  Updated patches to scsi_register patches against the 2.5.45 tree

Okay, we're finally at the point where ->detect has become entirely
superflous.  In sd, sr and st it does nothing but return different
values that are ignored anyway, in sg it increments a variable
that is never read (and thus removed in this patch aswell), only
in osst it increments a variable that is actually checked for beeing
non-zero.  But if it was zero we'd never reached that place anyway
(same check in the beginning of osst_detect and osst_attach).

This make the upper layer interface a lot nicer and avoids the
race condition where a device is remove between detect and attach
(which currently wouldn't matter anyway as we aren't doing anything
in detect anymore)

This patch adds request prep functions to the mid-layer.  At the moment, its a single request prep function for all of SCSI.  I've altered the logic in scsi_request_fn so that we now do early preparation (this should improve throughput slightly in the untagged case with only a single command block).

The prep function also cannot drop the queue lock, so the calling assumptions for scsi_init_io and the upper layer driver init_commands have changed to be that the lock is now held and they cannot drop it.  I think this means that we have no callers of scsi_init_io that aren't atomic, so perhaps I can just take the if out.

I've hammered this in my usual set up, but other testers would be welcome.

Just a new PCI ID (and get twice the MegaHz :-).

This makes VT8653 (VIA Apollo Pro266T) work with AGP.  I had someone
test it and verify it works.

This fixes a minor typo in sl82c105.c which stops it from compiling.

This updates the powermac IDE driver in 2.5 so it uses the 2.5 kernel
interfaces and types rather than the 2.4 ones.  It also makes it use
blk_rq_map_sg rather than its own code to set up scatter/gather lists in
pmac_ide_build_sglist, and makes it use ide_lock instead of
io_request_lock.

This updates the macserial driver in 2.5 so it compiles and works.  The
main changes are to use schedule_work instead of task queues and BHs.
The patch also removes the wait_key method.

I know we need to change macserial to use the new serial
infrastructure.  I'm posting this patch in case it is useful to anyone
trying to compile up a kernel for a powermac at the moment.

 - Some constant adjusted
 - Comments added
 - Better hash initialization
 - Correct timeout setup
 - Added __KERNEL__ bypass to avoid userspace inclusion problems
 - Cleaned up locking
 - Function poll_init_wait() now calls poll_init_wait_ex()
 - Event return fix ( Jay Vosburgh )
 - Use <linux/hash.h> for the hash

If a rpc operation indicates that response should
be dropped (e.g. kmalloc failure) we must still
call pc_release to release anything it may have allocated.

This allows NFSv3 to manage 4096byte symlinks.

Also remove now-unused svcbuf_reserver function.

This was used to reserve space in output buffer
for 'data', but now this is stored in separate page.

rq_res->len was not always updated properly.
It is only needed in the sendto routine, so we calculate
it just before that is called, and don't bother
updating it anywhere else.

From Hirokazu Takahashi <taka@valinux.co.jp>

This patch changes read and readdir in nfsd.

read:
  If the file supports readpage, we use it to collect pages out of the page
  cache and to attache them directly to the outgoing nfs reply.
  The reduces the number of copies by one, and if the filesystem/device
  driver didn't copy the data, and if the network card can support not copying
  the data, then you get zero-copy reads.

readdir:
  A separate page is used for stoing the readdir response so that a fill
  PAGE_SIZE bytes of reply can be supported.

From Hirokazu Takahashi <taka@valinux.co.jp>

As all rpc server replies are now in well defined pages,
we can use ->sendpage to send these replies, and so
make use for zero-copy transmit on network cards that
support it.

 A partial block write over a block on a failed device
 would need to pre-read that block, which means pre-read all
 blocks in stripe and generate that block.  But the generate-block
 code never checked for this possibility, so it wouldn't happen.

When analysing a stripe in handle_stripe we set bits
 R5_Wantread or R5_Wantwrite
to indicate if a read or write is needed.  We don't actually schedule the
IO immediately as this is done under a spinlock (sh->lock) and
generic_make_request can block.  Instead we check these bits after
the lock has been lifted and then schedule the IO.

But once the lock has been lifted we aren't safe against multiple
access, and it is possible that the IO will be scheduled never, or twice.

So, we use test_and_clear to check and potentially schedule the IO.

This wasn't a problem in 2.4 because the equivalent information was
stored on the stack instead of in the stripe.

We also make sure bi_io_vec[0] has correct values as a previous
call to generic_make_request may have changed them.

From Angus Sawyer <angus.sawyer@dsl.pipex.com>:

1. Null pointer dereference in end_sync_read

   r1_bio->read_disk is not initialised correctly in sync_request .

   this is used in end_sync_read to reference the structure
   conf->mirror[read_disk].rdev which with one disk missing is NULL.


2. Null pointer dereference in mempool_free()

   This is a race between close_sync() conf->r1_bufpool =3D NULL and put_buf()
   mempool_free().

   bio completion -> resume_device -> put_buf -> mempool_free(r1_bufpool)
				|
			   [ wakeup]
				|
			   close_sync()	-> r1_bufpool = NULL;

   The patch attached  reorders the mempool_free before the  barrier is released
   and merges resume_device() into put_buf(), (they are only used together).
   Otherwise I have kept the locking and wakeups identical to the existing code.
   (maybe this could be streamlined)

3.  BUG() at close_sync() if (waitqueue_active(&conf->wait_resume).

   This occurs with and without the patch for (2).

   I think this is a false BUG().  From what I understand of the device barrier
   code, there is nothing wrong with make_request() waiting on wait_resume when
   this test is made.  Therefore I have removed it (the wait_idle test is still
   correct).

4. raid1 tries to start a resync if there is only one working drive,
   which is pretty pointless, and noisy.  We notice that special case and
   avoid the resync.

Roughly in order of patch:

1/ xor.h is never needed in md.c
2/ set sb_loaded when we 'sync' mddev to rdev as well as when we load
   sb into rdev from disk.
2/ due to lifetime changes, active count can be 2 when we stop array
3/ due to lifetime changes, we need to explicitly clear the ->pers when we
   stop an array
4/ autostart can only work for 0.90.0 superblocks.
   None others would be silly enough to store device numbers for
   all devices in the superblock...
5/ we had lost the setting of 'sb' when auto-starting an array.
6/ Code currently calls export_rdev(start_rdev) when
   IS_ERR(start_rdev), which causes an oops.
7/ /proc/mdstat contents error:
       code does not take into account that delayed
       resyncs can wait with curr_resync = 1 or 2.
8/ There is a premature "return NOTIFY_DONE", that possibly was in
   for debugging once...

Make sure we drain the entire list of pages that failed to get added
to the mapping.

We can't allow quota state changes on a read-only device,
this would kick of a failing transaction & shut down the fs.
Previously the test was quota/no quota but we need to disallow
any change wrt user and/or group quota state.

a separate file, xfs_iomap.c out of xfs_lrw.c. Remove some parts
of the code which were not doing anything for us. This is step
one in some major reorgs of this code.
