1ad7c31107 [PATCH] Fix soft lockup with iSeries viocd driver
Fix soft lockup with iSeries viocd driver, caused by eventually calling
end_that_request_first() with nr_bytes 0.

Some versions of hald do an SG_IO ioctl on the viocd device which becomes a
request with hard_nr_sectors and hard_cur_sectors set to zero.  Passing zero
as the number of sectors to end_request() (which calls
end_that_request_first()) causes an infinite loop when the bio is being freed.

This patch makes sure that the zero is never passed.  It only requires some
number larger the the request size the terminate the loop.

The lockup is triggered by hald, interrogating the device.

58e0543e8f [PATCH] msi: support masking msi irqs without a mask bit
For devices that do not support msi-x we only support 1 interrupt.  Therefore
we can disable that one interrupt by disabling the msi capability itself.  If
we leave the intx interrupts disabled while we have the msi capability
disabled no interrupts should be delivered from that device.

Devices with just the minimal msi support (and thus hitting this code path)
include things like the intel e1000 nic, so it looks like is going to be a
fairly common case and thus important to get right.

b1cbf4e4dd [PATCH] msi: fix up the msi enable/disable logic
enable/disable_msi_mode have several side effects which keeps them from being
generally useful.  So this patch replaces them with with two much more
targeted functions: msi_set_enable and msix_set_enable.

This patch makes pci_dev->msi_enabled and pci_dev->msix_enabled the definitive
way to test if linux has enabled the msi capability, and has the appropriate
msi data structures set up.

This patch ensures that while writing the msi messages in save/restore and
during device initialization we have the msi capability disabled so we don't
get into races.  The pci spec requires that we do not have the msi capability
enabled and the msi messages unmasked while we write the messages.  Completely
disabling the capability is overkill but it is easy :)

Care has been taken so we never have both a msi capability and intx enabled
simultaneously.  We haven't run into a problem yet but better safe then sorry.

f5f2b13129 [PATCH] msi: sanely support hardware level msi disabling
In some cases when we are not using msi we need a way to ensure that the
hardware does not have an msi capability enabled.  Currently the code has been
calling disable_msi_mode to try and achieve that.  However disable_msi_mode
has several other side effects and is only available when msi support is
compiled in so it isn't really appropriate.

Instead this patch implements pci_msi_off which disables all msi and msix
capabilities unconditionally with no additional side effects.

pci_disable_device was redundantly clearing the bus master enable flag and
clearing the msi enable bit.  A device that is not allowed to perform bus
mastering operations cannot generate intx or msi interrupt messages as those
are essentially a special case of dma, and require bus mastering.  So the call
in pci_disable_device to disable msi capabilities was redundant.

quirk_pcie_pxh also called disable_msi_mode and is updated to use pci_msi_off.

bccf2150fe KVM: Per-vcpu inodes
Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM.  This has the following
benefits:

 - the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on
   every ioctl()
 - the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the
   KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from
   userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived
   from the fd used to make the call

Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we
don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware
inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects.  But
both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today.

2c6f5df979 KVM: Rename some kvm_dev_ioctl_*() functions to kvm_vm_ioctl_*()
This reflects the changed scope, from device-wide to single vm (previously
every device open created a virtual machine).

f17abe9a44 KVM: Create an inode per virtual machine
This avoids having filp->f_op and the corresponding inode->i_fop different,
which is a little unorthodox.

The ioctl list is split into two: global kvm ioctls and per-vm ioctls.  A new
ioctl, KVM_CREATE_VM, is used to create VMs and return the VM fd.

37e29d906c KVM: Add internal filesystem for generating inodes
The kvmfs inodes will represent virtual machines and vcpus, as necessary,
reducing cacheline bouncing due to inodes and filps being shared.
