Ack'd by Russell King as well.

We should amend that test for zombies to include the "dead" state as
well.

 Having necessary resources, I've decided to take over the maintenance of
the defxx driver for the PDQ-based family of DEC FDDI controllers (the
DEFEA for EISA and the DEFPA for PCI are the models currently handled).

I've talked to Larry, the original author and the last maintainer of the
code, and he's said he'd be happy about it.  He's asked me to update his
long-outdated contact information.

Here is a patch to update the driver to the PCI version of the DMA API.

The patch includes appropriate status and contact information updates.

XFS wants to use page->private as a bitmap of uptodate indicators for
sub-page-sized blocks (which is one of the things ->provate was intended
for).

But someone needs to initialise ->private somewhere.  best to do it in the
page allocator, so the zeroness of a new page's ->private becomes a
system-wide thing.

I've found a race in the mtrr ipi_handler() and set_mtrr() functions.

Basically the server, set_mtrr() does the following:

  1.1 initialize a flag
  1.2 send ipi
  1.3 waits for all cpus to check in
  1.4 toggle flag
  1.5 do stuff
  1.6 wait for all cpus to check out
  1.7 toggle flag again
  1.8 return

While the clients, running ipi_handler() do the following:

  2.1 check in
  2.2 wait for flag
  2.3 do stuff
  2.4 check out
  2.5 wait for flag
  2.6 return

The problem is the flag is on the servers stack! So if 1.7 and 1.8
executes before 2.5 happens, the client's pointer to the flag becomes
invalid (likely overwritten) which causes the client to never see the
flag change, hanging the box.

The patch fixes that by adding a final synchronisation step in which the
controlling CPU waits for all the IPI'ed CPUs to complete.

ia64_mv_irq_desc returns a 'struct irq_desc', which had a forward declaration
but did not actually exist.  We're currently using a silly anonymous struct
typedefed to irq_desc_t.

Now add the structure name as well.

Teach journal_get_write_access() and journal_get_undo_access() to handle
aborted trasaction handles.

a) Fixes bug 858 (http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=858)

   The problem was caused by round off error in calculating the correct
   jiffies value in micro seconds to do the round up to jiffies.  The fix
   is to do the round up AFTER conversion to jiffies, rather than before.
   This only affected the timeval to jiffies calculation.

b) Changed the scale values to get the highest possible precision short
   of going to full 64-bit math.  This is particularly useful in the
   scaling of the seconds part of time.  The code now computes a trial
   value at compile time and adjusts the scaling if the result is less than
   32 bits.

c) Adds comments to time.h to remove (I hope) ALL the confusion that
   this file use to generate.

From: Peter Chubb <peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au>

Currently, do_setitimer() is used in several files, but doesn't appear
in any header.  Thus its declaration is repeated in some files, and
its use causes a warning in others (because there is no declaration
present).

This patch:
     -- adds a couple of declarations to linux/times.h
     -- removes the (now duplicate) declarations from other files.

NMI watchdog is nowadays supported on x86-64, too. The nmi-watchdog.txt
document doesn't mention this. Here is a patch to add a few words on that.

From: jbarnes@sgi.com (Jesse Barnes)

Currently, free_all_bootmem_core() assumes that the bdata for a given
node will begin where the node's memory map begins.  This isn't
necessarily true on machines that use a virtual memory map (e.g. ia64
discontig machines), so we fix page to point to the first actual page of
RAM on the node, which _does_ contain the bdata struct.

hwgfs needs lookup_create(), and intermezzo already has copied it.

Document it, export it to modules and fix intermezzo.

In some cases panic can be called with interrupts off.  Don't trigger the
NMI watchdog in this case when a panic= parameter is specified.

From: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>

This only checks in the non-__ versions, as those are occassionally
called inside things like kmap_atomic pairs which take a spinlock in
with highmem. It's all conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP
(which isn't quite the right name) so there's no overhead for normal
builds.

cdrom_decode_status() can call cdrom_end_request() twice.  The second call
oopses because the first call destroyed the request.

Fix it to only call cdrom_end_request() once.

Jens has acked this change.

move_one_page() is awkward.  It grabs an atomic_kmap of the source pte
(because it needs to know if there's really a page there) and then it needs
to allocate a pte for the dest.  But it cannot allocate the dest pte while
holding the src's atomic kmap.

So it performs this little dance peeking at pagetables to predict if
alloc_one_pte_map() might need to perform a pte page allocation.

When I wrote this code I made it conditional on CONFIG_HIGHPTE.  But that was
bogus: even in the !CONFIG_HIGHPTE case, get_one_pte_map_nested() will run
atomic_kmap() against the pte page, which disables preemption.

Net effect: with CONFIG_HIGHMEM && !CONFIG_HIGHPTE we can end up performing a
GFP_KERNEL pte page allocation while preemption is disabled.  It triggers a
might_sleep() warning and indeed is buggy.

So the patch removes the conditionality: even in the !CONFIG_HIGHPTE case we
still do the pagetable peek and drop the kmap if necessary.

(Arguably, we shouldn't be performing the atomic_kmap() at all if
!CONFIG_HIGHPTE: all it does is a pointless preemption disable).

(Arguably, kmap_atomic() should not be disabling preemption if the target
page is not highmem.  But we're doing it anyway at present for consistency
(ie: debug coverage) and because the filemap.c pagecache copying functions
rely on kmap_atomic() disabling do_no_page() for all pages: see
do_no_page()'s use of in_atomic()).

The new emergency remount path forgot to take lock_kernel(), which is
required for ->remount_fs().

This patch (originally by Chris Mason) fixes link/unlink races in reiserfs.

From: Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>

This patch fixes various bad stuff that happens when you write to full or
almost full reiserfs filesystem.

From: Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>

This small patch fixes a savelinks problem on bigendian platforms, where
savelinks were not working at all because of incorrect cpu->disk endianness
conversion.

Savelinks are used on reiserfs to remember "truncate" and "unlink" events
so that if crash happens in the middle of truncate/unlink, we do not endup
with lost or half truncated files.

Some architectures define an extern function called resume(), which
clashes with a static function in dm-ioctl-v4.c.  Rename static one to
do_resume().
