kernel/smp.c: remove cpumask_ipi

2014-01-31T00:56:54+00:00

After commit 9a46ad6d6df3 ("smp: make smp_call_function_many() use logic
similar to smp_call_function_single()"), cfd->cpumask is accessed only
in smp_call_function_many().  So there is no more need to copy it into
cfd->cpumask_ipi before putting csd into the list.  The cpumask_ipi
field is obsolete and can be removed.

Merge branch 'for-3.14/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2014-01-30T19:19:05+00:00

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
 "The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the
  rest is fairly minor.  It was supposed to go in last round, but
  various issues pushed it to this release instead.  The pull request
  contains:

   - Various smaller blk-mq fixes from different folks.  Nothing major
     here, just minor fixes and cleanups.

   - Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code
     from Christian Engelmayer.

   - Header export fix from CaiZhiyong.

   - Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet.  This
     enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios
     possible, and splitting more efficient.  Related fixes to immutable
     bio_vecs:

        - dm-cache immutable fixup from Mike Snitzer.
        - btrfs immutable fixup from Muthu Kumar.

  - bio-integrity fix from Nic Bellinger, which is also going to stable"

sched: Make sched_class::get_rr_interval() optional

2014-01-28T12:08:41+00:00

Not all classes implement (or can implement) a useful get_rr_interval()
function, default to a 0 time-slice for them.

This fixes a crash reported by Tommi Rantala.
