Now that we are correctly kicking off kswapd early (before the synch reclaim watermark), it is really doing asynchronous pageout. This has exposed a latent problem where allocators running at the same time will make kswapd think it is getting into trouble, and cause too much swapping and suboptimal behaviour. This patch changes the kswapd scanning algorithm to use the same metrics for measuring pageout success as the synchronous reclaim path - namely, how much work is required to free SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages. This should make things less fragile all round, and has the added benefit that kswapd will continue running so long as memory is low and it is managing to free pages, rather than going through the full priority loop, then giving up. Should result in much better behaviour all round, especially when there are concurrent allocators. akpm: the patch was confirmed to fix up the excessive swapout which Ray Bryant <raybry@sgi.com> has been reporting.

A certain codepath in the random driver relied on vt_ioctl() being under the BKL and implicitly disabling preemption. The code wasn't buggy upstream but it's slighly unrobust so I think we want the fix upstream too, independently of the remove-bkl patch.

It became obsolete when the termios locking was changed to use a per-tty semaphore.

Some recent G5s have a problem with PCI/HT probing. They crash (machine check) during the probe of some slot numbers, it seems to be related to some functions beeing disabled by the firmware inside the K2 ASIC. This patch limits the config space accesses to devices that are present in the OF device-tree. This fixes the problem and shouldn't "add" any limitation. If you plug a "random" PCI card with no OF driver, the firmware will still build a node for it with the default set of properties created from the config space.

A threaded app that posix-locks and closes the same file in two threads concurrently may result in a posix lock that was never visible to the closer, and that thus needs cleanup on the final fput. Handle it together with the regular flocks.

This makes the agreed change of termios locking to be semaphore based sleep locking. This is needed for USB in particular as it has to use messaging to issue terminal mode changes. This code passes Torvalds test grades 0, 1 and 2 (it looks ok, it compiles and it booted). It does mean that a driver cannot take an atomic peek at termios data during an interrupt. Nobody seems to be doing this although some of the driver receive paths for line disciplines will eventually want to (n_tty currently doesn't do this locked on the receive path). Since the ldisc is given a chance to copy any essential bits on the ->set_termios path this seems not to be a problem.

lock must not be held across the driver/ldisc downcalls. Some drivers need to set device state (baudrate etc) and may need to sleep.

Jeff Mahoney notes: "generic_shutdown_super() will happily call the ->put_super fs method, destroying data structures still in use by the iput (->delete_inode) in progress. The unlink path will call the ->unlink fs method, release the path (thus dropping the reference to the vfsmount, and then call iput. Since the vfsmount reference is dropped back to 1, a umount will succeed, causing the superblock to be cleaned up." Arrgh... Here's the trivial fix: do the final "iput()" a bit earlier in the unlink path. Note: all places that go to exit1: or exit: will have NULL inode, so we are not leaking anything here and it is OK do that iput() early; indeed, the goal of that kludge was to postpone the final iput() past the unlocking the parent for the sake of contention if a wunch of bankers is doing parallel unlink() on files in the same directory and normally it would happen on dput() after vfs_unlink())

From: Carsten Haustein <chaus@cs.uni-potsdam.de> A bug in function piix_config_drive_xfer_rate() allows a call of hwif->ide_dma_on(drive) without prior call of piix_config_drive_for_dma(). This results in harddisk configured for UDMA (default?) whereas the highest DMA mode supported by PIIX3 is MWORD2. This bug is supposed to be present in any 2.6.x kernel release and any 2.4.x kernel release since 2.4.21. bart: this should also fix the same bug for PIIXa and PIIXb Fixes bugzilla bug #3473.

Move the simple can_do_mlock() check before the full rlimits based restriction checks for mlock() and mlockall(). As it is, the check adds nothing.
