01d39ce82b NFSv4.1: Remove redundant reference to the pnfs_layout_hdr
Each layout segment already holds a reference to the pnfs_layout_hdr,
so there is no need to hold an extra reference that is released once
the last layout segment is freed.

Ensure that pnfs_find_alloc_layout() always returns a reference
to the pnfs_layout_hdr, which will be matched by the final call to
pnfs_put_layout_hdr() in pnfs_update_layout().

965938b83b NFSv4.1: Get rid of pNFS layout state "NFS_LAYOUT_INVALID"
In all cases where we set NFS_LAYOUT_INVALID, we also set NFS_LAYOUT_DESTROYED.
Furthermore, in all cases where we test for NFS_LAYOUT_INVALID, we should
also be testing for NFS_LAYOUT_DESTROYED, since the latter means that
we hold no valid layout segments.
Ergo the two are redundant.

1dfed2737d NFSv4.1: pNFS data servers may be temporarily offline
In cases where the pNFS data server is just temporarily out of service,
we want to mark it as such, and then try again later. Typically that will
be in cases of network connection errors etc.
This patch allows us to mark the devices as being "unavailable" for such
transient errors, and will make them available for retries after a
2 minute timeout period.

05990d1bf2 NFS: Fix fdatasync/fsync() when confronted with a server reboot
If the server reboots before it can commit the unstable writes to disk,
then nfs_commit_release_pages() will detect this when it compares the
verifier returned by COMMIT to the one returned by WRITE. When this
happens, the client needs to resend those writes in order to guarantee
that they make it to stable storage.

This patch adds a signalling mechanism to notify fsync() that it
needs to retry all writes before it can exit.

62d98c9354 NFS4: avoid underflow when converting error to pointer.
In nfs4_create_sec_client, 'flavor' can hold a negative error
code (returned from nfs4_negotiate_security), even though it
is an 'enum' and hence unsigned.

The code is careful to cast it to an (int) before testing if it
is negative, however it doesn't cast to an (int) before calling
ERR_PTR.

On a machine where "void*" is larger than "int", this results in
the unsigned equivalent of -1 (e.g. 0xffffffff) being converted
to a pointer.  Subsequent code determines that this is not
negative, and so  dereferences it with predictable results.

So: cast 'flavor' to a (signed) int before passing to ERR_PTR.

6889125b8b cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU
powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the
cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the
kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed.  The
function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is
still broken.  Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers
to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring
BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on
fidvid_mutex and sleeps.

It is unclear why this bug is being reported now.  Duncan says it
appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on
3.5.  Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool
instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional
change.  Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to
trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting.  Maybe something made
contention on fidvid_mutex more likely?  I don't know.

This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu
isn't the same as the current one.  The code assumes that
cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells
me is the case.

stable: ed48ece27c ("workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using
        system_wq") should be applied before this; otherwise, the
        behavior could be horrible.

ed48ece27c workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient.  It
creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the
kthread die on each invocation.

Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no
advantage of doing this.  Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
which makes it simpler and way more efficient.

stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a
        workqueue related bug in cpufreq/powernow-k8.  AFAICS, this
        shouldn't break other existing users.

6dafab6b13 md: make sure metadata is updated when spares are activated or removed.
It isn't always necessary to update the metadata when spares are
removed as the presence-or-not of a spare isn't really important to
the integrity of an array.
Also activating a spare doesn't always require updating the metadata
as the update on 'recovery-completed' is usually sufficient.

However the introduction of 'replacement' devices have made these
transitions sometimes more important.  For example the 'Replacement'
flag isn't cleared until the original device is removed, so we need
to ensure a metadata update after that 'spare' is removed.

So set MD_CHANGE_DEVS whenever a spare is activated or removed, to
complement the current situation where it is set when a spare is added
or a device is failed (or a number of other less common situations).

This is suitable for -stable as out-of-data metadata could lead
to data corruption.
This is only relevant for 3.3 and later 9when 'replacement' as
introduced.

e5c86471f9 md/raid5: fix calculate of 'degraded' when a replacement becomes active.
When a replacement device becomes active, we mark the device that it
replaces as 'faulty' so that it can subsequently get removed.
However 'calc_degraded' only pays attention to the primary device, not
the replacement, so the array appears to become degraded, which is
wrong.

So teach 'calc_degraded' to consider any replacement if a primary
device is faulty.

This is suitable for -stable as an incorrect 'degraded' value can
confuse md and could lead to data corruption.
This is only relevant for 3.3 and later.

a852d7b8a0 Revert "md/raid5: For odirect-write performance, do not set STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE."
This reverts commit 895e3c5c58.

While this patch seemed like a good idea and did help some workloads,
it hurts other workloads.
Large sequential O_DIRECT writes were faster,
Small random O_DIRECT writes were slower.

Other changes (batching RAID5 writes) have improved the sequential
writes using a different mechanism, so the net result of this patch
is definitely negative.  So revert it.

b161dfa693 vfs: dcache: use DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED instead of DCACHE_DISCONNECTED in d_kill()
IBM reported a soft lockup after applying the fix for the rename_lock
deadlock.  Commit c83ce989cb ("VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression
in kernel 2.6.38") was found to be the culprit.

The nfs sillyrename fix used DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to indicate that the
dentry was killed.  This flag can be set on non-killed dentries too,
which results in infinite retries when trying to traverse the dentry
tree.

This patch introduces a separate flag: DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED, which is
only set in d_kill() and makes try_to_ascend() test only this flag.

IBM reported successful test results with this patch.

2453f5f992 cciss: fix handling of protocol error
If a command completes with a status of CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR, this
information should be conveyed to the SCSI mid layer, not dropped
on the floor.  Unlike a similar bug in the hpsa driver, this bug
only affects tape drives and CD and DVD ROM drives in the cciss
driver, and to induce it, you have to disconnect (or damage) a
cable, so it is not a very likely scenario (which would explain
why the bug has gone undetected for the last 10 years.)
