[S390] tape: Fix race condition in tape block device driver

Due to incorrect function call sequence it can happen that a tape block
request is finished before the request is taken from the block request queue.

The following sequence leads to that condition:
 * tapeblock_start_request() -> start CCW program
 * Request finishes -> IO interrupt
 * tapeblock_end_request()
 * end_that_request_last()

If blkdev_dequeue_request() has not been called before end_that_request_last(),
a kernel bug is triggered in end_that_request_last() because the request is
still queued. To solve that problem blkdev_dequeue_request() has to be called
before starting the CCW program.

USB: EHCI: fix performance regression

This patch (as1099) fixes a performance regression in ehci-hcd.  The
fundamental problem is that queue headers get removed from the
schedule too quickly, since the code checks for a counter advancing
rather than making an actual time-based check.  The latency involved
in removing the queue header and then relinking it can severely
degrade certain kinds of workloads.

The patch replaces a simple counter with a timestamp derived from the
controller's uframe value.  In addition, the delay for unlinking an
idle queue header is increased from 5 ms to 10 ms; since some
controllers (nVidia) have a latency of up to 1 ms for unlinking, this
reduces the relative impact from 20% to 10%.

Finally, a logical error left over from the IAA watchdog-timer
conversion is corrected.  Now the driver will always either unlink an
idle queue header or set up a timer to unlink it later.  The old code
would sometimes fail to do either.

This patch (as1098) changes the way ehci-hcd schedules its periodic
Iso transfers.  That the current scheduling code is wrong is clear on
the face of it: Sometimes it returns -EL2NSYNC (meaning that an URB
couldn't be scheduled because it was submitted too late), but it does
this even when the URB_ISO_ASAP flag is set (meaning the URB should be
scheduled as soon as possible).

The new code properly implements as-soon-as-possible scheduling,
assigning the next unexpired slot as the URB's starting point.  It
also is more careful about checking for Iso URB completion: It doesn't
bother to check for activity during frames that are already over,
and it allows for the possibility that some of the URB's packets may
have raced the hardware when they were submitted and so never got used

USB: fix possible deadlock involving sysfs attributes

There is a potential deadlock when the usb_generic driver is unbound
from a device.  The problem is that generic_disconnect() is called
with the device lock held, and it removes a bunch of device attributes
from sysfs.  If a user task happens to be running an attribute method
at the time, the removal will block until the method returns.  But at
least one of the attribute methods (the store routine for power/level)
needs to acquire the device lock!

This patch (as1093) eliminates the deadlock by moving the calls to
create and remove the sysfs attributes from the usb_generic driver
into usb_new_device() and usb_disconnect(), where they can be invoked
without holding the device lock.

Besides, the other sysfs attributes are created when the device is
registered and removed when the device is unregistered.  So it seems
only fitting for the extra attributes to be created and removed at the
same time.

sched: re-tune NUMA topologies

improve the sysbench ramp-up phase and its peak throughput on
a 16way NUMA box, by turning on WAKE_AFFINE:

             tip/sched   tip/sched+wake-affine
-------------------------------------------------
    1:             700              830    +15.65%
    2:            1465             1391    -5.28%

-------------------------------------------------
  SUM:           57558            57882    +0.56%

this change also improves lat_ctx from 6.69 usecs to 1.11 usec:

  $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
  "size=0k ovr=1.19
  2 1.11

  $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
  "size=0k ovr=1.22
  2 6.69

in sysbench it's an overall win with some weakness at the lots-of-clients
side. That happens because we now under-balance this workload
a bit. To counter that effect, turn on NEWIDLE:

              wake-idle          wake-idle+newidle
 -------------------------------------------------
     1:             830              834    +0.43%
     2:            1391             1401    +0.65%
     4:            3105             3091    -0.43%
     8:            6021             6046    +0.42%
    16:           10745            10736    -0.08%
    32:           10150            10206    +0.55%
    64:            9240             9533    +3.08%
   128:            8252             8355    +1.24%

 -------------------------------------------------
   SUM:           57882            58591    +1.21%

as a bonus this not only improves the many-clients case but
also improves the (more important) rampup phase.

sysbench is a workload that quickly breaks down if the
scheduler over-balances, so since it showed an improvement
under NEWIDLE this change is definitely good.

1 second after turning power off before taking any action that relies
on power having been removed from the slot/adapter. For this, current

hpc_power_off_slot() can make pciehp probing slow-down because pciehp
probe code calls hpc_power_off_slot() if the slot is not occupied just
in case. We don't need to wait for 1 second at the pciehp probe time
because there is no action on that empty slot. So move 1 second wait

pciehp: fix slow probing

Fix the "pciehp probing slow" problem reported from Jan C. Nordholz in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10751.

The command completed bit in Slot Status register applies only to
commands issued to control the attention indicator, power indicator,
power controller, or electromechanical interlock. However, writes to
other parts of the Slot Control register would end up writing to the
control fields. Hence, any write to Slot Control register is
considered as a command. However, if the controller doesn't support
any of attention indicator, power indicator, power controller and
electromechanical interlock, command completed bit would not set in
writing to Slot Control register. In this case, we should not wait for
command completed bit set, otherwise all commands would be considered
not completed in timeout seconds (1 sec.).

The cause of the problem is pciehp driver didn't take this situation
into account. This patch changes pciehp to take it into account. This
patch also add the check for "No Command Completed Support" bit in
Slot Capability register. If it is set, we should not wait for command
completed bit set as well.

This problem seems to be revealed by the commit
c27fb883dffe11aa4cb35ecea1fa1832ba45d4da that fixed the bug that
pciehp did not wait for command completed properly (pciehp just

    driver from detecting the spurious events that would have been occur
    before pciehp loading.

(2) Add check whether slot initialization had been already done.

[IA64] Workaround for RSE issue

Problem: An application violating the architectural rules regarding
operation dependencies and having specific Register Stack Engine (RSE)
state at the time of the violation, may result in an illegal operation
fault and invalid RSE state.  Such faults may initiate a cascade of
repeated illegal operation faults within OS interruption handlers.
The specific behavior is OS dependent.

Implication: An application causing an illegal operation fault with
specific RSE state may result in a series of illegal operation faults
and an eventual OS stack overflow condition.

Workaround: OS interruption handlers that switch to kernel backing
store implement a check for invalid RSE state to avoid the series
of illegal operation faults.

The core of the workaround is the RSE_WORKAROUND code sequence
inserted into each invocation of the SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER and
SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER_R19 macros.  This sequence includes hard-coded
constants that depend on the number of stacked physical registers
being 96.  The rest of this patch consists of code to disable this
workaround should this not be the case (with the presumption that
if a future Itanium processor increases the number of registers, it
would also remove the need for this patch).

Move the start of the RBS up to a mod32 boundary to avoid some
corner cases.

The dispatch_illegal_op_fault code outgrew the spot it was
squatting in when built with this patch and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y
Move it out to the end of the ivt.

cgroups: remove node_ prefix_from ns subsystem

This is a slight change in the namespace cgroup subsystem api.

The change is that previously when cgroup_clone() was called (currently
only from the unshare path in ns_proxy cgroup, you'd get a new group named
"node_$pid" whereas now you'll get a group named after just your pid.)

The only users who would notice it are those who are using the ns_proxy
cgroup subsystem to auto-create cgroups when namespaces are unshared -
something of an experimental feature, which I think really needs more
complete container/namespace support in order to be useful.  I suspect the
only users are Cedric and Serge, or maybe a few others on
containers@lists.linux-foundation.org.  And in fact it would only be
noticed by the users who make the assumption about how the name is
generated, rather than getting it from the /proc/<pid>/cgroups file for
the process in question.

guess it is more elegant to just use the pid as the new group name rather
than adding a fairly arbitrary "node_" prefix on the front.
