[PATCH] fix voyager after topology.c move
Commit 9c869edac591977314323a4eaad5f7633fca684f broke voyager again
rather subtly because it already had its own topology exporting
functions, so now each CPU gets registered twice.
I think we can actually use the generic ones, so I don't propose
reverting it. The attached should eliminate the voyager topology
functions in favour of the generic ones.
I also added a define to ensure voyager is never hotplug CPU (we don't
have the support in the SMP harness).

[PATCH] x86_64: Better ATI timer fix
The previous experiment for using apicmaintimer on ATI systems didn't
work out very well. In particular laptops with C2/C3 support often
don't let it tick during idle, which makes it useless. There were also
some other bugs that made the apicmaintimer often not used at all.
I tried some other experiments - running timer over RTC and some other
things but they didn't really work well neither.
I rechecked the specs now and it turns out this simple change is
actually enough to avoid the double ticks on the ATI systems. We just
turn off IRQ 0 in the 8254 and only route it directly using the IO-APIC.
I tested it on a few ATI systems and it worked there. In fact it worked
on all chipsets (NVidia, Intel, AMD, ATI) I tried it on.
According to the ACPI spec routing should always work through the
IO-APIC so I think it's the correct thing to do anyways (and most of the
old gunk in check_timer should be thrown away for x86-64).
But for 2.6.16 it's best to do a fairly minimal change:
- Use the known to be working everywhere-but-ATI IRQ0 both over 8254
and IO-APIC setup everywhere
- Except on ATI disable IRQ0 in the 8254
- Remove the code to select apicmaintimer on ATI chipsets
- Add some boot options to allow to override this (just paranoia)
In 2.6.17 I hope to switch the default over to this for everybody.

SMP time selection originally ran after all CPUs were brought up because
it needed to know the number of CPUs to decide if it needs an MP safe

This is not needed anymore because we know present CPUs early.
This fixes a couple of problems:
- apicmaintimer didn't always work because it relied on state that was
set up time_init_gtod too late.
- The output for the used timer in early kernel log was misleading
because time_init_gtod could actually change it later. Now always

ACPI is initialized very early on x86-64, before the DMI code is

off ACPI because it thought the BIOS was too old. Some systems don't

[PATCH] flags parameter for linkat

Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does.

might want this behavior.
We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior.
For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new

[PATCH] page migration: Fix MPOL_INTERLEAVE behavior for migration via mbind()
migrate_pages_to() allocates a list of new pages on the intended target
node or with the intended policy and then uses the list of new pages as
targets for the migration of a list of pages out of place.
When the pages are allocated it is not clear which of the out of place
pages will be moved to the new pages. So we cannot specify an address as
needed by alloc_page_vma(). This causes problem for MPOL_INTERLEAVE which
will currently allocate the pages on the first node of the set. If mbind
is used with vma that has the policy of MPOL_INTERLEAVE then the
interleaving of pages may be destroyed.
This patch fixes that by generating a fake address for each alloc_page_vma
which will result is a distribution of pages as prescribed by
MPOL_INTERLEAVE.
Lee also noted that the sequence of nodes for the new pages seems to be
inverted. So we also invert the way the lists of pages for migration are

I think, it was me who did this crap. It was so long ago I do not remember
why it was made.
I remember some troubles with dummy device. It tried to resolve
addresses, apparently, without success and generated errors instead of
blackholing. I think the problem was eventually solved at neighbour
level.
After some thinking I suspect the deletion of this chunk could change
behaviour of some parts which do not use neighbour cache f.e. packet
socket.
I think safer approach would be to move this chunk after if (daddr).
And the possibility to remove this completely could be analyzed later.

[XFRM]: Eliminate refcounting confusion by creating __xfrm_state_put().
We often just do an atomic_dec(&x->refcnt) on an xfrm_state object
because we know there is more than 1 reference remaining and thus
we can elide the heavier xfrm_state_put() call.
Do this behind an inline function called __xfrm_state_put() so that is
more obvious and also to allow us to more cleanly add refcount
debugging later.

[IPV4]: Fix garbage collection of multipath route entries
When garbage collecting route cache entries of multipath routes
in rt_garbage_collect(), entries were deleted from the hash bucket
'i' while holding a spin lock on bucket 'k' resulting in a system
hang. Delete entries, if any, from bucket 'k' instead.

[NETFILTER]: Fix bridge netfilter related in xfrm_lookup
The bridge-netfilter code attaches a fake dst_entry with dst->ops == NULL
to purely bridged packets. When these packets are SNATed and a policy
lookup is done, xfrm_lookup crashes because it tries to dereference
dst->ops.
Change xfrm_lookup not to dereference dst->ops before checking for the
DST_NOXFRM flag and set this flag in the fake dst_entry.

There is a race between updating the irq mask and setting it

Fix a race in the receive NAPI, irq handling. The interrupt clear and the
start need to be separated. Otherwise there is a window between the last
frame received and the NAPI done level handling.

r8169: fix broken ring index handling in suspend/resume
rtl8169_hw_start() requires that the descriptor ring indexes be
set to zero. Let a deferred invocation of rtl8169_reset_task()
handle it. Enabling a few power management bits will not hurt
either.
suspend/resume is issued with irq on: the spinlock do not need
to save the irq flag.
When I changed the hvlpevent_queue code to use a spinlock instead of a
custom atomic (719d1cd86780c156f954fc34f34481adac197aec) I didn't
initialise the lock anywhere, oops.

Since about Linux 2.6.14, sbp2's inquiry workaround did not work anymore
due to changes in the SCSI layer. Update it to become effective again.
Testing one of the two known affected bridges has shown that skip_ms_page_8
is required as well.
Also, make force_inquiry_hack tunable via /sys/module/sbp2/parameters.

sbp2: variable status FIFO address (fix login timeout)
Let the ieee1394 core select a suitable 1394 address range for sbp2's
status FIFO instead of using a fixed range. Since the core only selects
addresses which are guaranteed to be out of the "physical range" as per
OHCI 1.1, this patch also fixes an old bug:
OHCI controllers which implement a writeable PhysicalUpperBound register
included sbp2's status FIFO in the physical range. That way sbp2 was
never notified of a succesful login and always failed after timeout.
Affected OHCI host adapters include ALi and Fujitsu controllers.
As another side effect of this patch, the status FIFO is no longer
located in a range for which OHCI chips perform "posted writes". Each
status write now requires a response subaction. But since large data
transfers involve only few status writes, there is no measurable
decrease of I/O throughput. What's more, the status FIFO is now safe
from potential host bus errors. Nevertheless, posted writes could be
re-enabled by extensions to the ARM features of the 1394 stack.

sbp2: fix another deadlock after disconnection
If there were commands enqueued but not completed before an SBP-2 unit

smarter use of the interrupt control registers (if/when chipset
