Do a tcl state flush before accessing tcl vector space. This fixes some
more problems with flickering (bug #6637). drm may not be appropriate
place for this, since doing that flush there might both be overkill and
insufficient in some cases. However, it's hard to figure out when that
flush is needed, so this has to suffice. There does not seem to be a
performance penalty associated with it.

This is a collection of patches that greatly improve CFQ performance
in some circumstances.

- Change the idling logic to only kick in after a request is done and we
  are deciding what to do. Before the idling included the request service
  time, so it was hard to adjust. Now it's true think/idle time.

- Take advantage of TCQ/NCQ/queueing for seeky sync workloads, but keep
  it in control for sync and sequential (or close to) workloads.

- Expire queues immediately and move on to other busy queues, if we are
  not going to idle after the current one finishes.

- Don't rearm idle timer if there are no busy queues. Just leave the
  system idle.

Patch originally from Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@sw.ru>

If you set io-priority of process 1 using sys_ioprio_set system call by
another process 2 (like ionice do), then cfq_init_prio_data() function
sets priority of process 2 (current) on queue of process 1 and clears
the flag, that designates change of ioprio.  So the process  1 will work
like with priority of process 2.

I propose not to call cfq_init_prio_data() on io-priority change, but
only mark queue as queue with changed prority.  Every time when new
request comes cfq-scheduler checks for this flag and atomaticaly changes
priority of queue to new value.

Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.

Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

The queue lock can be taken from interrupts so it must always be taken with
irq disabling primitives.  Some primitives already verify this.
blk_start_queue() is called under this lock, so interrupts must be
disabled.

Also document this requirement clearly in blk_init_queue(), where the queue
spinlock is set.

While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop
device was returning total garbage.

It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the
LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl.  This
losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call.

The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL,
which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer.

This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in
loop_set_fd.

Sometimes partitions claim to be larger than the reported capacity of a
disk device.  This patch makes the kernel warn about those partitions.

We still permit these patitions to be used.  Quoting Andries Brouwer
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>:

 Case 1: The kernel is mistaken about the size of the disk.  (There are
 commands to clip a disk to a certain capacity, there are jumpers to tell a
 disk that it should report a certain capacity etc.  Usually this is because
 of BIOS bugs.  In bad cases the machine will crash in the BIOS and hence fail
 to boot if the disk reports full capacity.) In such cases actually accessing
 the blocks of the partition may work fine, or may work fine after running an
 unclip utility.  I wrote "setmax" some years ago precisely for this reason.

 Case 2: There was a messy partition table (maybe just a rounding error) but
 the actual filesystem on the partition is contained in the physical disk.
 Now using the filesystem goes without problem.

 Case 3: Both partition and filesystem extend beyond the end of the disk.  In
 forensic or debugging situations one often uses a copy of the start of a
 disk.  Now access beyond the end gives an expected I/O error.

Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists.  In the first
list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO.  In the second
list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait
for the IO to complete.  This should simplify a handling of checkpoint
lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.

When CONFIG_BASE_SAMLL=1, cascade() in may enter the infinite loop.
Because of CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=1(TVR_BITS=6 and TVN_BITS=4), the list
base->tv5 may cascade into base->tv5.  So, the kernel enters the infinite
loop in the function cascade().

I created a test module to verify this bug, and a patch to fix it.
