Did not fix the reported issue. Apart from other weirdness this causes a
bad link between the TLB flushing logic and the quicklists. If there is
indeed an issue that an arch needs a tlb flush before free then the arch

Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was

This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion.
But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that
ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration.
This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on)

Some users do "modprobe ip_conntrack hashsize=...". Since we have the
module aliases this loads nf_conntrack_ipv4 and nf_conntrack, the
hashsize parameter is unknown for nf_conntrack_ipv4 however and makes
it fail.
Allow to specify hashsize= for both nf_conntrack and nf_conntrack_ipv4.
Note: the nf_conntrack message in the ringbuffer will display an
incorrect hashsize since nf_conntrack is first pulled in as a
dependency and calculates the size itself, then it gets changed
through a call to nf_conntrack_set_hashsize().

tty: fix logic change introduced by wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
Commit 5a52bd4a2dcb570333ce6fe2e16cd311650dbdc8 introduced a subtle logic
change in tty_wait_until_sent(). The original version would only error out
of the 'do { ... } while (timeout)' loop if signal_pending() evaluated to
true; a timeout or break due to an empty buffer would fall out of the loop
and into the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling. The current
implementation will error out on either a pending signal or an empty
buffer, falling through to the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling only
on a timeout.
The ->wait_until_sent() will not be reached if the buffer empties before
timeout jiffies have elapsed. This behavior differs from that prior to commit 5a52bd4a2dcb570333ce6fe2e16cd311650dbdc8.
I turned this up while using a little serial download utility to bootstrap an
ARM-based eval board. The util worked fine on 2.6.22.x, but consistently
failed on 2.6.23.x. Once I'd determined that, I narrowed things down with git
bisect, and found the above difference in logic in tty_wait_until_sent() by
inspection.
This change reverts the logic flow in tty_wait_until_sent() to match that
prior to the aforementioned commit.

not trigger the batch increment and the value will be identical on the next

Fix this by rewriting the division as a single subtraction instead of a

The latter is still needed if we want pl->events to shrink properly in the
