Remove all rcu head inits. We don't care about the RCU head state before passing
it to call_rcu() anyway. Only leave the "on_stack" variants so debugobjects can
keep track of objects on stack.

After merging the block tree, 20100414's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

ERROR: "get_gendisk" [block/blk-cgroup.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "sched_clock" [block/blk-cgroup.ko] undefined!

This happens because the two symbols aren't exported and hence not available
when blk-cgroup code is built as a module. I've tried to stay consistent with
the use of EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL with the other symbols in the
respective files.

Discard alignment reporting for partitions was incorrect.  Update to
match the algorithm used elsewhere.

The alignment can be negative (misaligned).  Fix format string
accordingly.

While SSDs track block usage on a per-sector basis, RAID arrays often
have allocation blocks that are bigger.  Allow the discard granularity
and alignment to be set and teach the topology stacking logic how to
handle them.

<title>block: Seperate read and write statistics of in_flight requests v2</title>

<id>316d315bffa4026f28085f6b24ebcebede370ac7</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit a9327cac440be4d8333bba975cbbf76045096275 added seperate read
and write statistics of in_flight requests. And exported the number
of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.

But  Corrado Zoccolo &lt;czoccolo@gmail.com&gt; reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.

So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899e9d6acb09d5465def618704255963b

The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
        if (now == part-&gt;stamp)
                return;

-       if (part-&gt;in_flight) {
+       if (part_in_flight(part)) {
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue,
                                part_in_flight(part) * (now - part-&gt;stamp));
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part-&gt;stamp));

With this chunk included, the reported regression gets fixed.

<title>Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissions</title>

This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions
for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero,
random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows
non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no
other userspace process applies the expected permissions.

This also fixes a wrong assignment in pktcdvd and a checkpatch.pl complain.

Let attribute group vectors be declared "const".  We'd
like to let most attribute metadata live in read-only
sections... this is a start.

Currently, there is a single in_flight counter measuring the number of
requests in the request_queue. But some monitoring tools would like to
know how many read requests and write requests are in progress. Split the
current in_flight counter into two seperate counters for read and write.

This information is exported as a sysfs attribute, as changing the
currently available stat files would break the existing tools.

Whenever a block device changes it's read-only attribute
notify the userspace about it.
