Here's the big driver core merge for 3.11-rc1
Lots of little things, and larger firmware subsystem updates, all
described in the shortlog. Nice thing here is that we finally get rid
of CONFIG_HOTPLUG, after 10+ years, thanks to Stephen Rohtwell (it had
been always on for a number of kernel releases, now it's just removed.)

Whenever a DASD request encounters a timeout we might
need to abort all outstanding requests on this or
even other devices.
This is especially useful if one wants to fail all
devices on one side of a RAID10 configuration, even
though only one device exhibited an error.
To handle this I've introduced a new device flag
DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO.
This flag is evaluated in __dasd_process_request_queue()
and will invoke blk_abort_request() for all
outstanding requests with DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST set.
This will cause any of these requests to be aborted
immediately if the blk_timeout function is activated.
The DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO is also evaluated in
__dasd_process_request_queue to abort all
new request which would have the
DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST bit set.
The flag can be set with the new ioctls 'BIODASDABORTIO'
and removed with 'BIODASDALLOWIO'.

There are three users of adapter interrupts: AP, QDIO and PCI. Each
registers a single adapter interrupt with independent ISCs. Define
a "struct airq" with the interrupt handler, a pointer and a mask for
the local summary indicator and the ISC for the adapter interrupt
source. Convert the indicator array with its fixed number of adapter
interrupt sources per ISE to an array of hlists. This removes the
limitation to 32 adapter interrupts per ISC and allows for arbitrary
memory locations for the local summary indicator.

Author: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@suse.com>
Date: Mon Dec 17 16:01:31 2012 -0800
sscanf: don't ignore field widths for numeric conversions
This broke the WWPN and LUN sysfs attributes for s390 reipl and dump
on panic.
Example:
$ echo 0x0123456701234567 > /sys/firmware/reipl/fcp/wwpn
$ cat /sys/firmware/reipl/fcp/wwpn
0x0001234567012345
So fix this and use format strings that work also with the
new sscanf implementation:
$ echo 0x012345670123456789 > /sys/firmware/reipl/fcp/wwpn
$ cat /sys/firmware/reipl/fcp/wwpn

Touching the real key is ok also for the host: The change bit is

IPIs might be lost when a cpu gets brought offline:
When stop_machine executes its state machine there is a race window
for the state STOPMACHINE_DISABLE_IRQ where the to be brought offline
cpu might already have irqs disabled but a different cpu still may
have irqs enabled.
If the enabled cpu receives an interrupt and as a result sends an IPI
to the to be offlined cpu in its bottom halve context, the IPI won't
be noticed before the cpu is offline.
In fact the race window is much larger since there is no guarantee
when an IPI will be received.
To fix this check for enqueued but not yet received IPIs in the
cpu_disable() path and call the respective handlers before the cpu
is marked offline.

On s390 the prefix page and absolute zero pages are not correctly
returned when reading /dev/mem. The reason is that the s390 asm/io.h
file includes the asm-generic/io.h file which then defines
xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and therefore overwrites the s390 specific
version that does the correct swap operation for prefix and absolute
zero pages. The problem is a regression that was introduced with git
commit cd248341 (s390/pci: base support).
To fix the problem add "#ifndef xlate_dev_mem_ptr" in asm-generic/io.h
and "#define xlate_dev_mem_ptr" in asm/io.h. This ensures that the
s390 version is used. For completeness also add the "#ifndef"
construct for xlate_dev_kmem_ptr().

On heavy paging load some guest cpus started to loop in gmap_ipte_notify.
This was visible as stalled cpus inside the guest. The gmap_ipte_notifier
tries to map a user page and then made sure that the pte is valid and
writable. Turns out that with the software change bit tracking the pte
can become read-only (and only software writable) if the page is clean.
Since we loop in this code, the page would stay clean and, therefore,
be never writable again.
