When we are doing ucopy, we try to defer the ACK generation to
cleanup_rbuf(). This works most of the time very well, but if the
ucopy prequeue is large, this ACKing behavior kills performance.
With TSO, it is possible to fill the prequeue so large that by the
time the ACK is sent and gets back to the sender, most of the window
has emptied of data and performance suffers significantly.
This behavior does help in some cases, so we should think about
re-enabling this trick in the future, using some kind of limit in
order to avoid the bug case.

The latest speedbumped Apple G5 models have a "bug" in the Open Firmware
device tree that lacks the proper interrupt routing information for the
northbridge i2c controller. Apple's driver silently falls back into a
sub-optimal "polled" mode (heh, maybe they didn't even notice the bug
because of that :), our driver didn't properly check and crashes :(
This patch fixes our driver to not crash, and adds code to the
prom_init() OF trampoline code that detects the "bug" and adds the
missing information back for this chipset revision. This fixes booting
and thermal control on these models.

I came across the following problem while running ltp-aiodio testcases from
ltp-full-20050405 on linux-2.6.12-rc3-mm3. I tried running the tests with
EXT3 as well as JFS filesystems.
One or two fsx-linux testcases were hung after some time. These testcases
were hanging at wait_for_all_aios().
Debugging shows that there were some iocbs which were not getting completed
eventhough the last retry for those returned -EIOCBQUEUED. Also all such
pending iocbs represented READ operation.
Further debugging revealed that all such iocbs hit EOF in the DIO layer.
To be more precise, the "pos" from which they were trying to read was
greater than the "size" of the file. So the generic_file_direct_IO
returned 0.
This happens rarely as there is already a check in
__generic_file_aio_read(), for whether "pos" < "size" before calling direct
IO routine.
>size = i_size_read(inode);
>if (pos < size) {
> retval = generic_file_direct_IO(READ, iocb,
> iov, pos, nr_segs);
But for READ, we are taking the inode->i_sem only in the DIO layer. So it
is possible that some other process can change the size of the file before
we take the i_sem. In such a case ( when "pos" > "size"), the
__generic_file_aio_read() would return -EIOCBQUEUED even though there were
no I/O requests submitted by the DIO layer. This would cause the AIO layer
to expect aio_complete() for THE iocb, which doesnot happen. And thus the
test hangs forever, waiting for an I/O completion, where there are no
requests submitted at all.
The following patch makes __generic_file_aio_read() return 0 (instead of
returning -EIOCBQUEUED), on getting 0 from generic_file_direct_IO(), so
that the AIO layer does the aio_complete().
Testing:
I have tested the patch on a SMP machine(with 2 Pentium 4 (HT)) running
linux-2.6.12-rc3-mm3. I ran the ltp-aiodio testcases and none of the
fsx-linux tests hung. Also the aio-stress tests ran without any problem.

In _spin_unlock_bh(lock):
do { \

preempt_enable(); \
local_bh_enable(); \
__release(lock); \
} while (0)
there is no reason for using preempt_enable() instead of a simple
preempt_enable_no_resched()
Since we know bottom halves are disabled, preempt_schedule() will always
return at once (preempt_count!=0), and hence preempt_check_resched() is
useless here...
This fixes it by using "preempt_enable_no_resched()" instead of the
"preempt_enable()", and thus avoids the useless preempt_check_resched()
just before re-enabling bottom halves.

ce/interfaces/clock_nanosleep/1-5.c fails if it runs as a 32bit process on

The root cause is the sub 32bit process fails to restart the syscall after it
is interrupted by a signal.
The syscall number of sys_restart_syscall in table sys_call_table is
__NR_restart_syscall (219) while it's __NR_ia32_restart_syscall
(0) in ia32_sys_call_table. When regs->rax==(unsigned

This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No
more Mr. Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu().
Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take
the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to
update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for
the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So
we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed.
This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch.
And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match.
The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar
Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore
much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking
entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is
not worth doing in this case.

The allocation of all of our components should be done in slave alloc.
Currently it's rather fancifully refcounted in the queuecommand
callback. This patch moves allocation and destroy to their correct
places in slave_alloc/slave_destory. Now we can guarantee that
everywhere a device is requested, it's actually been allocated, so don't
check for this anymore.
Additionally, the per device busy timer was the only source of potential
use after free. It's been deleted because Linux does the correct thing
with busy returns, so there's no need to implement a separate timer in
the driver.
Finally, implement code that forces all the device parameters to zero
(i.e. async and narrow) in the slave alloc, inform the spi class of the
bios recorded maximums and wait until slave configure before trying
anything more adventurous.

On ppc32, the platform code can supply a "progress" function that is

in an init section and so can't be called after the init pages are
freed. Now that the cpu bringup code can be called after the system
is booted (for hotplug cpu) we can get the situation where the
progress function can be called after boot. The simple fix is to set
the progress function pointer to NULL when the init pages are freed,
and that is what this patch does (note that all callers already check
whether the function pointer is NULL before trying to call it).
