x86: fix PAE pmd_bad bootup warning
Fix warning from pmd_bad() at bootup on a HIGHMEM64G HIGHPTE x86_32.
That came from 9fc34113f6880b215cbea4e7017fc818700384c2 x86: debug pmd_bad();
but we understand now that the typecasting was wrong for PAE in the previous

weaken every pmd_bad and pud_bad check to let huge pages slip through - in
part they check that we _don't_ have a huge page where it's not expected.
Put the x86 pmd_bad() and pud_bad() definitions back to what they have long
been: they can be improved (x86_32 should use PTE_MASK, to stop PAE thinking
junk in the upper word is good; and x86_64 should follow x86_32's stricter
comparison, to stop thinking any subset of required bits is good); but that
should be a later patch.
Fix Hans' good observation that follow_page() will never find pmd_huge()
because that would have already failed the pmd_bad test: test pmd_huge in
between the pmd_none and pmd_bad tests. Tighten x86's pmd_huge() check?
No, once it's a hugepage entry, it can get quite far from a good pmd: for
example, PROT_NONE leaves it with only ACCESSED of the KERN_PGTABLE bits.
However... though follow_page() contains this and another test for huge
pages, so it's nice to keep it working on them, where does it actually get
called on a huge page? get_user_pages() checks is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma) to
to call alternative hugetlb processing, as does unmap_vmas() and others.

[PATCH] fix SMP ordering hole in fcntl_setlk()
fcntl_setlk()/close() race prevention has a subtle hole - we need to
make sure that if we *do* have an fcntl/close race on SMP box, the
access to descriptor table and inode->i_flock won't get reordered.
As it is, we get STORE inode->i_flock, LOAD descriptor table entry vs.
STORE descriptor table entry, LOAD inode->i_flock with not a single
lock in common on both sides. We do have BKL around the first STORE,
but check in locks_remove_posix() is outside of BKL and for a good
reason - we don't want BKL on common path of close(2).
Solution is to hold ->file_lock around fcheck() in there; that orders
us wrt removal from descriptor table that preceded locks_remove_posix()
on close path and we either come first (in which case eviction will be
handled by the close side) or we'll see the effect of close and do
eviction ourselves. Note that even though it's read-only access,
we do need ->file_lock here - rcu_read_lock() won't be enough to
order the things.
And with that last patch to affs killing the last put_inode instance we
can finally, after many years of transition kill this racy and awkward
interface.

pata_atiixp: Don't disable
A couple of distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu) were having weird problems with the
ATI IXP series PATA controllers being reported as simplex. At the heart of
the problem is that both distros ignored the recommendations to load pata_acpi
and ata_generic *AFTER* specific host drivers.
The underlying cause however is that if you D3 and then D0 an ATI IXP it
helpfully throws away some configuration and won't let you rewrite it.
Add checks to ata_generic and pata_acpi to pin ATIIXP devices. Possibly the
real answer here is to quirk them and pin them, but right now we can't do that
before they've been pcim_enable()'d by a driver.
I'm indebted to David Gero for this. His bug report not only reported the
problem but identified the cause correctly and he had tested the right values

sata_mv NCQ-EH for FIS-based switching
Convert sata_mv's EH for FIS-based switching (FBS) over to the

multiple failed links on a port-multiplier when using NCQ.
To do this, we clear the ERR_DEV bit in the EDMA Halt-Conditions register,
so that the EDMA engine doesn't self-disable on the first NCQ error.
Our EH code sets the MV_PP_FLAG_DELAYED_EH flag to prevent new commands
being queued while we await completion of all outstanding NCQ commands
on all links of the failed PM.
The SATA Test Control register tells us which links have failed,
so we must only wait for any other active links to finish up
before we stop the EDMA and run the .error_handler afterward.

sata_mv delayed eh handling
Introduce a new "delayed error handling" mechanism in sata_mv,

This involves a port flag (MV_PP_FLAG_DELAYED_EH) to prevent new
commands being queued, and a pmp bitmap to indicate which pmp links
had NCQ errors.
The new mv_pmp_error_handler() uses those values to invoke
ata_eh_analyze_ncq_error() on each failed link, prior to freezing
the port and passing control to sata_pmp_error_handler().
This is based upon a strategy suggested by Tejun.

all the time - against the intention of this code.
The result was that in practice we hit a global spinlock every
time cpu_clock() is called - which - even though cpu_clock()
is used for tracing and debugging, is suboptimal.
While at it, also:
- move the irq disabling to the outest layer,
this should make cpu_clock() warp-free when called with irqs
enabled.
- use long long instead of cycles_t - for platforms where cycles_t
is 32-bit.

When the echoed value was less than the number of processores, the result of the
sentence "shares/nr_cpu_ids" was 0, and then the system called div64() to divide
the result, the Div0 error occured.
It is unnecessary that the shares value is divided by nr_cpu_ids, I think.
Because in the function __update_group_shares_cpu() and init_tg_cfs_entry(),
the shares value isn't divided by nr_cpu_ids when setting shares of the sched
entity.
This patch fixes this bug. And echoing ULONG_MAX value into cpu.shares also
causes Div0 error, so we set a macro MAX_SHARES to limit the max value of
shares.
Concurrent calls to detach_destroy_domains and arch_init_sched_domains
were prevented by the old scheduler subsystem cpu hotplug mutex. When
this got converted to get_online_cpus() the locking got broken.
Unlike before now several processes can concurrently enter the critical

This looks like its indeed not cancelled at all and migrates the it to
another cpu. Fix it via a proper hotplug notifier mechanism.

We currently use an optimization to skip the overhead of wake-idle
processing if more than one task is assigned to a run-queue. The
assumption is that the system must already be load-balanced or we
wouldnt be overloaded to begin with.
The problem is that we are looking at rq->nr_running, which may include
RT tasks in addition to CFS tasks. Since the presence of RT tasks
really has no bearing on the balance status of CFS tasks, this throws
the calculation off.
This patch changes the logic to only consider the number of CFS tasks
when making the decision to optimze the wake-idle.
Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a logic error in task_wake_up_rt() where we
will always evaluate to "true". You can find the thread here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296
In reality, we only want to try to push tasks away when a wake up request is
not going to preempt the current task. So lets fix it.
Note: We introduce test_tsk_need_resched() instead of open-coding the flag
check so that the merge-conflict with -rt should help remind us that we
may need to support NEEDS_RESCHED_DELAYED in the future, too.

sched: optimize calc_delta_mine()
Joel noticed that the !lw->inv_weight contition isn't unlikely anymore so
remove the unlikely annotation. Also, remove the two div64_u64() inv_weight
calculations, which makes them rely on the calc_delta_mine() path as well.
