module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

For historical reasons, we allow module_param(bool) to take an int (or
an unsigned int). That's going away.A few drivers really want an int: they set it to -1 and a parameter
will set it to 0 or 1. This sucks: reading them from sysfs will give
'Y' for both -1 and 1, but if we change it to an int, then the users
might be broken (if they did "param" instead of "param=1").Use a new 'bint' parser for them.
(ntfs has a different problem: it needs an int for debug_msgs because
it's also exposed via sysctl.)Cc: Steve Glendinning

We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the
real device ones. That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is
used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU).Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting
d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci. In
particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU
utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to
14%.By comparison, this branch is in the noise.

If an IO request is build on an alias device without prefix enabled
we try to calculate with zero data from the alias device. This

The 'expires' value of a ccw requests defines how long the device
driver should wait for a response from the evice after the request has
been submitted to the channel subsystem. After the expiration time
(e.g. 30 seconds) the waiting request will be cancelled and started
again. This protects the DASD devices from beeing blocked by errors
that cause the answering I/O interrupt to be lost.In case of error recovery requests, this 'expires' value used to be
set to 0, so in case of a lost interrupt, such a recovery request
would never expire and block the device. To prevent this kind of
problem, all recovery requests need to have an expires value > 0 as
well. If not specified otherwise, this should be the same expires
value as for the original request.Signed-off-by: Stefan Weinhuber

This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.Cc: Haavard Skinnemoen

zfcp_scsi_slave_destroy erroneously always tried to finish its task
even if the corresponding previous zfcp_scsi_slave_alloc returned
early. This can lead to kernel page faults on accessing uninitialized
fields of struct zfcp_scsi_dev in zfcp_erp_lun_shutdown_wait. Take the
port field of the struct to determine if slave_alloc returned early.This zfcp bug is exposed by 4e6c82b (in turn fixing f7c9c6b to be
compatible with 21208ae) which can call slave_destroy for a
corresponding previous slave_alloc that did not finish.This patch is based on James Bottomley's fix suggestion in

If a driver wants to do command mode IO while CIO is doing
online path verification we ignore this request and provide
a fake irb when we are done and the driver can do IO again.For transport mode IO we have no such mechanism, giving the

done. This is not very reliable.Provide a fake irb for transport mode IO as well.

When a driver requests to do IO, we will adjust the mask of
paths to be used to exclude varied offline paths.Drivers trying to do IO solely on paths which are online but some
way defective may lack the information to do proper error handling.There is no reason to allow the usage of known to be broken paths.
Thus restrict the paths a ccw driver can use for IO to a subset of
