Pull UBIFS free space fix-up bugfix from Artem Bityutskiy:
"It's been reported already twice recently:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-May/041408.html
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-June/042422.html
and we finally have the fix. I am quite confident the fix is correct
because I could reproduce the problem with nandsim and verify the fix.
It was also verified by Iwo (the reporter).
I am also confident that this is OK to merge the fix so late because
this patch affects only the fixup functionality, which is not used by
most users."

During a failure in transport_add_device_to_core_hba() code, we called
destroy_workqueue(dev->tmr_wq) before ->tmr_wq was allocated which leads
to an oops.

This patch fixes a crash
tun_chr_close -> netdev_run_todo -> tun_free_netdev -> sk_release_kernel ->
sock_release -> iput(SOCK_INODE(sock))
introduced by commit 1ab5ecb90cb6a3df1476e052f76a6e8f6511cb3d
The problem is that this socket is embedded in struct tun_struct, it has
no inode, iput is called on invalid inode, which modifies invalid memory
and optionally causes a crash.
sock_release also decrements sockets_in_use, this causes a bug that
"sockets: used" field in /proc/*/net/sockstat keeps on decreasing when
creating and closing tun devices.
This patch introduces a flag SOCK_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED that instructs
sock_release to not free the inode and not decrement sockets_in_use,
fixing both memory corruption and sockets_in_use underflow.
It should be backported to 3.3 an 3.4 stabke.

Modern TCP stack highly depends on tcp_write_timer() having a small
latency, but current implementation doesn't exactly meet the
expectations.
When a timer fires but finds the socket is owned by the user, it rearms
itself for an additional delay hoping next run will be more
successful.
tcp_write_timer() for example uses a 50ms delay for next try, and it
defeats many attempts to get predictable TCP behavior in term of
latencies.
Use the recently introduced tcp_release_cb(), so that the user owning
the socket will call various handlers right before socket release.
This will permit us to post a followup patch to address the
tcp_tso_should_defer() syndrome (some deferred packets have to wait
RTO timer to be transmitted, while cwnd should allow us to send them
sooner)

The Janz VMOD-ICAN3 hardware has support for one shot packet
transmission. This means that a packet will be attempted to be sent
once, with no automatic retries.
The SocketCAN core has a controller-wide setting for this mode:
CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOT. The Janz VMOD-ICAN3 hardware supports this flag
on a per-packet level, but the SocketCAN core does not.

If the bus error quota is set to infinite and the host CPU cannot keep
up, the Janz VMOD-ICAN3 firmware will stop responding to control
messages until the controller is reset.
The firmware will automatically stop sending bus error messages when the
quota is reached, and will only resume sending bus error messages when
the quota is re-set to a positive value.
This limitation is worked around by setting the bus error quota to one
message, and then re-setting the quota to one message every time a bus
error message is received. By doing this, the firmware never stops
responding to control messages. The CAN bus can be reset without a
hard-reset of the controller card.

The Janz VMOD-ICAN3 firmware does not support any sort of TX-done
notification or interrupt. The driver previously used the hardware
loopback to attempt to work around this deficiency, but this caused all
sockets to receive all messages, even if CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS is off.
Using the new function ican3_cmp_echo_skb(), we can drop the loopback
messages and return the original skbs. This fixes the issues with
CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS.
A private skb queue is used to store the echo skbs. This avoids the need
for any index management.
Due to a lack of TX-error interrupts, bus errors are permanently
enabled, and are used as a TX-error notification. This is used to drop
an echo skb when transmission fails. Bus error packets are not generated
if the user has not enabled bus error reporting.

The error and byte counter statistics were being incremented
incorrectly. For example, a TX error would be counted both in tx_errors
and rx_errors.
This corrects the problem so that tx_errors and rx_errors are only
incremented for errors caused by packets sent to the bus. Error packets
generated by the driver are not counted.
The byte counters are only increased for packets which are actually
transmitted or received from the bus. Error packets generated by the
driver are not counted.

We can't guarantee that REQ_DISCARD on dm-mirror zeroes the data even if
the underlying disks support zero on discard. So this patch sets
ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.
For example, if the mirror is in the process of resynchronizing, it may
happen that kcopyd reads a piece of data, then discard is sent on the
same area and then kcopyd writes the piece of data to another leg.
Consequently, the data is not zeroed.
The flag was made available by commit 983c7db347db8ce2d8453fd1d89b7a4bb6920d56
(dm crypt: always disable discard_zeroes_data).

When process_discard receives a partial discard that doesn't cover a
full block, it sends this discard down to that block. Unfortunately, the
block can be shared and the discard would corrupt the other snapshots
sharing this block.
This patch detects block sharing and ends the discard with success when
sending it to the shared block.
The above change means that if the device supports discard it can't be
guaranteed that a discard request zeroes data. Therefore, we set
ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.
Thin target discard support with this bug arrived in commit
104655fd4dcebd50068ef30253a001da72e3a081 (dm thin: support discards).

This patch fixes a crash when a discard request is sent during mirror
recovery.
Firstly, some background. Generally, the following sequence happens during
mirror synchronization:
- function do_recovery is called
- do_recovery calls dm_rh_recovery_prepare
- dm_rh_recovery_prepare uses a semaphore to limit the number
simultaneously recovered regions (by default the semaphore value is 1,
so only one region at a time is recovered)
- dm_rh_recovery_prepare calls __rh_recovery_prepare,
__rh_recovery_prepare asks the log driver for the next region to
recover. Then, it sets the region state to DM_RH_RECOVERING. If there
are no pending I/Os on this region, the region is added to
quiesced_regions list. If there are pending I/Os, the region is not
added to any list. It is added to the quiesced_regions list later (by
dm_rh_dec function) when all I/Os finish.
- when the region is on quiesced_regions list, there are no I/Os in
flight on this region. The region is popped from the list in
dm_rh_recovery_start function. Then, a kcopyd job is started in the
recover function.
- when the kcopyd job finishes, recovery_complete is called. It calls
dm_rh_recovery_end. dm_rh_recovery_end adds the region to
recovered_regions or failed_recovered_regions list (depending on
whether the copy operation was successful or not).
The above mechanism assumes that if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING
state, no new I/Os are started on this region. When I/O is started,
dm_rh_inc_pending is called, which increases reg->pending count. When
I/O is finished, dm_rh_dec is called. It decreases reg->pending count.
If the count is zero and the region was in DM_RH_RECOVERING state,
dm_rh_dec adds it to the quiesced_regions list.
Consequently, if we call dm_rh_inc_pending/dm_rh_dec while the region is
in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, it could be added to quiesced_regions list
multiple times or it could be added to this list when kcopyd is copying
data (it is assumed that the region is not on any list while kcopyd does
its jobs). This results in memory corruption and crash.
There already exist bypasses for REQ_FLUSH requests: REQ_FLUSH requests
do not belong to any region, so they are always added to the sync list
in do_writes. dm_rh_inc_pending does not increase count for REQ_FLUSH
requests. In mirror_end_io, dm_rh_dec is never called for REQ_FLUSH
requests. These bypasses avoid the crash possibility described above.
These bypasses were improperly implemented for REQ_DISCARD when
the mirror target gained discard support in commit
5fc2ffeabb9ee0fc0e71ff16b49f34f0ed3d05b4 (dm raid1: support discard).
In do_writes, REQ_DISCARD requests is always added to the sync queue and
immediately dispatched (even if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING). However,
dm_rh_inc and dm_rh_dec is called for REQ_DISCARD resusts. So it violates the
rule that no I/Os are started on DM_RH_RECOVERING regions, and causes the list
corruption described above.
This patch changes it so that REQ_DISCARD requests follow the same path
as REQ_FLUSH. This avoids the crash.

This patch adds support for a second clock to the flexcan driver. On
modern freescale ARM cores like the imx53 and imx6q two clocks ("ipg"
and "per") must be enabled in order to access the CAN core.
In the original driver, the clock was requested without specifying the
connection id, further all mainline ARM archs with flexcan support
(imx28, imx25, imx35) register their flexcan clock without a
connection id, too.
This patch first renames the existing clk variable to clk_ipg and
converts it to devm for easier error handling. The connection id "ipg"
is added to the devm_clk_get() call. Then a second clock "per" is
requested. As all archs don't specify a connection id, both clk_get
return the same clock. This ensures compatibility to existing flexcan
support and adds support for imx53 at the same time.
After this patch hits mainline, the archs may give their existing
flexcan clock the "ipg" connection id and implement a dummy "per"
clock.
This patch has been tested on imx28 (unmodified clk tree) and on imx53
with a seperate "ipg" and "per" clock.

The current virtual timer interface is inherently per-cpu and hard to
use. The sole user of the interface is appldata which uses it to execute
a function after a specific amount of cputime has been used over all cpus.
Rework the virtual timer interface to hook into the cputime accounting.
This makes the interface independent from the CPU timer interrupts, and
makes the virtual timers global as opposed to per-cpu.
Overall the code is greatly simplified. The downside is that the accuracy
is not as good as the original implementation, but it is still good enough
for appldata.

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.
Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

It is very common for the end of the file to be unaligned on
stripe size. But since we know it's beyond file's end then
the XOR should be preformed with all zeros.
Old code used to just read zeros out of the OSD devices, which is a great
waist. But what scares me more about this situation is that, we now have
pages attached to the file's mapping that are beyond i_size. I don't
like the kind of bugs this calls for.
Fix both birds, by returning a global zero_page, if offset is beyond
i_size.
TODO:
Change the API to ->__r4w_get_page() so a NULL can be
returned without being considered as error, since XOR API
treats NULL entries as zero_pages.

it would proceed with a partial/short request, for the sake of
forward progress.
Since this crashes NFS-core and exofs is just fine without it just
remove this contraption, and fail.
TODO:
Support real forward progress with some reserved allocations
of resources, such as mem pools and/or bio_sets

In RAID_5/6 We used to not permit an IO that it's end
byte is not stripe_size aligned and spans more than one stripe.
.i.e the caller must check if after submission the actual
transferred bytes is shorter, and would need to resubmit
a new IO with the remainder.
Exofs supports this, and NFS was supposed to support this
as well with it's short write mechanism. But late testing has
exposed a CRASH when this is used with none-RPC layout-drivers.
The change at NFS is deep and risky, in it's place the fix
at ORE to lift the limitation is actually clean and simple.
So here it is below.
The principal here is that in the case of unaligned IO on
both ends, beginning and end, we will send two read requests
one like old code, before the calculation of the first stripe,
and also a new site, before the calculation of the last stripe.
If any "boundary" is aligned or the complete IO is within a single
stripe. we do a single read like before.
The code is clean and simple by splitting the old _read_4_write
into 3 even parts:
1._read_4_write_first_stripe
2. _read_4_write_last_stripe
3. _read_4_write_execute
And calling 1+3 at the same place as before. 2+3 before last
stripe, and in the case of all in a single stripe then 1+2+3
is preformed additively.
Why did I not think of it before. Well I had a strike of
genius because I have stared at this code for 2 years, and did
not find this simple solution, til today. Not that I did not try.
This solution is much better for NFS than the previous supposedly
solution because the short write was dealt with out-of-band after
IO_done, which would cause for a seeky IO pattern where as in here
we execute in order. At both solutions we do 2 separate reads, only
here we do it within a single IO request. (And actually combine two
writes into a single submission)
NFS/exofs code need not change since the ORE API communicates the new
shorter length on return, what will happen is that this case would not
occur anymore.
hurray!!
[Stable this is an NFS bug since 3.2 Kernel should apply cleanly]
