c97884b5de myri10ge: Remove nonsensical limit in the tx done routine
Remove nonsensical limit in the tx done routine. Specifically,
the loop will always terminate after processing <= 1 rings worth
of frames, as the mcp index is not refetched, so the removed
conditional could never be true.

aa617aa956 s390: scatter-gather for inbound traffic in qeth driver
For large incoming packets > PAGE_SIZE/2 qeth creates a fragmented skb
by adding pointers to qdio pages to the fragment list of the skb.
This avoids allocating big chunks of consecutive memory. Also copying
data from the qdio buffer to the skb is economized.

44c8215257 eHEA: Introducing support vor DLPAR memory add
This patch adds support for DLPAR memory add to the eHEA driver. To detect
whether memory was added the driver uses its own memory mapping table and
checks for kernel addresses whether they're located in already known memory
sections. If not the function ehea_rereg_mrs() is triggered which performs
a rebuild of the mapping table and a re-registration of the global memory
region.

959bc220df Fix LDM for new field in the VOL5 VBLK.
Teach LDM about a new field encountered with Windows Vista.

This fixes LDM for people using Vista who have disabled drive letter
assignment from one or more volumes.  Doing this introduces a so far
unknown field in the LDM database in the VOL5 VBLK structure which
causes the LDM driver to fail to parse the VBLK structure and hence LDM
fails to parse the disk altogether.  This patch teaches the driver about
this field.

Thanks got to Ashton Mills <amills@iinet.com.au> for reporting the
problem and working with me on getting it fixed.  It is now working for
him.

5e70030d4c ext4: statfs speed up
This is a patch that speeds up statfs.  It is very simple - the "overhead"
calculation, which takes a huge amount of time for large filesystems, never
changes unless the size of the filesystem itself changes.  That means we can
store it in memory and only recalculate if the filesystem has been resized
(almost never).

It also fixes a minor problem that we never update the on-disk superblock free
blocks/inodes counts until the filesystem is unmounted.  While not fatal, we
may as well update that on disk when we have the information, and it makes
things like debugfs and dumpe2fs report a bit more accurate info.

Using code from

http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/bcd/decimal.html
(with permission from the author, Douglas W. Jones)

binary-to-decimal-string conversion is done in groups of five digits at
once, using only additions/subtractions/shifts (with -O2; -Os throws in
some multiply instructions).

On i386 arch gcc 4.1.2 -O2 generates ~500 bytes of code.

This patch is run tested. Userspace benchmark/test is also attached.
I tested it on PIII and AMD64 and new code is generally ~2.5 times
faster. On AMD64:

# ./vsprintf_verify-O2
Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration
Patched decimal conv:  .......... 62 ns per iteration
Testing correctness
12895992590592 ok...        [Ctrl-C]
# ./vsprintf_verify-O2
Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration
Patched decimal conv:  .......... 62 ns per iteration
Testing correctness
26025406464 ok...        [Ctrl-C]

More realistic test: top from busybox project was modified to
report how many us it took to scan /proc (this does not account
any processing done after that, like sorting process list),
and then I test it with 4000 processes:

#!/bin/sh
i=4000
while test $i != 0; do
    sleep 30 &
    let i--
done
busybox top -b -n3 >/dev/null

on unpatched kernel:

top: 4120 processes took 102864 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 91757 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 92517 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 92581 microseconds to scan

on patched kernel:

top: 4120 processes took 75460 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 66451 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 67267 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 67618 microseconds to scan

The speedup comes from much faster generation of /proc/PID/stat
by sprintf() calls inside the kernel.

b39a734097 vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 1 (easy and obvious stuff)
* There is no point in having full "0...9a...z" constant vector,
  if we use only "0...9a...f" (and "x" for "0x").

* Post-decrement usually needs a few more instructions, so use
  pre decrement instead where makes sense:
-       while (i < precision--) {
+       while (i <= --precision) {

* if base != 10 (=> base 8 or 16), we can avoid using division
  in a loop and use mask/shift, obtaining much faster conversion.
  (More complex optimization for base 10 case is in the second patch).

Overall, size vsprintf.o shows ~80 bytes smaller text section
with this patch applied.

b2111217df isapnp: remove pointless check of 'type' against 0 in isapnp_read_tag()
In drivers/pnp/isapnp/core.c::isapnp_read_tag() there is a test of 'type'
being == 0 a bit down in the function.  That test doesn't make any sense.
If 'type' could indeed be NULL, then the test happens way too late as we'd
already have tried to dereference the pointer earlier and looking at the
callers it also turns out that there is no way type can ever actually be
NULL.

So the test is completely pointless and should just be removed.

1492192b4a kernel/printk.c: document possible deadlock against scheduler
kernel/printk.c: document possible deadlock against scheduler

The printk's comment states that it can be called from every context,
which might lead to false illusion that it could be called from everywhere
without any restrictions.

This is however not true - a call to printk() could deadlock if called from
scheduler code (namely from schedule(), wake_up(), etc) on runqueue lock
when it tries to wake up klogd. Document this.

Lots of serial drivers check and optimise for setting the termios values to

anyway.  Remove the checks on the serial drivers.  If we ever do need such
a check put it back in the tty layer instead _once_!

Now we always use stop_machine for module insertion or deletion, we no
longer need the modlist_lock: merely disabling preemption is sufficient to
block against list manipulation.  This avoids deadlock on OOPSen where we
can potentially grab the lock twice.
