4d73f95f70 IB/srp: Make queue size configurable
Certain storage configurations, e.g. a sufficiently large array of
hard disks in a RAID configuration, need a queue depth above 64 to
achieve optimal performance. Hence make the queue depth configurable.

848b3082db IB/srp: Export sgid to sysfs
On an initiator system with multiple IB ports it is not yet possible
to figure out what the originating port of an SRP connection is. Hence
make the source GID available in sysfs.

29c1732480 scsi_transport_srp: Add transport layer error handling
Add the necessary functions in the SRP transport module to allow an
SRP initiator driver to implement transport layer error handling
similar to the functionality already provided by the FC transport
layer. This includes:

- Support for implementing fast_io_fail_tmo, the time that should
  elapse after having detected a transport layer problem and
  before failing I/O.
- Support for implementing dev_loss_tmo, the time that should
  elapse after having detected a transport layer problem and
  before removing a remote port.

4b5e5f41c8 IB/srp: Make HCA completion vector configurable
Several InfiniBand HCAs allow configuring the completion vector per
CQ.  This allows spreading the workload created by IB completion
interrupts over multiple MSI-X vectors and hence over multiple CPU
cores.  In other words, configuring the completion vector properly not
only allows reducing latency on an initiator connected to multiple
SRP targets but also allows improving throughput.

f9028317b2 Documentation: Add newline at end-of-file to files lacking one
This patch simply adds a newline character at end-of-file to those
files in Documentation/ that currently lack one.

This is done for a few different reasons:

A) It's rather annoying when you do "cat some_file.txt" that your
   prompt/cursor ends up at the end of the last line of output rather
   than on a new line.

B) Some tools that process files line-by-line may get confused by the
   lack of a newline on the last line.

C) The "\ No newline at end of file" line in diffs annoys me for some
   reason.

So, let's just add the missing newline once and for all.

There are a lot userspace approaches to detect the usage of the
platform (laptop, workstation, server, ...) and adjust kernel tunables
accordingly (io/process scheduler, power management, ...).

These approaches need constant maintaining and are ugly to implement
(detect PCMCIA controller -> laptop,
does not work on recent systems anymore, ...)
On ACPI systems there is an easy and reliable way (if implemented
in BIOS and most recent platforms have this value set).
-> export it to userspace.

f6a7cd0212 firewire: cdev: ABI documentation enhancements
Add overview documentation in Documentation/ABI/stable/firewire-cdev.

Improve the inline reference documentation in firewire-cdev.h:

  - Add /* available since kernel... */ comments to event numbers
    consistent with the comments on ioctl numbers.

  - Shorten some documentation on an event and an ioctl that are
    less interesting to current programming because there are newer
    preferable variants.

  - Spell Configuration ROM (name of an IEEE 1212 register) in
    upper case.

  - Move the dummy FW_CDEV_VERSION out of the reader's field of
    vision.  We should remove it from the header next year or so.

98eedc3a9d Document the vDSO and add a reference parser
It turns out that parsing the vDSO is nontrivial if you don't already
have an ELF dynamic loader around.  So document it in Documentation/ABI
and add a reference CC0-licenced parser.

819bfecc4f rename new rfkill sysfs knobs
This patch renames the (never officially released) sysfs-knobs
"blocked_hw" and "blocked_sw" to "hard" and "soft", as the hardware vs
software conotation is misleading.

It also gets rid of not needed locks around u32-read-access.

52f7c21b61 ocfs2: Move /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cb
/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects.

Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain
backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After
some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds
documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb
is used for.
