GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to
remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and
does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it
when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request
without GFP_THISNODE set.
However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive
aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or
triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page
migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable
memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a
concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim.
Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy
to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but
at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake
kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation
happen when memory is full.

I was reviewing this and noticed that unlocking should be conditional on
the error path. I've changed it to unlock and return directly since we
only do it once and it seems unlikely to change in the near future.

iovcnt is declared as a signed integer in both the userspace API and
as a local variable in mic_virtio.c. The while() loop in mic_virtio.c
iterates until the local variable iovcnt reaches the value 0. If
userspace passes e.g. INT_MIN as iovcnt field, this loop then appears
to depend on an undefined behavior (signed underflow) to complete.
The fix is to use unsigned integers in both the userspace API and
the local variable.

Pull driver core / sysfs patches from Greg KH:
"Here's the big driver core and sysfs patch set for 3.14-rc1.
There's a lot of work here moving sysfs logic out into a "kernfs" to
allow other subsystems to also have a virtual filesystem with the same
attributes of sysfs (handle device disconnect, dynamic creation /
removal as needed / unneeded, etc)
This is primarily being done for the cgroups filesystem, but the goal
is to also move debugfs to it when it is ready, solving all of the
known issues in that filesystem as well. The code isn't completed
yet, but all should be stable now (there is a big section that was
reverted due to problems found when testing)
There's also some other smaller fixes, and a driver core addition that
allows for a "collection" of objects, that the DRM people will be
using soon (it's in this tree to make merges after -rc1 easier)
All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues"

1. MEI_DEV_RESETTING device state spans only hardware reset flow
while starting dev state is saved into a local variable for further
reference, this let us to reduce big if statements in case we
are trying to avoid nested resets
2. During initializations if the reset ended in MEI_DEV_DISABLED device
state we bail out with -ENODEV
3. Remove redundant interrupts_enabled parameter as this
can be deduced from the starting dev_state
4. mei_reset propagates error code to the caller
5. Add mei_restart function to wrap the pci resume

This fixes a potential deadlock in case of a firmware
initiated reset
mei_reset has a dialog with the interrupt thread hence
it has to be run from an another work item
Most of the mei_resets were called from mei_hbm_dispatch
which is called in interrupt thread context so this
function underwent major revamp. The error code is
propagated to the interrupt thread and if needed
the reset is scheduled from there.
