Jens Axboe d5036d770f cfq-iosched: move cfqq initialization out of cfq_find_alloc_queue()
We're going to be needing that init code outside of that function
to get rid of the __GFP_NOFAIL in cfqq allocation.

Magnus Damm 84f7597c11 sh: fix se7724 ceu names
Use "ceu0" and "ceu1" as CEU names instead of "ceu".
This fixes "memchunk" kernel command line selection
on the solution engine 7724 board.

With this patch applied use "memchunk.ceu0=1m" or
"memchunk.ceu1=1m" on kernel command line to override
physically memory size to one meg for CEU0 or CEU1.

NeilBrown e62e58a5ff md: use interruptible wait when duration is controlled by userspace.
User space can set various limits on an md array so that resync waits
when it gets to a certain point, or so that I/O is blocked for a short
while.
When md is waiting against one of these limit, it should use an
interruptible wait so as not to add to the load average, and so are
not to trigger a warning if the wait goes on for too long.

NeilBrown a5c308d4d1 md/raid5: suspend shouldn't affect read requests.
md allows write to regions on an array to be suspended temporarily.
This allows user-space to participate is aspects of reshape.
In particular, data can be copied with not risk of a race.
We should not be blocking read requests though, so don't.

Eric W. Biederman f8a68e752b Revert "ipv4: arp announce, arp_proxy and windows ip conflict verification"
This reverts commit 73ce7b01b4.

After discovering that we don't listen to gratuitious arps in 2.6.30
I tracked the failure down to this commit.

The patch makes absolutely no sense.  RFC2131 RFC3927 and RFC5227.
are all in agreement that an arp request with sip == 0 should be used
for the probe (to prevent learning) and an arp request with sip == tip
should be used for the gratitous announcement that people can learn
from.

It appears the author of the broken patch got those two cases confused
and modified the code to drop all gratuitous arp traffic.  Ouch!

Jesse Brandeburg 4f57ca6e17 ixgbe: fix unmap length bug
This patch addresses three WARN_ON statements from DMA-API debug code

ixgbe is mapping more than it unmaps, reduce the length of the map call and
remove the "used once" local variable.

found by Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> in 2.6.30, so is a candidate
for -stable.

in addition, fix missing ->dma = 0 after unmap to prevent double free with
pci_unmap_single

and lastly, don't unmap (half) pages that aren't mapped.

Note that IRQ has not been initialized when kmalloc() fails.

Also, use DECLARE_BITMAP() to make the code clearer.

|    page-allocator: clear N_HIGH_MEMORY map before we set it again
|
|    SRAT tables may contains nodes of very small size.  The arch code may
|    decide to not activate such a node.  However, currently the early boot
|    code sets N_HIGH_MEMORY for such nodes.  These nodes therefore seem to be
|    active although these nodes have no present pages.
|
|    For 64bit N_HIGH_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY, so that works for 64 bit too

unintentionally and incorrectly clears the cpuset.mems cgroup attribute on
an i386 kvm guest, meaning that cpuset.mems can not be used.

Fix this by only clearing node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] for 64bit only.
and need to do save/restore for that in find_zone_movable_pfn

Nikanth Karthikesan b37f2d4de6 cpusets: document adding/removing cpus to cpuset elaborately
By writing a tasks's pid to the file, a process adds that task to that
cgroup/cpuset.  But to add a cpu/mem to a cpuset, the new list of cpus
should be written to the cpuset.mems file which would replace the old list
of cpus.  Make this clearer in the documentation.

Richard Kennedy d7831a0bdf mm: prevent balance_dirty_pages() from doing too much work
balance_dirty_pages can overreact and move all of the dirty pages to
writeback unnecessarily.

balance_dirty_pages makes its decision to throttle based on the number of
dirty plus writeback pages that are over the calculated limit,so it will
continue to move pages even when there are plenty of pages in writeback
and less than the threshold still dirty.

This allows it to overshoot its limits and move all the dirty pages to
writeback while waiting for the drives to catch up and empty the writeback
list.

A simple fio test easily demonstrates this problem.

fio --name=f1 --directory=/disk1 --size=2G -rw=write --name=f2 --directory=/disk2 --size=1G --rw=write --startdelay=10

This is the simplest fix I could find, but I'm not entirely sure that it
alone will be enough for all cases.  But it certainly is an improvement on
my desktop machine writing to 2 disks.

Do we need something more for machines with large arrays where
bdi_threshold * number_of_drives is greater than the dirty_ratio ?

The file opened in acct_on and freshly stored in the ns->bacct struct can

acct_lock and before we call mntput(file->f_path.mnt).

David Brownell 529ba0d966 spi: bitbang bugfix in message setup
Bugfix to spi_bitbang infrastructure: make sure to always set transfer
parameters on the first pass through the message's per-transfer loop.
This can matter with drivers that replace the per-word or per-buffer
transfer primitives, on busses with multiple SPI devices.

Previously, this could have started messages using the settings left after
previous messages.  The problem was observed when a high speed chip
(m25p80 type flash) was running very slowly because a low speed device
(avr8 microcontroller) had previously used the bus.  Similar faults could
have driven the low speed device too fast, or used an unexpected word
size.

Krzysztof Helt 537a1bf059 fbdev: add mutex for fb_mmap locking
Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer
semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call.

Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change
so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used.  Changing of these
fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed.

This is 2.6.31 material.  It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and
register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and
register_framebuffer()).  It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and
smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

David Brownell 70d6027ff2 spi: add spi_master flag word
Add a new spi_master.flags word listing constraints relevant to that
controller.  Define the first constraint bit: a half duplex restriction.
Include that constraint in the OMAP1 MicroWire controller driver.

Have the mmc_spi host be the first customer of this flag.  Its coding
relies heavily on full duplex transfers, so it must fail when the
underlying controller driver won't perform them.

(The spi_write_then_read routine could use it too: use the
temporarily-withdrawn full-duplex speedup unless this flag is set, in
which case the existing code applies.  Similarly, any spi_master
implementing only SPI_3WIRE should set the flag.)

David Brownell b55f627fee spi: new spi->mode bits
Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
pass them through to usermode drivers:

 * SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
   line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
   full duplex.

   This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
   chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
   transitions with the SPI master.

 * SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
   to pause the clock.  This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
   4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
   each of the 3-wire flavors).

   Such hardware flow control can be a big win.  There are ADC
   converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
   many host controllers support it today.

The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
current nonportable hack.  That's a mode most hardware can easily support
(unlike SPI_READY).
