Remove the __resched_legal() check: it is conceptually broken. The biggest
problem it had is that it can mask buggy cond_resched() calls. A
cond_resched() call is only legal if we are not in an atomic context, with
two narrow exceptions:
- if the system is booting
- a reacquire_kernel_lock() down() done while PREEMPT_ACTIVE is set
But __resched_legal() hid this and just silently returned whenever
these primitives were called from invalid contexts. (Same goes for
cond_resched_locked() and cond_resched_softirq()).
Furthermore, the __legal_resched(0) call was buggy in that it caused
unnecessarily long softirq latencies via cond_resched_softirq(). (which is
only called from softirq-off sections, hence the code did nothing.)
The fix is to resurrect the efficiency of the might_sleep checks and to
only allow the narrow exceptions.

constrained_alloc(), which is called to detect where oom is from, checks
passed zone_list(). If zone_list doesn't include all nodes, it thinks oom

But there is memory-less-node. memory-less-node's zones are never included

contstrained_alloc() should get memory_less_node into count. Otherwise, it
always thinks 'oom is from mempolicy'. This means that current process

WARN_ON() ever triggering is a kernel bug. Do not try to paper over this
fact by suggesting to the user that this is 'only' a warning, as the
following recent commit does:
commit 30e25b71e7
Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
Date: Fri Dec 8 02:36:24 2006 -0800
[PATCH] Fix generic WARN_ON message
A warning is a warning, not a BUG.
( it might make sense to rename BUG() to CRASH() and BUG_ON() to
CRASH_ON(), but that does not change the fact that WARN_ON()
signals a kernel bug. )
i and others objected to this change during lkml review:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116115160710533&w=2
still the change slipped upstream - grumble :)
Also, use the standard "BUG: " format to make it easier to grep logs and
to make it easier to google for kernel bugs.

lockdep found a AB BC CA lock inversion in retry-based AIO:
1) The task struct's alloc_lock (A) is acquired in process context with
interrupts enabled. An interrupt might arrive and call wake_up() which
grabs the wait queue's q->lock (B).
2) When performing retry-based AIO the AIO core registers
aio_wake_function() as the wake funtion for iocb->ki_wait. It is called
with the wait queue's q->lock (B) held and then tries to add the iocb to
the run list after acquiring the ctx_lock (C).
3) aio_kick_handler() holds the ctx_lock (C) while acquiring the
alloc_lock (A) via lock_task() and unuse_mm(). Lockdep emits a warning
saying that we're trying to connect the irq-safe q->lock to the
irq-unsafe alloc_lock via ctx_lock.
This fixes the inversion by calling unuse_mm() in the AIO kick handing path
after we've released the ctx_lock. As Ben LaHaise pointed out __put_ioctx
could set ctx->mm to NULL, so we must only access ctx->mm while we have the
lock.

ACPI PM2 register was fallback for "Longhaul ver. 1" CPU's.
My assumption that this register isn't present at
"PowerSaver" motherboards is so far true, but current code
will not work correctly in other case. There are three possible
supports: ACPI C3, PM2 and northbridge. That was my assumption
that ACPI C3 and northbridge is for PS and northbridge and PM2
is for V1. In current code we can only check if it is ACPI
support or not by port22_en. So remove port22_en and add
longhaul_flags. If USE_ACPI_C3 and USE_NORTHBRIDGE are both
clear then it means ACPI PM2 support. Also change order of
support probe from ACPI C3, PM2, northbridge to ACPI C3,
northbridge, ACPI PM2. Paranoid protection against port 0x22
cast as ACPI PM2 register. Bit 1 clear in such case - lockup
on AGP DMA. And obvious (now) fixup for do_powersaver. Use
cx->address only for ACPI C3 ("PowerSaver" processor using
PM2 support).

The VM layer (on the face of it, fairly reasonably) expected that when
it does a ->writepage() call to the filesystem, it would write out the
full page at that point in time. Especially since it had earlier marked
the whole page dirty with "set_page_dirty()".
But that isn't actually the case: ->writepage() does not actually write
a page, it writes the parts of the page that have been explicitly marked
dirty before, *and* that had not got written out for other reasons since
the last time we told it they were dirty.
That last caveat is the important one.
Which _most_ of the time ends up being the whole page (since we had
called "set_page_dirty()" on the page earlier), but if the filesystem
had done any dirty flushing of its own (for example, to honor some
internal write ordering guarantees), it might end up doing only a
partial page IO (or none at all) when ->writepage() is actually called.
That is the correct thing in general (since we actually often _want_
only the known-dirty parts of the page to be written out), but the
shared dirty page handling had implicitly forgotten about these details,
and had a number of cases where it was doing just the "->writepage()"
part, without telling the low-level filesystem that the whole page might
have been re-dirtied as part of being mapped writably into user space.
Since most of the time the FS did actually write out the full page, we
didn't notice this for a loong time, and this needed some really odd
patterns to trigger. But it caused occasional corruption with rtorrent
and with the Debian "apt" database, because both use shared mmaps to
update the end result.
This fixes it. Finally. After way too much hair-pulling.
