block: Reserve only one queue tag for sync IO if only 3 tags are available

In case a device has three tags available we still reserve two of them
for sync IO. That leaves only a single tag for async IO such as
writeback from flusher thread which results in poor performance.

Allow async IO to consume two tags in case queue has three tag availabe
to get a decent async write performance.

This patch improves streaming write performance on a machine with such disk
from ~21 MB/s to ~52 MB/s. Also postmark throughput in presence of
streaming writer improves from 8 to 12 transactions per second so sync
IO doesn't seem to be harmed in presence of heavy async writer.

sched: reinitialize rq->next_balance when a CPU is hot-added

Reinitialize rq->next_balance when a CPU is hot-added.  Otherwise,
scheduler domain rebalancing may be skipped if rq->next_balance was
set to a future time when the CPU was last active, and the
newly-re-added CPU is in idle_balance().  As a result, the
newly-re-added CPU will remain idle with no tasks scheduled until the
softlockup watchdog runs - potentially 4 seconds later.  This can
waste energy and reduce performance.

This behavior can be observed in some SoC kernels, which use CPU
hotplug to dynamically remove and add CPUs in response to load.  In
one case that triggered this behavior,

0. the system started with all cores enabled, running multi-threaded
   CPU-bound code;

1. the system entered some single-threaded code;

2. a CPU went idle and was hot-removed;

3. the system started executing a multi-threaded CPU-bound task;

4. the CPU from event 2 was re-added, to respond to the load.

The time interval between events 2 and 4 was approximately 300
milliseconds.

Of course, ideally CPU hotplug would not be used in this manner,
but this patch does appear to fix a real bug.

Nvidia folks: this patch is submitted as at least a partial fix for
bug 1243368 ("[sched] Load-balancing not happening correctly after
cores brought online")

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 >

jbd2: optimize jbd2_journal_force_commit

Current implementation of jbd2_journal_force_commit() is suboptimal because
result in empty and useless commits. But callers just want to force and wait
any unfinished commits. We already have jbd2_journal_force_commit_nested()
which does exactly what we want, except we are guaranteed that we do not hold
journal transaction open.

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.

cpufreq_frequency_table_verify() is rewritten here to make it more logical
and efficient.
 - merge multiple lines for variable declarations together.
 - quit early if any frequency between min/max is found.
 - don't call cpufreq_verify_within_limits() in case any valid freq is
   found as it is of no use.
 - rename the count variable as found and change its type to boolean.

Bluetooth: Prevent Bluetooth L2CAP Remote Heap Memory Corruption

A remote user can provide a small value for the command size field in
the command header of an l2cap configuration request, resulting in an
integer underflow when subtracting the size of the configuration request
header.  This results in copying a very large amount of data via
memcpy() and destroying the kernel heap.  Check for underflow.

workqueue: fix find_worker_executing_work() brekage from hashtable conversion

commit ("workqueue: use new hashtable implementation") incorrectly
made busy workers hashed by the pointer value of worker instead of
work.  This broke find_worker_executing_work() which in turn broke a
lot of fundamental operations of workqueue - non-reentrancy and
flushing among others.  The flush malfunction triggered warning in
disk event code in Fengguang's automated test.

sched: Fix endless sync_sched/rcu() loop inside _cpu_down()

Commit:

	sched: Remove get_online_cpus() usage

tries to do sync_sched/rcu() inside _cpu_down() but triggers:

	INFO: task swapper/0:1 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
	...
	[<ffffffff811263dc>] synchronize_rcu+0x2c/0x30
	[<ffffffff81d1bd82>] _cpu_down+0x2b2/0x340
	...

It was caused by that in the rcu boost case we rely on smpboot thread to
finish the rcu callback, which has already been parked before sync in here
and leads to the endless sync_sched/rcu().

This patch exchanges the sequence of smpboot_park_threads() and
sync_sched/rcu() to fix the bug.
