor) to serialize the accesses in case
of multiple consumers per file descriptor (which would be a
silly idea from the user). Note that this is not to protect the
ring buffer, since the ring buffer already serializes the
readers accesses. This is to prevent from traces weirdness in
case of concurrent consumers. But these mutexes can be dropped
anyway, that would not result in any crash. Just tell me what
you think about it.

Currently, on the tracing debugfs directory, three files are
available to the user to let him extracting the trace output:
- trace is an iterator through the ring-buffer. It's a reader
but not a consumer It doesn't block when no more traces are
available.
- trace pretty similar to the former, except that it adds more
informations such as prempt count, irq flag, ...
- trace_pipe is a reader and a consumer, it will also block
waiting for traces if necessary (heh, yes it's a pipe).
The traces coming from different cpus are curretly mixed up
inside these files. Sometimes it messes up the informations,
sometimes it's useful, depending on what does the tracer
capture.
The tracing_cpumask file is useful to filter the output and
select only the traces captured a custom defined set of cpus.
But still it is not enough powerful to extract at the same time
one trace buffer per cpu.
So this patch creates a new directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu/.
Inside this directory, you will now find one trace_pipe file and
one trace file per cpu.
Which means if you have two cpus, you will have:
trace0
trace1
trace_pipe0
trace_pipe1
And of course, reading these files will have the same effect
than with the usual tracing files, except that you will only see
the traces from the given cpu.
The original all-in-one cpu trace file are still available on
their original place.
Until now, only one consumer was allowed on trace_pipe to avoid
racy consuming on the ring-buffer. Now the approach changed a
bit, you can have only one consumer per cpu.
Which means you are allowed to read concurrently trace_pipe0 and
trace_pipe1 But you can't have two readers on trace_pipe0 or
trace_pipe1.
Following the same logic, if there is one reader on the common
trace_pipe, you can not have at the same time another reader on
trace_pipe0 or in trace_pipe1. Because in trace_pipe is already
a consumer in all cpu buffers in essence.

generic IPI: simplify barriers and locking
Simplify the barriers in generic remote function call interrupt
code.
Firstly, just unconditionally take the lock and check the list
in the generic_call_function_single_interrupt IPI handler. As
we've just taken an IPI here, the chances are fairly high that
there will be work on the list for us, so do the locking
unconditionally. This removes the tricky lockless list_empty
check and dubious barriers. The change looks bigger than it is
because it is just removing an outer loop.
Secondly, clarify architecture specific IPI locking rules.
Generic code has no tools to impose any sane ordering on IPIs if
they go outside normal cache coherency, ergo the arch code must
make them appear to obey cache coherency as a "memory operation"
to initiate an IPI, and a "memory operation" to receive one.
This way at least they can be reasoned about in generic code,
and smp_mb used to provide ordering.
The combination of these two changes means that explict barriers
can be taken out of queue handling for the single case -- shared
data is explicitly locked, and ipi ordering must conform to
that, so no barriers needed. An extra barrier is needed in the
many handler, so as to ensure we load the list element after the
IPI is received.
Does any architecture actually *need* these barriers? For the
initiator I could see it, but for the handler I would be
surprised. So the other thing we could do for simplicity is just
to require that, rather than just matching with cache coherency,
we just require a full barrier before generating an IPI, and
after receiving an IPI. In which case, the smp_mb()s can go
away. But just for now, we'll be on the safe side and use the
barriers (they're in the slow case anyway).

This patch changes the return value of nlmsg_notify() as follows:
If NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR is set by any of the listeners and
an error in the delivery happened, return the broadcast error;
else if there are no listeners apart from the socket that

This patch is useful in case that the caller of nlmsg_notify()
wants to know the result of the delivery of a netlink notification
(including the broadcast delivery) and take any action in case
that the delivery failed. For example, ctnetlink can drop packets
if the event delivery failed to provide reliable logging and
state-synchronization at the cost of dropping packets.

value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.

mv643xx_eth: set sane default receive coalescing timeout
A receive coalescing timeout of 250 usec appears to strike a good
balance between allowing enough received frames to be aggregated for
LRO to do its job and not allowing the connection to stall due to
delaying ACKs to the remote end for too long.

mv643xx_eth: move a couple of init actions from ->open() to port probe
Move the netif_carrier_off() call in ->open() to port probe, so that
ethtool doesn't report the link as being up before we have up'd the
interface.
Move initialisation of the rx/tx coalescing timers from ->open() to
port probe, so that we don't reset the coalescing timers every time
the interface is up'd.

slub: rename calculate_min_partial() to set_min_partial()
As suggested by Christoph Lameter, rename calculate_min_partial() to
set_min_partial() as the function doesn't really do any calculations.

[ARM] orion5x: ts78xx make more bulletproof the RTC load/unload code
Added checks to the platform_device_(register|add) calls so that if
a device failed to load it would then not later be unloaded; also
added the hooks so that it would not try to unload when the RTC
driver support is compiled out.

drm/i915: make hw page ioremap use ioremap_wc
However we still have another issue with ioremap_wc not falling back
properly or somehow doing something else stupid, this probably needs
to be tracked down.
