This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of
requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which
performs forced dispatching. elv_drain_elevator checks whether
iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error
message if it doesn't. As buggy forced dispatching can result in
wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cfq forced dispatching might not return all requests on the queue.
This bug can hang elevator switchinig and corrupt request ordering
during flush sequence.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

elevator_dispatch needs to run queue after forced dispatching;
otherwise, the queue might stall.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

In addition to the first patch, which is probably goodness, I found the
cause of my panic - applying this patch fixes it and now I am booting.
If the chosen_elevator[] is not found, fall back to noop.Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

I got a panic in the elevator code, backtrace :
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000060
..
EIP is at elevator_put+0x0/0x30 (null elevator_type passed)
..
elevator_init+0x38
blk_init_queu_node+0xc9
floppy_init+0xdb
do_initcalls+0x23
init+0x10a
init+0x0Clearly if the kmalloc here fails, e->elevator_type is not yet set; this
appears to be the correct fix, but I think I probably hit the second case
due to a race condition. Someone more familiar with the elevator code
should look at this more closely until I can determine if I can reproduce.Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden

As per the new release rules: two weeks of merging, and then an -rc1 and
calming down for the next release. -
Also introduces a sysctl option to configure the receive buffer
accounting policy to be either at socket or association level.
Default is all the associations on the same socket share the
receive buffer.Signed-off-by: Neil Horman

On ia64, it is possible to get NaT Consumption Fault and a kernel panic
when initializing sctp sideeffect commands arguments. The union
sctp_arg_t contains different sized elements and when loading a smaller
sized element (32 or 16 bits), it is possible for a speculative load to
fail and result in a NaT bit set which causes a kernel crash. The easy
way to get around it is to load the largerst member of the union.Signed-off-by: Vladislav Yasevich

The socket level timeout values are maintained in sctp_sock and
association level timeouts are in sctp_association. So there is
no need for ep->timeouts.Signed-off-by: Vladislav Yasevich

It is possible to get to sctp_v4_get_saddr() without a valid
association. This happens when processing OOTB packets and
the cached route entry is no longer valid.
However, when responding to OOTB packets we already properly
set the source address based on the information in the OOTB
packet. So, if we we get to sctp_v4_get_saddr() without an
association we can simply return.Signed-off-by: Vladislav Yasevich

Based mostly upon a patch from Olaf Kirch
When initialization fails in inet6_init(), we should
unregister the PF_INET6 socket ops.Also, check sock_register()'s return value for errors.

scsi_wait_req does not exist any more in the SCSI layer. This patch

After the last merge of the new unified 'powerpc' architecture, ppc64 no
longer compiles cleanly as a standalone architecture. Some bits and
pieces still exist as files under the old ppc64 hierarchy, but the old
"ARCH=ppc64" is dead.So if "uname" says ppc64, that now implies that the default architecture
should be "powerpc".Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
For assembly labels to actually be local they must start with ".L" and
not only "." otherwise they still remain visible in the final link and
clutter kallsyms needlessly, and possibly make for unclear symbolic
backtrace. This patch simply inserts a"L" where appropriate. The code
itself is unchanged.Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre

Noticed by Tom 'spot' Callaway.
Even on uniprocessor we always reported the number of physical
cpus in the system via /proc/cpuinfo. But when this got changed
to use num_possible_cpus() it always reads as "1" on uniprocessor.
This change was unintentional.So scan the firmware device tree and count the number of cpu
nodes, and report that, as we always did.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Currently recvmsg generates SIGPIPE whereas sendmsg does not; for the
other stacks it seems to be the other way round!It also fixes the bug where reading from a socket whose peer has shutdown
returned -EINVAL rather than 0.Signed-off-by: Patrick Caulfield

Fix default VGA console on SN platforms. Since SN firmware does not pass
enough ACPI information to identify VGA cards and the associated legacy IO/MEM
addresses, we rely on the EFI PCDP table. Since the linux pcdp driver is
optional (and overridden if console= directives are used) SN duplicates a
portion of the pcdp scan code to identify if there is a usable console VGA
adapter. Additionally, dup necessary pcdp related structs to avoid dragging
drivers/pcdp.h into a more public location.Signed-off-by: Mark Maule

This patch introduces 4-level page tables to ia64. I have run
some benchmarks and found nothing interesting. Performance has
consistently fallen within the noise range.It also introduces a config option (setting the default to 3
levels). The config option prevents having 4 level page
tables with 64k base page size.Signed-off-by: Robin Holt

o Try to work around some of the undocumented "features" of the SAA9730
o Use netdev_priv() instead of the previous broken mechanism to allocate
the private data structure.
o Try to make sure we don't leak resources on exit.
o No more need to call SET_MODULE_OWNER in 2.6.
o Use pci_free_consistent instead of homegrown architecture-specific
allocation.Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle
