2.6.9-rc1 long-format changelog


Summary of changes from v2.6.8 to v2.6.9-rc1
============================================

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[netdrvr epic100] minor cleanups
	
	- extra pci_disable_device() to balance invocation of pci_enable_device()
	  in epic_init_one() (-> error path + epic_remove_one());
	- lazy return status in epic_init_one(), tsss...;
	- memory dedicated to Rx descriptors was not freed after failure of
	  register_netdev() in epic_init_one();
	- use of epic_pause() in epic_close() offers a small window for a late
	  interruption just before the final free_irq(). Let's close the window to
	  avoid two epic_rx() threads racing with each other.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[netdrvr epic100] napi 1/3 - just shuffle some code around
	
	Isolate the classical TX part of epic_interrupt. Innocent code shuffling.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[netdrvr epic100] napi 2/3 - receive path

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[netdrvr epic100] napi 3/3 - transmit path

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[netdrvr epic100] napi fixes
	
	Multiple invocation of __netif_rx_schedule() in epic_interrupt() while
	epic_poll loops over __netif_rx_complete() leads to serious device
	refcount leak.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] epic100: spin_unlock_irqrestore avoidance
	
	This patch avoids to duplicate a spin_unlock:
	- it is mostly an artifact due to wild goto;
	- it makes the generated code smaller.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] epic100: code removal in irq handler
	
	The loop in the irq handler is not needed any more as the high frequency
	events have been deferred due to napi usage.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
	[MMC] Add MMC core support
	
	This patch adds core support to the Linux kernel for driving MMC
	interfaces found on embedded devices, such as found in the Intel
	PXA and ARM MMCI primecell.  This patch does _not_ add support
	for SD or SDIO cards.
	                                                                                
	It is vaguely based upon the handhelds.org MMC code, but the bulk
	of the core has been rewritten from scratch.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
	[MMC] Add Kconfig/Makefile changes for MMC support.
	
	Since this is currently ARM-only, I've dropped the drivers/Kconfig
	change for the time being.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
	[MMC] Add ARM MMCI Primecell driver.
	
	This patch adds initial support for the ARM MMCI Primecell - one of
	the drivers for a MMC interface.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
	[MMC] Add PXA MMC interface support.
	
	This patch adds support for the Intel PXA MCI interface.

<len.brown@intel.com>
	[ACPI] ACPICA 20040402 from Bob Moore
	
	Fixed an interpreter problem where an indirect store through an
	ArgX parameter was incorrectly applying the "implicit conversion
	rules" during the store.  From the ACPI specification: "If the
	target is a method local or argument (LocalX or ArgX), no
	conversion is performed and the result is stored directly to the
	target".  The new behavior is to disable implicit conversion
	during ALL stores to an ArgX.
	
	Changed the behavior of the _PRW method scan to ignore any and
	all errors returned by a given _PRW.  This prevents the scan from
	aborting from the failure of any single _PRW.
	
	Moved the runtime configuration parameters from the global init
	procedure to static variables in acglobal.h.  This will allow the
	host to override the default values easily.

<len.brown@intel.com>
	[ACPI] ACPICA 20040427 from Bob Moore
	
	Completed a major overhaul of the GPE handling within ACPI CA.
	There are now three types of GPEs:
	wake-only; runtime-only; combination wake/run.
	
	The only GPEs allowed to be combination wake/run are for
	button-style devices such as a control-method power button,
	control-method sleep button, or a notebook lid switch.
	GPEs that have an _Lxx or _Exx method and are not referenced
	by any _PRW methods are marked for "runtime" and hardware enabled.
	
	Any GPE that is referenced by a _PRW method is marked for "wake"
	(and disabled at runtime).  However, at sleep time, only those
	GPEs that have been specifically enabled for wake via the
	acpi_enable_gpe() interface will actually be hardware enabled.
	
	A new external interface has been added, acpi_set_gpe_type()
	that is meant to be used by device drivers to force a GPE
	to a particular type.  It will be especially useful for the
	drivers for the button devices mentioned above.
	
	Completed restructuring of the ACPI CA initialization sequence
	so that default operation region handlers are installed
	before GPEs are initialized and the _PRW methods are executed.
	This will prevent errors when the _PRW methods attempt to
	access system memory or I/O space.
	
	GPE enable/disable no longer reads the GPE enable register.
	We now keep the enable info for runtime and wake separate
	and in the GPE_EVENT_INFO.  We thus no longer depend on
	the hardware to maintain these bits.
	
	Always clear the wake status and fixed/GPE status bits
	before sleep, even for state S5.
	
	Improved the AML debugger output for displaying the
	GPE blocks and their current status.
	
	Added new strings for the _OSI method, of the form
	"Windows 2001 SPx" where x = 0,1,2,3,4.
	
	Fixed a problem where the physical address was incorrectly
	calculated when the Load() operator was used to directly
	load from an Operation Region (vs. loading from a Field object.)
	Also added check for minimum table length for this case.
	
	Fix for multiple mutex acquisition.  Restore original thread
	SyncLevel on mutex release.
	
	Added ACPI_VALID_SXDS flag to the acpi_get_object_info interface
	for consistency with the other fields returned.
	
	Shrunk the ACPI_GPE_EVENT_INFO structure by 40%.
	There is one such structure for each GPE in the system,
	so the size of this structure is important.
	
	CPU stack requirement reduction:
	Cleaned up the method execution and object evaluation paths
	so that now a parameter structure is passed, instead of copying
	the various method parameters over and over again.
	
	In evregion.c:
	Correctly exit and reenter the interpreter region if and only
	if dispatching an operation region request to a user-installed
	handler. Do not exit/reenter when dispatching to a default
	handler (e.g., default system memory or I/O handlers)

	[PATCH] r8169: napi support
	
	Napi for r8169 (Jon D Mason <jonmason@us.ibm.com>).
	Both Tx and Rx processing are moved to the ->poll() function.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] r8169: cosmetic renaming of a register
	
	RxUnderrun status bit renamed to LinkChg (identical to the 8139cp driver).

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] r8169: janitoring
	
	Spring cleanup
	- unsigned int (u32) should be slightly faster on ppc64 (Jon D Mason);
	- misc minor de-uglyfication.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] r8169: ethtool .set_settings
	
	ethtool set_settings support (Andy Lutomirski <luto@myrealbox.com>).
	The initial code has been modified so that the settings of parameters
	for TBI and normal mode do not step on each others shoes.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] r8169: ethtool .get_{settings/link}
	
	- ethtool get_settings() for r8169 (Andy Lutomirski <luto@myrealbox.com>);
	- rtl8169_ethtool_ops.get_drvinfo() is set as well;
	- added some bits to handle the TBI status.
	
	The locking does not need to be specially clever.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
	[MMC] Fix PXA MMC interface issues.
	
	- Wait for STAT_CLK_EN to clear rather than waiting for the CLK_IS_OFF
	  interrupt when stopping the MMC clock.
	- Always return the number of data blocks transferred no matter what.
	- Set the device driver data correctly.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] r8169: link handling and phy reset rework
	
	Link handling changes (Andy Lutomirski <luto@myrealbox.com>):
	- removed rtl8169_hw_phy_reset() and its busy loop;
	- RTL8169_PHY_TIMEOUT is x10 to account for the removal of the
	  phy_link_down_cnt loop in rtl8169_phy_timer();
	- added spinlocking in timer context for rtl8169_phy_timer to avoid
	  messing with the {set/get}_settings commands issued via ethtool;
	- more TBI stuff.
	
	This patch differs from the former version on the following points:
	- the LinkChg irq does not enable the phy timer when the link goes
	  down any more;
	- the phy timer is not enabled in rtl8169_set_speed();
	- removal of the initial renegotiation hack.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] r8169: initial link setup rework
	
	Use rtl8169_set_speed() for link setup in rtl8169_init_one():
	- the code which handles the option checking is isolated;
	- display (once) a notice message about the deprecated interface;
	- rtl8169_open() enables the phy timer if the link is not up;
	- rtl8169_set_speed() checks that the netdevice is actually ready
	  in order to activate the timer.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] r8169: gcc bug workaround
	
	Add a temporary variable to workaround gcc 2.95.3 bug.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] r8169: tx lock removal
	
	spinlock removal crusade.
	
	The patch rephrases the spinlock_irq() in rtl8169_start_xmit() and its
	companion in the Tx irq handling patch in terms of ordered operations.

<scott.feldman@intel.com>
	[PATCH] e100: use NAPI mode all the time
	
	I see no reason to keep the non-NAPI option for e100.  This patch removes
	the CONFIG_E100_NAPI option and puts the driver in NAPI mode all the time.
	Matches the way tg3 works.
	
	Unless someone has a really good reason to keep the non-NAPI mode, this
	should go in for 2.6.7.
	
	-scott

	[CPUFREQ] new Dothan variant for speedstep-centrino

	[PATCH] via-velocity: PCI ID move
	
	(Note: this serie requires a -mm based kernel as the via-velocity patches
	are not included in Jeff's -netdev patches).
	
	
	
	PCI ID moved from the driver to the kernel database. A change for the
	pci.ids file project at souceforge has been submitted as well.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] via-velocity: uniformize use of OWNED_BY_NIC
	
	Introduce velocity_give_rx_desc() to uniformize the use of OWNED_BY_NIC
	through the driver.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] via-velocity: velocity_receive_frame diets
	
	Weight loss in velocity_receive_frame():
	- isolate the ip header alignment tsk from velocity_receive_frame();
	- following p.30 of the datasheet, rdesc0.len includes the CRC length:
	  the amount of data copied during the ip alignment can be shortened.

<akpm@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] fix via-velocity oopses
	
	- Don't register the inet_addr notifier if the hardware is absent.  It
	  oopses when other interfaces are being upped.
	
	- Mark velocity_remove1() as __devexit_p in the pci_driver table.
	
	- c99ification.

<rl@hellgate.ch>
	[PATCH] Restructure reset code
	
	Restructure code to make it easier to maintain.
	
	rhine_hw_init: resets chip, reloads eeprom
	rhine_chip_reset: chip reset + what used to be wait_for_reset
	rhine_reload_eeprom: reload eeprom, re-enable MMIO, disable EEPROM-controlled
		WOL
	
	Note: Chip reset clears a bunch of registers that should be reloaded
	from EEPROM (which turns off MMIO). Deal with that later.

	[PATCH] fix mc_filter on big-endian arch
	
	A.J. from VIA Networking Technologies noticed that via-rhine is using
	cpu_to_le32() when preparing mc_filter hashes. This breaks Rhine hardware
	multicast filters on big-endian architectures.

<rl@hellgate.ch>
	[PATCH] Remove lingering PHY special casing
	
	All this code is broken (e.g. unconditionally programs all PHYs as if
	they were the same model) and/or unused (IntrLinkChange never occurs
	with driver as is).
	
	Signed-off-by: Roger Luethi <rl@hellgate.ch>

<rl@hellgate.ch>
	[PATCH] Rewrite PHY detection
	
	Instead of probing, set phy_id to 1 for Rhine III and read phy_id from
	EEPROM-controlled register for Rhine I/II.
	
	Remove code for handling anything other than 1 MII PHY. If it wasn't
	unnecessary code to begin with, it would need to be fixed because it
	wouldn't work.
	
	Use mii_if_info.phy_id as the only container of phy_id. Not particulary
	happy about those names (phy_id vs. MII_PHYSIDx), but being consequent
	about it mitigates confusion.
	
	Signed-off-by: Roger Luethi <rl@hellgate.ch>

<rl@hellgate.ch>
	[PATCH] Remove options, full_duplex parameters
	
	Nobody complained although media locking parameters were broken
	forever. They were sort of fixed recently, but the code is still in a
	bad shape.
	
	More seriously, the options/full_duplex stuff has fundamental design
	problems that have been discussed in-depth on the list (e.g. effect of
	hotplugging, nameif, suspend/resume).
	
	For those needing media locking with Linux 2.6+ via-rhine, ethtool(8)
	is the replacement.

<rl@hellgate.ch>
	[PATCH] Fix Tx engine race for good
	
	It finally dawned on me how to eliminate the race I've been narrowing
	down with earlier patches: Instead of writing the command registers as
	one word, write them one at a time (as bytes). The race was for settings
	bits in ChipCmd and ChipCmd1 (0x09) against the chip clearing CmdTxOn
	which is in ChipCmd.
	
	In addition to writing single bytes, the fix requires a switch from
	using bit 5 in ChipCmd0 to bit 5 in ChipCmd1 (which is equivalent)
	to signal Tx demand.
	
	Also, don't restart Rx engine "pre-emptively" in rhine_rx, that's a
	sure way to race with the chip.
	
	Introduce RHINE_WAIT_FOR, a macro for small busy loops with primitive
	completion checking.

<rl@hellgate.ch>
	[PATCH] Media mode rewrite
	
	Remove rhine_check_duplex, rhine_timer and related data structures
	
	Add rhine_check_media: wrapper for generic mii_check_media, sets duplex
	bit in MAC
	
	Add rhine_enable_linkmon, rhine_disable_linkmon to enable hardware link
	status monitoring
	
	Update mdio_read, mdio_write accordingly
	
	Remove get_intr_status check in rhine_start_tx because we are not racing
	anymore

<rl@hellgate.ch>
	[PATCH] Small fixes and clean-up
	
	Bump driver version to mark recent major changes in driver code.
	
	Remove backoff parameter. The reason it was once introduced is gone.
	Continue to go with EEPROM default for now, will hard-wire IEEE backoff
	algorithm instead (later).
	
	Rhine-I needs extra time to recuperate from chip reset before EEPROM
	reload.
	
	Add Rhine model identification.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] via-velocity: Rx buffers allocation rework
	
	Rework of the Rx buffers allocation:
	- Rx irq handler (velocity_rx_srv): defer the Rx buffer allocation until
	  the packet processing loop is done;
	- a separate index related to the Rx descriptor ("rd_dirty") is introduced
	  to distinguish the first Rx descriptor whose buffer has to be refilled.
	  This way the driver does not need to confuse this descriptor with the
	  most recently netif()ed one. Rationale: batch + rx_copybreak;
	- dirty/empty Rx descriptors are identified through the whole driver
	  via an adequate NULL pointer in the velocity_rd_info[] array (see
	  velocity_rx_refill() and velocity_receive_frame());
	- Rx descriptors need to be grouped by a multiple of 4 before they can
	  be handed back to the asic (hardware constraint). This task is moved
	  from the Rx processing loop to the Rx refill function;
	- factorization of code in velocity_init_rd_ring().

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] via-velocity: Rx copybreak
	
	Handle copybreak.
	- velocity_rx_refill() is modified to allow the processing of a Rx desc
	  ring wherein the empty skb slots are not necessarily contiguous. Given
	  the preceeding changes, rx_copybreak should not need anything else;
	- the driver does not rely on rd_info->skb_dma set to NULL any more;
	- pci_dma_sync_single_for_{cpu/device} changes as a bonus;
	- more function documentation.
	
	Some inspiration borrowed from similar r8169 code.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] via-velocity: ordering of Rx descriptors operations
	
	Force strict ordering of operations on Rx descriptors to avoid any issue
	related to inline optimization.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[PATCH] via-velocity: unneeded forward declarations
	
	Removal of unneeded forward declarations.

<akpm@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] via-velocity warning fixes
	
	With CONFIG_PM=n various functions (such as velocity_set_wol) are unused
	and we get warnings and unused code.
	
	Fix that up by moving the functions so they fall inside the callers's #ifdef
	CONFIG_PM.
	
	Remove now-unneeded forward declarations.

	[ACPI] ACPICA 20040514 from Bob Moore
	
	Fixed a problem where hardware GPE enable bits sometimes
	not set properly during and after GPE method execution.
	Result of ACPICA 20040427 changes.
	
	Removed extra "clear all GPEs" when sleeping/waking.
	
	Removed acpi_ht_enable_gpe and acpi_hw_disable_gpe, replaced
	by the single acpi_hw_write_gpe_enable_reg. Changed a couple
	of calls to the functions above to the new acpi_ev* calls
	as appropriate.
	
	ACPI_OS_NAME was removed from the OS-specific headers.
	The default name is now "Microsoft Windows NT" for maximum
	compatibility. However this can be changed by modifying
	the acconfig.h file.  Fixes EHCI probe issue:
	http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1762
	
	Allow a single invocation of acpi_install_notify_handler
	for a handler that traps both types of notifies (System,
	Device). Use ACPI_ALL_NOTIFY flag.
	
	Run _INI methods on ThermalZone objects. This is against
	the ACPI specification, but there is apparently ASL code
	in the field that has these _INI methods, and apparently
	"other" AML interpreters execute them.
	
	Performed a full 16/32/64 bit lint that resulted in some
	small changes.

<len.brown@intel.com>
	[ACPI] ACPICA 20040527 from Bob Moore
	
	Completed a new design and implementation for EBDA
	(Extended BIOS Data Area) support in the RSDP scan code.
	The original code improperly scanned for the EBDA by simply
	scanning from memory location 0 to 0x400.  The correct
	method is to first obtain the EBDA pointer from within
	the BIOS data area, then scan 1K of memory starting at the
	EBDA pointer.  There appear to be few if any machines that
	place the RSDP in the EBDA, however.
	http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2415
	
	Integrated a fix for a possible fault during evaluation
	of BufferField arguments.  Obsolete code that was causing
	the problem was removed. (Asus laptop boot crash)
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121760
	
	Found and fixed a problem in the Field Support Code
	where data could be corrupted on a bit field read that
	starts on an aligned boundary but does not end on an
	aligned boundary.  Merged the read/write "datum length"
	calculation code into a common procedure.

<len.brown@intel.com>
	[ACPI] ACPICA 20040615 from Bob Moore
	
	Implemented support for Buffer and String objects (as
	per ACPI 2.0) for the following ASL operators: LEqual,
	LGreater, LLess, LGreaterEqual, and LLessEqual.

	Add MWDMA support, and rework pio/mwdma/udma mode setup.
	
	In the lone test case for PATA support, ata_piix, MWDMA mode setting
	does not appear to work here.  UDMA and PIO continue to work, so nobody
	will really notice.  But beware.  Probably a driver problem, not
	a bug in the core.
	
	Also, doesn't bother writing to dummy timing registers on ICH5/6 SATA
	anymore.

	[libata] pio/dma flag bug fix, and cleanup
	
	In the transfer-mode cleanup recently, the code that set flag

	Always set polling in the ->qc_issue function, rather than force

	[ACPI] ACPICA 20040715 from Bob Moore
	
	Restructured the internal HW GPE interfaces to pass/track
	the current state of interrupts (enabled/disabled) in
	order to avoid possible deadlock and increase flexibility
	of the interfaces.
	
	Implemented a "lexicographical compare" for String and
	Buffer objects within the logical operators -- LGreater,
	LLess, LGreaterEqual, and LLessEqual -- as per further
	clarification to the ACPI specification.  Behavior is
	similar to C library "strcmp".
	
	Completed a major reduction in CPU stack use for the
	acpi_get_firmware_table external function.  In the 32-bit
	non-debug case, the stack use has been reduced from 168
	bytes to 32 bytes.
	
	Deployed a new run-time configuration flag,
	acpi_gbl_enable_interpeter_slack, whose purpose is to allow
	the AML interpreter to forgive certain bad AML constructs.
	Default setting is FALSE.
	
	Implemented the first use of acpi_gbl_enable_interpeter_slack
	in the Field IO support code.  If enabled, it allows field
	access to go beyond the end of a region definition if the
	field is within the region length rounded up to the next
	access width boundary (a common coding error.)
	
	Renamed OSD_HANDLER to acpi_osd_handler, and
	OSD_EXECUTION_CALLBACK to acpi_osd_exec_callback for
	consistency with other ACPI symbols.  Also, these symbols
	are lowercased by the latest version of the acpisrc tool.
	
	The prototypes for the PCI interfaces in acpiosxf.h
	have been updated to rename "register" to simply "reg"
	to prevent certain compilers from complaining.

	[PATCH] orinoco merge preliminaries - rearrange code
	
	Rearrange functions in the orinoco driver in a more logical order.
	This patch is large and looks complicated, but in fact only moves code
	around (within or between files) without changing it.  The only
	exceptions are some extra comments describing the file's layout, and
	updated prototypes for the new function order.
	
	This makes the order of functions match the 0.15rc1 version, so later

	[PATCH] USB: Make removable-LUN support a non-test option in the g_file_storage driver
	
	This patch follows the suggestions sent by Todd Fischer and Diego Dompe

	the g_file_storage driver.  It also moves LUN device registration to the
	correct place and eliminates a code path that stalls the bulk-out pipe in
	a racy way.
	
	There are also some smaller changes: update some comments, add initial
	debugging support for USB suspend/resume, and miscellaneous code cleanups.
	Last but not least, the driver has been sufficiently stable for
	sufficiently long that it's fair to remove the "(DEVELOPMENT)" warning in
	Kconfig.

	[PATCH] USB: add CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND
	
	This is the core of the USB_SUSPEND functionality.  Please merge.
	
	This adds an experimental CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND option, which supports the
	USB "suspend" state.  Linux-USB hosts have previously ignored that state.
	
	    -	New driver API calls, usb_suspend_device() and its
		sibling usb_resume_device().
	
	    -	Access to those calls through sysfs, such as
			echo -n 2 > power/state
			echo -n 0 > power/state
	
	That can be used to reduce the power consumption of any given USB device,
	then re-activate it later.  Eventually, most USB device drivers should
	probably suspend idle USB devices.
	
	One problem with this patch:  USB drivers without suspend() callbacks
	may badly misbehave.  Right now only hub drivers know suspend().  If the
	driver core didn't self-deadlock when we try it, unbinding those drivers
	from those devices (then re-enumerating on resume) would be perfect...
	the current compromise is just to emit a warning message.
	
	In conjunction with host controller driver support (already merged for
	OHCI and EHCI), PCI host controllers will issue the PME# wakeup signal
	when a USB keyboard starts remote wakeup signaling.  (But the keyboard
	wasn't usable later, since HID doesn't try to suspend.)
	
	I understand some ACPI patches are circulating, and maybe already in
	the MM tree, to make a suspended system wake up given PME# signaling.
	It'd be great if someone made that work transparently with USB, but
	for now I'm told it'll need some sysfs setup first.

	[CPUFREQ] speedstep-ich SMT support.
	i have noticed that the most recent vanilla kernel oopses on a P4M-HT
	(because only one CPU is registered in sysfs but 2 are informed of a
	change of state). also there are some returns out of subroutines before
	set_cpus_allowed() is performed to restore the mask prior to entering
	the subroutine (this should not matter on uniprocessor systems, but
	still...).
	                                                                               
	this patch should fix these 2 issues. for the first one, it registers
	all logical cpu's and a tiny modification is made in cpufreq.c to
	perform a policy change on all siblings.

	[CPUFREQ] fix HT oops on speedstep-ich system
	
	Bugfix for #3012 @ http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3012
	
	The speedstep-ich driver only registers for CPU0 (which is a sane thing to
	do). However, cpufreq_notify_transition() currently assumes the CPU
	specified in the freqs.cpu parameter has actually been registered with the
	CPUfreq core. This is obviously not the case for HT speedstep-ich CPUs,
	causing an OOPS. The long-term solution will be to merge the "cpufreq
	CPU group awareness patches" already RFC'ed to this list; but they still

	[PATCH] USB Storage: fix Genesys Logic based on info from vendor
	
	In theory, this is the fix we need to make Genesys Logic devices work.
	This patch started life as as343, which was created based on some
	information which a user finally coaxed out of Genesys Logic.  Limited
	end-user testing gives good results.
	
	As we expected, it's a bug in their device.  This is really a workaround
	for what is almost certainly a timing problem.  Apparently, the 'popular'
	OSes don't push the device as hard as Linux does.
	
	Although it is likely that this workaround is not needed for all Genesys
	devices, Genesys was unable/unwilling to provide us with the explicit list
	of VID/PIDs which required this -- thus we apply it to all Genesys devices.
	
	We have lots of good reports with max_sectors set to 128 with these
	devices, but the official recommendation is to set that to 64.  End-users
	can experiment with higher values (for higher performance) via the runtime
	sysfs interface to that parameter.
	
	I would like to give special thanks to the users who hounded Genesys into
	giving up this information, and to Alan Stern for not giving up on this
	vendor long after I had.

	[ACPI] restore PCI Interrupt Link Devices upon resume
	
	* register as as a sys_device so that we can get resume callbacks and restore
	  interrupt routing state.
	* add acpi_pci_link_resume(), which will be called when resuming from a suspend
	  state that needs IRQ routing to be restored. This fixes issues reported on
	  the mailing lists, e.g.:
	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=acpi4linux&m=10914299...
	* rename setonboot --> initialized
	* change to test acpi_noirq in init
	
	We want to initialize everything on S3 resume in case the BIOS points an
	interrupt link somewhere we didn't expect. (Doing so avoids "missing interrupt"
	or "irq x: nobody cared" problems.) According to Len, past experience has shown
	that it's a good idea to initialize only devices that exist or were explicitly
	asked for, so we try to initialize only the IRQ's that were previously
	initialized at some point before suspend, by checking the "initialized" flag.
	This corresponds to links that have PCI devices attached.  Everything else, we
	leave alone. Assuming the BIOS does the same thing on resume that it did on
	boot, this will leave all the unused links in the same state that they were on
	boot.
	
	We are registered as a sysdev in order to do this work fairly early during
	resume, before devices are resumed; some devices may not call
	pci_device_enable.

	[PATCH] I2C: algorithm and bus driver for PCA9564
	
	Attached is a driver for the PCA9564 "Parallel to I2C" chip, it is
	similar in principle to the PCF8584 which is supported by the
	i2c-algo-pcf and i2c-elektor code, however it's not code compatible in
	any way: http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/pip/PCA9564PW.html
	
	The patch contains the PCA algorithm driver and a bus driver for an ISA
	card. It only supports master send and receive but I'm not sure that the
	Linux i2c stack supports client side operation anyhow, and I have no
	hardware to test on.
	
	It was tested on a PC104 card containing the PCA chip and an Atmel TPM
	device and also on a separate PC104 card with a DS1307 RTC hotwired onto
	it for testing purposes.
	
	The driver is against a 2.6 BK tree pulled on Friday. I also have a
	fairly trivial 2.4 backport if that is of interest.

	[PATCH] USB: add <linux/usb_otg.h>
	
	Hardware implementing USB-OTG needs to use an OTG controller and/or
	transceiver driver to switch the Mini-AB connector between the host
	and peripheral side controller drivers (and the USB device role
	supported by that driver).
	
	This patch adds a simple "otg_transceiver" interface that can abstract
	implementation details for that port, as needed for some upcoming patches:
	
	    - Neither host nor peripheral controller drivers need to know about
	      how the OTG controller is implemented.  Example: is the transceiver
	      internal?  If not, which external chip?
	
	    - The OTG controller doesn't need to know if the Host Controller
	      is OHCI, EHCI, or something custom ... all it knows is that the
	      HCD looks like a "usb_bus".
	
	    - In the same way, the peripheral controller is just a "usb_gadget".
	
	One implementation of this will be posted soon; the interface is by
	no means cast in stone, other implementations may need to morph this
	interface a bit.

	While all ACPI stuff is deselected, and PCI access mode is set to "Any",
	CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT is going to be set because of CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG.

	kbuild: Separate out host-progs handling
	
	Concentrating all host-progs functionality in one file made a more
	readable Makefile.lib - and allow for potential reuse of host-progs
	functionality.

	kbuild: Introduce hostprogs-y, deprecate host-progs
	
	Introducing hostprogs-y allows a user to use the typical Kbuild
	pattern in a Kbuild file:
	hostprogs-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ...
	
	And then during cleaning the referenced file are still deleted.
	Deprecate the old host-progs assignment but kept the functionlity.
	
	External modules will continue to use host-progs for a while - drawback is
	that they now see a warning.
	Workaround - just assign both variables:
	hostprogs-y := foo
	host-progs  := $(hostprogs-y)
	
	All in-kernel users will be converted in next patch.

	kbuild: Use POSIX headers for ntoh functions
	
	From: Benno <benjl@cse.unsw.edu.au>
	When compiling Linux on Mac OSX I had trouble with scripts/sumversion.c.
	It includes <netinet/in.h> to obtain to definitions of htonl and ntohl.
	
	On Mac OSX these are found in <arpa/inet.h>. After checking the POSIX
	specification it appears that this is the correct place to get
	the definitons for these functions.
	
	(http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/h...)
	
	Using this header also appears to work on Linux (at least with
	Glibc-2.3.2).
	
	It seems clearer to me to go with the POSIX standard than implementing
	#if __APPLE__ style macros, but if such an approach is preferred I can
	supply patches for that instead.

	kbuild: __crc_* symbols in System.map
	
	David S. Miller <davem@redhat.com> wrote:
	Shouldn't we be grepping __crc_ symbols out of the System.map file?
	
	For one thing, these can confuse readprofile.  It's algorithm is
	to start at _stext, then stop when it sees a line in the System.map
	which is not text (mode is one of 'T' 't' 'W' or 'w')
	
	It will exit early if there are some intermixed __crc_* things in
	there (since they are are mode 'A').
	
	For example, in my current sparc64 kernel I have this:
	
	00000000004cef80 t do_split
	00000000004cf2a0 t add_dirent_to_buf
	00000000004cf5a7 A __crc_init_special_inode
	00000000004cf640 t make_indexed_dir
	00000000004cf900 t ext3_add_entry
	
	So no symbols after add_dirent_to_buf will be shown in the profiling
	output of readprofile.
	
	Implementation ported to mksysmap by Sam.
	Included two System.map related fixes:
	- Print "SYSMAP  System.map" during build
	- Sort symbols in System.map

	kbuild: Bogus "has no CRC" in external module builds
	
	From: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
	The recent fixes for the external module build have fixed the major
	breakage, but they left one annoyance unfixed.  If CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is
	disabled, a warning is printed for every exported symbol that is has no
	CRC.  For instance, I see this when compiling the standalone Orinoco
	driver on Linux 2.6.6-rc3:
	
	*** Warning: "__orinoco_down" [/usr/local/src/orinoco/spectrum_cs.ko] has
	no CRC!
	*** Warning: "hermes_struct_init" [/usr/local/src/orinoco/spectrum_cs.ko]
	has no CRC!
	*** Warning: "free_orinocodev" [/usr/local/src/orinoco/spectrum_cs.ko] has
	no CRC!
	[further warnings skipped]
	
	I have found that the "-i" option for modpost is used for external builds,
	whereas the internal modules use "-o".  The "-i" option causes read_dump()
	in modpost.c to be called.  This function sets "modversions" variable
	under some conditions that I don't understand.  The comment before the
	modversions declarations says: "Are we using CONFIG_MODVERSIONS?"
	
	Apparently modpost fails to answer this question.  I think it's better to
	use an explicit option rather than a kludge.
	
	The attached patch adds a new option "-m" that is specified if and only if
	CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is enabled.  The patch has been successfully tested
	both with and without CONFIG_MODVERSIONS.

	kconfig/all archs: Introduce Kconfig.debug
	
	Localize Kconfig debug options into one file (lib/Kconfig.debug)
	for easier maintenance, searching, and menu-building.
	
	Updated to 2.6.8.
	
	Summary of changes:
	
	. localizes the following symbols in lib/Kconfig.debug:
	    DEBUG_KERNEL, MAGIC_SYSRQ, DEBUG_SLAB, DEBUG_SPINLOCK,
	    DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP, DEBUG_HIGHMEM, DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE,
	    DEBUG_INFO
	  and FRAME_POINTER for some instances of it (if it's freely
	  user-selectable) but not for the cases where it's forced or
	  it depends on some other options.
	. adds DEBUG_KERNEL requirement to some DEBUG_vars;
	. remove KALLSYMS from S390-specific kernel hacking menu;
	  use KALLSYMS in the EMBEDDED menu instead;
	. add CRIS and M68KNOMMU symbols for use in lib/Kconfig.debug;
	. eliminate duplicate "General setup" labels in sparc64 config;
	. whitespace cleanup;
	. fixed a few trival typos;

	[IPSEC]: Move encap check back down to esp4.c
	
	In a previous, I moved the encap_type checks in esp4.c from the packet
	processing path to xfrm_user/af_key.  This isn't ideal since those encap
	types only make sense for esp4.
	
	The following patch moves it back into esp4.c.  The difference is
	that it's now done in init_state so that it's only done once rather
	than per-packet.
	
	I've also added encap_type checks for every transform.  This means
	that people attaching encap objects to AH/IPCOMP/IPIP will now get
	errors.  That should be fine as no major KM does this.
	
	Please note that the error returned is now EINVAL instead of
	ENOPROTOOPT.  This shouldn't break anything since KMs only test
	the errno from setsockopt() for NAT-T support rather than add_sa
	where it would be too late anyway.

	[PATCH] context-switching overhead in X, ioport()
	
	while debugging/improving scheduling latencies i got the following
	strange latency report from Lee Revell:
	
	  http://krustophenia.net/testresults.php?dataset=2.6.8.1-P...
	
	this trace shows a 120 usec latency caused by XFree86, on a 600 MHz x86
	system. Looking closer reveals:
	
	  00000002 0.006ms (+0.003ms): __switch_to (schedule)
	  00000002 0.088ms (+0.082ms): finish_task_switch (schedule)
	
	it took more than 80 usecs for XFree86 to do a context-switch!
	
	it turns out that the reason for this (massive) context-switching
	overhead is the following change in 2.6.8:
	
	      [PATCH] larger IO bitmaps
	
	To demonstrate the effect of this change i've written ioperm-latency.c
	(attached), which gives the following on vanilla 2.6.8.1:

	the ChangeSet says:
	
	        Now, with the lazy bitmap allocation and per-CPU TSS, this
	        will really not drain any resources I think.
	
	this is plain wrong. An increase in the IO bitmap size introduces
	per-context-switch overhead as well: we now have to copy an 8K bitmap
	every time XFree86 context-switches - even though XFree86 never uses
	ports higher than 1024! I've straced XFree86 on a number of x86 systems
	and in every instance ioperm() was used - so i'd say the majority of x86
	Linux systems running 2.6.8.1 are affected by this problem.
	
	This not only causes lots of overhead, it also trashes ~16K out of the
	L1 and L2 caches, on every context-switch. It's as if XFree86 did a L1
	cache flush on every context-switch ...
	
	the simple solution would be to revert IO_BITMAP_BITS back to 1024 and
	release 2.6.8.2?
	
	I've implemented another solution as well, which tracks the
	highest-enabled port # for every task and does the copying of the bitmap
	intelligently. (patch attached) The patched kernel gives:
	
	  # ./ioperm-latency
	  default no ioperm:             scheduling latency: 2423 cycles
	  turning on port 80 ioperm:     scheduling latency: 2503 cycles
	  turning on port 65535 ioperm:  scheduling latency: 10607 cycles
	
	this is much more acceptable - the full overhead only occurs in the very
	unlikely event of a task using the high ioport range. X doesnt suffer
	any significant overhead.
	
	(tracking the maximum allowed port # also allows a simplification of
	io_bitmap handling: e.g. we dont do the invalid-offset trick anymore -
	the IO bitmap in the TSS is always valid and secure.)
	
	I tested the patch on x86 SMP and UP, it works fine for me. I tested
	boundary conditions as well, it all seems secure.

	[PATCH] NMI trigger switch support for debugging(updated)
	
	I made a patch for debugging with the help of NMI trigger switch.
	When kernel hangs severely, keyboard operation(e.g.Ctrl-Alt-Del)
	doesn't work properly. This patch enables debugging information
	to be displayed on console in this case.
	I think this feature is necessary as standard functionality.
	Please feel free to use this patch and let me know if you have
	any comments.
	
	Background:
	
	When a trouble occurs in kernel, we usually begin to investigate
	with following information:
	 - panic >> panic message.
	 - oops >> CPU registers and stack trace.
	 - hang >> **NONE** no standard method established.
	
	How it works:
	
	Most IA32 servers have a NMI switch that fires NMI interrupt up.
	The NMI interrupt can interrupt even if kernel is serious state,
	for example deadlock under the interrupt disabled.
	When the NMI switch is pressed after this feature is activated,
	CPU registers and stack trace are displayed on console and then
	panic occurs.
	This feature is activated or deactivated with sysctl.
	
	On IA32 architecture, only the following are defined as reason
	of NMI interrupt:
	 - memory parity error
	 - I/O check error
	The reason code of NMI switch is not defined, so this patch assumes
	that all undefined NMI interrupts are fired by MNI switch.
	However, oprofile and NMI watchdog also use undefined NMI interrupt.
	Therefore this feature cannot be used at the same time with oprofile
	and NMI watchdog. This feature hands NMI interrupt over to oprofile
	and NMI watchdog. So, when they have been activated, this feature
	doesn't work even if it is activated.
	
	Supported architecture:
	
	IA32
	
	Setup:
	
	Set up the system control parameter as follows:
	
	# sysctl -w kernel.unknown_nmi_panic=1
	kernel.unknown_nmi_panic = 1
	
	If the NMI switch is pressed, CPU registers and stack trace will
	be displayed on console and then panic occurs.

	[PATCH] ppc64: Fix v_regs pointer setup
	
	During some signal test, we found that v_regs pointer was not setup
	correctly.  v_regs was made to point to itself, as a result of which the
	pointer was corrupted when vec registers were copied over.  When the signal
	handler returned, restore_sigcontext tried derefering the invalid pointer
	and in the process killed the app with SIGSEGV.

	[PATCH] ppc64: bolted SLB entry for iSeries
	
	Tested, at least basically, on Power4 iSeries with shared processors, on
	Power4 pSeries and RS64 (non-SLB) iSeries machines.
	
	On pSeries SLB machines we "bolt" an SLB entry for the first segment of the
	vmalloc() area into the SLB, to reduce the SLB miss rate.  This caused
	problems, so was disabled, on iSeries because the bolted entry was not
	restored properly on shared processor switch.  This patch adds information
	about the bolted vmalloc segment to the lpar map, which should be restored
	on shared processor switch.

	[PATCH] ppc64: tweak schedule_timeout in __cpu_die
	
	The current code does schedule_timeout(HZ) when waiting for a cpu to die,
	which is a bit coarse and tends to limit the "throughput" of my stress
	tests :)
	
	Change the HZ timeout to HZ/5, increase the number of tries to 25 so the
	overall wait time is similar.  In practice, I've never seen the loop need
	more than two iterations.

	Below patch reuses the big-endian bitops for the little endian ones, and
	moves the ext2_{set,clear}_bit_atomic functions to be truly atomic instead

	This requires that the bitmaps passed to the ext2_* bitop functions are

	1024-byte aligned, and sparc and ppc32 also impose an alignment requirement

	[PATCH] ppc64: Extend ioremap/iounmap infrastructure
	
	The patch below implements the ability to query outstanding imalloc regions
	for a given virtual address range.  (Imalloc is the allocator of virtual
	space for ioremap.) The patch extends im_get_area() to allow a region
	criterion of IM_REGION_SUPERSET.  For a particular "superset" virtual
	address and size passed into im_get_area(), the function returns the first
	outstanding region that is contained within this superset region.
	
	The patch also changes iounmap_explicit() to allow for the unmapping of all
	regions that fit under a "superset".
	
	This ability is necessary for dynamic (runtime) removal of pci host bridges
	(PHBs).  For a PHB removal, the platform specification (the RPA) requires
	that all of its children slots already be dynamically removed.  Each of
	these slot-level removals has fractured the imalloc region assigned to the
	PHB at boot.  At PHB removal time, it is necessary to iounmap() the
	remaining artifacts of the initial PHB region.

	[PATCH] HVCS fixes
	
	Here are a set of HVCS (drivers/char/hvcs.c) fixes that were suggested by Jeff
	Garzik on July 29th in his review of this driver as well as some other fixes
	for problems I found while reviewing the driver.  These are all relatively
	minor, but necessary.
	
	- Cleaned up curly braces on single line conditional blocks.
	
	- Replaced debug memset(...,0x3F,...) with memset(...,0x00,...).
	
	- Removed explicit '= 0' after static int declarations since these default
	  to zero.
	
	- Removed list_for_each_safe() instances and replaced with
	  list_for_each_entry() which cut down on amt of code.  The 'safe' version is
	  un-needed now that the driver is using spinlocks.
	
	- Changed spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock() when locking hvcs_structs_lock
	  and hvcs_pi_lock since these are not touched in an int handler.
	
	- changed spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock() in interrupt handler.
	
	- Initialized hvcs_structs_lock and hvcs_pi_lock to SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED at
	  declaration tiem rather than in hvcs_module_init().
	
	- Added spin_lock around list_del() in destroy_hvcs_struct() to protect the
	  list traversal from deletion.  The original omission was an oversight.
	
	- Removed '= NULL' from pointer declarations since they are initialized NULL
	  by default.
	
	- Removed wmb() instance from hvcs_try_write().  They probably aren't needed
	  with locking in place.
	
	- Added check and cleanup for hvcs_pi_buff = kmalloc() in
	  hvcs_module_init().
	
	- Exposed hvcs_struct.index via a sysfs attribute so that the coupling
	  between /dev/hvcs* and a vty-server can be systematically determined.
	
	- Moved kobject_put() in hvcs_open() outside of the
	  spin_unlock_irqrestore().
	
	- In hvcs_probe() changed kmalloc(sizeof(*hvcsd),...) to
	  kmalloc(sizeof(struct hvcs_struct)) because hvcsd references a NULL pointer
	  at the time of kmalloc.
	
	- Incremented the HVCS_DRIVER_VERSION to 1.3.1
	
	arch/ppc64/kernel/hvcserver.c:
	
	- Changed function documentation of EXPORTed functions to comply with proper
	  kernel-doc documentation style.
	
	- Changed 'unsigned int' types to 'uint32_t' to comply with how unit
	  addresses and partition IDs are handled in other arch/ppc64 vterm code.
	
	- Cleaned up curly braces on single line conditional blocks.
	
	include/asm-ppc64/hvcserver.h:
	
	- Added kernel-doc style documentation for hvcs_partner_info struct.
	
	- changed 'unsigned int' types to 'uint32_t' to comply with how unit

	[PATCH] Fix x86-64 singlestep through sigreturn system call
	
	This patch just directly clones Davide Libenzi's i386 code for x86-64 in
	both 64-bit and 32-bit cases.  With this, the behavior of single-stepping
	all system calls is consistent.  
	
	The syscall exit tracing caused by TIF_SINGLESTEP is superfluous in the
	case of sysret returns, but harmlessly so (since continuing afterward with
	PTRACE_CONT will have cleared TF as well as TIF_SINGLESTEP).  I figured
	that little bit of extra processing in the single-step case was better than
	adding code to ignore the flag in the sysret case.

	ChangeSet 1.1371.413.23 [1] introduced the file

	support the new DMA API. I don't know if this is the case with s390,

	duplicate those in include/asm-generic/dma-mapping-broken.h.

	[PATCH] Subject: cdrom.c get_last_written fixup
	
	There's something wrong in cdrom.c: cdrom_get_last_written() for instance
	calls cdrom_get_disc_info() and cdrom_get_track_info() to get information
	about tracks, but these functions don't ensure that all the
	track_information or disc_information structure is filled:
	
		/* (buflen was first set to 8 to get track_information_length field) */
	
		if ((ret = cdo->generic_packet(cdi, &cgc)))
			return ret;
	
		cgc.buflen = be16_to_cpu(ti->track_information_length) +
			     sizeof(ti->track_information_length);
	
		if (cgc.buflen > sizeof(track_information))
			cgc.buflen = sizeof(track_information);
	
		cgc.cmd[8] = cgc.buflen;
		return cdo->generic_packet(cdi, &cgc);
	
	The second test ensures that at least we won't overflow the structure, but
	nothing ensures that all the structure will be filled.
	
	And indeed, we have a drive here that won't fill it all: the returned
	track_information_length field will be *less than*
	sizeof(track_information) - sizeof(ti->track_information_length), so that
	cdrom_get_last_written() reads values that weren't filled in!  As a result,
	we are sometimes unable to read some parts of CDROMs, depending on the
	uninitialized state of the structure...
	
	Here is a patch that adds filling checks: cdrom_get_disc_info() and
	cdrom_get_track_info() return the actual filled length, and it's up to the
	caller to check that this is enough for him to get the values it wants.
	
	Note: adding something like a
	#define spanof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) ((&((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)+1))
	definition just near that of offsetof() in include/linux/stddef.h would
	make it more pretty, but still it won't help for bitfields :/

	[PATCH] get_random_bytes() returns the same on every boot
	
	At boot time, get_random_bytes always returns the same random data, as if
	there were a constant random seed.  For example, if I use the kernel level
	ip autoconfiguration with dhcp, the kernel will create a dhcp request
	packet with always the same transaction ID.  (If you have more than one
	computers, and they are booting at the same time, then this is a big
	problem)
	
	That happens, because only the primary entropy pool is initialized with the
	system time, in function rand_initialize.  The secondary pool is only
	cleared.  In this early stage of booting, there is usually no user
	interaction, or usable disk interrupts, so the kernel can't add any real
	random bytes to the primary pool.  And altough the system time is in the
	primary pool, the kernel does not consider it real random data, so you
	can't read from the primary pool, before at least a part of it will be
	filled with some real randomness (interrupt timing).  Therefore all random
	data will come from the secondary pool, and the kernel cannot reseed the
	secondary pool, because there is no real randomness in the primary one.
	
	The solution is simple: Initialize not just the primary, but also the
	secondary pool with the system time.

	[PATCH] fbcon: ifferentiate bits_per_pixel from color depth
	
	1. If you remember this thread (HP300 support checked in), one concern
	   was how to support framebuffers with bpp == 8 but color depth < 8
	   (chunky layout).  I suggested to use the fields in var->{red|green|blue}
	   to differentiate between bits_per_pixel and depth.  Included is a patch
	   that does that.
	
	   (The above assumes background/foreground of 0/1.  If hardware needs a
	   different value, such as 0 - black, 0xff - white, just indicate
	   TRUECOLOR or DIRECTCOLOR and set info->pseudopalette correctly in
	   xxxfb_setcolreg().)
	
	   The patch will break the following drivers when in monochrome since
	   they do not set the proper color bitfields.  I've included a fix in
	   patch #2.
	
	   68328fb
	   bw2fb
	   cirrusfb
	   dnfb
	   macfb
	   stifb
	   tx3912fb
	
	2. Besides the change above, support for the inverse and underline
	   attribute is added in monochrome mode.  One should get text which are
	   underlined/reversed if the corresponding attribute is set.
	
	3. Because vt.c uses a 16-color palette, use fbcon_default_cmap if
	   framebuffer can do less than 16 colors.  In 4 colors, display will be
	   grayscaled.  In 8 colors, display should have the same colors as a
	   16-color console but will lack brightness/ intensity.
	
	4. Fix monochrome logo drawing.
	
	5. Reduce code of fbcon_putc so it just calls fbcon_putcs.

	softirq rcu can then use the same code, they work different global and percpu

	This patch introduces a new api - call_rcu_bh().  This is to be used for RCU

	So, in order to make reader critical sections safe in process context,
	rcu_read_lock_bh() and rcu_read_unlock_bh() must be used.  Use of softirq
	handler completion as a quiescent state speeds up RCU grace periods and

	[PATCH] token based thrashing control
	
	The following experimental patch implements token based thrashing
	protection, using the algorithm described in:
	
		http://www.cs.wm.edu/~sjiang/token.htm
	
	When there are pageins going on, a task can grab a token, that protects the
	task from pageout (except by itself) until it is no longer doing heavy
	pageins, or until the maximum hold time of the token is over.
	
	If the maximum hold time is exceeded, the task isn't eligable to hold the
	token for a while more, since it wasn't doing it much good anyway.
	
	I have run a very unscientific benchmark on my system to test the
	effectiveness of the patch, timing how a 230MB two-process qsbench run
	takes, with and without the token thrashing protection present.
	
	normal 2.6.8-rc6:	6m45s
	2.6.8-rc6 + token:	4m24s
	
	This is a quick hack, implemented without having talked to the inventor of

	[PATCH] Concurrent O_SYNC write support
	
	In databases it is common to have multiple threads or processes performing
	O_SYNC writes against different parts of the same file.
	
	Our performance at this is poor, because each writer blocks access to the
	file by waiting on I/O completion while holding i_sem: everything is
	serialised.
	
	The patch improves things by moving the writing and waiting outside i_sem.
	So other threads can get in and submit their I/O and permit the disk
	scheduler to optimise the IO patterns better.
	
	Also, the O_SYNC writer only writes and waits on the pages which he wrote,
	rather than writing and waiting on all dirty pages in the file.
	
	The reason we haven't been able to do this before is that the required walk
	of the address_space page lists is easily livelockable without the i_sem
	serialisation.  But in this patch we perform the waiting via a radix-tree
	walk of the affected pages.  This cannot be livelocked.
	
	The sync of the inode's metadata is still performed inside i_sem.  This is
	because it is list-based and is hence still livelockable.  However it is
	usually the case that databases are overwriting existing file blocks and
	there will be no dirty buffers attached to the address_space anyway.
	
	The code is careful to ensure that the IO for the pages and the IO for the
	metadata are nonblockingly scheduled at the same time.  This is am improvemtn
	over the current code, which will issue two separate write-and-wait cycles:
	one for metadata, one for pages.
	
	Note from Suparna:
	Reworked to use the tagged radix-tree based writeback infrastructure.

	[PATCH] nfsd: simplify auth_domain_lookup
	
	The interface between the auth_domain and the cache code is messy; the
	auth_domain code is the only real user of the full 11-argument
	DefineCacheLookup, and does weird stuff with it (like passing in through one
	of the arguments a bit of code with a conditional return).
	
	We could further parametrize DefineCacheLookup, but I think it's already too
	complicated.
	
	My solution is to just ignore DefineCacheLookup and write the
	auth_domain_lookup function from scratch.  It's actually a pretty short

	To purge an nfsd-authentication cache, we set the flush time to later than

	find 'later than last-refresh' is 'now+1'.

	     be purged
	  2/ if a new entry is added in the same second as cache_purge ran, it will
	     get ignored.
	
	To resolve these issues, we set the flushtime to the maximum possible time
	before calling cache_flush, and then set it back to the minimum time
	afterwards.

	[PATCH] IPMI driver updates
	
	Some people found some bugs and some missing functions in the IPMI driver,
	so I have patching things together for the next release.  The attached
	patch moves to version 33 of the driver and contains:
	
	* SMBIOS table support for specifying register spacing.  This allows
	  non-contiguous registers to be specified and some machines do
	  this.
	* ACPI table updates to support all the possible register sizes and
	  bit offsets into the registers for the IPMI information.
	* Support for command line parameters to specify register
	  spacing, sizes, and bit offsets.
	* Support for power control with IPMI.  This allows a halt to
	  power down a machine with IPMI.
	* A fix for a race condition with interrupts enabled on an
	  SMP machine.  A lock was released then reclaimed, but
	  there was code later that assumed that had not happened.
	* A fix for protecting the driver against bad responses from
	  the controller chip.  In the past, the driver had assumed that
	  the controller chip would not give it bad data.  This has
	  turned out to be a bad assumption
	* ACPI interrupt handlers now return a return value, adjust
	  accordingly.

	I found one more accounting inconsistency with dio_pages_in_io.  This is a

	changes to dio_pages_in_io calculations to be exact.
	
	If the file is badly fragmented (no contiguous blocks at all), and the user
	buffer is not page aligned - we need to create IO for each disk block with
	2 pages.  (bio with 2 vecs).
	
	dio_bio_add_page() should not decrement dio_pages_in_io for every add page.
	 It should only decrement, it only if its done with that page and moving on
	to next page.  (since dio_pages_in_io represent how many actual pages we
	are operating on).
	
	Here is the patch to fix this accounting.  Without this patch, we will hit
	BUG() in dio_new_bio() with O_DIRECT on filesystems.

	Here is a consolidated readahead patch that takes care of the performance
	regression seen with multiple threaded writes to the same file descriptor. 
	
	
		The patch does the following:
	
		1. Instead of calculating the average count of sequential
			access in the read patterns, it calculates the
			average amount of hits in the current window.
		2. This average is used to guide the size of the next current
			window.
		3. Since the field serial_cnt in the ra structure does not
		 	make sense with the introduction of the new logic,
			I have renamed that field as currnt_wnd_hit.
	
	This patch will help the read patterns that are not neccessarily sequential
	but have sufficient locality.  However it may regress random workload.  
	
		Results:
	
		1. Berkley Shands has reported great performance with this
			patch.
		2. iozone showed negligible effect on various read patterns.
		3. DSS workload saw neglible change.
		4. Sysbench saw a small improvement.

	[PATCH] rlimit-based mlocks for unprivileged users
	
	Here is the last agreed-on patch that lets normal users mlock pages up to
	their rlimit.  This patch addresses all the issues brought up by Chris and
	Andrea.
	
	From: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>
	
	Couple more nits.
	
	The default lockable amount is one page now (first patch is was 0).  Why
	don't we keep it as 0, with the CAP_IPC_LOCK overrides in place?  That way
	nothing is changed from user perspective, and the rest of the policy can be
	done by userspace as it should.
	
	This patch breaks in one scenario.  When ulimit == 0, process has
	CAP_IPC_LOCK, and does SHM_LOCK.  The subsequent unlock or destroy will
	corrupt the locked_shm count.
	
	It's also inconsistent in handling user_can_mlock/CAP_IPC_LOCK interaction
	betwen shm_lock and shm_hugetlb.
	
	SHM_HUGETLB can now only be done by the shm_group or CAP_IPC_LOCK.
	Not any can_do_mlock() user.
	
	Double check of can_do_mlock isn't needed in SHM_LOCK path.
	
	Interface names user_can_mlock and user_substract_mlock could be better.
	
	Incremental update below.  Ran some simple sanity tests on this plus my
	patch below and didn't find any problems.
	
	* Make default RLIM_MEMLOCK limit 0.
	* Move CAP_IPC_LOCK check into user_can_mlock to be consistent
	  and fix but with ulimit == 0 && CAP_IPC_LOCK with SHM_LOCK.
	* Allow can_do_mlock() user to try SHM_HUGETLB setup.
	* Remove unecessary extra can_do_mlock() test in shmem_lock().
	* Rename user_can_mlock to user_shm_lock and user_subtract_mlock
	  to user_shm_unlock.
	* Use user instead of current->user to fit in 80 cols on SHM_LOCK.

	This is no security problem because it's trivial for processes to lock way

	NFS: In 2.4, NFS O_DIRECT used the VFS's O_DIRECT logic to provide
	   direct I/O support for NFS files.  The 2.4 VFS O_DIRECT logic was
	   block based, thus the NFS client had to provide a minimum
	   allowable blocksize for O_DIRECT reads and writes on NFS files. 
	   For various reasons we chose 512 bytes. In 2.6, there is no
	   requirement for a minimum blocksize.  NFS O_DIRECT reads and
	   writes can go to any byte at any offset in a file.  Thus we revert
	   the blocksize setting for NFS file systems to the previous
	   behavior, which was to advertise the "wsize" setting as the
	   optimal I/O block size.  This improves the performance of
	   applications like 'cp' which use this value as their transfer
	   size.
	
	This patch also exposes the server's reported disk block size in the
	   f_frsize of the vfsstat structure.

	NFSv2: In the NFSv3 RFC, the sattr3 structure passed in the SETATTR

	   time, or not changed.  The set-to-current-server value is used
	   when you run "touch file" on the client.
	
	The NFSv2 RFC defines no such encoding for the sattr structure. 
	   However Solaris and Irix machine obey a convention where passing
	   the invalid value mtime.useconds=1000000 means "set both mtime and
	   atime to the current server time".  The convention is documented
	   in the book "NFS Illustrated" by Brent Callaghan.  The patch below
