2dfbfc3712 IPoIB/cm: Drain cq in ipoib_cm_dev_stop()
Since NAPI polling is disabled while ipoib_cm_dev_stop() is running,
ipoib_cm_dev_stop() must poll the CQ itself in order to see the
packets draining.

c0be5fb5f8 IB/mlx4: Initialize send queue entry ownership bits
We need to initialize the owner bit of send queue WQEs to hardware 
ownership whenever the QP is modified from reset to init, not just 
when the QP is first allocated.  This avoids having the hardware 
process stale WQEs when the QP is moved to reset but not destroyed and 
then modified to init again.

d57c4a3892 [IA64] acpi_get_sysname() should be __init
Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:acpi_find_rsdp
 (between 'acpi_get_sysname' and 'acpi_request_vector')

acpi_get_sysname() needs to call the __init function acpi_find_rsdp, but it
doesn't have the __init attribute itself, hence the warning. Luckily it is
only called from machvec_init() which has __init attribute, so the fix
is to define acpi_get_sysname() as __init too.

92ea77275b Fix crash with irqpoll due to the IRQF_IRQPOLL flag testing
With irqpoll enabled, trying to test the IRQF_IRQPOLL flag in the
actions would cause a NULL pointer dereference if no action was
installed (for example, the driver might have been unloaded with
interrupts still pending).

So be a bit more careful about testing the flag by making sure to test
for that case.

(The actual _change_ is trivial, the patch is more than a one-liner
because I rewrote the testing to also be much more readable.

7fe7f8487a NFS: Avoid a deadlock situation on write
When processes are allowed to attempt to lock a non-contiguous range of nfs
write requests, it is possible for generic_writepages to 'wrap round' the
address space, and call writepage() on a request that is already locked by
the same process.

We avoid the deadlock by checking if the page index is contiguous with the
list of nfs write requests that is already held in our
nfs_pageio_descriptor prior to attempting to lock a new request.

98d8256739 Prevent going idle with softirq pending
The NOHZ patch contains a check for softirqs pending when a CPU goes idle.
The BUG is unrelated to NOHZ, it just was made visible by the NOHZ patch.
The BUG showed up mainly on P4 / hyperthreading enabled machines which lead
the investigations into the wrong direction in the first place.  The real
cause is in cond_resched_softirq():

cond_resched_softirq() is enabling softirqs without invoking the softirq
daemon when softirqs are pending.  This leads to the warning message in the
NOHZ idle code:

t1 runs softirq disabled code on CPU#0
interrupt happens, softirq is raised, but deferred (softirqs disabled)
t1 calls cond_resched_softirq()
	enables softirqs via _local_bh_enable()
	calls schedule()
t2 runs
t1 is migrated to CPU#1
t2 is done and invokes idle()
NOHZ detects the pending softirq

Fix: change _local_bh_enable() to local_bh_enable() so the softirq
daemon is invoked.

Thanks to Anant Nitya for debugging this with great patience !

787f17feb2 md: avoid overflow in raid0 calculation with large components
If a raid0 has a component device larger than 4TB, and is accessed on a 32bit
machines, then as 'chunk' is unsigned long,

   chunk << chunksize_bits

can overflow (this can be as high as the size of the device in KB).  chunk
itself will not overflow (without triggering a BUG).

So change 'chunk' to be 'sector_t, and get rid of the 'BUG' as it becomes
impossible to hit.

1dbf37e8ad i386, x86-64: show that CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is required for suspend on SMP
It's not sufficiently documented that CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is required for
suspend/hibernation on SMP.

Point out the non-obvious.

82cd0e8410 i2o: eliminate a peculiar constraint on i2o_max_drivers
There is no reason i2o_max_drivers must be a power of two.  This patch
eliminates such a constraint.

be324797d9 i2o: fix notifiers when max_drivers is configured
Maximum number of I2O drivers which could be registered is configurable by
max_drivers module parameter.

But the module parameter is ignored and default value (I2O_MAX_DRIVERS = 8)
is used in the loops to notify all registered drivers.

e578e9a1cc i2o: destroy event queue only when drv->event is set
i2o_driver_register() initalizes event queue for driver only when
drv->event is set.  So similarly the event queue should be destroyed only
when drv->event is set in the error path.  Otherwise destroy_workqueue()
will called with NULL.

b3762bfc8d signalfd: retrieve multiple signals with one read() call
Gathering signals in bulk enables server applications to drain a signal
queue (almost full of realtime signals) more efficiently by reducing the
syscall and file look-up overhead.

Very similar to the sigtimedwait4() call described by Niels Provos, Chuck
Lever, and Stephen Tweedie in a paper entitled "Analyzing the Overload
Behavior of a Simple Web Server".  The paper lists more details and
advantages.
