For tape we need to control the retries. This patch adds a retries
counter on the request for REQ_BLOCK_PC commands originating from
scsi_execute* to use. REQ_BLOCK_PC commands comming from the block
layer SG_IO path continue to use the retires set in the ULD init_command.
(scsi_execute* does not set the gendisk so we do not execute
the init_command in that path).

Add scsi helpers to create really-large-requests and convert
scsi-ml to scsi_execute_async().
Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c.
I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so
I removed the warning on the function header.
I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue
and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them
if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel. That conversion
patch will be sent in another mail though.

ERR_SEVERITY item is defined as a 8 bits item in SAL documentation
($B.2.1 rev december 2003), but as an u16 in sal.h.
This has the side effect that current code in mca.c may not call

if there are bits set in the validation byte. Reported by Xavier Bru.

Some hardware does not support the PACKET command at all.
Other hardware supports ATAPI, but the driver does something nasty such
as calling BUG() when an ATAPI command is issued.
For these such cases, we mark them with a new flag, ATA_FLAG_NO_ATAPI.

This patch implements ata_exec_internal() function which performs
libata internal command execution. Previously, this was done by each
user by manually initializing a qc, issueing it, waiting for its
completion and handling errors. In addition to obvious code
factoring, using ata_exec_internal() fixes the following bugs.
* qc not freed on issue failure
* ap->qactive clearing could race with the next internal command
* race between timeout handling and irq
* ignoring error condition not represented in tf->status
Also, qc & hardware are not accessed anymore once it's completed,
making internal commands more conformant with general semantics.
ata_exec_internal() also makes it easy to issue internal commands from
multiple threads if that becomes necessary.
This patch only implements ata_exec_internal(). A following patch
will convert all users.

Jeff, all patches have been regenerated against upstream branch as of

Also, I took out a debug printk from ata_exec_internal (don't know how
that one got left there). Other than that, all patches are identical

The drawing function cfbfillrect does not work correctly when access is not
unsigned-long aligned. It manifests as extra lines of pixels that are not
complete drawn. Reversing the shift operator solves the problem, so I would
presume that this bug would manifest only on little endian machines. The
function cfbcopyarea may also have this bug.
Aligned access should present no problems.

Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par()
function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other
functions dependent on the hardware state are executed.
Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first
time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to
KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and
several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed
to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used
by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour.
There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on
10-dec-2005.
This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they
prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the
problems caused by the broken X releases.
The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other
drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X.
As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable
to everybody.

The below patch lets userspace have more control over the inodes that
inotify will watch. It introduces two new flags.
IN_ONLYDIR -- only watch the inode if it is a directory.
This is needed to avoid the race that can occur when we want to be
sure that we are watching a directory.
IN_DONT_FOLLOW -- don't follow a symlink. In combination
with IN_ONLYDIR we can make sure that we don't watch the target of
symlinks.
The issues the flags fix came up when writing the gnome-vfs inotify
backend. Default behaviour is unchanged.

This adds a timestamp field to the events sent via the process event
connector. The timestamp allows listeners to accurately account the
duration(s) between a process' events and offers strong means with which
to determine the order of events with respect to a given task while also
avoiding the addition of per-task data.
This alters the size and layout of the event structure and hence would
break compatibility if process events connector as it stands in 2.6.15-rc2
were released as a mainline kernel.

This introduces a new interface - rcu_barrier() which waits until all
the RCUs queued until this call have been completed.
Reiser4 needs this, because we do more than just freeing memory object
in our RCU callback: we also remove it from the list hanging off
super-block. This means, that before freeing reiser4-specific portion
of super-block (during umount) we have to wait until all pending RCU
callbacks are executed.
The only change of reiser4 made to the original patch, is exporting of
rcu_barrier().
