Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL
removal work. Let's get rid of it now.
Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of
code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have
left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with
older kernels.

Vladis Kletnieks reported a new RCU debug warning in the scheduler.
Since commit dce840a08702b ("sched: Dynamically allocate sched_domain/
sched_group data-structures") the sched_domain trees are protected by
RCU instead of RCU-sched.
This means that we need to include rcu_read_lock() protection when we
iterate them since disabling preemption doesn't suffice anymore.

When a task in a taskgroup sleeps, pick_next_task starts all the way back at
the root and picks the task/taskgroup with the min vruntime across all
runnable tasks.
But when there are many frequently sleeping tasks across different taskgroups,
it makes better sense to stay with same taskgroup for its slice period (or
until all tasks in the taskgroup sleeps) instead of switching cross taskgroup
on each sleep after a short runtime.
This helps specifically where taskgroups corresponds to a process with
multiple threads. The change reduces the number of CR3 switches in this case.
Example:
Two taskgroups with 2 threads each which are running for 2ms and
sleeping for 1ms. Looking at sched:sched_switch shows:
BEFORE: taskgroup_1 threads [5004, 5005], taskgroup_2 threads [5016, 5017]
cpu-soaker-5004 [003] 3683.391089

cpu-soaker-5005 [003] 3683.403168
cpu-soaker-5017 [003] 3683.405170
AFTER: taskgroup_1 threads [21890, 21891], taskgroup_2 threads [21934, 21935]
cpu-soaker-21890 [003] 865.895494
cpu-soaker-21935 [003] 865.897506
cpu-soaker-21934 [003] 865.899520

cpu-soaker-21891 [003] 865.915594
cpu-soaker-21934 [003] 865.917606
Similar problem is there when there are multiple taskgroups and say a task A
preempts currently running task B of taskgroup_1. On schedule, pick_next_task
can pick an unrelated task on taskgroup_2. Here it would be better to give some
preference to task B on pick_next_task.
A simple (may be extreme case) benchmark I tried was tbench with 2 tbench
client processes with 2 threads each running on a single CPU. Avg throughput
across 5 50 sec runs was:
BEFORE: 105.84 MB/sec
AFTER: 112.42 MB/sec

Make set_*_buddy() work on non-task sched_entity, to facilitate the
use of next_buddy to cache a group entity in cases where one of the
tasks within that entity sleeps or gets preempted.
set_skip_buddy() was incorrectly comparing the policy of task that is
yielding to be not equal to SCHED_IDLE. Yielding should happen even
when task yielding is SCHED_IDLE. This change removes the policy check
on the yielding task.

next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed
in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc.
Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range
(and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the
helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.
So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1"
doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the
pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow
case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to
overflow).
[ Use PID_MAX_LIMIT rather than pid_max as per Eric Biederman ]

Mouse gets "stuck" after restore of PV guest but buttons are in working
condition.
If driver has been configured for ABS coordinates at start it will get
XENKBD_TYPE_POS events and then suddenly after restore it'll start getting
XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION events, that will be dropped later and they won't get
into user-space.
Regression was introduced by hunk 5 and 6 of
5ea5254aa0ad269cfbd2875c973ef25ab5b5e9db
("Input: xen-kbdfront - advertise either absolute or relative
coordinates").
Driver on restore should ask xen for request-abs-pointer again if it is
available. So restore parts that did it before 5ea5254.

In raid5 plugging is used for 2 things:
1/ collecting writes that require a bitmap update
2/ collecting writes in the hope that we can create full
stripes - or at least more-full.
We now release these different sets of stripes when plug_cnt
is zero.
Also in make_request, we call mddev_check_plug to hopefully increase
plug_cnt, and wake up the thread at the end if plugging wasn't
achieved for some reason.

When an md device adds a request to a queue, it can call
mddev_check_plugged.
If this succeeds then we know that the md thread will be woken up
shortly, and ->plug_cnt will be non-zero until then, so some
processing can be delayed.
If it fails, then no unplug callback is expected and the make_request
function needs to do whatever is required to make the request happen.

md has some plugging infrastructure for RAID5 to use because the
normal plugging infrastructure required a 'request_queue', and when

So remove all of that code, both in md and raid5. Subsequent patches

If we know we are going to punt to kblockd, we can drop the queue
lock before calling into __blk_run_queue() since it only does a
safe bit test and a workqueue call. Since kblockd needs to grab
this very lock as one of the first things it does, it's a good
optimization to drop the lock before waking kblockd.

Because of speculative event roll back, it is possible for some event coutners
to decrease between reads on POWER7. This causes a problem with the way that
counters are updated. Delta calues are calculated in a 64 bit value and the
top 32 bits are masked. If the register value has decreased, this leaves us
with a very large positive value added to the kernel counters. This patch
protects against this by skipping the update if the delta would be negative.
This can lead to a lack of precision in the coutner values, but from my testing
the value is typcially fewer than 10 samples at a time.

PAPR specifies that DTL buffers can not cross AMS environments (aka CMO
in the PAPR) and can not cross a memory entitlement granule boundary
(4k). This is found in section 14.11.3.2 H_REGISTER_VPA of the PAPR.
kmalloc does not guarantee an alignment of the allocation, though,
beyond 8 bytes (at least in my understanding). Create a special kmem

Apparently some distros set i2c-algo-bit.bit_test to 1 by
default. In some cases this causes i2c_bit_add_bus
to fail and prevents the i2c bus from being added. In the
radeon case, we fail to add the ddc i2c buses which prevents
the driver from being able to detect attached monitors.
The i2c bus works fine even if bit_test fails. This is likely
due to gpio switching that is required and handled in the
pre/post_xfer hooks, so call the pre/post_xfer hooks in the
bit test as well.

It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering
would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new
scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is.
It's essentially the difference between an explicit unplug (IO unplug)
or an implicit unplug (timer unplug, we scheduled with pending IO
queued).

Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
we should be able to get the best of both worlds.
So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
and only use that from the schedule() path.
