Freezing tasks via the cgroup freezer causes the load average to climb
because the freezer's current implementation puts frozen tasks in
uninterruptible sleep (D state).

Some applications which perform job-scheduling functions consult the
load average when making decisions.  If a cgroup is frozen, the load
average does not provide a useful measure of the system's utilization
to such applications.  This is especially inconvenient if the job
scheduler employs the cgroup freezer as a mechanism for preempting low
priority jobs.  Contrast this with using SIGSTOP for the same purpose:
the stopped tasks do not count toward system load.

Change task_contributes_to_load() to return false if the task is
frozen.  This results in /proc/loadavg behavior that better meets
users' expectations.

Impact: fix build warnings and possibe compat misbehavior on IA64

Building a kernel on ia64 might trigger these ugly build warnings:

[...]

sys_ia32.c includes linux/syscalls.h which in turn includes linux/ftrace.h
to import the syscalls tracing prototypes.

But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file,
especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher
level headers.

Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.

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...

If the thread calling dm_kcopyd_copy is delayed due to scheduling inside
split_job/segment_complete and the subjobs complete before the loop in
split_job completes, the kcopyd callback could be invoked from the
thread that called dm_kcopyd_copy instead of the kcopyd workqueue.

dm_kcopyd_copy -> split_job -> segment_complete -> job->fn()

Snapshots depend on the fact that callbacks are called from the singlethreaded
kcopyd workqueue and expect that there is no racing between individual
callbacks. The racing between callbacks can lead to corruption of exception
store and it can also mean that exception store callbacks are called twice
for the same exception - a likely reason for crashes reported inside
pending_complete() / remove_exception().

This patch fixes two problems:

1. job->fn being called from the thread that submitted the job (see above).

- Fix: hand over the completion callback to the kcopyd thread.

2. job->fn(read_err, write_err, job->context); in segment_complet...

Use a variable in segment_complete() to point to the dm_kcopyd_client
struct and only release job->pages in run_complete_job() if any are
defined.  These changes are needed by the next patch.

Barriers are submitted to a worker thread that issues them in-order.

The thread is modified so that when it sees a barrier request it waits
for all pending IO before the request then submits the barrier and
waits for it.  (We must wait, otherwise it could be intermixed with
following requests.)

Errors from the barrier request are recorded in a per-device barrier_error
variable. There may be only one barrier request in progress at once.

For now, the barrier request is converted to a non-barrier request when
sending it to the underlying device.

This patch guarantees correct barrier behavior if the underlying device
doesn't perform write-back caching. The same requirement existed before
barriers were supported in dm.

Bottom layer barrier support (sending barriers by target drivers) and
handling devices with write-back caches will be done in further patches.

Remove queue_io return value and a loop in dm_request.

IO may be submitted to a worker thread with queue_io().  queue_io() sets
DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD so that all further IO is queued for the thread. When
the thread finishes its work, it clears DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD and from this
point on, requests are submitted from dm_request again. This will be used
for processing barriers.

Remove the loop in dm_request. queue_io() can submit I/Os to the worker thread
even if DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD was not set.

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

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.

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.
