When a driver requests to do IO, we will adjust the mask of
paths to be used to exclude varied offline paths.
Drivers trying to do IO solely on paths which are online but some
way defective may lack the information to do proper error handling.
There is no reason to allow the usage of known to be broken paths.

the paths cio found usable (this also excludes offline paths).

[S390] remove reset of system call restart on psw changes
git commit 20b40a794baf3b4b "signal race with restarting system calls"
added code to the poke_user/poke_user_compat to reset the system call
restart information in the thread-info if the PSW address is changed.
The purpose of that change has been to workaround old gdbs that do
not know about the REGSET_SYSTEM_CALL. It turned out that this is not
a good idea, it makes the behaviour of the debuggee dependent on the
order of specific ptrace call, e.g. the REGSET_SYSTEM_CALL register
set needs to be written last. And the workaround does not really fix
old gdbs, inferior calls on interrupted restarting system calls do not
work either way.

sch_red: fix red_calc_qavg_from_idle_time
Since commit a4a710c4a7490587 (pkt_sched: Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to
6) it seems RED/GRED are broken.
red_calc_qavg_from_idle_time() computes a delay in us units, but this
delay is now 16 times bigger than real delay, so the final qavg result
smaller than expected.
Use standard kernel time services since there is no need to obfuscate
them.
Currently netem is not in the ability to emulate channel bandwidth. Only static
delay (and optional random jitter) can be configured.
To emulate the channel rate the token bucket filter (sch_tbf) can be used. But
TBF has some major emulation flaws. The buffer (token bucket depth/rate) cannot
be 0. Also the idea behind TBF is that the credit (token in buckets) fills if
no packet is transmitted. So that there is always a "positive" credit for new
packets. In real life this behavior contradicts the law of nature where
nothing can travel faster as speed of light. E.g.: on an emulated 1000 byte/s
link a small IPv4/TCP SYN packet with ~50 byte require ~0.05 seconds - not 0
seconds.
Netem is an excellent place to implement a rate limiting feature: static
delay is already implemented, tfifo already has time information and the
user can skip TBF configuration completely.
This patch implement rate feature which can be configured via tc. e.g:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 10kbit
To emulate a link of 5000byte/s and add an additional static delay of 10ms:
Note: similar to TBF the rate extension is bounded to the kernel timing
system. Depending on the architecture timer granularity, higher rates (e.g.
10mbit/s and higher) tend to transmission bursts. Also note: further queues
living in network adaptors; see ethtool(8).
Only use the primary address of the bond device
for master_ip. This will prevent changing the ARP source
address in Active-Backup mode whenever a secondry address
is added to the bond device.

Besides a potential race condition due to the multiple use of the list

up all non-bitmap free extents, the try-to-set-up-cluster dance is
done at every metadata block allocation. For every block group, we
fail to set up a cluster, and after failing on them all up to twice,
we fall back to the much slower unclustered allocation.
To make matters worse, before the unclustered allocation, we try to
create new block groups until we reach the 1% threshold, which
introduces additional bitmaps and thus block groups that we'll iterate
over at each metadata block request.
