Replace all trans_start updates with netif_trans_update helper.
change was done via spatch:

struct net_device *d;

- d-&gt;trans_start = jiffies
+ netif_trans_update(d)

Compile tested only.

Simulator stdin may be connected to a file, when its end is reached
kernel hangs in infinite loop inside rs_poll, because simc_poll always
signals that descriptor 0 is readable and simc_read always returns 0.
Check simc_read return value and exit loop if it's not positive. Also
don't rewind polling timer if it's zero.

Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe:
 "Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for
  (really) fast devices.  The code has been reviewed and has been
  sitting on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough
  for coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation.

  Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported.  A framework is in
  the works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune
  this.  And we'll add libaio support as well soon.  Fow now, it's an
  opt-in feature for test purposes"

No functional changes in this patch, but it prepares us for returning
a more useful cookie related to the IO that was queued up.

Build-time fixes:
- make lbeg/lend/lcount save/restore conditional on kernel entry;
- don't clear lcount in platform_restart functions unconditionally.

Run-time fixes:
- use correct end of range register in __endla paired with __loopt, not
  the unused temporary register. This fixes .bss zero-initialization.
  Update comments in asmmacro.h;
- don't clobber a10 in the usercopy that leads to access to unmapped
  memory.

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This first core part of the block IO changes contains:

   - Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph.  We used to
     rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
     store the error in the bio itself.

   - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
     down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.

   - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
     from Jeff Moyer.  This caused performance regressions in various
     tests.  Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
     instead.

   - Make /sys/block/&lt;dev&gt;/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
     Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
     when deleting files.  Enable the admin to configure the size down.
     We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
     sectors.

   - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.

   - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
     enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
     path).  From Kent.

   - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
     faster.  From Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
     file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
     condition.

   - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
     for a while, and testing them.  Ming also did a few fixes around
     that.

   - Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by
     the bio-&gt;bi_error changes from Christoph.

   - Small blk cgroup cleanup from Viresh Kumar"

<title>block: add a bi_error field to struct bio</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4246a0b63bd8f56a1469b12eafeb875b1041a451</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.
