This adds a function "gfs2_is_writeback()" along the lines of the

The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks
used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked
up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places
where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been
the cause of many bugs.
In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the
disk blocks in question were cached anyway. So this patch removes
it in order to simplify the code to prepare for other changes which
would otherwise have had to add further support for this feature.

This cleans up the mmap() code path for GFS2 by implementing the
page_mkwrite function for GFS2. We are thus able to use the
generic filemap_fault function for our ->fault() implementation.
This now means that shared writable mappings will be much more
efficiently shared across the cluster if there is a reasonable
proportion of read activity (the greater proportion, the better).
As a side effect, it also reduces the size of the code, removes
special cases from readpage and readpages, and makes the code
path easier to follow.

As requested by Christoph, this patch cleans up GFS2's internal
read function so that it no longer uses the do_generic_mapping_read
function. This function is obsolete and GFS2 is the last user of it.
As a side effect the internal read code gets smaller and easier
to read and gfs2_readpage is split into two. One function has the locking
and the other function has the rest of the logic.

fix hugepages leak due to pagetable page sharing
The shared page table code for hugetlb memory on x86 and x86_64
is causing a leak. When a user of hugepages exits using this code
the system leaks some of the hugepages.
-------------------------------------------------------
Part of /proc/meminfo just before database startup:
HugePages_Total: 5500
HugePages_Free: 5500
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
Just before shutdown:
HugePages_Total: 5500
HugePages_Free: 4475
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range(). It
locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc(). Since huge_pte_alloc() calls
huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in
copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage. This is a
violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional
referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA
occurs. We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage
pagetables are shared. The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the
get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

[IrDA]: af_irda memory leak fixes
Here goes an IrDA patch against your latest net-2.6 tree.
This patch fixes some af_irda memory leaks. It also checks for
irias_new_obect() return value.

Commit 9cd40029423701c376391da59d2c6469672b4bed (Fix race between
neigh_parms_release and neightbl_fill_parms) introduced device
reference counting regressions for several people, see:

When packets are flood-forwarded to multiple output devices, the
bridge-netfilter code reuses skb->nf_bridge for each clone to store
the bridge port. When queueing packets using NFQUEUE netfilter takes
a reference to skb->nf_bridge->physoutdev, which is overwritten
when the packet is forwarded to the second port. This causes
refcount unterflows for the first device and refcount leaks for all
others. Additionally this provides incorrect data to the iptables
physdev match.
Unshare skb->nf_bridge by copying it if it is shared before assigning
the physoutdev device.
Reported, tested and based on initial patch by

[IPV6] ROUTE: Make sending algorithm more friendly with RFC 4861.
We omit (or delay) sending NSes for known-to-unreachable routers (in
NUD_FAILED state) according to RFC 4191 (Default Router Preferences
and More-Specific Routes). But this is not fully compatible with RFC
4861 (Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6), which does not remember
unreachability of neighbors.
So, let's avoid mixing sending algorithm of RFC 4191 and that of RFC
4861, and make the algorithm more friendly with RFC 4861 if RFC 4191
is disabled.
Issue was found by IPv6 Ready Logo Core Self_Test 1.5.0b2 (by TAHI
Project), and has been tracked down by Mitsuru Chinen
<mitch@linux.vnet.ibm.com>.

[NET]: Fix interrupt semaphore corruption in Intel drivers.
Several of the Intel ethernet drivers keep an atomic counter used to
manage when to actually hit the hardware with a disable or an enable.
The way the net_rx_work() breakout logic works during a pending
napi_disable() is that it simply unschedules the poll even if it
still has work.
This can potentially leave interrupts disabled, but that is OK
because all of the drivers are about to disable interrupts
anyways in all such code paths that do a napi_disable().
Unfortunately, this trips up the semaphore used here in the Intel
drivers. If you hit this case, when you try to bring the interface
back up it won't enable interrupts. A reload of the driver module
fixes it of course.
So what we do is make sure all the sequences now go:

r2 is not guaranteed to be preserved over a function call, so relying

unreliable. Store the link register on the stack instead.
