In linux-next there is a commit ("x86: Add performance variants of cpumask

for dealing with cpu masks. Add trivial versions of these now so that

olpc: sdhci: add quirk for the Marvell CaFe's interrupt timeout
The CaFe chip has a hardware bug that ends up with us getting a timeout
value that's too small, causing the following sorts of problems:
[ 60.525138] mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data
[ 60.531477] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1484353
[ 60.533371] Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0p2, logical block 181632
[ 60.533371] lost page write due to I/O error on mmcblk0p2
Presumably this is an off-by-one error in the hardware. Incrementing
the timeout count value that we stuff into the TIMEOUT_CONTROL register
gets us a value that works. This bug was originally discovered by
Pierre Ossman, I believe.

cciss: read config to obtain max outstanding commands per controller
This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding
commands for each controller.
Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable
exceptions are the E200 and E200i.
The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of
operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR). In this mode they only support
64 outstanding commands. In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support
1024.
We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value
for each controller. We needed a better way to set the queue depth to
avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages. So we made the driver a
little smarter. We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the
returned value. The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are
not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.
Please consider this for inclusion.

Alpha Linux kernel fails with inconsistent kallsyms data
The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data. As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems. But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.
The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext". Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext. The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.
On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

spidev_sync_write() do not return zero on success anymore but the number
of bytes that has been transfered over the bus. This patch changes the
logic and copy_to_user() gets called again.
The write path returns the number of bytes which are written to the
underlying device what may be less than the requested size. This patch
makes the same change to the read path or else we request a read of 20
bytes, get 10, don't call copy to user and report to the user that we read

rtc-x1205: Fix alarm set
I have discovered that the current version of rtc-x1205.c does not work
correctly when asked to set the alarm time by the RTC_WKALM_SET ioctl()
call. This happens because the alarm registers do not behave like the
current-time registers. They are non-volatile. Two things go wrong:
- the X1205 requires a 10 msec delay after any attempt to write to the
non-volatile registers. The x1205_set_datetime() routine does the write
as 8 single-byte writes without any delay. Only the first write
succeeds. The second is NAKed because the chip is busy.
- the X1205 resets the RWEL bit after any write to the non-volatile
registers. This would lock out any further writes after the first even
with a 10msec delay.
I fix this by doing a single 8-byte write and then waiting 10msec for the
chip to be ready. A side effect of this change is that it will speed up
x1205_rtc_set_time() which uses the same code.
I have also implemented the 'enable' bit in the rtc_wkalm structure, which
the existing driver does not attempt to do. I have modified both
x1205_rtc_set_alarm() to set the AL0E bit, and x1205_rtc_read_alarm() to
return it.
I have tested this patch on a LinkSys NSLU2 under OpenWRT, but on no other
hardware. On the NSLU2 the X1205 correctly asserts its IRQ pin when the
alarm time matches the current time.

mm: dirty page accounting vs VM_MIXEDMAP
Dirty page accounting accurately measures the amound of dirty pages in
writable shared mappings by mapping the pages RO (as indicated by
vma_wants_writenotify). We then trap on first write and call
set_page_dirty() on the page, after which we map the page RW and
continue execution.
When we launder dirty pages, we call clear_page_dirty_for_io() which
clears both the dirty flag, and maps the page RO again before we start
writeout so that the story can repeat itself.
vma_wants_writenotify() excludes VM_PFNMAP on the basis that we cannot
do the regular dirty page stuff on raw PFNs and the memory isn't going
anywhere anyway.
The recently introduced VM_MIXEDMAP mixes both !pfn_valid() and
pfn_valid() pages in a single mapping.
We can't do dirty page accounting on !pfn_valid() pages as stated
above, and mapping them RO causes them to be COW'ed on write, which
breaks VM_SHARED semantics.
Excluding VM_MIXEDMAP in vma_wants_writenotify() would mean we don't do
the regular dirty page accounting for the pfn_valid() pages, which
would bring back all the head-aches from inaccurate dirty page
accounting.
So instead, we let the !pfn_valid() pages get mapped RO, but fix them
up unconditionally in the fault path.

might be in sata_mv at the same time and manage to decrement
the static limit_warnings variable below zero.
Fix the comparison to deal with it.

ahci: always clear all bits in irq_stat
Some AHCI controllers (ICH7 was reported) set pending bit in
HOST_IRQ_STAT for non-existent ports and when it's not cleared falls
into IRQ storm. Always clear full irq_stat instead of only the bits
that are handled. As nothing changes for recognized ports, the risk
of breaking things is pretty low.
Reported and verified by Philipp Thomas in the following suse
bugzilla.
The branch optimization fixes in 2.6.21 introduced a bug in
atomic_sub_if_positive that causes it to return even when the sc
instruction fails. The result is that e.g. down_trylock becomes unreliable
as the semaphore counter is not always decremented.

USB: fix interrupt disabling for HCDs with shared interrupt handlers
USB: fix interrupt disabling for HCDs with shared interrupt handlers
As has been discussed several times on LKML, IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_DISABLED
doesn't work reliably, i.e. a shared interrupt handler CAN'T be certain to
be called with interrupts disabled. Most USB HCD handlers use IRQF_DISABLED
and therefore havoc can break out if they share their interrupt with a
handler that doesn't use it.
On my test machine the yenta_socket interrupt handler (no IRQF_DISABLED)
was registered before ehci_hcd and one uhci_hcd instance. Therefore all
usb_hcd_irq() invocations for ehci_hcd and for one uhci_hcd instance
happened with interrupts enabled. That led to random lockups as USB core
HCD functions that acquire the same spinlock could be called twice
from interrupt handlers.
This patch updates usb_hcd_irq() to always disable/restore interrupts.
usb_add_hcd() will silently remove any IRQF_DISABLED requested from HCD code.

USB: ohci - record data toggle after unlink
This patch fixes a problem with OHCI where canceling bulk or
interrupt URBs may lose track of the right data toggle. This
seems to be a longstanding bug, possibly dating back to the
Linux 2.4 kernel, which stayed hidden because
(a) about half the time the data toggle bit was correct;
(b) canceling such URBs is unusual; and
(c) the few drivers which cancel these URBs either
[1] do it only as part of shutting down, or
[2] have fault recovery logic, which recovers.
For those transfer types, the toggle is normally written back
into the ED when each TD is retired. But canceling bypasses
the mechanism used to retire TDs ... so on average, half the
time the toggle bit will be invalid after cancelation.
The fix is simple: the toggle state of any canceled TDs are
propagated back to the ED in the finish_unlinks function.

This patch fixes a regression in the EHCI driver's TIMER_IO_WATCHDOG
behavior. The patch "USB: EHCI: add separate IAA watchdog timer" changed
how that timer is handled, so that short timeouts on the remaining
timer (unfortunately, overloaded) would never be used.
This takes a more direct approach, reorganizing the code slightly to
be explicit about only the I/O watchdog role now being overridable.
It also replaces a now-obsolete comment describing older timer behavior.

Do not overwrite nr_zones on !NUMA when initialising zlcache_ptr
The non-NUMA case of build_zonelist_cache() would initialize the
zlcache_ptr for both node_zonelists[] to NULL.
Which is problematic, since non-NUMA only has a single node_zonelists[]
entry, and trying to zero the non-existent second one just overwrote the
nr_zones field instead.
As kswapd uses this value to determine what reclaim work is necessary,
the result is that kswapd never reclaims. This causes processes to
stall frequently in low-memory situations as they always direct reclaim.
This patch initialises zlcache_ptr correctly.

PCI: acpiphp: cleanup notify handler on all root bridges
During the development of the physical PCI slot patch series, Gary Hade
kept on reporting strange oopses due to interactions between pci_slot
and acpiphp.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/28/319
find_root_bridges() unconditionally installs
handle_hotplug_event_bridge() as an ACPI_SYSTEM_NOTIFY handler for all
root bridges.
However, during module cleanup, remove_bridge() will only remove the
notify handler iff the root bridge had a hot-pluggable slot directly
underneath. That is:
root bridge -> hotplug slot
But, if the topology looks like either of the following:
Then we currently do not remove the notify handler from that root
bridge.
This can cause a kernel oops if we modprobe acpiphp later and it gets
loaded somewhere else in memory. If the root bridge then receives a
hotplug event, it will then attempt to call a stale, non-existent notify
handler and we blow up.
Much thanks goes to Gary Hade for his persistent debugging efforts.
