It is not possible to unplug emulated cdrom devices, and PV cdroms don't

Add a xen_emul_unplug command line option to the kernel to unplug
xen emulated disks and nics.
Set the default value of xen_emul_unplug depending on whether or
not the Xen PV frontends and the Xen platform PCI driver have
been compiled for this kernel (modules or built-in are both OK).
The user can specify xen_emul_unplug=ignore to enable PV drivers on HVM
even if the host platform doesn't support unplug.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.
Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...
* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
* applying new API to all LLDs
Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

When booting Xen Dom0 on a pre-release 3.2.1 hypervisor the system Oopses on a

From the backtrace it looks like backend_changed is calling bdget_disk

allows the kernel to boot.
On occasion, the request will apparently have more segments than we

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

Until recently, the maximum number of xvd block devices you could attach

Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path by
preventing the allocations from doing IO and allowing them
to access the emergency pools.
These paths are used when a frontend device is trying to connect
to its backend driver over Xenbus. These reconnections are triggered
on demand by IO, so by definition there is already IO underway,
and further IO would naturally deadlock. On resume, this path
is triggered when the running system tries to continue using its
devices. If it cannot then the resume will fail; to try to avoid this
we let it dip into the emergency pools.

mkinitrd to find the new version of the module.

When the xen block frontend driver is built as a module the module load
is only synchronous up to the point where the frontend and the backend
become connected rather than when the disk is added.
This means that there can be a race on boot between loading the module and
loading the dm-* modules and doing the scan for LVM physical volumes (all
in the initrd). In the failure case the disk is not present until after the
scan for physical volumes is complete.

info->dev is never initialized to anything, so bdget(info->dev) is
meaningless. Get rid of info->dev, and use bdget_disk on the gendisk.

Frontends are expected to write their protocol ABI to xenstore. Since
the protocol ABI defaults to the backend's native ABI, things work
fine without that as long as the frontend's native ABI is identical to
the backend's native ABI. This is not the case for xen-blkfront
running 32-on-64, because its ABI differs between 32 and 64 bit, and
thus needs this fix.

The below implements the getgeo hook for Xen block devices. Extracted
from the xen-unstable tree where it has been used for ages.
It is useful to have because it allows things like grub2 (used by the
Debian installer images) to work in a guest domain without having to
sprinkle Xen specific hacks around the place.

This patch converts xen-blkfront to use blk_end_request interfaces.
Related 'uptodate' arguments are converted to 'error'.

Every usage of rq_for_each_bio wraps a usage of
bio_for_each_segment, so these can be combined into
rq_for_each_segment.
We define "struct req_iterator" to hold the 'bio' and 'index' that
are needed for the double iteration.

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
the proper type.
