Use plug in throttle dispatch also as we are dispatching a bunch of bios in throttle context and some of them might merge. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

With the plugging now being explicitly controlled by the submitter, callers need not pass down unplugging hints to the block layer. If they want to unplug, it's because they manually plugged on their own - in which case, they should just unplug at will. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging, and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that. So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to the IO scheduler. The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule event. The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page() callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page() hack in the vm. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

It was always abuse to reuse the plugging infrastructure for this, convert it to the (new) real API for delaying queueing a bit. A default delay of 3 msec is defined, to match the previous behaviour. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

Effectively, make group_isolation=1 the default and remove the tunable. The setting group_isolation=0 was because by default we idle on sync-noidle tree and on fast devices, this can be very harmful for throughput. However, this problem can also be addressed by tuning slice_idle and possibly group_idle on faster storage devices. This change simplifies the CFQ code by removing the feature entirely.

The current code does not follow Intel documentation: It misses some things and does other, undocumented things. This causes wrong backlight values in certain conditions. Instead of adding tricky code handling badly documented and rare corner cases, don't handle combination mode specially at all. This way PCI_LBPC is never touched and weird things shouldn't happen. If combination mode is enabled, then the only downside is that changing the brightness has a greater granularity (the LBPC value), but LBPC is at most 254 and the maximum is in the thousands, so this is no real functional loss. A potential problem with not handling combined mode is that a brightness of max * PCI_LBPC is not bright enough. However, this is very unlikely because from the documentation LBPC seems to act as a scaling factor and doesn't look like it's supposed to be changed after boot. The value at boot should always result in a bright enough screen. IMPORTANT: However, although usually the above is true, it may not be when people ran an older (2.6.37) kernel which messed up the LBPC register, and they are unlucky enough to have a BIOS that saves and restores the LBPC value. Then a good kernel may seem to not work: Max brightness isn't bright enough. If this happens people should boot back into the old kernel, set brightness to the maximum, and then reboot. After that everything should be fine. For more information see the below links.

It is found on Dell Inspiron 1018 that the firmware reports that the hardware killswitch is not supported. This makes the rfkill key not functional.

Some thinkpad hotkeys report key codes like KEY_FN_F8 when something like KEY_VOLUMEDOWN is desired. Always provide the scan codes in addition to the key codes to assist with debugging these issues. Also send the scan code before the key code to match what other drivers do, as some userspace utilities expect this ordering.

There is no need to install a chained handler for this hardware. This is a plain x86 IOAPIC interrupt which is handled by the core code perfectly fine. There is nothing special about demultiplexing these gpio interrupts which justifies a custom hack. Replace it by a plain old interrupt handler installed with request_irq. That makes the code agnostic about the underlying primary interrupt hardware. The overhead for this is minimal, but it gives us the advantage of accounting, balancing and to detect interrupt storms. gpio interrupts are not really that performance critical.
