cac36bb06e pipe: change the ->pin() operation to ->confirm()
The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer
in the most commonly used sense in the kernel. So change the
name to 'confirm', after debating this issue with Hugh
Dickins a bit.

A good return from ->confirm() means that the buffer is really
there, and that the contents are good.

d6b29d7cee splice: divorce the splice structure/function definitions from the pipe header
We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use
the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of
pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header

e9ca75b535 cciss: Fix pci_driver.shutdown while device is still active
Fix an Oops in the cciss driver caused by system shutdown while a filesystem
on a cciss device is still active.  The cciss_remove_one function only
properly removes the device if the device has been cleanly released by its
users, which is not the case when the pci_driver.shutdown method is called.

This patch adds a new cciss_shutdown function to better match the pattern
used by various SCSI drivers: deactivate device interrupts and flush caches.
It also alters the cciss_remove_one function to match and readds the
__devexit annotation that was removed when cciss_remove_one was serving as
the pci_driver.shutdown method.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge noted that the recent loop.c cleanups worked, but
cause lockdep to complain.

Ouch.  OK, the deadlock is real and yes, I'm an idiot.  Speaking of which,
we probably want to s/lock/pin/ in drivers/base/map.c to avoid such
brainos again.  And yes, this stuff needs clear documentation.  Will try

01f2705daf fs: convert core functions to zero_user_page
It's very common for file systems to need to zero part or all of a page,
the simplist way is just to use kmap_atomic() and memset().  There's
actually a library function in include/linux/highmem.h that does exactly
that, but it's confusingly named memclear_highpage_flush(), which is
descriptive of *how* it does the work rather than what the *purpose* is.
So this patchset renames the function to zero_user_page(), and calls it
from the various places that currently open code it.

This first patch introduces the new function call, and converts all the
core kernel callsites, both the open-coded ones and the old
memclear_highpage_flush() ones.  Following this patch is a series of
conversions for each file system individually, per AKPM, and finally a
patch deprecating the old call.  The diffstat below shows the entire
patchset.

For all of you that think cciss should be a scsi driver here is the patch that
you have been waiting for all these years. This patch actually adds the SG_IO
ioctl to cciss. The primary purpose is for clustering and high-availibilty.
But now anyone can exploit this ioctl in any manner they wish.

Note, SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND doesn't work with this patch due to rq->errors
being set incorrectly.  Subsequent patch fixes that.

7328508274 remove artificial software max_loop limit
Remove artificial maximum 256 loop device that can be created due to a
legacy device number limit.  Searching through lkml archive, there are
several instances where users complained about the artificial limit that
the loop driver impose.  There is no reason to have such limit.

This patch rid the limit entirely and make loop device and associated block
queue instantiation on demand.  With on-demand instantiation, it also gives
the benefit of not wasting memory if these devices are not in use (compare
to current implementation that always create 8 loop devices), a net
improvement in both areas.  This version is both tested with creation of
large number of loop devices and is compatible with existing losetup/mount
user land tools.

There are a number of people who worked on this and provided valuable
suggestions, in no particular order, by:

f991633de6 [PATCH] initramfs should not depend on CONFIG_BLOCK
initramfs ended up depending on BLOCK:

  INITRAMFS_SOURCE <-- BLK_DEV_INITRD <-- BLOCK

This inhibits use of customized-initramfs-over-ramfs without block layer
(ramfs would still be enabled), useful in embedded applications.

Move BLK_DEV_INITRD out of 'drivers/block/Kconfig' and into 'init/Kconfig',
make it unconditional.

de69fee82c [PATCH] cciss: add struct pci_driver shutdown support (replaces reboot notifier)
This patch adds support for the struct pci_driver shutdown method to cciss.
 We require notification of an impending reboot or shutdown so that we can

97c0697851 [PATCH] cciss: fix for 2TB support
This patch changes the way we determine if a logical volume is larger than
2TB.

The original test looked for a total_size of 0.  Originally we added 1 to the
total_size.  That would make our read_capacity return size 0 for >2TB lv's.
We assumed that we could not have a lv size of 0 so it seemed OK until we were
in a clustered system.  The backup node would see a size of 0 due to the
reservation on the drive.  That caused the driver to switch to 16-byte CDB's
which are not supported on older controllers.  After that everything was
broken.

It may seem petty but I don't see the value in trying to determine if the LBA
is beyond the 2TB boundary.  That's why when we switch we use 16-byte CDB's
for all read/write operations.  Please consider this for inclusion.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
