This is a simplified and actually more comprehensive form of a bug
fix from Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams@intel.com>.
When we mask or unmask a msi-x irqs the writes may be posted because
we are writing to memory mapped region. This means the mask and
unmask don't happen immediately but at some unspecified time in the
future. Which is out of sync with how the mask/unmask logic work
for ioapic irqs.
The practical result is that we get very subtle and hard to track down
irq migration bugs.
This patch performs a read flush after writes to the MSI-X table for mask
and unmask operations. Since the SMP affinity is set while the interrupt
is masked, and since it's unmasked immediately after, no additional flushes
are required in the various affinity setting routines.
The testing by Mitch Williams on his especially problematic system should
still be valid as I have only simplified the code, not changed the
functionality.
We currently have 7 drivers: cciss, mthca, cxgb3, forceth, s2io,
pcie/portdrv_core, and qla2xxx in 2.6.21 that are affected by this
problem when the hardware they driver is plugged into the right slot.
Given the difficulty of reproducing this bug and tracing it down to
anything that even remotely resembles a cause, even if people are
being affected we aren't likely to see many meaningful bug reports, and
the people who see this bug aren't likely to be able to reproduce this
bug in a timely fashion. So it is best to get this problem fixed
as soon as we can so people don't have problems.
Then if people do have a kernel message stating "No irq for vector" we
will know it is yet another novel cause that needs a complete new
investigation.

[SCSI]: Fix scsi_send_eh_cmnd scatterlist handling
[SPARC]: Add unsigned to unused bit field in a.out.h
This fixes a regression caused by commit:
2dc611de5a
The sense buffer code in scsi_send_eh_cmnd was changed to use
alloc_page() and a scatter list, but the sense data copy was not
updated to match so what we actually get in the sense buffer is total
grabage starting with the kernel address of the struct page we got.
Basically the stack frame of scsi_send_eh_cmd() is what ends up
in the sense buffer.
Depending upon how pointers look on a given platform, you can
end up getting sr_ioctl.c errors when you mount a cdrom. If
the CDROM gives a check condition for GPCMD_GET_CONFIGURATION issued
by drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c:cdrom_mmc_profile(), sr_ioctl will
spit out this error message in sr_do_ioctl() with the way pointers
are on sparc64:
default:
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: ", cd->cdi.name);
__scsi_print_command(cgc->cmd);
scsi_print_sense_hdr("sr", &sshdr);
err = -EIO;
This is the error Tom Callaway reported in:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-sparc&m=117407453208101&w=2
Anyways, fix this by using page_address(sgl.page) which is OK
because we know this is low-mem due to GFP_ATOMIC.

Dave, we use "int" for returning value,

[PATCH] x86-64: Increase NMI watchdog probing timeout
[PATCH] x86-64: Let oprofile reserve MSR on all CPUs
[PATCH] x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E
The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read()
are broken on original i386 machines, where WP-works-ok == false, as
__copy_to_user_inatomic() on such systems calls functions which might
sleep and/or contain cond_resched() calls inside of a kmap_atomic()
region.
The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved
during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap.
Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic
region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and
pipe_read() are taken.
This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomicby moving the check for
WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive
and can be done later.

Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code
ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode
driver to hang during the resume.
The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in
its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and
hangs. It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the
microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it
from disk.

Dmitry points out
"When we block_prepare_write() failed while ext3_prepare_write() we jump to
"failure" label and call ext3_prepare_failure() witch search last mapped bh
and invoke commit_write untill it. This is wrong!! because some bh from
begining to the last mapped bh may be not uptodate. As a result we commit to
disk not uptodate page content witch contains garbage from previous usage."
and
"Unexpected file size increasing."
Call trace the same as it was in first issue but result is different.
For example we have file with i_size is zero. we want write two blocks ,
but fs has only one free block.
->ext3_prepare_write(...from == 0, to == 2048)
retry:
->block_prepare_write() == -ENOSPC# we failed but allocated one block here.
->ext3_prepare_failure()
->commit_write( from == 0, to == 1024) # after this i_size becomes 1024 :)
if (ret == -ENOSPC && ext3_should_retry_alloc(inode->i_sb, &retries))
goto retry;
Finally when all retries will be spended ext3_prepare_failure return
-ENOSPC, but i_size was increased and later block trimm procedures can't
help here.
We don't appear to have the horsepower to fix these issues, so let's put
things back the way they were for now.

It seems that there must be at least one node in mems and at least one CPU

And I think it would also make sense to include a mems setting in the

I also wonder if something logged to dmsg, explaining why a write failed,
would be a good enhancement. I ended up having rummage arround in cpuset.c

Currently we have a confused udelay implementation.
* __const_udelay does not accept usecs but xloops in i386 and x86_64
* our implementation requires usecs as arg
* it gets a xloops count when called by asm/arch/delay.h
Bugs related to this (extremely long shutdown times) where reported by some
x86_64 users, especially using Device Mapper.
To hit this bug, a compile-time constant time parameter must be passed -
that's why UML seems to work most times. Fix this with a simple udelay

AMD dual core laptops with C1E do not run the APIC timer correctly
when they go idle. Previously the code assumed this only happened
on C2 or deeper. But not all of these systems report support C2.
Use a AMD supplied snippet to detect C1E being enabled and then disable
local apic timer use.
This supercedes an earlier workaround using DMI detection of specific systems.

This patch:
- Switches mb/rmb/wmb back to being full-blown DMBs on ARM SMP systems,
since mb/rmb/wmb are required to order Normal memory accesses as well.
- Enables the use of DMB and ISB on XSC3 (which is an ARMv5TE ISA core
but conforms to the ARMv6 memory ordering model and supports the
various ARMv6 barriers.)
- Makes DMA coherent platforms (only ixp23xx at the moment) map
mb/rmb/wmb to dmb(), as on DMA coherent platforms, DMA consistent
mappings are done as Normal mappings, which are weakly ordered.

Commit 2e3646e51b changed the way the
split config tree is built, but failed to also adjust fixdep accordingly
- if changing a config option from or to m, files referencing the
respective CONFIG_..._MODULE (but not the corresponding CONFIG_...)
didn't get rebuilt.
The problem is that trisate symbol are represent with three different
symbols:
SYMBOL=n => no symbol defined
SYMBOL=y => CONFIG_SYMBOL defined to '1'
SYMBOL=m => CONFIG_SYMBOL_MODULE defined to '1'
But conf_split_config do not distingush between the =y and =m case, so
only the =y case is honoured.
This is fixed in fixdep so when a CONFIG symbol with _MODULE is found we
skip that part and only look for the CONFIG_SYMBOL version.
