pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocol
Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit. We currently use an unsigned
char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol. This patch changes that to
an unsigned int.
Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in
isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS
interfaces use a one-byte device node number.
But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have. Large HP
Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char
number" to wrap around. This causes errors like this:
pnp: PnP ACPI init
kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.
This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem. It should not
have any adverse effect on ISAPNP or PNPBIOS because their limits are still
enforced in the backends.

asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call
The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.
Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.
More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

Below is a simplified version of cpu_idle_wait, which just makes a dummy

and start using the new idle handler. It eliminates code in the idle

cfq-iosched: do not leak ioc_data across iosched switches
When switching scheduler from cfq, cfq_exit_queue() does not clear
ioc->ioc_data, leaving a dangling pointer that can deceive the following
lookups when the iosched is switched back to cfq. The pattern that can
trigger that is the following:
- elevator switch from cfq to something else;
- module unloading, with elv_unregister() that calls cfq_free_io_context()
on ioc freeing the cic (via the .trim op);
- module gets reloaded and the elevator switches back to cfq;
- reallocation of a cic at the same address as before (with a valid key).
To fix it just assign NULL to ioc_data in __cfq_exit_single_io_context(),
that is called from the regular exit path and from the elevator switching
code. The only path that frees a cic and is not covered is the error handling
one, but cic's freed in this way are never cached in ioc_data.

This patch adds a version of the wait function that just pure polls. While

This check is used for testing whether we can use kmalloc_node() on a node.
Then, if there is a node which only contains HIGHMEM, the system will call
kmalloc_node() which doesn't contain memory for the kernel. If it happens
under SLUB, the kernel will panic. I think this only happens on x86_32-numa.

ub: remove BUG() after __blk_end_request and fix the condition causing it
When __blk_end_request returns nonzero, it means that the request was
not completely processed and some BIOs are still attached. Since we
have dequeued it by that time, it means leaking requests and hanging
processes, which is why BUG() was in there. In ub this happens if
a packet request ends normally, but with residue (e.g. when scsi_id
issues INQUIRY).
The fix is to make sure that arguments passed to __blk_end_request

MTU probe can cause some remedies for FRTO because the normal

[TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+L
This fixes Bugzilla #10384
tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking
whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use.
The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather
complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward
cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it
may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs
arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well,
leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next
cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate
ACK will fix the S counter.
More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to
just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but
it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie.,
the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs
had arrived.
So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state
when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out
might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out
overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports
of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel
before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit 1b6d427bb7e ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging
write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

[TCP]: Fix NewReno's fast rexmit/recovery problems with GSOed skb
Fixes a long-standing bug which makes NewReno recovery crippled.
With GSO the whole head skb was marked as LOST which is in
violation of NewReno procedure that only wants to mark one packet
and ended up breaking our TCP code by causing counter overflow
because our code was built on top of assumption about valid
NewReno procedure. This manifested as triggering a WARN_ON for
the overflow in a number of places.
It seems relatively safe alternative to just do nothing if
tcp_fragment fails due to oom because another duplicate ACK is
likely to be received soon and the fragmentation will be retried.
Special thanks goes to Soeren Sonnenburg <kernel@nn7.de> who was
lucky enough to be able to reproduce this so that the warning
for the overflow was hit. It's not as easy task as it seems even
if this bug happens quite often because the amount of outstanding
data is pretty significant for the mismarkings to lead to an
overflow.
Because it's very late in 2.6.25-rc cycle (if this even makes in
time), I didn't want to touch anything with SACK enabled here.
Fragmenting might be useful for it as well but it's more or less
a policy decision rather than mandatory fix. Thus there's no need
to rush and we can postpone considering tcp_fragment with SACK
for 2.6.26.
In 2.6.24 and earlier, this very same bug existed but the effect
is slightly different because of a small changes in the if
conditions that fit to the patch's context. With them nothing
got lost marker and thus no retransmissions happened.

overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time. Document this.
Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable
callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance
protection can be easily tripped even on UP.

ASM_NOP's for 64-bit kernel with CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is broken
with the recent x86 nops merge. They were using GENERIC_NOPS
which will truncate the upper 32bits of %rsi, because of the missing
64bit rex prefix.
For now, fall back ASM NOPS for generic cpu to K8 NOPS, similar
to the code before the wrong x86 nop merge.
