3fff0179e3 virtio-pci: do not oops on config change if driver not loaded
The host really shouldn't be notifying us of config changes
before the device status is VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER or
VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK.

However, if we do happen to be interrupted while we're not
attached to a driver, we really shouldn't oops. Prevent
this simply by checking that device->driver is non-NULL
before trying to notify the driver of config changes.

Problem observed by doing a "set_link virtio.0 down" with
QEMU before the net driver had been loaded.

720eba31f4 modules: Use a better scheme for refcounting
Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y) is
using a lot of memory.

Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines.

This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() &
percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage.

Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use
nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes.

On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce
size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module)

Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses
because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better
NUMA properties, since each  CPU will use storage on its preferred node,
thanks to percpu storage.

fd4ef23196 ocfs2: add quota call to ocfs2_remove_btree_range()
We weren't reclaiming the clusters which get free'd from this function,
so any user punching holes in a file would still have those bytes accounted
against him/her. Add the call to vfs_dq_free_space_nodirty() to fix this.
Interestingly enough, the journal credits calculation already took this into
account.

a4b91965d3 ocfs2: Wakeup the downconvert thread after a successful cancel convert
When two nodes holding PR locks on a resource concurrently attempt to
upconvert the locks to EX, the master sends a BAST to one of the nodes. This
message tells that node to first cancel convert the upconvert request,
followed by downconvert to a NL. Only when this lock is downconverted to NL,
can the master upconvert the first node's lock to EX.

While the fs was doing the cancel convert, it was forgetting to wake up the
dc thread after a successful cancel, leading to a deadlock.

554e7f9e04 ocfs2: Access the xattr bucket only before modifying it.
In ocfs2_xattr_value_truncate, we may call b-tree codes which will
extend the journal transaction. It has a potential problem that it
may let the already-accessed-but-not-dirtied buffers gone. So we'd
better access the bucket after we call ocfs2_xattr_value_truncate.
And as for the root buffer for the xattr value, b-tree code will
acess and dirty it, so we don't need to worry about it.

0e0333429a configfs: Silence lockdep on mkdir(), rmdir() and configfs_depend_item()
When attaching default groups (subdirs) of a new group (in mkdir() or
in configfs_register()), configfs recursively takes inode's mutexes
along the path from the parent of the new group to the default
subdirs. This is needed to ensure that the VFS will not race with
operations on these sub-dirs. This is safe for the following reasons:

- the VFS allows one to lock first an inode and second one of its
  children (The lock subclasses for this pattern are respectively
  I_MUTEX_PARENT and I_MUTEX_CHILD);
- from this rule any inode path can be recursively locked in
  descending order as long as it stays under a single mountpoint and
  does not follow symlinks.

Unfortunately lockdep does not know (yet?) how to handle such
recursion.

I've tried to use Peter Zijlstra's lock_set_subclass() helper to
upgrade i_mutexes from I_MUTEX_CHILD to I_MUTEX_PARENT when we know
that we might recursively lock some of their descendant, but this
usage does not seem to fit the purpose of lock_set_subclass() because
it leads to several i_mutex locked with subclass I_MUTEX_PARENT by
the same task.

>From inside configfs it is not possible to serialize those recursive
locking with a top-level one, because mkdir() and rmdir() are already
called with inodes locked by the VFS. So using some
mutex_lock_nest_lock() is not an option.

I am proposing two solutions:
1) one that wraps recursive mutex_lock()s with
   lockdep_off()/lockdep_on().
2) (as suggested earlier by Peter Zijlstra) one that puts the
   i_mutexes recursively locked in different classes based on their
   depth from the top-level config_group created. This
   induces an arbitrary limit (MAX_LOCK_DEPTH - 2 == 46) on the
   nesting of configfs default groups whenever lockdep is activated
   but this limit looks reasonably high. Unfortunately, this alos
   isolates VFS operations on configfs default groups from the others
   and thus lowers the chances to detect locking issues.

This patch implements solution 1).

Solution 2) looks better from lockdep's point of view, but fails with
configfs_depend_item(). This needs to rework the locking
scheme of configfs_depend_item() by removing the variable lock recursion
depth, and I think that it's doable thanks to the configfs_dirent_lock.
For now, let's stick to solution 1).

With the PXA270 MMC hardware, there seems to be an issue of

If we delay enabling the DMA for writes until after the CMD/RESP

a77dcc437c ide: add CS5536 host driver (v3)
This is a port of libata's pata_cs5536.c (written by Martin K. Petersen)
to IDE subsystem.

Changes done while at it:

* Reprogram PIO/MWDMA timings if needed before and after DMA transfer
  (chipset uses shared PIO/MWDMA timings).

* Fix cable detection to report 80-wires cable if BIOS set it for any
  device on a port (IDE core will do drive-side cable detection later).

* Don't disable UDMA while programming PIO timings.

* Simplify PCI/MSR support.

Pros of having IDE host driver in addition to libata's one:

* IDE is much lighter than SCSI+libata, the host driver itself is also
  a bit smaller:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1261     496       4    1761     6e1 drivers/ata/pata_cs5536.o
   1242     128       4    1374     55e drivers/ide/cs5536.o

* This allows use of IDE features which are unavailable under libata.

v2:
* Fixes per review from Sergei:
  - simplify dependency check in Kconfig
  - use IDE_DRV_MASK also for ->drive_data
  - disable UDMA when programming MWDMA
  - program new DTC timings only when necessary
  - fix printk() level in cs5536_init_one()

* Fix patch description according to comments from Alan and Sergei.

v3:
* Smarter masking of UDMA bits per Sergei's suggestion.

7fbb7cadd0 fbdev/atyfb: Fix DSP config on some PowerMacs & PowerBooks
Since the complete re-write in 2.6.10, some PowerMacs (At least PowerMac 5500
and PowerMac G3 Beige rev A) with ATI Mach64 chip have suffered from unstable
columns in their framebuffer image. This seems to depend on a value (4) read
from PLL_EXT_CNTL register, which leads to incorrect DSP config parameters to
be written to the chip. This patch uses a value calculated by aty_init_pll_ct
instead, as a starting point.

There are questions as to whether this should be extended to other platforms
or maybe made dependent on specific chip types, but in the meantime, this has
been tested on various powermacs and works for them so let's commit it.

27421e211a Manually revert "mlock: downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions"
This essentially reverts commit 8edb08caf6.

It downgraded our mmap semaphore to a read-lock while mlocking pages, in
order to allow other threads (and external accesses like "ps" et al) to
walk the vma lists and take page faults etc.  Which is a nice idea, but
the implementation does not work.

Because we cannot upgrade the lock back to a write lock without
releasing the mmap semaphore, the code had to release the lock entirely
and then re-take it as a writelock.  However, that meant that the caller
possibly lost the vma chain that it was following, since now another
thread could come in and mmap/munmap the range.

The code tried to work around that by just looking up the vma again and
erroring out if that happened, but quite frankly, that was just a buggy
hack that doesn't actually protect against anything (the other thread
could just have replaced the vma with another one instead of totally
unmapping it).

The only way to downgrade to a read map _reliably_ is to do it at the
end, which is likely the right thing to do: do all the 'vma' operations
with the write-lock held, then downgrade to a read after completing them
all, and then do the "populate the newly mlocked regions" while holding
just the read lock.  And then just drop the read-lock and return to user
space.

The (perhaps somewhat simpler) alternative is to just make all the
callers of mlock_vma_pages_range() know that the mmap lock got dropped,
and just re-grab the mmap semaphore if it needs to mlock more than one
vma region.

So we can do this "downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions"
thing right, but the way it was done here was absolutely not correct.
Thus the revert, in the expectation that we will do it all correctly
some day.

d942fb6c7d sched: fix sync wakeups
Pawel Dziekonski reported that the openssl benchmark and his
quantum chemistry application both show slowdowns due to the
scheduler under-parallelizing execution.

The reason are pipe wakeups still doing 'sync' wakeups which
overrides the normal buddy wakeup logic - even if waker and
wakee are loosely coupled.

Fix an inversion of logic in the buddy wakeup code.

878b8619f7 Fix memory corruption in console selection
Fix an off-by-two memory error in console selection.

The loop below goes from sel_start to sel_end (inclusive), so it writes
one more character.  This one more character was added to the allocated
size (+1), but it was not multiplied by an UTF-8 multiplier.

This patch fixes a memory corruption when UTF-8 console is used and the
user selects a few characters, all of them 3-byte in UTF-8 (for example
a frame line).

When memory redzones are enabled, a redzone corruption is reported.
When they are not enabled, trashing of random memory occurs.
