80d5c474b8 Blackfin Serial Driver: fix bug - SIR driver stop receiving randomly
Bug description:
The IRDA receiver may can't receiving any more after processed some signals.

To duplicate this issue is put three IRDA devices together, one blackfin,
two none blackfin, they will detect each other. Let one none blackfin devices
irdaping the blackfin devices, when it stopped print out ping information,
it is the time that blackfin stoped receiving, the time is random.

The related register bit is OK, the other devices is sending data continuously.
But no interrupt come.

Fixing:
I tried Michael's suggestion that request the UARTx error interrupt, and reset
the IRDA when found FE error. This method helps much, but it can't completely
avoid stop.

Reset the IRDA before every time sending the data is more safe.

609e5b71d0 kbuild: Remove gcc 4.1.0 quirk from init/main.c
Impact: cleanup

We now have a cleaner check for gcc 4.1.0/4.1.1 trouble in
include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h, so remove the 4.1.0 quirk from
init/main.c.

f9d1425007 Disallow gcc versions 4.1.{0,1}
These compiler versions are known to miscompile __weak functions and
thus generate kernels that don't necessarily work correctly.  If a weak
function is int he same compilation unit as a caller, gcc may end up
inlining it, and thus binding the weak function too early.

See

    http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27781

for details.

f153b82121 Sanitize gcc version header includes
- include the gcc version-dependent header files from the generic gcc
   header file, rather than the other way around (iow: don't make the
   non-gcc header file have to know about gcc versions)

 - don't include compiler-gcc4.h for gcc 5 (for whenever it gets
   released).  That's just confusing and made us do odd things in the
   gcc4 header file (testing that we really had version 4!)

 - generate the name from the __GNUC__ version directly, rather than
   having a mess of #if conditionals.

07bd3f4731 ide-floppy: allocate only toplevel packet commands
This makes the top-level function just allocate a single pc entry, and then
pass it down as a pointer to all the helper functions that also need one
of those "struct ide_atapi_pc" things. As far as I can tell, the use of
these things never overlaps each other, BUT I DID NOT CHECK VERY CLOSELY!

So I'm not guaranteeing this is correct, and I don't have the hardware. It
would be good for somebody who knows the code more, and has the hardware,
could please test this?

With this, ide-floppy still has fairly big stack usage, but instead of

	idefloppy_ioctl [vmlinux]:              1208
	ide_floppy_get_capacity [vmlinux]:      872
	idefloppy_release [vmlinux]:            408
	idefloppy_open [vmlinux]:               408

where those two first ones are at the very top of the list of stack users
for me, it's now

	ide_floppy_get_capacity [vmlinux]:           404
	ide_floppy_ioctl [vmlinux]:                  364

ie they are still high, but they are no longer at the top.

Borislav: Since ide_floppy_get_capacity is passed as a function pointer to other
parts of the kernel (e.g., block layer) we need that ide_atapi_pc to be created
on stack. Also, redid stack users numbers above. The two functions missing from
Linus' original 'make stackusage' output are due to ide being
rewritten/reorganized atm.

201bffa464 ide: use per-device request queue locks (v2)
* Move hack for flush requests from choose_drive() to do_ide_request().

* Add ide_plug_device() helper and convert core IDE code from using
  per-hwgroup lock as a request lock to use the ->queue_lock instead.

* Remove no longer needed:
  - choose_drive() function
  - WAKEUP() macro
  - 'sleeping' flag from ide_hwif_t
  - 'service_{start,time}' fields from ide_drive_t

This patch results in much simpler and more maintainable code
(besides being a scalability improvement).

v2:
* Fixes/improvements based on review from Elias:
  - take as many requests off the queue as possible
  - remove now redundant BUG_ON()

295f00042a ide: don't execute the next queued command from the hard-IRQ context (v2)
* Tell the block layer that we are not done handling requests by using
  blk_plug_device() in ide_do_request() (request handling function)
  and ide_timer_expiry() (timeout handler) if the queue is not empty.

* Remove optimization which directly calls ide_do_request() for the next
  queued command from the ide_intr() (IRQ handler) and ide_timer_expiry().

* Remove no longer needed IRQ masking from ide_do_request() - in case of
  IDE ports needing serialization disable_irq_nosync()/enable_irq() was
  used for the (possibly shared) IRQ of the other IDE port.

* Put the misplaced comment in the right place in ide_do_request().

* Drop no longer needed 'int masked_irq' argument from ide_do_request().

* Merge ide_do_request() into do_ide_request().

* Remove no longer needed IDE_NO_IRQ define.

While at it:

* Don't use HWGROUP() macro in do_ide_request().

* Use __func__ in ide_intr().

This patch reduces IRQ hadling latency for IDE and improves the system-wide
handling of shared IRQs (which should result in more timeout resistant and
stable IDE systems).  It also makes it possible to do some further changes
later (i.e. replace some busy-waiting delays with sleeping equivalents).

v2:
Changes per review from Elias Oltmanns:
- fix wrong goto statement in 'if (startstop == ide_stopped)' block
- use spin_unlock_irq()
- don't use obsolete HWIF() macro

41080b5a24 nfsd race fixes: ext2
* make ext2_new_inode() put the inode into icache in locked state
* do not unlock until the inode is fully set up; otherwise nfsd
might pick it in half-baked state.
* make sure that ext2_new_inode() does *not* lead to two inodes with the
same inumber hashed at the same time; otherwise a bogus fhandle coming
from nfsd might race with inode creation:

nfsd: iget_locked() creates inode
nfsd: try to read from disk, block on that.
ext2_new_inode(): allocate inode with that inumber
ext2_new_inode(): insert it into icache, set it up and dirty
ext2_write_inode(): get the relevant part of inode table in cache,
set the entry for our inode (and start writing to disk)
nfsd: get CPU again, look into inode table, see nice and sane on-disk
inode, set the in-core inode from it

oops - we have two in-core inodes with the same inumber live in icache,
both used for IO.  Welcome to fs corruption...

261bca86ed nfsd/create race fixes, infrastructure
new helpers - insert_inode_locked() and insert_inode_locked4().
Hash new inode, making sure that there's no such inode in icache
already.  If there is and it does not end up unhashed (as would
happen if we have nfsd trying to resolve a bogus fhandle), fail.
Otherwise insert our inode into hash and succeed.

In either case have i_state set to new+locked; cleanup ends up
being simpler with such calling conventions.

6badd79bd0 kill ->dir_notify()
Remove the hopelessly misguided ->dir_notify().  The only instance (cifs)
has been broken by design from the very beginning; the objects it creates
are never destroyed, keep references to struct file they can outlive, nothing
that could possibly evict them exists on close(2) path *and* no locking
whatsoever is done to prevent races with close(), should the previous, er,
deficiencies someday be dealt with.

b6b3fdead2 filp_cachep can be static in fs/file_table.c
Instead of creating the "filp" kmem_cache in vfs_caches_init(),
we can do it a litle be later in files_init(), so that filp_cachep
is static to fs/file_table.c

fd659fd627 fix f_count description in Documentation/filesystems/files.txt
Documentation/filesystems/files.txt was not updated when
f_count became an atomic_long_t.
atomic_long_inc_not_zero() is now used instead of atomic_inc_not_zero()
