The attached patch changes my "Multimedia eXtension Board" (MXB)
Video4Linux-driver to use the standard saa7111 video decoder infrastructure
(to which I recently submitted changes through Ronald Bultje) instead of
some home-brewn direct-access stuff.

Nothing serious, but it removes code duplication and makes the code use the
video decoder api.

init/initramfs.c::do_skip() has an off-by-one that leads to unpacking
failures for some gzipped cpio images.  We have

static int __init do_skip(void)
{
        if (this_header + count <= next_header) {
                eat(count);
                return 1;
        } else {
                eat(next_header - this_header);
                state = next_state;
                return 0;
        }
}

and that <= should actually be <.  It almost never matters, since if we hit
the boundary case (header ending exactly on the gunzip window end) the
current variant will simply end up doing extra call of do_skip() when we
get to the next window and that will finish the work (assign state).  The
only exception is when we hit that in the last window.  That is, if there's
nothing after the final header (trailer).  Then we miss the final state
transition (Skip -> Reset) and get "junk in archive" panic.  Normally
cpio(1) pads the image to multiple of 512, so we actually have a bunch of
zeroes after the trailer.  And that almost always saves our butts - trailer
is followed by zeroes, so we get to Reset state just fine.

So we never see that on small in-kernel image (it's less than 512 bytes, so
it gets a lot of padding) and we almost never see that on external ones
(1:127 odds of hitting the bug).

Some people expressed interest in having possibility to set CRTC <->
outputs mapping at boot time, without having to use 'matroxset' later after
kernel boots.

This patch adds option 'video=matroxfb:outputs:XYZ', where X sets which
CRTC will connect to primary output, Y sets secondary output and Z sets DVI
output.

In addition to that I also added missing memset() into maven, which was
broken since i2c was kobjectified.

I have been chasing a corruption of current->group_info on PPC during NFS
stress tests.  The problem seems to be that nfsd is messing with its
group_info quite a bit, while some monitoring processes look at
/proc/<pid>/status and do a get_group_info/put_group_info without any locking.

This problem can be reproduced on ppc platforms within a few seconds if you
generate some NFS load and do a "cat /proc/XXX/status" of an nfsd thread in a
tight loop.

I therefore think changes to current->group_info, and querying it from a
different process, needs to be protected using the task_lock.

(akpm: task->group_info here is safe against exit() because the task holds a
ref on group_info which is released in __put_task_struct, and the /proc file
has a ref on the task_struct).

ep_send_events() uses ~350 bytes of stack for a local buffer of events to send
to userspace.  The patch fixes that by removing the double-buffering
altogether.  A pipe-based microbenchmark from Davide Libenzi
<davidel@xmailserver.org> was sped up by 1-2%.

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

printk currently does

	if (oops_in_progres)
		bust_printk_locks();

which means that once we oops, the printk locking is 100% ineffective and
multiple CPUs make an unreadable mess on a serial console.  It's a significant
development hassle.

Fix that up by only popping locks once per ten seconds.

akpm@osdl.org did:

  - Bump the timeout to 30 seconds - 9600 baud is slow.

  - Handle jiffy wraps: change the logic so that we only skip the lockbust
    if the current time is within 30 seconds of the previous lockbusting
    attempt.

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>

The kernel currently prints:

 nfsd: nobody listening for auth.unix.ip upcall; has some daemon not been started?

on every bootup, during initscripts.

Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> says:

  It was part of the recent set of idmapper patches.  Bruce wanted the admin
  to get a warning when the idmapper daemon wasn't running.  I thought the
  same warning should apply to any daemon that responded to upcalls.

  In the case of auth.unix.ip it isn't strictly necessary for a daemon to be
  running (for comparability with 2.4).

  You can get rid of the warning by doing:

    mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfs

  before mountd is started (init scripts should start doing this I hope, but
  distributions don't tend to use the init script from nfs-utils, so it is
  hard to push it).  This will trigger mountd to listen on auth.unix.ip and
  others.


That's a hassle, so Bruce's patch limits the warning purely to the new
idmapper cache.  It provides a callback in the cache_detail that individual
caches can use to log messages when upcalls fail because a userspace daemon
not running.  Implement this method for the idmapping caches.

Early in the boot process on pSeries machines, we look in the Open Firmware
device tree for information about the interrupt assignments, and assign
virtual IRQ numbers for each physical IRQ.  There is currently a couple of
bugs in this code which result in us assigning virtual IRQs for nonexistent
physical IRQs.  This causes problems when we call the firmware to enable or
disable those nonexistent physical IRQs.  Some versions at least of the
firmware will hit an assertion failure and crash the machine when this
happens.

This patch fixes the bugs and ensures that we don't try and use nonexistent
physical IRQ numbers.  One bug was that we were mapping ISA interrupts,
which is unnecessary since virtual IRQ numbers 0 - 15 are reserved for
them.  The other was that when we had a PCI interrupt (which is always in
the range 1 to 4, corresponding to INTA to INTD) which didn't have a
mapping in the PCI host bridge above it, we were just using the original
number (usually 1) rather than ignoring it.

We have cards that want over 2MB of PCI consistent memory.  The
IOMAP_MAX_ORDER limit is just to catch bad drivers early, so we can bump
this a bit.

We want some room to grow but our maximum get_free_pages allocation on
ppc64 is currently 16MB, so it doesnt make sense to go above that.

This patch allows us to dynamically add virtual disks to an iSeries partition.
 It works like this: after you have created the virtual disk file on OS/400
and attached it to the Linux partition, you need to write to
/sys/bus/vio/drivers/viodasd/probe (it doesn't matter what you write).  This
will do the probe.  It calls add_disk() for each new disk, so we get hotplug
events as a side effect.

This was the nicest way I could think of doing this as the interface to the
hypervisor is polled ...
