If ordered tag isn't supported, request ordering for barrier
sequencing is performed by queue draining, which basically hangs the
request queue until elv_completed_request() reports completion of all
previous fs requests.The condition check in elv_completed_request() was only performed for
fs requests. If a special request is queued between the last
to-be-drained request and the barrier sequence, draining is never
completed and the queue is stalled forever.This patch moves the end-of-draining condition check such that it's
performed for all requests.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

o This fix was posted for i386 long back. Posting it for x86_64.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110380103229830&w=2
o This patch fixes the problem of secondary cpus boot up. This situation
is faced when kernel is built for default locations like 16MB and
onwards. In this configuration, only primary cpu (BP) comes and
secondary cpus don't boot.o Problem occurs because in trampoline code, lgdt is not able to load the
GDT as it happens to be situated beyond 16MB. This is due to the fact
that cpu is still in real mode and default operand size is 16bit.o This patch uses lgdtl instead of lgdt to force operand size to 32
instead of 16.Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal

Previously they would be only allocated before the kernel text at
1MB. This limited the maximum supported memory to 128GB.
Now allow the e820 allocator to put them everywhere. Try
to put them beyond any DMA zones to avoid filling them up.
This should free some GFP_DMA memory compared to earlier kernels.Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

Due to a broken condition, the body of the loop that is intended to wait for
the Update-In-Progress bit to get set and then cleared again was never
entered; in fact, the entire loop was optimized out by the compiler. Here is

out of the spin lock protected region).Signed-Off-By: Jan Beulich

o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual
wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting
timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode.o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts
to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash
on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts.o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer
interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero).
This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a
non-boot cpu.Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal

Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only
works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected. This is very
useful when we are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar
BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup.Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is
connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out.Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be
affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be
able to use kexec now.In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic
that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0.
There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true.And From: Vivek Goyal
A minor fix to the patch which remembers the location of where i8259 is
connected. Now counter i has been replaced by apic. counter i is having
some junk value which was leading to non-detection of i8259 connected to
IOAPIC.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

Patch enables early intialization of cpu_to_node.
apicid_to_node is built by reading the SRAT table, from acpi_numa_init with
ACPI_NUMA and k8_scan_nodes with K8_NUMA.
x86_cpu_to_apicid is built by parsing the ACPI MADT table, from acpi_boot_init.
We combine these two tables and setup cpu_to_node.Early intialization helps the static per_cpu_areas in getting pages from
correct node.Change since last release:
Do not initialize early init_cpu_to_node for faking node cases.Patch tested on TYAN dual core 4P board with K8 only, ACPI_NUMA.
