The sunrpc module uses rcu_call() thus it should use rcu_barrier() on
module unload.
Have not verified that the possibility for new call_rcu() callbacks
has been disabled. As a hint for checking, the functions calling
call_rcu() (unx_destroy_cred and generic_destroy_cred) are
registered as crdestroy function pointer in struct rpc_credops.

When unloading modules that uses call_rcu() callbacks, then we must
use rcu_barrier(). This module uses syncronize_net() which is not
enough to be sure that all callback has been completed.

The decnet module unloading as been disabled with a '#if 0' statement,
because it have had issues.
We add a rcu_barrier() anyhow for correctness.
The maintainer (Chrissie Caulfield) will look into the unload issue
when time permits.

This reverts commit ae0e8e82205c903978a79ebf5e31c670b61fa5b4.
This change had two problems:
1) Since it frees the stats in the drivers' close method, we
can OOPS in the transmit routine.
2) stats are no longer remembered across ifdown/ifup which
disagrees with how every other device operates.
Thanks to analysis and test patch from Serge E. Hallyn
and initial OOPS report by Sachin Sant.

There are cases when charging monitor and the event handler try to
change the charger state simultaneously. For instance, a charger is
connected to the system, there's the detection event and the event
handler tries to enable charging. It is possible that the periodic
charging monitor runs at the same time and it still thinks there's
no external charger. So it tries to disable the charging. As the
result, even if the conditions necessary to charge the battery hold,
there will be no actual charging.
The patch changes the event handler so that instead of enabling/
disabling the charger immediately it would rather make the monitor
run. The monitor code then decides what should be the charger state.

Even though one cannot make use of the audit watch code without
CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL the spaghetti nature of the audit code means that
the audit rule filtering requires that it at least be compiled.
Thus build the audit_watch code when we build auditfilter like it was
before cfcad62c74abfef83762dc05a556d21bdf3980a2
Clearly this is a point of potential future cleanup..

commit 64d1304a64 (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which
modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write
access faults.
The patch was made on two wrong assumptions:
1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access.
On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check.
2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us.
That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call
mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that
call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the
actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again.
The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write
access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to
fault it in with verification of write access.
There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault
the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will
fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF
overhead.
If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it
anymore and need to bail out to user space.
Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

Traditionally, we never failed small orders (even regardless of any
__GFP_NOFAIL flags), and slab will allocate order-1 allocations even for
small allocations that could fit in a single page (in order to avoid
excessive fragmentation).
Maybe we should remove this warning entirely, but before making that
judgement, at least limit it to bigger allocations.

The existing code had the following race:
Thread-1 Thread-2
inc/read in_use
inc/read in_use
inc tx_free_list[qos].len
inc tx_free_list[qos].len
The actual in_use value was incremented twice, but thread-1 is going
to free memory based on its stale value, and will free one too many
times. The result is that memory is freed back to the kernel while
its packet is still in the transmit buffer. If the memory is
overwritten before it is transmitted, the hardware will put a valid
checksum on it and send it out (just like it does with good packets).
If by chance the TCP flags are clobbered but not the addresses or
ports, the result can be a broken TCP stream.
The fix is to track the number of freed packets in a single location
(a Fetch-and-Add Unit register). That way it can never get out of sync
with itself.
We try to free up to MAX_SKB_TO_FREE (currently 10) buffers at a time.
If fewer are available we adjust the free count with the difference.
The action of claiming buffers to free is atomic so two threads cannot
claim the same buffers.

Each platform has to add support for CPU hotplugging itself by providing
suitable definitions for the cpu_disable and cpu_die of the smp_ops
methods and setting SYS_SUPPORTS_HOTPLUG_CPU. A platform should only set
SYS_SUPPORTS_HOTPLUG_CPU once all it's smp_ops definitions have the
necessary changes. This patch contains the changes to the dummy smp_ops
definition for uni-processor systems.

We can't perform any flushes on SMP from swsusp_arch_resume because
interrupts are disabled. A cross-CPU flush is unnecessary anyway
because all but the local CPU have already been disabled. A local
flush is not needed either because we didn't change any mappings. So
just delete the code.

This patch converts dm-multipath target to request-based from bio-based.
Basically, the patch just converts the I/O unit from struct bio
to struct request.
In the course of the conversion, it also changes the I/O queueing
mechanism. The change in the I/O queueing is described in details
as follows.
I/O queueing mechanism change
-----------------------------
In I/O submission, map_io(), there is no mechanism change from
bio-based, since the clone request is ready for retry as it is.
However, in I/O complition, do_end_io(), there is a mechanism change
from bio-based, since the clone request is not ready for retry.
In do_end_io() of bio-based, the clone bio has all needed memory
for resubmission. So the target driver can queue it and resubmit
it later without memory allocations.
The mechanism has almost no overhead.
On the other hand, in do_end_io() of request-based, the clone request
doesn't have clone bios, so the target driver can't resubmit it
as it is. To resubmit the clone request, memory allocation for
clone bios is needed, and it takes some overheads.
To avoid the overheads just for queueing, the target driver doesn't
queue the clone request inside itself.
Instead, the target driver asks dm core for queueing and remapping
the original request of the clone request, since the overhead for
queueing is just a freeing memory for the clone request.
As a result, the target driver doesn't need to record/restore
the information of the original request for resubmitting
the clone request. So dm_bio_details in dm_mpath_io is removed.
multipath_busy()
---------------------
The target driver returns "busy", only when the following case:
o The target driver will map I/Os, if map() function is called
and
o The mapped I/Os will wait on underlying device's queue due to
their congestions, if map() function is called now.
In other cases, the target driver doesn't return "busy".
Otherwise, dm core will keep the I/Os and the target driver can't
do what it wants.
(e.g. the target driver can't map I/Os now, so wants to kill I/Os.)

This patch disables interrupt when taking map_lock to avoid
lockdep warnings in request-based dm.
request-based dm takes map_lock after taking queue_lock with
disabling interrupt:
spin_lock_irqsave(queue_lock)
q->request_fn() == dm_request_fn()
=> dm_get_table()
=> read_lock(map_lock)
while queue_lock could be (but isn't) taken in interrupt context.

Request-based dm doesn't have barrier support yet.
So we need to set QUEUE_ORDERED_DRAIN only for bio-based dm.
Since the device type is decided at the first table loading time,
the flag set is deferred until then.

This patch enables request-based dm.
o Request-based dm and bio-based dm coexist, since there are
some target drivers which are more fitting to bio-based dm.
Also, there are other bio-based devices in the kernel
(e.g. md, loop).
Since bio-based device can't receive struct request,
there are some limitations on device stacking between
bio-based and request-based.
type of underlying device
bio-based request-based
----------------------------------------------
bio-based OK OK
request-based -- OK
The device type is recognized by the queue flag in the kernel,
so dm follows that.
o The type of a dm device is decided at the first table binding time.
Once the type of a dm device is decided, the type can't be changed.
o Mempool allocations are deferred to at the table loading time, since
mempools for request-based dm are different from those for bio-based
dm and needed mempool type is fixed by the type of table.
o Currently, request-based dm supports only tables that have a single
target. To support multiple targets, we need to support request
splitting or prevent bio/request from spanning multiple targets.
The former needs lots of changes in the block layer, and the latter
needs that all target drivers support merge() function.
Both will take a time.
