I run many ffsb test cases on JBODs (typically 13/12 disks).  Comparing
with kernel 2.6.30, 2.6.31-rc1 has about 16% regression with
ffsb_create_4k.  The sub test case creates files continuously for 10
minitues and every file is 1MB.

    vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4)

    It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync())
    doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to
    accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch
    __fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to
    properly send all data on a filesystem to disk.

As a matter of fact, ffsb calls sys_sync in the end to make sure all data
is flushed to disks and the flushing is counted into the result.  vmstat
shows ffsb is blocked when syncing for a long time.  With 2.6.30, ffsb is
blocked for a short time.

I checked the patch and did experiments to recover the original methods.
Eventually, the root cause is the patch deletes the calling to
wakeup_pdflush when syncing, so only ffsb is blocked on disk I/O.
wakeup_pdflush could ask pdflush to write back pages with ffsb at the
same time.

Commit 537a1bf0 (fbdev: add mutex for
fb_mmap locking) introduces a ->mm_lock mutex for protecting smem
assignments. Unfortunately in the case of sm501fb these happen quite
early in the initialization code, well before the mutex_init() that takes
place in register_framebuffer(), leading to:

   Badness at kernel/mutex.c:207

matroxfb appears to have the same issue and has solved it with an early

Block layer used to merge requests and bios with different failfast
settings.  This caused regular IOs to fail prematurely when they were
merged into failfast requests for readahead.

Niel Lambrechts could trigger the problem semi-reliably on ext4 when
resuming from STR.  ext4 uses readahead when reading inodes and
combined with the deterministic extra SATA PHY exception cycle during
resume on the specific configuration, non-readahead inode read would
fail causing ext4 errors.  Please read the following thread for
details.

  http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/23/21

This patch makes block layer reject merging if the failfast settings
don't match.  This is correct but likely to lower IO performance by
preventing regular IOs from mingling into surrounding readahead
requests.  Changes to allow such mixed merges and handle errors
correctly will be added later.

When doing an unexpected shutdown like kexec the cciss
firmware might still have some commands in flight, which
it is trying to complete.
The driver is doing it's best on resetting the HBA,
but sadly there's a firmware issue causing the firmware
_not_ to abort or drop old commands.
So the firmware will send us commands which we haven't
accounted for, causing the driver to panic.

With this patch we're just ignoring these commands as
there is nothing we could be doing with them anyway.

If an o32 process generates a core dump on a 64 bit kernel, the core file
will not be correctly recognized. This is because ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and
ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS are not correctly defined for o32 and will use
the default register set which would be CONFIG_64BIT in asm/elf.h.

So we'll switch to use the right register defines in this situation by
checking for WANT_COMPAT_REG_H and use the right defines of
ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS.

The current ssb irq setup in ssb_mipscore_init has the problem that it
configures some device on some irq without checking that the irq is not
taken by an other device.

For example in my case PCI host is on irq 0 and IPSEC on irq 3.
The current code:
  - store in dev->irq that IPSEC irq is 3 + 2
  - do a set_irq 0->3 on PCI host

But now IPSEC irq is not routed anymore to the mips code and dev->irq is
wrong.  This causes a problem described in [1].

This patch tries to solve the problem by making set_irq configure the
device we want to take the irq on the shared irq0. The previous example
becomes:
  - store in dev->irq that IPSEC irq is 3 + 2
  - do a set_irq 0->3 on PCI host:
  - irq 3 is already taken by IPSEC. do a set_irq 3->0 on IPSEC

I also added some code to print the irq configuration after irq setup to
allow easier debugging. And I add extra checking in ssb_mips_irq to report
device without irq or device with not routed irq.

Some CPUs implement mipsr2, but because they are a super-set of mips64r2 do
not define CONFIG_CPU_MIPS64_R2.  Cavium OCTEON falls into this category.
We would still like to use the optimized implementation, so since we have
already checked for CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR2, checking for CONFIG_64BIT instead of
CONFIG_CPU_MIPS64_R2 is sufficient.
