Revert "SLUB: Alternate fast paths using cmpxchg_local"
This reverts commit 1f84260c8ce3b1ce26d4c1d6dedc2f33a3a29c0c, which is
suspected to be the reason for some very occasional and hard-to-trigger
crashes that usually look related to memory allocation (mostly reported
in networking, but since that's generally the most common source of
shortlived allocations - and allocations in interrupt contexts - that in
itself is not a big clue).
See for example
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9973
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/278
etc.
One promising suspicion for what the root cause of bug is (which also
explains why it's so hard to trigger in practice) came from Eric
Dumazet:
"I wonder how SLUB_FASTPATH is supposed to work, since it is affected
by a classical ABA problem of lockless algo.
cmpxchg_local(&c->freelist, object, object[c->offset]) can succeed,
while an interrupt came (on this cpu), and several allocations were
done, and one free was performed at the end of this interruption, so
'object' was recycled.
c->freelist can then contain the previous value (object), but
object[c->offset] was changed by IRQ.
We then put back in freelist an already allocated object."
but another reason for the revert is simply that everybody agrees that
this code was the main suspect just by virtue of the pattern of oopses.

[MIPS] Handle I-cache coherency in flush_cache_range()
So far flush_cache_range() did't consider the I-cache largely because it
did rarely ever matter to real world code. This was working primarily
because normally code and data are don't share the same pages - with the
exception of MIPS16 code which uses address constants embedded between
the code. The following sequence of events may break the code:
o MIPS16 executable being loaded
o dynamic linker relocates the address constants embedded into the code:
o Uses mprotect(2) to make code pages PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE
o Performs the actual relocations by writing to the pages which likely
are COW. Because no PROT_EXEC is set I-cache coherence will not be
considered.
o Uses mprotect(2) to switch code pages back to PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC.
This results in a call to flush_cache_range() which also does not
consider I-caches.
o => executing the page just having been relocated may now result in the
I-cache getting refilled with stale data from memory.

libata: eliminate the home grown dma padding in favour of
that provided by the block layer
ATA requires that all DMA transfers begin and end on word boundaries.
Because of this, a large amount of machinery grew up in ide to adjust
scatterlists on this basis. However, as of 2.5, the block layer has a
dma_alignment variable which ensures both the beginning and length of a
DMA transfer are aligned on the dma_alignment boundary. Although the
block layer does adjust the beginning of the transfer to ensure this
happens, it doesn't actually adjust the length, it merely makes sure
that space is allocated for transfers beyond the declared length. The
upshot of this is that scatterlists may be padded to any size between
the actual length and the length adjusted to the dma_alignment safely
knowing that memory is allocated in this region.
Right at the moment, SCSI takes the default dma_aligment which is on a
512 byte boundary. Note that this aligment only applies to transfers
coming in from user space. However, since all kernel allocations are
automatically aligned on a minimum of 32 byte boundaries, it is safe to
adjust them in this manner as well.
tj: * Adjusting sg after padding is done in block layer. Make libata
set queue alignment correctly for ATAPI devices and drop broken
sg mangling from ata_sg_setup().
* Use request->raw_data_len for ATAPI transfer chunk size.
* Killed qc->raw_nbytes.

is what lower layers are primarily interested in when allocating,
filling up DMA tables and setting up the controller.
Both padding and draining extend the data area to accomodate
controller characteristics. As any controller which speaks SCSI can
handle underflows, feeding larger data area is safe.
So, this patch makes the primary data length field, request->data_len,
indicate the size of full data area and add a separate length field,
request->raw_data_len, for the unmodified request size. The latter is
used to report to higher layer (userland) and where the original

can end up with a enabled interrupt line after the last handler was
removed, which can result in spurious interrupts.
Fix this by adding a default_shutdown function, which is only
installed, when the irqchip implementation does provide neither a
shutdown nor a disable function.

elevator: make elevator_get() attempt to load the appropriate module
Currently we fail if someone requests a valid io scheduler, but it's
modular and not currently loaded. That can happen from a driver init
asking for a different scheduler, or online switching through sysfs
as requested by a user.
This patch makes elevator_get() request_module() to attempt to load
the appropriate module, instead of requiring that done manually.

cfq-iosched: add hlist for browsing parallel to the radix tree
It's cumbersome to browse a radix tree from start to finish, especially
since we modify keys when a process exits. So add a hlist for the single
purpose of browsing over all known cfq_io_contexts, used for exit,
io prio change, etc.
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9948
[PATCH] revert blockdev direct io back to 2.6.19 version
Andrew Vasquez is reporting as-iosched oopses and a 65% throughput
slowdown due to the recent special-casing of direct-io against
blockdevs. We don't know why either of these things are occurring.
The patch minimally reverts us back to the 2.6.19 code for a 2.6.20
release.
<-- snip -->
It has since been dead code, and unless someone wants to revive it now
it's time to remove it.
This patch also makes bio_release_pages() static again and removes the
ki_bio_count member from struct kiocb, reverting changes that had been
done for this dead code.

Clearly this was supposed to be an == not an = in the if statement.
This patch also causes us to stop processing execve args once we have

ide-cd: fix missing residual count setting in DMA mode
This patch fixes the missing residual count setting in DMA mode,
which was introduced during the conversion to blk-end-request.
The residual count could be used by the request submitter.
So if it isn't set correctly, some upper layers does not work.
(e.g. wodim for CD burning.)
The bug is in only DMA mode.
In PIO mode, we are setting the residual count correctly,
so no need to fix.
Prefetch needs to be set for some ide devices to work when connected to
a ht6560b interface. This was not always done properly, causing a system
with a HD and CD on the primary interface to not work properly. Or, in
effect, hang hard.
This patch forces prefetch on devices before checking whether it
is necessary to change the settings in the interface
This patch should also be applied to 2.4. I don't currently have a
2.4 tree around.

[SPARC]: Kill 'prom_palette'.
The idea of this thing is we could save/restore the firmware's
palette when breaking in and out of the firmware prompt.
Only one driver implemented this (atyfb) and it's value is
questionable. If you're just debugging you don't really
care that the characters end up being purple or whatever.
And we can provide better debugging and firmware command
facilities with minimal in-kernel console I/O drivers.
