Starting with version 4.5, GCC has a new built-in function
__builtin_unreachable() that can be used in places like the kernel's
BUG() where inline assembly is used to transfer control flow. This
eliminated the need for an endless loop in these places.
The patch adds a new macro 'unreachable()' that will expand to either
__builtin_unreachable() or an endless loop depending on the compiler
version.
Change from v1: Simplify unreachable() for non-GCC 4.5 case.

Commit ae21ee65e8bc228416bbcc8a1da01c56a847a60c "PCI: acs p2p upsteram
forwarding enabling" doesn't actually enable ACS.
Add a function to pci core to allow an IOMMU to request that ACS
be enabled. The existing mechanism of using iommu_found() in the pci
core to know when ACS should be enabled doesn't actually work due to
initialization order; iommu has only been detected not initialized.
Have Intel and AMD IOMMUs request ACS, and Xen does as well during early
init of dom0.

Remove 'port_type' field in struct pcie_port_data(), because we can
get port type information from struct pci_dev. With this change, this
patch also does followings:
- Remove struct pcie_port_data because it no longer has any field.
- Remove portdrv private definitions about port type (PCIE_RC_PORT,
PCIE_SW_UPSTREAM_PORT and PCIE_SW_DOWNSTREAM_PORT), and use generic
definitions instead.

This patch cleans up the service irqs initialization as follows:
- Remove 'irq_mode' field in pcie_port_data and related definitions,
which is not needed because we can get the same information from
'is_msix', 'is_msi' and 'pin' fields in struct pci_dev.
- Change the name of 'vectors' argument of assign_interrupt_mode() to
'irqs' because it holds irq numbers actually. People might confuse
it with CPU vector or MSI/MSI-X vector.
- Change function name assign_interrupt_mode() to init_service_irqs()
becasuse we no longer have 'irq_mode' data structure, and new name
is more straightforward (IMO).

This patch modifies scsi_host_template->change_queue_depth so that
it takes an argument indicating why it is being called. This will be
used so that if a LLD needs to do some extra processing when
handling queue fulls or later ramp ups, it can do so.
This is a simple port of the drivers setting a change_queue_depth
callback. In the patch I just have these LLDs adjust the queue depth
if the user was requesting it.

The kernel sometimes makes RPC calls to services that aren't running.
Because the kernel's RPC client always assumes the hard retry semantic
when reconnecting a connection-oriented RPC transport, the underlying
reconnect logic takes a long while to time out, even though the remote
may have responded immediately with ECONNREFUSED.
In certain cases, like upcalls to our local rpcbind daemon, or for NFS
mount requests, we'd like the kernel to fail immediately if the remote
service isn't reachable. This allows another transport to be tried
immediately, or the pending request can be abandoned quickly.
Introduce a per-request flag which controls how call_transmit_status()
behaves when request transmission fails because the server cannot be
reached.
We don't want soft connection semantics to apply to other errors. The
default case of the switch statement in call_transmit_status() no
longer falls through; the fall through code is copied to the default
case, and a "break;" is added.
The transport's connection re-establishment timeout is also ignored for
such requests. We want the request to fail immediately, so the
reconnect delay is skipped. Additionally, we don't want a connect
failure here to further increase the reconnect timeout value, since
this request will not be retried.

There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2
metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id
in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each
time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal
id of the node which is performing the modification.
The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to
debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the
last to modify a particular metadata block.
Since the field is updated before the block is written into
the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which
is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this
is the journal header block, which might have a different node's
id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the
cluster.
Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered
it, via the journal header.
The other field in the metadata header could potentially be
used to hold information about what kind of operation was
performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each
transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll
know that the information (where it exists) is reliable.
I did consider using the other field to hold the journal
sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write
the modified data into the journal and not the original
data, this gives no information as to what action caused the
modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better
use for those 64 bits in the future.

The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device
prior to putting metadata down. However, not all devices return zeroed
blocks after a discard. Some drives return stale data, potentially
containing old superblocks. It is therefore important to know whether
discarded blocks are properly zeroed.
Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether
zeroes are returned after a discard operation. Implement a block level
interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and
queried via a new block device ioctl.

Add support for the ATA TRIM command in libata. We translate a WRITE SAME 16
command with the unmap bit set into an ATA TRIM command and export enough
information in READ CAPACITY 16 and the block limits EVPD page so that the new
SCSI layer discard support will driver this for us.
Note that I hardcode the WRITE_SAME_16 opcode for now as the patch to introduce
the symbolic is not in 2.6.32 yet but only in the SCSI tree - as soon as it is
merged we can fix it up to properly use the symbolic name.

If ATA device failed FLUSH, it means that the device failed to write
out some amount of data and the error needs to be reported to upper
layers. As retries can't recover the lost data, FLUSH failures need to
be reported immediately in general.
However, if FLUSH fails due to transmission errors, the FLUSH needs to
be retried; otherwise, filesystems may switch to RO mode and/or raid
array may drop a drive for a random transmission glitch.
This condition can be rather easily reproduced on certain ahci
controllers which go through a PHY event after powersave mode switch +
ext4 combination. Powersave mode switch is often closely followed by
flush from the filesystem failing the FLUSH with ATA bus error which
makes the filesystem code believe that data is lost and drop to RO
mode. This was reported in the following bugzilla bug.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14543
This patch makes libata EH retry FLUSH if it wasn't failed by the
device.
