7d13af3279 partitions: use sector size for EFI GPT
Currently, kernel uses strictly 512-byte sectors for EFI GPT parsing.
That's wrong.

UEFI standard (version 2.3, May 2009, 5.3.1 GUID Format overview, page
95) defines that LBA is always based on the logical block size. It
means bdev_logical_block_size() (aka BLKSSZGET) for Linux.

This patch removes static sector size from EFI GPT parser.

The problem is reproducible with the latest GNU Parted:

 # modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=50 sector_size=4096

  # ./parted /dev/sdb print
  Model: Linux scsi_debug (scsi)
  Disk /dev/sdb: 52.4MB
  Sector size (logical/physical): 4096B/4096B
  Partition Table: gpt

  Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name     Flags
   1      24.6kB  3002kB  2978kB               primary
   2      3002kB  6001kB  2998kB               primary
   3      6001kB  9003kB  3002kB               primary

  # blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb
  # dmesg | tail -1
   sdb: unknown partition table      <---- !!!

with this patch:

  # blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb
  # dmesg | tail -1
   sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3

da0021841c cciss: Do not automatically rescan on UNIT ATTENTION/LUN DATA CHANGED
cciss: Do not automatically rescan on UNIT ATTENTION/LUN DATA CHANGED
There are problems with doing this.  If, say, several logical drives
are deleted at once, several such UNIT ATTENTIONS will be encountered,
often during the rescan triggered by the first such UNIT ATTENTION.
The block layer may be in the midst of trying to add logical drives
which were just deleted (resulting in the subsequent UNIT ATTENTION(s).)
Making the rescan code robust enough to tolerate this kind of thing
is too complicated for the moment.  So, for now, we just don't do it.
Note: This UNIT ATTENTION/LUN DATA CHANGED situation only occurs on
the MSA2012.

cf7c25cf91 cfq-iosched: fix next_rq computation
Cfq has a bug in computation of next_rq, that affects transition
between multiple sequential request streams in a single queue
(e.g.: two sequential buffered writers of the same priority),
causing the alternation between the two streams for a transient period.

e656ec8ae2 Do not deadlock in drbd_disconnect() [bugz 258]
When there are many blocks on the fly (ua), and the AL gets into "starving"
mode (random IO, scattered all over the device), and the connections gets
interrupted, the receiver thread deadlocks in the drbd_disconnect() code path.

Affected are only nodes in Primary role.

The bug triggers most likely on system that mirror over "long distances"

cc56f7de7f sendfile(): check f_op.splice_write() rather than f_op.sendpage()
sendfile(2) was reworked with the splice infrastructure, but it still
checks f_op.sendpage() instead of f_op.splice_write() wrongly.  Although
if f_op.sendpage() exists, f_op.splice_write() always exists at the same
time currently, the assumption will be broken in future silently.  This
patch also brings a side effect: sendfile(2) can work with any output
file.  Some security checks related to f_op are added too.

f21121cde6 block/ps3: fix slow VRAM IO
The current PS3 VRAM driver uses msleep() to wait for completion of RSX
DMA transfers between system memory and VRAM.  Depending on the system
timing, the processing delay and overhead of this msleep() call can
significantly impact VRAM driver IO.

To avoid the condition, add a short duration (200 usec max) udelay()
polling loop before entering the msleep() polling loop.

4b27e1bb44 cfq-iosched: limit coop preemption
CFQ has an optimization for cooperated applications. if several
io-context have close requests, they will get boost. But the
optimization get abused. Considering thread a, b, which work on one
file. a reads sectors s, s+2, s+4, ...; b reads sectors s+1, s+3, s
+5, ... Both a and b are sequential read, so they can open idle window.
a reads a sector s and goes to idle window and wakeup b. b reads sector
s+1, since in current implementation, cfq_should_preempt() thinks a and
b are cooperators, b will preempt a. b then reads sector s+1 and goes to
idle window and wakeup a. for the same reason, a will preempt b and
reads s+2. a and b will continue the circle. The circle will be very
long, and a and b will occupy whole disk queue. Other applications will
nearly have no chance to run.

Fix this limiting coop preempt until a queue is scheduled normally
again.

copy*user") had a silly typo: EINVAL should be -EINVAL.

89a8640279 NOMMU: Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in do_mmap_pgoff()
Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in the error handling paths of the NOMMU
do_mmap_pgoff() as it can't handle it.

The following can be used as a test program:

	int main() { static long long a[1024 * 1024 * 20] = { 0 }; return a;}

Without the patch, the code oopses in atomic_long_dec_and_test() as called by
fput() after the kernel complains that it can't allocate that big a chunk of
memory.  With the patch, the kernel just complains about the allocation size
and then the program segfaults during execve() as execve() can't complete the
allocation of all the new ELF program segments.
