2006-02-06[IA64-SGI] Shub2 BTE address fixRuss Anderson
After converting the cpu physical address to shub2 physical addressing, the address was run through TO_PHYS() which clobbered a high node offset bit causing the BTE to fail on shub2 nodes with large memory. This fix corrects that problem. Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson (rja@sgi.com) Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2006-02-02[IA64] avoid broken SAL_CACHE_FLUSH implementationsBjorn Helgaas
If SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops interrupts, complain about it and fall back to using PAL_CACHE_FLUSH instead. This is to work around a defect in HP rx5670 firmware: when an interrupt occurs during SAL_CACHE_FLUSH, SAL drops the interrupt but leaves it marked "in-service", which leaves the interrupt (and others of equal or lower priority) masked.

2006-02-02[IA64] remove staled comments in asm/system.hChen, Kenneth W
With the recent optimization made to wrap_mmu_context function, we don't hold tasklist_lock anymore when wrapping context id. The comments in asm/system.h must fall through the crack earlier. Remove staled comments. I believe it is still beneficial to unlock the runqueue lock across context switch. So leave __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW on.

2006-02-01[PATCH] compat: fix compat_sys_openat and friendsStephen Rothwell
Most of the 64 bit architectures will zero extend the first argument to compat_sys_{openat,newfstatat,futimesat} which will fail if the 32 bit syscall was passed AT_FDCWD (which is a small negative number). Declare the first argument to be an unsigned int which will force the correct sign extension when the internal functions are called in each case.

2006-02-01[PATCH] VMSPLIT config optionsMark Lord
Enable selection of different user/kernel VM splits for i386, including an optimized mode for 1GB physical RAM, which gives the kernel a direct (non HIGHMEM) mapping to the entire 1GB rather than just the first 896MB. There is a similarly a similarly optimized mode for machines with exactly 2GB of physical RAM. This can speed up the kernel by avoiding having to create/destroy temporary HIGHMEM mappings, and by not having to include HIGHMEM support at all on such machines. The flip side is that there's less virtual addressing left for userspace in these alternatives, and some binary-only kernel modules may misbehave unless rebuilt with the same VMSPLIT option as the main kernel image.

2006-02-01[PATCH] Direct Migration V9: Avoid writeback / page_migrate() methodChristoph Lameter
Migrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that may be used by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration. A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages. Some filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature. The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).

2006-02-01[PATCH] zone_reclaim: configurable off node allocation period.Christoph Lameter
Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left. Reclaim will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless scans for memory. This is also useful to established sufficiently large off node allocation chunks to relieve the local node. It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations. For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up for longer periods of time. If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations. This patch allows just that....

This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region, using 32-bit accesses. The naming is double-underscored to make it clear that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this. This style of access is required by some devices. This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion. It only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.

After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue CPU0 gets interrupted. CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer. CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired. The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state information is wrong.

2006-02-01[PATCH] fuse: fix async read for legacy filesystemsMiklos Szeredi
While asynchronous reads mean a performance improvement in most cases, if the filesystem assumed that reads are synchronous, then async reads may degrade performance (filesystem may receive reads out of order, which can confuse it's own readahead logic). With sshfs a 1.5 to 4 times slowdown can be measured. There's also a need for userspace filesystems to know whether asynchronous reads are supported by the kernel or not. To achive these, negotiate in the INIT request whether async reads will be used and the maximum readahead value. Update interface version to 7.6 If userspace uses a version earlier than 7.6, then disable async reads, and set maximum readahead value to the maximum read size, as done in previous versions.
