An old AMD 486DX4-SE(as reported by bios) here crashes on boot in amd_init, doing rdmsr in k6 case. Elan fixes added case 4 there but without break. This break allows it to boot.

Northwood P4's have one more bit in the CPUID processor info set: bit 31. Intel calls the feature PBE (Pending Break Enable). The attached patch adds the necessary entry.

This doesn't mean dmapi is scheduled for inclusion, just adding the reserved minor number to miscdevice.h for documentation purposes.

These shouldn't be there, probably the result of corruption. However, if we find one, handle it specially so that we don't deadlock during unlinked list processing in recovery. Without xfs_iput_new, we'd be waiting on an inode lock we already hold. SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:136535a

patch from Bill Irwin has_stopped_jobs() is completely unused. This patch removes has_stopped_jobs() and renames __has_stopped_jobs() to has_stopped_jobs().

proc_fill_super() simply wants a count of processes, not threads. This creates a per-cpu counter for it to use to determine that.

Patch from Bill Irwin. __do_SAK() simply wants to kill off processes using a given tty. This converts it to use for_each_task_pid().

From Rohit Seth. We're currently disabling read() and write() against hugetlbfs files via the address_space ops. But that's a bit awkward, and results in reads and writes instantiating useless, non-uptodate 4k pagecache against the inodes. The patch removes the read, write and sendfile file_operations entries. So the caller will get their -EINVAL without us ever having to go to the pagecache layer.

This is the leak which Con found. Long story... - If a dirty page is fed into ext3_writepage() during truncate, block_write_full_page() will reutrn -EIO (it's outside i_size) and will leave the buffers dirty. In the expectation that discard_buffer() will clean them. - ext3_writepage() then adds the still-dirty buffers to the journal's "async data list". These are buffers which are known to have had IO started. All we need to do is to wait on them in commit. - meanwhile, truncate will chop the pages off the address_space. But truncate cannot invalidate the buffers (in journal_unmap_buffer()) because the buffers are attached to the committing transaction. (hm. This behaviour in journal_unmap_buffer() is bogus. We just never need to write these buffers.) - ext3 commit will "wait on writeout" of these writepage buffers (even though it was never started) and will then release them from the journalling system. So we end up with pages which are attached to no mapping, which are clean and which have dirty buffers. These are unreclaimable. Aside: ext3-ordered has two buffer lists: the "sync data list" and the "async data list". The sync list consists of probably-dirty buffers which were dirtied in commit_write(). Transaction commit must write all thee out and wait on them. The async list supposedly consists of clean buffers which were attached to the journal in ->writepage. These have had IO started (by writepage) so commit merely needs to wait on them. This is all designed for the 2.4 VM really. In 2.5, tons of writeback goes via writepage (instead of the buffer lru) and these buffers end up madly hpooing between the async and sync lists. Plus it's arguably incorrect to just wait on the writes in commit - if the buffers were set dirty again (say, by zap_pte_range()) then perhaps we should write them again before committing. So what the patch does is to remove the async list. All ordered-data buffers are now attached to the single "sync data list". So when we come to commit, those buffers which are dirty will have IO started and all buffers are waited upon. This means that the dirty buffers against a clean page which came about from block_write_full_page()'s -EIO will be written to disk in commit - this cleans them, and the page is now reclaimable. No leak. It seems bogus to write these buffers in commit, and indeed it is. But ext3 will not allow those blocks to be reused until the commit has ended so there is no corruption risk. And the amount of data involved is low - it only comes about as a race between truncate and writepage().

max_sane_readahead() permits the user to readahead up to half-the-inactive-list's worth of pages. Which is totally wrong if most of memory is free. So make the limit be (nr_inactive + nr_free) / 2

Patch from Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com> This patch against 2.5.53 removes my erronous use of ino_t in a couple of places in the ext3 code. This has been replaced with unsigned long (the same as is used for inode->i_ino). This patch matches the fix submitted to 2.4 for fixing 64-bit compiler warnings, and also replaces a couple of %ld with %lu to forestall output wierdness with filesystems with a few billion inodes.
