[PATCH] md: fix is_mddev_idle calculation now that disk/sector accounting happens when request completes
md needs to monitor the rate of requests to its devices when doing
resync/recovery so that it can back-off when there is non-resync IO. It
does this by comparing resync IO, which it counts, with total IO which is
taken from disk_stats.
disk_stats were recently changed to account sectors when a request
completes instead of when it is queued. This upsets md's calculations.
We could do the sync_io accounting at the end of requests too, but that has
problems. If an underlying device is an md array, the accounting will
still be done when the request is submitted. This could be changed for
some raid levels, but it cannot be changed for raid0 or linear without
substantial code changes.
So instead, we increase the error that is_mddev_idle allows, up to the
maximum amount of resync IO that can be in flight at any time. The
calculation is current fragile as each personality as different limits for
in-flight resync. This should be fixed up.
For now, this simple patch fixes the problem.
Increasing the error margin decreases the sensitivity to non-resync IO. To
partially compensate for this, the time to wait when non-resync IO is
detected is increased so that less steady IO is required to keep the resync
at bay.

[PARISC] Define port->timeout to fix a long msleep in mux.c
This commit is in response to a bug reported by Vesa on the irc channel
a couple of weeks ago.
The bug was that the console would apparently hang (not return) while
using the mux console.
The root cause of this bug is that bash (with readline support) makes a
call to the tcsetattr() glibc function with the argument TCSADRAIN. This
causes the serial core in the kernel use the uart_wait_until_sent() to be
called. This function verifies the mux transmit queue is empty or calls the
msleep_interruptable() with a calculated timeout value that is dependant
upon the port->timeout variable.
The real problem here is that the port->timeout was not defined so it
was defaulted to 0 and the timeout calculation performs the following
calculation:
where char_time is an unsigned long. Since the serial Mux does not use
interrupts, the msleep_interruptable() function waits until the timeout
has been reached ... and when the port->timeout < HZ/50 this timeout will
be a long time. (I have validated that the console will eventually
return ... but it takes quite a while for this to happen).
This patch simply sets the port->timeout on the Mux to HZ/50 to avoid
this long timeout period.

Fix a longstanding smp bug
The problem is that both the timer and ipi interrupts are being called
with interrupts enabled, which isn't what anyone is expecting.
The IPI issue has just started to show up by causing a BUG_ON in the
slab debugging code. The timer issue never shows up because there's an
eiem work around in our irq.c
The fix is to label both these as SA_INTERRUPT which causes the generic
irq code not to enable interrupts.
I also suspect the smp_call_function timeouts we're seeing might be
connected with the fact that we disable IPIs when handling any other
type of interrupt. I've put a WARN_ON in the code for executing
smp_call_function() with IPIs disabled.

[PATCH] VM: fix zone list restart in page allocatate
We must reassign z before looping through the zones kicking kswapd,
since it will be NULL if we hit an OOM condition and jump back to the
beginning again. 'z' is initially assigned before the restart: label. So
move the restart label up a little.
[PATCH] USB: move CONFIG_USB_DEBUG checks into the Makefile
This lets us remove a lot of code in the drivers that were all checking
the same thing. It also found some bugs in a few of the drivers, which
has been fixed up.
