moxa_write can be called from atomic context with irqs disabled (from
ppp_async_push). Don't enable interrupts by spin_unlock_bh as this
might cause deadlocks in the ppp layer.
Instead, use irqsave/irqrestore spin_lock functions.
Before 33dd474a, these were some kind of protection against race with
HUP. They were protected with port->tty_sem at the same time.
By that commit, the counting was switched to tty_port's one, but the
locking remained the old one. So the count was not protected by
any lock anymore.
The driver should not test whether it raced with HUP or not anyways.
With the new refcounted tty model, it just should proceed as nothing
happened because all needed info is still there. In respect to this,
let's drop the useless and unprotected tests (tty_port->count is
protected by tty_port->lock).
The allocation was moved to probe function in 9842c38e9176. And we can
sleep there. So allocate the 4*8192 bytes as GFP_KERNEL to mitigate
the allocation failure.

Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range

helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.
So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1"

In raid5 plugging is used for 2 things:
1/ collecting writes that require a bitmap update
2/ collecting writes in the hope that we can create full
stripes - or at least more-full.
We now release these different sets of stripes when plug_cnt
is zero.
Also in make_request, we call mddev_check_plug to hopefully increase
plug_cnt, and wake up the thread at the end if plugging wasn't
achieved for some reason.
md: provide generic support for handling unplug callbacks.
When an md device adds a request to a queue, it can call
mddev_check_plugged.
If this succeeds then we know that the md thread will be woken up
shortly, and ->plug_cnt will be non-zero until then, so some
processing can be delayed.
If it fails, then no unplug callback is expected and the make_request
function needs to do whatever is required to make the request happen.
md has some plugging infrastructure for RAID5 to use because the
normal plugging infrastructure required a 'request_queue', and when
called from dm, RAID5 doesn't have one of those available.
This relied on the ->unplug_fn callback which doesn't exist any more.
So remove all of that code, both in md and raid5. Subsequent patches
with restore the plugging functionality.
block: drop queue lock before calling __blk_run_queue() for kblockd punt
If we know we are going to punt to kblockd, we can drop the queue
lock before calling into __blk_run_queue() since it only does a
safe bit test and a workqueue call. Since kblockd needs to grab
this very lock as one of the first things it does, it's a good
optimization to drop the lock before waking kblockd.
Revert "block: add callback function for unplug notification"
MD can't use this since it really requires us to be able to
keep more than a single piece of state for the unplug. Commit 048c9374 added the required support for MD, so get rid of this
now unused code.

powerpc/perf_event: Skip updating kernel counters if register value shrinks
Because of speculative event roll back, it is possible for some event coutners
to decrease between reads on POWER7. This causes a problem with the way that
counters are updated. Delta calues are calculated in a 64 bit value and the
top 32 bits are masked. If the register value has decreased, this leaves us
with a very large positive value added to the kernel counters. This patch
protects against this by skipping the update if the delta would be negative.
This can lead to a lack of precision in the coutner values, but from my testing
the value is typcially fewer than 10 samples at a time.

block: make unplug timer trace event correspond to the schedule() unplug
It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering
would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new
scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is.
It's essentially the difference between an explicit unplug (IO unplug)
or an implicit unplug (timer unplug, we scheduled with pending IO
queued).
Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
we should be able to get the best of both worlds.
So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
and only use that from the schedule() path.

x86, amd: Disable GartTlbWlkErr when BIOS forgets it
This patch disables GartTlbWlk errors on AMD Fam10h CPUs if
the BIOS forgets to do is (or is just too old). Letting
these errors enabled can cause a sync-flood on the CPU
causing a reboot.
The AMD BKDG recommends disabling GART TLB Wlk Error completely.

vfs: Fix absolute RCU path walk failures due to uninitialized seq number
During RCU walk in path_lookupat and path_openat, the rcu lookup
frequently failed if looking up an absolute path, because when root
directory was looked up, seq number was not properly set in nameidata.
We dropped out of RCU walk in nameidata_drop_rcu due to mismatch in
directory entry's seq number. We reverted to slow path walk that need
to take references.
With the following patch, I saw a 50% increase in an exim mail server
benchmark throughput on a 4-socket Nehalem-EX system.

Btrfs: don't force chunk allocation in find_free_extent
find_free_extent likes to allocate in contiguous clusters,
which makes writeback faster, especially on SSD storage. As
the FS fragments, these clusters become harder to find and we have
to decide between allocating a new chunk to make more clusters
or giving up on the cluster to allocate from the free space
we have.
Right now it creates too many chunks, and you can end up with
a whole FS that is mostly empty metadata chunks. This commit
changes the allocation code to be more strict and only
allocate new chunks when we've made good use of the chunks we
already have.

The divede by zero is caused by the following line,
group->cpu_power==0:
kernel/sched_fair.c::update_sg_lb_stats()
/* Adjust by relative CPU power of the group */
sgs->avg_load = (sgs->group_load * SCHED_LOAD_SCALE) / group->cpu_power;
This regression was caused by commit e23bba6044 ("x86-64, NUMA: Unify
emulated distance mapping") because it changes cpu -> node
mapping in the process of dropping fake_physnodes().
old) all cpus are assinged node 0
now) cpus are assigned round robin
(the logic is implemented by numa_init_array())
Note: The change in behavior only happens if the system doesn't
have neither ACPI SRAT table nor AMD northbridge NUMA
information.
Round robin assignment doesn't work because init_numa_sched_groups_power()
assumes all logical cpus in the same physical cpu share the same node
(then it only accounts for group_first_cpu()), and the simple round robin
breaks the above assumption.
Thus, this patch implements a reassignment of node-ids if buggy firmware
or numa emulation makes wrong cpu node map. Tt enforce all logical cpus
in the same physical cpu share the same node.

futex: Set FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT during futex_wait restart setup
The FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT flag was not getting set, causing the restart_block to

Commit b41277dc7a18ee332d in 2.6.38 introduced the regression by accidentally
removing the the FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT assignment from futex_wait() during the setup
of the restart block. Restore the originaly behavior.

vfs: fix incorrect dentry_update_name_case() BUG_ON() test
The case we should be verifying when updating the dentry name is that
the _parent_ inode (the directory) semaphore is held, not the semaphore
for the dentry itself. It's the directory locking that rename and
readdir() etc all care about.
The comment just above even says so - but then the BUG_ON() still
checked the dentry inode itself.
Very few people noticed, because this helper function really isn't used
for very much, so you had to be using ncpfs to ever hit it.
I think I should just remove the BUG_ON (the function really has just
one user), but let's run with it fixed for a while before getting rid of
it entirely.

block: only force kblockd unplugging from the schedule() path
For the explicit unplugging, we'd prefer to kick things off
immediately and not pay the penalty of the latency to switch
to kblockd. So let blk_finish_plug() do the run inline, while
the implicit-on-schedule-out unplug will punt to kblockd.
It's a bit of a mess currently. task->plug is being cleared
and reset in __blk_finish_plug(), and blk_finish_plug() is
testing for a NULL plug which cannot happen even from schedule()
anymore since it uses blk_needs_flush_plug() to determine
whether to call into this function at all.

Without asm-generic/bug.h UML uses BUG() from arch/x86/ which makes use
of ud2. UML cannot use ud2, it raises SIGILL in user mode. As UML has
a different stack for handling signals the call trace will be cut off.
