      [PATCH] fix __writeback_single_inode WARN_ON · 659603ef
      Andrea Arcangeli authored 
      When the inode count is zero in inode writeback, the

	WARN_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE));

is broken, and needs to test for either I_WILL_FREE|I_FREEING.

When the inode is in I_FREEING state, it's already out of the visibility
of the vm so it can't be freed so it doesn't require the __iget and the
generic_delete_inode path can call the sync internally to the lowlevel
fs callback during the last iput. So the inode being in I_FREEING is
also a valid condition for calling the sync with i_count == 0.

The specific stack trace is this:

      [PATCH] revert ide-scsi highmem cleanup · a717f773
      Andrew Morton authored 
      Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com> points out that this was wrong: we need to
disable local interrupts while holding KM_IRQ0 due to IRQ sharing.

And holding interrupts off during a big PIO opration is expensive, so we only
want to do that if we know the page was highmem.

So revert commit 17fd47abSigned-off-by: default avatarAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

      [PATCH] i386: CONFIG_PC removal · f2c84c0e
      Arthur Othieno authored 
      CONFIG_PC is left-over cruft after the introduction of CONFIG_X86_PC with
the subarch split.  Remove it, and fixup the remaining users to depend on
CONFIG_X86_PC instead.

      [PATCH] noop-iosched: avoid corrupted request merging · 581c1b14
      Jens Axboe authored 
      Tejun Heo notes:

   "I'm currently debugging this.  The problem is that we are using the
    generic dispatch queue directly in the noop sched and merging is NOT
    allowed on dispatch queues but generic handling of last_merge tries
    to merge requests.  I'm still trying to verify this, so I'll be back
    with results soon."

In the meantime, disable merging for noop by setting REQ_NOMERGE in
elevator_noop_add_request().

Eventually, we should add a noop_list and do the dispatching like in the
other io schedulers.  Merging is still beneficial for noop (and it has
always done it).

      Jens Axboe authored 
      Don't clear ->elevator_data on exit, if we are switching queues we are
overwriting the data of the new io scheduler.
