If the blockdev doesn't implement BLKFLSBUF and returns -ENOTTY we should still go ahead and perform the VFS-level sync. We need to test for both ENOTTY and EINVAL because some SCSI drivers incorrectly return EINVAL.

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.
