990ec3804b bnx2: Fix jumbo frames error handling.
If errors are reported on a frame descriptor, we need to
account for the buffer pages that may have been used for this
error packet and recycle them.  Otherwise, we may get the wrong
pages for the next packet.

9970937273 net: don't use in_atomic() in gfp_any()
The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if
CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.  This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations
from spinlocked regions.

Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking
will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite.  Hence we won't get the
might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy
callsites.

Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt().  Now, if someone
runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning
if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little
brain and none of them documented their interface requirements.  I have no
idea what this patch will do.

The Power ISA 2.06 added power of two page sizes to the embedded MMU

and power of four page sizes.  Also added some new MAS bits and macros
that are defined as part of the 2.06 ISA.  Renamed some things to use
the 'Book-3e' concept to convey the new MMU that is based on the
Freescale Book-E MMU programming model.

Note, its still invalid to try and use a page size that isn't supported

d85cf93da6 x86/paravirt: make arch_flush_lazy_mmu/cpu disable preemption
Impact: avoid access to percpu vars in preempible context

They are intended to be used whenever there's the possibility
that there's some stale state which is going to be overwritten
with a queued update, or to force a state change when we may be
in lazy mode.  Either way, we could end up calling it with
preemption enabled, so wrap the functions in their own little
preempt-disable section so they can be safely called in any
context (though preemption should never be enabled if we're actually
in a lazy state).

(Move out of line to avoid #include dependencies.)

4008c04a07 Btrfs: make a lockdep class for the extent buffer locks
Btrfs is currently using spin_lock_nested with a nested value based
on the tree depth of the block.  But, this doesn't quite work because
the max tree depth is bigger than what spin_lock_nested can deal with,
and because locks are sometimes taken before the level field is filled in.

The solution here is to use lockdep_set_class_and_name instead, and to
set the class before unlocking the pages when the block is read from the
disk and just after init of a freshly allocated tree block.

btrfs_clear_path_blocking is also changed to take the locks in the proper
order, and it also makes sure all the locks currently held are properly
set to blocking before it tries to retake the spinlocks.  Otherwise, lockdep
gets upset about bad lock orderin.

The lockdep magic cam from Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

3a4c6800f3 Fix page writeback thinko, causing Berkeley DB slowdown
A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit
31a12666d8 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic
fix").  The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and
look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no
more work to be done.

But the !done condition was dropped from the test.  This means that any
time the page writeout loop breaks (eg.  due to nr_to_write == 0), we
will set index to 0, then goto again.  This will set done_index to
index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the
function.  When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout,
we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0.

This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to
start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and
caused bugzilla entry

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604

about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically.

With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly
5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).

Cleaning old snapshots can make sync(1) somewhat slow, and some users
and applications still use it in a global fsync kind of workload.

This patch changes btrfs not to clean old snapshots during sync, which is

makes it difficult to tell when old snapshots have been reaped and
the space they were using has been reclaimed.  A new ioctl will be added

Larger metadata clusters can significantly improve writeback performance
on ssd drives with large erasure blocks.  The larger clusters make it
more likely a given IO will completely overwrite the ssd block, so it

On spinning media, lager metadata clusters end up spreading out the
metadata more over time, which makes fsck slower, so we don't want this
to be the default.

eb09967089 Btrfs: make sure all pending extent operations are complete
Theres a slight problem with finish_current_insert, if we set all to 1 and then
go through and don't actually skip any of the extents on the pending list, we
could exit right after we've added new extents.

This is a problem because by inserting the new extents we could have gotten new
COW's to happen and such, so we may have some pending updates to do or even
more inserts to do after that.

So this patch will only exit if we have never skipped any of the extents in the
pending list, and we have no extents to insert, this will make sure that all of
the pending work is truly done before we return.  I've been running with this
patch for a few days with all of my other testing and have not seen issues.

reserve_pfn_range() is not tracking the memory range below 1MB

Rename the pagerange_is_ram() to pat_pagerange_is_ram() and add the

range is RAM. This is to be consistent with this API design.

The CPA code may be called while we're in lazy mmu update mode - for
example, when using DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC and doing a slab allocation
in an interrupt handler which interrupted a lazy mmu update.  In this
case, the in-memory pagetable state may be out of date due to pending
queued updates.  We need to flush any pending updates before inspecting
the page table.  Similarly, we must explicitly flush any modifications
CPA may have made (which comes down to flushing queued operations when
flushing the TLB).

client/server connection fails, any additional I/Os that get queued later
will hang.

This bug may also be the problem reported in this bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12277

Testing would need to be performed to determine if the two issues are the
same.

This problem was introduced by the new request handling thread code ("NBD:
allow nbd to be used locally", 3/2008), which entered into mainline around
2.6.25.

The fix, which is fairly simple, is to restore the check for lo->sock
being NULL in do_nbd_request.  This causes I/O to an uninitialized nbd to
immediately fail with an I/O error, as it did prior to the introduction of
this bug.

9480c53e9b mm: rearrange exit_mmap() to unlock before arch_exit_mmap
Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]:

> Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU.
> Seems like Xen tears down current->mm early on process termination, so
> that __get_user_pages in exit_mmap causes nasty messages when the
> process had any mlocked pages.  (in fact, it somehow manages to get into
> the swapping code and produces a null pointer dereference trying to get
> a swap token)

Jeremy explained:

Yes.  In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned",
meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall
(or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing).  An
unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be
directly accessed as normal RW pages.

As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early
as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal
pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses.

This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap().  The munlocking happens
a few lines below.  The obvious thing to do would be to move
arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to
call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side.

Thus, this patch:

exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap,
as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the
former to fail.

3abdbf90a3 parport: parport_serial, don't bind netmos ibm 0299
Since netmos 9835 with subids 0x1014(IBM):0x0299 is now bound with
serial/8250_pci, because it has no parallel ports and subdevice id isn't
in the expected form, return -ENODEV from probe function.

This is performed in netmos preinit_hook.

89e1219004 writeback: fix break condition
Commit dcf6a79dda ("write-back: fix
nr_to_write counter") fixed nr_to_write counter, but didn't set the break
condition properly.

If nr_to_write == 0 after being decremented it will loop one more time
before setting done = 1 and breaking the loop.

6c5979631b syscall define: fix uml compile bug
With the new system call defines we get this on uml:

arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table':
(.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask'

Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option
-Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel.
This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system
call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask.  However sys_sigprocmask is missing
because of this.

To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the
name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.
This was pointed out by Al Viro.
