With irqpoll enabled, trying to test the IRQF_IRQPOLL flag in the actions would cause a NULL pointer dereference if no action was installed (for example, the driver might have been unloaded with interrupts still pending). So be a bit more careful about testing the flag by making sure to test for that case. (The actual _change_ is trivial, the patch is more than a one-liner because I rewrote the testing to also be much more readable. Original (discarded) bugfix by Bernhard Walle.

We only need to dirty the pages that were actually read in. Also convert nfs_direct_dirty_pages() to call set_page_dirty() instead of set_page_dirty_lock(). A call to lock_page() is unacceptable in an rpciod callback function. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

This patch fixes a couple of signage issues that were causing an Oops when running the LTP diotest4 test. get_user_pages() returns a signed error, hence we need to be careful when comparing with the unsigned number of pages from data->npages.

When processes are allowed to attempt to lock a non-contiguous range of nfs write requests, it is possible for generic_writepages to 'wrap round' the address space, and call writepage() on a request that is already locked by the same process. We avoid the deadlock by checking if the page index is contiguous with the list of nfs write requests that is already held in our nfs_pageio_descriptor prior to attempting to lock a new request.

Allow in-place crypto operations. Also remove the coherent user flag (we use it automagically now), and by default use the user written key rather then the HW hidden key - this makes crypto just work without any special considerations, and thats OK, since its our only usage model.

The NOHZ patch contains a check for softirqs pending when a CPU goes idle. The BUG is unrelated to NOHZ, it just was made visible by the NOHZ patch. The BUG showed up mainly on P4 / hyperthreading enabled machines which lead the investigations into the wrong direction in the first place. The real cause is in cond_resched_softirq(): cond_resched_softirq() is enabling softirqs without invoking the softirq daemon when softirqs are pending. This leads to the warning message in the NOHZ idle code: t1 runs softirq disabled code on CPU#0 interrupt happens, softirq is raised, but deferred (softirqs disabled) t1 calls cond_resched_softirq() enables softirqs via _local_bh_enable() calls schedule() t2 runs t1 is migrated to CPU#1 t2 is done and invokes idle() NOHZ detects the pending softirq Fix: change _local_bh_enable() to local_bh_enable() so the softirq daemon is invoked.

Adding a drive to a linear array seems to have stopped working, due to changes elsewhere in md, and insufficient ongoing testing...

If a raid0 has a component device larger than 4TB, and is accessed on a 32bit machines, then as 'chunk' is unsigned long, chunk << chunksize_bits can overflow (this can be as high as the size of the device in KB). chunk itself will not overflow (without triggering a BUG). So change 'chunk' to be 'sector_t, and get rid of the 'BUG' as it becomes impossible to hit.

Gathering signals in bulk enables server applications to drain a signal queue (almost full of realtime signals) more efficiently by reducing the syscall and file look-up overhead.
