In function dsi_compute_interleave_lp(), the escape clock/LP clock time period
is calculated incorrectly. The escape clock/LP clock is calculated as:
LP Clock(Hz) = DSI_FCLK(Hz) / lp_clk_div
Since we are calculating the time period of LP clock, the LP clock divider
should be multiplied with the time period of DSI_FCLK.
Calculating incorrect value of txclkesc results in incorrect calculation of LP
interleaving parameters, it also creates a possibility of a divide by zero
error.

Commit 4dbd8f63f07a (regulator: gpio-regulator: Set the smallest
voltage/current in the specified range) forgot to set the newly
introduced best_val.
Therefore it stayed always at INT_MAX thus breaking the setting
of the voltage.
Included is also an init value for target, as warnings about
a possibly uninitialised target started appearing with this fix.

The devm_kzalloc function eliminates the need for manual resource releasing
and simplify error handling. Resources allocated by devm_* are freed
automatically on driver detach.
Thus adding kfree calls here will introduce double free bug.
The memory of desc array and the pointers to the rdev[] are allocated by
devm_kzalloc call for struct palmas_pmic.
struct palmas_pmic {
struct palmas *palmas;
struct device *dev;
struct regulator_desc desc[PALMAS_NUM_REGS];
struct regulator_dev *rdev[PALMAS_NUM_REGS];
struct mutex mutex;
int smps123;
int smps457;
int range[PALMAS_REG_SMPS10];
};
Which means we should not call kfree for pmic->rdev and pmic->desc.

pm_runtime_put_sync() in dss_runtime_put() returns -EBUSY when any child
of dss is still enabled. This happens, for example, when a display
output is enabled and one dumps the clocks via debugfs. This causes
dss_runtime_get & put to be called.
While I couldn't find anything about this in the documentation and it
wasn't immediately clear from runtime_pm code, it looks to me that
pm_runtime_put_sync() returns -EBUSY to inform that things went fine,
but the device could not be turned off as there are still child devices
that are enabled. This is not a problem.
This patch skips the WARN_ON if pm_runtime_put_sync() returns -EBUSY.

cfq may be built w/ or w/o blkcg support depending on
CONFIG_CFQ_CGROUP_IOSCHED. If blkcg support is disabled, most of
related code is ifdef'd out but some part is left dangling -
blkcg_policy_cfq is left zero-filled and blkcg_policy_[un]register()
calls are made on it.
Feeding zero filled policy to blkcg_policy_register() is incorrect and
triggers the following WARN_ON() if CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP &&
!CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.

Commit e605b743f33d ("IB/mlx4: Increase the number of vectors (EQs)
available for ULPs") didn't handle correctly the case where there
aren't enough MSI-X vectors to increase the number of EQs, so only the
legacy EQs are allocated. This results in an attempt to memset() to
zero the EQ table which was never allocated and a kernel crash.
Fix this by checking in the teardown flow if the table of EQs was ever
allocated. Also remove some unneeded setting to zero of the EQ
related fields in struct mlx4_ib_dev.

Initial IVB support went into turbostat in Linux-3.1:
553575f1ae048aa44682b46b3c51929a0b3ad337
(tools turbostat: recognize and run properly on IVB)
However, when running on IVB, turbostat would fail
to report the new couters added with SNB, c7, pc2 and pc7.
So in scenarios where these counters are non-zero on IVB,
turbostat would report erroneous residencey results.
In particular c7 time would be added to c1 time,
since c1 time is calculated as "that which is left over".
Also, turbostat reports MHz capabilities when passed
the "-v" option, and it would incorrectly report 133MHz
bclk instead of 100MHz bclk for IVB, which would inflate
GHz reported with that option.
This patch is a backport of a fix already included in turbostat v2.

15aaa34654831e98dd76f7738b6c7f5d05a66430
(tools turbostat: reduce measurement overhead due to IPIs)
In the use-case where turbostat forks a child program,
that change had the un-intended side-effect of binding
the child to the last cpu in the system.
This change removed the binding before forking the child.
This is a back-port of a fix already included in turbostat v2.

This reverts commit 5ceb9ce6fe9462a298bb2cd5c9f1ca6cb80a0199.
That commit seems to be the cause of the mm compation list corruption
issues that Dave Jones reported. The locking (or rather, absense
there-of) is dubious, as is the use of the 'page' variable once it has
been found to be outside the pageblock range.
So revert it for now, we can re-visit this for 3.6. If we even need to:
as Minchan Kim says, "The patch wasn't a bug fix and even test workload
was very theoretical".

New tmpfs use of !PageUptodate pages for fallocate() is triggering the
WARNING: at mm/page-writeback.c:1990 when __set_page_dirty_nobuffers()
is called from migrate_page_copy() for compaction.
It is anomalous that migration should use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers()
on an address_space that does not participate in dirty and writeback
accounting; and this has also been observed to insert surprising dirty
tags into a tmpfs radix_tree, despite tmpfs not using tags at all.
We should probably give migrate_page_copy() a better way to preserve the
tag and migrate accounting info, when mapping_cap_account_dirty(). But
that needs some more work: so in the interim, avoid the warning by using
a simple SetPageDirty on PageSwapBacked pages.

The comment above it says "Stat data, not accessed from path walking",
but in fact some of inode fields we use for the common stat data was way
down at the end of the inode, causing unnecessary cache misses for the
common stat operations.
The inode structure is pretty big, and this can change padding depending
on field width, but at least on the common 64-bit configurations this
doesn't change the size. Some of our inode layout has historically been
to tro to avoid unnecessary padding fields, but cache locality is at
least as important for layout, if not more.
Noticed by looking at kernel profiles, and noticing that the "i_blkbits"
access stood out like a sore thumb.

Fix the issue of C_CAN interrupts getting disabled forever when canconfig
utility is used multiple times. According to NAPI usage we disable all
the hardware interrupts in ISR and re-enable them in poll(). Current
implementation calls napi_enable() after hardware interrupts are enabled.
If we get any interrupts between these two steps then we do not process
those interrupts because napi is not enabled. Mostly these interrupts
come because of STATUS is not 0x7 or ERROR interrupts. If napi_enable()
happens before HW interrupts enabled then c_can_poll() function will be
called eventual re-enabling.
This patch moves the napi_enable() call before interrupts enabled.

This patch fixes an interrupt thrash issue with c_can driver.
In c_can_isr() function interrupts are disabled and enabled only in
c_can_poll() function. c_can_isr() & c_can_poll() both read the
irqstatus flag. However, irqstatus is always read as 0 in c_can_poll()
because all C_CAN interrupts are disabled in c_can_isr(). This causes
all interrupts to be re-enabled in c_can_poll() which in turn causes
another interrupt since the event is not really handled. This keeps
happening causing a flood of interrupts.
To fix this, read the irqstatus register in isr and use the same cached
value in the poll function.

This patch fixes an issue with transmit routine, which causes
"can_put_echo_skb: BUG! echo_skb is occupied!" message when
using "cansequence -p" on D_CAN controller.
In c_can driver, while transmitting packets tx_echo flag holds
the no of can frames put for transmission into the hardware.
As the comment above c_can_do_tx() indicates, if we find any packet
which is not transmitted then we should stop looking for more.
In the current implementation this is not taken care of causing the
said message.
Also, fix the condition used to find if the packet is transmitted
or not. Current code skips the first tx message object and ends up
checking one extra invalid object.
While at it, fix the comment on top of c_can_do_tx() to use the
terminology "packet" instead of "package" since it is more
standard.

Convert to use O_DSYNC for all cases at FILEIO backend creation time to
avoid the extra syncing of pure timestamp updates with legacy O_SYNC during
default operation as recommended by hch. Continue to do this independently of
Write Cache Enable (WCE) bit, as WCE=0 is currently the default for all backend
devices and enabled by user on per device basis via attrib/emulate_write_cache.
This patch drops the now unnecessary fd_buffered_io= token usage that was
originally signalling when to explictly disable O_SYNC at backend creation
time for buffered I/O operation. This can end up being dangerous for a number
of reasons during physical node failure, so go ahead and drop this option
for now when O_DSYNC is used as the default.
Also allow explict FUA WRITEs -> vfs_fsync_range() call to function in
fd_execute_cmd() independently of WCE bit setting.

thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>
Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools
Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:
i) Incremental backups.
By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
the data doesn't change while we back it up.
A short proof of concept script can be found here:
https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb
ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.
iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.
iv) Asyncronous replication.

Use dedicated caches prefixed with a "dm_" name rather than relying on
kmalloc mempools backed by generic slab caches so the memory usage of
thin provisioning (and any leaks) can be accounted for independently.

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.
With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.
Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.
Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available,
set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying.
If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is
getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right
away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a
few seconds or even several minutes.

Move multipath structure's 'lock' and 'queue_size' members to eliminate
two 4-byte holes. Also use a bit within a single unsigned int for each
existing flag (saves 8-bytes). This allows future flags to be added
without each consuming an unsigned int.
