The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the
request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector
and inbuf id.  The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last
sg is the status byte.  Whether the N entries are in or out depends on
whether it's a read or a write.

We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other
side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported.  It's
not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know
if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir().

Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd,
CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace.  This needs a separate
patch.

The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce

The floppy drive is slow.  These days I see absolutely no good reason why the
floppy driver should try to gain a tiny bit of speed by telling gcc to
optimize access to some variables via the register keyword.  Better to just
leave gcc free to do whatever optimizations it deduces to be sane and not
hamper it by telling it that some variables in the floppy driver are special
and need to be fast (they don't).

This fixes a problem with the way cciss was filling out the "errors" field
of the request structure upon completion of requests.  Previously, it just
put a 1 or a 0 in there and used the negation of this as the uptodate
parameter to one of the functions in the block layer, being a block device.
 For the SG_IO ioctl, this was not sufficient, and we noticed that, for
example, sg_turs from sg3_utils did not correctly detect problems due to
cciss having set rq->errors incorrectly.

Allow NBD I/O to be cancelled when a network outage occurs.  Previously, I/O
would just hang, and if enough I/O was hung in nbd, the system (at least
user-level) would completely hang until a TCP timeout (default, 15 minutes)
occurred.

The patch introduces a new ioctl NBD_SET_TIMEOUT that allows a transmit
timeout value (in seconds) to be specified.  Any network send that exceeds the
timeout will be cancelled and the nbd connection will be shut down.  I've
tested with various timeout values and 6 seconds seems to be a good choice for
the timeout.  If the NBD_SET_TIMEOUT ioctl is not called, you get the old (I/O
hang) behavior.

   Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
   /dev/nbd0: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 0: Input/output error

New scatter/gather list chaining [sg_next()] treats 'page' member of
struct scatterlist with low bit set [0x01] as a chain pointer to
another struct scatterlist [array].  The CCISS driver request function
passes an uninitialized, temporary, on-stack scatterlist array to
blk_rq_map_sq().  sg_next() interprets random data on the stack as a
chain pointer and eventually tries to de-reference an invalid pointer,
resulting in:

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.
