Arjan van de Ven 2b8693c061 [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 3
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Mathieu Desnoyers 23c887522e [PATCH] Relay: add CPU hotplug support
Mathieu originally needed to add this for tracing Xen, but it's something
that's needed for any application that can be tracing while cpus are added.

unplug isn't supported by this patch.  The thought was that at minumum a new
buffer needs to be added when a cpu comes up, but it wasn't worth the effort
to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the
channel was closed.

Fabio Massimo Di Nitto d18d7682c1 [PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute.
Some partitioning systems create special partitions that
span the entire disk.  One example are Sun partitions, and
this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the
extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block
and do other things.

Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions,
because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one.
So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which
we do not want.  udev and friends can thus search for this
'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the
partition.

Neil Brown 387bb17374 [PATCH] md: fix various bugs with aligned reads in RAID5
It is possible for raid5 to be sent a bio that is too big for an underlying
device.  So if it is a READ that we pass stright down to a device, it will
fail and confuse RAID5.

So in 'chunk_aligned_read' we check that the bio fits within the parameters
for the target device and if it doesn't fit, fall back on reading through
the stripe cache and making lots of one-page requests.

Note that this is the earliest time we can check against the device because
earlier we don't have a lock on the device, so it could change underneath
us.

Also, the code for handling a retry through the cache when a read fails has
not been tested and was badly broken.  This patch fixes that code.

Linas Vepstas 95543179f1 [PATCH] elevator: move clearing of unplug flag earlier
A flag was recently added to the elevator code to avoid
performing an unplug when reuests are being re-queued.
The goal of this flag was to avoid a deep recursion that
can occur when re-queueing requests after a SCSI device/host
reset.  See http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/17/254

However, that fix added the flag near the bottom of a case
statement, where an earlier break (in an if statement) could
transport one out of the case, without setting the flag.
This patch sets the flag earlier in the case statement.

I re-discovered the deep recursion recently during testing;
I was told that it was a known problem, and the fix to it was
in the kernel I was testing. Indeed it was ... but it didn't
fix the bug. With the patch below, I no longer see the bug.

Jens Axboe ec8acb6904 [PATCH] cfq-iosched: merging problem
Two issues:

- The final return 1 should be a return 0, otherwise comparing cfqq is
  a noop.

- bio_sync() only checks the sync flag, while rq_is_sync() checks both
  for READ and sync. The latter is what we want. Expand the bio check
  to include reads, and relax the restriction to allow merging of async
  io into sync requests.

In the future we want to clean up the SYNC logic, right now it means
both sync request (such as READ and O_DIRECT WRITE) and unplug-on-issue.
Leave that for later.

Jens Axboe da77526502 [PATCH] cfq-iosched: don't allow sync merges across queues
Currently we allow any merge, even if the io originates from different
processes. This can cause really bad starvation and unfairness, if those
ios happen to be synchronous (reads or direct writes).

So add a allow_merge hook to the io scheduler ops, so an io scheduler can
help decide whether a bio/process combination may be merged with an
existing request.

Matthew Wilcox e62438630c [PATCH] Centralise definitions of sector_t and blkcnt_t
CONFIG_LBD and CONFIG_LSF are spread into asm/types.h for no particularly
good reason.

Centralising the definition in linux/types.h means that arch maintainers
don't need to bother adding it, as well as fixing the problem with
x86-64 users being asked to make a decision that has absolutely no
effect.

The H8/300 porters seem particularly confused since I'm not aware of any
microcontrollers that need to support 2TB filesystems.

Jens Axboe a863055b10 [PATCH] blktrace: don't return blktrace_seq from trace_note()
Only the process notifier needs it, and it can set it manually.

Jens Axboe d3d9d2a5ea [PATCH] blktrace: uninline trace_note()
It's too large to inline. Additionally clean it up, by fast pathing
the likely path.
