Pull staging tree update from Greg KH:
"Here's the large staging tree merge for 3.11-rc1
Huge thing here is the Lustre client code. Unfortunatly, due to it
not building properly on a wide variety of different architectures
(this was production code???), it is currently disabled from the build
so as to not annoy people.
Other than Lustre, there are loads of comedi patches, working to clean
up that subsystem, iio updates and new drivers, and a load of cleanups
from the OPW applicants in their quest to get a summer internship.
All of these have been in the linux-next releases for a while (hence
the Lustre code being disabled)"
Fixed up trivial conflict in drivers/staging/serqt_usb2/serqt_usb2.c due
to independent renamings in the staging driver cleanup and the USB

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/balbi/usb into usb-next
Felipe writes:
usb: patches for v3.11 merge window
All function drivers are now converted to our new configfs-based
binding. Eventually this will help us getting rid of in-kernel
gadget drivers and only keep function drivers in the kernel.
MUSB was taught that it needs to be built for host-only and
device-only modes too. We had this support long ago but it
involved a ridiculous amount of ifdefs. Now we have a much
cleaner approach.
Samsung Exynos4 platform now implements HSIC support.
We're introducing support for AB8540 and AB9540 PHYs.
MUSB module reinsertion now works as expected, before we were
getting -EBUSY being returned by the resource checks done on
driver core.
DWC3 now has minimum support for TI's AM437x series of SoCs.
OMAP5 USB3 PHY learned one extra DPLL configuration values because
that PHY is reused in TI's DRA7xx devices.
We're introducing support for Faraday fotg210 UDCs.
Last, but not least, the usual set of non-critical fixes and cleanups
ranging from usage of platform_{get,set}_drvdata to lock improvements.

Make it explicit that the format attributes may define overlapping bit
ranges. Unfortunately this was left unspecified originally, and all the
examples show non-overlapping ranges. I don't believe this is an ABI
change, as we are defining something that was previously undefined, but
others may disagree.
The POWER8 PMU would like to define overlapping ranges, as bit ranges in
the event code have different meanings for certain events. It will also
allow us to define an overarching "event" field, that encompasses all
others.
As far as I can see perf is comfortable with this change, however I am
not sure if there are any other users of the interface.

When an rbd image gets mapped a device entry gets created for it
under /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<id>/. Inside that directory there are
sysfs files that contain information about the image: its size,
feature bits, major device number, and so on.
Additionally, if that image has any snapshots, a device entry gets
created for each of those as a "child" of the mapped device. Each
of these is a subdirectory of the mapped device, and each directory
contains a few files with information about the snapshot (its
snapshot id, size, and feature mask).
There is no clear benefit to having those device entries for the
snapshots. The information provided via sysfs of of little real
value--and all of it is available via rbd CLI commands. If we
still wanted to see the kernel's view of this information it could
be done much more simply by including it in a single sysfs file for
the mapped image.
But there *is* a clear cost to supporting them. Every time a snapshot
context changes, these entries need to be updated (deleted snapshots
removed, new snapshots created). The rbd driver is notified of
changes to the snapshot context via callbacks from an osd, and care
must be taken to coordinate removal of snapshot data structures
with the possibility of one these notifications occurring.
Things would be considerably simpler if we just didn't have to
maintain device entries for the snapshots.
So get rid of them.
The ability to map a snapshot of an rbd image will remain; the only
thing lost will be the ability to query these sysfs directories for
information about snapshots of mapped images.
This resolves:

Commit 18a3870 (ACPI / PM: Expose lists of device power resources
to user space) exposed the lists of ACPI power resources associated
with power states of ACPI devices, but it didn't expose the lists
of ACPI wakeup power resources, which also is necessary to get the
full picture of dependencies between ACPI devices and power
resources.
For this reason, for every ACPI device node having a list of ACPI
wakeup power resources associated with it, expose that list to user
space in analogy with commit 18a3870.

Devices on the Intel Lynxpoint Low Power Subsystem (LPSS) have
registers providing access to LTR (Latency Tolerance Reporting)
functionality that allows software to monitor and possibly influence
the aggressiveness of the platform's active-state power management.
For each LPSS device, there are two modes of operation related to LTR,
the auto mode and the software mode. In the auto mode the LTR is
set up by the platform firmware and managed by hardware. Software
can only read the LTR register values to monitor the platform's
behavior. In the software mode it is possible to use LTR to control
the extent to which the platform will use its built-in power
management features.
This changeset adds support for reading the LPSS devices' LTR
registers and exposing their values to user space for monitoring and
diagnostics purposes. It re-uses the MMIO mappings created to access
the LPSS devices' clock registers for reading the values of the LTR
registers and exposes them to user space through sysfs device
attributes. Namely, a new atrribute group, lpss_ltr, is created for
each LPSS device. It contains three new attributes: ltr_mode,
auto_ltr, sw_ltr. The value of the ltr_mode attribute reflects the
LTR mode being used at the moment (software vs auto) and the other
two contain the actual register values (raw) whose meaning depends
on the LTR mode. All of these attributes are read-only.

Network coding exploits the 802.11 shared medium to allow multiple
packets to be sent in a single transmission. In brief, a relay can XOR
two packets, and send the coded packet to two destinations. The
receivers can decode one of the original packets by XOR'ing the coded
packet with the other original packet. This will lead to increased
throughput in topologies where two packets cross one relay.
In a simple topology with three nodes, it takes four transmissions
without network coding to get one packet from Node A to Node B and one
from Node B to Node A:
1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B
2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B
3. Node A <--- p2 ---- Node R Node B
4. Node A Node R ---- p1 ---> Node B
With network coding, the relay only needs one transmission, which saves
us one slot of valuable airtime:
1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B
2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B
3. Node A <- p1 x p2 - Node R - p1 x p2 -> Node B
The same principle holds for a topology including five nodes. Here the
packets from Node A and Node B are overheard by Node C and Node D,
respectively. This allows Node R to send a network coded packet to save
one transmission:
Node A Node B
| \ / |
| p1 p2 |
| \ / |
p1 > Node R < p2
| |
| / \ |
| p1 x p2 p1 x p2 |
v / \ v
/ \
Node C < > Node D
More information is available on the open-mesh.org wiki[1].
This patch adds the initial code to support network coding in
batman-adv. It sets up a worker thread to do house keeping and adds a
sysfs file to enable/disable network coding. The feature is disabled by
default, as it requires a wifi-driver with working promiscuous mode, and
also because it adds a small delay at each hop.

Introduce user space interface for manipulating hotplug profiles
associated with ACPI scan handlers.
The interface consists of sysfs directories under
/sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/, one for each hotplug profile, containing
an attribute allowing user space to manipulate the enabled field of
the corresponding profile. Namely, switching the enabled attribute
from '0' to '1' will cause the common hotplug notify handler to be
installed for all ACPI namespace objects representing devices matching
the scan handler associated with the given hotplug profile (and
analogously for the converse switch).
Drivers willing to use the new user space interface should add their
ACPI scan handlers with the help of new funtion
acpi_scan_add_handler_with_hotplug().

This patchset ("stable page writes, part 2") makes some key
modifications to the original 'stable page writes' patchset. First, it
provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag
that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page
contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that
this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the
flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait
only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining
disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to
provide stable page writes on those filesystems.
It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway)
this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the
original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not
fixing it sooner.
Complaints were registered by several people about the long write
latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset.
Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory
as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot
wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting
page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to
enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be
set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on
ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else.
Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that
have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would
be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible
that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support
to enable zero-copy writeout.
Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems.
Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure
latencies on ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat
----------------------------------------
WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817
ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391
Flush 15514 29.828 287.283
Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273
ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112
Flush 14982 30.540 298.634
Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms
As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms
on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms. I'm not sure why the flush latencies
increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives
the flusher more work to do.
On ext4, the average write latency decreases as well as all the maximum
latencies:
3.8.0-rc3:
WriteX 85624 0.152 33.078
ReadX 272090 0.010 61.210
Flush 12129 36.219 168.260
Throughput 44.8618 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=168.276 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 86082 0.141 30.928
ReadX 273358 0.010 36.124
Flush 12214 34.800 165.689
Throughput 44.9941 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=165.722 ms
XFS seems to exhibit similar latency improvements as ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
WriteX 125739 0.028 104.343
ReadX 399070 0.005 4.115
Flush 17851 25.004 131.390
Throughput 66.0024 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=131.406 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 123529 0.028 6.299
ReadX 392434 0.005 4.287
Flush 17549 25.120 188.687
Throughput 64.9113 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=188.704 ms
...and btrfs, just to round things out, also shows some latency
decreases:
3.8.0-rc3:

Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own
thing, so they'd wait too.
After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
provide their own wait code, or they don't block at all. The blocking
behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk
requiring stable page writes.
This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and
xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same
results as -rc3.
[1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and
page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use
ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely
slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped
by nearly an order of magnitude. That was a bit much even for the
author of the stable page series! :)
This patch:
Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must
be held immutable during writeout. Eventually it will be used to waive
wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages.
