[PATCH] elevator: move clearing of unplug flag earlier
A flag was recently added to the elevator code to avoid
performing an unplug when reuests are being re-queued.
The goal of this flag was to avoid a deep recursion that
can occur when re-queueing requests after a SCSI device/host
reset. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/17/254
However, that fix added the flag near the bottom of a case
statement, where an earlier break (in an if statement) could
transport one out of the case, without setting the flag.
This patch sets the flag earlier in the case statement.
I re-discovered the deep recursion recently during testing;
I was told that it was a known problem, and the fix to it was
in the kernel I was testing. Indeed it was ... but it didn't
fix the bug. With the patch below, I no longer see the bug.

[MIPS] SMTC: Instant IPI replay.
SMTC pseudo-interrupts between TCs are deferred and queued if the target
TC is interrupt-inhibited (IXMT). In the first SMTC prototypes, these
queued IPIs were serviced on return to user mode, or on entry into the
kernel idle loop. The INSTANT_REPLAY option dispatches them as part of
local_irq_restore() processing, which adds runtime overhead (hence the
option to turn it off), but ensures that IPIs are handled promptly even
under heavy I/O interrupt load.

[PATCH] resierfs: avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmapped
This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time.
On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in
last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the
page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that
the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent
replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with
sanity check that page has to be not mapped.
The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an
inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are
serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the
mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags.
reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is
set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped
page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

However, if a write fault instantiates the pte, fix_write_pf() incorrectly

Fix is to detect the condition and only report a guest page fault on a user

[PATCH] KVM: fix race between mmio reads and injected interrupts
The kvm mmio read path looks like:
1. guest read faults
2. kvm emulates read, calls emulator_read_emulated()
3. fails as a read requires userspace help
4. exit to userspace
5. userspace emulates read, kvm sets vcpu->mmio_read_completed
6. re-enter guest, fault again
7. kvm emulates read, calls emulator_read_emulated()
8. succeeds as vcpu->mmio_read_emulated is set
9. instruction completes and guest is resumed
A problem surfaces if the userspace exit (step 5) also requests an interrupt
injection. In that case, the guest does not re-execute the original
instruction, but the interrupt handler. The next time an mmio read is
exectued (likely for a different address), step 3 will find
vcpu->mmio_read_completed set and return the value read for the original
instruction.
The problem manifested itself in a few annoying ways:
- little squares appear randomly on console when switching virtual terminals
- ne2000 fails under nfs read load
- rtl8139 complains about "pci errors" even though the device model is
incapable of issuing them.
Fix by skipping interrupt injection if an mmio read is pending.
A better fix is to avoid re-entry into the guest, and re-emulating immediately
instead. However that's a bit more complex.

On 64-bit machines, if an atomic counter is explicitly set to a
negative value, the atomic_dec_if_positive function will decrement and
store the next smallest value in the atomic counter, contrary to its
intended operation.
The comparison to determine if the decrement will make the result
negative was done by the "addic." instruction, which operates on a
64-bit value, namely the zero-extended word loaded from the atomic
variable. This patch uses an explicit word compare (cmpwi) and
changes the addic. to an addi (also changing "=&r" to "=&b" so that r0
isn't used, and addi doesn't become li).
This also fixes a bug for both 32-bit and 64-bit in that previously
0x80000000 was considered positive, since the result after
decrementing is positive. Now it is considered negative.
Also, I clarify the return value in the comments just to make it clear
that the value returned is always the decremented value, even if that
value is not stored back to the atomic counter.

[POWERPC] Fix OF node refcnt underflow in 836x and 832x platform code
Incorrect use of of_find_node_by_name() causes of_node_put()
on a node which has already been put. It causes the refcount of
the node to underflow, which triggers the WARN_ON in kref_get
for 836x and 832x. This fixes it.

[POWERPC] Fix broken DMA on non-LPAR pSeries
It appears that the iommu table address is never stored, and thus
never found, on non-lpar systems. Thus, for example, during boot:
<7>[ 93.067916] PCI: Scanning bus 0001:41
<7>[ 93.068542] PCI: Found 0001:41:01.0 [8086/100f] 000200 00
<7>[ 93.068550] PCI: Calling quirk c0000000007822e0 for 0001:41:01.0
<7>[ 93.069815] PCI: Fixups for bus 0001:41
<4>[ 93.070167] iommu: Device 0001:41:01.0 has no iommu table
<7>[ 93.070251] PCI: Bus scan for 0001:41 returning with max=41
No iommu table? How can that be? Well, circa line 471 of
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/iommu.c we see the code:
and a few lines later is the surprising print statement about
the missing table. Seems that this loop ran unto the end, never
once finding a non-null PCI_DN(dn)->iommu_table.
The problem can be found a few lines earlier: it sems that the
value of PCI_DN(dn)->iommu_table is never ever set. Thus, the
patch sets it.
The patch was tested on a Power4 system running in full system
partition mode, which is where I saw the problem. It works; I've
not done any wider testing. Had a brief discussion on this on irc.

[POWERPC] Fix cell's mmio nvram to properly parse device tree
The mmio nvram driver (used by cell only atm) isn't properly parsing
the device-tree, meaning that nvram isn't found correctly on the new
Cell blades. It works ok for old blades where the nvram is at the
root of the device tree but fails on Malta and CAB when it's hanging
off axon. This fixes it by using the proper OF parsing functions.

[POWERPC] Remove bogus sanity check in pci -> OF node code
The new implementation of pci_device_to_OF_node() on ppc32 has a bogus
sanity check in it that can cause oopses at boot when no device node is
present, and might hit correct cases with older/weird apple device-trees
where they have the type "vci" for the chaos bridge.

ocfs2: Directory c/mtime update fixes
ocfs2 wasn't updating c/mtime on directories during dirent
creation/deletion. Fix ocfs2_unlink(), ocfs2_rename() and
__ocfs2_add_entry() by adding the proper code to update the struct inode and
push the change out to disk.
This helps rename/unlink on nfs exported file systems in particular as those
clients compare directory time values to avoid a full re-reading a directory
which hasn't changed.
ocfs2_rename() loses some superfluous error handling as a result of this
patch.

HID: put usb_interface instead of usb_device into hid->dev to fix udevinfo breakage
The commit 4916b3a57fc94664677d439b911b8aaf86c7ec23 introduced a
hid regression between 2.6.19 and 2.6.20-rc1. The device put in

HID: hid/hid-input.c doesn't need to include linux/usb/input.h
There is no reason for generic hid-input.c to include usb-specific
input.h.
As a sideeffect, this also fixes warning of redefinition of dbg()
macro, when hid-input.c is compiled with DEBUG (as there is a clash
between dbg() from hid.h and usb/input.h).
