Currently we're gracefully tearing down each active connection
when fcoe.ko is removed. We shouldn't allow the user to destroy
connections by removing the module. We should force the user to
destroy each connection and then the module can be removed.

This patch makes it so a refrerence count on the module is taken
each time a fcoe_interface is created. The reference count
is dropped when the fcoe_interface is destroyed. This makes it
so that module_exit() doesn't get called unless all fcoe_interfaces
have been destroyed.

This patch leaves the removal of interfaces in the module_exit
routine so that if the user does a 'rmmod -f' we'll clean everything
up before removing the module.

The module_put line was put before the out_putdev goto line because
we should only be decrementing the reference count if a
fcoe_interface is actually destroyed. If we can't find the netdev
or the fcoe_interface then it's assumed that something else has
destroyed the fcoe_interface and it would have decremented the
reference count at that time.

Adds check to call fc_fcp_ddp_setup for only FCP read cmds to avoid
accessing junk fsp pointer at least in ESX since non FCP frame had
junk fsp value, though fsp is implicitly initialized to null
by __alloc_skb but with this patch no more relying on fsp
initialized to null value and hitting junk fsp ptr access.

Removes fsp pointer checking in fc_fcp_ddp_setup as this is not
needed any more since its only caller for FCP read will always
have a valid fsp.

When controlling an industrial radio modem it can be necessary to
manipulate the handshake lines in order to control the radio modem's
transmitter, from userspace.

The transmitter should not be turned off before all characters have been
transmitted.  serial8250_tx_empty() was reporting that all characters were
transmitted before they actually were.

===

Discovered in parallel with more testing and analysis by Kees Schoenmakers
as follows:

I ran into an NetMos 9835 serial pci board which behaves a little
different than the standard.  This type of expansion board is very common.

"Standard" 8250 compatible devices clear the 'UART_LST_TEMT" bit together
with the "UART_LSR_THRE" bit when writing data to the device.

The NetMos device does it slightly different

I believe that the TEMT bit is coupled to the shift register.  The problem
is that after writing data to the device and very quickly after that one
does call serial8250_tx_empty, it returns the wrong information.

My patch makes the test more robust (and solves the problem) and it does
not affect the already correct devices.

Alan:

  We may yet need to quirk this but now we know which chips we have a
  way to do that should we find this breaks some other 8250 clone with
  dodgy THRE.

There is currently a bug in sysfs_sd_setattr inherited from
sysfs_setattr in 2.6.32 where the first time we set the attributes
on a sysfs file we allocate backing store but do not set the
backing store attributes.  Resulting in overly restrictive
permissions on sysfs files.

The fix is to simply modify the code so that it always executes
when we update the sysfs attributes, as we did in 2.6.31 and earlier.

I notice that the processcompl_compat() function seems to be leaking the
'struct async *as' in the error paths. 

I think that the calling convention is fundamentally buggered. The
caller is the one that did the "reap_as()" to get the as thing, the
caller should be the one to free it too. 

Freeing it in the caller also means that it very clearly always gets
freed, and avoids the need for any "free in the error case too".

This patch fixes the problem that system may stall if target's ->map_rq
returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE in map_request().
E.g. stall happens on 1 CPU box when a dm-mpath device with queue_if_no_path
     bounces between all-paths-down and paths-up on I/O load.

When target's ->map_rq returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE, map_request() requeues
the request and returns to dm_request_fn().  Then, dm_request_fn()
doesn't exit the I/O dispatching loop and continues processing
the requeued request again.
This map and requeue loop can be done with interrupt disabled,
so 1 CPU system can be stalled if this situation happens.

For example, commands below can stall my 1 CPU box within 1 minute or so:
  # dmsetup table mp
  mp: 0 2097152 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 service-time 0 1 2 8:144 1 1
  # while true; do dd if=/dev/mapper/mp of=/dev/null bs=1M count=100; done &
  # while true; do \
  > dmsetup message mp 0 "fail_path 8:144" \
  > dmsetup suspend --noflush mp \
  > dmsetup resume mp \
  > dmsetup message mp 0 "reinstate_path 8:144" \
  > done

To fix the problem above, this patch changes dm_request_fn() to exit
the I/O dispatching loop once if a request is requeued in map_request().

When suspending a failed mirror, bios are completed by mirror_end_io() and

Analysis

When recovery process of a region failed, dm_rh_recovery_end() function
changes the state of the region from RM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC.
When recovery_complete() is executed between dm_rh_update_states() and
dm_writes() in do_mirror(), bios are processed with the region state,
DM_RH_NOSYNC. However, the region data is freed without checking its
pending count when dm_rh_update_states() is called next time.

When bios are finished by mirror_end_io(), __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec()
returns NULL even though a valid return value are expected.

Solution

Remove the state change of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING
to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). We can remove the state change
because:

  - If the region data has been released by dm_rh_update_states(),
    a new region data is created with the state of DM_RH_NOSYNC, and
    bios are processed according to the DM_RH_NOSYNC state.

  - If the region data has not been released by dm_rh_update_states(),
    a state of the region is DM_RH_RECOVERING and bios are put in the
    delayed_bio list.

The flag change from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end()
was added in the following commit:

If the mirror log fails when the handle_errors option was not selected
and there is no remaining valid mirror leg, writes return success even
though they weren't actually written to any device.  This patch
completes them with EIO instead.

This code path is taken:
do_writes:
	bio_list_merge(&ms->failures, &sync);
do_failures:
	if (!get_valid_mirror(ms)) (false)
	else if (errors_handled(ms)) (false)
	else bio_endio(bio, 0);

The logic in do_failures is based on presuming that the write was already
tried: if it succeeded at least on one leg (without handle_errors) it
is reported as success.
