070604040b Btrfs: cleanup xattr code
Andrew's review of the xattr code revealed some minor issues that this patch
addresses.  Just an error return fix, got rid of a useless statement and
commented one of the trickier parts of __btrfs_getxattr.

c071fcfdb6 Btrfs: fix ioctl arg size (userland incompatible change!)
The structure used to send device in btrfs ioctl calls was not
properly aligned, and so 32 bit ioctls would not work properly on
64 bit kernels.

We could fix this with compat ioctls, but we're just one byte away
and it doesn't make sense at this stage to carry about the compat ioctls
forever at this stage in the project.

This patch brings the ioctl arg up to an evenly aligned 4k.

1d9e2ae949 Btrfs: Clear the device->running_pending flag before bailing on congestion
Btrfs maintains a queue of async bio submissions so the checksumming
threads don't have to wait on get_request_wait.  In order to avoid
extra wakeups, this code has a running_pending flag that is used
to tell new submissions they don't need to wake the thread.

When the threads notice congestion on a single device, they
may decide to requeue the job and move on to other devices.  This
makes sure the running_pending flag is cleared before the
job is requeued.

It should help avoid IO stalls by making sure the task is woken up
when new submissions come in.

e293e97e36 Btrfs: explicitly mark the tree log root for writeback
Each subvolume has an extent_state_tree used to mark metadata
that needs to be sent to disk while syncing the tree.  This is
used in addition to the dirty bits on the pages themselves so that
a single subvolume can be sent to disk efficiently in disk order.

Normally this marking happens in btrfs_alloc_free_block, which also does
special recording of dirty tree blocks for the tree log roots.

Yan Zheng noticed that when the root of the log tree is allocated, it is added
to the wrong writeback list.  The fix used here is to explicitly set
it dirty as part of tree log creation.

07d400a6df Btrfs: tree logging checksum fixes
This patch contains following things.

1) Limit the max size of btrfs_ordered_sum structure to PAGE_SIZE.  This
struct is kmalloced so we want to keep it reasonable.

2) Replace copy_extent_csums by btrfs_lookup_csums_range.  This was
duplicated code in tree-log.c

3) Remove replay_one_csum. csum items are replayed at the same time as
   replaying file extents. This guarantees we only replay useful csums.

4) nbytes accounting fix.

180591bcfe Btrfs: Use btrfs_join_transaction to avoid deadlocks during snapshot creation
Snapshot creation happens at a specific time during transaction commit.  We
need to make sure the code called by snapshot creation doesn't wait
for the running transaction to commit.

This changes btrfs_delete_inode and finish_pending_snaps to use
btrfs_join_transaction instead of btrfs_start_transaction to avoid deadlocks.

It would be better if btrfs_delete_inode didn't use the join, but the
call path that triggers it is:

btrfs_commit_transaction->create_pending_snapshots->
create_pending_snapshot->btrfs_lookup_dentry->
fixup_tree_root_location->btrfs_read_fs_root->
btrfs_read_fs_root_no_name->btrfs_orphan_cleanup->iput

This will be fixed in a later patch by moving the orphan cleanup to the
cleaner thread.

1f3c79a28c Btrfs: Fix free block discard calls down to the block layer
This is a patch to fix discard semantic to make Btrfs work with FTL and SSD.
We can improve FTL's performance by telling it which sectors are freed by file
system. But if we don't tell FTL the information of free sectors in proper
time, the transaction mechanism of Btrfs will be destroyed and Btrfs could not
roll back the previous transaction under the power loss condition.

There are some problems in the old implementation:
1, In __free_extent(), the pinned down extents should not be discarded.
2, In free_extents(), the free extents are all pinned, so they need to
be discarded in transaction committing time instead of free_extents().
3, The reserved extent used by log tree should be discard too.

This patch change discard behavior as follows:
1, For the extents which need to be free at once,
   we discard them in update_block_group().
2, Delay discarding the pinned extent in btrfs_finish_extent_commit()
   when committing transaction.
3, Remove discarding from free_extents() and __free_extent()
4, Add discard interface into btrfs_free_reserved_extent()
5, Discard sectors before updating the free space cache, otherwise,
   FTL will destroy file system data.

40f15ad8aa x86: disable X86_PTRACE_BTS
there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28:

  config X86_PTRACE_BTS
  bool "Branch Trace Store"

it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into
a new task without clearing it.

Fixes exist but they came too late:

  c5dee61: x86, bts: memory accounting
  bf53de9: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling

and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not
tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and
reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS
facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code.

d519c8d9cc edac: fix edac core deadlock when removing a device
When deleting an edac device, we have to wait for its edac_dev.work to be
completed before deleting the whole edac_dev structure.  Since we have no
idea which work in current edac_poller's workqueue is the work we are
conerned about, we wait for all work in the edac_poller's workqueue to be
proceseed.  This is done via flush_cpu_workqueue() which inserts a
wq_barrier into the tail of the workqueue and then sleeping on the
completion of this wq_barrier.  The edac_poller will wake up sleepers when
it is found.

EDAC core creates only one kernel worker thread, edac_poller, to run the
works of all current edac devices.  They share the same callback function
of edac_device_workq_function(), which would grab the mutex of
device_ctls_mutex first before it checks the device.  This is exactly
where edac_poller and rmmod would have a great chance to deadlock.

In below call trace of rmmod > ... >
edac_device_del_device >
edac_device_workq_teardown > flush_workqueue > flush_cpu_workqueue,

device_ctls_mutex would have already been grabbed by
edac_device_del_device().  So, on one hand rmmod would sleep on the
completion of a wq_barrier, holding device_ctls_mutex; on the other hand
edac_poller would be blocked on the same mutex when it's running any one
of works of existing edac evices(Note, this edac_dev.work is likely to be
totally irrelevant to the one that is being removed right now)and never
would have a chance to run the work of above wq_barrier to wake rmmod up.

edac_device_workq_teardown() should not be called within the critical
region of device_ctls_mutex.  Just like is done in edac_pci_del_device()
and edac_mc_del_mc(), where edac_pci_workq_teardown() and
edac_mc_workq_teardown() are called after related mutex are released.

Moreover, an edac_dev.work should check first if it is being removed.  If
this is the case, then it should bail out immediately.  Since not all of
existing edac devices are to be removed, this "shutting flag" should be
contained to edac device being removed.  The current edac_dev.op_state can
be used to serve this purpose.

The original deadlock problem and the solution have been witnessed and
tested on actual hardware.  Without the solution, rmmod an edac driver
would result in below deadlock:

root@localhost:/root> rmmod mv64x60_edac
EDAC DEBUG: mv64x60_dma_err_remove()

9ecab6e5bf drivers/ide/{cs5530.c,sc1200.c}: Move a dereference below a NULL test
In each case, if the NULL test is necessary, then the dereference should be
moved below the NULL test.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@@
type T;
expression E;
identifier i,fld;
statement S;
@@

- T i = E->fld;
+ T i;
  ... when != E
      when != i
  if (E == NULL) S
+ i = E->fld;
// </smpl>

3d44cc3e01 Null pointer deref with hrtimer_try_to_cancel()
Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW

commit 2d42244ae7 (clocksource:
introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only
available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time.

The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created
with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes
the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted
either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes.

Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the
posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.
