Do some memory barrier changes for safety/perfomance: Don't need read after update to index, mmiowb() followed by read at end of irq is sufficient. Signed-off-by:

This workaround was added to deal with NAPI core and how it affected dual port shared polling. It turned out not to be necessary. Stopping device 0 only doesn't stop NAPI from working completely after that. Signed-off-by:

Align the PHY setup of the sky2 driver with the vendor sk98lin (10.0.4.3) driver. The PHY register settings are mostly black magic, even with access to the documentation it isn't clear what the right values are. The changes are mostly comments, the code change only affects the Yukon FE (100 mbit only) version. Signed-off-by:

The function ipxrtr_route_packet() takes a 'len' argument of type size_t. However, its prototype in af_ipx.c incorrectly suggests that the corresponding argument is of type 'int' instead. Discovered by building with --combine and letting the compiler see it all at once. Signed-off-by:

After a suspend/resume cycle, the UART may have been reset into low-speed mode -- either because it's actually been reset, or because the firmware pokes at the old-style divisor registers. If we detected it as a NS16550A SuperIO chip in the first place and set baud_base to 921600, then we should do so again in the resume path. This patch adds that code to serial8250_resume_port(), and also makes serial8250_resume() actually call serial8250_resume_port() for each port instead of just calling uart_resume_port() directly. And thus fixes serial port operation after suspend/resume. It also fixes a bogus comment where we write the EXCR2 register with a comment saying /* EXCR1 */ Signed-off-by:

Re-introduce rmap verification patches that Hugh removed when he removed PG_map_lock. PG_map_lock actually isn't needed to synchronise access to anonymous pages, because PG_locked and PTL together already do. These checks were important in discovering and fixing a rare rmap corruption in SLES9. Signed-off-by:

grow_dev_page() simply passes GFP_NOFS to find_or_create_page. This means the allocation of radix tree nodes is done with GFP_NOFS and the allocation of a new page is done using GFP_NOFS. The mapping has a flags field that contains the necessary allocation flags for the page cache allocation. These need to be consulted in order to get DMA and HIGHMEM allocations etc right. And yes a blockdev could be allowing Highmem allocations if its a ramdisk. Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by:

The sysfs files /sys/power/disk and /sys/power/state do not work as documented, since they allow the user to write only a few initial characters of the input string to trigger the option (eg. 'echo pl > /sys/power/disk' activates the platform mode of hibernation). Fix it. Special thanks to Peter Moulder <Peter.Moulder@infotech.monash.edu.au> for pointing out the problem. Signed-off-by:

i_mutex on quota files is special. Unlike i_mutexes for other inodes it is acquired under dqonoff_mutex. Tell lockdep about this lock ranking. Also comment and code in quota_sync_sb() seem to be bogus (as i_mutex for quota file can be acquired under dqonoff_mutex). Move truncate_inode_pages() call under dqonoff_mutex and save some problems with races... Signed-off-by:

No other architecture calls check_pgt_cache() from within flush_tlb_mm(), and i386 is already calling check_pgt_cache() from the usual places, tlb_finish_mmu() and cpu_idle() (the latter being odd, but not unusual). flush_tlb_mm() has no business to be freeing pages: remove that line, which sneaked in with slub's i386 support.

Loosen gpio_{request,free}() and gpio_direction_{in,out}put() call context restrictions slightly, so a common idiom is no longer an error: board init code setting up spinlock-safe GPIOs before tasking is enabled. The issue was caught by some paranoid code with might_sleep() checks. The legacy platform-specific GPIO interfaces stick to spinlock-safe GPIOs, so this change reflects current implementations and won't break anything. Signed-off-by: -

Make table entries smaller so that pdf and ps output is readable (columns were being overwritten and garbled) by using abbreviations. This allows the tables to fit on one page cleanly.

Strip __cpuinit[data] from Node <-> PXM routines and supporting data structures. Also make pxm_to_node_map and node_to_pxm_map local to the numa acpi module. This fixes a bug triggered by the following conditions: - boot on a machine with a SLIT table defined - kernel is configured w/ CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n - cat /sys/devices/system/node/node*/distance This will cause an oops by calling into a freed memory section. In particular, on x86_64, __node_distance calls node_to_pxm(). Signed-off-by:

Currently we have a maze of configuration variables that determine the maximum slab size. Worst of all it seems to vary between SLAB and SLUB. So define a common maximum size for kmalloc. For conveniences sake we use the maximum size ever supported which is 32 MB. We limit the maximum size to a lower limit if MAX_ORDER does not allow such large allocations. For many architectures this patch will have the effect of adding large kmalloc sizes. x86_64 adds 5 new kmalloc sizes. So a small amount of memory will be needed for these caches (contemporary SLAB has dynamically sizeable node and cpu structure so the waste is less than in the past) Most architectures will then be able to allocate object with sizes up to MAX_ORDER. We have had repeated breakage (in fact whenever we doubled the number of supported processors) on IA64 because one or the other struct grew beyond what the slab allocators supported. This will avoid future issues and f.e. avoid fixes for 2k and 4k cpu support. CONFIG_LARGE_ALLOCS is no longer necessary so drop it. It fixes sparc64 with SLAB. Signed-off-by:

Consolidate functionality into the #ifdef section. Extract tracing into one subroutine. Move object debug processing into the #ifdef section so that the code in __slab_alloc and __slab_free becomes minimal. Reduce number of functions we need to provide stubs for in the !SLUB_DEBUG case.

The atomicity when handling flags in SLUB is not necessary since both flags used by SLUB are not updated in a racy way. Flag updates are either done during slab creation or destruction or under slab_lock. Some of these flags do not have the non atomic variants that we need. So define our own. Signed-off-by:

I'm getting zillions of undefined references to __kmalloc_size_too_large on alpha. For some reason alpha is building out-of-line copies of kmalloc_slab() into lots of compilation units. It turns out that gcc just isn't smart enough to work out that __builtin_contant_p(size)==true implies that __builtin_contant_p(index)==true. So let's give it a bit of help.
