locking init cleanups:
- convert " = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED" to spin_lock_init() or DEFINE_SPINLOCK()
- convert rwlocks in a similar manner
this patch was generated automatically.
Motivation:
- cleanliness
- lockdep needs control of lock initialization, which the open-coded
variants do not give
- it's also useful for -rt and for lock debugging in general

With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime. I'm now
considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI.
I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before
memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add.
In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add. But register_cpu(),
which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be
onlined before register_cpu(). When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be
there.
This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu
until node is onlined.
This removes node arguments from register_cpu().
Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument. But the array of
struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug
patch). We can get struct node in generic way. So, this argument is not
necessary now.
This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined. It
is necessary for node-hot-add vs. cpu-hot-add patch following this.
Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard
to its 'struct node *root' argument. This patch removes it.
Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed
by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

When new node becomes enable by hot-add, new sysfs file must be created for
new node. So, if new node is enabled by add_memory(), register_one_node() is
called to create it. In addition, I386's arch_register_node() and a part of
register_nodes() of powerpc are consolidated to register_one_node() as a
generic_code().
This is tested by Tiger4(IPF) with node hot-plug emulation.

This is to find node id from acpi's handle of memory_device in DSDT. _PXM for
the new node can be found by acpi_get_pxm() by using new memory's handle. So,
node id can be found by pxm_to_nid_map[].
This patch becomes simpler than v2 of node hot-add patch.
Because old add_memory() function doesn't have node id parameter.
So, kernel must find its handle by physical address via DSDT again.
But, v3 just give node id to add_memory() now.

Change the name of old add_memory() to arch_add_memory. And use node id to
get pgdat for the node at NODE_DATA().
Note: Powerpc's old add_memory() is defined as __devinit. However,
add_memory() is usually called only after bootup.
I suppose it may be redundant. But, I'm not well known about powerpc.
So, I keep it. (But, __meminit is better at least.)

(avoid redundant call add_memory)
When acpi_memory_device_init() is called at boottime to register struct
memory acpi_memory_device, acpi_bus_add() are called via
acpi_driver_attach().
But it also calls ops->start() function. It is called even if the memory
blocks are initialized at early boottime. In this case add_memory() return
-EEXIST, and the memory blocks becomes INVALID state even if it is normal.
This is patch to avoid calling add_memory() for already available memory.

(register start func for memory device)
This is a patch to call add_memroy() when notify reaches for new node's add
event.
When new node is added, notify of ACPI reaches container device which means
the node.
Container device driver calls acpi_bus_scan() to find and add belonging
devices (which means cpu, memory and so on). Its function calls add and
start function of belonging devices's driver.
Howevever, current memory hotplug driver just register add function to
create sysfs file for its memory. But, acpi_memory_enable_device() is not
called because it is considered just the case that notify reaches memory
device directly. So, if notify reaches container device nothing can call
add_memory().
This is a patch to create start function which calls add_memory().
add_memory() can be called by this when notify reaches container device.

Current acpi memory hotplug just looks into the first entry of resources in
_CRS. But, _CRS can contain plural resources. So, if _CRS contains plural
resoureces, acpi memory hot add cannot add all memory.
With this patch, acpi memory hotplug can deal with Memory Device, whose
_CRS contains plural resources.
Tested on ia64 memory hotplug test envrionment (not emulation, uses alpha
version firmware which supports dynamic reconfiguration of NUMA.)
Note: Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 requires big (>4G)resoureces to be
divided into small (<4G) resources. looks crazy, but not invalid.
(See http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/pnppwr/hotadd/hotaddmem.mspx)
For this reason, a firmware vendor who supports Windows writes plural
resources in a _CRS even if they are contiguous.

This reverts commit c7b2eff059fcc2d1b7085ee3d84b79fd657a537b.
Hugh Dickins explains:
"It seems too little tested: "losetup -d /dev/loop0" fails with
EINVAL because nothing sets lo_thread; but even when you patch
loop_thread() to set lo->lo_thread = current, it can't survive
more than a few dozen iterations of the loop below (with a tmpfs
mounted on /tst):
j=0
cp /dev/zero /tst
while :
do
let j=j+1
echo "Doing pass $j"
losetup /dev/loop0 /tst/zero
mkfs -t ext2 -b 1024 /dev/loop0 >/dev/null 2>&1
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt
umount /mnt
losetup -d /dev/loop0
done
it collapses with failed ioctl then BUG_ON(!bio).
I think the original lo_done completion was more subtle and safe
than the kthread conversion has allowed for."

During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.
Converted i386/x86-64/ia64 for now because that was the easiest
way to fix ACPI which also manipulates these flags in its idle
function.

Usually we don't care much about 'gcc -W' warnings, but some of us do build
kernels that way to look for problems, and then the fewer warnings we have
to wade through the better. Especially when they are very easy and
non-intrusive to clean up. Which is the case for the following warnings
spewed by drivers/usb/storage/usb.h :
drivers/usb/storage/usb.h:163: warning: `inline' is not at beginning of
+declaration
drivers/usb/storage/usb.h:166: warning: `inline' is not at beginning of
+declaration
There's also some precedence for cleaning up these warnings. I've had
a few patches merged in the past that remove exactly this class of
warnings.

This allows the state of an md/array to be directly controlled via sysfs and
adds the ability to stop and array without tearing it down.
Array states/settings:

No devices, no size, no level
Equivalent to STOP_ARRAY ioctl
inactive

all IO results in error
When written, doesn't tear down array, but just stops it
suspended (not supported yet)
All IO requests will block. The array can be reconfigured.
Writing this, if accepted, will block until array is quiescent
readonly
no resync can happen. no superblocks get written.
write requests fail

clean - no pending writes, but otherwise active.
When written to inactive array, starts without resync
If a write request arrives then
if metadata is known, mark 'dirty' and switch to 'active'.
if not known, block and switch to write-pending
If written to an active array that has pending writes, then fails.
active
fully active: IO and resync can be happening.
When written to inactive array, starts with resync
write-pending (not supported yet)
clean, but writes are blocked waiting for 'active' to be written.

- record the 'event' count on each individual device (they
might sometimes be slightly different now)
- add a new value for 'sb_dirty': '3' means that the super
block only needs to be updated to record a clean<->dirty
transition.
- Prefer odd event numbers for dirty states and even numbers
for clean states
- Using all the above, don't update the superblock on
a spare device if the update is just doing a clean-dirty
transition. To accomodate this, a transition from
dirty back to clean might now decrement the events counter
if nothing else has changed.
The net effect of this is that spare drives will not see any IO requests
during normal running of the array, so they can go to sleep if that is what
they want to do.

When an array has a bitmap, a device can be removed and re-added and only
blocks changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be resynced.
It should be possible to do a similar thing to arrays without bitmaps. i.e.
if a device is removed and re-added and *no* changes have been made in the
interim, then the add should not require a resync.
This patch allows that option. This means that when assembling an array one
device at a time (e.g. during device discovery) the array can be enabled
read-only as soon as enough devices are available, but extra devices can still
be added without causing a resync.

As data_disks is *less* than raid_disks, the current test here is obviously
wrong. And as the difference is already available in conf->max_degraded, it
makes much more sense to use that.

Fix problems with new bmap based access to bitmap files.
1/ When not using a file based bitmap, attach a NULL list of buffers
to each page so the common free_buffer routine can cope.
2/ Use submit_bh to read as well as write, rather than vfs_read.
This makes read and write more symetric.
3/ sync the file before reading, to ensure that the page cache has no
dirty pages that might get written out later.

If md is asked to store a bitmap in a file, it tries to hold onto the page
cache pages for that file, manipulate them directly, and call a cocktail of
operations to write the file out. I don't believe this is a supportable
approach.
This patch changes the approach to use the same approach as swap files. i.e.
bmap is used to enumerate all the block address of parts of the file and we
write directly to those blocks of the device.
swapfile only uses parts of the file that provide a full pages at contiguous
addresses. We don't have that luxury so we have to cope with pages that are
non-contiguous in storage. To handle this we attach buffers to each page, and
store the addresses in those buffers.
With this approach the pagecache may contain data which is inconsistent with
what is on disk. To alleviate the problems this can cause, md invalidates the
pagecache when releasing the file. If the file is to be examined while the
array is active (a non-critical but occasionally useful function), O_DIRECT io
must be used. And new version of mdadm will have support for this.
This approach simplifies a lot of code:
- we no longer need to keep a list of pages which we need to wait for,
as the b_endio function can keep track of how many outstanding
writes there are. This saves a mempool.
- -EAGAIN returns from write_page are no longer possible (not sure if
they ever were actually).

md/bitmap modifies i_writecount of a bitmap file to make sure that no-one else
writes to it. The reverting of the change is sometimes done twice, and there
is one error path where it is omitted.
This patch tidies that up.

md/bitmap code
md/bitmap gets a collection of pages representing the bitmap when it
initialises the bitmap, and puts all the references when discarding the
bitmap.
It also occasionally takes extra references without any good reason, and
sometimes drops them ... though it doesn't always drop them, which can result
in a memory leak.
This patch removes the unnecessary 'get_page' calls, and the corresponding
'put_page' calls.

md/bitmap has some attributes per-page. Handling of these attributes in
largely abstracted in set_page_attr and clear_page_attr. However
get_page_attr exposes the format used to store them. So prior to changing
that format, introduce test_page_attr instead of get_page_attr, and make
appropriate usage changes.

md/bitmap currently has a separate thread to wait for writes to the bitmap
file to complete (as we cannot get a callback on that action).
However this isn't needed as bitmap_unplug is called from process context and
waits for the writeback thread to do it's work. The same result can be
achieved by doing the waiting directly in bitmap_unplug.
