RDMA needs to post a buffer for each incoming reply.
Hence it needs to keep count of these and needs to be
aware of whether a flushed request has received a reply
or not.
This patch adds the cancelled() callback to the transport modules.
It is called when RFLUSH has been received and that the corresponding
request will never receive a reply.

In rdma_request():
If an error occurs between posting the recv and the send,
there will be a reply context posted without a pending
request.
Since there is no way to "un-post" it, we remember it and
skip post_recv() for the next request.

rdma_request() should never be in charge of freeing rc.
When an error occurs:
* Either the rc buffer has been recv_post()'ed.
then kfree()'ing it certainly is a bad idea.
* Or is has not, and in that case req->rc still points to it,
hence it needs not be freed.

The current code keeps track of the number of buffers posted in the RQ,
and will prevent it from overflowing. But it does so by simply dropping
post requests (And leaking memory in the process).
When this happens there will actually be too few buffers posted, and
soon the 9P server will complain about 'RNR retry counter exceeded'
errors.
Instead, use a semaphore, and block until the RQ is ready for another
buffer to be posted.

The current code assumes that when a request in the request array
does have a tc, it also has a rc.
This is normally true, but not always : when using RDMA, req->rc
will temporarily be set to NULL after the request has been sent.
That is usually OK though, as when the reply arrives, req->rc will be
reassigned to a sane value before the request is recycled.
But there is a catch : if the request is flushed, the reply will never
arrive, and req->rc will be NULL, but not req->tc.
This patch fixes p9_tag_alloc to take this into account.

Allow requests for security.* and trusted.* xattr name spaces
to pass through to server.
The new files are 99% cut and paste from fs/9p/xattr_user.c with the
namespaces changed. It has the intended effect in superficial testing.
I do not know much detail about how these namespaces are used, but passing
them through to the server, which can decide whether to handle them or not,
seems reasonable.
I want to support a use case where an ext4 file system is mounted via 9P,
then re-exported via samba to windows clients in a cluster. Windows wants
to store xattrs such as security.NTACL. This works when ext4 directly
backs samba, but not when 9P is inserted. This use case is documented here:

Call Trace:
register_efivars+0x106/0x370

The reason for the crash is that '__efivars' hasn't been initialised nor
has it been registered with register_efivars() by the time the google
EFI SMI driver runs. The gsmi code uses its own struct efivars, and
therefore, a different variable list. Fix the above crash by passing
the registered struct efivars to variable_is_present(), so that we
traverse the correct list.

User applications running on SMP kernels have long suffered from instability
and random segmentation faults. This patch improves the situation although
there is more work to be done.
One of the problems is the various routines in pgtable.h that update page table
entries use different locking mechanisms, or no lock at all (set_pte_at). This
change modifies the routines to all use the same lock pa_dbit_lock. This lock
is used for dirty bit updates in the interruption code. The patch also purges
the TLB entries associated with the PTE to ensure that inconsistent values are
not used after the page table entry is updated. The UP and SMP code are now
identical.
The change also includes a minor update to the purge_tlb_entries function in
cache.c to improve its efficiency.

CONFIG_MLONGCALLS was introduced in commit
ec758f9832 to overcome linker issues when linking
huge linux kernels, e.g. with many modules linked in.
But in the kernel module loader there is no support yet for the new relocation
types, which is why modules built with -mlong-calls can't be loaded.
Furthermore, for modules long calls are not really necessary, since we already
use stub sections which resolve long distance calls.
So, let's just disable this compiler option when compiling kernel modules.

When targetting 32-bit processors, __put_user emits a pair of stw
instructions for the 8-byte case. If the type of __val is a pointer, the
marshalling code casts it to the wider integer type of u64, resulting
in the following compiler warnings:
kernel/signal.c: In function 'copy_siginfo_to_user':
kernel/signal.c:2752:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
kernel/signal.c:2752:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
[...]
This patch fixes the warnings by removing the marshalling code and using
the correct output modifiers in the __put_{user,kernel}_asm64 macros
so that GCC will allocate the right registers without the need to
extract the two words explicitly.

implementations of EFI don't have QueryVariableInfo but the runtime is
a smaller structure, so the pointer to it may be pointing off into garbage.

the final 3.9 tomorrow. But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead...
* 'x86-kdump-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
kexec: use Crash kernel for Crash kernel low
x86, kdump: Change crashkernel_high/low= to crashkernel=,high/low
x86, kdump: Retore crashkernel= to allocate under 896M
x86, kdump: Set crashkernel_low automatically
Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
"Three groups of fixes:
1. Make sure we don't execute the early microcode patching if family
< 6, since it would touch MSRs which don't exist on those
families, causing crashes.
2. The Xen partial emulation of HyperV can be dealt with more
gracefully than just disabling the driver.
3. More EFI variable space magic. In particular, variables hidden
from runtime code need to be taken into account too."
* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86, microcode: Verify the family before dispatching microcode patching
x86, hyperv: Handle Xen emulation of Hyper-V more gracefully
x86,efi: Implement efi_no_storage_paranoia parameter
efi: Export efi_query_variable_store() for efivars.ko
x86/Kconfig: Make EFI select UCS2_STRING
efi: Distinguish between "remaining space" and actually used space
efi: Pass boot services variable info to runtime code
Move utf16 functions to kernel core and rename
x86,efi: Check max_size only if it is non-zero.
x86, efivars: firmware bug workarounds should be in platform code
Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
"A set of fixes from various people - Will Deacon gets a prize for
removing code this time around. The biggest fix in this lot is
sorting out the ARM740T mess. The rest are relatively small fixes."
