Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker:
"Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really
need it.
These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously. We now have
things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or
subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible. What is
remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a
single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir.
Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from
independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed."
Fix up trivial conflicts due to clashes with other include file cleanups
(including some due to the previous bug.h cleanup pull).
* tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
fs: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
includecheck: delete any duplicate instances of module.h

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.

When alloc fails, free_table is being called. Depending on the number of
bytes requested, we determine if we are going to call _get_free_page()
or kmalloc(). When alloc fails, our math is wrong (due to sg_size - 1),
and the last buffer is wrongfully assumed to have been allocated by
kmalloc. Hence, kfree gets called and a panic occurs.

kmemleak ignores page_alloc() and so believes the final sub-page
allocation using the plain kmalloc is decoupled and lost. This leads to
lots of false-positives with code that uses scatterlists.
The options seem to be either to tell kmemleak that the kmalloc is not
leaked or to notify kmemleak of the page allocations. The danger of the
first approach is that we may hide a real leak, so choose the latter
approach (of which I am not sure of the downsides).
v2: Added comments on the suggestion of Catalin.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

sg_miter_start() is currently unaware of the direction of the copy
process (to or from the scatter list). It is important to know the
direction because the page has to be flushed in case the data written
is seen on a different mapping in user land on cache incoherent
architectures.

Impact: fix not-so-critical but annoying bug
sg_miter_next() returns 0 sized mapping if there is an zero sized sg
entry in the list or at the end of each iteration. As the users
always check the ->length field, this bug shouldn't be critical other
than causing unnecessary iteration.
Fix it.

kunmap() takes as argument the struct page that orginally got kmap()'d,
however the sg_miter_stop() function passed it the kernel virtual address
instead, resulting in weird stuff.
Somehow I ended up fixing this bug by accident while looking for a bug in
the same area.

The callers of sg_copy_buffer must disable interrupts before calling
it (since it uses kmap_atomic). Some callers use it on
interrupt-disabled code but some need to take the trouble to disable
interrupts just for this. No wonder they forget about it and we hit a
bug like:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529
James said that it might be better to disable interrupts inside the
function rather than risk the callers getting it wrong.

This is alternative implementation of sg content iterator introduced
by commit 83e7d317... from Pierre Ossman in next-20080716. As there's
already an sg iterator which iterates over sg entries themselves, name
this sg_mapping_iterator.
Slightly edited description from the original implementation follows.
Iteration over a sg list is not that trivial when you take into
account that memory pages might have to be mapped before being used.
Unfortunately, that means that some parts of the kernel restrict
themselves to directly accesible memory just to not have to deal with
the mess.
This patch adds a simple iterator system that allows any code to
easily traverse an sg list and not have to deal with all the details.
The user can decide to consume part of the iteration. Also, iteration
can be stopped and resumed later if releasing the kmap between
iteration steps is necessary. These features are useful to implement
piecemeal sg copying for interrupt drive PIO for example.

This patch adds new three helper functions to copy data between an SG
list and a linear buffer.
- sg_copy_from_buffer copies data from linear buffer to an SG list
- sg_copy_to_buffer copies data from an SG list to a linear buffer
When the APIs copy data from a linear buffer to an SG list,
flush_kernel_dcache_page is called. It's not necessary for everyone
but it's a no-op on most architectures and in general the API is not
used in performance critical path.

SCSI sg table allocation has a maximum size (of SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS,
currently 128) and this will cause a BUG_ON() in SCSI if something
tries an allocation over it. This patch adds a size limit to the
chaining allocator to allow the specification of the maximum
allocation size for chaining, so we always chain in units of the
maximum SCSI allocation size.
