commit 233bde21aa43516baa013ef7ac33f3427056db3e upstream.

It happens often while I'm preparing a patch for a block driver that
I'm wondering: is a definition of SECTOR_SIZE and/or SECTOR_SHIFT
available for this driver? Do I have to introduce definitions of these
constants before I can use these constants? To avoid this confusion,
move the existing definitions of SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT into the
&lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt; header file such that these become available for all
block drivers. Make the SECTOR_SIZE definition in the uapi msdos_fs.h
header file conditional to avoid that including that header file after
&lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt; causes the compiler to complain about a SECTOR_SIZE
redefinition.

Note: the SECTOR_SIZE / SECTOR_SHIFT / SECTOR_BITS definitions have
not been removed from uapi header files nor from NAND drivers in
which these constants are used for another purpose than converting
block layer offsets and sizes into a number of sectors.

[ Upstream commit 2bbea6e117357d17842114c65e9a9cf2d13ae8a3 ]

when mounting an ISO filesystem sometimes (very rarely)
the system hangs because of a race condition between two tasks.

super_block struct and owned the write-lock for the super_block-&gt;s_umount
rwsem. While exclusively owning the s_umount lock, it called
sr_block_ioctl and waited to acquire the global sr_mutex lock.

This task tried to open the cdrom device, the sr_block_open function
acquired the global sr_mutex lock. The call to check_disk_change()
then saw an event flag indicating a possible media change and tried
to flush any cached data for the device.
As part of the flush, it tried to acquire the super_block-&gt;s_umount
lock associated with the cdrom device.
This was the same super_block as created and locked by the previous task.

The first task acquires the s_umount lock and then the sr_mutex_lock;
the second task acquires the sr_mutex_lock and then the s_umount lock.

This patch fixes the issue by moving check_disk_change() out of
cdrom_open() and let the caller take care of it.

For block drivers that specify a parent device, convert them to use
device_add_disk().

This conversion was done with the following semantic patch:

    @@
    struct gendisk *disk;
    expression E;
    @@

    - disk-&gt;driverfs_dev = E;

...plus some manual fixups for a few missed conversions.

<title>mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM</title>

<content type='text'>
__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep.  Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep.  The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake.  As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags.  This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

<title>drivers: avoid format string in dev_set_name</title>

Calling dev_set_name with a single paramter causes it to be handled as a
format string.  Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string
content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents,
including wrappers like device_create*() and bdi_register().

The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those
only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way
out anyway, even if something tried to pass something meaningful.
Just don't bother.

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
really cares about is PDE(inode)-&gt;data.  Provide a helper
for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
layout.

The top of &lt;linux/irq.h&gt; has this comment:

 * Please do not include this file in generic code.  There is currently
 * no requirement for any architecture to implement anything held
 * within this file.
 *
 * Thanks. --rmk

Remove inclusion of &lt;linux/irq.h&gt;, to prevent the following compile error
from happening soon:

| include/linux/irq.h:132: error: redefinition of ‘struct irq_data’
| include/linux/irq.h:286: error: redefinition of ‘struct irq_chip’
