percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Smaller size than a minimum blocksize can't be used, after all it's
handled like 0 size.

For extended partition itself, this makes sure to use bigger size than one
logical sector size at least.

<title>fs/partitions/msdos: add support for large disks</title>

In order to use disks larger than 2TiB on Windows XP, it is necessary to
use 4096-byte logical sectors in an MBR.

Although the kernel storage and functions called from msdos.c used
"sector_t" internally, msdos.c still used u32 variables, which results in
the ability to handle XP-compatible large disks.

This patch changes the internal variables to "sector_t".

Daniel said: "In the near future, WD will be releasing products that need
this patch".

<title>partitions: read whole sector with EFI GPT header</title>

The size of EFI GPT header is not static, but whole sector is
allocated for the header. The HeaderSize field must be greater
than 92 (= sizeof(struct gpt_header) and must be less than or
equal to the logical block size.

It means we have to read whole sector with the header, because the
header crc32 checksum is calculated according to HeaderSize.

Currently, kernel uses strictly 512-byte sectors for EFI GPT parsing.
That's wrong.

UEFI standard (version 2.3, May 2009, 5.3.1 GUID Format overview, page
95) defines that LBA is always based on the logical block size. It
means bdev_logical_block_size() (aka BLKSSZGET) for Linux.

This patch removes static sector size from EFI GPT parser.

The problem is reproducible with the latest GNU Parted:

 # modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=50 sector_size=4096

  # ./parted /dev/sdb print
  Model: Linux scsi_debug (scsi)
  Disk /dev/sdb: 52.4MB

While SSDs track block usage on a per-sector basis, RAID arrays often
have allocation blocks that are bigger.  Allow the discard granularity
and alignment to be set and teach the topology stacking logic how to

<title>block: Seperate read and write statistics of in_flight requests v2</title>

<id>316d315bffa4026f28085f6b24ebcebede370ac7</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit a9327cac440be4d8333bba975cbbf76045096275 added seperate read
and write statistics of in_flight requests. And exported the number
of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.

But  Corrado Zoccolo &lt;czoccolo@gmail.com&gt; reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.

So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899e9d6acb09d5465def618704255963b

The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
        if (now == part-&gt;stamp)
                return;

-       if (part-&gt;in_flight) {
+       if (part_in_flight(part)) {
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue,
                                part_in_flight(part) * (now - part-&gt;stamp));
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part-&gt;stamp));

With this chunk included, the reported regression gets fixed.

Commit a9327cac440be4d8333bba975cbbf76045096275 added seperate read
and write statistics of in_flight requests. And exported the number
of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.

But  Corrado Zoccolo &lt;czoccolo@gmail.com&gt; reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.

So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899e9d6acb09d5465def618704255963b

The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
        if (now == part-&gt;stamp)
                return;

-       if (part-&gt;in_flight) {
+       if (part_in_flight(part)) {
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue,
                                part_in_flight(part) * (now - part-&gt;stamp));
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part-&gt;stamp));

With this chunk included, the reported regression gets fixed.

I bisected it down to:

statistics of in_flight requests
and verified that reverting just that commit indeed solves the issue
on 2.6.32-rc1."

So until this is debugged, revert the bad commit.
