Implement APIs for in-place consumption of vmbus packets. Currently, each packet is copied and processed one at a time and as part of processing each packet we potentially may signal the host (if it is waiting for room to produce a packet). These APIs help batched in-place processing of vmbus packets. We also optimize host signaling by having a separate API to signal the end of in-place consumption. With netvsc using these APIs, on an iperf run on average I see about 20X reduction in checks to signal the host. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

On the consumer side, we have interrupt driven flow management of the producer. It is sufficient to base the signaling decision on the amount of space that is available to write after the read is complete. The current code samples the previous available space and uses this in making the signaling decision. This state can be stale and is unnecessary. Since the state can be stale, we end up not signaling the host (when we should) and this can result in a hang. Fix this problem by removing the unnecessary check. I would like to thank Arseney Romanenko <arseneyr@microsoft.com> for pointing out this issue. Also, issue a full memory barrier before making the signaling descision to correctly deal with potential reordering of the write (read index) followed by the read of pending_sz. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

The drivers which depends on parport may sometimes try to iniitialize and register with parport bus even before parport has actually registered with the device layer. The simplest solution is to mark the init function as subsys_initcall() and load the parport before the other drivers loads.

The MIC VOP driver does two successive reads from user space to read a variable length data structure. Kernel memory corruption can result if the data structure changes between the two reads. This patch disallows the chance of this happening.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe: "A few fixes for the current series. This contains: - Two fixes for NVMe: One fixes a reset race that can be triggered by repeated insert/removal of the module. The other fixes an issue on some platforms, where we get probe timeouts since legacy interrupts isn't working. This used not to be a problem since we had the worker thread poll for completions, but since that was killed off, it means those poor souls can't successfully probe their NVMe device. Use a proper IRQ check and probe (msi-x -> msi ->legacy), like most other drivers to work around this. Both from Keith. - A loop corruption issue with offset in iters, from Ming Lei. - A fix for not having the partition stat per cpu ref count initialized before sending out the KOBJ_ADD, which could cause user space to access the counter prior to initialization. Also from Ming Lei. - A fix for using the wrong congestion state, from Kaixu Xia" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: block: loop: fix filesystem corruption in case of aio/dio NVMe: Always use MSI/MSI-x interrupts NVMe: Fix reset/remove race writeback: fix the wrong congested state variable definition block: partition: initialize percpuref before sending out KOBJ_ADD

Starting from commit e36f6204(block: split bios to max possible length), block core starts to split bio in the middle of bvec. Unfortunately loop dio/aio doesn't consider this situation, and always treat 'iter.iov_offset' as zero. Then filesystem corruption is observed. This patch figures out the offset of the base bvevc via 'bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done' and fixes the issue by passing the offset to iov iterator.
