97c18e2c7a module: try_then_request_module must wait
Since the whole point of try_then_request_module is to retry
the operation after a module has been loaded, we must wait for
the module to fully load.

Otherwise all sort of things start breaking, e.g., you won't
be able to read your encrypted disks on the first attempt.

6b44003e5c work_on_cpu(): rewrite it to create a kernel thread on demand
Impact: circular locking bugfix

The various implemetnations and proposed implemetnations of work_on_cpu()
are vulnerable to various deadlocks because they all used queues of some
form.

Unrelated pieces of kernel code thus gained dependencies wherein if one
work_on_cpu() caller holds a lock which some other work_on_cpu() callback
also takes, the kernel could rarely deadlock.

Fix this by creating a short-lived kernel thread for each work_on_cpu()
invokation.

This is not terribly fast, but the only current caller of work_on_cpu() is
pci_call_probe().

It would be nice to find some other way of doing the node-local
allocations in the PCI probe code so that we can zap work_on_cpu()
altogether.  The code there is rather nasty.  I can't think of anything
simple at this time...

5bf37ec3e0 cap_prctl: don't set error to 0 at 'no_change'
One-liner: capsh --print is broken without this patch.

In certain cases, cap_prctl returns error > 0 for success.  However,
the 'no_change' label was always setting error to 0.  As a result,
for example, 'prctl(CAP_BSET_READ, N)' would always return 0.
It should return 1 if a process has N in its bounding set (as
by default it does).

I'm keeping the no_change label even though it's now functionally
the same as 'error'.

2a3abf6d17 igb: remove sysfs entry that was used to set the number of vfs
This patch removes the sysfs entry num_vfs which was added to support
enabling pci virtual functions for 82576.

To prevent VFs from loading automatically a module parameter "max_vfs" was
added so that the number of VFs per PF can be limited.  This is especially
useful when 4 or more 82576 ports are on the system because otherwise to
load all VFs would result in 8 interface per physical port.

d4e0fe01a3 igbvf: add new driver to support 82576 virtual functions
This adds an igbvf driver to handle virtual functions provided by the
igb driver when SR-IOV has been enabled.  A virtual function is a
lightweight pci-e function that supports a single queue and shares
resources with the 82576 physical function contained within the igb
driver.

To spawn virtual functions from the igb driver all that is needed is to
enable CONFIG_PCI_IOV and have an 82576 Ethernet adapter on a system that
supports SR-IOV in the BIOS.  The virtual functions will appear after the
interface is loaded.

d0176f612f [ARM] 5445/1: AT91: Remove flexible array from USBH platform data
The flexible array in the USBH platform data is not safe to copy.  The
compiler will not allocate any extra memory for the non-init platform
data structure (in the *_devices.c files) since it isn't given any
defaults at compile time.  When the probe function attempts to address
that array, it will actually attempt to access data in an adjacent
structure.

Since there are currently no (known) implementations of the at91 USBH
IP with more than 2 vbus pins, I am capping the value at 2.  If somebody
tries to assign more, then the compiler will produce a warning.

430db323fa ext3: Try to avoid starting a transaction in writepage for data=writepage
This does the same as commit 9e80d40773
(avoid starting a transaction when no block allocation is needed)
but for data=writeback mode of ext3. We also cleanup the data=ordered
case a bit to stick to coding style...

6e34eeddf7 block_write_full_page: switch synchronous writes to use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG
Now that we have a distinction between WRITE_SYNC and WRITE_SYNC_PLUG,
use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG in __block_write_full_page() to avoid unplugging
the block device I/O queue between each page that gets flushed out.

Otherwise, when we run sync() or fsync() and we need to write out a
large number of pages, the block device queue will get unplugged
between for every page that is flushed out, which will be a pretty
serious performance regression caused by commit a64c8610.
