RDMA/cma: Queue IB CM MRAs to avoid unnecessary remote retries
Automatically queue MRA message to decrease the number of retries sent

IB/cm: Modify interface to send MRAs in response to duplicate messages
The IB CM provides a message received acknowledged (MRA) message that
can be sent to indicate that a REQ or REP message has been received, but
will require more time to process than the timeout specified by those
messages. In many cases, the application may not know how long it will
take to respond to a CM message, but the majority of the time, it will
usually respond before a retry has been sent. Rather than sending an
MRA in response to all messages just to handle the case where a longer
timeout is needed, it is more efficient to queue the MRA for sending in
case a duplicate message is received.
This avoids sending an MRA when it is not needed, but limits the number
of times that a REQ or REP will be resent. It also provides for a
simpler implementation than generating the MRA based on a timer event.
(That is, trying to send the MRA after receiving the first REQ or REP if
a response has not been generated, so that it is received at the remote
side before a duplicate REQ or REP has been received)

IB/umad: Fix bit ordering and 32-on-64 problems on big endian systems
The declaration of struct ib_user_mad_reg_req.method_mask[] exported
to userspace was an array of __u32, but the kernel internally treated
it as a bitmap made up of longs. This makes a difference for 64-bit
big-endian kernels, where numbering the bits in an array of__u32 gives:
|31.....0|63....31|95....64|127...96|
while numbering the bits in an array of longs gives:
|63..............0|127............64|
64-bit userspace can handle this by just treating method_mask[] as an
array of longs, but 32-bit userspace is really stuck: the meaning of
the bits in method_mask[] depends on whether the kernel is 32-bit or
64-bit, and there's no sane way for userspace to know that.
Fix this by updating <rdma/ib_user_mad.h> to make it clear that
method_mask[] is an array of longs, and using a compat_ioctl method to
convert to an array of 64-bit longs to handle the 32-on-64 problem.
This fixes the interface description to match existing behavior (so
working binaries continue to work) in almost all situations, and gives
consistent semantics in the case of 32-bit userspace that can run on
either a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel, so that the same binary can work for
both 32-on-32 and 32-on-64 systems.

IB/core: Fix handling of multicast response failures
I was looking at the code for multicast.c and noticed that
ib_sa_join_multicast() calls queue_join() which puts the
request at the front of the group->pending_list. If this
is a second request, it seems like it would interfere with
process_join_error() since group->last_join won't point
to the member at the head of the pending_list. The sequence
would thus be:
1. ib_sa_join_multicast()
puts member1 on head of pending_list and starts work thread
2. mcast_work_handler()
calls send_join() which sets group->last_join to member1
3. ib_sa_join_multicast()
puts member2 on head of pending_list
4. join operation for member1 receives failures response from SA.
5. join_handler() is called with error status
6. process_join_error() fails to process member1 since
it doesn't match the first entry in the group->pending_list.
The impact is that the failed join request is tossed. The second
request is processed, and after it completes, the original request ends
up being retried.
This change also results in join requests being processed in FIFO
order.

This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example,
FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section
8.1:
- The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).
I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's
implied.
This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test
suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the
multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so
we were passing the test. This won't be the case anymore.
The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect()

fix bogus reporting of signals by audit
Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log. As
it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission().
Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know
if it should apply current-based permission checks. So the solution is to
move the call of audit_signal_info() between those.
Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g.
kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not
short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry
in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by
load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

Longhaul: add auto enabled "revid_errata" option
VIA C3 Ezra-T has RevisionID equal to 1, but it needs RevisionKey to be 0
or CPU will ignore new frequency and will continue to work at old
frequency. New "revid_errata" option will force RevisionKey to be set to
0, whatever RevisionID is.
Additionaly "Longhaul" will not silently ignore unsuccessful transition.
It will try to check if "revid_errata" or "disable_acpi_c3" options need to
be enabled for this processor/system.

When using /proc/timer_stats on ppc64 I noticed the events/sec field wasnt

The fraction part is also wrong, we need to pad the printf statement and

Don't do load-average calculations at even 5-second intervals
It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the
kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get
artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide.
So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick.
Noticed by Anders Boström, for whom the coincidence started triggering
on one of his machines with the JBD jiffies rounding code (JBD is one of
the subsystems that also end up using a 5-second timer by default).

VT_WAITACTIVE: Avoid returning EINTR when not necessary
We should generally prefer to return ERESTARTNOHAND rather than EINTR,
so that processes with unhandled signals that get ignored don't return
EINTR.
This can help with X startup issues:
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call
although the real fix is having the X server always retry EINTR
regardless (since EINTR does happen for signals that have handlers
installed). Keithp has a patch for that.
Regardless, ERESTARTNOHAND is the correct thing to use.
Fix non-terminated PCI match table in PowerMac IDE
The PCI device table in the powermac IDE driver isn't properly
terminated. Depending on how your kernel is linked and other random
factors, you can end up with this driver matched against any other PCI
device in your system, possibly crashing at boot.
Thanks to Heikki for tracking this down with me, the bug have been there
for some time, though it rarely hurts due to luck. In this case, the
switch from .22 to .23-rc9 is causing it to show up due to differences
in the resulting layout of .data I suppose.

When pinning and unpinning pagetables, we must protect them against
being used by other CPUs, lest they see the pagetable in an
intermediate read-only-but-not-pinned state.
When using split pte locks, doing this properly would require taking
all the pte locks for the pagetable while pinning, but this may overflow
the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped
more than about 512M of memory.
However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when
the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part
of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork.
This is a short-term fix until the problem is solved properly.

Remove unnecessary cast in prefetch()
It is ok to call prefetch() function with NULL argument, as specifically
commented in include/linux/prefetch.h. But in standard C, it is invalid
to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and
note #84).
prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument.
Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x"
argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was
inlined.
Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint.
[ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no
cases known. In 2.6.24 we should probably switch to
__builtin_prefetch() instead, but this is a simpler fix for now.
