The SGI IOC4 IDE device always shares an interrupt with other devices which
are part of IOC4. As such, IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ should always be enabled when
BLK_DEV_SGIIOC4 is enabled.Signed-off-by: Brent Casavant

kernel/workqueue.c was omitted from generating kernel documentation. This
adds a new section "Workqueues and Kevents" and adds documentation for some
of the functions.Some functions in this file already had DocBook-style comments, now they

In cond_resched_lock() it calls __resched_legal() before dropping the spin
lock. __resched_legal() will always finds the preempt_count non-zero and
will prevent the call to __cond_resched().The attached patch adds a parameter to __resched_legal() with the expected
preempt_count value.Cc: Ingo Molnar

We have
#define INDEX(N) (base->timer_jiffies >> (TVR_BITS + N * TVN_BITS)) & TVN_MASK
and it's used via
list = varray[i + 1]->vec + (INDEX(i + 1));
So, due to underparenthesisation, this INDEX(i+1) is now a ... (TVR_BITS + i
+ 1 * TVN_BITS)) ...So this bugfix changes behaviour. It worked before by sheer luck:
"If i was anything but 0, it was broken. But this was only used by
s390 and arm. Since it was for the next interrupt, could that next
interrupt be a problem (going into the second cascade)? But it was
probably seldom wrong. That is, this would fail if the next
interrupt was in the second cascade, and was wrapped. Which may
never of happened. Also if it did happen, it would have just missed
the interrupt.If an interrupt was missed, and no one was there to miss it, was it
really missed :-)"Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Few of the callback functions and notifier blocks that are associated with cpu
notifications incorrectly have __devinit and __devinitdata. They should be
__cpuinit and __cpuinitdata instead.It makes no functional difference but wastes text area when CONFIG_HOTPLUG is
enabled and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not.This patch fixes all those instances.

This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across
all architectures that implement it.It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in
interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a
panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at
all.This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message
accordinly. I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is
too long, feedback welcome.For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour.
Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is
already not present.Signed-off-by: Horms

When reading from nbd device, we need to receive all the data after
receiving reply packet from the server - otherwise such request will never
be ended.If socket is closed right after accepting reply control packet and in the
middle of waiting for read data, nbd_read_stat() returns NULL and
nbd_end_request() is not called.This patch fixes it.

The kprobe-booster's safety check against preemption does not work well
now, because the preemption count has been modified by read_rcu_lock() in
atomic_notifier_call_chain() before we check it. So, I'd like to prevent
boosting kprobe temporarily if the kernel is preemptable.Now we are searching for the good solution.

A recent commit (7fc90ec93a5eb71f4b08403baf5ba7176b3ec6b1) moved the
call to nfsd_setuser out of the 'find a dentry for a filehandle' branch
of fh_verify so that it would always be called.This had the unfortunately side-effect of moving *after* the call to
decode_fh, so the prober fsuid was not set when nfsd_acceptable was called,
the 'permission' check did the wrong thing.This patch moves the nfsd_setuser call back where it was, and add as call
in the other branch of the if.Cc: "J. Bruce Fields"

The recent zlib update (commit 4f3865fb57a04db7cca068fed1c15badc064a302)

pointer.This little patch fixes it.

Enable delay accounting by default so that feature gets coverage testing
without requiring special measures.Earlier, it was off by default and had to be enabled via a boot time param.
This patch reverses the default behaviour to improve coverage testing. It
can be removed late in the kernel development cycle if its believed users
shouldn't have to incur any cost if they don't want delay accounting. Or
it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common
enough to warrant keeping the feature on.Signed-off-by: Shailabh Nagar

off rather than treat it as an error.Signed-off-by: Shailabh Nagar

IRQs need refcounting and a state flag to track whether the the IRQ should
be enabled or disabled as a "normal IRQ" source after a series of calls to
{en,dis}able_irq(). For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled so long as at
least one driver needs it active.Likewise, IRQs need the same support to track whether the IRQ should be
enabled or disabled as a "wakeup event" source after a series of calls to
{en,dis}able_irq_wake(). For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled as a
wakeup source during sleep so long as at least one driver needs it. But
right now they _don't have_ that refcounting ... which means sharing a
wakeup-capable IRQ can't work correctly in some configurations.This patch adds the refcount and flag mechanisms to set_irq_wake() -- which
is what {en,dis}able_irq_wake() call -- and minimal documentation of what
the irq wake mechanism does.Drivers relying on the older (broken) "toggle" semantics will trigger a
warning; that'll be a handful of drivers on ARM systems.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

Events sent by Process Events Connector from a 64-bit kernel are not binary
compatible with a 32-bit userspace program because the "timestamp" field
(struct timespec) is not arch independent. This affects the fields that
follow "timestamp" as they will be be off by 8 bytes.This is a problem for 32-bit userspace programs running with 64-bit kernels
on ppc64, s390, x86-64.. any "biarch" system.Matt had submitted a different solution to lkml as an RFC earlier. We have
since switched to a solution recommended by Evgeniy Polyakov.This patch fixes the problem by changing the timestamp to be a __u64, which
stores the number of nanoseconds.Tested on a x86_64 system with both 32 bit application and 64 bit
application and on a i386 system.Signed-off-by: Chandra Seetharaman

The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to
ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking. If ext3_get_inode_block()
allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant
effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a
panic if `errors=panic' was used.So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in
ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.[akpm@osdl.org: fix off-by-one error]
