On PXA255 there is no way to disable the watchdog. Turning off OIER[E3]
as suggested in the existing comment does not work.
I posted a note to the ARM mailing list a little while ago asking for
opinions from people using SA1100. There was one reponse from Nico who
believes that the SA1100 is the same as the PXA255 in this respect.
You also asked me to involve the watchdog maintainer which I tried to
do but didn't hear anything back. There are only a couple of other
drivers which can't stop the watchdog and there seems to be no
consistancy regarding printing an error etc. I decided to print
something since that matches the case for all the other drivers when
NOWAYOUT is turned on.
Also, I changed the device .name to "watchdog" like most of the other
watchdogs. udev uses it as the device name (by default) and spaces etc.

There's no real guarantee that handle_mm_fault() will always be able to
break a COW situation - if an update from another thread ends up
modifying the page table some way, handle_mm_fault() may end up
requiring us to re-try the operation.
That's normally fine, but get_user_pages() ended up re-trying it as a
read, and thus a write access could in theory end up losing the dirty
bit or be done on a page that had not been properly COW'ed.
This makes get_user_pages() always retry write accesses as write
accesses by making "follow_page()" require that a writable follow has
the dirty bit set. That simplifies the code and solves the race: if the
COW break fails for some reason, we'll just loop around and try again.

[PATCH] remove sys_set_zone_reclaim()
This removes sys_set_zone_reclaim() for now. While i'm sure Martin is
trying to solve a real problem, we must not hard-code an incomplete and
insufficient approach into a syscall, because syscalls are pretty much
for eternity. I am quite strongly convinced that this syscall must not
hit v2.6.13 in its current form.
Firstly, the syscall lacks basic syscall design: e.g. it allows the
global setting of VM policy for unprivileged users. (!) [ Imagine an
Oracle installation and a SAP installation on the same NUMA box fighting
over the 'optimal' setting for this flag. What will they do? Will they
try to set the flag to their own preferred value every second or so? ]
Secondly, it was added based on a single datapoint from Martin:
where Martin characterizes the numbers the following way:
' Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't
terribly useful except to see that with reclaim the benchmark still
finishes in a reasonable amount of time. '
in other words: the fundamental problem has likely not been solved, only
a tendential move into the right direction has been observed, and a
handful of numbers were picked out of a set of hugely variable results,
without showing the variability data. How much variance is there
run-to-run?
I'd really suggest to first walk the walk and see what's needed to get
stable & predictable kernel compilation numbers on that NUMA box, before
adding random syscalls to tune a particular aspect of the VM ... which
approach might not even matter once the whole picture has been analyzed
and understood!
The third, most important point is that the syscall exposes VM tuning
internals in a completely unstructured way. What sense does it make to
have a _GLOBAL_ per-node setting for 'should we go to another node for
reclaim'? If then it might make sense to do this per-app, via numalib or
so.
The change is minimalistic in that it doesnt remove the syscall and the
underlying infrastructure changes, only the user-visible changes. We
could perhaps add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only sysctl for this hack, a'ka
/proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but even that looks quite counterproductive
when the generic approach is that we are trying to reduce the number of
external factors in the VM balance picture.

Contains general updates (additional configuration info, hopefully
better examples, updated some out of date info, and a bonus pass
through ispell to banish the "paramters.") and info specific to
gratuitous ARP and xmit policy functionality already in 2.6.13-rc2.

[PATCH] SCSI_SATA has to be a tristate
SCSI=m must disallow static drivers.
The problem is that all the SATA drivers depend on SCSI_SATA.
With SCSI=m and SCSI_SATA=y this allows the static enabling of the SATA
drivers with unwanted effects, e.g.:
- SCSI=m, SCSI_SATA=y, SCSI_ATA_ADMA=y
-> SCSI_ATA_ADMA is built statically but scsi/built-in.o is not linked
into the kernel
- SCSI=m, SCSI_SATA=y, SCSI_ATA_ADMA=y, SCSI_SATA_AHCI=m
-> SCSI_ATA_ADMA and libata are built statically but
scsi/built-in.o is not linked into the kernel,
SCSI_SATA_AHCI is built modular (unresolved symbols due to missing
libata)

[NET] Fix too aggressive backoff in dst garbage collection
The bug is evident when it is seen once. dst gc timer was backed off,
when gc queue is not empty. But this means that timer quickly backs off,
if at least one destination remains in use. Normally, the bug is invisible,
because adding new dst entry to queue cancels the backoff. But it shots
deadly with destination cache overflow when new destinations are not released
for long time f.e. after an interface goes down.
The fix is to cancel backoff when something was released.

Tunnel modules used to obtain module refcount each time when
some tunnel was created, which meaned that tunnel could be unloaded
only after all the tunnels are deleted.
Since killing old MOD_*_USE_COUNT macros this protection has gone.
It is possible to return it back as module_get/put, but it looks
more natural and practically useful to force destruction of all
the child tunnels on module unload.

[NETFILTER] Inherit masq_index to slave connections
masq_index is used for cleanup in case the interface address changes
(such as a dialup ppp link with dynamic addreses). Without this patch,
slave connections are not evicted in such a case, since they don't inherit
masq_index.

ACPI is wrong. Devices should not release their IRQ's on suspend and
re-aquire them on resume. ACPI should just re-init the IRQ controller
instead of breaking most drivers very subtly.

The patch adds boundary check for the MAX_GSI_NUM. Same as the update for
i386, the patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI IRQ. The patch corrects
the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is avoided. The
VIA chipset uses 4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and
therefore cannot handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch
corrects this problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.

[PATCH] ppc32: fix 44x early serial debug for configurations with more than 512M of RAM
Fix 44x early serial debugging for big RAM configurations (more than 512M).
We cannot use default OpenBIOS virtual mapping, because it interferes with
pinned TLB entry.
While we are at it, move early UART mapping to TLB slot 0, so it can
survive longer during boot process (slot 1 is used by the first ioremap
call, effectively killing UART mapping if it occupies this slot). Also,
change UART TLB entry size to 4K (256M is too much for a bunch of registers
:). Squash some warnings on the way.
Tested on Ebony and Ocotea with 1G of RAM.
Thanks to Scott Coulter <scott.coulter@cyclone.com> for diagnosing this
problem.

[PATCH] Fix NUMA node sizing in nr_free_zone_pages
We are iterating over all nodes in nr_free_zone_pages(). Because the
fallback zonelists contain all nodes in the system, and we walk all the
zonelists, we're counting memory multiple times (once for each node). This
caused us to make a size estimate of 32GB for an 8GB AMD64 box, which makes
all the dirty ratio calculations, etc incorrect.
There's still a further bug to fix from e820 holes causing overestimation
as well, but this fix is separate, and good as is, and fixes one class of
problems. Problem found by Badari, and tested by Ram Pai - thanks!
