fed4c2508b Bluetooth: Fix miscdev ops owner for virtual driver
The /dev/vhci ops don't refer to the module and so it is possible to
unload the module while the file descriptor is in use. This was an
accidental removal after the cleanup.

c04645e592 blkio: Wait on sync-noidle queue even if rq_noidle = 1
o rq_noidle() is supposed to tell cfq that do not expect a request after this
  one, hence don't idle. But this does not seem to work very well. For example
  for direct random readers, rq_noidle = 1 but there is next request coming
  after this. Not idling, leads to a group not getting its share even if
  group_isolation=1.

o The right solution for this issue is to scan the higher layers and set
  right flag (WRITE_SYNC or WRITE_ODIRECT). For the time being, this single
  line fix helps. This should not have any significant impact when we are
  not using cgroups. I will later figure out IO paths in higher layer and
  fix it.

ae30c28655 blkio: Implement group_isolation tunable
o If a group is running only a random reader, then it will not have enough
  traffic to keep disk busy and we will reduce overall throughput. This
  should result in better latencies for random reader though. If we don't
  idle on random reader service tree, then this random reader will experience
  large latencies if there are other groups present in system with sequential
  readers running in these.

o One solution suggested by corrado is that by default keep the random readers
  or sync-noidle workload in root group so that during one dispatch round
  we idle only once on sync-noidle tree. This means that all the sync-idle
  workload queues will be in their respective group and we will see service
  differentiation in those but not on sync-noidle workload.

o Provide a tunable group_isolation. If set, this will make sure that even
  sync-noidle queues go in their respective group and we wait on these. This
  provides stronger isolation between groups but at the expense of throughput
  if group does not have enough traffic to keep the disk busy.

o By default group_isolation = 0

f26bd1f0a3 blkio: Determine async workload length based on total number of queues
o Async queues are not per group. Instead these are system wide and maintained
  in root group. Hence their workload slice length should be calculated
  based on total number of queues in the system and not just queues in the
  root group.

o As root group's default weight is 1000, make sure to charge async queue
  more in terms of vtime so that it does not get more time on disk because
  root group has higher weight.

  associated group will also get deleted from service tree if this was the

When primary AC97 is not found, don't fail with tons of AC97 errors.

        if (tea575x_tuner > 0 && (tea575x_tuner & 0x000f) < 4) {
when tea575x_tuner == 16, it passes this check and causes problems
a couple lines below:
        chip->tea.ops = &snd_fm801_tea_ops[(tea575x_tuner & 0x000f) - 1];

a2934c7b36 cifs: NULL out tcon, pSesInfo, and srvTcp pointers when chasing DFS referrals
The scenario is this:

The kernel gets EREMOTE and starts chasing a DFS referral at mount time.
The tcon reference is put, which puts the session reference too, but
neither pointer is zeroed out.

The mount gets retried (goto try_mount_again) with new mount info.
Session setup fails fails and rc ends up being non-zero. The code then
falls through to the end and tries to put the previously freed tcon
pointer again.  Oops at: cifs_put_smb_ses+0x14/0xd0

Fix this by moving the initialization of the rc variable and the tcon,
pSesInfo and srvTcp pointers below the try_mount_again label. Also, add
a FreeXid() before the goto to prevent xid "leaks".

d18cc1fda2 NFSv4: Fix a potential state manager deadlock when returning delegations
The nfsv4 state manager could potentially deadlock inside
__nfs_inode_return_delegation() if the server reboots, so that the calls to
nfs_msync_inode() end up waiting on state recovery to complete.

Also ensure that if a server reboot or network partition causes us to have
to stop returning delegations, that NFS4CLNT_DELEGRETURN is set so that
the state manager can resume any outstanding delegation returns after it
has dealt with the state recovery situation.

Finally, ensure that the state manager doesn't wait for the DELEGRETURN
call to complete. It doesn't need to, and that too can cause a deadlock.

hlist_del_rcu(&cred->cr_hash) a second time in put_rpccred, thus causing
list corruption.

Should the credential actually be hashed, it is also possible for
rpcauth_lookup_credcache to find and reference it before we get round to
unhashing it. In this case, the call to rpcauth_unhash_cred will fail, and
so we should just exit without destroying the cred.

gfs2_glock_hold() on a lock with a zero ref count.

Secondly, by using atomic_dec_and_lock() in gfs2_glock_put()
we ensure that at no time will a glock with zero ref count
appear on the lru_list. That means that we can remove the
check for this in our shrinker (which was racy).

9ae3c6de69 GFS2: drop rindex glock to refresh rindex list
When a gfs2 filesystem is grown, it needs to rebuild the rindex list to be able
to use the new space.  gfs2 does this when the rindex is marked not uptodate,
which happens when the rindex glock is dropped.  However, on a single node
setup, there is never any reason to drop the rindex glock, so gfs2 never
invalidates the the rindex. This patch makes gfs2 automatically drop the
rindex glock after filesystem grows, so it can refresh the rindex list.

0ab7d13fcb GFS2: Tag all metadata with jid
There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2
metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id
in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each
time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal
id of the node which is performing the modification.

The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to
debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the
last to modify a particular metadata block.

Since the field is updated before the block is written into
the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which
is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this
is the journal header block, which might have a different node's
id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the
cluster.

Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered
it, via the journal header.

The other field in the metadata header could potentially be
used to hold information about what kind of operation was
performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each
transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll
know that the information (where it exists) is reliable.

I did consider using the other field to hold the journal
sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write
the modified data into the journal and not the original
data, this gives no information as to what action caused the
modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better
use for those 64 bits in the future.
