In situations where page table updates need only be made locally, and there is
no cross-processor A/D bit races involved, we need not use the heavyweight
xchg instruction to atomically fetch and clear page table entries. Instead,
we can just read and clear them directly.
This introduces a neat optimization for non-SMP kernels; drop the atomic xchg
operations from page table updates.
Thanks to Michel Lespinasse for noting this potential optimization.

When exiting from an address space, no special hypervisor notification of page
table updates needs to occur; direct page table hypervisors, such as Xen,
switch to another address space first (init_mm) and unprotects the page tables
to avoid the cost of trapping to the hypervisor for each pte_clear. Shadow
mode hypervisors, such as VMI and lhype don't need to do the extra work of
calling through paravirt-ops, and can just directly clear the page table
entries without notifiying the hypervisor, since all the page tables are about
to be freed.
So introduce native_pte_clear functions which bypass any paravirt-ops
notification. This results in a significant performance win for VMI and
removes some indirect calls from zap_pte_range.
Note the 3-level paging already had a native_pte_clear function, thus
demanding argument conformance and extra args for the 2-level definition.

The busy loop in this function would not be problematic if the

IPI will end up looping forever in the ICR check, effectively
hard-locking the whole system.
Quoting from Intel's "MultiProcessor Specification" (Version 1.4), B-3:
"A local APIC unit indicates successful dispatch of an IPI by
resetting the Delivery Status bit in the Interrupt Command
Register (ICR). The operating system polls the delivery status
bit after sending an INIT or STARTUP IPI until the command has
been dispatched.
A period of 20 microseconds should be sufficient for IPI dispatch
to complete under normal operating conditions. If the IPI is not
successfully dispatched, the operating system can abort the
command. Alternatively, the operating system can retry the IPI by
writing the lower 32-bit double word of the ICR. This “time-out”
mechanism can be implemented through an external interrupt, if
interrupts are enabled on the processor, or through execution of
an instruction or time-stamp counter spin loop."
Intel's documentation suggests the implementation of a time-out

If our copy of the MTRRs of the BSP has RdMem or WrMem set, and

Applied fix by Andew Morton:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/8/88 - Fix `make headers_check'.
AMD and Intel x86 CPU manuals state that it is the responsibility of
system software to initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across
all processors in Multi-Processing Environments.
Quote from page 188 of the AMD64 System Programming manual (Volume 2):
7.6.5 MTRRs in Multi-Processing Environments
"In multi-processing environments, the MTRRs located in all processors must
characterize memory in the same way. Generally, this means that identical
values are written to the MTRRs used by the processors." (short omission here)
"Failure to do so may result in coherency violations or loss of atomicity.
Processor implementations do not check the MTRR settings in other processors
to ensure consistency. It is the responsibility of system software to
initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across all processors."
Current Linux MTRR code already implements the above in the case that the
BIOS does not properly initialize MTRRs on the secondary processors,
but the case where the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor are changed
after Linux started to boot, before the initialsation of a secondary
processor, is not handled yet.
In this case, secondary processors are currently initialized by Linux
with MTRRs which the boot processor had very early, when mtrr_bp_init()
did run, but not with the MTRRs which the boot processor uses at the
time when that secondary processors is actually booted,
causing differing MTRR contents on the secondary processors.
Such situation happens on Acer Ferrari 1000 and 5000 notebooks where the
BIOS enables and sets AMD-specific IORR bits in the fixed-range MTRRs
of the boot processor when it transitions the system into ACPI mode.
The SMI handler of the BIOS does this in SMM, entered while Linux ACPI
code runs acpi_enable().
Other occasions where the SMI handler of the BIOS may change bits in
the MTRRs could occur as well. To initialize newly booted secodary
processors with the fixed-range MTRRs which the boot processor uses
at that time, this patch saves the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot
processor before new secondary processors are started. When the
secondary processors run their Linux initialisation code, their
fixed-range MTRRs will be updated with the saved fixed-range MTRRs.
If CONFIG_MTRR is not set, we define mtrr_save_state
as an empty statement because there is nothing to do.
Possible TODOs:
*) CPU-hotplugging outside of SMP suspend/resume is not yet tested
with this patch.
*) If, even in this case, an AP never runs i386/do_boot_cpu or x86_64/cpu_up,
then the calls to mtrr_save_state() could be replaced by calls to
mtrr_save_fixed_ranges(NULL) and mtrr_save_state() would not be
needed.
That would need either verification of the CPU-hotplug code or
at least a test on a >2 CPU machine.
*) The MTRRs of other running processors are not yet checked at this
time but it might be interesting to syncronize the MTTRs of all
processors before booting. That would be an incremental patch,
but of rather low priority since there is no machine known so
far which would require this.

Because mtrr_save_fixed_ranges calls get_fixed_ranges after

Currently x86 (similar to x84-64) has a special per-cpu structure
called "i386_pda" which can be easily and efficiently referenced via
the %fs register. An ELF section is more flexible than a structure,
allowing any piece of code to use this area. Indeed, such a section
already exists: the per-cpu area.
So this patch:
(1) Removes the PDA and uses per-cpu variables for each current member.
(2) Replaces the __KERNEL_PDA segment with __KERNEL_PERCPU.
(3) Creates a per-cpu mirror of __per_cpu_offset called this_cpu_off, which
can be used to calculate addresses for this CPU's variables.
(4) Simplifies startup, because %fs doesn't need to be loaded with a
special segment at early boot; it can be deferred until the first
percpu area is allocated (or never for UP).
The result is less code and one less x86-specific concept.

In shadow mode hypervisors, ptep_get_and_clear achieves the desired
purpose of keeping the shadows in sync by issuing a native_get_and_clear,
followed by a call to pte_update, which indicates the PTE has been
modified.
Direct mode hypervisors (Xen) have no need for this anyway, and will trap
the update using writable pagetables.
This means no hypervisor makes use of ptep_get_and_clear; there is no

Xen and VMI both have special requirements when mapping a highmem pte
page into the kernel address space. These can be dealt with by adding
a new kmap_atomic_pte() function for mapping highptes, and hooking it
into the paravirt_ops infrastructure.
Xen specifically wants to map the pte page RO, so this patch exposes a
helper function, kmap_atomic_prot, which maps the page with the
specified page protections.
This also adds a kmap_flush_unused() function to clear out the cached
kmap mappings. Xen needs this to clear out any potential stray RW
mappings of pages which will become part of a pagetable.

Implement the actual patching machinery. paravirt_patch_default()
contains the logic to automatically patch a callsite based on a few
simple rules:
- if the paravirt_op function is paravirt_nop, then patch nops
- if the paravirt_op function is a jmp target, then jmp to it
- if the paravirt_op function is callable and doesn't clobber too much
for the callsite, call it directly
paravirt_patch_default is suitable as a default implementation of
paravirt_ops.patch, will remove most of the expensive indirect calls
in favour of either a direct call or a pile of nops.
Backends may implement their own patcher, however. There are several
helper functions to help with this:
paravirt_patch_nop nop out a callsite
paravirt_patch_ignore leave the callsite as-is
paravirt_patch_call patch a call if the caller and callee
have compatible clobbers
paravirt_patch_jmp patch in a jmp
paravirt_patch_insns patch some literal instructions over
the callsite, if they fit
This patch also implements more direct patches for the native case, so
that when running on native hardware many common operations are
implemented inline.

arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an

Normally when running in PAE mode, the 4th PMD maps the kernel address space,
which can be shared among all processes (since they all need the same kernel
mappings).
Xen, however, does not allow guests to have the kernel pmd shared between page
tables, so parameterize pgtable.c to allow both modes of operation.
There are several side-effects of this. One is that vmalloc will update the
kernel address space mappings, and those updates need to be propagated into
all processes if the kernel mappings are not intrinsically shared. In the
non-PAE case, this is done by maintaining a pgd_list of all processes; this
list is used when all process pagetables must be updated. pgd_list is
threaded via otherwise unused entries in the page structure for the pgd, which
means that the pgd must be page-sized for this to work.
Normally the PAE pgd is only 4x64 byte entries large, but Xen requires the PAE
pgd to page aligned anyway, so this patch forces the pgd to be page
aligned+sized when the kernel pmd is unshared, to accomodate both these
requirements.
Also, since there may be several distinct kernel pmds (if the user/kernel
split is below 3G), there's no point in allocating them from a slab cache;
they're just allocated with get_free_page and initialized appropriately. (Of
course the could be cached if there is just a single kernel pmd - which is the
default with a 3G user/kernel split - but it doesn't seem worthwhile to add
yet another case into this code).

Allocate a fixmap slot for use by a paravirt_ops implementation. This
is intended for early-boot bootstrap mappings. Once the zones and
allocator have been set up, it would be better to use get_vm_area() to
allocate some virtual space.
Xen uses this to map the hypervisor's shared info page, which doesn't
have a pseudo-physical page number, and therefore can't be mapped
ordinarily. It is needed early because it contains the vcpu state,
including the interrupt mask.

This patch introduces paravirt_ops hooks to control how the kernel's
initial pagetable is set up.
In the case of a native boot, the very early bootstrap code creates a
simple non-PAE pagetable to map the kernel and physical memory. When
the VM subsystem is initialized, it creates a proper pagetable which
respects the PAE mode, large pages, etc.
When booting under a hypervisor, there are many possibilities for what
paging environment the hypervisor establishes for the guest kernel, so
the constructon of the kernel's pagetable depends on the hypervisor.
In the case of Xen, the hypervisor boots the kernel with a fully
constructed pagetable, which is already using PAE if necessary. Also,
Xen requires particular care when constructing pagetables to make sure
all pagetables are always mapped read-only.
In order to make this easier, kernel's initial pagetable construction
has been changed to only allocate and initialize a pagetable page if
there's no page already present in the pagetable. This allows the Xen
paravirt backend to make a copy of the hypervisor-provided pagetable,
allowing the kernel to establish any more mappings it needs while
keeping the existing ones.
A slightly subtle point which is worth highlighting here is that Xen
requires all kernel mappings to share the same pte_t pages between all
pagetables, so that updating a kernel page's mapping in one pagetable
is reflected in all other pagetables. This makes it possible to
allocate a page and attach it to a pagetable without having to
explicitly enumerate that page's mapping in all pagetables.
And:
+From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
If we don't set the leaf page table entries it is quite possible that
will inherit and incorrect page table entry from the initial boot
page table setup in head.S. So we need to redo the effort here,
so we pick up PSE, PGE and the like.
Hypervisors like Xen require that their page tables be read-only,
which is slightly incompatible with our low identity mappings, however
I discussed this with Jeremy he has modified the Xen early set_pte
function to avoid problems in this area.

Add a set of accessors to pack, unpack and modify page table entries
(at all levels). This allows a paravirt implementation to control the
contents of pgd/pmd/pte entries. For example, Xen uses this to
convert the (pseudo-)physical address into a machine address when
populating a pagetable entry, and converting back to pphys address
when an entry is read.

Now that relocation of the VDSO for COMPAT_VDSO users is done at
runtime rather than compile time, it is possible to enable/disable
compat mode at runtime.
This patch allows you to enable COMPAT_VDSO mode with "vdso=2" on the
kernel command line, or via sysctl. (Switching on a running system
shouldn't be done lightly; any process which was relying on the compat
VDSO will be upset if it goes away.)
The COMPAT_VDSO config option still exists, but if enabled it just
makes vdso_enabled default to VDSO_COMPAT.
+From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Fix oops from i386-make-compat_vdso-runtime-selectable.patch.
Even mingetty at system startup finds it easy to trigger an oops
while reading /proc/PID/maps: though it has a good hold on the mm
itself, that cannot stop exit_mm() from resetting tsk->mm to NULL.
(It is usually show_map()'s call to get_gate_vma() which oopses,
and I expect we could change that to check priv->tail_vma instead;
but no matter, even m_start()'s call just after get_task_mm() is racy.)

Some versions of libc can't deal with a VDSO which doesn't have its
ELF headers matching its mapped address. COMPAT_VDSO maps the VDSO at
a specific system-wide fixed address. Previously this was all done at
build time, on the grounds that the fixed VDSO address is always at
the top of the address space. However, a hypervisor may reserve some
of that address space, pushing the fixmap address down.
This patch does the adjustment dynamically at runtime, depending on
the runtime location of the VDSO fixmap.
[ Patch has been through several hands: Jan Beulich wrote the orignal
version; Zach reworked it, and Jeremy converted it to relocate phdrs
as well as sections. ]

identify_cpu() is used to identify both the boot CPU and secondary
CPUs, but it performs some actions which only apply to the boot CPU.
Those functions are therefore really __init functions, but because
they're called by identify_cpu(), they must be marked __cpuinit.
This patch splits identify_cpu() into identify_boot_cpu() and
identify_secondary_cpu(), and calls the appropriate init functions
from each. Also, identify_boot_cpu() and all the functions it
dominates are marked __init.

On x86-64, kernel memory freed after init can be entirely unmapped instead
of just getting 'poisoned' by overwriting with a debug pattern.
On i386 and x86-64 (under CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA), kernel text and bug table
can also be write-protected.
Compared to the first version, this one prevents re-creating deleted
mappings in the kernel image range on x86-64, if those got removed
previously. This, together with the original changes, prevents temporarily
having inconsistent mappings when cacheability attributes are being
changed on such pages (e.g. from AGP code). While on i386 such duplicate
mappings don't exist, the same change is done there, too, both for
consistency and because checking pte_present() before using various other
pte_XXX functions is a requirement anyway. At once, i386 code gets
adjusted to use pte_huge() instead of open coding this.

paravirt.c used to implement native versions of all low-level
functions. Far cleaner is to have the native versions exposed in the
headers and as inline native_XXX, and if !CONFIG_PARAVIRT, then simply
#define XXX native_XXX.
There are several nice side effects:
1) write_dt_entry() now takes the correct "struct Xgt_desc_struct *"
not "void *".
2) load_TLS is reintroduced to the for loop, not manually unrolled
with a #error in case the bounds ever change.
3) Macros become inlines, with type checking.
4) Access to the native versions is trivial for KVM, lguest, Xen and

Now we are no longer dynamically allocating the GDT, we don't need the
"cpu_gdt_table" at all: we can switch straight from "boot_gdt_table" to the

The boot CPU uses the per-cpu var directly, then in smp_prepare_cpus() it
switches to the per-cpu copy just allocated. For secondary CPUs, the
early_gdt_descr is set to point directly to their per-cpu copy.
For UP the code is very simple: it keeps using the "per-cpu" GDT as per SMP,

Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to allow for configurable
node sizes. These nodes can be used in conjunction with cpusets for coarse
memory resource management.
The old command-line option is still supported:
numa=fake=32 gives 32 fake NUMA nodes, ignoring the NUMA setup of the
actual machine.
But now you may configure your system for the node sizes of your choice:
numa=fake=2*512,1024,2*256
gives two 512M nodes, one 1024M node, two 256M nodes, and
the rest of system memory to a sixth node.
The existing hash function is maintained to support the various node sizes
that are possible with this implementation.
Each node of the same size receives roughly the same amount of available
pages, regardless of any reserved memory with its address range. The total
available pages on the system is calculated and divided by the number of equal
nodes to allocate. These nodes are then dynamically allocated and their
borders extended until such time as their number of available pages reaches
the required size.
Configurable node sizes are recommended when used in conjunction with cpusets
for memory control because it eliminates the overhead associated with scanning
the zonelists of many smaller full nodes on page_alloc().

I guess it is a good idea to keep HASHDIST_DEFAULT "on" for x86_64 NUMA
since x86_64 has no dearth of vmalloc space? Or maybe enable hash

o X86_64 kernel should run from 2MB aligned address for two reasons.
- Performance.
- For relocatable kernels, page tables are updated based on difference
between compile time address and load time physical address.
This difference should be multiple of 2MB as kernel text and data
is mapped using 2MB pages and PMD should be pointing to a 2MB
aligned address. Life is simpler if both compile time and load time
kernel addresses are 2MB aligned.
o Flag the error at compile time if one is trying to build a kernel which
does not meet alignment restrictions.

This patch modifies the x86_64 kernel so that it can be loaded and run
at any 2M aligned address, below 512G. The technique used is to
compile the decompressor with -fPIC and modify it so the decompressor
is fully relocatable. For the main kernel the page tables are
modified so the kernel remains at the same virtual address. In
addition a variable phys_base is kept that holds the physical address
the kernel is loaded at. __pa_symbol is modified to add that when
we take the address of a kernel symbol.
When loaded with a normal bootloader the decompressor will decompress
the kernel to 2M and it will run there. This both ensures the
relocation code is always working, and makes it easier to use 2M
pages for the kernel and the cpu.

Currently __pa_symbol is for use with symbols in the kernel address
map and __pa is for use with pointers into the physical memory map.
But the code is implemented so you can usually interchange the two.
__pa which is much more common can be implemented much more cheaply
if it is it doesn't have to worry about any other kernel address
spaces. This is especially true with a relocatable kernel as
__pa_symbol needs to peform an extra variable read to resolve
the address.
There is a third macro that is added for the vsyscall data
__pa_vsymbol for finding the physical addesses of vsyscall pages.
Most of this patch is simply sorting through the references to
__pa or __pa_symbol and using the proper one. A little of
it is continuing to use a physical address when we have it
instead of recalculating it several times.
swapper_pgd is now NULL. leave_mm now uses init_mm.pgd
and init_mm.pgd is initialized at boot (instead of compile time)
to the physmem virtual mapping of init_level4_pgd. The
physical address changed.
Except for the for EMPTY_ZERO page all of the remaining references
to __pa_symbol appear to be during kernel initialization. So this
should reduce the cost of __pa in the common case, even on a relocated
kernel.
As this is technically a semantic change we need to be on the lookout
for anything I missed. But it works for me (tm).

With the rewrite of the SMP trampoline and the early page

once we start executing C code.
So add zap_identity_mappings into head64.c and remove
zap_low_mappings() from much later in the code. The functions
are subtly different thus the name change.
This also kills boot_level4_pgt which was from an earlier

This is a very simple bitbanging I2C bus driver utilizing the new
arch-neutral GPIO API. Useful for chips that don't have a built-in
I2C controller, additional I2C busses, or testing purposes.
To use, include something similar to the following in the
board-specific setup code:
#include <linux/i2c-gpio.h>
static struct i2c_gpio_platform_data i2c_gpio_data = {
.sda_pin = GPIO_PIN_FOO,
.scl_pin = GPIO_PIN_BAR,
};
static struct platform_device i2c_gpio_device = {
.name = "i2c-gpio",
.id = 0,
.dev = {
.platform_data = &i2c_gpio_data,
},
};
Register this platform_device, set up the I2C pins as GPIO if
required and you're ready to go. This will use default values for
udelay and timeout, and will work with GPIO hardware that does not
support open drain mode, but allows sensing of the SDA and SCL lines
even when they are being driven.

The original i2c-algo-bit implementation uses a 33/66 SCL duty cycle
when bits are being written on the bus. While the I2C specification
doesn't forbid it, this prevents us from driving the I2C bus to its
max speed, limiting us to 66 kbps max on standard I2C busses.
Implementing a 50/50 duty cycle instead lets us max out the bandwidth
up to the theoretical max of 100 kbps on standard I2C busses. This is
particularly important when large amounts of data need to be transfered
over the bus, as is the case with some TV adapters when the firmware is
being uploaded.
In fact this change even allows, at least in theory, fast-mode I2C
support at 125, 166 and 250 kbps. There's no way to reach the
theoretical max of 400 kbps with this implementation. But I don't
think we want to put efforts in that direction anyway: software-driven
I2C is very CPU-intensive and bad for latency.
Other timing changes:
* Don't set SDA high explicitly on error, we're going to issue a stop
condition before we leave anyway.
* If an error occurs when sending the slave address, yield the CPU
before retrying, and remove the additional delay after the new start
condition.

Add a new helper function to instantiate an i2c device. It is meant as a
replacement for i2c_new_device() when you don't know for sure at which
address your I2C/SMBus device lives. This happens frequently on TV
adapters for example, you know there is a tuner chip on the bus, but
depending on the exact board model and revision, it can live at different
addresses. So, the new i2c_new_probed_device() function will probe the bus
according to a list of addresses, and as soon as one of these addresses
responds, it will call i2c_new_device() on that one address.
This function will make it possible to port the old i2c drivers to the
new model quickly.

This provides partial support for new-style I2C driver binding. It builds
on "struct i2c_board_info" declarations that identify I2C devices on a given
board. This is needed on systems with I2C devices that can't be fully probed
and/or autoconfigured, such as many embedded Linux configurations where the
way a given I2C device is wired may affect how it must be used.
There are two models for declaring such devices:
* LATE -- using a public function i2c_new_device(). This lets modules
declare I2C devices found *AFTER* a given I2C adapter becomes available.
For example, a PCI card could create adapters giving access to utility
chips on that card, and this would be used to associate those chips with
those adapters.
* EARLY -- from arch_initcall() level code, using a non-exported function
i2c_register_board_info(). This copies the declarations *BEFORE* such
an i2c_adapter becomes available, arranging that i2c_new_device() will
be called later when i2c-core registers the relevant i2c_adapter.
For example, arch/.../.../board-*.c files would declare the I2C devices
along with their platform data, and I2C devices would behave much like
PNPACPI devices. (That is, both enumerate from board-specific tables.)
To match the exported i2c_new_device(), the previously-private function
i2c_unregister_device() is now exported.
Pending later patches using these new APIs, this is effectively a NOP.

One of a series of I2C infrastructure updates to support enumeration using
the standard Linux driver model.
This patch updates probe() and associated hotplug/coldplug support, but
not remove(). Nothing yet _uses_ it to create I2C devices, so those
hotplug/coldplug mechanisms will be the only externally visible change.
This patch will be an overall NOP since the I2C stack doesn't yet create
clients/devices except as part of binding them to legacy drivers.
Some code is moved earlier in the source code, helping group more of the
per-device infrastructure in one place and simplifying handling per-device
attributes.
Terminology being adopted: "legacy drivers" create devices (i2c_client)
themselves, while "new style" ones follow the driver model (the i2c_client
is handed to the probe routine). It's an either/or thing; the two models
don't mix, and drivers that try mixing them won't even be registered.

This shrinks the size of "struct i2c_client" by 40 bytes:

- The "flags" don't need to be so big
- Removes some internal padding
It also adds kerneldoc for that struct, explaining how "name" is really a
chip type identifier; it's otherwise potentially confusing.
Because the I2C_NAME_SIZE symbol was abused for both i2c_client.name

Fix handling of low voltage MMC cards.
The latest MMC and SD specs both agree that support for
low-voltage operations is indicated by bit 7 in the OCR.
The MMC spec states that the low voltage range is
1.65-1.95V while the SD spec leaves the actual voltage
range undefined - meaning that there is still no such
thing as a low voltage SD card.
However, an old Sandisk spec implied that bits 7.0
represented voltages below 2.0V in 1V or 0.5V increments,
and the code was accordingly written with that expectation.
This confusion meant that host drivers attempting to support
the typical low voltage (1.8V) would set the wrong bits in
the host OCR mask (usually bits 5 and/or 6) resulting in the
the low voltage mode never being used.
This change corrects the low voltage range and adds sanity
checks on the reserved bits (0-6) and for SD cards that
claim to support low-voltage operations.

Move protocol operations and definitions into their own files
in an effort to separate protocol handling and bus
arbitration more clearly.
Signed-off-by: Pierre Ossman <drzeus@drzeus.cx>
The classic MMC bus was defined as multi card bus
system, which is reflected in the design in the MMC
layer.
When SD showed up, the bus topology was abandoned
and a star topology (one card per host) was mandated.
MMC version 4 has followed this, officially deprecating
the bus topology.
As we do not have any known users of the bus
topology we can remove support for it. This will
simplify the code and rectify some incorrect
assumptions in the newer additions.

Currently rpc_malloc sets req->rq_buffer internally. Make this a more
generic interface: return a pointer to the new buffer (or NULL) and
make the caller set req->rq_buffer and req->rq_bufsize. This looks much
more like kmalloc and eliminates the side effects.
To fix a potential deadlock, this patch also replaces GFP_NOFS with
GFP_NOWAIT in rpc_malloc. This prevents async RPCs from sleeping outside
the RPC's task scheduler while allocating their buffer.

The RPC buffer size estimation logic in net/sunrpc/clnt.c always
significantly overestimates the requirements for the buffer size.
A little instrumentation demonstrated that in fact rpc_malloc was never
allocating the buffer from the mempool, but almost always called kmalloc.
To compute the size of the RPC buffer more precisely, split p_bufsiz into
two fields; one for the argument size, and one for the result size.
Then, compute the sum of the exact call and reply header sizes, and split
the RPC buffer precisely between the two. That should keep almost all RPC
buffers within the 2KiB buffer mempool limit.
And, we can finally be rid of RPC_SLACK_SPACE!

Currently we do write coalescing in a very inefficient manner: one pass in
generic_writepages() in order to lock the pages for writing, then one pass
in nfs_flush_mapping() and/or nfs_sync_mapping_wait() in order to gather
the locked pages for coalescing into RPC requests of size "wsize".
In fact, it turns out there is actually a deadlock possible here since we
only start I/O on the second pass. If the user signals the process while
we're in nfs_sync_mapping_wait(), for instance, then we may exit before
starting I/O on all the requests that have been queued up.

This patch changes the docs and behaviour from "all states valid" to "no

need mem sleep can assign pm_valid_only_mem without any overhead, others

Now that all users of pm_ops have a .valid callback this is a safe thing to
do and prevents things from getting messy again as they were before.

This patch series cleans up some misconceptions about pm_ops. Some users of
the pm_ops structure attempt to use it to stop the user from entering suspend
to disk, this, however, is not possible since the user can always use
"shutdown" in /sys/power/disk and then the pm_ops are never invoked. Also,
platforms that don't support suspend to disk simply should not allow
configuring SOFTWARE_SUSPEND (read the help text on it, it only selects
suspend to disk and nothing else, all the other stuff depends on PM).
The pm_ops structure is actually intended to provide a way to enter
platform-defined sleep states (currently supported states are "standby" and
"mem" (suspend to ram)) and additionally (if SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is configured)
allows a platform to support a platform specific way to enter low-power mode
once everything has been saved to disk. This is currently only used by ACPI
(S4).
This patch:
The pm_ops.pm_disk_mode is used in totally bogus ways since nobody really
seems to understand what it actually does.
This patch clarifies the pm_disk_mode description.
It also removes all the arm and sh users that think they can veto suspend to
disk via pm_ops; not so since the user can always do echo shutdown >
/sys/power/disk, they need to find a better way involving Kconfig or such.
ACPI is the only user left with a non-zero pm_disk_mode.
The patch also sets the default mode to shutdown again, but when a new pm_ops
is registered its pm_disk_mode is selected as default, that way the default
stays for ACPI where it is apparently required.

On MIPv6 usage, XFRM sub policy is enabled.
When main (IPsec) and sub (MIPv6) policy selectors have the same
address set but different upper layer information (i.e. protocol
number and its ports or type/code), multiple bundle should be created.
However, currently we have issue to use the same bundle created for
the first time with all flows covered by the case.
It is useful for the bundle to have the upper layer information
to be restructured correctly if it does not match with the flow.
1. Bundle was created by two policies
Selector from another policy is added to xfrm_dst.
If the flow does not match the selector, it goes to slow path to
restructure new bundle by single policy.
2. Bundle was created by one policy
Flow cache is added to xfrm_dst as originated one. If the flow does
not match the cache, it goes to slow path to try searching another
policy.

SACKED_ACKED and LOST are mutually exclusive with SACK, thus
having their sum larger than packets_out is bug with SACK.
Eventually these bugs trigger traps in the tcp_clean_rtx_queue
with SACK but it's much more informative to do this here.
Non-SACK TCP, however, could get more than packets_out duplicate
ACKs which each increment sacked_out, so it makes sense to do
this kind of limitting for non-SACK TCP but not for SACK enabled
one. Perhaps the author had the opposite in mind but did the
logic accidently wrong way around? Anyway, the sacked_out
incrementer code for non-SACK already deals this issue before

Calling smp_call_function can lead to a deadlock if it is called

Fixing this deadlock requires to move the smp_call_function from the
tasklet context to a work queue. To do that queue the path pending
interrupts to a separate list and move the path cleanup out of
iucv_path_sever to iucv_path_connect and iucv_path_pending.
This creates a new requirement for iucv_path_connect: it may not be
called from tasklet context anymore.

Separate ATA_EHI_DID_RESET into ATA_EHI_DID_SOFTRESET and
ATA_EHI_DID_HARDRESET. ATA_EHI_DID_RESET is redefined as OR of the
two flags. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change. This
will be used later to determine whether _SDD is necessary or not.

(S)ATA drives can be configured for "power-up in standby",
a mode whereby a specific "spin up now!" command is required
before the first media access.
Currently, a drive with this feature enabled can not be used at all
with libata, and once in this mode, the drive becomes a doorstop.
The older drivers/ide subsystem at least enumerates the drive,
so that it can be woken up after the fact from a userspace HDIO_*
command, but not libata.
This patch adds support to libata for the "power-up in standby"
mode where a "spin up now!" command (SET_FEATURES) is needed.
With this, libata will recognize such drives, spin them up,
and then re-IDENTIFY them if necessary to get a full/complete
set of drive features data.
Drives in this state are determined by looking for
special values in id[2], as documented in the current ATA specs.

Add support for ignoring the BIOS HPA result (off by default) and setting
the disk to the full available size unless already frozen.
Tested with various platforms/disks and confirmed to work with the
Macintosh (which broke earlier) and ata_piix (breakage due to the LBA48
readback that Tejun fixed).
For normal users this brings us, I believe, to feature parity with old IDE
(and of course more featured in some areas too).

These will be used to convert LLDs to new init model.
* Add irq_handler field to port_info. In new init model, requesting
IRQ is LLD's responsibility and libata doesn't need to know about
irq_handler. Most LLDs can simply register their irq_handler but
some need different irq_handler depending on specific chip. The
added port_info->irq_handler field can be used by LLDs to select
the matching IRQ handler in such cases.
* Add ata_dummy_port_info.
* Implement ata_pci_prepare_native_host(), a helper to alloc ATA host,
acquire all resources and init the host in one go.
