This patch sets the max_cache_size value required to tune up scheduler in SMP systems. Otherwise, the calculated migration_cost is too high and task scheduling may lock up. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

From: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> The add_preferred_console call in rtas_console.c was not causing the console to be selected. It turns out that the add_preferred_console was being called after the hvc_console driver was registered. It only works when it is called before the console driver is registered. Reorder hvc_console.o after the hvc_console drivers to allow the selection during console_initcall processing.

David Howells authored
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Apply some alterations to the memory barrier document that I worked out with Paul McKenney of IBM, plus some of the alterations suggested by Alan Stern. The following changes were made: (*) One of the examples given for what can happen with overlapping memory barriers was wrong. (*) The description of general memory barriers said that a general barrier is a combination of a read barrier and a write barrier. This isn't entirely true: it implies both, but is more than a combination of both. (*) The first example in the "SMP Barrier Pairing" section was wrong: the loads around the read barrier need to touch the memory locations in the opposite order to the stores around the write barrier. (*) Added a note to make explicit that the loads should be in reverse order to the stores. (*) Adjusted the diagrams in the "Examples Of Memory Barrier Sequences" section to make them clearer. Added a couple of diagrams to make it more clear as to how it could go wrong without the barrier. (*) Added a section on memory speculation. (*) Dropped any references to memory allocation routines doing memory barriers. They may do sometimes, but it can't be relied on. This may be worthy of further documentation later. (*) Made the fact that a LOCK followed by an UNLOCK should not be considered a full memory barrier more explicit and gave an example.

Doing PCI config space accesses to non-present PCI slots can result in fatal JBUS errors if the PCI config access hypervisor call is performed on cpus other than the boot cpu. PCI config space accesses to present PCI slots works just fine. Recursively traverse the OBP device tree under the PCI controller node and record all present device IDs into a small hash table. Avoid the hypervisor call for any PCI config space access attempt for a device not recorded in the hash table. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Get rid of all the SUN_570X logic and instead: 1) Make sure MEMARB_ENABLE is set when we probe the SRAM for config information. If that is off we will get timeouts. 2) Always try to sync with the firmware, if there is no firmware running do not treat it as an error and instead just report it the first time we notice this condition. 3) If there is no valid SRAM signature, assume the device is onboard by setting TG3_FLAG_EEPROM_WRITE_PROT. Update driver version and release date. With help from Michael Chan and Fabio Massimo Di Nitto. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The code in prom_init.c calling the firmware ibm,client-architecture-support method on pSeries has a bug where it fails to properly pass the instance handle of the firmware object when trying to call a method.

Looking at the reiser4 crash, I found a leak in debugfs. In debugfs_mknod(), we create the inode before checking if the dentry already has one attached. We don't free it if that is the case. These bugs happen quite often, I'm starting to think we should disallow such coding in CodingStyle. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be invoked with bad or NULL data. To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer. Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts, and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach inside the lock after we detach the old one. This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching with a very busy io load. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

From: "Andy Currid" <ACurrid@nvidia.com> This patch fixes a kernel panic during boot that occurs on NVIDIA platforms that have HPET enabled. When HPET is enabled, the standard timer IRQ is routed to IOAPIC pin 2 and is advertised as such in the ACPI APIC table - but an earlier workaround in the kernel was ignoring this override. The fix is to honor timer IRQ overrides from ACPI when HPET is detected on an NVIDIA platform.

Move memory_present() in arch/mips/kernel/setup.c. When using sparsemem extreme, this function does an allocate for bootmem. This would always fail since init_bootmem hasn't been called yet.
