slim_ngd: Add NULL pointer check apart from error check

Check against NULL pointer after allocating
the memory for msm_slim_ctrl structure pointer
dynamically to avoid unexpected crashes.

Earlier this pointer is checked only for error
codes. In this patch NULL pointer check is also
added.

af_unix: speedup /proc/net/unix

/proc/net/unix has quadratic behavior, and can hold unix_table_lock for a while if high number of unix
sockets are alive. (90 ms for 200k sockets...)

We already have a hash table, so its quite easy to use it.

Problem is unbound sockets are still hashed in a single hash slot
(unix_socket_table[UNIX_HASH_TABLE])

This patch also spreads unbound sockets to 256 hash slots, to speedup
both /proc/net/unix and unix_diag.

Time to read /proc/net/unix with 200k unix sockets :
(time dd if=/proc/net/unix of=/dev/null bs=4k)

before : 520 secs
after : 2 secs

ext4: speed up truncate/unlink by not using bforget() unless needed

Do not iterate over data blocks scanning for bh's to forget as they're
never exist. This improves time taken by unlink / truncate syscall.
Tested by continuously truncating file that is being written by dd.
Another test is rm -rf of linux tree while tar unpacks it. With
ordered data mode condition unlikely(!tbh) was always met in
ext4_free_blocks. With journal data mode tbh was found only few times,
so optimisation is also possible.

Unlinking fallocated 60G file after doing sync && echo 3 >

Current implementation of jbd2_journal_force_commit() is suboptimal because

net: loopback: set default mtu to 64K

loopback current mtu of 16436 bytes allows no more than 3 MSS TCP
segments per frame, or 48 Kbytes. Changing mtu to 64K allows TCP
stack to build large frames and significantly reduces stack overhead.

Performance boost on bulk TCP transferts can be up to 30 %, partly
because we now have one ACK message for two 64KB segments, and a lower
probability of hitting /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_reordering default limit.

workqueue: cond_resched() after processing each work item commit b22ce27 upstream.

If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU.
This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is
waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine.  Such
self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging
the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for
that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from
happening on all other CPUs.  The two would deadlock.

Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around
scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one
port may exclude command processing from other ports.  With the right
timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying
to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has
an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to
stop_machine.

Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

workqueue: backport updates from kernel 3.7

workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebinding
Currently rebind_workers() uses rebinds idle workers synchronously
before proceeding to requesting busy workers to rebind.  This is
necessary because all workers on @worker_pool->idle_list must be bound
before concurrency management local wake-ups from the busy workers
take place.

Unfortunately, the synchronous idle rebinding is quite complicated.
This patch reimplements idle rebinding to simplify the code path.

Rather than trying to make all idle workers bound before rebinding
busy workers, we simply remove all to-be-bound idle workers from the
idle list and let them add themselves back after completing rebinding
(successful or not).

As only workers which finished rebinding can on on the idle worker
list, the idle worker list is guaranteed to have only bound workers
unless CPU went down again and local wake-ups are safe.

After the change, @worker_pool->nr_idle may deviate than the actual
number of idle workers on @worker_pool->idle_list.  More specifically,
nr_idle may be non-zero while ->idle_list is empty.  All users of
->nr_idle and ->idle_list are audited.  The only affected one is
too_many_workers() which is updated to check %false if ->idle_list is
empty regardless of ->nr_idle.

After this patch, rebind_workers() no longer performs the nasty
idle-rebind retries which require temporary release of gcwq->lock, and
both unbinding and rebinding are atomic w.r.t. global_cwq->lock.

worker->idle_rebind and global_cwq->rebind_hold are now unnecessary
and removed along with the definition of struct idle_rebind.

Changed from V1:
	1) remove unlikely from too_many_workers(), ->idle_list can be empty
	   anytime, even before this patch, no reason to use unlikely.
	2) fix a small rebasing mistake.
	   (which is from rebasing the orignal fixing patch to for-next)
	3) add a lot of comments.
	4) clear WORKER_REBIND unconditionaly in idle_worker_rebind()

workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for busy rebinding
Because the old unbind/rebinding implementation wasn't atomic w.r.t.
GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED manipulation which is protected by
global_cwq->lock, we had to use two flags, WORKER_UNBOUND and
WORKER_REBIND, to avoid incorrectly losing all NOT_RUNNING bits with
back-to-back CPU hotplug operations; otherwise, completion of
rebinding while another unbinding is in progress could clear UNBIND
prematurely.

Now that both unbind/rebinding are atomic w.r.t. GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED,
there's no need to use two flags.  Just one is enough.  Don't use
WORKER_REBIND for busy rebinding.

_________________________

workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for idle rebinding
Now both worker destruction and idle rebinding remove the worker from
idle list while it's still idle, so list_empty(&worker->entry) can be
used to test whether either is pending and WORKER_DIE to distinguish
between the two instead making WORKER_REBIND unnecessary.

Use list_empty(&worker->entry) to determine whether destruction or
rebinding is pending.  This simplifies worker state transitions.

WORKER_REBIND is not needed anymore.  Remove it.

workqueue: use hotcpu_notifier() for workqueue_cpu_down_callback()
workqueue_cpu_down_callback() is used only if HOTPLUG_CPU=y, so
hotcpu_notifier() fits better than cpu_notifier().

When HOTPLUG_CPU=y, hotcpu_notifier() and cpu_notifier() are the same.

When HOTPLUG_CPU=n, if we use cpu_notifier(),
workqueue_cpu_down_callback() will be called during boot to do
nothing, and the memory of workqueue_cpu_down_callback() and
gcwq_unbind_fn() will be discarded after boot.

If we use hotcpu_notifier(), we can avoid the no-op call of
workqueue_cpu_down_callback() and the memory of
workqueue_cpu_down_callback() and gcwq_unbind_fn() will be discard at
build time:

ARM: 7573/1: idmap: use flush_cache_louis() and flush TLBs only when necessary

Flushing the cache is needed for the hardware to see the idmap table
and therefore can be done at init time.  On ARMv7 it is not necessary to
flush L2 so flush_cache_louis() is used here instead.

There is no point flushing the cache in setup_mm_for_reboot() as the
caller should, and already is, taking care of this.  If switching the
memory map requires a cache flush, then cpu_switch_mm() already includes
that operation.

What is not done by cpu_switch_mm() on ASID capable CPUs is TLB flushing
as the whole point of the ASID is to tag the TLBs and avoid flushing them
on a context switch.  Since we don't have a clean ASID for the identity
mapping, we need to flush the TLB explicitly in that case.  Otherwise
this is already performed by cpu_switch_mm().
