With the cfq_queue hash removal, we inadvertently got rid of the
async queue sharing. This was not intentional, in fact CFQ purposely
shares the async queue per priority level to get good merging for
async writes.
So put some logic in cfq_get_queue() to track the shared queues.

As per Andrew Mortons request, here's a set of documentation for
the generic pipe_buf_operations hooks, the pipe, and pipe_buffer
structures.

The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer
in the most commonly used sense in the kernel. So change the
name to 'confirm', after debating this issue with Hugh
Dickins a bit.
A good return from ->confirm() means that the buffer is really
there, and that the contents are good.

This patch removes xip_file_sendfile, the sendfile implementation for
xip without replacement. Those customers that use xip on s390 are not
using sendfile() as far as we know, and so far s390 is the only platform
this could potentially be used on so far.
Having sendfile is not a popular feature for execute in place file
systems, however we have a working implementation of splice_read() based
on fs/splice.c if anyone asks for it.
At this point in time, it does not seem preferable to merge
splice_read() for xip because it causes extra maintenence effort due to
code duplication and it requires struct page behind the xip memory
segment. We'd like to get rid of that in favor of supporting flash based
embedded platforms (Monta Vista work) soon.

We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use

file finally.

A bit of a cheat, it actually just copies the data to userspace. But
this makes the interface nice and symmetric and enables people to build
on splice, with room for future improvement in performance.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
For direct splicing (or private splicing), the output may not be a file.
So abstract out the handling into a specified actor function and put
the data in the splice_desc structure earlier, so we can build on top
of that.
This is the first step in better splice handling for drivers, and also
for implementing vmsplice _to_ user memory.

This patch allows users to override both host and device side cable detection
with "ideX=ata66" kernel parameter. Thanks to this it should be now possible
to use UDMA > 2 modes on systems (laptops mainly) which use short 40-pin cable
instead of 80-pin one.
Next patches add automatic detection of some systems using short cables.
Changes:
* Rename hwif->udma_four to hwif->cbl and make it u8.
* Convert all existing users accordingly (use ATA_CBL_* defines while at it).
* Add ATA_CBL_PATA40_SHORT support to ide-iops.c:eighty_ninty_three().
* Use ATA_CBL_PATA40_SHORT for "ideX=ata66" kernel parameter.

the Linux scheduler is starving a number of workloads. So default

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.
