4cbf2aa35e [PATCH] sky2: revert IRQ dance on suspend/resume
Let's just backout the IRQ hack, and for those crap machines (like some
Sony VAIO's) can just disable MSI with the module parameter.

This reverts 44ade17824.

dc6e29da91 Fix balance_dirty_page() calculations with CONFIG_HIGHMEM
This makes balance_dirty_page() always base its calculations on the
amount of non-highmem memory in the machine, rather than try to base it
on total memory and then falling back on non-highmem memory if the
mapping it was writing wasn't highmem capable.

This not only fixes a situation where two different writers can have
wildly different notions about what is a "balanced" dirty state, but it
also means that people with highmem machines don't run into an OOM
situation when regular memory fills up with dirty pages.

We used to try to handle the latter case by scaling down the dirty_ratio
if the machine had a lot of highmem pages in page_writeback_init(), but
it wasn't aggressive enough for some situations, and since basing the
dirty ratio on highmem memory was broken in the first place, let's just
stop doing so.

(A variation of this theme fixed Justin Piszcz's OOM problem when
copying an 18GB file on a RAID setup).

7d2aae1e88 [PATCH] ALSA: Fix sysfs breakage
The recent change for a new sysfs tree with card* object breaks the
/sys/class/sound tree if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled.
The device in each entry doesn't point the correct device object:

  /sys/class/sound
  ...
  |-- pcmC0D0c
  |   |-- dev
  |   |-- device -> ../../../class/sound/card0
  |   |-- pcm_class
  |   |-- power
  |   |   `-- wakeup
  |   |-- subsystem -> ../../../class/sound
  |   `-- uevent

Also, this change breaks some drivers (like sound/arm/*) referring
card->dev directly to obtain the device object for memory handling.

This patch reverts the semantics of card->dev to the former version,
which points to a real device object.  The card* object is stored in a
new card->card_dev field, instead.  The device parent is chosen either
card->dev or card->card_dev according to CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED to
keep the tree compatibility.
Also, card* isn't created if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled.  The
reason of card* object is a root of all beloing devices, and it makes
little sense if each sound device points to the real device object
directly.

86d43258bc [SPARC64]: Set g4/g5 properly in sun4v dtlb-prot handling.
Mirror the logic in the sun4u handler, we have to update
both registers even when we branch out to window fault
fixup handling.

The way it works is that if we are in etrap processing a
fault already, g4/g5 holds the original fault information.
If we take a window spill fault while doing etrap, then
we put the window spill fault info into g4/g5 and this is
what the top-level fault handler ends up processing first.

Then we retry the originally faulting instruction, and
process the original fault at that time.

This is all necessary because of how constrained the trap
registers are in these code paths.  These cases trigger
very rarely, so even if there is some performance implication
it's doesn't happen very often.  In fact the rarity is why
it took so long to trigger and find this particular bug.

8cdf92a98f Fix Maple PATA IRQ assignment.
On the Maple board, the AMD8111 IDE is in legacy mode... except that it
appears on IRQ 20 instead of IRQ 15. For drivers/ide this was handled by
the architecture's "pci_get_legacy_ide_irq()" function, but in libata we
just hard-code the numbers 14 and 15.

This patch provides asm-powerpc/libata-portmap.h which maps the IRQ as
appropriate, having added a pci_dev argument to the
ATA_{PRIM,SECOND}ARY_IRQ macros.

There's probably a better way to do this -- especially if we observe
that the _only_ case in which this seemingly-generic
"pci_get_legacy_ide_irq()" function returns anything other than 14 and
15 for primary and secondary respectively is the case of the AMD8111 on
the Maple board -- couldn't we handle that with a special case in the
pata_amd driver, or perhaps with a PCI quirk for Maple to switch it into
native mode during early boot and assign resources properly?

dfd7a3db38 ahci: use 0x80 as wait stat value instead of 0xff
Before hardreset, ahci initialized stat part of received FIS area to
0xff to wait for the first D2H Reg FIS which would change the value to
device ready state.  This used to work but now libata considers status
value of 0xff as device not present making this wait prone to failure.

This patch makes ahci use 0x80 for the wait stat value instead of
0xff to fix the above problem.

569d3287c1 [PATCH] MM: Remove [PATCH] invalidate_inode_pages2_range() debug
NFS can handle the case where invalidate_inode_pages2_range() fails, so the
premise behind commit 8258d4a574 is now gone.

Remove the WARN_ON_ONCE() which is causing users grief as we can see from
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7826

2a2275d630 [PATCH] md: fix potential memalloc deadlock in md
If a GFP_KERNEL allocation is attempted in md while the mddev_lock is held,
it is possible for a deadlock to eventuate.

This happens if the array was marked 'clean', and the memalloc triggers a
write-out to the md device.

For the writeout to succeed, the array must be marked 'dirty', and that
requires getting the mddev_lock.

So, before attempting a GFP_KERNEL allocation while holding the lock, make
sure the array is marked 'dirty' (unless it is currently read-only).

a0ad13ef64 [PATCH] knfsd: Fix type mismatch with filldir_t used by nfsd
nfsd defines a type 'encode_dent_fn' which is much like 'filldir_t' except
that the first pointer is 'struct readdir_cd *' rather than 'void *'.  It
then casts encode_dent_fn points to 'filldir_t' as needed.  This hides any
other type mismatches between the two such as the fact that the 'ino' arg
recently changed from ino_t to u64.

So: get rid of 'encode_dent_fn', get rid of the cast of the function type,
change the first arg of various functions from 'struct readdir_cd *' to
'void *', and live with the fact that we have a little less type checking
on the calling of these functions now.  Less internal (to nfsd) checking
offset by more external checking, which is more important.

Thanks to Gabriel Paubert <paubert@iram.es> for discovering this and
providing an initial patch.

bfa152fa5e [PATCH] dm-multipath: fix stall on noflush suspend/resume
Allow noflush suspend/resume of device-mapper device only for the case
where the device size is unchanged.

Otherwise, dm-multipath devices can stall when resumed if noflush was used
when suspending them, all paths have failed and queue_if_no_path is set.

Explanation:
 1. Something is doing fsync() on the block dev,
    holding inode->i_sem
 2. The fsync write is blocked by all-paths-down and queue_if_no_path
 3. Someone requests to suspend the dm device with noflush.
    Pending writes are left in queue.
 4. In the middle of dm_resume(), __bind() tries to get
    inode->i_sem to do __set_size() and waits forever.

'noflush suspend' is a new device-mapper feature introduced in
early 2.6.20. So I hope the fix being included before 2.6.20 is
released.

Example of reproducer:
 1. Create a multipath device by dmsetup
 2. Fail all paths during mkfs
 3. Do dmsetup suspend --noflush and load new map with healthy paths
 4. Do dmsetup resume
