md: allow upper limit for resync/reshape to be set when array is read-only
md/raid5: Properly remove excess drives after shrinking a raid5/6
md/raid5: make sure a reshape restarts at the correct address.
md/raid5: allow new reshape modes to be restarted in the middle.
md: never advance 'events' counter by more than 1.
Remove deadlock potential in md_open
Normally we only allow the upper limit for a reshape to be decreased
when the array not performing a sync/recovery/reshape, otherwise there
could be races. But if an array is part-way through a reshape when it
is assembled the reshape is started immediately leaving no window
to set an upper bound.
If the array is started read-only, the reshape will be suspended until
the array becomes writable, so that provides a window during which it
is perfectly safe to reduce the upper limit of a reshape.
So: allow the upper limit (sync_max) to be reduced even if the reshape
thread is running, as long as the array is still read-only.

md/raid5 doesn't allow a reshape to restart if it involves writing
over the same part of disk that it would be reading from.
This happens at the beginning of a reshape that increases the number
of devices, at the end of a reshape that decreases the number of
devices, and continuously for a reshape that does not change the
number of devices.
The current code is correct for the "increase number of devices"
case as the critical section at the start is handled by userspace
performing a backup.
It does not work for reducing the number of devices, or the
no-change case.
For 'reducing', we need to invert the test. For no-change we cannot
really be sure things will be safe, so simply require the array
to be read-only, which is how the user-space code which carefully
starts such arrays works.

When assembling arrays, md allows two devices to have different event
counts as long as the difference is only '1'. This is to cope with
a system failure between updating the metadata on two difference
devices.
However there are currently times when we update the event count by
2. This was done to keep the event count even when the array is clean
and odd when it is dirty, which allows us to avoid writing common
update to spare devices and so allow those spares to go to sleep.
This is bad for the above reason. So change it to never increase by
two. This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain, but that is only a
small cost. The spares will get a few more updates but that will
still be spared (;-) most updates and can still go to sleep.
Prior to this patch there was a small chance that after a crash an
array would fail to assemble due to the overly large event count
mismatch.

Some gigabytes have on-board SIMG5723s connected to JMB ahcis. These
are used to implement hardware raid. Unfortunately some firmware
revisions on these 5723s don't bring the link down when all the
downstream ports are unoccupied while not responding to reset protocol
which makes libata think that there's device attached to the port but
is not responding and retry. This results in painfully wrong boot
detection time for these ports when they're empty.
This patch quirks those boards such that ahci gives up after the
initial timeout. Combined with parallel probing, this gives quick
enough probing and also is safe because SIMG5723 will respond to the
first try if any of the downstream ports is occupied.

Commit 783ea7d4ee
(Driver Core: Rework platform suspend/resume, print warning)
added a warning message printed for platform drivers that use the
legacy PM callbacks rather than struct dev_pm_ops. Unfortunately,
this resulted in some confusion and made some people try to convert
drivers by replacing the old callbacks with struct dev_pm_ops in
automatic way, which generally is not a good idea.
Remove the platform device runtime dev_pm_ops warning for now,
because it's annoying to users and it's not really necessary right
now.

Commit d945cb9cc ("pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering
logic") dropped the test for 'tty->stopped' in pty_write_room(), which
then causes the n_tty line discipline thing to not throttle the data
properly when the tty is stopped.
So instead of pausing the write due to the tty being stopped, the ldisc
layer would go ahead and push it down to the pty. The pty write()
routine would then refuse to take the data (because it _did_ check
'stopped'), and the data wouldn't actually be written.
This whole stopped test should eventually be moved into the tty ldisc
layer rather than have low-level tty drivers care about these things,
but right now the fix is to just re-instate the missing pty 'stopped'
handling.

PCI hotplug: SGI hotplug: do not use hotplug_slot_attr
PCI hotplug: SGI hotplug: fix build failure
A recent commit:
commit 449aad3e25
introduced the possibility of an A-B/B-A deadlock between
bd_mutex and reconfig_mutex.
__blkdev_get holds bd_mutex while calling md_open which takes
reconfig_mutex,
do_md_run is always called with reconfig_mutex held, and it now
takes bd_mutex in the call the revalidate_disk.
This potential deadlock was not caught by lockdep due to the
use of mutex_lock_interruptible_nexted which was introduced
by
commit d63a5a74de
do avoid a warning of an impossible deadlock.
It is quite possible to split reconfig_mutex in to two locks.
One protects the array data structures while it is being
reconfigured, the other ensures that an array is never even partially
open while it is being deactivated.
In particular, the second lock prevents an open from completing
between the time when do_md_stop checks if there are any active opens,
and the time when the array is either set read-only, or when ->pers is
set to NULL. So we can be certain that no IO is in flight as the
array is being destroyed.
So create a new lock, open_mutex, just to ensure exclusion between
'open' and 'stop'.
This avoids the deadlock and also avoids the lockdep warning mentioned
in commit d63a5a74d

The code which takes probed modes and adds them to a connector eliminates
duplicate modes by comparing them using drm_mode_equal. That function
doesn't consider the type bits, which means that any modes which differ only
in the type field will be lost.
One of the bits in the mode->type field is the DRM_MODE_TYPE_PREFERRED bit.
If the mode with that bit is lost, then higher level code will not know
which mode to select, causing a random mode to be used instead.
This patch simply merges the two mode type bits together; that seems
reasonable to me, but perhaps only a subset of the bits should be used? None
of these can be user defined as they all come from looking at just the
hardware.

This patch (as1273) fixes two(!) bugs introduced by the new
Clear-TT-Buffer implementation in ehci-hcd.
It is now possible for an idle QH to have some URBs on its
queue -- this will happen if a Clear-TT-Buffer is pending for
the QH's endpoint. Consequently we should not issue a warning
when someone tries to unlink an URB from an idle QH; instead
we should process the request immediately.
The refcounts for QHs could get messed up, because
submit_async() would increment the refcount when calling
qh_link_async() and qh_link_async() would then refuse to link
the QH into the schedule if a Clear-TT-Buffer was pending.
Instead we should increment the refcount only when the QH
actually is added to the schedule. The current code tries to
be clever by leaving the refcount alone if an unlink is
immediately followed by a relink; the patch changes this to an
unconditional decrement and increment (although they occur in
the opposite order).

Catalin and kmemleak spotted a leak of a VC screen buffer in
vc_allocate() due to the following chain of events:
vc_allocate()
visual_init(init=1)
vc->vc_sw->con_init(init=1)
fbcon_init()
vc_resize()
vc->screen_buf = kmalloc()
vc->screen_buf = kmalloc()
The common way for the VC drivers is to set the screen dimension
parameters manually in the init case and only call vc_resize() for
!init - which allocates a screen buffer according to the new
dimensions.
fbcon instead would do vc_resize() unconditionally and afterwards set
the dimensions manually (again) for !init - i.e. completely upside
down. The vc_resize() allocated buffer would then get lost by
vc_allocate() allocating a fresh one.
Use vc_resize() only for actual resizing to close the leak.
Set the dimensions manually only in initialization mode to remove the
redundant setting in resize mode.

This is caused by the current code changing the pointers assigned by
module_param. During unload it tries to free the memory the pointers
point at which is now part of an internal structure.
The patch simply avoids changing the pointers. This is okay as they are
read only once during the initialization process.
