We only very rarely need the mempool backing, so it makes sense to
get rid of all but one of the mempool in a bio_set. So keep the
largest bio_vec count mempool so we can always honor the largest
allocation, and "upgrade" callers that fail.

Allow the scsi request REQ_QUIET flag to be propagated to the buffer
file system layer. The basic ideas is to pass the flag from the scsi
request to the bio (block IO) and then to the buffer layer. The buffer
layer can then suppress needless printks.
This patch declutters the kernel log by removed the 40-50 (per lun)
buffer io error messages seen during a boot in my multipath setup . It
is a good chance any real errors will be missed in the "noise" it the
logs without this patch.
During boot I see blocks of messages like
"
__ratelimit: 211 callbacks suppressed
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242847
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 1
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242878
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242872
"
in my logs.
My disk environment is multipath fiber channel using the SCSI_DH_RDAC
code and multipathd. This topology includes an "active" and "ghost"
path for each lun. IO's to the "ghost" path will never complete and the
SCSI layer, via the scsi device handler rdac code, quick returns the IOs
to theses paths and sets the REQ_QUIET scsi flag to suppress the scsi
layer messages.
I am wanting to extend the QUIET behavior to include the buffer file
system layer to deal with these errors as well. I have been running this
patch for a while now on several boxes without issue. A few runs of
bonnie++ show no noticeable difference in performance in my setup.
Thanks for John Stultz for the quiet_error finalization.

The paths in a DFS request are supposed to only have a single preceding
backslash, but we are sending them with a double backslash. This is
exposing a bug in Windows where it also sends a path in the response
that has a double backslash.
The existing code that builds the mount option string however expects a
double backslash prefix in a couple of places when it tries to use the
path returned by build_path_from_dentry. Fix compose_mount_options to
expect properly formed DFS paths (single backslash at front).
Also clean up error handling in that function. There was a possible
NULL pointer dereference and situations where a partially built option
string would be returned.

cifs: fix wait_for_response to time out sleeping processes correctly
The current scheme that CIFS uses to sleep and wait for a response is
not quite what we want. After sending a request, wait_for_response puts
the task to sleep with wait_event(). One of the conditions for
wait_event is a timeout (using time_after()).
The problem with this is that there is no guarantee that the process
will ever be woken back up. If the server stops sending data, then
cifs_demultiplex_thread will leave its response queue sleeping.
I think the only thing that saves us here is the fact that
cifs_dnotify_thread periodically (every 15s) wakes up sleeping processes
on all response_q's that have calls in flight. This makes for
unnecessary wakeups of some processes. It also means large variability
in the timeouts since they're all woken up at once.
Instead of this, put the tasks to sleep with wait_event_timeout. This
makes them wake up on their own if they time out. With this change,
cifs_dnotify_thread should no longer be needed.
I've been testing this in conjunction with some other patches that I'm
working on. It doesn't seem to affect performance at all with with heavy
I/O. Identical iozone -ac runs complete in almost exactly the same time
(<1% difference in times).
Thanks to Wasrshi Nimara for initially pointing this out. Wasrshi, it
would be nice to know whether this patch also helps your testcase.

Windows allows you to deny access to the top of a share, but permit access to
a directory lower in the path. With the prefixpath feature of cifs
(ie mounting \\server\share\directory\subdirectory\etc.) this should have
worked if the user specified a prefixpath which put the root of the mount
at a directory to which he had access, but we still were doing a lookup
on the root of the share (null path) when we should have been doing it on
the prefixpath subdirectory.

Some applications/subsystems require mandatory byte range locks
(as is used for Windows/DOS/OS2 etc). Sending advisory (posix style)
byte range lock requests (instead of mandatory byte range locks) can
lead to problems for these applications (which expect that other
clients be prevented from writing to portions of the file which
they have locked and are updating). This mount option allows
mounting cifs with the new mount option "forcemand" (or
"forcemandatorylock") in order to have the cifs client use mandatory
byte range locks (ie SMB/CIFS/Windows/NTFS style locks) rather than
posix byte range lock requests, even if the server would support
posix byte range lock requests. This has no effect if the server
does not support the CIFS Unix Extensions (since posix style locks
require support for the CIFS Unix Extensions), but for mounts
to Samba servers this can be helpful for Wine and applications
that require mandatory byte range locks.

The current code for setting the session serverName is IPv4-specific.
Allow it to be an IPv6 address as well. Use NIP* macros to set the
format.
This also entails increasing the length of the serverName field, so
declare a new macro for RFC1001 name length and use it in the
appropriate places.
Finally, drop the unicode_server_Name field from TCP_Server_Info since
it's not used. We can add it back later if needed, but for now it just
wastes memory.

arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary
format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable
stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could
be removed without replacement.
What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process
uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything
from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for
statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not
to map the vdso.
