[IA64] Update check_sal_cache_flush to use platform_send_ipi()
check_sal_cache_flush is used to detect broken firmware that drops
pending interrupts.
The old implementation schedules a timer interrupt for itself in
the future by getting the current value of the Interval Timer
Counter + 1000 cycles, waits for the interrupt to be pended, calls
SAL_CACHE_FLUSH, and finally checks to see if the interrupt is
still pending.
This implementation can cause problems for virtual machine code if
the process of scheduling the timer interrupt takes more than 1000
cycles; the virtual machine can end up sleeping for several hundred
years while waiting for the ITC to wrap around.
The fix is to use platform_send_ipi. The processor will still send
an interrupt to itself, using the IA64_IPI_DM_INT delivery mode,
which causes the IPI to look like an external interrupt. The rest
of the SAL_CACHE_FLUSH + checking to see if the interrupt is still
pending remains unchanged.
This fix has been boot tested successfully on:
- intel tiger2
- hp rx6600
- hp rx5670
The rx5670 has known buggy firmware, where SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops
pending interrupts. A boot test on this machine showed this message
on the console:
SAL: SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops interrupts; PAL_CACHE_FLUSH will be used instead
Which proves that the self-inflicted IPI approach is viable. And
as expected, the other tested platforms correctly did not display
the warning.

able to look up partitions that had not yet been registered, but in the
process made the assumption that the '&block_class.devices' list only
contains disk devices and that you can do 'dev_to_disk(dev)' on them.
That isn't actually true. The block_class device list also contains the
partitions we've discovered so far, and you can't just do a
'dev_to_disk()' on those.
So make sure to only work on devices that block/genhd.c has registered
itself, something we can test by checking the 'dev->type' member. This
makes the loop in blk_lookup_devt() match the other such loops in this

the completion structure was not extended with a field for the key
contained in incoming send with invalidate requests.
Full support for memory management extensions (send with invalidate,
local invalidate, fast register through a send queue, etc) is planned
for 2.6.27. Since send with invalidate is not very useful by itself,
just remove the IB_DEVICE_SEND_W_INV bit before the 2.6.26 final

IB/umem: Avoid sign problems when demoting npages to integer
On a 64-bit architecture, if ib_umem_get() is called with a size value
that is so big that npages is negative when cast to int, then the
length of the page list passed to get_user_pages(), namely
will be negative, and get_user_pages() will immediately return 0 (at
least since 900cf086, "Be more robust about bad arguments in
get_user_pages()"). This leads to an infinite loop in ib_umem_get(),
since the code boils down to:
while (npages) {
ret = get_user_pages(...);
npages -= ret;
}
Fix this by taking the minimum as unsigned longs, so that the value of
npages is never truncated.
The impact of this bug isn't too severe, since the value of npages is
checked against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, so a process would need to have an
astronomical limit or have CAP_IPC_LOCK to be able to trigger this,
and such a process could already cause lots of mischief. But it does
let buggy userspace code cause a kernel lock-up; for example I hit
this with code that passes a negative value into a memory registartion
function where it is promoted to a huge u64 value.

Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented

How to format kernel-doc comments

atmel_serial: filter out FP during baud rate detection
I made a change to u-boot that used the FP (Fractional Part) field of BRGR
to achieve more accurate baud rate generation. Unfortunately, the
atmel_serial driver looks at the whole BRGR register when trying to detect
the baud rate that the port is currently running at, so setting FP to a
nonzero value breaks the baud rate detection.
I'll sit on the u-boot patch for a while longer, but this is clearly a
bug in the atmel_serial driver which should be fixed.

I first thought of using an audit_log instead of a printk, as suggested by

Another example - consider you added 10 'c foo:bar r' permissions to some

This is weird. This situation also has one more annoying consequence.
Having many items in a white list makes permissions checking slower, sine
it has to walk a longer list.

Two functions, that need to get a device_cgroup from a task (they are

They get a css_set from task, then a subsys_state from css_set, then a
cgroup from the state and then a subsys_state again from the cgroup.
Besides, the devices_subsys_id is read from memory, whilst there's a
enum-ed constant for it.
Optimize this part a bit:
1. Get the subsys_stats form the task and be done - no 2 extra
dereferences,
2. Use the device_subsys_id constant, not the value from memory
(i.e. one less dereference).
