The driver core is changing to pass some pointers as const, so move
to_xenbus_device() to use container_of_const() to handle this change.
to_xenbus_device() now properly keeps the const-ness of the pointer passed
into it, while as before it could be lost.

Most PV device frontends share very similar code for setting up shared

- allocate page(s)
- init the ring admin data
- give the backend access to the ring via grants

When booting the xenbus driver will wait for PV devices to have
connected to their backends before continuing. The timeout is different
between essential and non-essential devices.
Non-essential devices are identified by their nodenames directly in the
xenbus driver, which requires to update this list in case a new device
type being non-essential is added (this was missed for several types
in the past).
In order to avoid this problem, add a "not_essential" flag to struct
xenbus_driver which can be set to "true" by the respective frontend.
Set this flag for the frontends currently regarded to be not essential
(vkbs and vfb) and use it for testing in the xenbus driver.

After Commit 3499ba8198 ("xen: Fix event channel callback via

recent to a guest hang during boot.
If the hang wasn't there, we would have ended up to call
xenbus_probe() twice (the second time is in xenbus_probe_initcall()).
We don't need to initialize xenbus_probe() early for Arm guest.
Therefore, the call in xen_guest_init() is now removed.
After this change, there is no more external caller for xenbus_probe().
So the function is turned to a static one. Interestingly there were two

For a while, event channel notification via the PCI platform device
has been broken, because we attempt to communicate with xenstore before
we even have notifications working, with the xs_reset_watches() call
in xs_init().
We tend to get away with this on Xen versions below 4.0 because we avoid
calling xs_reset_watches() anyway, because xenstore might not cope with
reading a non-existent key. And newer Xen *does* have the vector
callback support, so we rarely fall back to INTX/GSI delivery.
To fix it, clean up a bit of the mess of xs_init() and xenbus_probe()
startup. Call xs_init() directly from xenbus_init() only in the !XS_HVM
case, deferring it to be called from xenbus_probe() in the XS_HVM case
instead.
Then fix up the invocation of xenbus_probe() to happen either from its
device_initcall if the callback is available early enough, or when the
callback is finally set up. This means that the hack of calling
xenbus_probe() from a workqueue after the first interrupt, or directly
from the PCI platform device setup, is no longer needed.

If handling logics of watch events are slower than the events enqueue
logic and the events can be created from the guests, the guests could
trigger memory pressure by intensively inducing the events, because it
will create a huge number of pending events that exhausting the memory.
Fortunately, some watch events could be ignored, depending on its
handler callback. For example, if the callback has interest in only one
single path, the watch wouldn't want multiple pending events. Or, some
watches could ignore events to same path.
To let such watches to volutarily help avoiding the memory pressure
situation, this commit introduces new watch callback, 'will_handle'. If
it is not NULL, it will be called for each new event just before
enqueuing it. Then, if the callback returns false, the event will be
discarded. No watch is using the callback for now, though.

Granting pages consumes backend system memory. In systems configured
with insufficient spare memory for those pages, it can cause a memory
pressure situation. However, finding the optimal amount of the spare
memory is challenging for large systems having dynamic resource
utilization patterns. Also, such a static configuration might lack
flexibility.
To mitigate such problems, this commit adds a memory reclaim callback to
'xenbus_driver'. If a memory pressure is detected, 'xenbus' requests
every backend driver to volunarily release its memory.
Note that it would be able to improve the callback facility for more
sophisticated handlings of general pressures. For example, it would be
possible to monitor the memory consumption of each device and issue the
release requests to only devices which causing the pressure. Also, the
callback could be extended to handle not only memory, but general
resources. Nevertheless, this version of the implementation defers such
sophisticated goals as a future work.

If a driver probe() fails then leave the xenstore state alone. There is no
reason to modify it as the failure may be due to transient resource
allocation issues and hence a subsequent probe() may succeed.
If the driver supports re-binding then only force state to closed during
remove() only in the case when the toolstack may need to clean up. This can
be detected by checking whether the state in xenstore has been set to
closing prior to device removal.
NOTE: Re-bind support is indicated by new boolean in struct xenbus_driver,

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

When the xen block frontend driver is built as a module the module load
is only synchronous up to the point where the frontend and the backend
become connected rather than when the disk is added.
This means that there can be a race on boot between loading the module and
loading the dm-* modules and doing the scan for LVM physical volumes (all
in the initrd). In the failure case the disk is not present until after the
scan for physical volumes is complete.
