The nfs_open_context may live longer than the file descriptor that spawned
it, so it needs to carry a reference to the vfsmount. If not, then
generic_shutdown_super() may end up being called before reads and writes

The 40-bit DMA workaround recently implemented for 5714, 5715, and
5780 needs to be expanded because there may be other tg3 devices
behind the EPB Express to PCIX bridge in the 5780 class device.
For example, some 4-port card or mother board designs have 5704 behind
the 5714.
All devices behind the EPB require the 40-bit DMA workaround.
Thanks to Chris Elmquist again for reporting the problem and testing
the patch.

If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3
(or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall
through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any
other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet.
Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported
AX.25 dialects.
The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather
unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.

From Dave Johnson <djohnson+linuxmips@sw.starentnetworks.com>:
sb1250_gettimeoffset() simply reads the current cpu 0 timer remaining
value, however once this counter reaches 0 and the interrupt is raised,
it immediately resets and begins to count down again.
If sb1250_gettimeoffset() is called on cpu 1 via do_gettimeofday() after
the timer has reset but prior to cpu 0 processing the interrupt and
taking write_seqlock() in timer_interrupt() it will return a full value
(or close to it) causing time to jump backwards 1ms. Once cpu 0 handles
the interrupt and timer_interrupt() gets far enough along it will jump
forward 1ms.
Fix this problem by implementing mips_hpt_*() on sb1250 using a spare
timer unrelated to the existing periodic interrupt timers. It runs at
1Mhz with a full 23bit counter. This eliminated the custom
do_gettimeoffset() for sb1250 and allowed use of the generic
fixed_rate_gettimeoffset() using mips_hpt_*() and timerhi/timerlo.

If a call to set_io_port_base() was being followed by usage of
mips_io_port_base in the same function gcc was possibly using the old

The patch '[PATCH] RCU signal handling' [1] added an export for
__put_task_struct_cb, a put_task_struct helper newly introduced in that
patch. But the put_task_struct couldn't be used modular previously as
__put_task_struct wasn't exported. There are not callers of it in modular
code, and it shouldn't be exported because we don't want drivers to hold
references to task_structs.
This patch removes the export and folds __put_task_struct into
__put_task_struct_cb as there's no other caller.

The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote
per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number
of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms.
Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays.
This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable.
Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and
the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in
cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to
completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The
time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches
are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback
here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer.
Details:
1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification
of the node to drain of pcp pages.
2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA
that manage a per cpu reap_node counter.
3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node.
For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms
cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel
slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor
compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with
the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC
timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled. This is
because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU
ends up processing it twice.
This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0.
I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple
and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but
to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds
options to enable/disable too)
Ported over from a similar x86-64 change.
I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but
tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI.
Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

I have benchmarked this on an x86_64 NUMA system and see no significant
performance difference on kernbench. Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc.
The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched
freeing. For scalability reasons, file accounting was
constructor/destructor based. This meant that nr_files was decremented
only when the object was removed from the slab cache. This is susceptible
to slab fragmentation. With RCU based file structure, consequent batched
freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up
with a very fragmented slab -
llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
587730 0 758844
At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache. The following
patch I fixes this problem.
This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock.
Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all
accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api. In the sysctl handler for
nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user.
Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to
inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU.

This patch adds new tunables for RCU queue and finished batches. There are
two types of controls - number of completed RCU updates invoked in a batch
(blimit) and monitoring for high rate of incoming RCUs on a cpu (qhimark,
qlowmark).
By default, the per-cpu batch limit is set to a small value. If the input
RCU rate exceeds the high watermark, we do two things - force quiescent
state on all cpus and set the batch limit of the CPU to INTMAX. Setting
batch limit to INTMAX forces all finished RCUs to be processed in one shot.
If we have more than INTMAX RCUs queued up, then we have bigger problems
anyway. Once the incoming queued RCUs fall below the low watermark, the
batch limit is set to the default.

A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
simplified and improved:
* 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
bit being set. In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
which is not necessarily the current system call.
* 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.
* _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
_TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
by system calls. I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.
* On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
was traced or single-stepped). Thus the non-volatile registers
weren't restored on exit from a signal handler. We probably got
away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
alter the non-volatile registers.
* On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
preemption and signal delivery.
* 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.
* I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
enable interrupts first.

Patch from Catalin Marinas
Chapter B2.7.3 in the latest ARM ARM (with v6 information) states that
the completion of a TLB maintenance operation is only guaranteed by
the execution of a DSB (Data Syncronization Barrier, formerly Data
Write Barrier or Drain Write Buffer).
Note that a DSB is only needed in the flush_tlb_kernel_* functions
since the completion is guaranteed by a mode change (i.e. switching
back to user mode) for the flush_tlb_user_* functions.

tree for next event.
Function next_timer_interrupt() is needed with dyntick (CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ,
