Second preparatory patch for fix-ideal runtime:
Mark prev_sum_exec_runtime at the beginning of our run, the same spot
that adds our wait period to wait_runtime. This seems a more natural
location to do this, and it also reduces the code a bit:
text data bss dec hex filename
13397 228 1204 14829 39ed sched.o.before

First fix the check
if (*imbalance + SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ < busiest_load_per_task)
with this
if (*imbalance < busiest_load_per_task)
As the current check is always false for nice 0 tasks (as
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ is same as busiest_load_per_task for nice 0
tasks).
With the above change, imbalance was getting reset to 0 in the corner
case condition, making the FUZZ logic fail. Fix it by not corrupting the
imbalance and change the imbalance, only when it finds that the HT/MC
optimization is needed.

I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to

commit 6fe6900e1e

Date: Sun May 6 14:49:04 2007 -0700
mm: make read_cache_page synchronous
Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.
I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.
It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a
read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page
without any callers.
Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old
behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the
use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction
well enough to say.

Ryusuke Konishi says:
The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page
before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(),
^^^^^^
static void
truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page)
{
...
cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); <--- Inserted here at
kernel 2.6.20
if (PagePrivate(page))
do_invalidatepage(page, 0); ---> will call
a_ops->invalidatepage()
...
}
and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling
nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending
request (=nfs_page) associated with the page.
int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how)
{
...
if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) {
ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc);
if (ret < 0)
goto out;
}
...
}
Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after
a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated
with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree.
------------------------
Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may
also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated
with them.

IB/ehca: SRQ fixes to enable IPoIB CM
IB/ehca: Fix Small QP regressions
This avoids the recent NFS mount regression (returning EBUSY when
mounting the same filesystem twice with different parameters).
The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel
first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the
user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if
that search fails.
Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere
since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.

This makes the frame handling more correct, and tries to clarify the

The HPET clocksource in drivers/char/hpet.c was written as generic code
for ia64, but it is not yet ready to replace the native HPET clocksource
implementations that the i386/x86-64 architectures use.
On x86[-64], trying to register this clocksource results in potentially
multiple hpet-based clocksources being registered, and if the ia64 one
is chosen on x86_64 some users have experienced hangs.
Eventually all three architectures may end up using the same code, but
that is not the case right now.
