Jens Axboe 7dcda1c96d fs: export empty_aops
With the ->sync_page() hook gone, we have a few users that
add their own static address_space_operations without any
functions defined.

fs/inode.c already has an empty_aops that it uses for init
purposes. Lets export that and use it in the places where
an otherwise empty aops was defined.

Jens Axboe 929e27252e ide: ide_requeue_and_plug() reinstate "always plug" behaviour
We see stalls if we don't always ensure that the queue gets run
again. Even if rq == NULL, we could have other pending requests
in the queue.

Christoph Hellwig ee3dea3549 ufs: remove unessecary blk_flush_plug
We already flush the per-process plugging list when context switching,
so a blk_flush_plug call just before a yield() is not needed.

Jens Axboe 53d63e6b0d block: make the flush insertion use the tail of the dispatch list
It's not a preempt type request, in fact we have to insert it
behind requests that do specify INSERT_FRONT.

Jens Axboe b710a48055 block: get rid of elv_insert() interface
Merge it with __elv_add_request(), it's pretty pointless to
have a function with only two callers. The main interface
is elv_add_request()/__elv_add_request().

Jens Axboe 8182924bc5 block: dump request state on seeing a corrupted request completion
Currently we just dump a non-informative 'request botched' message.
Lets actually try and print something sane to help debug issues
around this.

Daniel Baluta 9718269a7f kemleak-test: build as module only
mm/kmemleak-test.c is used to provide an example of how kmemleak
tool works.

Memory is leaked at module unload-time, so building the test
in kernel (Y) makes the leaks impossible and the test useless.

Qualify DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_TEST config symbol with "depends on m",
to restrict module-only building.

Linus Torvalds a5660b41af tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up
Commit f23eb2b2b2 ('tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer')
ended up causing hung machines on UP with no preemption, because the
work routine to flip the buffer data to the ldisc would endlessly re-arm
itself if the destination buffer had filled up.

With the delayed work, that only caused a timer-driving polling of the
tty state every timer tick, but without the delay we just ended up with
basically a busy loop instead.

Stop the insane polling, and instead make the code that opens up the
receive room re-schedule the buffer flip work.  That's what we should
have been doing anyway.

This same "poll for tty room" issue is almost certainly also the cause
of excessive kworker activity when idle reported by Dave Jones, who also
reported "flush_to_ldisc executing 2500 times a second" back in Nov 2010:

  http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/30/592

which is that silly flushing done every timer tick.  Wasting both power
and CPU for no good reason.
