o Currently all the dynamically allocated groups, except root grp is added
  to td->tg_list. This was not a problem so far but in next patch I will
  travel through td->tg_list to process any updates of limits on the group.
  If root group is not in tg_list, then root group's updates are not
  processed.

o It is better to root group also to tg_list instead of doing special
  processing for it during limit updates.

The bounce_pfn of the request queue in 64 bit systems is set to the

During long I/O operations, the hang_check timer may fire,
trigger stack dumps that unnecessarily alarm the user.

Eg.  hdparm --security-erase NULL /dev/sdb  ## can take *hours* to complete

So, if hang_check is armed, we should wake up periodically
to prevent it from triggering.  This patch uses a wake-up interval
equal to half the hang_check timer period, which keeps overhead low enough.

Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is
lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between
the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit.

Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing
small files and fsync-ing them is starved.

This patch fixes the two problems by:
- marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE
  flag set,
- force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle
  tree.

Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated
 to journal commits in the noidle tree allows:
- switching between them without idling,
- fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only
  after the noidle tree expires its slice.

When a new disk is being discovered, add_disk() first ties the bdev to gendisk
(via register_disk()->blkdev_get()) and only after that calls
bdi_register_bdev(). Because register_disk() also creates disk's kobject, it
can happen that userspace manages to open and modify the device's data (or
inode) before its BDI is properly initialized leading to a warning in
__mark_inode_dirty().

Fix the problem by registering BDI early enough.

This is the third patch in a series which adds support for
storing partition metadata, optionally, off of the hd_struct.

One major use for that data is being able to resolve partition
by other identities than just the index on a block device.  Device
enumeration varies by platform and there's a benefit to being able
to use something like EFI GPT's GUIDs to determine the correct
block device and partition to mount as the root.

This change adds that support to root= by adding support for
the following syntax:

  root=PARTUUID=hex-uuid

are against Linus's tree: 2bfc96a1

Would this patchset be suitable for inclusion in an mm branch?

This change leaves the union empty. The subsequent patch includes an

When sending DIX integrity segments with an I/O request, the
restriction for the maximum number of segments is still the same for
the zfcp hardware. Report the new sg_prot_tablesize for the SCSI host,
so that the number of integrity segments plus the number of data
segments is not larger than the hardware limit. This results in using
half of the hardware segments for integrity data and the other half
for regular data.

the GPU will be reset or the hang is permenant. In either case, the GPU
