9ea85ebae1 drivers/md/raid5.c: fix printk warnings
gcc-3.4.5 on sparc64:

drivers/md/raid5.c: In function `raid5_end_read_request':

sector_t is u64, and we don't know what type the architecture uses to
implement u64 (on some it is unsigned long).

08ca0db8aa zisofs: fix readpage() outside i_size
A read request outside i_size will be handled in do_generic_file_read().  So
we just return 0 to avoid getting -EIO as normal reading, let
do_generic_file_read do the rest.

At the same time we need unlock the page to avoid system stuck.

ae66be9b71 rcu: fix misplaced mb() in rcu_enter/exit_nohz()
In the process of writing up the mechanical proof of correctness for the
dynticks/preemptable-RCU interface, I noticed misplaced memory barriers in
rcu_enter_nohz() and rcu_exit_nohz().

This patch puts them in the right place and adds a comment.  The key thing to
keep in mind is that rcu_enter_nohz() is -exiting- the mode that can legally
execute RCU read-side critical sections.

The memory barrier must be between any potential RCU read-side critical
sections and the increment of the per-CPU dynticks_progress_counter, and thus
must come -before- this increment.  And vice versa for rcu_exit_nohz().

The locking in the scheduler is probably saving us for the moment.

Also, switch to smp_mb() - we don't need a barrier for uniprocessor kernels.

b691da35ba i810fb: fix console switch regression
Since 4c7ffe0b9f ("fbdev: prevent drivers that
have hardware cursors from calling software cursor code") every call of
i810fb_cursor fails with -ENXIO because of a incorrect "!".

This hasn't struck until eaa0ff15c3 ("fix !
versus & precedence in various places") surrounded the expression with braces,
so that the intended behavior was inverted.  That caused 'pixel waste' - the
same line of multi-colored pixels repeated over the whole screen - during
console switch.

This switches back to the original pre-4c7ffe0 behavior.

To test this case mount a filesystem with data=journal, start creating and

pull the plug on the device.  Without this patch the files will contain zeros

1d252fb870 smack: do not dereference NULL ipc object
In the SYSV ipc msgctl(),semctl(),shmctl() family, if the user passed *_INFO
as the desired operation, no specific object is meant to be controlled and
only system-wide information is returned.  This leads to a NULL IPC object in
the LSM hooks if the _INFO flag is given.

4ebf89845b ROMFS: Fix up an error in iget removal
Fix up an error in iget removal in which romfs_lookup() making a successful
call to romfs_iget() continues through the negative/error handling (previously
the successful case jumped around the negative/error handling case):

 (1) inode is initialised to NULL at the top of the function, eliminating the
     need for specific negative-inode handling.  This means the positive
     success handling now flows straight through.

 (2) Rename the labels to be clearer about what they mean.

Also make romfs_lookup()'s result variable of type long so as to avoid
32-bit/64-bit conversions with PTR_ERR() and friends.

Based upon a report and patch from Adam Richter.

Besides, the thread_group_leader() macro makes only one dereference :)

6cb2a21049 aio: bad AIO race in aio_complete() leads to process hang
My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process
sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come
and it never would.

We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP.  The hang only occurred on a Xeon box
("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe").  On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't
shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all
two processors on the Core2Duo we use.

My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop
in read_events(), what happens on processor #1:
	1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait
	2) aio_read_evt() to check tail
	3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep

In aio_complete() with processor #2:
	A) info->tail = tail;
	B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait)
	C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up()

The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors
before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by
step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors
(checked in step 2) before step B is done.

The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were
effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2
cache not shared by some of the other processors.  Imagine:
proc 2: just before step A
proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet
proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events
proc 2, step A: updates tail
proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps
proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup
                so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely

My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B.  It ensures that the
update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing.  If processor 1
was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update
tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail).

Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time.  After
the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.

6c3c3158a8 IDE: Make taskfile interface more robust wrt unexpected end-of-command
Now that we handle all the special commands using REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE
rather than using the old REQ_TYPE_ATA_CMD model, we need to also
emulate the lack of full taskfile data that comes with the old command
model (ie when commands are generated with the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl
rather than using the HDIO_DRIVE_TASK[FILE] ioctls).

In particular, this means that we should handle command completion the
more relaxed way that the old drive_cmd_intr() code did.  It allows
commands to finish early even if they don't use up all the data that we
thought we had for them.

This fixes a regression seen by Anders Eriksson where some SMART
commands sent by smartd would cause a boot-time system hang on his
machine because the IDE command handling code didn't realize that the
command had completed.

33b0c4217d sched: tune multi-core idle balancing
WAKE_IDLE is too agressive on multi-core CPUs with the new
wake-affine code, keep it on for SMT/HT balancing alone
(where there's no cache affinity at all between logical CPUs).

f540a6080a sched: wakeup-buddy tasks are cache-hot
Wakeup-buddy tasks are cache-hot - this makes it a bit harder
for the load-balancer to tear them apart. (but it's still possible,
if the load is sufficiently assymetric)

4ae7d5cefd sched: improve affine wakeups
improve affine wakeups. Maintain the 'overlap' metric based on CFS's
sum_exec_runtime - which means the amount of time a task executes
after it wakes up some other task.

Use the 'overlap' for the wakeup decisions: if the 'overlap' is short,
it means there's strong workload coupling between this task and the
woken up task. If the 'overlap' is large then the workload is decoupled
and the scheduler will move them to separate CPUs more easily.

( Also slightly move the preempt_check within try_to_wake_up() - this has
  no effect on functionality but allows 'early wakeups' (for still-on-rq
  tasks) to be correctly accounted as well.)

(the md5's changed because stack slots changed and some registers
get scheduled by gcc in a different order - but otherwise the before

8d8002f642 async_tx: avoid the async xor_zero_sum path when src_cnt > device->max_xor
If the channel cannot perform the operation in one call to
->device_prep_dma_zero_sum, then fallback to the xor+page_is_zero path.
This only affects users with arrays larger than 16 devices on iop13xx or
32 devices on iop3xx.

f79abb627f fsldma: Fix the DMA halt when using DMA_INTERRUPT async_tx transfer.
The DMA_INTERRUPT async_tx is a NULL transfer, thus the BCR(count register)
is 0. When the transfer started with a byte count of zero, the DMA
controller will triger a PE(programming error) event and halt, not a normal
interrupt. I add special codes for PE event and DMA_INTERRUPT
async_tx testing.
