This reverts commit a069c266ae.
It turns ou that not only was it missing a case (XFS) that needed it,
but perhaps more importantly, people sometimes want to enable new
modules that they hadn't had enabled before, and if such a module uses
list_sort(), it can't easily be inserted any more.
So rather than add a "select LIST_SORT" to the XFS case, just leave it
compiled in. It's not all _that_ big, after all, and the inconvenience
isn't worth it.

XFS and UBIFS can pass long lists to list_sort(); this alternative
implementation scales better, reaching ~3x performance gain when list
length exceeds the L2 cache size.
Stand-alone program timings were run on a Core 2 duo L1=32KB L2=4MB,
gcc-4.4, with flags extracted from an Ubuntu kernel build. Object size is
581 bytes compared to 455 for Mark J. Roberts' code.
Worst case for either implementation is a list length just over a power of
two, and to roughly the same degree, so here are timing results for a
range of 2^N+1 lengths. List elements were 16 bytes each including malloc
overhead; initial order was random.

Mark's code does not actually implement the usual or generic mergesort,
but rather a variant from Simon Tatham described here:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/algorithms/listsort.html
Simon's algorithm performs O(log N) passes over the entire input list,
doing merges of sublists that double in size on each pass. The generic
algorithm instead merges pairs of equal length lists as early as possible,
in recursive order. For either algorithm, the elements that extend the
list beyond power-of-two length are a special case, handled as nearly as
possible as a "rounding-up" to a full POT.
Some intuition for the locality of reference implications of merge order
may be gotten by watching this animation:
http://www.sorting-algorithms.com/merge-sort
Simon's algorithm requires only O(1) extra space rather than the generic
algorithm's O(log N), but in my non-recursive implementation the actual
O(log N) data is merely a vector of ~20 pointers, which I've put on the
stack.
Long-running list_sort() calls: If the list passed in may be long, or the
client's cmp() callback function is slow, the client's cmp() may
periodically invoke cond_resched() to voluntarily yield the CPU. All
inner loops of list_sort() call back to cmp().
Stability of the sort: distinct elements that compare equal emerge from
the sort in the same order as with Mark's code, for simple test cases. A
boot-time test is provided to verify this and other correctness
requirements.
A kernel that uses drm.ko appears to run normally with this change; I have
no suitable hardware to similarly test the use by UBIFS.

Crashes can now be induced either through module parameters (as before)

The patch also provides a new "direct" interface, where KPROBES are not

Inspection is proving insufficient to catch all RCU misuses,
which is understandable given that rcu_dereference() might be
protected by any of four different flavors of RCU (RCU, RCU-bh,
RCU-sched, and SRCU), and might also/instead be protected by any
of a number of locking primitives. It is therefore time to
enlist the aid of lockdep.
This set of patches is inspired by earlier work by Peter
Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner, and takes the following approach:
o Set up separate lockdep classes for RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched.
o Set up separate lockdep classes for each instance of SRCU.
o Create primitives that check for being in an RCU read-side
critical section. These return exact answers if lockdep is
fully enabled, but if unsure, report being in an RCU read-side
critical section. (We want to avoid false positives!)
The primitives are:
For RCU: rcu_read_lock_held(void)
For RCU-bh: rcu_read_lock_bh_held(void)
For RCU-sched: rcu_read_lock_sched_held(void)
For SRCU: srcu_read_lock_held(struct srcu_struct *sp)
o Add rcu_dereference_check(), which takes a second argument
in which one places a boolean expression based on the above
primitives and/or lockdep_is_held().
o A new kernel configuration parameter, CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, enables
rcu_dereference_check(). This depends on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING,
and should be quite helpful during the transition period while
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU-unaware patches are in flight.
The existing rcu_dereference() primitive does no checking, but
upcoming patches will change that.

This is retry of reverted 859ddf0974
("idr: fix a critical misallocation bug") which contained two bugs.
* pa[idp->layers] should be cleared even if it's not used by
sub_alloc() because it's used by mark idr_mark_full().
* The original condition check also assigned pa[l] to p which the new
code didn't do thus leaving p pointing at the wrong layer.
Both problems have been fixed and the idr code has received good amount
testing using userland testing setup where simple bitmap allocator is
run parallel to verify the result of idr allocation.
The bug this patch fixes is caused by sub_alloc() optimization path
bypassing out-of-room condition check and restarting allocation loop
with starting value higher than maximum allowed value. For detailed

Eric Paris located a bug in idr. With IDR_BITS of 6, it grows to three

incorrectly and searches the idr array ignoring the high bits. The

This happens because when sub_alloc() back tracks it doesn't always do it
step-by-step while the over-the-limit detection assumes step-by-step
backtracking. The logic in sub_alloc() looks like the following.
restart:
clear pa[top level + 1] for end cond detection
l = top level
while (true) {
search for empty slot at this level
if (not found) {
push id to the next possible value
l++
A: if (pa[l] is clear)
failed, return asking caller to grow the tree
if (going up 1 level gives more slots to search)
continue the while loop above with the incremented l
else
C: goto restart
}
adjust id accordingly to the found slot
if (l == 0)
return found id;
create lower level if not there yet
record pa[l] and l--
}
Test A is the fail exit condition but this assumes that failure is
propagated upwared one level at a time but the B optimization path breaks
the assumption and restarts the whole thing with a start value which is
above the possible limit with the current layers. sub_alloc() assumes the
start id value is inside the limit when called and test A is the only exit
condition check, so it ends up searching for empty slot while ignoring
high set bit.
So, for 4095->4096 test, level0 search fails but pa[1] contains a valid
pointer. However, going up 1 level wouldn't give any more empty slot so
it takes C and when the whole thing restarts nobody notices the high bit
set beyond the top level.
This patch fixes the bug by changing the fail exit condition check to full
id limit check.
