Fix a bug in the cleanup of an spi_bitbang bus.
The workqueue associated with the bus was destroyed before the call to
spi_unregister_master. That meant that spi devices on that bus would be
unable to do IO in their remove method. The shutdown flag should have been
able to prevent a segfault, but was never getting set. By waiting to
destroy the workqueue until after the master is unregistered, devices are
able to do IO in their remove methods. An added benefit is that neither
the shutdown flag nor a wait for the queue of messages to empty is needed.

This patch corrects work with time in UFS2 case.
1) According to UFS2 disk layout modification/access and so on "time"
should be hold in two variables one 64bit for seconds and another 32bit for
nanoseconds,
at now for some unknown reason we suppose that "inode time" holds in
three variables 32bit for seconds, 32bit for milliseconds and 32bit for
nanoseconds.
2) We set amount of nanoseconds in "VFS inode" to 0 during read, instead of
getting values from "on disk inode"(this should close
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7991).

This patch (as868) adds a helper routine for device drivers that need
to set up a callback to perform some action in a different process's
context. This is intended for use by attribute methods that want to
unregister themselves or their parent device. Attribute method calls
are mutually exclusive with unregistration, so such actions cannot be
taken directly.
Two attribute methods are converted to use the new helper routine: one
for SCSI device deletion and one for System/390 ccwgroup devices.

times.
Because we do not reserve space for the pci-x and pci-e state in struct
pci dev we need to dynamically allocate it. However because we need
to support restore being called multiple times after a single save
it is never safe to free the buffers we have allocated to hold the
state.
So this patch modifies the save routines to first check to see
if we have already allocated a state buffer before allocating
a new one. Then the restore routines are modified to not free
the state after restoring it. Simple and it fixes some subtle
error path handling bugs, that are hard to test for.

There are two ways pci_save_state and pci_restore_state are used. As
helper functions during suspend/resume, and as helper functions around
a hardware reset event. When used as helper functions around a hardware
reset event there is no reason to believe the calls will be paired, nor
is there a good reason to believe that if we restore the msi state from
before the reset that it will match the current msi state. Since arch
code may change the msi message without going through the driver, drivers
currently do not have enough information to even know when to call
pci_save_state to ensure they will have msi state in sync with the other
kernel irq reception data structures.
It turns out the solution is straight forward, cache the state in the
existing msi data structures (not the magic pci saved things) and
have the msi code update the cached state each time we write to the hardware.
This means we never need to read the hardware to figure out what the hardware
state should be.
By modifying the caching in this manner we get to remove our save_state
routines and only need to provide restore_state routines.
The only fields that were at all tricky to regenerate were the msi and msi-x
control registers and the way we regenerate them currently is a bit dependent
upon assumptions on how we use the allow msi registers to be configured and used
making the code a little bit brittle. If we ever change what cases we allow
or how we configure the msi bits we can address the fragility then.

IA64 and ARM-OABI are currently using their own version of epoll compat_
code.
An architecture needs epoll_event translation if alignof(u64) in 32 bit
mode is different from alignof(u64) in 64 bit mode. If an architecture
needs epoll_event translation, it must define struct compat_epoll_event in
asm/compat.h and set CONFIG_HAVE_COMPAT_EPOLL_EVENT and use
compat_sys_epoll_ctl and compat_sys_epoll_wait.
All 64 bit architecture should use compat_sys_epoll_pwait.

When the last thread of nfsd exits, it shuts down all related sockets. It
currently uses svc_close_socket to do this, but that only is immediately
effective if the socket is not SK_BUSY.
If the socket is busy - i.e. if a request has arrived that has not yet been
processes - svc_close_socket is not effective and the shutdown process spins.
So create a new svc_force_close_socket which removes the SK_BUSY flag is set
and then calls svc_close_socket.
Also change some open-codes loops in svc_destroy to use
list_for_each_entry_safe.

We were using the platform_device.id field to identify which ethernet
port is used for mv643xx_eth device. This is not generally correct.
It will be incorrect, for example, if a hardware platform uses a single
port but not the first port. Here, we add an explicit port_number field
to struct mv643xx_eth_platform_data.
This makes the mv643xx_eth_platform_data structure required, but that

In active-backup mode, the current bonding code duplicates IGMP
traffic to all slaves, so that switches are up to date in case of a
failover from an active to a backup interface. If bonding then fails
back to the original active interface, it is likely that the "active
slave" switch's IGMP forwarding for the port will be out of date until
some event occurs to refresh the switch (e.g., a membership query).
This patch alters the behavior of bonding to no longer flood
IGMP to all ports, and to issue IGMP JOINs to the newly active port at
the time of a failover. This insures that switches are kept up to date
for all cases.
"GOELLESCH Niels" <niels.goellesch@eurocontrol.int> originally
reported this problem, and included a patch. His original patch was
modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally remove the existing IGMP flood
behavior, use RCU, streamline code paths, fix trailing white space, and
adjust for style.

Fix {nf,ip}_ct_iterate_cleanup unconfirmed list handling:
- unconfirmed entries can not be killed manually, they are removed on
confirmation or final destruction of the conntrack entry, which means
we might iterate forever without making forward progress.
This can happen in combination with the conntrack event cache, which
holds a reference to the conntrack entry, which is only released when
the packet makes it all the way through the stack or a different
packet is handled.
- taking references to an unconfirmed entry and using it outside the
locked section doesn't work, the list entries are not refcounted and
another CPU might already be waiting to destroy the entry
What the code really wants to do is make sure the references of the hash
table to the selected conntrack entries are released, so they will be
destroyed once all references from skbs and the event cache are dropped.
Since unconfirmed entries haven't even entered the hash yet, simply mark
them as dying and skip confirmation based on that.

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.21-rc2-g562aa1d4-dirty #7
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/1282 is trying to acquire lock:
(&cpu_base->lock_key){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f17e>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xc6/0x240
but task is already holding lock:
(&cpu_base->lock_key#2){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f174>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xbc/0x240
which lock already depends on the new lock.
This happens because we have the following code in kernel/hrtimer.c:
migrate_hrtimers(int cpu)
[...]
old_base = &per_cpu(hrtimer_bases, cpu);
new_base = &get_cpu_var(hrtimer_bases);
[...]
spin_lock(&new_base->lock);
spin_lock(&old_base->lock);
Which means the spinlocks are taken in an order which depends on which cpu
gets shut down from which other cpu. Therefore lockdep complains that there
might be an ABBA deadlock. Since migrate_hrtimers() gets only called on
cpu hotplug it's safe to assume that it isn't executed concurrently on a
The same problem exists in kernel/timer.c: migrate_timers().
As pointed out by Christian Borntraeger one possible solution to avoid
the locking order complaints would be to make sure that the locks are
always taken in the same order. E.g. by taking the lock of the cpu with
the lower number first.
To achieve this we introduce two new spinlock functions double_spin_lock
and double_spin_unlock which lock or unlock two locks in a given order.

Currently we do not check for vma flags if sys_move_pages is called to move
individual pages. If sys_migrate_pages is called to move pages then we
check for vm_flags that indicate a non migratable vma but that still
includes VM_LOCKED and we can migrate mlocked pages.
Extract the vma_migratable check from mm/mempolicy.c, fix it and put it
into migrate.h so that is can be used from both locations.

Remove the SMT-nice feature which idles sibling cpus on SMT cpus to
facilitiate nice working properly where cpu power is shared. The idling of
cpus in the presence of runnable tasks is considered too fragile, easy to
break with outside code, and the complexity of managing this system if an
architecture comes along with many logical cores sharing cpu power will be
unworkable.
Remove the associated per_cpu_gain variable in sched_domains used only by
this code.
Also:
The reason is that with dynticks enabled, this code breaks without yet
further tweaks so dynticks brought on the rapid demise of this code. So
either we tweak this code or kill it off entirely. It was Ingo's preference
to kill it off. Either way this needs to happen for 2.6.21 since dynticks
has gone in.

In some cases when we are not using msi we need a way to ensure that the
hardware does not have an msi capability enabled. Currently the code has been
calling disable_msi_mode to try and achieve that. However disable_msi_mode
has several other side effects and is only available when msi support is
compiled in so it isn't really appropriate.
Instead this patch implements pci_msi_off which disables all msi and msix
capabilities unconditionally with no additional side effects.
pci_disable_device was redundantly clearing the bus master enable flag and
clearing the msi enable bit. A device that is not allowed to perform bus
mastering operations cannot generate intx or msi interrupt messages as those
are essentially a special case of dma, and require bus mastering. So the call
in pci_disable_device to disable msi capabilities was redundant.
quirk_pcie_pxh also called disable_msi_mode and is updated to use pci_msi_off.

Allocate a distinct inode for every vcpu in a VM. This has the following
benefits:
- the filp cachelines are no longer bounced when f_count is incremented on
every ioctl()
- the API and internal code are distinctly clearer; for example, on the
KVM_GET_REGS ioctl, there is no need to copy the vcpu number from
userspace and then copy the registers back; the vcpu identity is derived
from the fd used to make the call
Right now the performance benefits are completely theoretical since (a) we
don't support more than one vcpu per VM and (b) virtualization hardware
inefficiencies completely everwhelm any cacheline bouncing effects. But
both of these will change, and we need to prepare the API today.

This avoids having filp->f_op and the corresponding inode->i_fop different,
which is a little unorthodox.

external fragmentation conditions.
I couldn't just use vmalloc() because vfree() cannot be called in the
softirq context of the RCU callback.

The initial simplex handling code is fooled if you suspend and resume.
This also causes problems with some single channel controllers which
claim to be simplex.
The fix is fairly simple, instead of keeping a flag to remember if we
gave away the simplex channel we remember the actual owner. As the owner
is always part of the host_set we don't even need a refcount.
Knowing the owner also means we can reassign simplex DMA channels in
future hotplug code etc if we need to

This patch provides the following hugetlb-related fixes to the recent stacked
shm files changes:
- Update is_file_hugepages() so it will reconize hugetlb shm segments.
- get_unmapped_area must be called with the nested file struct to handle
the sfd->file->f_ops->get_unmapped_area == NULL case.
- The fsync f_op must be wrapped since it is specified in the hugetlbfs
f_ops.
This is based on proposed fixes from Eric Biederman that were debugged and
tested by me. Without it, attempting to use hugetlb shared memory segments
on powerpc (and likely ia64) will kill your box.
