next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed
in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc.
Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range
(and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the
helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.
So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1"
doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the
pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow
case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to
overflow).
[ Use PID_MAX_LIMIT rather than pid_max as per Eric Biederman ]

Instead of overloading __blk_run_queue to force an offload to kblockd
add a new blk_run_queue_async helper to do it explicitly. I've kept
the blk_queue_stopped check for now, but I suspect it's not needed
as the check we do when the workqueue items runs should be enough.

MD can't use this since it really requires us to be able to
keep more than a single piece of state for the unplug. Commit
048c9374 added the required support for MD, so get rid of this
now unused code.

md/raid requires an unplug callback, but as it does not uses
requests the current code cannot provide one.

Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
we should be able to get the best of both worlds.
So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
and only use that from the schedule() path.

For the explicit unplugging, we'd prefer to kick things off
immediately and not pay the penalty of the latency to switch
to kblockd. So let blk_finish_plug() do the run inline, while
the implicit-on-schedule-out unplug will punt to kblockd.

It's a bit of a mess currently. task->plug is being cleared
and reset in __blk_finish_plug(), and blk_finish_plug() is
testing for a NULL plug which cannot happen even from schedule()
anymore since it uses blk_needs_flush_plug() to determine
whether to call into this function at all.
So get rid of some of the cruft.

5520e89 ("brk: fix min_brk lower bound computation for COMPAT_BRK")
tried to get the whole logic of brk randomization for legacy
(libc5-based) applications finally right.
It turns out that the way to detect whether brk has actually been
randomized in the end or not introduced by that patch still doesn't work
for those binaries, as reported by Geert:
: /sbin/init from my old m68k ramdisk exists prematurely.
:
: Before the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80006000
:
: After the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80005c8e
:
: Old libc5 considers brk() to have failed if the return value is not
: identical to the requested value.
I don't like it, but currently see no better option than a bit flag in
task_struct to catch the CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK && randomize_va_space == 2
case.

Now that we've removed the rq->lock requirement from the first part of
ttwu() and can compute placement without holding any rq->lock, ensure
we execute the second half of ttwu() on the actual cpu we want the
task to run on.
This avoids having to take rq->lock and doing the task enqueue
remotely, saving lots on cacheline transfers.
