This bug was introduced in the 2.6.24 i386/x86_64 tree merge, where
MSI-X vector allocation will eventually fail. The cause is the new
bit array tracking used vectors is not getting cleared properly on
IRQ destruction on the 32-bit APIC code.
This can be seen easily using the ixgbe 10 GbE driver on multi-core
systems by simply loading and unloading the driver a few times.
Depending on the number of available vectors on the host system, the
MSI-X allocation will eventually fail, and the driver will only be
able to use legacy interrupts.
I am generating the same patch for both stable trees for 2.6.24 and
2.6.25.

While at it, remove semicolon (which didn't break compilation only by

- change 'au1200_ide0_' variable name prefix to the mere 'ide_';
- change 'smc91x_' variable name prefix to 'smc91c111_' since that's the
name of the chip used on the boards;
- drop 'AU1XXX_' prefix from the names of macros describing IDE and Ethernet
on-board devices;
- change 'SMC91111_' to 'SMC91C111_', change 'IRQ' to 'INT' in the names of
the macros describing the Ethernet chip for consistency with the IDE

indeed a shift count) in the names of the macros describing the IDE

Fold the SB-1 specific implementation of clear_page/copy_page in the

benefits:
- It converts the compile-time workaround for SB-1 pass 1 prefetches
to a more efficient run-time check.
- It allows adjustment of loop unfolling, which helps to reduce the
number of redundant cdex cache ops.
- It fixes some esoteric cornercases (the cache line length calculations
can go wrong, and support for 64k pages without prefetch instructions
will overflow the addiu immediate).
- Somewhat better guesses of "good" prefetch values.
I saw this problem recently. With this kernel-doc:
* Note: some important info
*
* Note: other important info
kernel-doc uses the "section name" (preceding the ':', like "Note") as a hash
key for storing the descriptive text ("blah important info"). It is (was)
possible to have duplicate (colliding) section names, without any kind of
warning or error.
kernel-doc happily used the latter descriptive text for all instances of
printing the <section-name> descriptive text and the former important info
was lost.
One way to "fix" this is to modify the kernel-doc comments, e.g.:
* Note1: foo bar
*
* Note.2: blah zay
For now, kernel-doc will signal an error when it sees colliding section names
like this.

fat: detect media without partition table correctly
I received a complaint that some FAT formated medias (e.g. sd memory cards)
trigger a "unknown partition table" message even though there is no partition
table and they work correctly, while in general (when e.g. formated with
mkdosfs or even Windows Vista) this message is not shown.
Currently this seems only to happen when the medias get formatted with Windows
XP (and possibly Win 2000). Then the boot indicator byte contains garbage
(part of text message) and so do the other parts checked by msdos_paritition
which then later triggers this message.
References: novell bug #364365
Most fat formatted media without partition table contains zeros in the boot
indication and the other tested bytes and so falls through the checks in
msdos_partition, leading it to return with 1 (all is fine).
But some (e.g. WinXP formatted) fat fomated medias don't use boot_ind and so
the check fails and causes a "unkown partition table" warning eventhough there
is none and everything would be fine.
This additional check directly verifies if there is a fat formatted medium
without a partition table.

Add balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to cont_expand_zero()
On the systems, ftruncate() which expand size for FAT became the cause
of OOM. The cont_expand_zero() filled all memory with dirty pages,
and since disk is very slow, limit of page scanning was exceeded, then
it triggered OOM.
This adds balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to avoid filling memory
with dirty pages.
Currently, free_clusters is not updated until it is trusted, because
Windows doesn't update it correctly.
But if user is using FAT driver of Linux, it updates free_clusters
correctly. Instead, this updates it even if it's untrusted, so if
free_clustes is correct, now keep correct value.
Normally utime(2) checks current process is owner of the file, or it
has CAP_FOWNER capability. But FAT filesystem doesn't have uid/gid as
on disk info, so normal check is too unflexible.
Fix fat_setattr() on the case of showexec option. If user specified
showexec option, inode->i_mode may not have S_IXUGO. This just use
inode->i_mode to fix it.
And with this patch, we don't allow chmod() on memory inode, it's just
bad behaviour. IOW, we allow changing S_IWUGO only which can be stored
to disk.

jbd: fix possible journal overflow issues
There are several cases where the running transaction can get buffers added to
its BJ_Metadata list which it never dirtied, which makes its t_nr_buffers
counter end up larger than its t_outstanding_credits counter.
This will cause issues when starting new transactions as while we are logging
buffers we decrement t_outstanding_buffers, so when t_outstanding_buffers goes
negative, we will report that we need less space in the journal than we
actually need, so transactions will be started even though there may not be
enough room for them. In the worst case scenario (which admittedly is almost
impossible to reproduce) this will result in the journal running out of space.
The fix is to only
refile buffers from the committing transaction to the running transactions
BJ_Modified list when b_modified is set on that journal, which is the only way
to be sure if the running transaction has modified that buffer.
This patch also fixes an accounting error in journal_forget, it is possible
that we can call journal_forget on a buffer without having modified it, only
gotten write access to it, so instead of freeing a credit, we only do so if
the buffer was modified. The assert will help catch if this problem occurs.
Without these two patches I could hit this assert within minutes of running
postmark, with them this issue no longer arises. Thank you,

jbd: fix the way the b_modified flag is cleared
Currently at the start of a journal commit we loop through all of the buffers
on the committing transaction and clear the b_modified flag (the flag that is
set when a transaction modifies the buffer) under the j_list_lock.
The problem is that everywhere else this flag is modified only under the jbd
lock buffer flag, so it will race with a running transaction who could
potentially set it, and have it unset by the committing transaction.
This is also a big waste, you can have several thousands of buffers that you
are clearing the modified flag on when you may not need to. This patch
removes this code and instead clears the b_modified flag upon entering
do_get_write_access/journal_get_create_access, so if that transaction does
indeed use the buffer then it will be accounted for properly, and if it does
not then we know we didn't use it.
That will be important for the next patch in this series. Tested thoroughly
by myself using postmark/iozone/bonnie++.
