b517bea1c7 [PATCH] 64-bit jbd2 core
Here is the patch to JBD to handle 64 bit block numbers, originally from Zach
Brown.  This patch is useful only after adding support for 64-bit block
numbers in the filesystem.

471d4011a9 [PATCH] ext4: uninitialised extent handling
Make it possible to add file preallocation support in future as an RO_COMPAT
feature by recognizing uninitialized extents as holes and limiting extent
length to keep the top bit of ee_len free for marking uninitialized extents.

502717f4e1 [PATCH] hugetlb: fix linked list corruption in unmap_hugepage_range()
commit fe1668ae5b causes kernel to oops with
libhugetlbfs test suite.  The problem is that hugetlb pages can be shared
by multiple mappings.  Multiple threads can fight over page->lru in the
unmap path and bad things happen.  We now serialize __unmap_hugepage_range
to void concurrent linked list manipulation.  Such serialization is also
needed for shared page table page on hugetlb area.  This patch will fixed
the bug and also serve as a prepatch for shared page table.

6391af174a [PATCH] mm: use symbolic names instead of indices for zone initialisation
Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to
offset within an array related to zones (max_zone_pfns).  The unintended
impact is that ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL is initialised on powerpc instead
of ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set.  As a result, the
the machine fails to boot but will boot with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off.

The following patch properly initialises the max_zone_pfns[] array and uses
symbolic names instead of indices in each architecture using
arch-independent zone-sizing.  Two users have successfully booted their
powerpcs with it (one an ibook G4).  It has also been boot tested on x86,
x86_64, ppc64 and ia64.  Please merge for 2.6.19-rc2.

Credit to Benjamin Herrenschmidt for identifying the bug and rolling the
first fix.  Additional credit to Johannes Berg and Andreas Schwab for
reporting the problem and testing on powerpc.

75e9de18f0 [S390] stacktrace bug.
The latest kernel 2.6.19-rc1 triggers a bug in the s390 specific stack
trace code when compiled with gcc 3.4.
This patch fixes the latest lock dependency validator code (2.6.19-rc1)
on s390 gcc 3.4. The variable sp was fixed to r15 (which is the stack
pointer in the s390 abi) and assigned new values to r15. Therefore,
gcc 3.4 assigns a new value to r15 and does not restore it on exit (r15
is supposed to be call save) - the kernel stack is broken. Avoid trouble
by not assigning any new value to sp (r15).

The grace period handling introduced needless complexity. It didn't
help the dasd driver (which can handle terminated I/O just well),
and it doesn't help for long running channel programs (which won't
complete during the grace period anyway). Terminating I/O using a

what the user expects.

Make the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl in libata (ATA command pass through) return a
few ATA registers to userspace, following the same convention as the
drivers/ide implementation of the same ioctl.  This is needed to support ATA
commands like CHECK POWER MODE, which return information in nsectors.

This fixes "hdparm -C" on SATA drives.

Forcing the sense data read via the cc flag causes spurious check conditions,
so we filter these out (following the ATA command pass-through specification
T10/04-262r7).

348bc2a6e3 [PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet DMA direction fix
The ring buffer descriptors are DMA-accessed bidirectionally,
but are not declared in this way.  Fix this.

66c097165c [PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet variable name change
Cosmetic patch: give the variable holding the numer of descriptors
a more descriptive name, so to avoid confusion.

a664ccf430 [PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet reduce DMA kicking
The current code attempts to start the TX dma every time a packet
is queued. This is too conservative, and wastes CPU time. This
patch changes behaviour to call the kick-dma function less often,
only when the tx queue is at risk of emptying.

This reduces cpu usage, improves performance.

9cc7bf7edf [PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet refine locking
The transmit side of the spider ethernet driver currently
places locks around some very large chunks of code. This
results in a fair amount of lock contention is some cases.
This patch makes the locks much more fine-grained, protecting
only the cirtical sections. One lock is used to protect
three locations: the queue head and tail pointers, and the
queue low-watermark location.

204e5fa17c [PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet low watermark patch.
Implement basic low-watermark support for the transmit queue.
Hardware low-watermarks allow a properly configured kernel
to continously stream data to a device and not have to handle
any interrupts at all in doing so. Correct zero-interrupt
operation can be actually observed for this driver, when the
socket buffer is made large enough.

The basic idea of a low-watermark interrupt is as follows.
The device driver queues up a bunch of packets for the hardware
to transmit, and then kicks the hardware to get it started.
As the hardware drains the queue of pending, untransmitted
packets, the device driver will want to know when the queue
is almost empty, so that it can queue some more packets.

If the queue drains down to the low waterark, then an interrupt
will be generated. However, if the kernel/driver continues
to add enough packets to keep the queue partially filled,
no interrupt will actually be generated, and the hardware
can continue streaming packets indefinitely in this mode.

The impelmentation is done by setting the DESCR_TXDESFLG flag
in one of the packets. When the hardware sees this flag, it will
interrupt the device driver. Because this flag is on a fixed
packet, rather than at  fixed location in the queue, the
code below needs to move the flag as more packets are
queued up. This implementation attempts to keep the flag
at about 1/4 from "empty".
