Currently we write out all journal buffers in WRITE_SYNC mode. This improves
performance for fsync heavy workloads but hinders performance when writes
are mostly asynchronous, most noticably it slows down readers and users
complain about slow desktop response etc.
So submit writes as asynchronous in the normal case and only submit writes as
WRITE_SYNC if we detect someone is waiting for current transaction commit.
I've gathered some numbers to back this change. The first is the read latency
test. It measures time to read 1 MB after several seconds of sleeping in
presence of streaming writes.
Top 10 times (out of 90) in us:
Before After
2131586 697473
1709932 557487
1564598 535642
1480462 347573
1478579 323153
1408496 222181
1388960 181273
1329565 181070
1252486 172832
1223265 172278
Average:
619377 82180
So the improvement in both maximum and average latency is massive.
I've measured fsync throughput by:
fs_mark -n 100 -t 1 -s 16384 -d /mnt/fsync/ -S 1 -L 4
in presence of streaming reader. The numbers (fsyncs/s) are:
Before After
9.9 6.3
6.8 6.0
6.3 6.2
5.8 6.1
So fsync performance seems unharmed by this change.

ioat: fix size of 'completion' for Xen
This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec.
13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012).
The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the
following functions:
rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is
received.
adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about
to be transmitted.
The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is
implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific
methods.
When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default)
mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other
and compensate clock drift.
In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation
successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while
introducing a jitter of ~20us.
It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated
phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links,
etc.

regmap_config.reg_stride is introduced. All extant register addresses
are a multiple of this value. Users of serial-oriented regmap busses will
typically set this to 1. Users of the MMIO regmap bus will typically set
this based on the value size of their registers, in bytes, so 4 for a
32-bit register.
Throughout the regmap code, actual register addresses are used. Wherever
the register address is used to index some array of values, the address
is divided by the stride to determine the index, or vice-versa. Error-
checking is added to all entry-points for register address data to ensure
that register addresses actually satisfy the specified stride. The MMIO
bus ensures that the specified stride is large enough for the register
size.

This patch (as1536) fixes a bug in the USB serial core. Unloading and
reloading a serial driver while a serial device is plugged in causes
errors because of the code in usb_serial_disconnect() that tries to
make sure the port_remove method is called. With the new order of
driver registration introduced in the 3.4 kernel, this is definitely
not the right thing to do (if indeed it ever was).
The patch removes that whole section code, along with the mechanism
for keeping track of each port's registration state, which is no
longer needed. The driver core can handle all that stuff for us.
Note: This has been tested only with one or two USB serial drivers.
In theory, other drivers might still run into trouble. But if they
do, it will be the fault of the drivers, not of this patch -- that is,
the drivers will need to be fixed.

Workaround dropped notifications in the iir register. Register reads
coincident with new interrupt notifications sometimes result in this
device clearing the interrupt event without reporting it in the read
data.
The serial core already has a heuristic for determining when a device
has an untrustworthy iir register. In this case when we apriori know
that the iir is faulty use a flag (UPF_BUG_THRE) to bypass the test and
force usage of the background timer.

The semantic of UPF_IIR_ONCE is only guaranteed to workaround the race
condition in the kt serial's iir register if the only source of
interrupts is THRE (fifo-empty) events. An modem status event at the
wrong time can again cause an iir read to drop the 'empty' status
leading to a hang. So, revert this in preparation for using the
existing "I don't trust my iir register" workaround in the 8250 core
(UART_BUG_THRE).

Currently Qemu only emulates one PCI bus, it contains 32 slots,
one slot contains 8 functions, maximum of supported PCI devices:
1 * 32 * 8 = 256. One virtio-blk takes one iobus device,
one virtio-net(vhost=on) takes two iobus devices.
The maximum of coalesced mmio zone is 100, each zone
