Change SysRq showBlockedTasks from sysrq-X to sysrq-W and show that in the
Help message.It was previously done via X, but X is already used for Xmon on ppc & powerpc
platforms and this collision needs to be avoided.All callers of register_sysrq_key() are now marked in the sysrq op/key table.
I didn't mark 'h' as Help because Help is just printed for any unknown key,
such as '?'.Added some omitted sysrq key entries in the sysrq.txt file.

Rewrite Documentation/pci.txt:
o restructure document to match how API is used when writing init code.
o update to reflect changes in struct pci_driver function pointers.
o removed language on "new style vs old style" device discovery.
"Old style" is now deprecated. Don't use it. Left description in
to document existing driver behaviors.
o add section "Legacy I/O Port free driver" by Kenji Kaneshige
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/22/25
(renamed to "pci_enable_device_bars() and Legacy I/O Port space")
o add "MMIO space and write posting" section to help avoid common pitfall
when converting drivers from IO Port space to MMIO space.
Orignally posted http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/27/24

NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()
invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page
owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked.
Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page
can no longer be dirtied.
In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries
to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the
call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page
reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference
to the inode or dentry.Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will
attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust
Also, the bare SetPageDirty() can skew all sort of accounting leading to
other nasties.[akpm@osdl.org: cleanup]

This reverts commit b026872601976f666bae77b609dc490d1834bf77, which has
been linked to several problem reports with IO-APIC and the timer.
Machines either don't boot because the timer doesn't happen, or we get
double timer interrupts because we end up double-routing the timer irq
through multiple interfaces.See for example
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/16/101
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/3/9
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7789about some of the discussion.
Patches to fix this cleanup exist (and have been confirmed to work fine
at least for some of the affected cases) and we'll revisit it for
2.6.21, but this late in the -rc series we're better off just reverting
the incomplete commit that caused the problems.Suggested-by: Adrian Bunk

Since get_user_pages() may be used with processes other than the
current process and calls flush_anon_page(), flush_anon_page() has to
cope in some way with non-current processes.It may not be appropriate, or even desirable to flush a region of
virtual memory cache in the current process when that is different to
the process that we want the flush to occur for.Therefore, pass the vma into flush_anon_page() so that the architecture
can work out whether the 'vmaddr' is for the current process or not.Signed-off-by: Russell King

Flag i2c_adapter.dev for removal after userspace tools get upgraded, and
include a near-term code migration aid to facilitate this:- The class device gets the name attribute it should have had. This
was previously (wrongly) associated with the i2c_adapter.dev node.
Sysfs based tools and libraries can start converting right away.- Issue a warning for legacy adapter drivers that don't provide any
physical device node; so systems with those drivers will know to
fix this problem earlier.This is one of a series of patches to help the I2C stack become a better
citizen of the Linux Driver Model world.Signed-off-by: David Brownell
