Dissociate the generic_writepages() function from the mpage stuff, moving its declaration to linux/mm.h and actually emitting a full implementation into mm/page-writeback.c. The implementation is a partial duplicate of mpage_writepages() with all BIO references removed. It is used by NFS to do writeback.

2006-09-30[PATCH] elevator: define ioc counting mechanismJens Axboe
None of the in-kernel primitives for handling "atomic" counting seem to be a good fit. We need something that is essentially free for incrementing/decrementing, while the read side may be more expensive as we only ever need to do that when a device is removed from the kernel. Use a per-cpu variable for maintaining a per-cpu ioc count and define a reading mechanism that just sums up the values. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-09-30[PATCH] cfq-iosched: kill cfq_exit_lockJens Axboe
cfq_exit_lock is protecting two things now: - The per-ioc rbtree of cfq_io_contexts - The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is. The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only. The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can remove this locking as well.

2006-09-30[PATCH] Remove ->rq_status from struct requestJens Axboe
After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE and RQ_INACTIVE. The block layer sets RQ_INACTIVE right before freeing the request, so any check for RQ_INACTIVE in a driver is a bug and indicates use-after-free. So kill/clean the remaining users, straight forward.

2006-09-30[PATCH] elevator: abstract out the rbtree sort handlingJens Axboe
The rbtree sort/lookup/reposition logic is mostly duplicated in cfq/deadline/as, so move it to the elevator core.

2006-09-30[PATCH] elevator: move the backmerging logic into the elevator coreJens Axboe
Right now, every IO scheduler implements its own backmerging (except for noop, which does no merging). That results in duplicated code for essentially the same operation, which is never a good thing. This patch moves the backmerging out of the io schedulers and into the elevator core. We save 1.6kb of text and as a bonus get backmerging for noop as well. Win-win!

2006-09-30[PATCH] Split struct request ->flags into two partsJens Axboe

2006-09-29[BNX2]: Disable MSI on 5706 if AMD 8132 bridge is present.Michael Chan
MSI is defined to be 32-bit write. The 5706 does 64-bit MSI writes with byte enables disabled on the unused 32-bit word. This is legal but causes problems on the AMD 8132 which will eventually stop responding after a while. Without this patch, the MSI test done by the driver during open will pass, but MSI will eventually stop working after a few MSIs are written by the device. AMD believes this incompatibility is unique to the 5706, and prefers to locally disable MSI rather than globally disabling it using pci_msi_quirk. Update version to 1.4.45.

2006-09-29[PATCH] Generic infrastructure for aclsAndreas Gruenbacher
The patches solve the following problem: We want to grant access to devices based on who is logged in from where, etc. This includes switching back and forth between multiple user sessions, etc. Using ACLs to define device access for logged-in users gives us all the flexibility we need in order to fully solve the problem. Device special files nowadays usually live on tmpfs, hence tmpfs ACLs. Different distros have come up with solutions that solve the problem to different degrees: SUSE uses a resource manager which tracks login sessions and sets ACLs on device inodes as appropriate. RedHat uses pam_console, which changes the primary file ownership to the logged-in user. Others use a set of groups that users must be in in order to be granted the appropriate accesses. The freedesktop.org project plans to implement a combination of a console-tracker and a HAL-device-list based solution to grant access to devices to users, and more distros will likely follow this approach. These patches have first been posted here on 2 February 2005, and again on 8 January 2006. We have been shipping them in SLES9 and SLES10 with no problems reported. The previous submission is archived here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/229 http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/230 http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/231 This patch: Add some infrastructure for access control lists on in-memory filesystems such as tmpfs.

2006-09-29[PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to node_online_mapPaul Jackson
Change the list of memory nodes allowed to tasks in the top (root) nodeset to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a call to a cpuset hook from the memory hotplug code. Make this top cpus file read-only. On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset. If that system does support memory hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use of memory nodes that are added after system boot, because the memory nodes are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled. One key motivation for this change is to remain consistent with the behaviour for the top_cpuset's 'cpus', which is also read-only, and which automatically tracks the cpu_online_map. This change also has the minor benefit that it fixes a long standing, little noticed, minor bug in cpusets. The cpuset performance tweak to short circuit the cpuset_zone_allowed() check on systems with just a single cpuset (see 'number_of_cpusets', in linux/cpuset.h) meant that simply changing the 'mems' of the top_cpuset had no affect, even though the change (the write system call) appeared to succeed. With the following change, that write to the 'mems' file fails -EACCES, and the 'mems' file stubbornly refuses to be changed via user space writes. Thus no one should be mislead into thinking they've changed the top_cpusets's 'mems' when in affect they haven't. In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes the behaviour of the 'mems' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read only, and making it automatically track the value of node_online_map. Thus tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged memory nodes allowed by their cpuset.

These are needed for NE2000; basically NE2000 calls disable_irq and enable_irq as locking against the IRQ handler, but both in cases where interrupts are on and off.

2006-09-29[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)Atsushi Nemoto
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it.
