<id>fded4e090c60100d709318896c79816d68d5b47d</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy
I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server,
network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs.

There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped
and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to
nbd's internal waiting_queue.  When this happens, those requests are
never completed or freed.

The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in
the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being
cleared.

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe:

 - Making the plugging support for drivers a bit more sane from Neil.
   This supersedes the plugging change from Shaohua as well.

 - The usual round of drbd updates.

 - Using a tail add instead of a head add in the request completion for
   ndb, making us find the most completed request more quickly.

 - A few floppy changes, getting rid of a duplicated flag and also
   running the floppy init async (since it takes forever in boot terms)
   from Andi.

* 'for-3.6/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  floppy: remove duplicated flag FD_RAW_NEED_DISK
  blk: pass from_schedule to non-request unplug functions.
  block: stack unplug
  blk: centralize non-request unplug handling.
  md: remove plug_cnt feature of plugging.
  block/nbd: micro-optimization in nbd request completion
  drbd: announce FLUSH/FUA capability to upper layers
  drbd: fix max_bio_size to be unsigned
  drbd: flush drbd work queue before invalidate/invalidate remote
  drbd: fix potential access after free
  drbd: call local-io-error handler early
  drbd: do not reset rs_pending_cnt too early
  drbd: reset congestion information before reporting it in /proc/drbd
  drbd: report congestion if we are waiting for some userland callback
  drbd: differentiate between normal and forced detach
  drbd: cleanup, remove two unused global flags
  floppy: Run floppy initialization asynchronous

<title>nbd: set SOCK_MEMALLOC for access to PFMEMALLOC reserves</title>

<id>7f338fe4540b1d0600b02314c7d885fd358e9eca</id>
<content type='text'>
Set SOCK_MEMALLOC on the NBD socket to allow access to PFMEMALLOC reserves
so pages backed by NBD, particularly if swap related, can be cleaned to
prevent the machine being deadlocked.  It is still possible that the
PFMEMALLOC reserves get depleted resulting in deadlock but this can be
resolved by the administrator by increasing min_free_kbytes.
