The manual driver <-> device binding attribute in sysfs doesn't return
the correct value on failure or success of driver_probe_device.
driver_probe_device returns 1 on success (the driver accepted the
device) or 0 on probe failure (when the driver didn't accept the
device but no real error occured). However, the attribute can't just
return 0 or 1, it must return the number of bytes consumed from buf
or an error value. Returning 0 indicates to userspace that nothing
was written (even though the kernel has tried to do the bind/probe and
failed). Returning 1 indicates that only one character was accepted in
which case userspace will re-try the write with a partial string.

A more correct version of driver_bind would return count (to indicate
the entire string was consumed) when driver_probe_device returns 1
and -ENODEV when driver_probe_device returns 0. This patch makes that
change.

[BLOCK] delay all uevents until partition table is scanned

Here we delay the annoucement of all block device events until the
disk's partition table is scanned and all partition devices are already
created and sysfs is populated.

We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we
probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the
same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition
devices.
Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not
at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed
events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when
we find already present partitions.

This patch (as667) changes the __device_release_driver() routine to
prevent it from crashing when it runs across a device not on any bus.
This seems logical, inasmuch as the corresponding bus_add_device()
routine has an explicit check allowing it to accept such devices.

It works like this:
  Open the file
  Read all the contents.
  Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
  When poll returns,
     close the file and go to top of loop.
   or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.

Events are signaled by an object manager calling
   sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);

If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).

This has a cost of one int  per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
one int per open file.

The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
functionality.  Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
attributes as well?

This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action
to be pollable

This is two distinct changes.
 - Not changing our real parents.
 - Not changing our ptrace parents.

Not changing our real parents is trivially correct because both tasks
have the same real parents as they are part of a thread group.  Now that
we demote the leader to a thread there is no longer any reason to change
it's parentage.

Not changing our ptrace parents is a user visible change if someone
looks hard enough.  I don't think user space applications will care or
even notice.

In the practical and I think common case a debugger will have attached
to all of the threads using the same ptrace flags.  From my quick skim
of strace and gdb that appears to be the case.  Which if true means
debuggers will not notice a change.

Before this point we have already generated a ptrace event in do_exit
that reports the leaders pid has died so de_thread is visible to a
debugger.  Which means attempting to hide this case by copying flags
around appears excessive.

By not doing anything it avoids all of the weird locking issues between
de_thread and ptrace attach, and removes one case from consideration for
fixing the ptrace locking.

This only addresses Oleg's first concern with ptrace_attach, that of the
problems caused by reparenting.  Oleg's second concern is essentially a
race between ptrace_attach and release_task that causes an oops when we
get to force_sig_specific.  There is nothing special about de_thread
with respect to that race.

This patch modifies ia64's show_mem() to walk the vmem_map page tables and

This prevents the pfn_valid() check from causing numerous unnecessary

By calling send_sig do_SAK is recursively taking the

In addition I just audited the kernel and this was the only

The driver allocates SRQ WQEs size with a power of 2 size both for
Tavor and for memfree. For Tavor, however, the hardware only requires
the WQE size to be a multiple of 16, not a power of 2, and the max
number of scatter-gather allowed is reported accordingly by the
firmware (and this is the value currently returned by
ib_query_device() and ibv_query_device()).

If the max number of scatter/gather entries reported by the FW is used
when creating an SRQ, the creation will fail for Tavor, since the
required WQE size will be increased to the next power of 2, which
turns out to be larger than the device permitted max WQE size (which
is not a power of 2).

This patch reduces the reported SRQ max wqe size so that it can be used
successfully in creating an SRQ on Tavor HCAs.
