b1fbfb2ae8 ACPI: make sure every acpi_device has an ID
This makes sure every acpi_device has at least one ID.  If we build an
acpi_device for a namespace node with no _HID or _CID, we sometimes
synthesize an ID like "LNXCPU" or "LNXVIDEO".  If we don't even have
that, give it a default "device" ID.

Note that this means things like:
    /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/HWP0001:00/HWP0002:04/device:00
(a PCI slot SxFy device) will have "hid" and "modprobe" entries, where
they didn't before.  These aren't very useful (a HID of "device" doesn't
tell you what *kind* of device it is, so it doesn't help find a driver),
but I don't think they're harmful.

e3b87f8a9d ACPI: handle re-enumeration, when acpi_devices might already exist
acpi_bus_scan() traverses the namespace to enumerate devices and uses
acpi_add_single_object() to create acpi_devices.  When the platform
notifies us of a hot-plug event, we need to traverse part of the namespace
again to figure out what appeared or disappeared.  (We don't yet call
acpi_bus_scan() during hot-plug, but I plan to do that in the future.)

This patch makes acpi_add_single_object() notice when we already have
an acpi_device, so we don't need to make a new one.

51a85faf2d ACPI: use acpi_walk_namespace() to enumerate devices
acpi_bus_scan() currently walks the namespace manually.  This patch changes
it to use acpi_walk_namespace() instead.

Besides removing some complicated code, this means we take advantage of the
namespace locking done by acpi_walk_namespace().  The locking isn't so
important at boot-time, but I hope to eventually use this same path to
handle hot-addition of devices, when it will be important.

Note that acpi_walk_namespace() does not actually visit the starting node
first, so we need to do that by hand first.

859ac9a4be ACPI: identify device tree root by null parent pointer, not ACPI_BUS_TYPE
We can identify the root of the ACPI device tree by the fact that it
has no parent.  This is simpler than passing around ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM
and will help remove special treatment of the device tree root.

Currently, we add the root by hand with ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM.  If we
traverse the tree treating the root as just another device and use
acpi_get_type(), the root shows up as ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE.

8e029bf0a6 ACPI: convert acpi_bus_scan() to operate on an acpi_handle
This patch changes acpi_bus_scan() to take an acpi_handle rather than an
acpi_device pointer.  I plan to use acpi_bus_scan() in the hotplug path,
and I'd rather not assume that notifications only go to nodes that already
have acpi_devices.

This will also help remove the special case for adding the root node.  We
currently add the root by hand before acpi_bus_scan(), but using a handle
here means we can start the acpi_bus_scan() directly with the root even
though it doesn't have an acpi_device yet.

Note that acpi_bus_scan() currently adds and/or starts the *children* of
its device argument.  It doesn't do anything with the device itself.

b24715027a ACPICA: fixup after acpi_get_object_info() change
Commit 15b8dd53f5 changed info->hardware_id from a static array to
a pointer.  If hardware_id is non-NULL, it points to a NULL-terminated
string, so we don't need to terminate it explicitly.  However, it may
be NULL; in that case, we *can't* add a NULL terminator.

This causes a NULL pointer dereference oops for devices without _HID.

3321b791b2 cifs: fix locking and list handling code in cifs_open and its helper
The patch to remove cifs_init_private introduced a locking imbalance. It
didn't remove the leftover list addition code and the unlocking in that
function. cifs_new_fileinfo does the list addition now, so there should
be no need to do it outside of that function.

pCifsInode will never be NULL, so we don't need to check for that. This
patch also gets rid of the ugly locking and unlocking across function
calls.

56a131dcf7 writeback: writeback_inodes_sb() should use bdi_start_writeback()
Pointless to iterate other devices looking for a super, when
we have a bdi mapping.

b3af9468ae writeback: don't delay inodes redirtied by a fast dirtier
Debug traces show that in per-bdi writeback, the inode under writeback
almost always get redirtied by a busy dirtier.  We used to call
redirty_tail() in this case, which could delay inode for up to 30s.

This is unacceptable because it now happens so frequently for plain cp/dd,
that the accumulated delays could make writeback of big files very slow.

So let's distinguish between data redirty and metadata only redirty.
The first one is caused by a busy dirtier, while the latter one could
happen in XFS, NFS, etc. when they are doing delalloc or updating isize.

The inode being busy dirtied will now be requeued for next io, while
the inode being redirtied by fs will continue to be delayed to avoid
repeated IO.

9ecc2738ac writeback: make the super_block pinning more efficient
Currently we pin the inode->i_sb for every single inode. This
increases cache traffic on sb->s_umount sem. Lets instead
cache the inode sb pin state and keep the super_block pinned
for as long as keep writing out inodes from the same
super_block.
