The variable n is being bit-wise or'd with a value and reassigned
before being returned. The update of n is redundant, replace
the |= operator with | instead. Cleans up clang scan warning:

drivers/block/aoe/aoecmd.c:125:9: warning: Although the value stored
to 'n' is used in the enclosing expression, the value is never
actually read from 'n' [deadcode.DeadStores]

<title>aoe: don't call set_capacity from irq context</title>

<id>8a6f7bbf29d1d61d3ff18f0a0feead9f287c9b14</id>
<content type='text'>
Updating the block device size from irq context can lead to torn
writes of the 64-bit value, and prevents us from using normal
process context locking primitives to serialize access to the 64-bit
nr_sectors value.  Defer the set_capacity to the already existing
workqueue handler, where it can be merged with the update of the
block device size by using set_capacity_and_notify.  As an extra
bonus this also adds proper uevent notifications for the resize.

<id>c2e4cd57cfa1f627b786c764d185fff85fd12be9</id>
<content type='text'>
Drivers shouldn't really mess with the readahead size, as that is a VM
concept.  Instead set it based on the optimal I/O size by lifting the
algorithm from the md driver when registering the disk.  Also set
bdi-&gt;io_pages there as well by applying the same scheme based on
max_sectors.  To ensure the limits work well for stacking drivers a
new helper is added to update the readahead limits from the block
limits, which is also called from disk_stack_limits.
