Updates the reiserfs-logging improvements to use schedule_timeout instead of
yield when letting the transaction grow a little before forcing a commit for
fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT.

Also, when one process forces a transaction to end and plans on doing the
commit (like fsync), it sets a flag on the transaction so the journal code
knows not to bother kicking the journal work queue.

queue_delayed_work is used so that if we get a bunch of tiny transactions
ended quickly, we aren't constantly kicking the work queue.

These significantly improve reiserfs performance during fsync heavy
workloads.

From: Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk>

Add support for value 0 to the commit option of reiserfs.  Means "restore
to the default value".  For the maximum commit age, this default value is
normally read from the journal; this patch adds an extra variable to cache
the default value for the maximum commit age.

This is a small cleanup to the PPC64 hugepage code.  It removes an
unhelpful function, removing some studlyCaps in the process.  It was
originally this way to match the normal page path, but that has all been
rewritten since.

From: Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>

The first change removes just a useless put_user (si_int and si_ptr are
part of the same union, si_ptr is on all arches covering whole union), the
rest is fixes for signal handling of SI_MESGQ.

From: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

It was debug code, no longer required.

This consolidates the PCI MSI configuration into drivers/pci/Kconfig,
removing it from the i386, x86_64, and ia64 Kconfig.

It also changes the default for ia64 from "y" to "n".  The default on i386
is "n" already, and I'm not sure why ia64 should be different.

Nobody ever checks the return value of submit_bh(), and submit_bh() is the
only caller that checks the submit_bio() return value.

This changes the kernel I/O submission path -- a fast path -- so this
cleanup is also a microoptimization.

From: Andros: Implement server-side reboot recovery (server now handles
open and lock reclaims).  Not completely to spec: we don't yet store the
state in stable storage that would be required to recover correctly in
certain situations.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>

The credentials (uid/gid) of a process are set when a filehandle is
verified.  Nfsv4 allows requests without an explicit filehandle (instead,
an implicit 'root' filehandle) so we much make sure the credentials are set
for these requests too.

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

From: Andros: added a call to nfsd_setuser in nfsd4_putrootfh so that nfsd
runs as the rpc->cred user.

From: Andros: Hold state_lock longer so the stateowner doesn't diseappear
out from under us before we get the chance to encode the replay.  Don't
attempt to save replay if we failed to find a stateowner.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>

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

From: Andros: locku replies should be saved for possible replay as well.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>

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

From: Andros: Idea is to keep around a list of openowners recently released
by closes, and make sure they stay around long enough so that replays still
work.

dm-ioctl.c::retrieve_status(): Prevent overrunning the ioctl buffer by making
sure we don't call the target status routine with a buffer size limit of
zero.  [Kevin Corry, Alasdair Kergon]

From: Kevin Corry <kevcorry@us.ibm.com>

Clarify the comment regarding the "next" field in struct dm_target_spec.  The
"next" field has different behavior if you're performing a DM_TABLE_STATUS
command than it does if you're performing a DM_TABLE_LOAD command.

See populate_table() and retrieve_status() in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c for more
details on how this field is used.

From: Kevin Corry <kevcorry@us.ibm.com>

From: Kevin Corry <kevcorry@us.ibm.com>

Fix 64/32 bit ioctl problems.

The recent controlling terminal changes broke exec from multithreaded
application because de_thread was not upgraded to new arrangement.  I
know that I should not have LD_PRELOAD library which automatically
creates one thread, but it looked like a cool solution to the problem I
had.

de_thread must initialize the controlling terminal information in the
new thread group.

The just merged openpromfs remount patch contains a silly typo in the
field of the super_operations structure.

Fixed like this.

When the pcnet32 adapter is installed in a system with long PCI latency
and the read burst bit is not set, performance on transmission is very
low (under 20Mbit on a 100Mbit link).  This patch against 2.6.6-rc1 will
make sure that read and write bursts are enabled.  Tested on ppc64 and
ia32.

Noticed by Roger Luethi, via-rhine maintainer.

Many binutils versions over the last year appear to silently build
assembler files with undefined constants, and able to successfully
create executables from such files.  The assembler appears to add
undefined symbols to the symbol table without any corresponding
relocation information.  Obviously this is bad news since the
resulting executable may not be what the programmer intended.
Work around the problem by forcing the linker to fail if there are
any undefined symbols in the final object(s).
