The VM_RESERVED flag was killed off in commit 314e51b9851b ("mm: kill
vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter"), and replaced by the
proper semantic flags (eg "don't core-dump" etc). But there was a new
use of VM_RESERVED that got missed by the merge.
Fix the remaining use of VM_RESERVED in the vfio_pci driver, replacing
the VM_RESERVED flag with VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

Properly account for I/O in transit before returning from the RESET call.
In the absense of this patch, we could have a situation where the host may
respond to a command that was issued prior to the issuance of the RESET
command at some arbitrary time after responding to the RESET command.
Currently, the host does not do anything with the RESET command.

Currently it is possible to unmap one more block than user requested to
due to the off-by-one error in unmap_region(). This is probably due to
the fact that the end variable despite its name actually points to the
last block to unmap + 1. However in the condition it is handled as the
last block of the region to unmap.
The bug was not previously spotted probably due to the fact that the
region was not zeroed, which has changed with commit
be1dd78de5686c062bb3103f9e86d444a10ed783. With that commit we were able
to corrupt the ext4 file system on 256M scsi_debug device with LBPRZ
enabled using fstrim.
Since the 'end' semantic is the same in several functions there this
commit just fixes the condition to use the 'end' variable correctly in
that context.

Michael Olbrich reported that his test program fails when built with
-O2 -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon, and a kernel which supports v6 and v7
CPUs:
volatile int x = 2;
volatile int64_t y = 2;
int main() {
volatile int a = 0;
volatile int64_t b = 0;
while (1) {
a = (a + x) % (1 << 30);
b = (b + y) % (1 << 30);
assert(a == b);
}
}
and two instances are run. When built for just v7 CPUs, this program
works fine. It uses the "vadd.i64 d19, d18, d16" VFP instruction.
It appears that we do not save the high-16 double VFP registers across
context switches when the kernel is built for v6 CPUs. Fix that.

It appears that performing a "movs pc, lr" to force the kernel into
SVC mode on the OMAP2420 (ARM1136) prevents the platform from booting
correctly (change introduced in 80c59da [ARM: virt: allow the kernel
to be entered in HYP mode]).
While the reason it fails is not understood yet (the same code runs
fine on the OMAP2430, ARM1136 as well), partially revert that change
for platforms that do not enter in HYP mode, preserving the new
feature and restoring a working kernel on the OMAP2420.

This patch tries to shorten the path length of scsi_cmd_to_driver(). As only
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC commands can be submitted without a driver, so we could
avoid the related NULL checking, as long as we make sure we don't use it for
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC type commands. Plus, this fixes a bug where you get
different behaviors from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC commands when a driver is and isn't
attached.

when the capacity of a disk is changed from the virtual machine monitor.
The resize then appears in the kernel log like this:

virtio-scsi needs to report LUNs greater than 256 using the "flat"
format. Because the Linux SCSI layer just maps the SCSI LUN to
an u32, without any parsing, these end up in the range from 16640
to 32767. Fix max_lun to account for the possibility that logical
unit numbers are encoded with the "flat" format.

This change limits the PF/VF driver to 9.5K max jumbo frame size in order
prevent a possible Tx hang in the adapter when sending frames between
pools.
All of the parts in ixgbe support a maximum frame of 15.5K for standard
traffic, however with SR-IOV or DCB enabled they should be limiting the
MTU size to 9.5K. Instead of adding extra checks which would have to
change the MTU when we go into or out of these modes it is preferred to
just use a standard 9.5K MTU limit for all modes so that this extra
overhead can be avoided.

The driver was not setting the number of real Tx queues in the net_device
structure. This caused some serious issues such as Tx hangs and extremely
poor performance with some usages of the driver.
The issue is best observed by running:
iperf -c <host> -P <n>
Where n is greater than one. The greater the value of n the more likely
the problem is to show up.

This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory.
Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding. The
lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation. This is possible
because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use
whatever encoding scheme we want. We just have to make the TLB miss
assembler page table walkers aware of the layout.
set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two
page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes
based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table. In the second regime
we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need
only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping.
We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very
likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added
in the future.
With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

Invalidation sequences are handled in various ways on various
architectures.
One way, which sparc64 uses, is to let the set_*_at() functions accumulate
pending flushes into a per-cpu array. Then the flush_tlb_range() et al.
calls process the pending TLB flushes.
In this regime, the __tlb_remove_*tlb_entry() implementations are
essentially NOPs.
The canonical PTE zap in mm/memory.c is:
ptent = ptep_get_and_clear_full(mm, addr, pte,
tlb->fullmm);
tlb_remove_tlb_entry(tlb, pte, addr);
With a subsequent tlb_flush_mmu() if needed.
Mirror this in the THP PMD zapping using:
orig_pmd = pmdp_get_and_clear(tlb->mm, addr, pmd);
page = pmd_page(orig_pmd);
tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry(tlb, pmd, addr);
And we properly accomodate TLB flush mechanims like the one described
above.

The transparent huge page code passes a PMD pointer in as the third
argument of update_mmu_cache(), which expects a PTE pointer.
This never got noticed because X86 implements update_mmu_cache() as a
macro and thus we don't get any type checking, and X86 is the only
architecture which supports transparent huge pages currently.
Before other architectures can support transparent huge pages properly we
need to add a new interface which will take a PMD pointer as the third
argument rather than a PTE pointer.

We've split up the PTE tables so that they take up half a page instead of
a full page. This is in order to facilitate transparent huge page
support, which works much better if our PMDs cover 4MB instead of 8MB.
What we do is have a one-behind cache for PTE table allocations in the
mm struct.
This logic triggers only on allocations. For example, we don't try to
keep track of free'd up page table blocks in the style that the s390 port
does.
There were only two slightly annoying aspects to this change:
1) Changing pgtable_t to be a "pte_t *". There's all of this special
logic in the TLB free paths that needed adjustments, as did the
PMD populate interfaces.
2) init_new_context() needs to zap the pointer, since the mm struct
just gets copied from the parent on fork.
