[PATCH] PCI: Give PCI config access initialization a defined ordering

I moved it to a separate function which is safer.

This avoids problems with the linker reordering them and the
less useful PCI config space access methods taking priority
over the better ones.

Fixes some problems with broken MMCONFIG

[PATCH] shpchp - Fix incorrect return value of interrupt handler

Current SHPCHP driver has a bug in its interrupt handler which cause
"IRQ #: nobody cared" oops. This problem can be reproduced easily by
the following operation.

    # cd /sys/bus/pci/slots/<slot#>
    # while true; do echo 1 > attention ; done &

The reason is that when command complete interrupt is raised, current
SHPCHP driver's interrupt handler returns IRQ_NONE regardless of if
the interrupt is handled or not.

This patch fixes this issue.

When quota is being turned off we assumed that all the references to dquots
were already dropped.  That need not be true as inodes being deleted are
not on superblock's inodes list and hence we need not reach it when
removing quota references from inodes.  So invalidate_dquots() has to wait
for all the users of dquots (as quota is already marked as turned off, no
new references can be acquired and so this is bound to happen rather
early).  When we do this, we can also remove the iprune_sem locking as it

2) Reduce the size of (files_struct), using a special 32 bits (or
   64bits) embedded_fd_set, instead of a 1024 bits fd_set for the

   bytes per task) as most tasks dont open more than 32 files.  D-Cache
   footprint for such tasks is also reduced to the minimum.

3) Reduce size of allocated fdset.  Currently two full pages are
   allocated, that is 32768 bits on x86 for example, and way too much.  The
   minimum is now L1_CACHE_BYTES.

UP and SMP should benefit from this patch, because most tasks will touch
only one cache line when open()/close() stdin/stdout/stderr (0/1/2),
(next_fd, close_on_exec_init, open_fds_init, fd_array[0 ..  2] being in the

[PATCH] ext3_readdir: use generic readahead

Linus points out that ext3_readdir's readahead only cuts in when
ext3_readdir() is operating at the very start of the directory.  So for large
directories we end up performing no readahead at all and we suck.

So take it all out and use the core VM's page_cache_readahead().  This means
that ext3 directory reads will use all of readahead's dynamic sizing goop.

Note that we're using the directory's filp->f_ra to hold the readahead state,
but readahead is actually being performed against the underlying blockdev's
address_space.  Fortunately the readahead code is all set up to handle this.

Tested with printk.  It works.  I was struggling to find a real workload which
actually cared.

[PATCH] swsusp: userland interface

This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp.

The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot
device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related
operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.
 Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a
selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which
sectors of the resume partition are available to them.

The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling
functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp.

The interface documentation is included in the patch.

The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will
be 10 (ie.  misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been
requested.
