Sync iocbs have a life cycle that don't need a kioctx. Their retrying, if
any, is done in the context of their owner who has allocated them on the

The sole user of a sync iocb's ctx reference was aio_complete() checking for
an elevated iocb ref count that could never happen. No path which grabs an
iocb ref has access to sync iocbs.
If we were to implement sync iocb cancelation it would be done by the owner of
the iocb using its on-stack reference.
Removing this chunk from aio_complete allows us to remove the entire kioctx
instance from mm_struct, reducing its size by a third. On a i386 testing box
the slab size went from 768 to 504 bytes and from 5 to 8 per page.

The access_ok_tt() macro is bogus, in that a read access is unconditionally
considered valid.
I couldn't find in SCM logs the introduction of this check, but I went back to
2.4.20-1um and the definition was the same.
Possibly this was done to avoid problems with missing set_fs() calls, but
there can't be any I think because they would fail with SKAS mode.
TT-specific code is still to check.
Also, this patch joins common code together, and makes the "address range
wrapping" check happen for all cases, rather than for only some.
This may, possibly, be reoptimized at some time, but the current code doesn't
seem clever, just confused.

printk clears the host errno (I verified this in debugging and it's reasonable
enough, given that it ends via a write call on some fd, especially since
printk() goes on /dev/tty0 which is often the host stdout). So save errno
earlier. There's no reason to change the printk calls to use -err rather than
errno - the assignment can't clear errno.
And in the first failure path, we used to return 0 too (and this time more
clearly), which is totally wrong. 0 is a success fd, which is then registered
and gives a "registering fd twice" warning.

[PATCH] uml: remove bogus WARN_ON, triggerable harmlessly on a page fault race
The below warning was added in place of pte_mkyoung(); if (is_write)
pte_mkdirty();
In fact, if the PTE is not marked young/dirty, our dirty/accessed bit
emulation would cause the TLB permission not to be changed, and so we'd loop,
and given we don't support preemption yet, we'd busy-hang here.
However, I've seen this warning trigger without crashes during a loop of
concurrent kernel builds, at random times (i.e. like a race condition), and I
realized that two concurrent faults on the same page, one on read and one on
write, can trigger it. The read fault gets serviced and the PTE gets marked
writable but clean (it's possible on a shared-writable mapping), while the
generic code sees the PTE was already installed and returns without action. In
this case, we'll see another fault and service it normally.

If we find a pgd is clear, we still have to call into unmap_page_range
PGDIR_SIZE / ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE times, each time checking the clear pgd, in
order to progress the working address to the next pgd.
The fundamental way to solve the problem is to keep track of the end
address we've processed and pass it back to the higher layers.
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
Modification to completely get away from address based work estimate
and instead use an abstract count, with a very small cost for empty
entries as opposed to present pages.
On 2.6.14-git2, ppc64, and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, mapping and unmapping 1TB
of virtual address space takes 1.69s; with the following patch applied,
this operation can be done 1000 times in less than 0.01s

[PATCH] packet writing oops fix
There is an old bug in the pkt_count_states() function that causes stack
corruption. When compiling with gcc 3.x or 2.x it is harmless, but gcc 4
allocates local variables differently, which makes the bug visible.
