Pull voluntary preemption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree contains a speedup which is achieved through better
  might_sleep()/might_fault() preemption point annotations for uaccess
  functions, by Michael S Tsirkin:

  1. The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault.
     Make this explicit for all architectures.

  2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
     can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
     are very fast and small that e.g.  net code seems to make.  Remove
     this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
     assume.

  3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS
     like net/sunrpc does will never sleep.  Remove an unconditinal
     might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
     PROVE_LOCKING is not set).

  4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
     caller to sleep.  Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
     PROVE_LOCKING is set.

  These changes offer a nice speedup for CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
  kernels, here's a network bandwidth measurement between a virtual
  machine and the host:

   before:
        incoming: 7122.77   Mb/s
        outgoing: 8480.37   Mb/s

   after:
        incoming: 8619.24   Mb/s   [ +21.0% ]

Pull WW mutex support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds support for wound/wait style locks, which the graphics
  guys would like to make use of in the TTM graphics subsystem.

  Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a
  similar type can be done in an arbitrary order.  The deadlock handling
  used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older
  tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock.  The younger
  tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently
  holding, ie the younger task is wounded.

  See this LWN.net description of W/W mutexes:

     https://lwn.net/Articles/548909/

  have already been implemented for the DRM tree).

Pull ARM SoC driver specific changes from Arnd Bergmann:
 "These changes are all driver specific and cross over between arm-soc
  contents and some other subsystem, in these cases cpufreq, crypto,
  dma, pinctrl, mailbox and usb, and the subsystem owners agreed to have
  these changes merged through arm-soc.

  As we proceed to untangle the dependencies between platform code and
  driver code, the amount of changes in this category is fortunately
  shrinking, for 3.11 we have 16 branches here and 101 non-merge
  changesets, the majority of which are for the stedma40 dma engine
  driver used in the ux500 platform.  Cleaning up that code touches
  multiple subsystems, but gets rid of the dependency in the end.

  The mailbox code moved out from mach-omap2 to drivers/mailbox is an
  intermediate step and is still omap specific at the moment.  Patches
  exist to generalize the subsystem and add other drivers with the same
  API, but those did not make it for 3.11."

  Since the shmobile platform still uses board files for some of the

Pull ARM SoC specific changes from Arnd Bergmann:
 "These changes are all to SoC-specific code, a total of 33 branches on
  17 platforms were pulled into this.  Like last time, Renesas sh-mobile
  is now the platform with the most changes, followed by OMAP and
  EXYNOS.

  Two new platforms, TI Keystone and Rockchips RK3xxx are added in this
  branch, both containing almost no platform specific code at all, since
  they are using generic subsystem interfaces for clocks, pinctrl,
  interrupts etc.  The device drivers are getting merged through the
  respective subsystem maintainer trees.

  One more SoC (u300) is now multiplatform capable and several others
  (shmobile, exynos, msm, integrator, kirkwood, clps711x) are moving
  towards that goal with this series but need more work.

  Also noteworthy is the work on PCI here, which is traditionally part
  of the SoC specific code.  With the changes done by Thomas Petazzoni,
  we can now more easily have PCI host controller drivers as loadable
  modules and keep them separate from the platform code in
  drivers/pci/host.  This has already led to the discovery that three
  platforms (exynos, spear and imx) are actually using an identical PCIe
  host controller and will be able to share a driver once support for
  spear and imx is added."

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This contains cleanups as preparation for other branches adding new
  features, we pulled 16 branches for 9 platforms into this one.

  Most notable here is the removal of support for ATAGS based OMAP4
  systems.  Since all OMAP4 machines are fully functional with DT based
  booting in 3.10, we can remove a lot of code here.

  Also noteworthy is Maxime Ripard's cleanup of the machine descriptors,
  which means we need no machine descriptors in a lot more cases and can
  boot additional machines by just having the respective device drivers
  enabled."

Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
 "Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations.  In the bug fixes
  category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
  block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
  on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
  ia64 systems.)

  In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
  significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
  file systems.  In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
  write submission code path.  We also improved error checking and added
  a few sanity checks.

  In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
  mention.  The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
  nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode.  This allows writes to be
  submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
  being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
  relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
  queue).  Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
  introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
  i_es_lru spinlock.  Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
  CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."

When sync does it's WB_SYNC_ALL writeback, it issues data Io and
then immediately waits for IO completion. This is done in the
context of the flusher thread, and hence completely ties up the
flusher thread for the backing device until all the dirty inodes
have been synced. On filesystems that are dirtying inodes constantly
and quickly, this means the flusher thread can be tied up for
minutes per sync call and hence badly affect system level write IO
performance as the page cache cannot be cleaned quickly.

We already have a wait loop for IO completion for sync(2), so cut
this out of the flusher thread and delegate it to wait_sb_inodes().
Hence we can do rapid IO submission, and then wait for it all to
complete.

And a single sync pass took:

  real    0m52.407s
  user    0m0.000s
  sys     0m0.090s

After the patch, there is no impact on fsmark results, and each
individual sync(2) operation run concurrently with the same fsmark
workload takes roughly 7s:

  real    0m6.930s
  user    0m0.000s
  sys     0m0.039s

IOWs, sync is 7-8x faster on a busy filesystem and does not have an
adverse impact on ongoing async data write operations.

If user requests many data writes and fsync together, the last updated i_size
should be stored to the inode block consistently.

But, previous write_end just marks the inode as dirty and doesn't update its
metadata into its inode block.
After that, fsync just writes the inode block with newly updated data index
excluding inode metadata updates.

So, this patch introduces write_end in which updates inode block too when the
i_size is changed.

This patch removes check_prefree_segments initially designed to enhance the
performance by narrowing the range of LBA usage across the whole block device.

When allocating a new segment, previous f2fs tries to find proper prefree
segments, and then, if finds a segment, it reuses the segment for further
data or node block allocation.

However, I found that this was totally wrong approach since the prefree segments
have several data or node blocks that will be used by the roll-forward mechanism
operated after sudden-power-off.

Let's assume the following scenario.

/* write 8MB with fsync */
for (i = 0; i < 2048; i++) {
	offset = i * 4096;
	write(fd, offset, 4KB);
	fsync(fd);
}

In this case, naive segment allocation sequence will be like:
 data segment: x, x+1, x+2, x+3
 node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3.

But, if we can reuse prefree segments, the sequence can be like:
 data segment: x, x+1, y, y+1
 node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3.
Because, y, y+1, and y+2 became prefree segments one by one, and those are
reused by data allocation.

After conducting this workload, we should consider how to recover the latest
inode with its data.
If we reuse the prefree segments such as y or y+1, we lost the old node blocks
so that f2fs even cannot start roll-forward recovery.

Therefore, I suggest that we should remove reusing prefree segments.

Optimize the while loop condition

Since this condition will always be true and while loop will
be terminated by the following condition in code:

if (segno >= TOTAL_SEGS(sbi))
    break;
Hence we can replace the while loop condition with while(1)
instead of always checking for segno to be less than Total segs.

Also we do not need to use TOTAL_SEGS() everytime. We can store
this value in a local variable since this value is constant.

While calculating CRC for the checkpoint block, we use __u32, but when storing
the crc value to the disk, we use __le32.

Let's fix the inconsistency.
