kernel-doc: prevent duplicate description: output

Prevent duplicate output of a Description: section when there is a "blank"
("*") line between the initial function name/description line and the
"Description:" header.

Test case:  drivers/scsi/scsi_devinfo.c::scsi_init_devinfo().

Rob Landley hit this while he was producing SCSI kernel-doc.

VFS: swap do_ioctl and vfs_ioctl names

Rename old vfs_ioctl to do_ioctl, because the comment above it clearly
indicates that it is an internal function not to be exported to modules;
therefore it should have a more traditional do_XXX name.  The new do_ioctl
is exported in fs.h but not to modules.

Rename the old do_ioctl to vfs_ioctl because the names vfs_XXX should
preferably be reserved to callable VFS functions which modules may call, as
many other vfs_XXX functions already do.  Export the new vfs_ioctl to GPL
modules so others can use it (including Unionfs and eCryptfs).  Add DocBook
for new vfs_ioctl.

power_supply: remove capacity_level from list of sysfs attributes

    power: remove POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL

Removed CAPACITY_LEVEL from every other code, leaving the array with sysfs
attributes with one more entry than the number of enums in power_supply.h.
This leads to some attributes containing the value of the attribute right
after it.  For example, temp_ambient would have the value of
time_to_empty_now.  In my case, I had time_to_full_avg have the value which
should be in model_name, when the former was usually empty.

x86: fix iret exception recovery on 64-bit

This change broke recovery of exceptions in iret:

   commit 72fe4858544292ad64600765cb78bc02298c6b1c
   Author: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com>

       x86: replace privileged instructions with paravirt macros

The ENTRY(native_iret) macro adds alignment padding before the iretq
instruction, so "iret_label" no longer points exactly at the instruction.
It was sloppy to leave the old "iret_label" label behind when replacing
its nearby use.  Removing it would have revealed the other use of the
label later in the file, and upon noticing that use, anyone exercising
the minimum of attention to detail expected of anyone touching this
subtle code would realize it needed to change as well.

after the end of the code (+bss), which is wrong for example in
environments with randomized brk start. The proper way is to check whether

ext3: fix lock inversion in direct IO

We cannot start transaction in ext3_direct_IO() and just let it last during
the whole write because dio_get_page() acquires mmap_sem which ranks above
transaction start (e.g.  because we have dependency chain
mmap_sem->PageLock->journal_start, or because we update atime while holding
mmap_sem) and thus deadlocks could happen.  We solve the problem by
starting a transaction separately for each ext3_get_block() call.

We *could* have a problem that we allocate a block and before its data are
written out the machine crashes and thus we expose stale data.  But that
does not happen because for hole-filling generic code falls back to
buffered writes and for file extension, we add inode to orphan list and
thus in case of crash, journal replay will truncate inode back to the
original size.

setting PNP_DRIVER_RES_DISABLE (0x0003).  The latter including the former
may in itself be considered rather unexpected but doesn't change that

survive swsusp hibernation with the resume skipping setting the resources
due to testing the flag -- the same test in the suspend path isn't enough
to keep hibernation from disabling the card it seems.

These tests were added (in 2005) by Piere Ossman in commit
68094e3251a664ee1389fcf179497237cbf78331, "alsa: Improved PnP suspend
support" who doesn't remember why.  This deletes them.

pnp: declare PNP option parsing functions as __init

There are three kind of parse functions provided by PNP acpi/bios:
 - get current resources
 - set resources
 - get possible resources
The first two may be needed later at runtime.
The possible resource settings should never change dynamically.
And even if this would make any sense (I doubt it), the current implementation

md: fix an occasional deadlock in raid5

raid5's 'make_request' function calls generic_make_request on underlying
devices and if we run out of stripe heads, it could end up waiting for one of
those requests to complete.  This is bad as recursive calls to
generic_make_request go on a queue and are not even attempted until
make_request completes.

So: don't make any generic_make_request calls in raid5 make_request until all
waiting has been done.  We do this by simply setting STRIPE_HANDLE instead of
calling handle_stripe().

If we need more stripe_heads, raid5d will get called to process the pending
stripe_heads which will call generic_make_request from a

This change by itself causes a performance hit.  So add a change so that
raid5_activate_delayed is only called at unplug time, never in raid5.  This
seems to bring back the performance numbers.  Calling it in raid5d was
sometimes too soon...

  How about we queue it for 2.6.25-rc1 and then about when -rc2 comes out,
  we queue it for 2.6.24.y?

Due to possible deadlock issues we need to use a schedule work to kobject_del
an 'rdev' object from a different thread.

A recent change means that kobject_add no longer gets a refernce, and
kobject_del doesn't put a reference.  Consequently, we need to explicitly hold

md: allow devices to be shared between md arrays

Currently, a given device is "claimed" by a particular array so that it cannot
be used by other arrays.

This is not ideal for DDF and other metadata schemes which have their own
partitioning concept.

So for externally managed metadata, just claim the device for md in general,
require that "offset" and "size" are set properly for each device, and make
sure that if a device is included in different arrays then the active sections
do not overlap.

This involves adding another flag to the rdev which makes it awkward to set
"->flags = 0" to clear certain flags.  So now clear flags explicitly by name
when we want to clear things.

md: set and test the ->persistent flag for md devices more consistently

If you try to start an array for which the number of raid disks is listed as
zero, md will currently try to read metadata off any devices that have been
given.  This was done because the value of raid_disks is used to signal
whether array details have been provided by userspace (raid_disks > 0) or must
be read from the devices (raid_disks == 0).

However for an array without persistent metadata (or with externally managed
metadata) this is the wrong thing to do.  So we add a test in do_md_run to
give an error if raid_disks is zero for non-persistent arrays.

This requires that mddev->persistent is set corrently at this point, which it
currently isn't for in-kernel autodetected arrays.

So set ->persistent for autodetect arrays, and remove the settign in
super_*_validate which is now redundant.

Also clear ->persistent when stopping an array so it is consistently zero when
starting an array.

md: support 'external' metadata for md arrays

- Add a state flag 'external' to indicate that the metadata is managed
  externally (by user-space) so important changes need to be
  left of user-space to handle.
  Alternates are non-persistant ('none') where there is no stable metadata -
  after the  array is stopped there is no record of it's status - and
  internal which can be version 0.90 or version 1.x
  These are selected by writing to the 'metadata' attribute.

- move the updating of superblocks (sync_sbs) to after we have checked if
  there are any superblocks or not.

- New array state 'write_pending'.  This means that the metadata records
  the array as 'clean', but a write has been requested, so the metadata has
  to be updated to record a 'dirty' array before the write can continue.
  This change is reported to md by writing 'active' to the array_state
  attribute.

- tidy up marking of sb_dirty:
   - don't set sb_dirty when resync finishes as md_check_recovery
     calls md_update_sb when the sync thread finishes anyway.
   - Don't set sb_dirty in multipath_run as the array might not be dirty.
   - don't mark superblock dirty when switching to 'clean' if there
     is no internal superblock (if external, userspace can choose to
     update the superblock whenever it chooses to).

md: Update md bitmap during resync.

Currently an md array with a write-intent bitmap does not updated that bitmap
to reflect successful partial resync.  Rather the entire bitmap is updated
when the resync completes.

This is because there is no guarentee that resync requests will complete in
order, and tracking each request individually is unnecessarily burdensome.

However there is value in regularly updating the bitmap, so add code to
periodically pause while all pending sync requests complete, then update the
bitmap.  Doing this only every few seconds (the same as the bitmap update
time) does not notciably affect resync performance.
