blk_abort_queue() iterates the timeout list and aborts each request on the
list, but if the driver error handling readds a request to the timeout list
during this processing, we could be looping forever. Fix this by splicing
current entries to a local list and run over that list instead.

Hi Tejun,

 it looks like your commit:

   block: don't depend on consecutive minor space
   f331c029

 broke a particular case for booting from partitioned md/raid devices.
 That is the second time this has been broken recently.  The previous
 time was fixed by

   block: do_mounts - accept root=<non-existant partition>
   30f2f0eb

 Because the data isn't available when an md device is first created
 (we add disks and set it up after creation), the initial partition
 scan finds nothing.  It is not until the device is opened that
 another partition scan happens and finds something.

 So at the point where the kernel parameter "root=/dev/md_d0p1" is
 being parsed, md_d0 exists, but md_d0p1 does not.
 However if we let blk_lookup_devt return the correct device number
 even though the device doesn't exist, then the attempt to mount it
 will successfully find the partition.

 I have tried in the past to find a way to get the partition table to
 be read as soon as the array is assembled but that proved impossible
 (at the time).  I don't remember the details, and could possibly
 revisit it.  However it would be really nice if blk_lookup_devt
 could be adjusted to again accept non existant partitions.

The above commit added WRITE_SYNC and switched various places to using
that for committing writes that will be waited upon immediately after
submission. However, this causes a performance regression with AS and CFQ
for ext3 at least, since sync_dirty_buffer() will submit some writes with
WRITE_SYNC while ext3 has sumitted others dependent writes without the sync
flag set. This causes excessive anticipation/idling in the IO scheduler
because sync and async writes get interleaved, causing a big performance
regression for the below test case (which is meant to simulate sqlite
like behaviour).

---- test case ----

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

	int fdes, i;
	FILE *fp;
	struct timeval start;
	struct timeval end;
	struct timeval res;

	gettimeofday(&start, NULL);
	for (i=0; i<ROWS; i++) {
		fp = fopen("test_file", "a");
		fprintf(fp, "Some Text Data\n");
		fdes = fileno(fp);
		fsync(fdes);
		fclose(fp);
	}
	gettimeofday(&end, NULL);

	timersub(&end, &start, &res);
	fprintf(stdout, "time to write %d lines is %ld(msec)\n", ROWS,
			(res.tv_sec*1000000 + res.tv_usec)/1000);

	return 0;
}

Thanks to Sean.White@APCC.com for tracking down this performance
regression and providing a test case.

The kexec kernel resets the CCISS hardware in three steps:

1. Use PCI power management states to reset the controller in the
   kexec kernel.

2. Clear the MSI/MSI-X bits in PCI configuration space so that MSI
   initialization in the kexec kernel doesn't fail.

3. Use the CCISS "No-op" message to determine when the controller
   firmware has recovered from the PCI PM reset.

When submitting requests via SG_IO, which does a sync io, a
bsg_command is not allocated. So an in-Kernel sense_buffer was not
set. However when calling blk_execute_rq() with no sense buffer
one is provided from the stack. Now bsg at blk_complete_sgv4_hdr_rq()
would check if rq->sense_len and a sense was requested by sg_io_v4
the rq->sense was copy_user() back, but by now it is already mangled
stack memory.

I have fixed that by forcing a sense_buffer when calling bsg_map_hdr().
The bsg_command->sense is provided in the write/read path like before,
and on-the-stack buffer is provided when doing SG_IO.

I have also fixed a dprintk message to print rq->errors in hex because
of the scsi bit-field use of this member. For other block devices it
does not matter anyway.

If a USB PCI controller is behind a cardbus bridge, we are trying to
restore its configuration registers too early, before the cardbus
bridge is operational.  To fix this, call pci_restore_state() from
usb_hcd_pci_resume() and remove usb_hcd_pci_resume_early() which is
no longer necessary (the configuration spaces of USB controllers that
are not behind cardbus bridges will be restored by the PCI PM core
with interrupts disabled anyway).

This patch fixes the regression from 2.6.28 tracked as
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12659

[ Side note: the proper long-term fix is probably to just force the
  unplug event at suspend time instead of doing a plug/unplug at resume
  time, but this patch is fine regardless  - Linus ]

This is the cause of the DMA faults and disk corruption that people have
been seeing. Some chipsets neglect to report the RWBF "capability" --
the flag which says that we need to flush the chipset write-buffer when
changing the DMA page tables, to ensure that the change is visible to
the IOMMU.

Override that bit on the affected chipsets, and everything is happy
again.

Getting this wrong caused

	WARNING: at fs/namespace.c:636 mntput_no_expire+0xac/0xf2()

due to optimistically checking cpu_writer->mnt outside the spinlock.

Here's what we really want:
 * we know that nobody will set cpu_writer->mnt to mnt from now on
 * all changes to that sucker are done under cpu_writer->lock
 * we want the laziest equivalent of
	spin_lock(&cpu_writer->lock);
	if (likely(cpu_writer->mnt != mnt)) {
		spin_unlock(&cpu_writer->lock);
		continue;
	}
	/* do stuff */
  that would make sure we won't miss earlier setting of ->mnt done by
  another CPU.

Anyway, for now we just move the spin_lock() earlier and move the test
into the properly locked region.
