020ac5b6be fat: introduce special inode for managing the FSINFO block
This is patchset makes fatfs stop using the VFS '->write_super()' method
for writing out the FSINFO block.

The final goal is to get rid of the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread.  This
kernel thread wakes up every 5 seconds (by default) and calls
'->write_super()' for all mounted file-systems.  And the bad thing is that
this is done even if all the superblocks are clean.  Moreover, some
file-systems do not even need this end they do not register the
'->write_super()' method at all (e.g., btrfs).

So 'sync_supers()' most often just generates useless wake-ups and wastes
power.  I am trying to make all file-systems independent of
'->write_super()' and plan to remove 'sync_supers()' and '->write_super'
completely once there are no more users.

The '->write_supers()' method is mostly used by baroque file-systems like
hfs, udf, etc.  Modern file-systems like btrfs and xfs do not use it.
This justifies removing this stuff from VFS completely and make every FS
self-manage own superblock.

Tested with xfstests.

This patch:

Preparation for further changes.  It introduces a special inode
('fsinfo_inode') in FAT file-system which we'll later use for managing the
FSINFO block.  Note, this there is already one special inode ('fat_inode')
which is used for managing the FAT tables.

Introduce new 'MSDOS_FSINFO_INO' constant for this special inode.  It is
safe to do because FAT file-system does not store inode numbers on the
media but generates them run-time.

I've also cleaned up the comment to existing 'MSDOS_ROOT_INO' constant,
while on it.

a3860c1c5d introduce SIZE_MAX
ULONG_MAX is often used to check for integer overflow when calculating
allocation size.  While ULONG_MAX happens to work on most systems, there
is no guarantee that `size_t' must be the same size as `long'.

This patch introduces SIZE_MAX, the maximum value of `size_t', to improve
portability and readability for allocation size validation.

9793f7c889 SUNRPC: new svc_bind() routine introduced
This new routine is responsible for service registration in a specified
network context.

The idea is to separate service creation from per-net operations.

Note also: since registering service with svc_bind() can fail, the
service will be destroyed and during destruction it will try to
unregister itself from rpcbind. In this case unregistration has to be
skipped.

3fc929e2d6 net/mlx4_core: Fix number of EQs used in ICM initialisation
In SRIOV mode, the number of EQs used when computing the total ICM size
was incorrect.

To fix this, we do the following:
1. We add a new structure to mlx4_dev, mlx4_phys_caps, to contain physical HCA
   capabilities.  The PPF uses the phys capabilities when it computes things
   like ICM size.

   The dev_caps structure will then contain the paravirtualized values, making
   bookkeeping much easier in SRIOV mode. We add a structure rather than a
   single parameter because there will be other fields in the phys_caps.

   The first field we add to the mlx4_phys_caps structure is num_phys_eqs.

2. In INIT_HCA, when running in SRIOV mode, the "log_num_eqs" parameter
   passed to the FW is the number of EQs per VF/PF; each function (PF or VF)
   has this number of EQs available.

   However, the total number of EQs which must be allowed for in the ICM is
   (1 << log_num_eqs) * (#VFs + #PFs).  Rather than compute this quantity,
   we allocate ICM space for 1024 EQs (which is the device maximum
   number of EQs, and which is the value we place in the mlx4_phys_caps structure).

   For INIT_HCA, however, we use the per-function number of EQs as described
   above.

a4f9a9a635 fsnotify: handle subfiles' perm events
Recently I'm working on fanotify and found the following strange
behaviors.

I wrote a program to set fanotify_mark on "/tmp/block" and FAN_DENY
all events notified.

fanotify_mask = FAN_ALL_EVENTS | FAN_ALL_PERM_EVENTS | FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD:
$ cd /tmp/block; cat foo
cat: foo: Operation not permitted

Operation on the file is blocked as expected.

But,

fanotify_mask = FAN_ALL_PERM_EVENTS | FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD:
$ cd /tmp/block; cat foo
aaa

It's not blocked anymore.  This is confusing behavior.  Also reading
commit "fsnotify: call fsnotify_parent in perm events", it seems like
fsnotify should handle subfiles' perm events as well as the other notify
events.

With this patch, regardless of FAN_ALL_EVENTS set or not:
$ cd /tmp/block; cat foo
cat: foo: Operation not permitted

Operation on the file is now blocked properly.

FS_OPEN_PERM and FS_ACCESS_PERM are not listed on FS_EVENTS_POSS_ON_CHILD.
 Due to fsnotify_inode_watches_children() check, if you only specify only
these events as fsnotify_mask, you don't get subfiles' perm events
notified.

This patch add the events to FS_EVENTS_POSS_ON_CHILD to get them notified
even if only these events are specified to fsnotify_mask.

5aaa0b7a2e sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load calculations some more
Follow up on commit 556061b00 ("sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[]
calculations") since while that fixed the busy case it regressed the
mostly idle case.

Add a callback from the nohz exit to also age the rq->cpu_load[]
array. This closes the hole where either there was no nohz load
balance pass during the nohz, or there was a 'significant' amount of
idle time between the last nohz balance and the nohz exit.

So we'll update unconditionally from the tick to not insert any
accidental 0 load periods while busy, and we try and catch up from
nohz idle balance and nohz exit. Both these are still prone to missing
a jiffy, but that has always been the case.

14674e7011 i2c: Split I2C_M_NOSTART support out of I2C_FUNC_PROTOCOL_MANGLING
Since there are uses for I2C_M_NOSTART which are much more sensible and
standard than most of the protocol mangling functionality (the main one
being gather writes to devices where something like a register address
needs to be inserted before a block of data) create a new I2C_FUNC_NOSTART
for this feature and update all the users to use it.

Also strengthen the disrecommendation of the protocol mangling while we're
at it.

In the case of regmap-i2c we remove the requirement for mangling as
I2C_M_NOSTART is the only mangling feature which is being used.

e907df3272 watchdog: Add support for dynamically allocated watchdog_device structs
If a driver's watchdog_device struct is part of a dynamically allocated
struct (which it often will be), merely locking the module is not enough,
even with a drivers module locked, the driver can be unbound from the device,
examples:
1) The root user can unbind it through sysfd
2) The i2c bus master driver being unloaded for an i2c watchdog

I will gladly admit that these are corner cases, but we still need to handle
them correctly.

The fix for this consists of 2 parts:
1) Add ref / unref operations, so that the driver can refcount the struct
   holding the watchdog_device struct and delay freeing it until any
   open filehandles referring to it are closed
2) Most driver operations will do IO on the device and the driver should not
   do any IO on the device after it has been unbound. Rather then letting each
   driver deal with this internally, it is better to ensure at the watchdog
   core level that no operations (other then unref) will get called after
   the driver has called watchdog_unregister_device(). This actually is the
   bulk of this patch.
