Optimize ext2_find_next_zero_bit. Gives about 25% perf improvement with a
rsync test with ext3.
Signed-off-by: Randolph Chung <tausq@parisc-linux.org>
fix ext3 performance - ext2_find_next_zero() was culprit.
Kudos to jejb for pointing out the the possibility that ext2_test_bit
and ext2_find_next_zero() may in fact not be enumerating bits in
the bitmap because of endianess. Took sparc64 implementation and
adapted it to our tree. I suspect the real problem is ffz() wants
an unsigned long and was getting garbage in the top half of the
unsigned int. Not confirmed but that's what I suspect.

Fixup bitops.h to use volatile for *_bit() ops
Based on this email thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108826637900003
In a nutshell:
*_bit() want use of volatile.
__*_bit() are "relaxed" and don't use spinlock or volatile.
other minor changes:
o replaces hweight64() macro with alias to generic_hweight64() (Joel Soete)
o cleanup ext2* macros so (a) it's obvious what the XOR magic is about
and (b) one version that works for both 32/64-bit.
o replace 2 uses of CONFIG_64BIT with __LP64__. bitops.h used both.
I think header files that might go to user space should use
something userspace will know about (__LP64__).

Take into account nullified insn and lock functions for profiling
This is needed at the end of functions; it is typical that the return
branch nullifies the next insn, which is in the next function. This
causes profiling data to show up against the "wrong" function.
We also count lock times against the locker. This is consistent with

2.6.14-rc2-pa2 - make SBA more anal about invalidating pdir entries
Previous code cleared the valid flag a pdir entry but it did NOT
guarantee this change was visible to the PDIR before writing
the PCOM register. Ie the SBA could pick up a stale entry if
the write happened to hit the SBA before the cacheline was flushed
from the cache.
Long term, I think I want to make this a compile time flag.
Developement tree should enable anal pdir checking by default
and Debian can disable it with either a CONFIG option
or one-line patch. fdc/sync options can only negatively affect
performance though I haven't measure how much yet.
If someone can run netperf TCP_RR across gige and compare
-pa1 and -pa2, that would be sufficient.
Cleaned up the use of "fdc" to make sure it's using "kernel"
space id (specify sr0 but maps to sr4-7). It seems a bit fragile
to assume "sr1" gets loaded with KERNEL_SPACE which is how the
code works today.

When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only
place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group
dying, without races. Since then we've gotten the signal_struct.live
counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work.
This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks. This
avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks
about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers.

AMD recently discovered that on some hardware, there is a race condition
possible when a C-state change request goes onto the bus at the same
time as a P-state change request.
Both requests happen, but the southbridge hardware only acknowledges the
C-state change. The PowerNow! driver is then stuck in a loop, waiting
for the P-state change acknowledgement. The driver eventually times
out, but can no longer perform P-state changes.
It turns out the solution is to resend the P-state change, which the
southbridge will acknowledge normally.
Thanks to Johannes Winkelmann for reporting this and testing the fix.

This fixes a stupid typo bug in the iSeries hash table code.

SECONDARY flag bit, as we should, we (redundantly) set the VALID flag.
This was introduced with the patch abolishing bitfields from the hash

in practice we don't hit the secondary bucket terribly often.

While working on 64K pages, I found this little buglet in our
update_mmu_cache() implementation.
The code calls __hash_page() passing it an "access" parameter (the type
of access that triggers the hash) containing the bits _PAGE_RW and
_PAGE_USER of the linux PTE. The latter is useless in this case and the
former is wrong. In fact, if we have a writeable PTE and we pass
_PAGE_RW to hash_page(), it will set _PAGE_DIRTY (since we track dirty
that way, by hash faulting !dirty) which is not what we want.
In fact, the correct fix is to always pass 0. That means that only
read-only or already dirty read write PTEs will be preloaded. The
(hopefully rare) case of a non dirty read write PTE can't be preloaded
this way, it will have to fault in hash_page on the actual access.

icmp_send doesn't use skb->sk at all so even if skb->sk has already
been freed it can't cause crash there (it would've crashed somewhere
else first, e.g., ip_queue_xmit).
I found a double-free on an skb that could explain this though.
dccp_sendmsg and dccp_write_xmit are a little confused as to what
should free the packet when something goes wrong. Sometimes they
both go for the ball and end up in each other's way.
This patch makes dccp_write_xmit always free the packet no matter
what. This makes sense since dccp_transmit_skb which in turn comes
from the fact that ip_queue_xmit always frees the packet.

This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new
parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem
allocator should be within the requested limit.
We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit,
alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit
is the only api used for swiotlb.
The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been
changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that
would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use
alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a
cleanup.
With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64
arches.

The PF_NOFREEZE process flag should not be inherited when a thread is

This problem is starting to show up more and more as drivers turn to the
kthread API instead of using kernel_thread(). As a result, their kernel
threads are now children of the kthread worker instead of modprobe, and
they inherit the PF_NOFREEZE flag. This can cause problems during system

The main problem fixes is that in certain situations stopping md arrays may
take longer than you expect, or may require multiple attempts. This would
only happen when resync/recovery is happening.
This patch fixes three vaguely related bugs.
1/ The recent change to use kthreads got the setting of the
process name wrong. This fixes it.
2/ The recent change to use kthreads lost the ability for
md threads to be signalled with SIG_KILL. This restores that.
3/ There is a long standing bug in that if:
- An array needs recovery (onto a hot-spare) and
- The recovery is being blocked because some other array being
recovered shares a physical device and
- The recovery thread is killed with SIG_KILL
Then the recovery will appear to have completed with no IO being
done, which can cause data corruption.
This patch makes sure that incomplete recovery will be treated as
incomplete.
Note that any kernel affected by bug 2 will not suffer the problem of bug
3, as the signal can never be delivered. Thus the current 2.6.14-rc
kernels are not susceptible to data corruption. Note also that if arrays
are shutdown (with "mdadm -S" or "raidstop") then the problem doesn't
occur. It only happens if a SIGKILL is independently delivered as done by
'init' when shutting down.
