4f54b0e948 md: notify userspace on 'stop' events
This additional notification to 'array_state' is needed to allow the
monitor application to learn about stop events via sysfs.  The
sysfs_notify("sync_action") call that comes at the end of do_md_stop()
(via md_new_event) is insufficient since the 'sync_action' attribute has
been removed by this point.

(Seems like a sysfs-notify-on-removal patch is a better fix.  Currently
removal updates the event count but does not wake up waiters)

09a44cc150 md: notify userspace on 'write-pending' changes to array_state
When an array enters write pending, 'array_state' changes, so we must be
sure to sysfs_notify.

Also, when waiting for user-space to acknowledge 'write-pending' by
marking the metadata as dirty, we don't want to wait for MD_CHANGE_DEVS to
be cleared as that might not happen.  So explicity test for the bits that
we are really interested in.

698b18c1e8 md: raid1: Fix restoration of bio between failed read and write.
When performing a "recovery" or "check" pass on a RAID1 array, we read
from each device and possible, if there is a difference or a read error,
write back to some devices.

We use the same 'bio' for both read and write, resetting various fields
between the two operations.

We forgot to reset bv_offset and bv_len however.  These are often left
unchanged, but in the case where there is an IO error one or two sectors
into a page, they are changed.

This results in correctable errors not being corrected properly.  It does
not result in any data corruption.

6be9d49401 md: md: raid5 rate limit error printk
Last night we had scsi problems and a hardware raid unit was offlined
during heavy i/o.  While this happened we got for about 3 minutes a huge
number messages like these

Apr 12 03:36:07 pfs1n14 kernel: [197510.696595] raid5:md7: read error not correctable (sector 2993096568 on sdj2).

I guess the high error rate is responsible for not scheduling other events
- during this time the system was not pingable and in the end also other
devices run into scsi command timeouts causing problems on these unrelated
devices as well.

84255d1018 md: fix possible oops when removing a bitmap from an active array
It is possible to add a write-intent bitmap to an active array, or remove
the bitmap that is there.

When we do with the 'quiesce' the array, which causes make_request to
block in "wait_barrier()".

However we are sampling the value of "mddev->bitmap" before the
wait_barrier call, and using it afterwards.  This can result in using a
bitmap structure that has been freed.

03fb0bce01 fuse: fix bdi naming conflict
Fuse allocates a separate bdi for each filesystem, and registers them
in sysfs with "MAJOR:MINOR" of sb->s_dev (st_dev).  This works fine for
anon devices normally used by fuse, but can conflict with an already
registered BDI for "fuseblk" filesystems, where sb->s_dev represents a
real block device.  In particularl this happens if a non-partitioned
device is being mounted.

Fix by registering with a different name for "fuseblk" filesystems.

Thanks to Ioan Ionita for the bug report.

6ab455eeaf [XFS] Fix memory corruption with small buffer reads
When we have multiple buffers in a single page for a blocksize == pagesize
filesystem we might overwrite the page contents if two callers hit it
shortly after each other. To prevent that we need to keep the page locked
until I/O is completed and the page marked uptodate.

Thanks to Eric Sandeen for triaging this bug and finding a reproducible
testcase and Dave Chinner for additional advice.

This should fix kernel.org bz #10421.

06a901c562 [POWERPC] mpic: Fix use of uninitialized variable
Compiling ppc64_defconfig with gcc 4.3 gives thes warnings:

arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c: In function 'mpic_irq_get_priority':
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:1351: warning: 'is_ipi' may be used uninitialized in this function
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c: In function 'mpic_irq_set_priority':
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:1328: warning: 'is_ipi' may be used uninitialized in this function

It turns out that in the cases where is_ipi is uninitialized, another
variable (mpic) will be NULL and it is dereferenced.  Protect against
this by returning if mpic is NULL in mpic_irq_set_priority, and removing
mpic_irq_get_priority completely as it has no in tree callers.

This has the nice side effect of making the warning go away.

This fixes the condition where the PS3 boots up with
only the 128 MiB of boot memory, and doesn't see the
other 128MiB that is available.

c8f5f12e46 [XFS] Fix inode list allocation size in writeback.
We only need to allocate space for the number of inodes in the cluster
when writing back inodes, not every byte in the inode cluster. This
reduces the amount of memory needing to be allocated to 256 bytes instead
of 64k.

49383b0e98 [XFS] Don't allow memory reclaim to wait on the filesystem in inode
writeback

If we allow memory reclaim to wait on the pages under writeback in inode
cluster writeback we could deadlock because we are currently holding the
ILOCK on the initial writeback inode which is needed in data I/O
completion to change the file size or do unwritten extent conversion
before the pages are taken out of writeback state.

978b723712 [XFS] Fix fsync() b0rkage.
xfs_fsync() fails to wait for data I/O completion before checking if the
inode is dirty or clean to decide whether to log the inode or not. This
misses inode size updates when the data flushed by the fsync() is
extending the file.

Hence, like fdatasync(), we need to wait for I/o completion first, then
check the inode for cleanliness. Doing so makes the behaviour of
xfs_fsync() identical for fsync and fdatasync and we *always* use
synchronous semantics if the inode is dirty. Therefore also kill the
differences and remove the unused flags from the xfs_fsync function and
callers.

3401a61e16 stop_machine: make stop_machine_run more virtualization friendly
On kvm I have seen some rare hangs in stop_machine when I used more guest
cpus than hosts cpus. e.g. 32 guest cpus on 1 host cpu triggered the
hang quite often. I could also reproduce the problem on a 4 way z/VM host with
a 64 way guest.

It turned out that the guest was consuming all available cpus mostly for
spinning on scheduler locks like rq->lock. This is expected as the threads are
calling yield all the time.
The problem is now, that the host scheduling decisings together with the guest
scheduling decisions and spinlocks not being fair managed to create an
interesting scenario similar to a live lock. (Sometimes the hang resolved
itself after some minutes)

Changing stop_machine to yield the cpu to the hypervisor when yielding inside
the guest fixed the problem for me. While I am not completely happy with this
patch, I think it causes no harm and it really improves the situation for me.

I used cpu_relax for yielding to the hypervisor, does that work on all
architectures?

p.s.: If you want to reproduce the problem, cpu hotplug and kprobes use
stop_machine_run and both triggered the problem after some retries.
