Now that the dependent patches are merged, we are ready to enable
sparseirq support. This simply adds the Kconfig option, and then converts
from the _cpu to the _node allocation routines to follow the upstream
sparseirq API changes.

This helps with bad latencies for large reads from /dev/zero, but might
conceivably break some application that "knows" that a read of /dev/zero
cannot return early. So do this early in the merge window to give us
maximal test coverage, even if the patch is totally trivial.
Obviously, no well-behaved application should ever depend on the read
being uninterruptible, but hey, bugs happen.

There's a bug in the mxser kernel module that still appears in the
2.6.29.4 kernel.
mxser_get_ISA_conf takes a ioaddress as its first argument, by passing the
not of the ioaddr, you're effectively passing 0 which means it won't be
able to talk to an ISA card. I have tested this, and removing the !
fixes the problem.

TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:
- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
...
Cons:
- no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.
This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
But this may change in the future.
- A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
While blktrace do the convertion just before output.
Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.
- In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.
The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().
I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:
dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.
And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:
# ls -l -h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out

Michael Tokarev reported receiving a large packet could crash
a machine with RTL8169 NIC.
( original thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/8/192 )
Problem is this driver tells that NIC frames up to 16383 bytes
can be received but provides skb to rx ring allocated with
smaller sizes (1536 bytes in case standard 1500 bytes MTU is used)
When a frame larger than what was allocated by driver is received,
dma transfert can occurs past the end of buffer and corrupt
kernel memory.
Fix is to tell to NIC what is the maximum size a frame can be.
This bug is very old, (before git introduction, linux-2.6.10), and
should be backported to stable versions.

Now that we support changing the chunksize, we calculate
"reshape_sectors" to be the max of number of sectors in old
and new chunk size.
However there is one please where we still use 'chunksize'
rather than 'reshape_sectors'.
This causes a reshape that reduces the size of chunks to freeze.

md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending
IO completed and no new IO starts. This is used to achieve a
stable state before making internal changes.
Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync
IO, and reshape IO.
However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO.
Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together.
If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of
such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated
until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the
first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be
used until the last is allocated.
It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is
requested. Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will
ensure the reshape thread is not running at all.
So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without
being blocked by a 'quiesce'.
This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not
grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported. So this patch is
not needed in earlier kernels.

mddev->raid_disks can be changed and any time by a request from
user-space. It is a suggestion as to what number of raid_disks is
desired.
conf->raid_disks can only be changed by the raid5 module with suitable
locks in place. It is a statement as to the current number of
raid_disks.
There are two places where the latter should be used, but the former
is used. This can lead to a crash when reshaping an array.
This patch changes to mddev-> to conf->

pdc202xx_reset() calls pdc202xx_reset_host() twice, for both channels, while
that function actually twiddles the single, shared software reset bit -- the
net effect is a duplicated reset and horrendous 4 second delay happening not
only on a channel reset but also when dma_lost_irq() and dma_clear() methods
are called. Fold pdc202xx_reset_host() into pdc202xx_reset(), fix printk(),
and move it before the actual reset...

Commit ac95beedf8bc97b24f9540d4da9952f07221c023 (ide: add struct ide_port_ops
(take 2)) erroneously converted the driver's dma_timeout() and dma_lost_irq()
methods to call the driver's resetproc() method regardless of whether it was
defined for this specific controller while it hadn't been defined and hence
called for PDC20246. So the dma_clear() method, the successor of dma_timeout(),
shouldn't exist and the dma_lost_irq() method should be standard for PDC20246.

The basic problem here that pata_legacy attaches the host, sees if it found
any devices and detaches it if none were found. With async probing, it's not
waiting until discovery is finished before deciding it has no devices and
trying the detach leading to this warning:

Because it detaches before the probe is complete.
One way to fix it would be to put an async_synchronize_full() before looking
for devices, which this patch does. A better way might be to separate libata
into its own domain and only wait for that.

While running 20 parallel instances of dd as follows:
#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 1 20`; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/hda3/dd_$i bs=1073741824 count=1 &
done
wait
on a 16G machine, we noticed that rather than just killing the processes,
the entire kernel went down. Stracing dd reveals that it first does an
mmap2, which makes 1GB worth of zero page mappings. Then it performs a
read on those pages from /dev/zero, and finally it performs a write.
The machine died during the reads. Looking at the code, it was noticed
that /dev/zero's read operation had been changed by
557ed1fa2620dc119adb86b34c614e152a629a80 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") from giving
zero page mappings to actually zeroing the page.
The zeroing of the pages causes physical pages to be allocated to the
process. But, when the process exhausts all the memory that it can, the
kernel cannot kill it, as it is still in the kernel mode allocating more
memory. Consequently, the kernel eventually crashes.
To fix this, I propose that when a fatal signal is pending during
/dev/zero read operation, we simply return and let the user process die.

This could be triggered by a gtt mapping fault on 965 that decides to
remove the fence from another object that happens to be active currently.
Since the other object doesn't rely on the fence reg for its execution, we
don't wait for it to finish. We'll soon be not waiting on 915 most of the
time as well, so just drop the BUG_ON.

The device class may be changed after the fixup, so re-read the class
value from pci_dev when configuring the device. Otherwise some devices
such as JMicron SATA controller won't work.

A driver will use the _DRM_DRIVER map flag to indicate that it wants
to be responsible for removing the map itself, bypassing the DRM's
automagic cleanup code.
Since the multi-master changes this has been broken, resulting in some
drivers having their registers unmapped before it's finished with them.

drm_helper_connector_dpms.
Making the drm_crtc.c code recognize the DPMS property and invoke the
connector->dpms function doesn't remove any capability from the driver while
reducing code duplication.
That just highlighted the problem with the existing DPMS functions which
could turn off the connector, but failed to turn off any relevant crtcs. The
new drm_helper_connector_dpms function manages all of that, using the
drm_helper-specific crtc and encoder dpms functions, automatically computing
the appropriate DPMS level for each object in the system.
This fixes the current troubles in the i915 driver which left PLLs, pipes
and planes running while in DPMS_OFF mode or even while they were unused.

allocating devname in the i915 driver was a hack originally and I
forgot to figure out how to do this properly back then.
So this is the cleaner version that just picks devname or driver name
in the irq code.
It removes the devname allocs from the i915 driver.

Freescale eSDHC controller has the special order for
the HOST version register. that is not same as the other's
registers. The address of HOSTVER in spec is 0xFE, and
we need use the in_be16(0xFE) to access it, not in_be16(0xFC).

Especially with Sandisk SDHC cards, the second SWITCH command was failing
with a timeout and the card was not recognized at all. However if the
system was busy, or debugging was enabled, or a udelay(100) was inserted
before the second SWITCH command in the core code, then the timing was
so that the card started to work.
With some unusual block sizes, the data FIFO status doesn't indicate a
"empty" state right away when the data transfer is done. Queuing
another data transfer in that condition results in a transfer timeout.
The empty FIFO bit eventually get set by itself in less than 50 usecs
when it is not set right away. So let's just poll for that bit before
configuring the controller with a new data transfer.
