      [PATCH] cfq-iosched: slice expiry fixups · 7b14e3b5
      Jens Axboe authored
      During testing of SLES10, we encountered a hang in the CFQ io scheduler.
      Turns out the deferred slice expiry logic is buggy, so remove that for
      now.  We could be left with an idle queue that would never wake up.  So
      kill that logic, always expire immediately.  Also fix a potential timer
      race condition.
      
      Patch looks bigger than it is, because it moves a function.

      [PATCH] powerpc/iseries: Fix double phys_to_abs bug in htab_bolt_mapping · 56ec6462
      Michael Ellerman authored
      Before the merge I updated create_pte_mapping() to work for iSeries, by
      calling iSeries_hpte_bolt_or_insert. (4c55130b)
      
      Later we changed iSeries_hpte_insert to cope with the bolting case, and called
      that instead from create_pte_mapping() (which was renamed to htab_bolt_mapping)
      (3c726f8d).
      
      Unfortunately that change introduced a subtle bug, where we pass an absolute
      address to iSeries_hpte_insert() where it expects a physical address. This
      leads to us calling phys_to_abs() twice on the physical address, which is
      seriously bogus.
      
      This only causes a problem if the absolute address from the first translation
      can be looked up again in the chunk_map, which depends on the size and layout
      of memory. I've seen it fail on one box, but not others.
      
      The minimal fix is to pass the physical address to iSeries_hpte_insert(). For
      2.6.17 we should make phys_to_abs() BUG if we try to double-translate an
      address.

      [PATCH] powerpc: vdso 64bits gettimeofday bug · 634473db
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      A bug in the assembly code of the vdso can cause gettimeofday() to hang
      or to return incorrect results. The wrong register was used to test for
      pending updates of the calibration variables and to create a dependency
      for subsequent loads. This fixes it.

      [PATCH] powerpc: fix dynamic PCI probe regression · 827c1a6c
      John Rose authored
      Some hotplug driver functions were migrated to the kernel for use by EEH
      in commit 2bf6a8fa.
      
      Previously, the PCI Hotplug module had been changed to use the new
      OFDT-based PCI probe when appropriate:
      5fa80fcd
      
      When rpaphp_pci_config_slot() was moved from the rpaphp driver to the
      new kernel function pcibios_add_pci_devices(), the OFDT-based probe
      stuff was dropped.  This patch restores it.

        "After some consideration and feedback from various people it turns
         out this wasn't that good an idea.  It has some problems and needs
