The 'enough' function is written to work with 'near' arrays only
in that is implicitly assumes that the offset from one 'group' of
devices to the next is the same as the number of copies.
In reality it is the number of 'near' copies.

So change it to make this number explicit.

This bug makes it possible to run arrays without enough drives
present, which is dangerous.
It is appropriate for an -stable kernel, but will almost certainly
need to be modified for some of them.

commit b17459c0
   raid5: add a per-stripe lock

added a spin_lock to the 'stripe_head' struct.
Unfortunately there are two places where this struct is allocated
but the spin lock was only initialised in one of them.

So add the missing spin_lock_init.

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.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

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.

This reverts commit 895e3c5c.

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.

order, passing the kernel stack pointer off as a user pointer (and vice
versa).

Because of the user address range check, that in turn then causes an
EFAULT due to the user pointer range checking failing for the kernel
address.  Incorrectly resuling in a failed system call for 32-bit
processes with a 64-bit kernel.

When running 32-bit pvops-dom0 and a driver tries to allocate a coherent
DMA-memory the xen swiotlb-implementation returned memory beyond 4GB.

The underlaying reason is that if the supplied driver passes in a
DMA_BIT_MASK(64) ( hwdev->coherent_dma_mask is set to 0xffffffffffffffff)
our dma_mask will be u64 set to 0xffffffffffffffff even if we set it to
DMA_BIT_MASK(32) previously. Meaning we do not reset the upper bits.
By using the dma_alloc_coherent_mask function - it does the proper casting
and we get 0xfffffffff.

This caused not working sound on a system with 4 GB and a 64-bit
compatible sound-card with sets the DMA-mask to 64bit.

On bare-metal and the forward-ported xen-dom0 patches from OpenSuse a coherent
DMA-memory is always allocated inside the 32-bit address-range by calling
dma_alloc_coherent_mask.

This patch adds the same functionality to xen swiotlb and is a rebase of the
original patch from Ronny Hegewald which never got upstream b/c the
underlaying reason was not understood until now.

patch_instruction() can be called very early on ppc32, when the kernel
isn't yet running at it's linked address. That can cause the !
is_kernel_addr() test in __put_user() to trip and call might_sleep()
which is very bad at that point during boot.

Use a lower level function instead for now, at least until we get to
rework ppc32 boot process to do the code patching later, like ppc64
does.

We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more
generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and
continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state.  This
happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote()
is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in
smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in
scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in
smp_ipi_demux().  Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see
the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing
for it to do.

In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule()
is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(),
this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux().
The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that
there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and
scheduler_ipi().  In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than
xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers.
Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that
ipi_message is not just accessed locally.

This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the
cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations.
Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had
a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO
store.  This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases.

These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as
measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on
different cores of a POWER7 machine.

The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly
is due to Milton Miller.

During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value.
If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management
(ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while
the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value.

Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread
DSCR as required.

This was found with the following test case, when running with
more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching):

With the four patches applied I can run a combination of all
test cases successfully at the same time:

If the default DSCR is non zero we set thread.dscr_inherit in
copy_thread() meaning the new thread and all its children will ignore
future updates to the default DSCR. This is not intended and is
a change in behaviour that a number of our users have hit.

We just need to inherit thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit from
the parent which ends up being much simpler.

When we update the DSCR either via emulation of mtspr(DSCR) or via
a change to dscr_default in sysfs we don't update thread.dscr.
We will eventually update it at context switch time but there is
a period where thread.dscr is incorrect.

If we fork at this point we will copy the old value of thread.dscr
into the child. To avoid this, always keep thread.dscr in sync with
reality.

Writing to dscr_default in sysfs doesn't actually change the DSCR -
we rely on a context switch on each CPU to do the work. There is no
guarantee we will get a context switch in a reasonable amount of time
so fire off an IPI to force an immediate change.

The CPU hotplug code for the powernv platform currently only puts
offline CPUs into nap mode if the powersave_nap variable is set.
However, HV-style KVM on this platform requires secondary CPU threads
to be offline and in nap mode.  Since we know nap mode works just
fine on all POWER7 machines, and the only machines that support the
powernv platform are POWER7 machines, this changes the code to
always put offline CPUs into nap mode, regardless of powersave_nap.
Powersave_nap still controls whether or not CPUs go into nap mode
when idle, as before.

At the moment the handler for hypervisor decrementer interrupts is
the same as for decrementer interrupts, i.e. timer_interrupt().
This is bogus; if we ever do get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt
it won't have anything to do with the next timer event.  In fact
the only time we get hypervisor decrementer interrupts is when one
is left pending on exit from a KVM guest.

When we get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt we don't need to do
anything special to clear it, since they are edge-triggered on the
transition of HDEC from 0 to -1.  Thus this adds an empty handler
function for them.  We don't need to have them masked when interrupts
are soft-disabled, so we use STD_EXCEPTION_HV instead of
MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_HV.

arch_update_cpu_topology() should only return 1 when the topology has
actually changed, and should return 0 otherwise.

This patch fixes a potential bug where rebuild_sched_domains() would
reinitialize the sched domains even when the topology hasn't changed.

Test-compiling obscure machines I notice that the gemini (which
by the way lacks a defconfig) is broken since some time back.
Adding a simple missing include makes it build again.
