During long I/O operations, the hang_check timer may fire,
trigger stack dumps that unnecessarily alarm the user.
Eg. hdparm --security-erase NULL /dev/sdb ## can take *hours* to complete
So, if hang_check is armed, we should wake up periodically
to prevent it from triggering. This patch uses a wake-up interval
equal to half the hang_check timer period, which keeps overhead low enough.

Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is
lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between
the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit.
Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing
small files and fsync-ing them is starved.
This patch fixes the two problems by:
- marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE
flag set,
- force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle
tree.
Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated
to journal commits in the noidle tree allows:
- switching between them without idling,
- fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only
after the noidle tree expires its slice.

When a new disk is being discovered, add_disk() first ties the bdev to gendisk
(via register_disk()->blkdev_get()) and only after that calls
bdi_register_bdev(). Because register_disk() also creates disk's kobject, it
can happen that userspace manages to open and modify the device's data (or
inode) before its BDI is properly initialized leading to a warning in
__mark_inode_dirty().
Fix the problem by registering BDI early enough.

This is the third patch in a series which adds support for
storing partition metadata, optionally, off of the hd_struct.
One major use for that data is being able to resolve partition
by other identities than just the index on a block device. Device
enumeration varies by platform and there's a benefit to being able
to use something like EFI GPT's GUIDs to determine the correct
block device and partition to mount as the root.
This change adds that support to root= by adding support for
the following syntax:
root=PARTUUID=hex-uuid

When sending DIX integrity segments with an I/O request, the
restriction for the maximum number of segments is still the same for
the zfcp hardware. Report the new sg_prot_tablesize for the SCSI host,
so that the number of integrity segments plus the number of data
segments is not larger than the hardware limit. This results in using
half of the hardware segments for integrity data and the other half
for regular data.

We now attempt to free "active" objects following a GPU hang as either
the GPU will be reset or the hang is permenant. In either case, the GPU
writes will not be flushed to main memory and it should be safe to

The BUG_ON(active) is thus overkill and can erroneously fire after a

Waiting for a hard coded 20ms isn't always enough to make sure a vblank

passed through a vblank period (or that the pipe is off when disabling).

fix a bug like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29278, but
on an HP 8440p instead. Hopefully also fixes

With the introduction of the new unified work queue thread pools,
we lost one feature: It's no longer possible to know which worker
is causing the CPU to wake out of idle. The result is that PowerTOP
now reports a lot of "kworker/a:b" instead of more readable results.
This patch adds a pair of tracepoints to the new workqueue code,
similar in style to the timer/hrtimer tracepoints.
With this pair of tracepoints, the next PowerTOP can correctly
report which work item caused the wakeup (and how long it took):
Interrupt (43) i915 time 3.51ms wakeups 141
Work ieee80211_iface_work time 0.81ms wakeups 29

Chapter 6 is right about mutex_trylock, but chapter 10 wasn't. This error
was introduced during semaphore-to-mutex conversion of the Unreliable
guide. :-)
If user context which performs mutex_lock() or mutex_trylock() is
preempted by interrupt context which performs mutex_trylock() on the same
mutex instance, a deadlock occurs. This is because these functions do not
disable local IRQs when they operate on mutex->wait_lock.
