Make a filesystems DocBook book/file by moving all filesystems info from
kernel-api.tmpl. Will also merge journal-api.tmpl into it soon (with
permission from Roger Gammans). Localizes filesystem info and reduces size
of the huge (produced) kernel-api output files.

Problem:
New Dell PowerEdge servers have 2 embedded ethernet ports, which are
labeled NIC1 and NIC2 on the chassis, in the BIOS setup screens, and
in the printed documentation. Assuming no other add-in ethernet ports
in the system, Linux 2.4 kernels name these eth0 and eth1
respectively. Many people have come to expect this naming. Linux 2.6
kernels name these eth1 and eth0 respectively (backwards from
expectations). I also have reports that various Sun and HP servers
have similar behavior.
Root cause:
Linux 2.4 kernels walk the pci_devices list, which happens to be
sorted in breadth-first order (or pcbios_find_device order on i386,
which most often is breadth-first also). 2.6 kernels have both the
pci_devices list and the pci_bus_type.klist_devices list, the latter
is what is walked at driver load time to match the pci_id tables; this
klist happens to be in depth-first order.
On systems where, for physical routing reasons, NIC1 appears on a
lower bus number than NIC2, but NIC2's bridge is discovered first in
the depth-first ordering, NIC2 will be discovered before NIC1. If the
list were sorted breadth-first, NIC1 would be discovered before NIC2.
A PowerEdge 1955 system has the following topology which easily
exhibits the difference between depth-first and breadth-first device
lists.
-[0000:00]-+-00.0 Intel Corporation 5000P Chipset Memory Controller Hub
+-02.0-[0000:03-08]--+-00.0-[0000:04-07]--+-00.0-[0000:05-06]----00.0-[0000:06]----00.0 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC2, 2.4 kernel name eth1, 2.6 kernel name eth0)
+-1c.0-[0000:01-02]----00.0-[0000:02]----00.0 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC1, 2.4 kernel name eth0, 2.6 kernel name eth1)
Other factors, such as device driver load order and the presence of
PCI slots at various points in the bus hierarchy further complicate
this problem; I'm not trying to solve those here, just restore the
device order, and thus basic behavior, that 2.4 kernels had.
Solution:
The solution can come in multiple steps.
Suggested fix #1: kernel
Patch below optionally sorts the two device lists into breadth-first
ordering to maintain compatibility with 2.4 kernels. It adds two new
command line options:
pci=bfsort
pci=nobfsort
to force the sort order, or not, as you wish. It also adds DMI checks
for the specific Dell systems which exhibit "backwards" ordering, to
make them "right".
Suggested fix #2: udev rules from userland
Many people also have the expectation that embedded NICs are always
discovered before add-in NICs (which this patch does not try to do).
Using the PCI IRQ Routing Table provided by system BIOS, it's easy to
determine which PCI devices are embedded, or if add-in, which PCI slot
they're in. I'm working on a tool that would allow udev to name
ethernet devices in ascending embedded, slot 1 .. slot N order,
subsort by PCI bus/dev/fn breadth-first. It'll be possible to use it
independent of udev as well for those distributions that don't use
udev in their installers.
Suggested fix #3: system board routing rules
One can constrain the system board layout to put NIC1 ahead of NIC2
regardless of breadth-first or depth-first discovery order. This adds
a significant level of complexity to board routing, and may not be
possible in all instances (witness the above systems from several
major manufacturers). I don't want to encourage this particular train
of thought too far, at the expense of not doing #1 or #2 above.
Feedback appreciated. Patch tested on a Dell PowerEdge 1955 blade
with 2.6.18.
You'll also note I took some liberty and temporarily break the klist
abstraction to simplify and speed up the sort algorithm. I think
that's both safe and appropriate in this instance.

Adds support for dance pads to the xpad driver. Dance pads require the
d-pad to be mapped to four buttons instead of two axes, so that
combinations of up/down and left/right can be hit simultaneously.
Known dance pads are detected, and there is a module parameter added
to default unknown xpad devices to map the d-pad to buttons if this is
desired. (dpad_to_buttons). Minor modifications were made to port the
changes in the original patch to a newer kernel version.
This patch was originally from Dominic Cerquetti originally written
for kernel 2.6.11.4, with minor modifications (API changes for USB,
spelling fixes to the documentation added in the original patch) made
to apply to the current kernel. I have modified Dominic's original
patch per some suggestions from Dmitry Torokhov. (There was nothing
in the patch format description about multiple From: lines, so I
haven't added myself.)

I was looking at lockdep-desing.txt and i guess i am confused with the
changes with respect to fd7bcea35e7efb108c34ee2b3840942a3749cadb. It
says
+ '.' acquired while irqs enabled
+ '+' acquired in irq context
+ '-' acquired in process context with irqs disabled
+ '?' read-acquired both with irqs enabled and in irq context
+
But the get_usage_chars() function does this for '-'
if (class->usage_mask & LOCKF_ENABLED_HARDIRQS)
*c1 = '-';
So i guess what would be correct would be
'.' acquired while irqs disabled
'+' acquired in irq context
'-' acquired with irqs enabled
'?' read acquired in irq context with irqs enabled.

Kill a hard-to-calculate 'rsinterval' boot parameter and per-cpu
rcu_data.last_rs_qlen. Instead, it adds adds a flag rcu_ctrlblk.signaled,
which records the fact that one of CPUs has sent a resched IPI since the
last rcu_start_batch().
Roughly speaking, we need two rcu_start_batch()s in order to move callbacks
from ->nxtlist to ->donelist. This means that when ->qlen exceeds qhimark
and continues to grow, we should send a resched IPI, and then do it again
after we gone through a quiescent state.
On the other hand, if it was already sent, we don't need to do it again
when another CPU detects overflow of the queue.

Updated patch adding a variant of RCU that permits sleeping in read-side
critical sections. SRCU is as follows:
o Each use of SRCU creates its own srcu_struct, and each
srcu_struct has its own set of grace periods. This is
critical, as it prevents one subsystem with a blocking
reader from holding up SRCU grace periods for other
subsystems.
o The SRCU primitives (srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(),
and synchronize_srcu()) all take a pointer to a srcu_struct.
o The SRCU primitives must be called from process context.
o srcu_read_lock() returns an int that must be passed to
the matching srcu_read_unlock(). Realtime RCU avoids the
need for this by storing the state in the task struct,
but SRCU needs to allow a given code path to pass through
multiple SRCU domains -- storing state in the task struct
would therefore require either arbitrary space in the
task struct or arbitrary limits on SRCU nesting. So I
kicked the state-storage problem up to the caller.
Of course, it is not permitted to call synchronize_srcu()
while in an SRCU read-side critical section.
o There is no call_srcu(). It would not be hard to implement
one, but it seems like too easy a way to OOM the system.
(Hey, we have enough trouble with call_rcu(), which does
-not- permit readers to sleep!!!) So, if you want it,
please tell me why...

eCryptfs is a stacked cryptographic filesystem for Linux. It is derived from
Erez Zadok's Cryptfs, implemented through the FiST framework for generating
stacked filesystems. eCryptfs extends Cryptfs to provide advanced key
management and policy features. eCryptfs stores cryptographic metadata in the
header of each file written, so that encrypted files can be copied between
hosts; the file will be decryptable with the proper key, and there is no need
to keep track of any additional information aside from what is already in the
encrypted file itself.
