vm audit: add VM_DONTEXPAND to mmap for drivers that need it
Drivers that register a ->fault handler, but do not range-check the
offset argument, must set VM_DONTEXPAND in the vm_flags in order to
prevent an expanding mremap from overflowing the resource.
I've audited the tree and attempted to fix these problems (usually by
adding VM_DONTEXPAND where it is not obvious).

virtio: balloon driver
After discussions with Anthony Liguori, it seems that the virtio
balloon can be made even simpler. Here's my attempt.
The device configuration tells the driver how much memory it should
take from the guest (ie. balloon size). The guest feeds the page
numbers it has taken via one virtqueue.
A second virtqueue feeds the page numbers the driver wants back: if
the device has the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST bit, then this
queue is compulsory, otherwise it's advisory (and the guest can simply
fault the pages back in).
This driver can be enhanced later to deflate the balloon via a
shrinker, oom callback or we could even go for a complete set of
in-guest regulators.

virtio: Use PCI revision field to indicate virtio PCI ABI version
As Avi pointed out, as we continue to massage the virtio PCI ABI, we can make
things a little more friendly to users by utilizing the PCI revision field to
indicate which version of the ABI we're using. This is a hard ABI version
and incrementing it will cause the guest driver to break.
This is the necessary changes to virtio_pci to support this.

virtio_blk: implement naming for vda-vdz,vdaa-vdzz,vdaaa-vdzzz
Am Freitag, 1. Februar 2008 schrieb Christian Borntraeger:
> Right. I will fix that with an additional patch.
This patch goes on top of the minor number patch. Please let me know if
you want a merged patch:
Currently virtio_blk creates the disk name combinging "vd" with 'a'++.
This will give strange names after vdz. I have implemented names up to
vdzzz - inspired by the sd.c code. That should be sufficient for now.
There is one driver in the kernel (driver/s390/block/dasd_genhd.c) that
implements names from dasda-dasdzzzz allowing even more disks. Maybe
a janitor can come up with a common implementation usable for all kind
of block device drivers.
I have tested this patch with 100 disks - seems to work.

currently virtio_blk uses one major number per device. While this works
quite well on most systems it is wasteful and will exhaust major numbers
on larger installations.
This patch allocates a major number on init and will use 16 minor numbers
for each disk. That will allow ~64k virtio_blk disks.

I currently try to make my guest boot from an virtio root device
without having an external kernel. Some of the tools that I tried
expect HDIO_GETGEO to work. The most interesting value is likely
the geo.start value to get the offset of a partition. This value
is filled by block/ioctl.c if fops->getgeo is set. This patch also
fills in some standard values for heads, sectors and cylinders.
Makes sense?

virtio: handle interrupts after callbacks turned off
Anthony Liguori found double interrupt suppression in the virtio_net
driver, triggered by two skb_recv_done's in a row. This is because
virtio_ring's interrupt suppression is a best-effort optimization: it
contains no synchronization so the host can miss it and still send
interrupts.
But it's certainly nicer for virtio users if calling disable_cb
actually disables callbacks, so we check for the race in the interrupt
routine.
Note: SMP guests might require syncronization here, but since
disable_cb is actually called from interrupt context, there has to be
some form of synchronization before the next same interrupt handler is
called (Linux guarantees that the same device's irq handler will never
run simultanously on multiple CPUs).

virtio: Tweak virtio_net defines
1) Turn GSO on virtio net into an all-or-nothing (keep checksumming
separate). Having multiple bits is a pain: if you can't support something
you should handle it in software, which is still a performance win.
2) Make VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN a flag in the header, so it can apply to
IPv6 or v4.
3) Rename VIRTIO_NET_F_NO_CSUM to VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM (ie. means we do
checksumming).
4) Add csum and gso params to virtio_net to allow more testing.

scsi: fix dependency bug in aic7 Makefile
Building the aic7xxx driver includes the copy
of an .h file from a _shipped file.
In a highly parallel build Ingo saw that the
build sometimes failed (included distcc usage).
It was tracked down to a missing dependency from the .c
source file to the generated .h file.
We started to build the .c file before the
copy (cat) operation of the .h file completed
and we then only got half of the definitions
from the copied .h file.
Add an explicit dependency from the .c files to the
generated .h files so make knows all dependencies and
finsih the build of the .h files before it starts
building the .o files.
Ingo tested this fix and reported:
good news: hundreds of successful kernel builds and no failures
overnight.
