b42172fc7b Don't call "note_interrupt()" with irq descriptor lock held
This reverts commit f72fa70760, and solves
the problem that it tried to fix by simply making "__do_IRQ()" call the
note_interrupt() function without the lock held, the way everybody else
does.

It should be noted that all interrupt handling code must never allow the
descriptor actors to be entered "recursively" (that's why we do all the
magic IRQ_PENDING stuff in the first place), so there actually is
exclusion at that much higher level, even in the absense of locking.

 <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

The root cause is that some irq_chip variables, especially ia64_msi_chip,
initiate their memeber end to point to NULL. __do_IRQ doesn't check
if irq_chip->end is null and just calls it after processing the interrupt.

As irq_chip->end is called at many places, so I fix it by reinitiating
irq_chip->end to dummy_irq_chip.end, e.g., a noop function.

f72fa70760 [PATCH] Fix misrouted interrupts deadlocks
While testing kernel on machine with "irqpoll" option I've caught such a
lockup:

	__do_IRQ()
	   spin_lock(&desc->lock);
           desc->chip->ack(); /* IRQ is ACKed */
	note_interrupt()
	misrouted_irq()
	handle_IRQ_event()
           if (...)
	      local_irq_enable_in_hardirq();
	/* interrupts are enabled from now */
	...
	__do_IRQ() /* same IRQ we've started from */
	   spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* LOCKUP */

Looking at misrouted_irq() code I've found that a potential deadlock like
this can also take place:

1CPU:
__do_IRQ()
   spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
misrouted_irq()
   for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
      spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
      if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {

2CPU:
__do_IRQ()
   spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
misrouted_irq()
   for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
      spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
      if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {

As the second lock on both CPUs is taken before checking that this irq is
being handled in another processor this may cause a deadlock.  This issue
is only theoretical.

I propose the attached patch to fix booth problems: when trying to handle
misrouted IRQ active desc->lock may be unlocked.

01a3ee2b20 [PATCH] bitmap: parse input from kernel and user buffers
lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer.  This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.

This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().

We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
buffer differently.  We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
kernel and user.

This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers.  We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.

Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

1f80025e62 [PATCH] msi: simplify msi sanity checks by adding with generic irq code
Currently msi.c is doing sanity checks that make certain before an irq is
destroyed it has no more users.

By adding irq_has_action I can perform the test is a generic way, instead of
relying on a msi specific data structure.

By performing the core check in dynamic_irq_cleanup I ensure every user of
dynamic irqs has a test present and we don't free resources that are in use.

In msi.c this allows me to kill the attrib.state member of msi_desc and all of
the assciated code to maintain it.

To keep from freeing data structures when irq cleanup code is called to soon
changing dyanamic_irq_cleanup is insufficient because there are msi specific
data structures that are also not safe to free.

3a16d71362 [PATCH] genirq: irq: add a dynamic irq creation API
With the msi support comes a new concept in irq handling, irqs that are
created dynamically at run time.

Currently the msi code allocates irqs backwards.  First it allocates a
platform dependent routing value for an interrupt the ``vector'' and then it
figures out from the vector which irq you are on.

This msi backwards allocator suffers from two basic problems.  The allocator
suffers because it is trying to do something that is architecture specific in
a generic way making it brittle, inflexible, and tied to tightly to the
architecture implementation.  The alloctor also suffers from it's very
backwards nature as it has tied things together that should have no
dependencies.

To solve the basic dynamic irq allocation problem two new architecture
specific functions are added: create_irq and destroy_irq.

create_irq takes no input and returns an unused irq number, that won't be
reused until it is returned to the free poll with destroy_irq.  The irq then
can be used for any purpose although the only initial consumer is the msi
code.

destroy_irq takes an irq number allocated with create_irq and returns it to
the free pool.

Making this functionality per architecture increases the simplicity of the irq
allocation code and increases it's flexibility.

dynamic_irq_init() and dynamic_irq_cleanup() are added to automate the
irq_desc initializtion that should happen for dynamic irqs.

e7b946e98a [PATCH] genirq: irq: add moved_masked_irq
Currently move_native_irq disables and renables the irq we are migrating to
ensure we don't take that irq when we are actually doing the migration
operation.  Disabling the irq needs to happen but sometimes doing the work is
move_native_irq is too late.

On x86 with ioapics the irq move sequences needs to be:
edge_triggered:
  mask irq.
  move irq.
  unmask irq.
  ack irq.
level_triggered:
  mask irq.
  ack irq.
  move irq.
  unmask irq.

We can easily perform the edge triggered sequence, with the current defintion
of move_native_irq.  However the level triggered case does not map well.  For
that I have added move_masked_irq, to allow me to disable the irqs around both
the ack and the move.

Q: Why have we not seen this problem earlier?

A: The only symptom I have been able to reproduce is that if we change
   the vector before acknowleding an irq the wrong irq is acknowledged.
   Since we currently are not reprogramming the irq vector during
   migration no problems show up.

   We have to mask the irq before we acknowledge the irq or else we could
   hit a window where an irq is asserted just before we acknowledge it.

   Edge triggered irqs do not have this problem because acknowledgements
   do not propogate in the same way.

a24ceab4f4 [PATCH] genirq: irq: convert the move_irq flag from a 32bit word to a single bit
The primary aim of this patchset is to remove maintenances problems caused by
the irq infrastructure.  The two big issues I address are an artificially
small cap on the number of irqs, and that MSI assumes vector == irq.  My
primary focus is on x86_64 but I have touched other architectures where
necessary to keep them from breaking.

- To increase the number of irqs I modify the code to look at the (cpu,
  vector) pair instead of just looking at the vector.

  With a large number of irqs available systems with a large irq count no
  longer need to compress their irq numbers to fit.  Removing a lot of brittle
  special cases.

  For acpi guys the result is that irq == gsi.

- Addressing the fact that MSI assumes irq == vector takes a few more
  patches.  But suffice it to say when I am done none of the generic irq code
  even knows what a vector is.

In quick testing on a large Unisys x86_64 machine we stumbled over at least
one driver that assumed that NR_IRQS could always fit into an 8 bit number.
This driver is clearly buggy today.  But this has become a class of bugs that
it is now much easier to hit.

This patch:

This is a minor space optimization.  In practice I don't think this has any
affect because of our alignment constraints and the other fields but there is
not point in chewing up an uncessary word and since we already read the flag
field this should improve the cache hit ratio of the irq handler.

86998aa653 [PATCH] genirq core: fix handle_level_irq()
while porting the -rt tree to 2.6.18-rc7 i noticed the following
screaming-IRQ scenario on an SMP system:

 2274  0Dn.:1 0.001ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.010ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.020ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.029ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.039ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.048ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.058ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.068ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.077ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.087ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)
 2274  0Dn.:1 0.097ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103  <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf)

as it turns out, the bug is caused by handle_level_irq(), which if it
races with another CPU already handling this IRQ, it _unmasks_ the IRQ
line on the way out. This is not how 2.6.17 works, and we introduced
this bug in one of the early genirq cleanups right before it went into
-mm. (the bug was not in the genirq patchset for a long time, and we
didnt notice the bug due to the lack of -rt rebase to the new genirq
code. -rt, and hardirq-preemption in particular opens up such races much
wider than anything else.)

15a647eba9 [PATCH] genirq: {en,dis}able_irq_wake() need refcounting too
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.

fbb9ce9530 [PATCH] lockdep: core
Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options -
reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and
you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files.

Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out
voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output
can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario.

What does the lock validator do?  It "observes" and maps all locking rules as
they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks,
rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems).  Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a
new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of
rules.  If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the
new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal.  If the
new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out.

When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are
considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task
context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing
locking scenarios.  In a typical system this means millions of separate
scenarios.  This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all
rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical
certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator
implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not
corrupted by some other kernel subsystem).  [see more details and conditionals
of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and
Documentation/lockdep-design.txt]

Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also
enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races
via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs
drastically.  In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in
the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and
which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs.
That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!).  So in essence a
race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components
for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself!  In its
short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they
actually caused a real deadlock.

To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per
"lock instance", but per "lock-class".  For example, all struct inode objects
in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex.  If there are 10,000 inodes cached,
then there are 10,000 lock objects.  But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock
type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are
"unified" into this single lock-class.  The advantage of the lock-class
approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single
(and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many
different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules.  The
set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel.

To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a
portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup:

 lock-classes:                            694 [max: 2048]
 direct dependencies:                  1598 [max: 8192]
 indirect dependencies:               17896
 all direct dependencies:             16206
 dependency chains:                    1910 [max: 8192]
 in-hardirq chains:                      17
 in-softirq chains:                     105
 in-process chains:                    1065
 stack-trace entries:                 38761 [max: 131072]
 combined max dependencies:         2033928
 hardirq-safe locks:                     24
 hardirq-unsafe locks:                  176
 softirq-safe locks:                     53
 softirq-unsafe locks:                  137
 irq-safe locks:                         59
 irq-unsafe locks:                      176

The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns,
and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.

More details about the design of the lock validator can be found in
Documentation/lockdep-design.txt, which can also found at:

d1bef4ed5f [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chip
This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.

While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.

The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.

This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.

As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.

The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.

We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.

This patch:

rename desc->handler to desc->chip.

Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch.  But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.

I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.

So lets get over with this quickly.  The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.

This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

1b61b910e9 [PATCH] x86: kernel irq balance doesn't work
On i386, kernel irq balance doesn't work.

1) In function do_irq_balance, after kernel finds the min_loaded cpu but
   before calling set_pending_irq to really pin the selected_irq to the
   target cpu, kernel does a cpus_and with irq_affinity[selected_irq].
   Later on, when the irq is acked, kernel would calls
   move_native_irq=>desc->handler->set_affinity to change the irq affinity.
    However, every function pointed by
   hw_interrupt_type->set_affinity(unsigned int irq, cpumask_t cpumask)
   always changes irq_affinity[irq] to cpumask.  Next time when recalling
   do_irq_balance, it has to do cpu_ands again with
   irq_affinity[selected_irq], but irq_affinity[selected_irq] already
   becomes one cpu selected by the first irq balance.

2) Function balance_irq in file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c has the same
   issue.

501f2499b8 [PATCH] IRQ: prevent enabling of previously disabled interrupt
This fix prevents re-disabling and enabling of a previously disabled
interrupt.  On an SMP system with irq balancing enabled; If an interrupt is
disabled from within its own interrupt context with disable_irq_nosync and is
also earmarked for processor migration, the interrupt is blindly moved to the
other processor and enabled without regard for its current "enabled" state.
If there is an interrupt pending, it will unexpectedly invoke the irq handler
on the new irq owning processor (even though the irq was previously disabled)

The more intuitive fix would be to invoke disable_irq_nosync and
enable_irq, but since we already have the desc->lock from __do_IRQ, we
cannot call them directly.  Instead we can use the same logic to disable
and enable found in disable_irq_nosync and enable_irq, with regards to the
desc->depth.

This now prevents a disabled interrupt from being re-disabled, and more
importantly prevents a disabled interrupt from being incorrectly enabled on
a different processor.

54d5d42404 [PATCH] x86/x86_64: deferred handling of writes to /proc/irqxx/smp_affinity
When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte
entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause
chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts.

CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the
interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well.
Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing.

- Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for
  lack of a generic name.
- added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64
- Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq
  handling time.
- Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead
  it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set.
- Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating
  when using generic irq framework.

Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off.
Tested UP builds as well.

MSI testing: tbd: I have cards, need to look for a x-over cable, although I
did test an earlier version of this patch.  Will test in a couple days.

although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default
as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically).

A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause
an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for.  In those cases it
doesn't help.

b77d6adc92 [PATCH] uml: make hw_controller_type->release exist only for archs needing it
With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org>

As suggested by Chris, we can make the "just added" method ->release
conditional to UML only (better: to archs requesting it, i.e.  only UML
currently), so that other archs don't get this unneeded crud, and if UML
won't need it any more we can kill this.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
dbce706e25 [PATCH] uml: add and use generic hw_controller_type->release
With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org>

Currently UML must explicitly call the UML-specific
free_irq_by_irq_and_dev() for each free_irq call it's done.

This is needed because ->shutdown and/or ->disable are only called when the
last "action" for that irq is removed.

Instead, for UML shared IRQs (UML IRQs are very often, if not always,
shared), for each dev_id some setup is done, which must be cleared on the
release of that fd.  For instance, for each open console a new instance
(i.e.  new dev_id) of the same IRQ is requested().

Exactly, a fd is stored in an array (pollfds), which is after read by a
host thread and passed to poll().  Each event registered by poll() triggers
an interrupt.  So, for each free_irq() we must remove the corresponding
host fd from the table, which we do via this -release() method.

In this patch we add an appropriate hook for this, and remove all uses of
it by pointing the hook to the said procedure; this is safe to do since the
said procedure.

Also some cosmetic improvements are included.

This is heavily based on some work by Chris Wedgwood, which however didn't
get the patch merged for something I'd call a "misunderstanding" (the need
for this patch wasn't cleanly explained, thus adding the generic hook was
felt as undesirable).

b60c1f6ffd [PATCH] drop note_interrupt() for per-CPU for proper scaling
The "unhandled interrupts" catcher, note_interrupt(), increments a global
desc->irq_count and grossly damages scaling of very large systems, e.g.,
>192p ia64 Altix, because of this highly contented cacheline, especially
for timer interrupts.  384p is severely crippled, and 512p is unuseable.

All calls to note_interrupt() can be disabled by booting with "noirqdebug",
but this disables the useful interrupt checking for all interrupts.

I propose eliminating note_interrupt() for all per-CPU interrupts.  This
was the behavior of linux-2.6.10 and earlier, but in 2.6.11 a code
restructuring added a call to note_interrupt() for per-CPU interrupts.
Besides, note_interrupt() is a bit racy for concurrent CPU calls anyway, as
the desc->irq_count++ increment isn't atomic (which, if done, would make
scaling even worse).

4f167fb491 [PATCH] spurious interrupt fix
On my IA64 machine, after kernel 2.6.12-rc3 boots, an edge-triggered
interrupt (IRQ 46) keeps triggered over and over again.  There is no IRQ 46
interrupt action handler.  It has lots of impact on performance.

Kernel 2.6.10 and its prior versions have no the problem.  Basically,
kernel 2.6.10 will mask the spurious edge interrupt if the interrupt is
triggered for the second time and its status includes
IRQ_DISABLE|IRQ_PENDING.

Originally, IA64 kernel has its own specific _irq_desc definitions in file
arch/ia64/kernel/irq.c.  The definition initiates _irq_desc[irq].status to
IRQ_DISABLE.  Since kernel 2.6.11, it was moved to architecture independent
codes, i.e.  kernel/irq/handle.c, but kernel/irq/handle.c initiates
_irq_desc[irq].status to 0 instead of IRQ_DISABLE.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
