hpte_need_flush() might be called outside of a preempt section
when manipulating the kernel page tables, so we need to use the
appopriate variants of per-cpu variable accesses. There should
be no risk of being in the middle of a batch and a context
switch will flush any pending batch.

cpufreq_register_driver sets cpufreq_driver to a structure owned (and
placed) in the caller's memory. If cpufreq policy fails in its ->init
function, sysdev_driver_register returns nonzero in
cpufreq_register_driver. Now, cpufreq_register_driver returns an error
without setting cpufreq_driver back to NULL.
Usually cpufreq policy modules are unloaded because they propagate the
error to the module init function and return that.
So a later access to any member of cpufreq_driver causes bugs like:

Several ACPI drivers fail to build if CONFIG_NET is unset, because
they refer to things depending on CONFIG_THERMAL that in turn depends
on CONFIG_NET. However, CONFIG_THERMAL doesn't really need to depend
on CONFIG_NET, because the only part of it requiring CONFIG_NET is
the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c.
Put the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c under #ifdef CONFIG_NET

When the per cpu timer is marked CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP, then we only
can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device
supports oneshot mode as well. Otherwise we would try to switch the
broadcast device into an unsupported mode unconditionally. This went
unnoticed so far as the current available broadcast devices support
oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working
around an hpet related BIOS wreckage.

A race can occur when io_submit() races with io_destroy():

io_submit()
do_io_submit()
...
ctx = lookup_ioctx(ctx_id);
io_destroy()
Now do_io_submit() holds the last reference to ctx.
...
queue new AIO
put_ioctx(ctx) - frees ctx with active AIOs
We solve this issue by checking whether ctx is being destroyed in AIO
submission path after adding new AIO to ctx. Then we are guaranteed that
either io_destroy() waits for new AIO or we see that ctx is being
destroyed and bail out.

should_continue_reclaim() for reclaim/compaction allows scanning to
continue even if pages are not being reclaimed until the full list is
scanned. In terms of allocation success, this makes sense but potentially
it introduces unwanted latency for high-order allocations such as
transparent hugepages and network jumbo frames that would prefer to fail
the allocation attempt and fallback to order-0 pages. Worse, there is a
potential that the full LRU scan will clear all the young bits, distort
page aging information and potentially push pages into swap that would
have otherwise remained resident.
This patch will stop reclaim/compaction if no pages were reclaimed in the
last SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that were considered. For allocations such as
hugetlbfs that use __GFP_REPEAT and have fewer fallback options, the full
LRU list may still be scanned.
Order-0 allocation should not be affected because RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION
is not set so the following avoids the gfp_mask being examined:
if (!(sc->reclaim_mode & RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION))
return false;
A tool was developed based on ftrace that tracked the latency of
high-order allocations while transparent hugepage support was enabled and
three benchmarks were run. The "fix-infinite" figures are 2.6.38-rc4 with
Johannes's patch "vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is done"
applied.

Mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced. order-2 looks increased but
with so few allocations, it's not particularly significant. THP mean
allocation latency is also reduced. That said, allocation time varies so
significantly that the reductions are within noise.
Max allocation time is reduced by a significant amount for low-order
allocations but reduced for THP allocations which presumably are now
breaking before reclaim has done enough work.

Again, mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced while order-2
allocations are too few to draw conclusions from. The mean time for THP
allocations is also slightly reduced albeit the reductions are within
varianes.
Once again, our maximum allocation time is significantly reduced for
low-order allocations and slightly increased for THP allocations.

This benchmark creates one thread per CPU which references an amount of
anonymous memory 1.5 times the size of physical RAM. This pounds swap
quite heavily and is intended to exercise THP a bit.
Mean allocation time for order-1 is reduced as before. It's also reduced
for THP allocations but the variations here are pretty massive due to
swap. As before, maximum allocation times are significantly reduced.
Overall, the patch reduces the mean and maximum allocation latencies for
the smaller high-order allocations. This was with Slab configured so it
would be expected to be more significant with Slub which uses these size
allocations more aggressively.
The mean allocation times for THP allocations are also slightly reduced.
The maximum latency was slightly increased as predicted by the comments
due to reclaim/compaction breaking early. However, workloads care more
about the latency of lower-order allocations than THP so it's an
acceptable trade-off.

The regulator framework is used for power management. The regulators are
only named in the driver code, the actual control stuff is in the board
file for each architecture or use case.
The PN544 chip has three regulators that can be controlled or not -
depending on the architecture where the chip is being used. So some of
the regulators may not be controllable. In our current case the third
regulator, which was missing from the code, went unnoticed because we
didn't need to control it. To be as general as possible - in this respect
- the driver needs to list all regulators. Then the board file can be
used to actually set the usage.

swiotlb's map_page wrongly calls panic() when it can't find a buffer fit
for device's dma mask. It should return an error instead.
Devices with an odd dma mask (i.e. under 4G) like b44 network card hit
this bug (the system crashes):

If swiotlb returns an error, b44 driver can use the own bouncing
mechanism.

In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll()
method with ep->mtx held. This is in general unsafe, because that other
file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd.
The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using
ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll
elsewhere that can be made to deadlock. For example, the following simple
program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's
->poll, leading to deadlock:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/epoll.h>
int main(void) {
int e1, e2, p[2];
struct epoll_event evt = {
.events = EPOLLIN
};
e1 = epoll_create(1);
e2 = epoll_create(2);
pipe(p);
epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt);
epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt);
write(p[1], p, sizeof p);
epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt);
return 0;
}
On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll,
and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would
create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.
