caused cross-architecture build problems for all the wrong reasons.
IA64 already added its own version of __node_random(), but the fact is,
there is nothing architectural about the function, and the original

(ACPI: Be in TS_POLLING state during mwait based C-state entry)
fixed an important power & performance issue where ACPI c2 and c3 C-states
were clearing TS_POLLING even when using MWAIT (ACPI_STATE_FFH).
That bug had been causing us to receive redundant scheduling interrups
when we had already been woken up by MONITOR/MWAIT.
Following up on that...
In the MWAIT case, we don't have to subsequently
check need_resched(), as that c heck was there
for the TS_POLLING-clearing case.
Note that not only does the cpuidle calling function
already check need_resched() before calling us, the
low-level entry into monitor/mwait calls it twice --
guaranteeing that a write to the trigger address
can not go un-noticed.
Also, in this case, we don't have to set TS_POLLING

previously should be used.
simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement
the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted
to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go
away.
simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion
of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache).
To implement the new truncate sequence:
- filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in
the setattr method rather than ->truncate.
- vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in
the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed
in the fs code.
- convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin,
cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed
variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous).
- inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function
to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode.
- make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence.
Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called
until i_size has already changed. This means it is not allowed to fail the
call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic
code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had
no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle
block deallocation).

fs/minix: bugfix, number of indirect block ptrs per block depends on block size
The MINIX filesystem driver used a constant number of indirect block
pointers in an indirect block. This worked only for filesystems with 1kb
block, while the MINIX default block size is now 4kb. As a consequence,
large files were read incorrectly on such filesystems and writing a
large file would cause the filesystem to become corrupted. This patch
computes the number of indirect block pointers based on the block size,
making the driver work for each block size.
I would like to thank Feiran Zheng ('Fam') for pointing out the cause
of the corruption.

We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.
This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods.

Fix racy use of anon_inode_getfd() in perf_event.c
once anon_inode_getfd() is called, you can't expect *anything* about
struct file that descriptor points to - another thread might be doing
whatever it likes with descriptor table at that point.

get rid of the magic around f_count in aio
__aio_put_req() plays sick games with file refcount. What
it wants is fput() from atomic context; it's almost always
done with f_count > 1, so they only have to deal with delayed
work in rare cases when their reference happens to be the
last one. Current code decrements f_count and if it hasn't
hit 0, everything is fine. Otherwise it keeps a pointer
to struct file (with zero f_count!) around and has delayed
work do __fput() on it.
Better way to do it: use atomic_long_add_unless( , -1, 1)
instead of !atomic_long_dec_and_test(). IOW, decrement it
only if it's not the last reference, leave refcount alone
if it was. And use normal fput() in delayed work.
I've made that atomic_long_add_unless call a new helper -
fput_atomic(). Drops a reference to file if it's safe to
do in atomic (i.e. if that's not the last one), tells if
it had been able to do that. aio.c converted to it, __fput()
use is gone. req->ki_file *always* contributes to refcount
now. And __fput() became static.
