Apply memory policies to top two highest zones when highest zone is ZONE_MOVABLE
The NUMA layer only supports NUMA policies for the highest zone. When
ZONE_MOVABLE is configured with kernelcore=, the the highest zone becomes
ZONE_MOVABLE. The result is that policies are only applied to allocations
like anonymous pages and page cache allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE when the
zone is used.
This patch applies policies to the two highest zones when the highest zone
is ZONE_MOVABLE. As ZONE_MOVABLE consists of pages from the highest "real"
zone, it's always functionally equivalent.
The patch has been tested on a variety of machines both NUMA and non-NUMA
covering x86, x86_64 and ppc64. No abnormal results were seen in
kernbench, tbench, dbench or hackbench. It passes regression tests from
the numactl package with and without kernelcore= once numactl tests are
patched to wait for vmstat counters to update.
akpm: this is the nasty hack to fix NUMA mempolicies in the presence of
ZONE_MOVABLE and kernelcore= in 2.6.23. Christoph says "For .24 either merge
the mobility or get the other solution that Mel is working on. That solution
would only use a single zonelist per node and filter on the fly. That may
help performance and also help to make memory policies work better."

autofs4: deadlock during create
Due to inconsistent locking in the VFS between calls to lookup and
revalidate deadlock can occur in the automounter.
The inconsistency is that the directory inode mutex is held for both lookup
and revalidate calls when called via lookup_hash whereas it is held only
for lookup during a path walk. Consequently, if the mutex is held during a
call to revalidate autofs4 can't release the mutex to callback the daemon
as it can't know whether it owns the mutex.
This situation happens when a process tries to create a directory within an
automount and a second process also tries to create the same directory
between the lookup and the mkdir. Since the first process has dropped the
mutex for the daemon callback, the second process takes it during
revalidate leading to deadlock between the autofs daemon and the second
process when the daemon tries to create the mount point directory.
After spending quite a bit of time trying to resolve this on more than one
occassion, using rather complex and ulgy approaches, it turns out that just
delaying the hashing of the dentry until the create operation works fine.

synchronous lumpy reclaim: wait for page writeback when directly reclaiming contiguous areas
Lumpy reclaim works by selecting a lead page from the LRU list and then
selecting pages for reclaim from the order-aligned area of pages. In the
situation were all pages in that region are inactive and not referenced by any
process over time, it works well.
In the situation where there is even light load on the system, the pages may
not free quickly. Out of a area of 1024 pages, maybe only 950 of them are
freed when the allocation attempt occurs because lumpy reclaim returned early.
This patch alters the behaviour of direct reclaim for large contiguous
blocks.
The first attempt to call shrink_page_list() is asynchronous but if it fails,
the pages are submitted a second time and the calling process waits for the IO
to complete. This may stall allocators waiting for contiguous memory but that
should be expected behaviour for high-order users. It is preferable behaviour
to potentially queueing unnecessary areas for IO. Note that kswapd will not
stall in this fashion.

synchronous lumpy reclaim: ensure we count pages transitioning inactive via clear_active_flags
As pointed out by Mel when reclaim is applied at higher orders a significant
amount of IO may be started. As this takes finite time to drain reclaim will
consider more areas than ultimatly needed to satisfy the request. This leads
to more reclaim than strictly required and reduced success rates.
I was able to confirm Mel's test results on systems locally. These show that
even under light load the success rates drop off far more than expected.
Testing with a modified version of his patch (which follows) I was able to
allocate almost all of ZONE_MOVABLE with a near idle system. I ran 5 test
passes sequentially following system boot (the system has 29 hugepages in
ZONE_MOVABLE):
2.6.23-rc1 11 8 6 7 7
sync_lumpy 28 28 29 29 26
These show that although hugely better than the near 0% success normally
expected we can only allocate about a 1/4 of the zone. Using synchronous
reclaim for these allocations we get close to 100% as expected.
I have also run our standard high order tests and these show no regressions in
allocation success rates at rest, and some significant improvements under
load.

Serial 8250: handle saving the clear-on-read bits from the LSR and MSR
Reading the LSR clears the break, parity, frame error, and overrun bits in
the 8250 chip, but these are not being saved in all places that read the
LSR. Same goes for the MSR delta bits. Save the LSR bits off whenever the
lsr is read so they can be handled later in the receive routine. Save the
MSR bits to be handled in the modem status routine.
Also, clear the stored bits and clear the interrupt registers before
enabling interrupts, to avoid handling old values of the stored bits in the
interrupt routines.

serial: don't optimise away baud rate changes when BOTHER is used
The uart_set_termios() function will bail out early without bothering to
touch the hardware, if it decides that nothing "relevant" has changed.
Unfortunately, its idea of "relevant" doesn't include c_[io]speed. So if
the baud rate bits are BOTHER and you just change the speed, the change
gets optimised away.
This patch makes it ignore the old Bfoo bits in c_cflag and just check
whether c_ispeed and c_ospeed have changed. Those integers are always set

Ok, lets kill the message. As Alois Nešpor also saw, that's fixed up by Yenta,
so PCI does not have to warn about it. PCI could still warn about it if
is_cardbus is 0 in that instance of pci_scan_bridge(), but so far I have
not seen a report where this would have been the case so I think we can
spare the kernel of that check (removes ~300 lines of asm) unless debugging
is done.
History: The whole check was added in the days before we had the fixup
for this in Yenta and pci=assign-busses was the only way to get CardBus
cards detected on many (not all) of the machines which give this warning.
In theory, there could be cases when this warning would be triggered and
it's not cardbus, then the warning should still apply, but I think this
should only be the case when working on a completely broken PCI setup,
but one may have already enabled the debug code in drivers/pci and the
patched check would then trigger.
I do not sign this off yet because it's completely untested so far, but
everyone is free to test it (with the #ifdef DEBUG replaced by #if 1 and
pr_debug( changed to printk(.
We may also dump the whole check (remove everything within the #ifdef from
the source) if that's perferred.
On Alois Nešpor's machine this would then (only when debugging) this message:
"PCI: Bus #0b (-#0e) is partially hidden behind transparent bridge #0a (-#0b)"
"partially" should be in the message on his machine because #0b of #0b-#0e
is reachable behind #0a-#0b, but not #0c-#0e.
But that differentiation is now moot anyway because the fixup in Yenta takes
care of it as far as I could see so far, which means that unless somebody
is debugging a totally broken PCI setup, this message is not needed anymore,
not even for debugging PCI.
Ok, here the patch with the following changes:
* Refined to say that the bus is only partially hidden when the parent
bus numbers are not totally way off (outside of) the child bus range
* remove the reference to pci=assign-busses and the plea to report it
We could add a pure source code-only comment to keep a reference to
pci=assign-busses the in case when this is triggered by someone who
is debugging the cause of this message and looking the way to solve it.
quirk_e100_interrupts() is called after PCI controller is initialized
and before PCI bus enumeration is performed. On some powerpc platforms
which modify PCI controller configuration and set different MEM and IO
windows than those set by firmware quirk_e100_interrupt() is causing
kernel panic as it tries to read from device BAR0 offets which at this
time points to a invalid PCI window (set by firmware).
This patch delays the quirk_100_interrupt() to pci_fixup_final phase,
which happens after bus enumeration and before PCI enable and
device driver initialization.
