The correct way for a driver to specify the coherent DMA mask is
not to directly access the field in the struct device, but to use
dma_set_coherent_mask(). Only arch and bus code should access this
member directly.
Convert all direct write accesses to using the correct API.

The code sequence:
dev->coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(24);
dev->dma_mask = &dev->coherent_dma_mask;
bypasses the architectures check on the DMA mask. It can be replaced
with dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(), avoiding the direct initialization
of this mask.

This code sequence is unsafe in modules:
static u64 mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(something);
...
if (!dev->dma_mask)
dev->dma_mask = &mask;
as if a module is reloaded, the mask will be pointing at the original
module's mask address, and this can lead to oopses. Moreover, they
all follow this with:
if (!dev->coherent_dma_mask)
dev->coherent_dma_mask = mask;
where 'mask' is the same value as the statically defined mask, and this
bypasses the architecture's check on whether the DMA mask is possible.
Fix these issues by using the new dma_coerce_coherent_and_mask()
function.

Many drivers contain code such as:
dev->dma_mask = &dev->coherent_dma_mask;
dev->coherent_dma_mask = MASK;
Let's move this pattern out of drivers and have the DMA API provide a
helper for it. This helper uses dma_set_mask_and_coherent() to allow
platform issues to be properly dealt with via dma_set_mask()/
dma_is_supported().

The fallback to 32-bit DMA mask is rather odd:
if (!dma_set_mask(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64)) &&
!dma_set_coherent_mask(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64))) {
pci_using_dac = 1;
} else {
err = dma_set_mask(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32));
if (err) {

if (err) {
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "No usable DMA "
"configuration, aborting\n");
goto err_dma;
}
}
pci_using_dac = 0;
}
This means we only set the coherent DMA mask in the fallback path if
the DMA mask set failed, which is silly. This fixes it to set the
coherent DMA mask only if dma_set_mask() succeeded, and to error out
if either fails.

}
This means we only try and set the coherent DMA mask if we failed to
set a 32-bit DMA mask, and only if both fail do we fail the driver.
Adjust this so that if either setting fails, we fail the driver - and
thereby end up properly setting both the DMA mask and the coherent
DMA mask in the fallback case.

Matt found that commit 27a7c642174e ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot. The
reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA. While most disk
partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].
Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
or 0xFFFFFFFF. No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
other than these.

The LRU list changes interacted badly with our nr_dentry_unused
accounting, and even worse with the new DCACHE_LRU_LIST bit logic.
This introduces helper functions to make sure everything follows the
proper dcache d_lru list rules: the dentry cache is complicated by the
fact that some of the hotpaths don't even want to look at the LRU list
at all, and the fact that we use the same list entry in the dentry for
both the LRU list and for our temporary shrinking lists when removing
things from the LRU.
The helper functions temporarily have some extra sanity checking for the
flag bits that have to match the current LRU state of the dentry. We'll
remove that before the final 3.12 release, but considering how easy it
is to get wrong, this first cleanup version has some very particular
sanity checking.
