d167a51877 [PATCH] x86_64: x86_64 version of the smp alternative patch.
Changes are largely identical to the i386 version:

 * alternative #define are moved to the new alternative.h file.
 * one new elf section with pointers to the lock prefixes which can be
   nop'ed out for non-smp.
 * two new elf sections simliar to the "classic" alternatives to
   replace SMP code with simpler UP code.
 * fixup headers to use alternative.h instead of defining their own
   LOCK / LOCK_PREFIX macros.

The patch reuses the i386 version of the alternatives code to avoid code
duplication.  The code in alternatives.c was shuffled around a bit to
reduce the number of #ifdefs needed.  It also got some tweaks needed for
x86_64 (vsyscall page handling) and new features (noreplacement option
which was x86_64 only up to now).  Debug printk's are changed from
compile-time to runtime.

Loosely based on a early version from Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>

240cd6a806 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Emulate CPUID4 on AMD
Intel systems report the cache level data from CPUID 4 in sysfs.
Add a CPUID 4 emulation for AMD CPUs to report the same
information for them. This allows programs to read this
information in a uniform way.

The AMD way to report this is less flexible so some assumptions
are hardcoded (e.g. no L3)

b78709cfd4 [PATCH] sched: fix SCHED_FIFO bug in sys_sched_rr_get_interval()
The introduction of SCHED_BATCH scheduling class with a value of 3 means
that the expression (p->policy & SCHED_FIFO) will return true if policy
is SCHED_BATCH or SCHED_FIFO.

Unfortunately, this expression is used in sys_sched_rr_get_interval()
and in the absence of a comment to say that this is intentional I
presume that it is unintentional and erroneous.

The fix is to change the expression to (p->policy == SCHED_FIFO).

f274afc993 Clean up 'inline is not at beginning' warnings for usb storage
Usually we don't care much about 'gcc -W' warnings, but some of us do build
kernels that way to look for problems, and then the fewer warnings we have
to wade through the better. Especially when they are very easy and
non-intrusive to clean up. Which is the case for the following warnings
spewed by drivers/usb/storage/usb.h :

  drivers/usb/storage/usb.h:163: warning: `inline' is not at beginning of
+declaration
  drivers/usb/storage/usb.h:166: warning: `inline' is not at beginning of
+declaration

There's also some precedence for cleaning up these warnings. I've had
a few patches merged in the past that remove exactly this class of
warnings.

This allows the state of an md/array to be directly controlled via sysfs and
adds the ability to stop and array without tearing it down.

Array states/settings:

 clear
     No devices, no size, no level
     Equivalent to STOP_ARRAY ioctl
 inactive
     May have some settings, but array is not active
        all IO results in error
     When written, doesn't tear down array, but just stops it
 suspended (not supported yet)
     All IO requests will block. The array can be reconfigured.
     Writing this, if accepted, will block until array is quiescent
 readonly
     no resync can happen.  no superblocks get written.
     write requests fail
 read-auto
     like readonly, but behaves like 'clean' on a write request.

 clean - no pending writes, but otherwise active.
     When written to inactive array, starts without resync
     If a write request arrives then
       if metadata is known, mark 'dirty' and switch to 'active'.
       if not known, block and switch to write-pending
     If written to an active array that has pending writes, then fails.
 active
     fully active: IO and resync can be happening.
     When written to inactive array, starts with resync

 write-pending (not supported yet)
     clean, but writes are blocked waiting for 'active' to be written.

 active-idle
     like active, but no writes have been seen for a while (100msec).

4254376914 [PATCH] md: Don't write dirty/clean update to spares - leave them alone
- record the 'event' count on each individual device (they
  might sometimes be slightly different now)
- add a new value for 'sb_dirty': '3' means that the super
  block only needs to be updated to record a clean<->dirty
  transition.
- Prefer odd event numbers for dirty states and even numbers
  for clean states
- Using all the above, don't update the superblock on
  a spare device if the update is just doing a clean-dirty
  transition.  To accomodate this, a transition from
  dirty back to clean might now decrement the events counter
  if nothing else has changed.

The net effect of this is that spare drives will not see any IO requests
during normal running of the array, so they can go to sleep if that is what
they want to do.

07d84d109d [PATCH] md: Allow re-add to work on array without bitmaps
When an array has a bitmap, a device can be removed and re-added and only
blocks changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be resynced.

It should be possible to do a similar thing to arrays without bitmaps.  i.e.
if a device is removed and re-added and *no* changes have been made in the
interim, then the add should not require a resync.

This patch allows that option.  This means that when assembling an array one
device at a time (e.g.  during device discovery) the array can be enabled
read-only as soon as enough devices are available, but extra devices can still
be added without causing a resync.

ce25c31bdd [PATCH] md: Change md/bitmap file handling to use bmap to file blocks-fix
Fix problems with new bmap based access to bitmap files.

1/ When not using a file based bitmap, attach a NULL list of buffers
   to each page so the common free_buffer routine can cope.
2/ Use submit_bh to read as well as write, rather than vfs_read.
   This makes read and write more symetric.
3/ sync the file before reading, to ensure that the page cache has no
   dirty pages that might get written out later.

d785a06a0b [PATCH] md/bitmap: change md/bitmap file handling to use bmap to file blocks
If md is asked to store a bitmap in a file, it tries to hold onto the page
cache pages for that file, manipulate them directly, and call a cocktail of
operations to write the file out.  I don't believe this is a supportable
approach.

This patch changes the approach to use the same approach as swap files.  i.e.
bmap is used to enumerate all the block address of parts of the file and we
write directly to those blocks of the device.

swapfile only uses parts of the file that provide a full pages at contiguous
addresses.  We don't have that luxury so we have to cope with pages that are
non-contiguous in storage.  To handle this we attach buffers to each page, and
store the addresses in those buffers.

With this approach the pagecache may contain data which is inconsistent with
what is on disk.  To alleviate the problems this can cause, md invalidates the
pagecache when releasing the file.  If the file is to be examined while the
array is active (a non-critical but occasionally useful function), O_DIRECT io
must be used.  And new version of mdadm will have support for this.

This approach simplifies a lot of code:
 - we no longer need to keep a list of pages which we need to wait for,
   as the b_endio function can keep track of how many outstanding
   writes there are.  This saves a mempool.
 - -EAGAIN returns from write_page are no longer possible (not sure if
    they ever were actually).

in a memory leak.

c93983bf51 [PATCH] md: support stripe/offset mode in raid10

data is duplicated on different stripes.  e.g.

  A  B  C  D
  D  A  B  C
  E  F  G  H
  H  E  F  G

(columns are drives, rows are stripes, LETTERS are chunks of data).

This is similar to raid10's 'far' mode, but not quite the same.  So enhance
'far' mode with a 'far/offset' option which follows the layout of DDFs
stripe/offset.

16a53ecc35 [PATCH] md: merge raid5 and raid6 code
There is a lot of commonality between raid5.c and raid6main.c.  This patches
merges both into one module called raid456.  This saves a lot of code, and
paves the way for online raid5->raid6 migrations.

There is still duplication, e.g.  between handle_stripe5 and handle_stripe6.
This will probably be cleaned up later.

16f17b39f3 [PATCH] md: increase the delay before marking metadata clean, and make it configurable
When a md array has been idle (no writes) for 20msecs it is marked as 'clean'.
 This delay turns out to be too short for some real workloads.  So increase it
to 200msec (the time to update the metadata should be a tiny fraction of that)
and make it sysfs-configurable.

9443a1d1f7 [PATCH] md: remove useless ioctl warning
This warning was slightly useful back in 2.2 days, but is more an annoyance
now.  It makes it awkward to add new ioctls (that we we are likely to do that
in the current climate, but it is possible).

8932c2e0dc [PATCH] md: remove arbitrary limit on chunk size
The largest chunk size the code can support without substantial surgery is
2^30 bytes, so make that the limit instead of an arbitrary 4Meg.  Some day,
the 'chunksize' should change to a sector-shift instead of a byte-count.  Then
no limit would be needed.

5c6bd75d06 [PATCH] dm: prevent removal if open
If you misuse the device-mapper interface (or there's a bug in your userspace
tools) it's possible to end up with 'unlinked' mapped devices that cannot be
removed until you reboot (along with uninterruptible processes).

This patch prevents you from removing a device that is still open.

It introduces dm_lock_for_deletion() which is called when a device is about to
be removed to ensure that nothing has it open and nothing further can open it.
 It uses a private open_count for this which also lets us remove one of the
problematic bdget_disk() calls elsewhere.
