cfq-iosched: Allow RT requests to pre-empt ongoing BE timeslice
This patch adds the ability to pre-empt an ongoing BE timeslice when a RT
request is waiting for the current timeslice to complete. This reduces the
wait time to disk for RT requests from an upper bound of 4 (current value
of cfq_quantum) to 1 disk request.
Applied Jens' suggeested changes to avoid the rb lookup and use !cfq_class_rt()
and retested.
Latency(secs) for the RT task when doing sequential reads from 10G file.

include/linux: Add bsg.h to the Kernel exported headers
bsg.h in current form is perfectly suitable for user-mode

Currently the few projects that use it would copy it over into
the projects. But that is not acceptable for projects that need

ext4: Remove bogus BUG() check in ext4_bmap()
The code to support journal-less ext4 operation added a BUG to
ext4_bmap() which fired if there was no journal and the
EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit was set in the i_state field. This caused
running the filefrag program (which uses the FIMBAP ioctl) to trigger
a BUG().
The EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit is only used for ext4_bmap(), and it's
harmless for the bit to be set. We could add a check in
__ext4_journalled_writepage() and ext4_journalled_write_end() to only
set the EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit if the journal is present, but that adds
an extra test and jump instruction. It's easier to simply remove the
BUG check.

As of commit ba470de43188cdbff795b5da43a1474523c6c2fb ("map: handle

at the end of mmap_region() to handle the page-in of newly mapped
mlocked pages.
However, if we merged adjacent vma's together, the vma we're using may
be stale. We historically consciously avoided using it after the merge
operation, but that got overlooked when redoing the locked page
handling.
This commit simplifies mmap_region() by doing any vma merges early,
avoiding the issue entirely, and 'vma' will always be valid. As pointed
out by Hugh Dickins, this depends on any drivers that change the page
offset of flags to have set one of the VM_SPECIAL bits (so that they
cannot trigger the early merge logic), but that's true in general.

ieee1394: sbp2: add workarounds for 2nd and 3rd generation iPods
as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294391. These got one sample of
each iPod generation going. However there still occurred I/O stalls
with the 3rd generation iPod which remain undiagnosed at the time of

firewire: sbp2: add workarounds for 2nd and 3rd generation iPods
According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294391
- 3rd generation iPods need the "fix capacity" workaround after all
(apparently they crash after the last sector was accessed),
- 2nd generation iPods need the "128 kB maximum request size"
workaround.
Alas both iPod generations feature the same model ID in the config ROM,
hence we can only define a shared quirks list entry for them. Luckily
the fix capacity workaround did not show a negative effect in Jarod's
tests with 2nd gen. iPod.
A side note: Apple computers in target mode (or at least an x86 Mac
mini) don't have firmware_version and model_id, hence none of the iPod
quirks list entries is active for them.

ASoC: OMAP: Initialize XCCR and RCCR registers in McBSP DAI driver
This patch explicitly initializes McBSP Transmit Configuration
Control Register (XCCR) and Receive Configuration Control
Register (RCCR) to their reset values. Reset values are 26 ns
of DX delay and Transmit DMA disabled for XCCR register;
receive full cycle mode enabled and Receive DMA disabled for
RCCR register.
This patch requires a counterpart in OMAP McBSP driver before
to apply it. The required changes in McBSP were sent and approved
in linux-omap mailing list and patch is going upstream
(commit 3127f8f8595a064b3f1a1837fea2177902589ac3 from linux-omap-2.6

ASoC: Fix null string usage with WM8753 DAIs
The WM8753 driver multiplexes the DAI structures it exposes to the
outside world, leaving them uninitialised until the codec probes. Since
the DAI name is used during the registration and setup process provide a
dummy name.

xen: make sysfs files behave as their names suggest
1: make "target_kb" only accept and produce a memory size in kilobytes.
2: add a second "target" file which produces output in bytes, and will accept
memparse input (scaled bytes)
This fixes the rather irritating problem that writing the same value
read back into target_kb would end up shrinking the domain by a factor
of 1024, with generally bad results.
V4L/DVB (10385): gspca - main: Fix memory leak when USB disconnection while streaming.
Resetting the streaming flag on disconnection prevented the URBs to be freed
when streaming was active.
Also, USBs cannot be killed after disconnection (oops in [usbcore] unlink1).
The culprit in the trace is snd_pcm_action() which invokes a spin lock
which disables pre-emption which disables an IRQ which causes the
__might_sleep() function to fail the irqs_disabled() test. Since
pre-emption is enabled then it is safe to de-allocate the memory if
you first unlink each URB. In this instance you are safe since
pre-emption is disabled. If pre-emption and irqs are not disabled then
call usb_kill_urb(), else call usb_unlink_urb().
Thanks to Douglas for tracking down this bug originally!!!

These days TUNER_SET_CONFIG is broadcast to the other i2c devices
and that triggers a fw load on the cx25840. Ignore this command
since cx25840 isn't a tuner and you really do not want to load
the firmware that early.

V4L/DVB (10265): budget.c driver: Kernel oops: "BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff
I'm using a "Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T DVB card" of PCI id "13c2:1005" with
kernel 2.6.27.9.
I've recently experienced the following fairly consistent kernel oops on
startup in grundig_29504_401_tuner_set_params from budget.c. As you
might expect, following this failure, the card doesn't work.
I'm not a kernel developer, nevertheless I seem to have managed to track
this down to a non-existent initialisation of
budget->dvb_frontend->tuner_priv.
The attached patch fixes the problem for me (and I've managed to tune
the card successfully as a result), but I don't know of anyone else
using the driver so I can't test it on other people.
Please let me know if this works for you or if I've done something
terribly wrong ;-(
