We don't have to start a transaction in writepage() when all the blocks
are a properly allocated. Even in ordered mode either the data has been
written via write() and they are thus already added to transaction's list
or the data was written via mmap and then it's random in which transaction
they get written anyway.

This should help VM to pageout dirty memory without blocking on transaction
commits.

Enlarge default dirty ratios from 5/10 to 10/20.  This fixes [Bug
#12809] iozone regression with 2.6.29-rc6.

The iozone benchmarks are performed on a 1200M file, with 8GB ram.

  iozone -i 0 -i 1 -i 2 -i 3 -i 4 -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m -b tmp.xls
  iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m -b tmp.xls

The performance regression is triggered by commit 1cf6e7d8(mm: task
dirty accounting fix), which makes more correct/thorough dirty
accounting.

The default 5/10 dirty ratios were picked (a) with the old dirty logic
and (b) largely at random and (c) designed to be aggressive.  In
particular, that (a) means that having fixed some of the dirty
accounting, maybe the real bug is now that it was always too aggressive,
just hidden by an accounting issue.

The enlarged 10/20 dirty ratios are just about enough to fix the regression.

[ We will have to look at how this affects the old fsync() latency issue,
  but that probably will need independent work.  - Linus ]

With CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled

$ losetup /dev/loop0 file
$ losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop0

$ losetup -d /dev/loop1
$ losetup -d /dev/loop0

triggers a [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]

I think this warning is a false positive.

Open/close on a loop device acquires bd_mutex of the device before
acquiring lo_ctl_mutex of the same device. For ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) after
acquiring lo_ctl_mutex, fput on the backing_file might acquire the bd_mutex of
a device, if backing file is a device and this is the last reference to the
file being dropped . But it is guaranteed that it is impossible to have a
circular list of backing devices.(say loop2->loop1->loop0->loop2 is not
possible), which guarantees that this can never deadlock.

So this warning should be suppressed. It is very difficult to annotate lockdep
not to warn here in the correct way. A simple way to silence lockdep could be
to mark the lo_ctl_mutex in ioctl to be a sub class, but this might mask some
other real bugs.

+	mutex_lock_nested(&lo->lo_ctl_mutex, 1);
 	switch (cmd) {
 	case LOOP_SET_FD:
 		err = loop_set_fd(lo, mode, bdev, arg);

Or actually marking the bd_mutex after lo_ctl_mutex as a sub class could be
a better solution.

Luckily it is easy to avoid calling fput on backing file with lo_ctl_mutex
held, so no lockdep annotation is required.

If you do not like the special handling of the lo_ctl_mutex just for the
LOOP_CLR_FD ioctl in lo_ioctl(), the mutex handling could be moved inside
each of the individual ioctl handlers and I could send you another patch.

tlb_flush_mmu() needs to flush pending TLB entries before
processing the mmu_gather ->pages list.

When changing DCB parameters, ixgbe needs to have the MAC reset.  The way
the flow control code is setup today, PFC will be disabled on a reset.
This patch adds a new flow control type for PFC, and then has the netlink
layer take care of toggling which type of flow control to enable.

As noticed by Alan Cox, it is possible for e1000e to exit its interrupt
handler or NAPI with interrupts enabled even when the driver is unloading or
being configured administratively down.

e1000e (and e1000, igb, ixgbe, ixgb) all do a series of operations each
time a multicast address is added.  The flow goes something like

1) stack adds one multicast address
2) stack passes whole current list of unicast and multicast addresses to
   driver
3) driver clears entire list in hardware
4) driver programs each multicast address using iomem in a loop

This was causing multicast packets to be lost during the reprogramming
process.

Thanks to Dave Boutcher for his report and test program.

This driver fix prepares an array all at once in memory and programs it in
one shot to the hardware, not requiring an "erase" cycle.  It would still
be possible for packets to be dropped while the receiver is off during
reprogramming.
