synchronous lumpy reclaim: wait for page writeback when directly reclaiming contiguous areas
Lumpy reclaim works by selecting a lead page from the LRU list and then
selecting pages for reclaim from the order-aligned area of pages. In the
situation were all pages in that region are inactive and not referenced by any
process over time, it works well.
In the situation where there is even light load on the system, the pages may
not free quickly. Out of a area of 1024 pages, maybe only 950 of them are
freed when the allocation attempt occurs because lumpy reclaim returned early.
This patch alters the behaviour of direct reclaim for large contiguous
blocks.
The first attempt to call shrink_page_list() is asynchronous but if it fails,
the pages are submitted a second time and the calling process waits for the IO
to complete. This may stall allocators waiting for contiguous memory but that
should be expected behaviour for high-order users. It is preferable behaviour
to potentially queueing unnecessary areas for IO. Note that kswapd will not
stall in this fashion.

synchronous lumpy reclaim: ensure we count pages transitioning inactive via clear_active_flags
As pointed out by Mel when reclaim is applied at higher orders a significant
amount of IO may be started. As this takes finite time to drain reclaim will
consider more areas than ultimatly needed to satisfy the request. This leads
to more reclaim than strictly required and reduced success rates.
I was able to confirm Mel's test results on systems locally. These show that
even under light load the success rates drop off far more than expected.
Testing with a modified version of his patch (which follows) I was able to
allocate almost all of ZONE_MOVABLE with a near idle system. I ran 5 test
passes sequentially following system boot (the system has 29 hugepages in
ZONE_MOVABLE):
2.6.23-rc1 11 8 6 7 7
sync_lumpy 28 28 29 29 26
These show that although hugely better than the near 0% success normally
expected we can only allocate about a 1/4 of the zone. Using synchronous
reclaim for these allocations we get close to 100% as expected.
I have also run our standard high order tests and these show no regressions in
allocation success rates at rest, and some significant improvements under
load.
This patch:
We are transitioning pages from active to inactive in clear_active_flags,
those need counting as PGDEACTIVATE vm events.

The current implementation spews garbage out the bootconsole in this case,
since the bootconsole structure is normally in the init section, and is

Programming DMA mode may destroy current PIO mode setting so if
CONFIG_HPT34X_AUTODMA=n (the default case) make ide_tune_dma() fail
early by disabling all host DMA masks and re-tune PIO mode.
This fix doesn't help with the driver being broken but is needed
for some other changes.
ide: add cable detection for early UDMA66 devices (take 3)
* Move ide_in_drive_list() from ide-dma.c to ide-iops.c.
* Add ivb_list[] table for listening early UDMA66 devices which don't conform
to ATA4 standard wrt cable detection (bit14 is zero, only bit13 is valid)
and use only device side cable detection for them since host side cable
detection may be unreliable.
* Add model "QUANTUM FIREBALLlct10 05" with firwmare "A03.0900" to the list
(from Craig's bugreport).
v2:
* Improve kernel message basing on suggestion from Sergei.
v3:
* Don't print kernel message when no device side cable detection is done,
plus some minor fixes. (Noticed by Sergei)
* Add DMA blacklist checking (->ide_dma_on check probably can go now).
* Add ->atapi_dma flag checking and remove no longer needed
ns87415_ide_dma_check() from ns87415 host driver.
* Remove now needless __ide_dma_check() wrapper and symbol export.
* Check drive->autodma instead of hwif->autodma (there should be no changes in
behavior as all users of config_drive_for_dma() set both ->autodma flags).
ide: fix hidden dependencies on CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC
Some host drivers depend on CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC to do the probing but their
config options lack explicit dependencies on IDE_GENERIC. In the long-term
these host drivers should be fixed to do the probing themselves but for now
fix them by making their config options select CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC.

V4L/DVB (6027): Get rid of an ill-behaved msleep in i2c write
Configuring the OLPC camera requires something over 150 register
writes. Unfortunately, querying the CAFE i2c controller too
soon after a write causes the hardware to flake. The problem had
been "solved" with an msleep() call, but, between the number of
registers and how msleep() behaves, that resulted in a 3-second
delay on camera initialization. Instead, we hand-code a wait for
the completion interrupt which avoids reading the status registers.

When taking a cpu down, we need to hardware_disable() it.

Fortunately, the CPU_DYING notifier is always called on the dying cpu,

x86: properly initialize temp insn buffer for paravirt patching
With commit ab144f5ec64c42218a555ec1dbde6b60cf2982d6 the patching code
now collects the complete new instruction stream into a temp buffer
before finally patching in the new insns. In some cases the paravirt
patchers will choose to leave the patch site unpatched (length mismatch,
clobbers mismatch, etc).
This causes the new patching code to copy an uninitialized temp buffer,
i.e. garbage, to the callsite. Simply make sure to always initialize
the buffer with the original instruction stream. A better fix is to
audit all the patchers and return proper length so that apply_paravirt()
can skip copies when we leave the patch site untouched.

fix random hang in forcedeth driver when using netconsole
If the forcedeth driver receives too much work in an interrupt, it
assumes it has a broken hardware with stuck IRQ. It works around the
problem by disabling interrupts on the nic but makes a printk while
holding device spinlog - which isn't smart thing to do if you have
netconsole on the same nic.
This patch moves the printk's out of the spinlock protected area.
Without this patch the machine hangs hard. With this patch everything
still works even when there is significant increase on CPU usage while
using the nic.

i386: Fix a couple busy loops in mach_wakecpu.h:wait_for_init_deassert()
Use cpu_relax() in the busy loops, as atomic_read() doesn't automatically
imply volatility for i386 and x86_64. x86_64 doesn't have this issue because
it open-codes the while loop in smpboot.c:smp_callin() itself that already
uses cpu_relax().
For i386, however, smpboot.c:smp_callin() calls wait_for_init_deassert()
which is buggy for mach-default and mach-es7000 cases.
[ I test-built a kernel -- smp_callin() itself got inlined in its only
callsite, smpboot.c:start_secondary() -- and the relevant piece of
code disassembles to the following:
