Recent qemu has added a VIRTIO_BLK_F_FLUSH flag to advertise that the
virtual disk has a volatile write cache that needs to be flushed. In case
we see this feature implement tell the Linux block layer about the fact
and use the new VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to flush the cache when required. This
allows for an correct and simple implementation of write barriers.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Virtio IDs are spread all over the tree which makes assigning new IDs

This API change means that virtio_net can tell how much capacity
remains for buffers. It's necessarily fuzzy, since
VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC means we can fit any number of descriptors
in one, *if* we can kmalloc.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions
for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero,
random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows
non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no
other userspace process applies the expected permissions.This also fixes a wrong assignment in pktcdvd and a checkpatch.pl complain.

Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe -
We cannot acknowledge the sector write before checking its status
(which is done on the next loop iteration) and we also need to do
the final status register check after writing the last sector.Fix mg_write() to match mg_write_intr() in this regard.
While at it:
- add mg_read_one() and mg_write_one() helpers
- always use MG_SECTOR_SIZE and remove MG_STORAGE_BUFFER_SIZE[bart: thanks to Tejun for porting the patch over recent block changes]

The variable virtio_blk references the function virtblk_probe() (which
is in .devinit section) and also references the function
virtblk_remove() ( which is in .devexit section). So, virtio_blk
simultaneously refers .devinit and .devexit section. To avoid this
messup, we mark virtio_blk as __refdata.We were warned by the following warning:

By default a block driver bounces highmem requests, but virtio-blk is
