I don't like the subtle multi-context code in bd_claim (ie. detects where it
has been called based on bd_claiming). It seems clearer to just require a new
function to finish a 2-part claim.
Also improve commentary in bd_start_claiming as to how it should
be used.

nfsd4: shut down callback queue outside state lock
nfsd: nfsd_setattr needs to call commit_metadata
Reinstate the null behaviour that the in-kernel gdbstub had for the GDB
remote protocol 'p' command (retrieve a single register value) prior to
commit 7ca8b9c0da ("frv: extend gdbstub to support more features of
gdb").
Before that, the 'p' command just returned an empty reply, which causes
gdb to then go and use the 'g' command. However, since that commit, the
'p' command returns an error string, which causes gdb to abort its
connection to the target.
Not all gdb versions are affected, some use try 'g' first, and if that
works, don't bother with 'p', and so don't see the error.

10, 233 is allocated officially to /dev/kmview which is shipping in
Ubuntu and Debian distributions. vhost_net seem to have borrowed it
without making a proper request and this causes regressions in the other
distributions.
vhost_net can use a dynamic minor so use that instead. Also update the
file with a comment to try and avoid future misunderstandings.

The commit "asm-generic: add NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH to define sg_dma_len()"
18e98307de broke microblaze compilation.
dma_direct_map_sg() sets sg->dma_length, however microblaze doesn't
set NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH so scatterlist strcutres doesn't include
dma_length.
sg->dma_length is always equal to sg->length on microblaze. So we
don't need to set set dma_length, that is, microblaze can simply use
sg->length.

sync can currently take a really long time if a concurrent writer is
extending a file. The problem is that the dirty pages on the address
space grow in the same direction as write_cache_pages scans, so if
the writer keeps ahead of writeback, the writeback will not
terminate until the writer stops adding dirty pages.
For a data integrity sync, we only need to write the pages dirty at
the time we start the writeback, so we can stop scanning once we get
to the page that was at the end of the file at the time the scan
started.
This will prevent operations like copying a large file preventing
sync from completing as it will not write back pages that were
dirtied after the sync was started. This does not impact the
existing integrity guarantees, as any dirty page (old or new)
within the EOF range at the start of the scan will still be
captured.
This patch will not prevent sync from blocking on large writes into
holes. That requires more complex intervention while this patch only
addresses the common append-case of this sync holdoff.

If a filesystem writes more than one page in ->writepage, write_cache_pages
fails to notice this and continues to attempt writeback when wbc->nr_to_write
has gone negative - this trace was captured from XFS:
wbc_writeback_start: towrt=1024
wbc_writepage: towrt=1024
wbc_writepage: towrt=0
wbc_writepage: towrt=-1
wbc_writepage: towrt=-5
wbc_writepage: towrt=-21
wbc_writepage: towrt=-85
This has adverse effects on filesystem writeback behaviour. write_cache_pages()
needs to terminate after a certain number of pages are written, not after a
certain number of calls to ->writepage are made. This is a regression
introduced by 17bc6c30cf ("vfs: Add
no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag"), but cannot be reverted
directly due to subsequent bug fixes that have gone in on top of it.

When we receive a deauthentication frame before
having successfully associated, we neither print
a message nor abort assocation. The former makes
it hard to debug, while the latter later causes
a warning in cfg80211 when, as will typically be
the case, association timed out.
This warning was reported by many, e.g. in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15981,
but I couldn't initially pinpoint it. I verified
the fix by hacking hostapd to send a deauth frame
instead of an association response.
