NFSv4: Add functions to order RPC calls
NFSv4 file state-changing functions such as OPEN, CLOSE, LOCK,... are all
labelled with "sequence identifiers" in order to prevent the server from
reordering RPC requests, as this could cause its file state to
become out of sync with the client.
Currently the NFS client code enforces this ordering locally using
semaphores to restrict access to structures until the RPC call is done.
This, of course, only works with synchronous RPC calls, since the
user process must first grab the semaphore.
By dropping semaphores, and instead teaching the RPC engine to hold
the RPC calls until they are ready to be sent, we can extend this
process to work nicely with asynchronous RPC calls too.
This patch adds a new list called "rpc_sequence" that defines the order
of the RPC calls to be sent. We add one such list for each state_owner.
When an RPC call is ready to be sent, it checks if it is top of the
rpc_sequence list. If so, it proceeds. If not, it goes back to sleep,
and loops until it hits top of the list.
Once the RPC call has completed, it can then bump the sequence id counter,
and remove itself from the rpc_sequence list, and then wake up the next
sleeper.
Note that the state_owner sequence ids and lock_owner sequence ids are
all indexed to the same rpc_sequence list, so OPEN, LOCK,... requests
are all ordered w.r.t. each other.

[PATCH] USB: fix bug in handling of highspeed usb HID devices
During the development of an USB device I found a bug in the handling of
Highspeed HID devices in the kernel.
What happened?
Highspeed HID devices are correctly recognized and enumerated by the
kernel. But even if usbhid kernel module is loaded, no HID reports are
received by the kernel.
The output of the hardware USB analyzer told me that the host doesn't
even poll for interrupt IN transfers (even the "interrupt in" USB
transfer are polled by the host).
After some debugging in hid-core.c I've found the reason.
In case of a highspeed device, the endpoint interval is re-calculated in
driver/usb/input/hid-core.c:
Because of this the value of urb->interval is sometimes negative and is
rejected in core/urb.c:
line 353:
/* too small? */
if (urb->interval <= 0)
return -EINVAL;
The conclusion is, that the recalculaton of the interval (which is
necessary for highspeed) should not be made twice, because this is
simply wrong. ;-)
Re-calculation in usb_fill_int_urb makes more sense, because it is the
most general approach. So it would make sense to remove it from
hid-core.c.
Because in hid-core.c the interval variable is only used for calling
usb_fill_int_urb, it is no problem to remove the highspeed
re-calculation in this file.

Fix bug 5441.
I didn't know about messy programs like svgatextmode... Couldn't this be
integrated in some linux/drivers/video/console/svgacon.c ?... So because
of the existence of the svgatextmode program, the kernel is not supposed to
touch to CRT_OVERFLOW/SYNC_END/DISP/DISP_END/OFFSET ?
Disabling the check in vgacon_resize() might help indeed, but I'm really
not sure whether it will work for any chipset: in my patch, CRT registers
are set at each console switch, since stty rows/cols apply to consoles
separately...
The attached solution is to keep the test, but if it fails, we assume that
the caller knows what it does (i.e. it is svgatextmode) and then disable
any further call to vgacon_doresize. Svgatextmode is usually used to
_expand_ the display, not to shrink it. And it is harmless in the case of
a too big stty rows/cols: the display will just be cropped. I tested it on
my laptop, and it works fine with svgatextmode.
A better solution would be that svgatextmode explicitely tells the kernel
not to care about video timing, but for this an interface needs be defined
and svgatextmode be patched.
