sony-laptop: fix bogus error message display on resume
sony_backlight_update_status returns 0 on success -1 on failure (i.e.: the
return value from acpi_callsetfunc. The return value in the resume path
was broken and thus always displaying a bogus warning about not being able
to restore the brightness level.

When resuming from standby (on a laptop) I see the following message in
my kernel.log:
"ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt received, switching to interrupt mode"
This apparently prevented sony-laptop to properly restore the brightness
level on resume.
The cause: In drivers/acpi/ec.c the acpi_ec_suspend function clears the
GPE mode bit, but this is not restored in acpi_ec_resume (the function
below it). The patch below fixes this by properly restoring the GPE_MODE
bit. Tested and confirmed to work.

driver synchronization: make scsi_wait_scan more advanced
There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage
device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the
scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this
module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers
were loaded before the module load are present.
Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async
stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only
waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take
into account at all that probing might not have begun yet.
(Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him)
This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which
had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for
the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did
it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml):
The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it
will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()
In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.
On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws
up the following errors:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to
be matched by variants on DECLARE.

Commit 14f7dd63 ("Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code") introduced a
bug to generic code which had been extant for a long time in the XFS

into the file systems' ->lookup() methods without i_mutex held on the
directory.
This patch fixes it by locking the directory's i_mutex again before
calling the filldir functions. The original deadlocks which commit 14f7dd63 was designed to avoid are still avoided, because they were due
to fs-internal locking, not i_mutex.
While we're at it, fix the return type of nfsd_buffered_readdir() which
should be a __be32 not an int -- it's an NFS errno, not a Linux errno.
And return nfserrno(-ENOMEM) when allocation fails, not just -ENOMEM.
Sparse would have caught that, if it wasn't so busy bitching about
__cold__.
Commit 05f4f678 ("nfsd4: don't do lookup within readdir in recovery

Btrfs: add a priority queue to the async thread helpers
Btrfs is using WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to send down synchronous IOs with a
higher priority. But, the checksumming helper threads prevent it
from being fully effective.
There are two problems. First, a big queue of pending checksumming
will delay the synchronous IO behind other lower priority writes. Second,
the checksumming uses an ordered async work queue. The ordering makes sure
that IOs are sent to the block layer in the same order they are sent
to the checksumming threads. Usually this gives us less seeky IO.
But, when we start mixing IO priorities, the lower priority IO can delay
the higher priority IO.
This patch solves both problems by adding a high priority list to the async
helper threads, and a new btrfs_set_work_high_prio(), which is used
to make put a new async work item onto the higher priority list.
The ordering is still done on high priority IO, but all of the high
priority bios are ordered separately from the low priority bios. This
ordering is purely an IO optimization, it is not involved in data
or metadata integrity.

Btrfs: use WRITE_SYNC for synchronous writes
Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for
writes we plan on waiting on in the near future. This patch
mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to
use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for
other latency critical writes.
Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done,
and then again to actually submit the bios. The bio submission code just
runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe.
This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the
WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.

[IA64] fix allmodconfig compilation breakage.
[IA64] smp_flush_tlb_mm() should only send IPI's to cpus in cpu_vm_mask
[IA64] export smp_send_reschedule
This patch fixes the following compilation error caused by recursive
inclusion of kernel.h which defines BUILD_BUG_ON().
In this case, the case it catches will be caught by the case
CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n, so removing it would not hurt compile time check
very much. So fix the breakage by removing it.

driver: dont update dev_name via device_add path
notice one system /proc/iomem some entries missed the name for pci_devices
it turns that dev->dev.kobj name is changed after device_add.
for pci code: via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.add (aka acpi_pci_root_add)
==> pci_acpi_scan_root is used to scan pci bus/device, and at the same
time we read the resource for pci_dev in the pci_read_bases, we have
res->name = pci_name(pci_dev); pci_name is calling dev_name.
later via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.start (aka acpi_pci_root_start) ==>

The dirty bit can get set during the inode glock sync. Its too
complicated to change that at the moment, so this is the quick
fix - to clear the bit again at the end of the function.

acpi-cpufreq: Do not let get_measured perf depend on internal variable
Take already available policy->cpuinfo.max_freq and get rid of acpi-cpufreq

This implies that P0 is always the highest frequency which should always
be true as ACPI spec says:
