Fixes slow response when cifs client is mounted to shares on multiple

match first, we searched for the wrong cached files to send oplock break
response for which usually meant that no matching file was found and thus
the server would have to timeout the notification. Oplock break timeout is
about 20 seconds on some servers so this could cause significantly slower

[PATCH] drivers/mtd/redboot.c: recognise a foreign byte sex partition table
The RedBoot boot loader writes flash partition tables containing native
byte sex 32 bit values. When booting an opposite byte sex kernel (e.g. an
LE kernel from BE RedBoot) the current MTD driver fails to handle the
partition table and therefore is unable to generate the correct partition
map for the flash.
So far as I am aware this problem is ARM specific, because only ARM
supports software change of the CPU (memory system) byte sex, however the
partition table parsing is in generic MTD code. The patch below has been
tested on NSLU2 (an IXP4XX based system) with a patch,
10-ixp4xx-copy-from.patch (submitted to linux-arm-kernel - it's ARM
specific) required to make the maps/ixp4xx.c driver work with an LE kernel.
Builds of the patched system are in the 'unstable' release of OpenSlug and
UcSlugC available from www.nslu2-linux.org. These builds are BE, the
archives at www.nslu2-linux.org and www.handhelds.org (see
monotone.vanille.de) can be built LE (currently DISTRO targets
nslu-ltu.conf for LE thumb uclibc (32 bit kernel) and nslu2-lau.conf,
nslu2-lag.conf for LE arm uclibc/glibc) and this patch has been tested
extensively will both BE and LE systems on the NSLU2 (including swapping
between BE and LE by reflashing from both RedBoot and Linux).
The patch recognises that the FIS directory (the partition table) is
byte-reversed by examining the partition table size, which is known to be
one erase block (this is an assumption made elsewhere in redboot.c). If
the size matches the erase block after byte swapping the value then
byte-reversal is assumed, if not no further action is taken. The patched
code is fail safe; should redboot.c be changed to support a partition table
with a modified size field the test will fail and the partition table will
be assumed to have the host byte sex.
If byte-reversal is detected the patch byte swaps the remainder of the 32
bit fields in the copy of the table; this copy is then used to set up the
MTD partition map.

kill that logic, always expire immediately. Also fix a potential timer
race condition.
Patch looks bigger than it is, because it moves a function.
Later we changed iSeries_hpte_insert to cope with the bolting case, and called
that instead from create_pte_mapping() (which was renamed to htab_bolt_mapping)
(3c726f8dee6f55e96475574e9f645327e461884c).
Unfortunately that change introduced a subtle bug, where we pass an absolute
address to iSeries_hpte_insert() where it expects a physical address. This
leads to us calling phys_to_abs() twice on the physical address, which is
seriously bogus.
This only causes a problem if the absolute address from the first translation
can be looked up again in the chunk_map, which depends on the size and layout
of memory. I've seen it fail on one box, but not others.
The minimal fix is to pass the physical address to iSeries_hpte_insert(). For
2.6.17 we should make phys_to_abs() BUG if we try to double-translate an
address.
