o Get rid of busy_rt_queues infrastructure. Looks like it is redundant.

o Once an RT queue gets request it will preempt any of the BE or IDLE queues
  immediately. Otherwise this queue will be put on service tree and scheduler
  will anyway select this queue before any of the BE or IDLE queue. Hence
  looks like there is no need to keep track of how many busy RT queues are
  currently on service tree.

Update scsi_io_completion() such that it only fails requests till the
next error boundary and retry the leftover.  This enables block layer
to merge requests with different failfast settings and still behave
correctly on errors.  Allow merge of requests of different failfast
settings.

As SCSI is currently the only subsystem which follows failfast status,
there's no need to worry about other block drivers for now.

Failfast has characteristics from other attributes.  When issuing,
executing and successuflly completing requests, failfast doesn't make
any difference.  It only affects how a request is handled on failure.
Allowing requests with different failfast settings to be merged cause
normal IOs to fail prematurely while not allowing has performance
penalties as failfast is used for read aheads which are likely to be
located near in-flight or to-be-issued normal IOs.

This patch introduces the concept of 'mixed merge'.  A request is a
mixed merge if it is merge of segments which require different
handling on failure.  Currently the only mixable attributes are
failfast ones (or lack thereof).

When a bio with different failfast settings is added to an existing
request or requests of different failfast settings are merged, the
merged request is marked mixed.  Each bio carries failfast settings
and the request always tracks failfast state of the first bio.  When
the request fails, blk_rq_err_bytes() can be used to determine how
many bytes can be safely failed without crossing into an area which
requires further retrials.

This allows request merging regardless of failfast settings while
keeping the failure handling correct.

This patch only implements mixed merge but doesn't enable it.  The
next one will update SCSI to make use of mixed merge.

bio and request use the same set of failfast bits.  This patch makes
the following changes to simplify things.

* enumify BIO_RW* bits and reorder bits such that BIOS_RW_FAILFAST_*
  bits coincide with __REQ_FAILFAST_* bits.

* The above pushes BIO_RW_AHEAD out of sync with __REQ_FAILFAST_DEV
  but the matching is useless anyway.  init_request_from_bio() is
  responsible for setting FAILFAST bits on FS requests and non-FS
  requests never use BIO_RW_AHEAD.  Drop the code and comment from
  blk_rq_bio_prep().

* Define REQ_FAILFAST_MASK which is OR of all FAILFAST bits and
  simplify FAILFAST flags handling in init_request_from_bio().

Commit b8313b6d ("dm log: remove incorrect
field from userspace table output") added a call to strstr() with a
single-character "needle" string parameter.

Unfortunately some versions of gcc replace such calls to strstr() by calls
to strchr() behind our back.  This causes linking errors if strchr() is
defined as an inline function in <asm/string.h> (e.g. on m68k):

| WARNING: "strchr" [drivers/md/dm-log-userspace.ko] undefined!

Avoid this by explicitly calling strchr() instead.

In fs/binfmt_elf.c, load_elf_interp() calls padzero() for .bss even if
the PT_LOAD has no PROT_WRITE and no .bss.  This generates EFAULT.

Here is a small test case.  (Yes, there are other, useful PT_INTERP
which have only .text and no .data/.bss.)

	----- ptinterp.S
	_start: .globl _start
		 nop
		 int3
	-----
	$ gcc -m32 -nostartfiles -nostdlib -o ptinterp ptinterp.S
	$ gcc -m32 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=ptinterp -o hello hello.c
	$ ./hello
	Segmentation fault  # during execve() itself

	After applying the patch:
	$ ./hello
	Trace trap  # user-mode execution after execve() finishes

If the ELF headers are actually self-inconsistent, then dying is fine.
But having no PROT_WRITE segment is perfectly normal and correct if
there is no segment with p_memsz > p_filesz (i.e. bss).  John Reiser
suggested checking for PROT_WRITE in the bss logic.  I think it makes
most sense to simply apply the bss logic only when there is bss.

This patch looks less trivial than it is due to some reindentation.
It just moves the "if (last_bss > elf_bss) {" test up to include the
partial-page bss logic as well as the more-pages bss logic.

"This seems to generate /sys/block/$device/queue and its contents for

Note that embedding a queue inside another object has always been
an illegal construct, since the queues are reference counted and
must persist until the last reference is dropped. So aoe was
always buggy in this respect (Jens).

Reinette Chatre reports a frozen system (with blinking keyboard LEDs)
when switching from graphics mode to the text console, or when
suspending (which does the same thing). With netconsole, the oops
turned out to be

	BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000084
	IP: [<ffffffffa03ecaab>] i915_driver_irq_handler+0x26b/0xd20 [i915]

and it's due to the i915_gem.c code doing drm_irq_uninstall() after
having done i915_gem_idle(). And the i915_gem_idle() path will do

  i915_gem_idle() ->
    i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer() ->
      i915_gem_cleanup_hws() ->
        dev_priv->hw_status_page = NULL;

but if an i915 interrupt comes in after this stage, it may want to
access that hw_status_page, and gets the above NULL pointer dereference.

And since the NULL pointer dereference happens from within an interrupt,
and with the screen still in graphics mode, the common end result is
simply a silently hung machine.

Fix it by simply uninstalling the irq handler before idling rather than
after. Fixes

This is stage one in flattening out the callchains for the common

own inode->i_op->permission function that just calls back down to the
VFS layers 'generic_permission()' with the per-filesystem ACL checking
function, the filesystem can just expose its 'check_acl' function
directly, and let the VFS layer do everything for it.

This is all just preparatory - no filesystem actually enables this yet.

Don't call down to the generic inode_permission() function just to

The generic inode_permission() code does things like checking MAY_WRITE

light pathname walk permission checks (we always do just MAY_EXEC, and
