[SCSI] mptsas: do not use ioc->handle to locate hba portinfo structure
While performing hardware raid reset testing via the raid's client, I
noticed that sometimes, following the reset, that there would be more
raid targets in the lsscsi output than there actually were raid
targets. I tracked this down to the following issue.
Fusion cannot always find the mptsas_portinfo structure for the hba
because it uses the handle stored in ioc->handle to locate it. The
problem is that the firmware can change the handle associated with the
hba when h/w raid is reset (via the raid client). When this happens,
the driver will allocate another mptsas_portinfo structure and link it
into the chain of said structures. This ultimately causes confusion
within the driver resulting in targets not being removed when they
should be.
Eric Moore pointed out that the hba's portinfo structure is always the
first structure on the sas_topology list. This patch modifies
mptsas.c to access the hba's portinfo structure by taking the first
structure on said list.

Fix booting pentium+ with dodgy TSC
We handle a broken tsc these days, so no need to panic. We clear the

Now that we're mapping registers in the DRM driver at load time, the

have all the right bits (and longer term use the DRM headers as the sole

This patch adds 945GME support to the DRM headers, fixing a regression
reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10395.
Since 2.6.25-rc7, I've been seeing an occasional livelock on one x86_64
machine, copying kernel trees to tmpfs, paging out to swap.
Signature: 6000 pages under writeback but never getting written; most
tasks of interest trying to reclaim, but each get_swap_bio waiting for a
bio in mempool_alloc's io_schedule_timeout(5*HZ); every five seconds an
atomic page allocation failure report from kblockd failing to allocate a
sense_buffer in __scsi_get_command.
__scsi_get_command has a (one item) free_list to protect against this,
but rc1's [SCSI] use dynamically allocated sense buffer de25deb18016f66dcdede165d07654559bb332bc upset that slightly. When it
fails to allocate from the separate sense_slab, instead of giving up, it
must fall back to the command free_list, which is sure to have a
sense_buffer attached.
Either my earlier -rc testing missed this, or there's some recent
contributory factor. One very significant factor is SLUB, which merges
slab caches when it can, and on 64-bit happens to merge both bio cache
and sense_slab cache into kmalloc's 128-byte cache: so that under this
swapping load, bios above are liable to gobble up all the slots needed
for scsi_cmnd sense_buffers below.
That's disturbing behaviour, and I tried a few things to fix it. Adding
a no-op constructor to the sense_slab inhibits SLUB from merging it, and
stops all the allocation failures I was seeing; but it's rather a hack,
and perhaps in different configurations we have other caches on the
swapout path which are ill-merged.
Another alternative is to revert the separate sense_slab, using
cache-line-aligned sense_buffer allocated beyond scsi_cmnd from the one
kmem_cache; but that might waste more memory, and is only a way of
diverting around the known problem.
While I don't like seeing the allocation failures, and hate the idea of
all those bios piled up above a scsi host working one by one, it does
seem to emerge fairly soon with the livelock fix. So lacking better
ideas, stick with that one clear fix for now.

ipmi: change device node ordering to reflect probe order
In 2.6.14 a patch was merged which switching the order of the ipmi device
naming from in-order-of-discovery over to reverse-order-of-discovery.
So on systems with multiple BMC interfaces, the ipmi device names are being
created in reverse order relative to how they are discovered on the system
(e.g. on an IBM x3950 multinode server with N nodes, the device name for the
BMC in the first node is /dev/ipmiN-1 and the device name for the BMC in the
last node is /dev/ipmi0, etc.).
The problem is caused by the list handling routines chosen in dmi_scan.c.
Using list_add() causes the multiple ipmi devices to be added to the device
list using a stack-paradigm and so the ipmi driver subsequently pulls them off
during initialization in LIFO order. This patch changes the
dmi_save_ipmi_device() list handling paradigm to a queue, thereby allowing the
ipmi driver to build the ipmi device names in the order in which they are

cgroups: add cgroup support for enabling controllers at boot time
The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are:
- foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy
- foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem
As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time;
all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on
a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata)
are up to the foo subsystem.
This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be,
but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems
wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing
since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run.

Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than
processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead
to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to
1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page).
I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or
without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.
Unix bench's execl test result on x86_64 was
== just after boot without mounting any cgroup fs.==
mem_cgorup=off : Execl Throughput 43.0 3150.1 732.6
mem_cgroup=on : Execl Throughput 43.0 2932.6 682.0

[MIPS] Make KGDB compile on UP
Building UP kernel with KGDB enabled produces the following errors and warning

Fix the errors by not directly including <asm/smp.h> (which is already included
by <linux/smp.h>) and the warning by enclosing kgdb_wait() in #ifdef CONFIG_SMP.
