a299738283 [PATCH] use cheaper elv_queue_empty when unplug a device
In function __generic_unplug_device(), kernel can use a cheaper function
elv_queue_empty() instead of more expensive elv_next_request to find
whether the queue is empty or not.  blk_run_queue can also made conditional
on whether queue's emptiness before calling request_fn().

4a534f93b3 [PATCH] possible use-after-free of bio
There is a possibility that a bio will be accessed after it has been freed
on SCSI.  It happens if you submit a bio with BIO_SYNC marked and the
auto-unplugging kicks the request_fn, SCSI re-enables interrupts in-between
so if the request completes between the add_request() in __make_request()
and the bio_sync() call, we could be looking at a dead bio.  It's a slim
race, but it has been triggered in the Real World.

So assign bio_sync() to a local variable instead.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
