The netlink connector uses its own workqueue to relay the datas sent
from userspace to the appropriate callback. If you launch the test
from Documentation/connector and change it a bit to send a high flow
of data, you will see thousands of events coming to the "cqueue"
workqueue by looking at the workqueue tracer.
This flow of events can be sent very quickly. So, to not encumber the
kevent workqueue and delay other jobs, the "cqueue" workqueue should
remain.
But this workqueue is pointless most of the time, it will always be
created (assuming you have built it of course) although only
developpers with specific needs will use it.
So avoid this "most of the time useless task", this patch proposes to
create this workqueue only when needed once. The first jobs to be
sent to connector callbacks will be sent to kevent while the "cqueue"
thread creation will be scheduled to kevent too.
The following jobs will continue to be scheduled to keventd until the
cqueue workqueue is created, and then the rest of the jobs will
continue to perform as usual, through this dedicated workqueue.
Each time I tested this patch, only the first event was sent to
keventd, the rest has been sent to cqueue which have been created
quickly.
Also, this patch fixes some trailing whitespaces on the connector files.

The host really shouldn't be notifying us of config changes
before the device status is VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER or
VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK.
However, if we do happen to be interrupted while we're not
attached to a driver, we really shouldn't oops. Prevent
this simply by checking that device->driver is non-NULL
before trying to notify the driver of config changes.
Problem observed by doing a "set_link virtio.0 down" with
QEMU before the net driver had been loaded.

Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y) is
using a lot of memory.
Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines.
This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() &
percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage.
Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use
nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes.
On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce
size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module)
Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses
because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better
NUMA properties, since each CPU will use storage on its preferred node,
thanks to percpu storage.

This is a port of libata's pata_cs5536.c (written by Martin K. Petersen)
to IDE subsystem.
Changes done while at it:
* Reprogram PIO/MWDMA timings if needed before and after DMA transfer
(chipset uses shared PIO/MWDMA timings).
* Fix cable detection to report 80-wires cable if BIOS set it for any
device on a port (IDE core will do drive-side cable detection later).
* Don't disable UDMA while programming PIO timings.
* Simplify PCI/MSR support.
Pros of having IDE host driver in addition to libata's one:
* IDE is much lighter than SCSI+libata, the host driver itself is also
a bit smaller:
text data bss dec hex filename
1261 496 4 1761 6e1 drivers/ata/pata_cs5536.o
1242 128 4 1374 55e drivers/ide/cs5536.o
* This allows use of IDE features which are unavailable under libata.
v2:
* Fixes per review from Sergei:
- simplify dependency check in Kconfig
- use IDE_DRV_MASK also for ->drive_data
- disable UDMA when programming MWDMA
- program new DTC timings only when necessary
- fix printk() level in cs5536_init_one()
* Fix patch description according to comments from Alan and Sergei.
v3:
* Smarter masking of UDMA bits per Sergei's suggestion.

Since the complete re-write in 2.6.10, some PowerMacs (At least PowerMac 5500
and PowerMac G3 Beige rev A) with ATI Mach64 chip have suffered from unstable
columns in their framebuffer image. This seems to depend on a value (4) read
from PLL_EXT_CNTL register, which leads to incorrect DSP config parameters to
be written to the chip. This patch uses a value calculated by aty_init_pll_ct
instead, as a starting point.
There are questions as to whether this should be extended to other platforms
or maybe made dependent on specific chip types, but in the meantime, this has
been tested on various powermacs and works for them so let's commit it.

This essentially reverts commit 8edb08caf6.
It downgraded our mmap semaphore to a read-lock while mlocking pages, in
order to allow other threads (and external accesses like "ps" et al) to
walk the vma lists and take page faults etc. Which is a nice idea, but
the implementation does not work.
Because we cannot upgrade the lock back to a write lock without
releasing the mmap semaphore, the code had to release the lock entirely
and then re-take it as a writelock. However, that meant that the caller
possibly lost the vma chain that it was following, since now another
thread could come in and mmap/munmap the range.
The code tried to work around that by just looking up the vma again and
erroring out if that happened, but quite frankly, that was just a buggy
hack that doesn't actually protect against anything (the other thread
could just have replaced the vma with another one instead of totally
unmapping it).
The only way to downgrade to a read map _reliably_ is to do it at the
end, which is likely the right thing to do: do all the 'vma' operations
with the write-lock held, then downgrade to a read after completing them
all, and then do the "populate the newly mlocked regions" while holding
just the read lock. And then just drop the read-lock and return to user
space.
The (perhaps somewhat simpler) alternative is to just make all the
callers of mlock_vma_pages_range() know that the mmap lock got dropped,
and just re-grab the mmap semaphore if it needs to mlock more than one
vma region.
So we can do this "downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions"
thing right, but the way it was done here was absolutely not correct.
Thus the revert, in the expectation that we will do it all correctly
some day.
