43fac4d97a [SCSI] qla2xxx: Resolve a performance issue in interrupt
Reverted back a change in qla*_intr_handler code that caused an increase in
cpu cycles by allowing interrupts to occur while the instance hardware lock
was being held.  Fix by taking the lock in irqsave mode.

dc577d554a [SCSI] zfcp: Update FC pass-through support
Don't access the block layer request, get the payload length instead
from the FC job. Simplify access to the zfcp_port, only the d_id is
required, if the port is no longer accessed later. This is possible
when the els_handler does not access the port pointer from the ELS
request.

9e4f5e2961 [SCSI] FC Pass Thru support
Attached is the ELS/CT pass-thru patch for the FC Transport. The patch
creates a generic framework that lays on top of bsg and the SGIO v4 ioctl
in order to pass transaction requests to LLDD's.

The interface supports the following operations:
  On an fc_host basis:
    Request login to the specified N_Port_ID, creating an fc_rport.
    Request logout of the specified N_Port_ID, deleting an fc_rport
    Send ELS request to specified N_Port_ID w/o requiring a login, and
      wait for ELS response.
    Send CT request to specified N_Port_ID and wait for CT response.
      Login is required, but LLDD is allowed to manage login and decide
      whether it stays in place after the request is satisfied.
    Vendor-Unique request. Allows a LLDD-specific request to be passed
      to the LLDD, and the passing of a response back to the application.
  On an fc_rport basis:
    Send ELS request to nport and wait for ELS response.
    Send CT request to nport and wait for CT response.

The patch also exports several headers from include/scsi such that
they can be available to user-space applications:
  include/scsi/scsi.h
  include/scsi/scsi_netlink.h
  include/scsi/scsi_netlink_fc.h
  include/scsi/scsi_bsg_fc.h

df60aeef4f lguest: use eventfds for device notification
Currently, when a Guest wants to perform I/O it calls LHCALL_NOTIFY with
an address: the main Launcher process returns with this address, and figures
out what device to run.

A far nicer model is to let processes bind an eventfd to an address: if we
find one, we simply signal the eventfd.

9f155a9b3d lguest: allow any process to send interrupts
We currently only allow the Launcher process to send interrupts, but it
as we already send interrupts from the hrtimer, it's a simple matter of
extracting that code into a common set_interrupt routine.

As we switch to a thread per virtqueue, this avoids a bottleneck through the
main Launcher process.

a32a8813d0 lguest: improve interrupt handling, speed up stream networking
lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and
things still worked.  However, it makes a significant difference to TCP
performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag
and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable.

These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes
patch space, so we drop that code.

Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious
effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was
faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and
hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest!

Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any
measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment.

Before:
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host:		30.7 seconds
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO):	76.0 seconds

After:
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host:		6.8 seconds
	1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO):	27.8 seconds

9fa29b9df3 virtio: indirect ring entries (VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC)
Add a new feature flag for indirect ring entries. These are ring
entries which point to a table of buffer descriptors.

The idea here is to increase the ring capacity by allowing a larger
effective ring size whereby the ring size dictates the number of
requests that may be outstanding, rather than the size of those
requests.

This should be most effective in the case of block I/O where we can
potentially benefit by concurrently dispatching a large number of
large requests. Even in the simple case of single segment block
requests, this results in a threefold increase in ring capacity.

ef688e151c virtio: meet virtio spec by finalizing features before using device
Virtio devices are supposed to negotiate features before they start using
the device, but the current code doesn't do this.  This is because the
driver's probe() function invariably has to add buffers to a virtqueue,
or probe the disk (virtio_blk).

This currently doesn't matter since no existing backend is strict about
the feature negotiation.  But it's possible to imagine a future feature
which completely changes how a device operates: in this case, we'd need
to acknowledge it before using the device.

Note that I don't think the old fb_get_options() is required for new
drivers: the parameters automatically work as uvesafb.XXX=... anyway.

9a71af2c36 module_param: invbool should take a 'bool', not an 'int'
It takes an 'int' for historical reasons, and there are only two
users: simply switch it over to bool.

The other user (uvesafb.c) will get a (harmless-on-x86) warning until
the next patch is applied.

ab8e2eb722 cyber2000fb.c: use proper method for stopping unload if CONFIG_ARCH_SHARK
Russell explains the __module_get():
> cyber2000fb.c does it in its module initialization function
> to prevent the module (when built for Shark) from being unloaded.  It
> does this because it's from the days of 2.2 kernels and no one bothered
> writing the module unload support for Shark.

Since 2.4, the correct answer has been to not define an unload fn.

9fd5746fd3 fs: Remove i_cindex from struct inode
The only user of the i_cindex element in the inode structure is used
is by the firewire drivers.  As part of an attempt to slim down the
inode structure to save memory --- since a typical Linux system will
have hundreds of thousands if not millions of inodes cached, a
reduction in the size inode has high leverage.

The firewire driver does not need i_cindex in any fast path, so it's
simple enough to calculate when it is needed, instead of wasting space
in the inode structure.
