We are currently using this flag to check whether it's safe
to call into ->request_fn(). If it is set, we punt to kblockd.
But we get a lot of false positives and excessive punts to
kblockd, which hurts performance.
The only real abuser of this infrastructure is SCSI. So export
the async queue run and convert SCSI over to use that. There's
room for improvement in that SCSI need not always use the async
call, but this fixes our performance issue and they can fix that
up in due time.

next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed
in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc.
Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range
(and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the
helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.
So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1"
doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the
pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow
case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to
overflow).

A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex.
However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock
operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes.
For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp
coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime
would have to wait for almost a whole second.
This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of
a mutex.

Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
we should be able to get the best of both worlds.
So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
and only use that from the schedule() path.

It's a bit of a mess currently. task->plug is being cleared
and reset in __blk_finish_plug(), and blk_finish_plug() is

When physical identification of an adapter is done by toggling the
mechanism on and off through software utilizing the set_phys_id operation,
it is done with a fixed duration for both on and off states. Some drivers
may want to set a custom duration for the on/off intervals. This patch
changes the API so the return code from the driver's entry point when it
is called with ETHTOOL_ID_ACTIVE can specify the frequency at which to
cycle the on/off states, and updates the drivers that have already been
converted to use the new set_phys_id and use the synchronous method for
identifying an adapter.
The physical identification frequency set in the updated drivers is based
on how it was done prior to the introduction of set_phys_id.
Compile tested only. Also fixes a compiler warning in sfc.

5520e89 ("brk: fix min_brk lower bound computation for COMPAT_BRK")
tried to get the whole logic of brk randomization for legacy

It turns out that the way to detect whether brk has actually been

for those binaries, as reported by Geert:
: /sbin/init from my old m68k ramdisk exists prematurely.
:
: Before the patch:

:
: After the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80005c8e
:
: Old libc5 considers brk() to have failed if the return value is not
: identical to the requested value.
I don't like it, but currently see no better option than a bit flag in
task_struct to catch the CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK && randomize_va_space == 2
case.

remotely, saving lots on cacheline transfers.

Many media center remotes have buttons intended for jumping straight to
one type of media browser or another -- commonly, images/photos/pictures,
audio/music, television, and movies. At present, remotes with an images
or photos or pictures button use any number of different keycodes which
sort of maybe fit. I've seen at least KEY_MEDIA, KEY_CAMERA,
KEY_GRAPHICSEDITOR and KEY_PRESENTATION. None of those seem quite right.
In my mind, KEY_MEDIA should be something more like a media center
application launcher (and I'd like to standardize on that for things
like the windows media center button on the mce remotes). KEY_CAMERA is
used in a lot of webcams, and typically means "take a picture now".
KEY_GRAPHICSEDITOR implies an editor, not a browser. KEY_PRESENTATION
might be the closest fit here, if you think "photo slide show", but it
may well be more intended for "run application in full-screen
presentation mode" or to launch something like magicpoint, I dunno.
And thus, I'd like to have a KEY_IMAGES, which matches the HID Usage AL
Image Browser, the meaning of which I think is crystal-clear. I believe
AL Audio Browser is already covered by KEY_AUDIO, and AL Movie Browser
by KEY_VIDEO, so I'm also adding appropriate comments next to those
keys.
