[PATCH] compound page: use page[1].lru
If a compound page has its own put_page_testzero destructor (the only current
example is free_huge_page), that is noted in page[1].mapping of the compound
page. But that's rather a poor place to keep it: functions which call
set_page_dirty_lock after get_user_pages (e.g. Infiniband's
__ib_umem_release) ought to be checking first, otherwise set_page_dirty is
liable to crash on what's not the address of a struct address_space.
And now I'm about to make that worse: it turns out that every compound page
needs a destructor, so we can no longer rely on hugetlb pages going their own
special way, to avoid further problems of page->mapping reuse. For example,
not many people know that: on 50% of i386 -Os builds, the first tail page of a
compound page purports to be PageAnon (when its destructor has an odd
address), which surprises page_add_file_rmap.
Keep the compound page destructor in page[1].lru.next instead. And to free up
the common pairing of mapping and index, also move compound page order from
index to lru.prev. Slab reuses page->lru too: but if we ever need slab to use
compound pages, it can easily stack its use above this.
(akpm: decoded version of the above: the tail pages of a compound page now
have ->mapping==NULL, so there's no need for the set_page_dirty[_lock]()
caller to check that they're not compund pages before doing the dirty).

[IPSEC]: Fix strange IPsec freeze.
Problem discovered and initial patch by Olaf Kirch:
there's a problem with IPsec that has been bugging some of our users
for the last couple of kernel revs. Every now and then, IPsec will
freeze the machine completely. This is with openswan user land,
and with kernels up to and including 2.6.16-rc2.
I managed to debug this a little, and what happens is that we end
up looping in xfrm_lookup, and never get out. With a bit of debug
printks added, I can this happening:
ip_route_output_flow calls xfrm_lookup
xfrm_find_bundle returns NULL (apparently we're in the
middle of negotiating a new SA or something)
We therefore call xfrm_tmpl_resolve. This returns EAGAIN
We go to sleep, waiting for a policy update.
Then we loop back to the top
Apparently, the dst_orig that was passed into xfrm_lookup
has been dropped from the routing table (obsolete=2)
This leads to the endless loop, because we now create
a new bundle, check the new bundle and find it's stale
(stale_bundle -> xfrm_bundle_ok -> dst_check() return 0)
People have been testing with the patch below, which seems to fix the
problem partially. They still see connection hangs however (things
only clear up when they start a new ping or new ssh). So the patch
is obvsiouly not sufficient, and something else seems to go wrong.
I'm grateful for any hints you may have...
I suggest that we simply bail out always. If the dst decides to die
on us later on, the packet will be dropped anyway. So there is no
great urgency to retry here. Once we have the proper resolution
queueing, we can then do the retry again.

[PATCH] x86_64: GART DMA merging fix
Don't touch the non DMA members in the sg list in dma_map_sg in the IOMMU
Some drivers (in particular ST) ran into problems because they reused the sg
lists after passing them to pci_map_sg(). The merging procedure in the K8
GART IOMMU corrupted the state. This patch changes it to only touch the dma*
entries during merging, but not the other fields. Approach suggested by Dave
Miller.
We found a problem with x86_64 kernels with preemption enabled, where
having multiple tasks doing ptrace singlesteps around the same time will
cause the system to 'oops'. The problem seems that a task can get
preempted out of the do_debug() processing while it is running on the
DEBUG_STACK stack. If another task on that same cpu then enters do_debug()
and uses the same per-cpu DEBUG_STACK stack, the previous preempted tasks's
stack contents can be corrupted, and the system will oops when the
preempted task is context switched back in again.
This patch disables preemptions for the task upon entry to do_debug(), before
interrupts are reenabled, and then disables preemption before exiting
do_debug(), after disabling interrupts. I've noticed that the task can be
preempted either at the end of an interrupt, or on the call to
force_sig_info() on the spin_unlock_irqrestore() processing. It might be
better to attempt to code a fix in entry.S around the code that calls
do_debug().
