Found by the new Stanford locking checker.

Minimal fix for a deadlock in sysvfs: get_branch() can take
read_lock(&pointers_lock), but one caller already has a write_lock.

Perhaps some of the "oh we raced, drop everything and try again" logic in
there can go away now, but this is enugh to fix the obvious deadlock.

I did some simple benchmarking (time cat linux-2.6.7-mm5/MAINTAINERS)
between 2.4 and 2.6 and I am not satisfied with what I see (It's claimed
that fbdev-2.6 is faster than 2.4).  The reason for the claim:

2.4 putcs - draw small amounts of data a lot of times
2.6 putcs - draw larger amounts of data a fewer times

The way characters are drawn in 2.6 is optimal for accelerated drivers but
should also give a speed boost for drivers that rely on software drawing.
However the penaly incurred when preparing a large bitmap from a number of
small bitmaps is currently very high.  This is because of the following
reasons:

1 fb_move_buf_{aligned|unaligned} uses pixmap->{out|in}buf.  This is very
  expensive since outbuf and inbuf methods process only a byte or 2 of data
  at a time.

2 fb_sys_outbuf (the default method for pixmap->outbuf) uses memcpy().
  Not a good choice if moving only a few bytes.

3 fb_move_buf_unaligned (used for fonts such as 12x22) also involves a
  lot of bit operations + a lot of calls to outbuf/inbuf which
  proportionately increases the penaly.

So, I thought of separating fb_move_buf_* to fb_iomove_buf_* and
fb_sysmove_buf_*. 

	fb_iomove_buf_* - used if drivers specified outbuf and inbuf methods
	fb_sysmove_buf_* - used if drivers have no outbuf or inbuf methods

	*Most, if not all drivers fall in the second category.

Below is a table that show differences between 2.4, 2.6 and 2.6 +
abovementioned changes.  To reduce the effect of panning and

Summary:

1 2.6 unaccelerated is a bit faster than 2.4 when handling 8x16 fonts,
  with a higher speed differential at high color depths.

2 2.4 unaccelerated is a bit faster than 2.6 when handling 12x22 fonts,
  with a smaller speed difference at high color depths (2.6 is actually a
  bit faster than 2.4 at 32bpp).

3 2.4 rivafb accelerated suffers at high color depths, even becoming
  slower than unaccelerated, possibly because of the 'draw few bytes many
  times' method.

4 2.6 rivafb accelerated has similar performance at any color depth,
  possibly because of 'draw lots of bytes a fewer times' method.

5 With the changes, there is a speed gain of ~1.7 seconds and ~5.7
  seconds with 8x16 and 12x22 fonts respectively indepependent of the color
  depth or acceleration used.  The speed gain is constant but significant.

Below is a patch against 2.6.7-mm5.  The effects will be very noticeable
with drivers that uses SCROLL_REDRAW, but one should still see some speed
gain even if SCROLL_YPAN/YWRAP is used.


Separated fb_sys_move_* into fb_iosys_move_* and fb_sysmove_* to reduce
penalty when constructing fb_image->data from character maps.  In my
testcase (1024x768 SCROLL_REDRAW), I get a ~1.7 second advantage with 'time
cat MAINTAINERS' using 8x16 fonts and ~5.7 seconds with 12x22 fonts.  The
speed gain is independent of acceleration or color depth.

SuSE discovered this problem with chown and ATTR_GID.  Make sure user
is authorized to change the group, CAN-2004-0497.

It's one of the rare files that has almost no includes
what-so-ever, so it actually never got NULL any other
way.

Two years ago, OGAWA Hirofumi removed some ugly code and
added a few simple tests to the FAT filesystem code,
intended to avoid recognizing non-FAT as FAT (for people who
fail to specify rootfstype=, forcing the kernel to guess).

That worked fairly well, until this year.

I have now seen a thread in Czech and a report from Holland that
involved the "FAT: bogus sectors-per-track value" error message.

The patch below removes this test again. The advantage is that
some real-life FAT filesystems can be mounted again.

The disadvantage that more non-FAT fss will be accepted as FAT.

Please review and apply the following patch if you find it agreeable.

This patch does not make any functional changes, but does improve
both performance and memory usage by rearranging structure elements.

The need for these changes became appearent during a code review of
the disassembly involving this structure. The memory footprint of this
structure is made smaller by grouping the byte fields next to each other.
The access of the list_head can be simplified by making it the first element
of the structure, thus avoiding a needless add-immediate without negatively
impacting any of the other accesses.

This patch adds some PCI Express register constants to <linux/pci.h>

For my device, setting the Max_Read_Request_Size value in the PCI
Express device control register makes a huge performance difference.
I wanted my driver code that does this to be a little more
self-documenting than:

	pci_read_config_word(mdev->pdev, cap + 8, &val);
	val = (val & ~(5 << 12)) | (5 << 12);

I went a little overboard and added all the basic device register
fields.  If desired I could go even further overboard and add the
link, slot and root registers as well.

This patch is based on Matthew Wilcox's patch for pciutils, corrected
for some PCI Express spec 1.0a changes.
