fix niced_granularity(). This resulted in under-scheduling for
CPU-bound negative nice level tasks (and this in turn caused
higher than necessary latencies in nice-0 tasks).
sched: fix MC/HT scheduler optimization, without breaking the FUZZ logic.
First fix the check
if (*imbalance + SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ < busiest_load_per_task)
with this
if (*imbalance < busiest_load_per_task)
As the current check is always false for nice 0 tasks (as
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ is same as busiest_load_per_task for nice 0
tasks).
With the above change, imbalance was getting reset to 0 in the corner
case condition, making the FUZZ logic fail. Fix it by not corrupting the
imbalance and change the imbalance, only when it finds that the HT/MC
optimization is needed.
Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.
I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.
It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a
read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page
without any callers.
Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old
behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the
use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction
well enough to say.

NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()
Ryusuke Konishi says:
The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page
before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(),
^^^^^^
static void
truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page)
{
...
cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); <--- Inserted here at
kernel 2.6.20
if (PagePrivate(page))
do_invalidatepage(page, 0); ---> will call
a_ops->invalidatepage()
...
}
and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling
nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending
request (=nfs_page) associated with the page.
int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how)
{
...
if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) {
ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc);
if (ret < 0)
goto out;
}
...
}
Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after
a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated
with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree.
------------------------
Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may
also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated
with them.

hugepage: fix broken check for offset alignment in hugepage mappings
For hugepage mappings, the file offset, like the address and size, needs to
be aligned to the size of a hugepage.
In commit 68589bc353037f233fe510ad9ff432338c95db66, the check for this was
moved into prepare_hugepage_range() along with the address and size checks.
But since BenH's rework of the get_unmapped_area() paths leading up to
commit 4b1d89290b62bb2db476c94c82cf7442aab440c8, prepare_hugepage_range()

we're no longer ever checking for an aligned offset - I've confirmed that
mmap() will (apparently) succeed with a misaligned offset on both powerpc
and i386 at least.
This patch restores the check, removing it from prepare_hugepage_range()
and putting it back into hugetlbfs_file_mmap(). I'm putting it there,
rather than in the get_unmapped_area() path so it only needs to go in one
place, than separately in the half-dozen or so arch-specific

SPI driver hotplug/coldplug fixes
Update various SPI drivers so they properly support
- coldplug through "modprobe $(cat /sys/devices/.../modalias)"
- hotplug through "modprobe $(MODALIAS)"
The basic rule for platform, SPI, and (new style) I2C drivers is just
to make sure that modprobing the driver name works. In this case, all
the relevant drivers are platform drivers, and this patch either
(a) Changes the driver name, if no in-tree code would break;
this is simpler and thus preferable in the long term.
(b) Adds MODULE_ALIAS directives, when in-tree platforms declare
devices using the current driver name; less desirable.
Most systems will link SPI controller drivers statically, but
there's no point in being needlessly broken.

uml: fix x86_64 core dump crash
Stop UML crashing when trying to dump a process core on x86_64. This is the
minimal fix to stop the crash - more things are broken here, and patches are
forthcoming.
The immediate thing to do is define ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and
ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS. Defining ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS allows dump_fpu to go
away. It is defined in terms of save_fp_registers, so that needs to be added.

sata_promise: FastTrack TX4200 is a second-generation chip
This patch corrects sata_promise to classify FastTrack TX4200
(DID 3515/3519) as a second-generation chip. Promise's partial-
source FT TX4200 driver confirms this classification.
Treating it as a first-generation chip causes several problems:
1. Detection failures. This is a recent regression triggered by
the hotplug-enabling changes in 2.6.23-rc1.
2. Various "failed to resume link for reset" warnings.

2) sun4{u,v}_build_msi() should return -ENOMEM instead of

3) We 'remembered' the MSI number using a singleton in the

[NET_SCHED] sch_prio.c: remove duplicate call of tc_classify()
When CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT is enabled, tc_classify() is called twice in
prio_classify(). This causes "interesting" behaviour: with the setup
below, packets are duplicated, sent twice to ifb0, and then loop in and
out of ifb0.
The patch uses the previously calculated return value in the switch,
which is probably what Patrick had in mind in commit bdba91ec70fb5ccbdeb1c7068319adc6ea9e1a7d -- maybe Patrick can
double-check this?

This is a new regression in 2.6.23.
Rearranged the switch to a logical order, and use gcc initializer.
Ps: speed should have been part of the network device structure from
the start rather than burying it in ethtool.
