This patch removes some unneeded checks of pointers being NULL before
calling kfree() on them. kfree() handles NULL pointers just fine, checking
first is pointless.

writeback
Due to the use of write-behind, it is possible for md to write a page to
the bitmap file that is still completing writeback. This is not allowed.
With this patch, we detect those cases and either force a sync write, or
back off and try later, as appropriate.

currently, md updates all superblocks (one on each device) in series. It
waits for one write to complete before starting the next. This isn't a big
problem as superblock updates don't happen that often.
However it is neater to do it in parallel, and if the drives in the array have
gone to "sleep" after a period of idleness, then waking them is parallel is
faster (and someone else should be worrying about power drain).
Futher, we will need parallel superblock updates for a future patch which
keeps the intent-logging bitmap near the superblock.
Also remove the silly code that retired superblock updates 100 times. This
simply never made sense.

This provides an alternate to storing the bitmap in a separate file. The
bitmap can be stored at a given offset from the superblock. Obviously the
creator of the array must make sure this doesn't intersect with data....
After is good for version-0.90 superblocks.

Before completing a 'write' the md superblock might need to be updated.
This is best done by the md_thread.
The current code schedules this up and queues the write request for later
handling by the md_thread.
However some personalities (Raid5/raid6) will deadlock if the md_thread
tries to submit requests to its own array.
So this patch changes things so the processes submitting the request waits
for the superblock to be written and then submits the request itself.
This fixes a recently-created deadlock in raid5/raid6

When looking for pages that need cleaning we skip pages that don't have
BITMAP_PAGE_CLEAN set. But if it is the 'current' page we will have cleared
that bit ourselves, so skipping it is wrong. So: move the 'skip this page'
inside 'if page != lastpage'.
Also fold call of file_page_offset into the one place where the value (bit) is
used.

properly. The infrastructure all there, but it isn't being used....

As the array-wide clean bit (in the superblock) is set more agressively than
the bits in the bitmap are cleared, it is possible to have an array which is
clean despite there being bits set in the bitmap.
These bits will currently never get cleared, as they can only be cleared by a
resync pass, which never happens.
No, when reading bits from disk, be aware of whether the whole array is known
to be in sync, and act accordingly.

With this patch, the intent to write to some block in the array can be logged
to a bitmap file. Each bit represents some number of sectors and is set
before any update happens, and only cleared when all writes relating to all
sectors are complete.
After an unclean shutdown, information in this bitmap can be used to optimise
resync - only sectors which could be out-of-sync need to be updated.
Also if a drive is removed and then added back into an array, the recovery can
make use of the bitmap to optimise reconstruction. This is not implemented in
this patch.
Currently the bitmap is stored in a file which must (obviously) be stored on a
separate device.
The patch only provided infrastructure. It does not update any personalities
to bitmap intent logging.
Md arrays can still be used with no bitmap file. This patch has minimal
impact on such arrays.

1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced)
from 'int' to 'sector_t'.
The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit
in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return
the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large.
Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use
0 instead
2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report
that it skipped the sectors. This allows md to take this into account
in the speed calculations.
Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync
that is coming will use this.

When md marks the superblock dirty before a write, it calls
generic_make_request (to write the superblock) from within
generic_make_request (to write the first dirty block), which could cause
problems later.
With this patch, the superblock write is always done by the helper thread, and
write request are delayed until that write completes.
Also, the locking around marking the array dirty and writing the superblock is
improved to avoid possible races.

md_enter_safemode checks if it is time to mark the md superblock as 'clean'.
i.e. if all writes have completed and a suitable delay has passed.
This is currently called from md_handle_safemode which in-turn is called
(almost) every time md_check_recovery is called, and from the end of
md_do_sync which causes the mddev->thread to run, which will always call
md_check_recovery as well.
So it doesn't need to be a separate function and fits quite well into
md_check_recovery.
The "almost" is because multipathd calls md_check_recovery but not
md_handle_safemode. This is OK because the code from md_enter_safemode is a
no-op if mddev->safemode == 0, which it always is for a multipathd (providing
we don't allow it to be set to 2 on a signal...)

Currently when going from vgacon to fbcon the VT screenbuffer are often
different sizes. In the case when they are different sizes a new VT
screenbuffer is allocated and the contents are copied into the new buffer.
Currently the amount copied from VGA text memory to the new screenbuf is
the size of the framebuffer console. If the framebuffer console new VT
screen buffer is greater than the VGA text memory size then we get some of
the VGA BIOS contents as well.
This patch will only allow you to copy up to the size of VGA text memory
now. The rest is filled with erase characters.

s1d13xxxfb_remove() is referenced from s1d13xxxfb_probe(), which is marked
__devinit(). So s1d13xxxfb_remove() cannot be marked __devexit.
Does this all make sense? Clearly the __devexit section will still be in
core when the __devinit code is run, if the driver was loaded as a module.
But I suppose that if the driver is statically linked, the __devexit section
might be dropped early in boot. Still, we wouldn't drop __devexit prior to
initcall completion, at which point the __devinit code has all been run
anyway.
verdict: this code was legal and made sense. Is this a generic problem, or an
arm-specific problem?

Several hardware features of SGI's IOC4 I/O controller chip require

The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip drivers are currently all configured by
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SGIIOC4. This is undesirable as not all IOC4 hardware features
are needed by all systems.
This patch adds two configuration variables, CONFIG_SGI_IOC4 for core IOC4
driver support (see patch 1/3 in this series for further explanation) and
CONFIG_SERIAL_SGI_IOC4 to independently enable serial port support.

This series of patches reworks the configuration and internal structure
of the SGI IOC4 I/O controller device drivers.
These changes are motivated by several factors:
- The IOC4 chip PCI resources are of mixed use between functions (i.e.
multiple functions are handled in the same address range, sometimes
within the same register), muddling resource ownership and initialization
issues. Centralizing this ownership in a core driver is desirable.
- The IOC4 chip implements multiple functions (serial, IDE, others not
yet implemented in the mainline kernel) but is not a multifunction
PCI device. In order to properly handle device addition and removal
as well as module insertion and deletion, an intermediary IOC4-specific
driver layer is needed to handle these operations cleanly.
- All IOC4 drivers are currently enabled by a single CONFIG value. As
not all systems need all IOC4 functions, it is desireable to enable
these drivers independently.
- The current IOC4 core driver will trigger loading of all function-level
drivers, as it makes direct calls to them. This situation should be
reversed (i.e. function-level drivers cause loading of core driver)
in order to maintain a clear and least-surprise driver loading model.
- IOC4 hardware design necessitates some driver-level dependency on
the PCI bus clock speed. Current code assumes a 66MHz bus, but the
speed should be autodetected and appropriate compensation taken.
This patch series effects the above changes by a newly and better designed
IOC4 core driver with which the function-level drivers can register and
deregister themselves upon module insertion/removal. By tracking these
modules, device addition/removal is also handled properly. PCI resource
management and ownership issues are centralized in this core driver, and
IOC4-wide configuration actions such as bus speed detection are also
handled in this core driver.
This patch:
The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip implements multiple functions, though it is
not a multi-function PCI device. Additionally, various PCI resources of the
IOC4 are shared by multiple hardware functions, and thus resource ownership by
driver is not clearly delineated. Due to the current driver design, all core
and subordinate drivers must be loaded, or none, which is undesirable if not
all IOC4 hardware features are being used.
This patch reorganizes the IOC4 drivers so that the core driver provides a
subdriver registration service. Through appropriate callbacks the subdrivers
can now handle device addition and removal, as well as module insertion and
deletion (though the IOC4 IDE driver requires further work before module
deletion will work). The core driver now takes care of allocating PCI
resources and data which must be shared between subdrivers, to clearly
delineate module ownership of these items.
