commit 2630628b2dbc3fc320aafaf84836119e4e3d62f1 upstream.

Apparently we now implicitly get definitions for BITS_PER_PAGE and
BITS_PER_PAGE_MASK from the pid_namespace.h

Instead of renaming our defines, I chose to define only if not yet
defined, but to double check the value if already defined.

<title>mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM</title>

<content type='text'>
__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep.  Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep.  The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake.  As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags.  This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

<title>block: add a bi_error field to struct bio</title>

<id>4246a0b63bd8f56a1469b12eafeb875b1041a451</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

The only user of drbd_md_flush was bm_rw(),
and it is always followed by either a drbd_md_sync(),
or an al_write_transaction(), which, if so configured,
both end up submiting a FLUSH|FUA request anyways.

Just trigger the occasional lazy bitmap write-out during resync
from the central wait_for_work() helper.

Previously, during resync, bitmap pages would be written out separately,
synchronously, one at a time, at least 8 times each (every 512 bytes
worth of bitmap cleared).

Now we trigger "merge friendly" bulk write out of all cleared pages
every two seconds during resync, and once the resync is finished.
Most pages will be written out only once.
