frames to request retransmission of specific frames.  l2cap_send_srej
requests all frames up to a given txseq that are not already queued
for reassembly.  l2cap_send_srej_tail only requests the most recent

4b51dae967 Bluetooth: Add streaming mode receive and incoming packet classifier
Streaming mode reception is fairly simple, with in-sequence frames
being reassembled as they arrive.  Out-of-sequence frames are dropped,
and also clear any partially-assembled SDUs that may exist.

The packet classifier determines if the txseq value of the incoming
packet is expected, invalid (resulting in a disconnection), invalid
(ignorable), duplicate, or having to do with an SREJ request that was
previously sent.  The rules for each classification are defined in the
ERTM specification, and consolidating these rules in one place helps
clarify the receive state machine.

2827011f66 Bluetooth: Fix early return from l2cap_chan_del
This fixes a regression from commit
2ead70b839 that is present in all
kernels starting at v3.0.

When L2CAP information was moved to struct l2cap_chan, a check was
added to l2cap_chan_del to avoid certain cleanup operations when ERTM
or streaming mode had not yet been initialized.  The logic in the
check did not take in to account that chan->conf_state is set to 0 in
l2cap_chan_ready, so l2cap_chan_del failed to cancel timers and leaked
memory any time the ERTM queues or lists were not empty.

This change makes sure that l2cap_chan_del only returns early if
ERTM initialization was not performed.

cc8394d86f dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata
This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_.  This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.

Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time.  The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.

Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:

    thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>

Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools

Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:

     i) Incremental backups.

     By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
     changed over time.  Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
     the data doesn't change while we back it up.

     A short proof of concept script can be found here:

     ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.

     iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.

     iv) Asyncronous replication.

a24c25696b dm thin: use slab mempools
Use dedicated caches prefixed with a "dm_" name rather than relying on
kmalloc mempools backed by generic slab caches so the memory usage of
thin provisioning (and any leaks) can be accounted for independently.

35991652ba dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init
After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
the device.  Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.

With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too.  The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.

Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.

Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure.  Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands).  For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too.  It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.
