      cfq-iosched: fix rcu freeing of cfq io contexts · 34e6bbf2
      Fabio Checconi authored
      SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is not a direct substitute for normal call_rcu()
      freeing, since it'll page freeing but NOT object freeing. So change
      cfq to do the freeing on its own.

      Fix bounce setting for 64-bit · 00d61e3e
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      Looking a bit closer into this regression the reason this can't be
      right is that dma_addr common default is BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH and most
      machines have less than 4G. So if you do:
      
          if (b_pfn <= (min_t(u64, 0xffffffff, BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH) >> PAGE_SHIFT))
      	dma = 1
      
      that will translate to:
      
           if (BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH <= BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH)
           	dma = 1
      
      So for 99% of hardware this will trigger unnecessary GFP_DMA
      allocations and isa pooling operations.
      
      Also note how the 32bit code still does b_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn.
      
      I guess this is what you were looking after. I didn't verify but as
      far as I can tell, this will stop the regression with isa dma
      operations at boot for 99% of blkdev/memory combinations out there and
      I guess this fixes the setups with >4G of ram and 32bit pci cards as
      well (this also retains symmetry with the 32bit code).
