A Promise SATA controller will signal hotplug events when a hard
reset (COMRESET) is done on a port. These events aren't masked by
the driver, and the unexpected interrupts will cause a sequence
of failed reset attempts util libata's EH finally gives up.
This has not been a common problem so far, but the pending libata
hardreset-by-default changes makes it a critical issue.
The solution is to disable hotplug events before a reset, and to
reenable them afterwards. (Promise's driver does this too.)
This patch adds SATA-specific versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw()
that also disable and enable hotplug events. PATA ports continue
to use the old versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw().
Accesses to the hotplug register must be serialised via host->lock.
We rely on ap->lock == &ap->host->lock and that libata takes this
lock before ->freeze() and ->thaw(). Document this requirement.
The interrupt handler is adjusted so its hotplug register accesses
are inside the region protected by host->lock.
Tested on various chips (SATA300TX4, SATA300TX2plus, SATAII150TX4,
FastTrack TX4000) with various combinations of SATA and PATA disks,
with and without the pending hardreset-by-default changes.

This is minor, but dereferencing even current real_parent is not safe on debug
kernels, since the memory, this points to, can be unmapped - RCU protection is
required.
Besides, the tgid field is deprecated and is to be replaced with task_tgid_xxx
call (the 2nd patch), so RCU will be required anyway.

kswapd should only wait on IO if there is IO
The current kswapd (and try_to_free_pages) code has an oddity where the
code will wait on IO, even if there is no IO in flight. This problem is
notable especially when the system scans through many unfreeable pages,
causing unnecessary stalls in the VM.
Additionally, tasks without __GFP_FS or __GFP_IO in the direct reclaim path
will sleep if a significant number of pages are encountered that should be
written out. This gives kswapd a chance to write out those pages, while
the direct reclaim task sleeps.

Update documentation for the hw_random support to be current:
- Documentation/hw_random.txt has been updated to reflect the
current code: it's a framework now, a "core" with a small
sysfs interface, that hardware-specific drivers plug in to.
Text specific to Intel hardware is now at the end.
- Kconfig now references the Documentation/hw_random.txt file
and better explains what this really does.
Both chunks of documentation now higlight the fact that the kernel entropy
pool is maintained by "rngd", and this driver has nothing directly to do with
that important task.

Older smackfs was parsing MAC rules by characters, thus a need of locking
write sessions on open() was needed. This lock is no longer useful now since
each rule is handled by a single write() call.
This is also a bugfix since seq_open() was not called if an open() O_RDWR flag
was given, leading to a seq_read() without an initialized seq_file, thus an
Oops.

With numa enabled, some callers could have a range of memory on one node
but try to free that on other node. This can cause some pages to be
freed wrongly.
For example: when we try to allocate 128g boot ram early for
gart/swiotlb, and free that range later so gart/swiotlb can get some
range afterwards.
With this patch, we don't need to care which node holds the range, just
loop to call free_bootmem_node for all online nodes.
This patch makes free_bootmem_core() more robust by trimming the sidx
and eidx according the ram range that the node has.
And make the free_bootmem_core handle this out of range case. We could
use bdata_list to make sure the range can be freed for sure. So next
time, we don't need to loop online nodes and could use free_bootmem
directly.

This is to fix bugzilla #10254. QSI cdrom attached to pata_sis as
secondary master appears as phantom device for the slave.
Interestingly, instead of not setting DRQ after IDENTIFY which
triggers NODEV_HINT, it aborts both IDENTIFY and IDENTIFY PACKET which
makes EH retry.
Modify EH such that it assumes no device is attached if both flavors
of IDENTIFY are aborted by the device. There really isn't much point
in retrying when the device actively aborts the commands.
While at it, convert NODEV detection message to ata_dev_printk() to
help debugging obscure detection problems.

The iwlxxxx_pci_remove functions are not needed when drivers are not
compiled as modules - they can thus be discarded at kernel link time.
This is already captured by having them as __devexit_p in the pci_driver

This is now fixed.

Proxy neighbors do not have any reference counting, so any caller
of pneigh_lookup (unless it's a netlink triggered add/del routine)
should _not_ perform any actions on the found proxy entry.
There's one exception from this rule - the ipv6's ndisc_recv_ns()
uses found entry to check the flags for NTF_ROUTER.
This creates a race between the ndisc and pneigh_delete - after
the pneigh is returned to the caller, the nd_tbl.lock is dropped
and the deleting procedure may proceed.
One of the fixes would be to add a reference counting, but this
problem exists for ndisc only. Besides such a patch would be too
big for -rc4.
So I propose to introduce a __pneigh_lookup() which is supposed
to be called with the lock held and use it in ndisc code to check
the flags on alive pneigh entry.
Changes from v2:
As David noticed, Exported the __pneigh_lookup() to ipv6 module.
The checkpatch generates a warning on it, since the EXPORT_SYMBOL
does not follow the symbol itself, but in this file all the
exports come at the end, so I decided no to break this harmony.
Changes from v1:
Fixed comments from YOSHIFUJI - indentation of prototype in header
and the pndisc_check_router() name - and a compilation fix, pointed
by Daniel - the is_routed was (falsely) considered as uninitialized
by gcc.

The iWARP protocol limits RDMA read requests to a single scatter
entry. NFS/RDMA has code in rdma_read_max_sge() that is supposed to
limit the sge_count for RDMA read requests to 1, but the code to do
that is inside an #ifdef RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP block. In the mainline
kernel at least, RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP is an enum and not a
preprocessor #define, so the #ifdef'ed code is never compiled.
In my test of a kernel build with -j8 on an NFS/RDMA mount, this
problem eventually leads to trouble starting with:
svcrdma: Error posting send = -22
svcrdma : RDMA_READ error = -22
and things go downhill from there.
The trivial fix is to delete the #ifdef guard. The check seems to be
a remnant of when the NFS/RDMA code was not merged and needed to
compile against multiple kernel versions, although I don't think it
ever worked as intended. In any case now that the code is upstream
there's no need to test whether the RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP constant is
defined or not.
Without this patch, my kernel build on an NFS/RDMA mount using NetEffect
adapters quickly and 100% reproducibly failed with an error like:
ld: final link failed: Software caused connection abort
With the patch applied I was able to complete a kernel build on the
same setup.

It appears that 64-bit PCI resources cannot possibly ever have worked on
x86-32 even when the RESOURCES_64BIT config option was set, because any
driver that tried to [pci_]ioremap() the resource would have been unable
to do so because the high 32 bits would have been silently dropped on
the floor by the ioremap() routines that only used "unsigned long".
Change them to use "resource_size_t" instead, which properly encodes the

The "bestcomm-core" driver defines its of_match table as follows
static struct of_device_id mpc52xx_bcom_of_match[] = {
{ .type = "dma-controller", .compatible = "fsl,mpc5200-bestcomm", },
{ .type = "dma-controller", .compatible = "mpc5200-bestcomm", },
{},
};
so while registering the driver, the driver's probe function won't be
called, because the device tree node doesn't have a device_type
property. Thus the driver's bcom_engine structure won't be allocated.
Referencing this structure later causes observed Oops.
Checking bcom_eng pointer for NULL before referencing data pointed
by it prevents oopsing, but fec driver still doesn't work (because
of the lost bestcomm match and resulted task allocation failure).
Actually the compatible property exists and should match and so
the fec driver should work.
This removes .type = "dma-controller" from the bestcomm driver's
mpc52xx_bcom_of_match table to solve the problem.
