The 11" Macbook Air appears to claim that its stride is 1366, when it's
actually 2048. Override it.

Some machines apparently give us bogus linelength/stride/pitch data, so
we need to support letting the DMI table override the supplied data.

In practice this means enabling I2C (for DDC2) on all prosavage cards,
like the xorg ddx does. The savage4 and savage2000 families have only
one member each, so there is no change for those.

Fix Virge/GX2 support in s3fb:
- fix IDs: 86C357 is GX2, 86C359 is GX2+, 86C356 probably does not exist
- add memory size detection
- drive it the same way as Trio3D/2X
The original IDs most likely came from S3 website which claims that:
- 356 is Virge/GX2 with ID=8A10, driver included in Windows 2K, XP
- 357 is Virge/GX2+ with ID=8A11, driver included in Windows ME
- 359 is Virge/GX2+ with ID=8A12, driver included in Windows ME
but:
- google search for 86C356 only reveals references to Trio3D (probably
because of a typo - Trio3D is 86C365)
- my card is clearly marked as 86C357, Virge/GX2 and has ID=8A10
- there is no driver for IDs 8A11 and 8A12 in Windows ME
- there is a driver for ID 8A10 in Windows ME that says it's GX2 (357)
Tested with #9 Reality 334 (86C357 Virge/GX2, ID=0x8A10).

Whenever the LCDC is to be started or stopped, a board callback is
checked for existence and invoked. Prior to the invokation, the
callback's module lock is also acquired, to be released once the
callback returns. However, the order of testing makes it possible for
the lock to be acquired and not released in case the callback does not
exist. This patch reorders the tests to prevent this particular case.

Removing think time checking. A high thinktime queue might means the queue
dispatches several requests and then do away. Limitting such queue seems
meaningless. And also this can simplify code. This is suggested by Vivek.

For v2, I added back lines to cfq_preempt_queue() that were removed
during updates for accounting unaccounted_time. Thanks for pointing out
that I'd missed these, Vivek.
Previous commit "cfq-iosched: Don't set active queue in preempt" wrongly
cleared stats for preempting queues when it shouldn't have, because when
we choose a queue to preempt, it still isn't necessarily scheduled next.
Thanks to Vivek Goyal for figuring this out and understanding how the
preemption code works.

Lina reported that if throttle limits are initially very high and then
dropped, then no new bio might be dispatched for a long time. And the
reason being that after dropping the limits we don't reset the existing
slice and do the rate calculation with new low rate and account the bios
dispatched at high rate. To fix it, reset the slice upon rate change.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/10/298
Another problem with very high limit is that we never queued the
bio on throtl service tree. That means we kept on extending the
group slice but never trimmed it. Fix that also by regulary
trimming the slice even if bio is not being queued up.

Commit "Add unaccounted time to timeslice_used" changed the behavior of
cfq_preempt_queue to set cfqq active. Vivek pointed out that other
preemption rules might get involved, so we shouldn't manually set which
queue is active.

time.

One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially
lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to
everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do
any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized.
Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE.
It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can
merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail
merging).
This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that
can be merged.
Thanks to Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> for testing and fixing
an accounting bug.

Version 3 is updated to apply to for-2.6.39/core.
For version 2, I took Vivek's advice and made sure we update the group
weight from cfq_group_service_tree_add().
If a weight was updated while a group is on the service tree, the
calculation for the total weight of the service tree can be adjusted
improperly, which either leads to bad service tree weights, or
potentially crashes (if total_weight becomes 0).
This patch defers updates to the weight until a group is off the service
tree.

We don't have proper reference counting for this yet, so we run into
cases where the device is pulled and we OOPS on flushing the fs data.
This happens even though the dirty inodes have already been

MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an
integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is
capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory.
Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at
metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not.
Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from
bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the
fs_bio_set.

There are two kind of times that tasks are not charged for: the first

In blk_add_trace_rq, we only chose the minor 2 bits from
request's cmd_flags and did some check for discard.
so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.
For example, with a sync write after blkparse we get:
8,16 1 1 0.001776503 7509 A WS 1349632 + 1024 <- (8,17) 1347584
8,16 1 2 0.001776813 7509 Q WS 1349632 + 1024 [dd]
8,16 1 3 0.001780395 7509 G WS 1349632 + 1024 [dd]
8,16 1 5 0.001783186 7509 I W 1349632 + 1024 [dd]
8,16 1 11 0.001816987 7509 D W 1349632 + 1024 [dd]
8,16 0 2 0.006218192 0 C W 1349632 + 1024 [0]
Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to __blk_add_trace.
With this patch, after a sync write we get:
8,16 1 1 0.001776900 5425 A WS 1189888 + 1024 <- (8,17) 1187840

Use plug in throttle dispatch also as we are dispatching a bunch of
bios in throttle context and some of them might merge.

With the plugging now being explicitly controlled by the
submitter, callers need not pass down unplugging hints
to the block layer. If they want to unplug, it's because they
manually plugged on their own - in which case, they should just
unplug at will.

This should be useless now that we have on-stack plugging. So lets just
kill it.

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().

This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside
of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO
before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.
The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.
The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()
hack in the vm.
