[PATCH] md: Fix 'rdev->nr_pending' count when retrying barrier requests
When retrying a failed BIO_RW_BARRIER request, we need to keep the reference
in ->nr_pending over the whole retry. Currently, we only hold the reference
if the failed request is the *last* one to finish - which is silly, because it
would normally be the first to finish.
So move the rdev_dec_pending call up into the didn't-fail branch. As the rdev
isn't used in the later code, calling rdev_dec_pending earlier doesn't hurt.

[PATCH] Rework of IPC auditing
1) The audit_ipc_perms() function has been split into two different
functions:
- audit_ipc_obj()
- audit_ipc_set_perm()
There's a key shift here... The audit_ipc_obj() collects the uid, gid,
mode, and SElinux context label of the current ipc object. This
audit_ipc_obj() hook is now found in several places. Most notably, it
is hooked in ipcperms(), which is called in various places around the
ipc code permforming a MAC check. Additionally there are several places
where *checkid() is used to validate that an operation is being
performed on a valid object while not necessarily having a nearby
ipcperms() call. In these locations, audit_ipc_obj() is called to
ensure that the information is captured by the audit system.
The audit_set_new_perm() function is called any time the permissions on
the ipc object changes. In this case, the NEW permissions are recorded
(and note that an audit_ipc_obj() call exists just a few lines before
each instance).
2) Support for an AUDIT_IPC_SET_PERM audit message type. This allows
for separate auxiliary audit records for normal operations on an IPC
object and permissions changes. Note that the same struct
audit_aux_data_ipcctl is used and populated, however there are separate
audit_log_format statements based on the type of the message. Finally,
the AUDIT_IPC block of code in audit_free_aux() was extended to handle
aux messages of this new type. No more mem leaks I hope ;-)

With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG=y networking over qeth doesn't work. The problem is
that the qib structure embedded in the qeth_irq structure needs an alignment
of 256 but kmalloc only guarantees an alignment of 8. When using SLAB
debugging the alignment of qeth_irq is not sufficient for the embedded qib
structure which causes all users of qdio (qeth and zfcp) to stop working.
Allocate qeth_irq structure with __get_free_page. That wastes a small amount
of memory (~2500 bytes) per online adapter.

The dasd state machine is not designed to enable an unformatted device, since
'unformatted' is a final state. The BIODASDENABLE ioctl calls
dasd_enable_device() which never returns if the device is in this special
state. Return -EPERM in dasd_increase_state for unformatted devices to make
dasd_enable_device terminate. Note: To get such an unformatted device online
it has to be re-analyzed. This means that the device needs to be disabled
prior to re-enablement.

[PATCH] s390: qdio memory allocations
Avoid memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL in qdio_establish/qdio_shutdown. Use
memory pool instead. (Otherwise this can lead to an I/O stall where qdio
waits for a free page and zfcp waits for end of error recovery in low memory
situations.)

If a signal handler has been established with the SA_ONSTACK option but no
alternate stack is provided with sigaltstack(), the kernel still tries to
install the alternate stack. Also when setting an alternate stack with
sigalstack() and the SS_DISABLE flag, the kernel tries to install the
alternate stack on signal delivery. Use the correct conditions sas_ss_flags()
to check if the alternate stack has to be used.
