tcp6: Add GRO support
This patch adds GRO support for TCP over IPv6. The code is exactly
the same as the IPv4 version except for the pseudo-header checksum
computation.
Note that I've removed the unused tcphdr argument from tcp_v6_check

vlan: Add GRO interfaces
This patch adds GRO interfaces for hardware-assisted VLAN reception.
With this in place we're now at parity with LRO as far as the
interface is concerned. That is, you can now take any LRO driver
and convert it over to GRO.
As the CB memory clashes with GRO's use of CB, I've removed it
entirely by storing dev in skb->dev. This is OK because VLAN
gets called first thing in netif_receive_skb and skb->dev is
not used in between us calling netif_rx and netif_receive_skb

These variables are only used with an interface that just dumps their
values into registers to be passed to the hypervisor. The arguments
to that interface are declared to be "unsigned long", so make these
variables match. The macros are only used with these variables, so make
them match as well.
This code is currently only built for 64bit powerpc, so the transformation
is really a noop. If the interface was ever ported to 32 bit, it would
almost certainly still use registers to pass the parameters and so

dm: add name and uuid to sysfs
Implement simple read-only sysfs entry for device-mapper block device.
This patch adds a simple sysfs directory named "dm" under block device
properties and implements
- name attribute (string containing mapped device name)
- uuid attribute (string containing UUID, or empty string if not set)
The kobject is embedded in mapped_device struct, so no additional
memory allocation is needed for initializing sysfs entry.
During the processing of sysfs attribute we need to lock mapped device
which is done by a new function dm_get_from_kobj, which returns the md
associated with kobject and increases the usage count.
Each 'show attribute' function is responsible for its own locking.

dm table: rework reference counting
Rework table reference counting.
The existing code uses a reference counter. When the last reference is
dropped and the counter reaches zero, the table destructor is called.
Table reference counters are acquired/released from upcalls from other
kernel code (dm_any_congested, dm_merge_bvec, dm_unplug_all).
If the reference counter reaches zero in one of the upcalls, the table
destructor is called from almost random kernel code.
This leads to various problems:
* dm_any_congested being called under a spinlock, which calls the
destructor, which calls some sleeping function.
* the destructor attempting to take a lock that is already taken by the
same process.
* stale reference from some other kernel code keeps the table
constructed, which keeps some devices open, even after successful
return from "dmsetup remove". This can confuse lvm and prevent closing
of underlying devices or reusing device minor numbers.
The patch changes reference counting so that the table destructor can be
called only at predetermined places.
The table has always exactly one reference from either mapped_device->map
or hash_cell->new_map. After this patch, this reference is not counted
in table->holders. A pair of dm_create_table/dm_destroy_table functions
is used for table creation/destruction.
Temporary references from the other code increase table->holders. A pair
of dm_table_get/dm_table_put functions is used to manipulate it.
When the table is about to be destroyed, we wait for table->holders to
reach 0. Then, we call the table destructor. We use active waiting with
msleep(1), because the situation happens rarely (to one user in 5 years)
and removing the device isn't performance-critical task: the user doesn't
care if it takes one tick more or not.
This way, the destructor is called only at specific points
(dm_table_destroy function) and the above problems associated with lazy
destruction can't happen.
Finally remove the temporary protection added to dm_any_congested().

that may help requests in the block layer queue to be

mm lockless pagecache barrier fix
An XFS workload showed up a bug in the lockless pagecache patch. Basically it
would go into an "infinite" loop, although it would sometimes be able to break
out of the loop! The reason is a missing compiler barrier in the "increment
reference count unless it was zero" case of the lockless pagecache protocol in
the gang lookup functions.
This would cause the compiler to use a cached value of struct page pointer to
retry the operation with, rather than reload it. So the page might have been
removed from pagecache and freed (refcount==0) but the lookup would not correctly
notice the page is no longer in pagecache, and keep attempting to increment the
refcount and failing, until the page gets reallocated for something else. This
isn't a data corruption because the condition will be detected if the page has
been reallocated. However it can result in a lockup.
Linus points out that ACCESS_ONCE is also required in that pointer load, even
if it's absence is not causing a bug on our particular build. The most general
way to solve this is just to put an rcu_dereference in radix_tree_deref_slot.
