The write-back code mixes words "thread" and "task" for the same things. This
is not a big deal, but still an inconsistency.
hch: a convention I tend to use and I've seen in various places
is to always use _task for the storage of the task_struct pointer,
and thread everywhere else. This especially helps with having
foo_thread for the actual thread and foo_task for a global
variable keeping the task_struct pointer
This patch renames:
* 'bdi_add_default_flusher_task()' -> 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()'
* 'bdi_forker_task()' -> 'bdi_forker_thread()'
because bdi threads are 'bdi_writeback_thread()', so these names are more
consistent.
This patch also amends commentaries and makes them refer the forker and bdi
threads as "thread", not "task".
Also, while on it, make 'bdi_add_default_flusher_thread()' declaration use
'static void' instead of 'void static' and make checkpatch.pl happy.

of BIO_RW_* flags
linux/fs.h hard coded READ/WRITE constants which should match BIO_RW_*
flags. This is fragile and caused breakage during BIO_RW_* flag
rearrangement. The hardcoding is to avoid include dependency hell.
Create linux/bio_types.h which contatins definitions for bio data
structures and flags and include it from bio.h and fs.h, and make fs.h
define all READ/WRITE related constants in terms of BIO_RW_* flags.

BIO_RW_* bits
Commit a82afdf (block: use the same failfast bits for bio and request)
moved BIO_RW_* bits around such that they match up with REQ_* bits.
Unfortunately, fs.h hard coded RW_MASK, RWA_MASK, READ, WRITE, READA
and SWRITE as 0, 1, 2 and 3, and expected them to match with BIO_RW_*
bits. READ/WRITE didn't change but BIO_RW_AHEAD was moved to bit 4
instead of bit 1, breaking RWA_MASK, READA and SWRITE.
This patch updates RWA_MASK, READA and SWRITE such that they match the
BIO_RW_* bits again. A follow up patch will update the definitions to
directly use BIO_RW_* bits so that this kind of breakage won't happen
again.
Neil also spotted missing RWA_MASK conversion.
Stable: The offending commit a82afdf was released with v2.6.32, so
this patch should be applied to all kernels since then but it must
_NOT_ be applied to kernels earlier than that.

SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK is clearly documented to only affect blocking on the
pipe. In __generic_file_splice_read(), however, it causes an EAGAIN
if the page is currently being read.
This makes it impossible to write an application that only wants
failure if the pipe is full. For example if the same process is
handling both ends of a pipe and isn't otherwise able to determine
whether a splice to the pipe will fill it or not.
We could make the read non-blocking on O_NONBLOCK or some other splice
flag, but for now this is the simplest fix.

If there's no feature-barrier key in xenstore, then it means its a fairly

When barriers are supported, then use QUEUE_ORDERED_TAG to tell the block
subsystem that it doesn't need to do anything else with the barriers.
Previously we used ORDERED_DRAIN which caused the block subsystem to
drain all pending IO before submitting the barrier, which would be
very expensive.

scsi-ml uses REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC for flush requests from file
systems. The definition of REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC is that we don't retry
requests even when we can (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION) and we send the
response to the callers (then the callers can decide what they want).
We need a workaround such as the commit
77a4229719e511a0d38d9c355317ae1469adeb54 to retry BLOCK_PC flush
requests. We will need the similar workaround for discard requests too
since SCSI-ml handle them as BLOCK_PC internally.
This uses REQ_TYPE_FS for flush requests from file systems instead of
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC.
scsi-ml retries only REQ_TYPE_FS requests that have data to
transfer when we can retry them (e.g. UNIT_ATTENTION). However, we
also need to retry REQ_TYPE_FS requests without data because the
callers don't.
This also changes scsi_check_sense() to retry all the REQ_TYPE_FS
requests when appropriate. Thanks to scsi_noretry_cmd(),
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests don't be retried as before.
Note that basically, this reverts the commit
77a4229719e511a0d38d9c355317ae1469adeb54 since now we use REQ_TYPE_FS
for flush requests.

From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp>
Subject: [PATCH resend] scsi: convert discard to REQ_TYPE_FS from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC
The block layer (file systems) sends discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS
(the role of REQ_TYPE_FS is that setting up commands and interpreting
the results). But SCSI-ml treats discard requests as
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC.
scsi-ml can handle discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS
easily. scsi_setup_discard_cmnd() sets up struct request and the bio
nicely. Only remaining issue is that discard requests can't be
completed partially so we need to modify sd_done.
This conversion also fixes the problem that discard requests aren't
retried when possible (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION).

cciss: separate cmd_alloc() and cmd_special_alloc()
cmd_alloc() took a parameter which caused it to either allocate
from a pre-allocated pool, or allocate using pci_alloc_consistent.
This parameter is always known at compile time, so this would
be better handled by breaking the function into two functions
and differentiating the cases by function names. Same goes
for cmd_free().

cciss: forbid hard reset of 640x boards
The 6402/6404 are two PCI devices -- two Smart Array controllers
-- that fit into one slot. It is possible to reset them independently,
however, they share a battery backed cache module. One of the pair
controls the cache and the 2nd one access the cache through the first
one. If you reset the one controlling the cache, the other one will
not be a happy camper. So we just forbid resetting this conjoined
mess.

cciss: Fix hard reset code.
Smart Array controllers newer than the P600 do not honor the
PCI power state method of resetting the controllers. Instead,
in these cases we can get them to reset via the "doorbell" register.
This escaped notice until we began using "performant" mode because
the fact that the controllers did not reset did not normally
impede subsequent operation, and so things generally appeared to
"work". Once the performant mode code was added, if the controller
does not reset, it remains in performant mode. The code immediately
after the reset presumes the controller is in "simple" mode
(which previously, it had remained in simple mode the whole time).
If the controller remains in performant mode any code which presumes
it is in simple mode will not work. So the reset needs to be fixed.
Unfortunately there are some controllers which cannot be reset by
either method. (eg. p800). We detect these cases by noticing that
the controller seems to remain in performant mode even after a
reset has been attempted. In those cases we ignore the controller,
as any commands outstanding on it will result in stale completions.
To sum up, we try to do a better job of resetting the controller if
"reset_devices" is set, and if it doesn't work, we ignore that
controller.

We cannot read backend state within bdev operations, because it risks

Fixed by tracking deferral with a frontend switch to Closing. State
