Pull btrfs update from Chris Mason: "The biggest feature in the pull is the new (and still experimental) raid56 code that David Woodhouse started long ago. I'm still working on the parity logging setup that will avoid inconsistent parity after a crash, so this is only for testing right now. But, I'd really like to get it out to a broader audience to hammer out any performance issues or other problems. scrub does not yet correct errors on raid5/6 either. Josef has another pass at fsync performance. The big change here is to combine waiting for metadata with waiting for data, which is a big latency win. It is also step one toward using atomics from the hardware during a commit. Mark Fasheh has a new way to use btrfs send/receive to send only the metadata changes. SUSE is using this to make snapper more efficient at finding changes between snapshosts. Snapshot-aware defrag is also included. Otherwise we have a large number of fixes and cleanups. Eric Sandeen wins the award for removing the most lines, and I'm hoping we steal this idea from XFS over and over again." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs: (118 commits) btrfs: fixup/remove module.h usage as required Btrfs: delete inline extents when we find them during logging btrfs: try harder to allocate raid56 stripe cache Btrfs: cleanup to make the function btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata more logic Btrfs: don't call btrfs_qgroup_free if just btrfs_qgroup_reserve fails Btrfs: remove reduplicate check about root in the function btrfs_clean_quota_tree Btrfs: return ENOMEM rather than use BUG_ON when btrfs_alloc_path fails Btrfs: fix missing deleted items in btrfs_clean_quota_tree btrfs: use only inline_pages from extent buffer Btrfs: fix wrong reserved space when deleting a snapshot/subvolume Btrfs: fix wrong reserved space in qgroup during snap/subv creation Btrfs: remove unnecessary dget_parent/dput when creating the pending snapshot btrfs: remove a printk from scan_one_device Btrfs: fix NULL pointer after aborting a transaction Btrfs: fix memory leak of log roots Btrfs: copy everything if we've created an inline extent btrfs: cleanup for open-coded alignment Btrfs: do not change inode flags in rename Btrfs: use reserved space for creating a snapshot clear chunk_alloc flag on retryable failure ...

Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy. and make fall back path working. 2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat. a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64. b. for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++) set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE) still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat. it should be moved before that.... c. it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved early before override from INITRD is settled. 3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title, but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should be routed via tip/x86/mm. 4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram: a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed? b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable... c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G anymore. d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore. e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is not good. If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that node. We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not be fixed. So just remove that offending commit and related ones including: f7210e6c ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().") 01a178a9 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRAT") 27168d38 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to the end of node") e8d19552 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is ready") fb06bc8e ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map") 42f47e27 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority") 6981ec31 ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep movable limit for nodes") 34b71f1e ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter") 4d59a751 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node") Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0. Also need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram. Reported-by:

The kdb_defcmd can only be used to display the available command aliases while using the kernel debug shell. If you try to define a new macro while the kernel debugger is active it will oops. The debug shell macros must use pre-allocated memory set aside at the time kdb_init() is run, and the kdb_defcmd is restricted to only working at the time that the kdb_init sequence is being run, which only occurs if you actually activate the kernel debugger.

Added missing Kconfig option KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC which lead to a dead ifdef block in kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:73-75. The code using KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC was originally introduced in commit '5d5314d6 ' by Jason Wessel. This patchset ("kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)") added platform independent part of kdb to the linux kernel. The Kernel option however, even though it had the same options and behaviour on all supported architectures, was part of the x86 and ia64 patchset of KDB and therefore not pulled into the mainline kernel tree. I actually took the originally written Kconfig by Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> (2003-06-20 according to KDB changelog) and changed it to reflect the correct behaviour, as the KDUMP patchset is not part of the kernel and the expected functionality is missing from it.

We can't look up the address of the entry point of the function simply via that function symbol for all architectures. For PPC64 ABI, actually there is a function descriptors structure. A function descriptor is a three doubleword data structure that contains the following values: * The first doubleword contains the address of the entry point of the function. * The second doubleword contains the TOC base address for the function. * The third doubleword contains the environment pointer for languages such as Pascal and PL/1. So we should call a wapperred dereference_function_descriptor() to get the address of the entry point of the function. Note this is also safe for other architecture after refer to "include/asm-generic/sections.h" since: dereference_function_descriptor(p) always is (p) if without arched definition. Signed-off-by:

When locally adding in some additional kdb commands, I stumbled across an issue with the dynamic expansion of the kdb command table. When the number of kdb commands exceeds the size of the statically allocated kdb_base_commands[] array, additional space is allocated in the kdb_register_repeat() routine. The unused portion of the newly allocated array was not being initialized to zero properly and this would result in segfaults when help '?' was executed or when a search for a non-existing command would traverse the command table beyond the end of valid command entries and then attempt to use the non-zeroed area as actual command entries.

Add a num_write_bios function to struct target. If an instance of a target sets this, it will be queried before the target's mapping function is called on a write bio, and the response controls the number of copies of the write bio that the target will receive. This provides a convenient way for a target to send the same data to more than one device. The new cache target uses this in writethrough mode, to send the data both to the cache and the backing device. Signed-off-by:

The actual kcopyd activity is calculated as a percentage of time equal to "(100 * io_period / total_period)". This is compared with the user-defined throttle percentage threshold and if it is exceeded, we sleep. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces enhanced message support that allows the device-mapper core to recognise messages that are common to all devices, and for messages to return data to userspace. Core messages are processed by the function "message_for_md". If the device mapper doesn't support the message, it is passed to the target driver. If the message returns data, the kernel sets the flag DM_MESSAGE_OUT_FLAG. Signed-off-by:

Device-mapper ioctls receive and send data in a buffer supplied by userspace. The buffer has two parts. The first part contains a 'struct dm_ioctl' and has a fixed size. The second part depends on the ioctl and has a variable size. This patch recognises the specific ioctls that do not use the variable part of the buffer and skips allocating memory for it. In particular, when a device is suspended and a resume ioctl is sent, this now avoid memory allocation completely. The variable "struct dm_ioctl tmp" is moved from the function copy_params to its caller ctl_ioctl and renamed to param_kernel. It is used directly when the ioctl function doesn't need any arguments.

This patch introduces flags for each ioctl function. So far, one flag is defined, IOCTL_FLAGS_NO_PARAMS. It is set if the function processing the ioctl doesn't take or produce any parameters in the section of the data buffer that has a variable size. Signed-off-by:

This patch merges io_pool and tio_pool into io_pool and cleans up related functions. Though device-mapper used to have 2 pools of objects for each dm device, the use of bioset frontbad for per-bio data has shrunk the number of pools to 1 for both bio-based and request-based device types. (See c0820cf5 "dm: introduce per_bio_data" and 94818742 "dm: Use bioset's front_pad for dm_rq_clone_bio_info") So dm no longer has to maintain 2 different pointers. No functional changes.

dm_calculate_queue_limits will first reset the provided limits to defaults using blk_set_stacking_limits; whereby defeating the purpose of retaining the original live table's limits -- as was intended via commit 3ae70656 ("dm: retain table limits when swapping to new table with no devices"). Fix this improper limits initialization (in the no data devices case) by avoiding the call to dm_calculate_queue_limits. [patch header revised by Mike Snitzer] Signed-off-by:
