sched: favour lower logical cpu number for sched_mc balance
Impact: change load-balancing direction to match that of irqbalanced
Just in case two groups have identical load, prefer to move load to lower
logical cpu number rather than the present logic of moving to higher logical
number.
find_busiest_group() tries to look for a group_leader that has spare capacity
to take more tasks and freeup an appropriate least loaded group. Just in case
there is a tie and the load is equal, then the group with higher logical number
is favoured. This conflicts with user space irqbalance daemon that will move
interrupts to lower logical number if the system utilisation is very low.

sched: framework for sched_mc/smt_power_savings=N
Impact: extend range of /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
Currently the sched_mc/smt_power_savings variable is a boolean,
which either enables or disables topology based power savings.
This patch extends the behaviour of the variable from boolean to
multivalued, such that based on the value, we decide how
aggressively do we want to perform powersavings balance at
appropriate sched domain based on topology.
Variable levels of power saving tunable would benefit end user to
match the required level of power savings vs performance
trade-off depending on the system configuration and workloads.
This version makes the sched_mc_power_savings global variable to
take more values (0,1,2). Later versions can have a single
tunable called sched_power_savings instead of
sched_{mc,smt}_power_savings.
sched: convert BALANCE_FOR_xx_POWER to inline functions
Impact: cleanup
BALANCE_FOR_MC_POWER and similar macros defined in sched.h are
not constants and have various condition checks and significant
amount of code that is not suitable to be contain in a macro.
Also there could be side effects on the expressions passed to
some of them like test_sd_parent().
This patch converts all complex macros related to power savings
balance to inline functions.

x86: fix cpu_mask_to_apicid_and to include cpu_online_mask
Impact: fix potential APIC crash
In determining the destination apicid, there are usually three cpumasks
that are considered: the incoming cpumask arg, cfg->domain and the
cpu_online_mask. Since we are just introducing the cpu_mask_to_apicid_and
function, make sure it includes the cpu_online_mask in it's evaluation.
[Added with this patch.]
There are two io_apic.c functions that did not previously use the
cpu_online_mask: setup_IO_APIC_irq and msi_compose_msg. Both of these
simply used cpu_mask_to_apicid(cfg->domain & TARGET_CPUS), and all but
one arch (NUMAQ[*]) returns only online cpus in the TARGET_CPUS mask,
so the behavior is identical for all cases.
[*: NUMAQ bug?]
Note that alloc_cpumask_var is only used for the 32-bit cases where
it's highly likely that the cpumask set size will be small and therefore
CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n. But if that's not the case, failing the allocate
will cause the same return value as the default.

powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Fix MSI after kexec
Commit d015fe995 'powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Retry on missing interrupt'
has turned a rare failure to kexec on QS22 into a reproducible
error, which we have now analysed.
The problem is that after a kexec, the MSIC hardware still points
into the middle of the old ring buffer. We set up the ring buffer
during reboot, but not the offset into it. On older kernels, this
would cause a storm of thousands of spurious interrupts after a
kexec, which would most of the time get dropped silently.
With the new code, we time out on each interrupt, waiting for
it to become valid. If more interrupts come in that we time
out on, this goes on indefinitely, which eventually leads to
a hard crash.
The solution in this commit is to read the current offset from
the MSIC when reinitializing it. This now works correctly, as
expected.

powerpc: Fix bootmem reservation on uninitialized node
careful_allocation() was calling into the bootmem allocator for
nodes which had not been fully initialized and caused a previous
bug: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/10528/ So, I merged a
few broken out loops in do_init_bootmem() to fix it. That changed
the code ordering.
I think this bug is triggered by having reserved areas for a node
which are spanned by another node's contents. In the
mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() code, we attempt to reserve the
area for a node before we have allocated the NODE_DATA() for that
nid. We do this since I reordered that loop. I suck.
This is causing crashes at bootup on some systems, as reported
by Jon Tollefson.
This may only present on some systems that have 16GB pages
reserved. But, it can probably happen on any system that is
trying to reserve large swaths of memory that happen to span other
nodes' contents.
This commit ensures that we do not touch bootmem for any node which
has not been initialized, and also removes a compile warning about

When a cgroup is removed, it's unlinked from its parent's children list,
but not actually freed until the last dentry on it is released (at which

Currently rebind_subsystems checks for the top cgroup's child list being

result in the set of subsystems bound to a hierarchy being

slob: do not pass the SLAB flags as GFP in kmem_cache_create()
The kmem_cache_create() function in the slob allocator passes the SLAB
flags as GFP flags to the slob_alloc() function. The patch changes this
call to pass GFP_KERNEL as the other allocators seem to do.

The commit e099a173573ce1ba171092aee7bb3c72ea686e59
(netfilter: netns nat: per-netns NAT table) renamed the
nat_table from __nat_table to nat_table without updating the
__RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED(__nat_table.lock).

x86 Fix VMI crash on boot in 2.6.28-rc8
VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to
malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation. To fix this,
VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must
happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen
after parsing early boot parameters.
This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware.

FireWire Hard Drive 1TB reports max_rom=2 but returns garbage if block

We got interrupted after setting up the MAS registers before the
tlbwe and the interrupt handler that caused the interrupt also did
a kmap_atomic (ide code) and thus on returning from the interrupt
the MAS registers no longer contained the proper values.
Since we dont save/restore MAS registers for normal interrupts we
need to disable interrupts in _tlbil_va to ensure atomicity.
