1fce5e5da0 [SCSI] mvsas : interrupt handling
When a slot is busy, we will not free this slot until slot reset is
completed.  When unplugged the disk, we should release all command
tasks with unplugged port that have been sent.

If MVS_USE_TASKLET is defined, we can enable tasklet. Default is off.

b97d480340 ACPI: fix Medion _PRT quirk (use "ISA_", not "ISA")
This fixes the builtin RTL8139 NIC on the Medion MD9580-F laptop.  The
BIOS reports the interrupt routing incorrectly.  I recently added a
quirk to work around this, and this patch fixes a typo in the quirk.

We pad every ACPI pathname component to four characters, so ".ISA." will
never match anything.  We need ".ISA_." instead.

Thank you Johann-Nikolaus Andreae <johann-nikolaus.andreae@nacs.de>

While backporting 72dc67a696, a gfn_to_page()

5dc8326282 KVM: VMX: Restore tss even on x86_64
The vmx hardware state restore restores the tss selector and base address, but
not its length.  Usually, this does not matter since most of the tss contents
is within the default length of 0x67.  However, if a process is using ioperm()
to grant itself I/O port permissions, an additional bitmap within the tss,
but outside the default length is consulted.  The effect is that the process
will receive a SIGSEGV instead of transparently accessing the port.

Fix by restoring the tss length.  Note that i386 had this working already.

Closes bugzilla 10246.

8a443df40b PCI: iova: lockdep false alarm fix
lockdep goes off on the iova copy_reserved_iova() because it and a function
it calls grabs locks in the from, and the to of the copy operation.

The function grab locks of the same lock classes triggering the warning.  The
first lock grabbed is for the constant reserved areas that is never accessed
after early boot.  Technically you could do without grabbing the locks for the
"from" structure its copying reserved areas from.

But dropping the from locks to me looks wrong, even though it would be ok.

The affected code only runs in early boot as its setting up the DMAR
engines.

This patch gives the reserved_ioval_list locks special lockdep classes.

055b93c9e3 USB: ehci: stop vt6212 bus hogging
The VIA VT6212 defaults to only waiting 1us between passes over EHCI's
async ring, which hammers PCI badly ... and by preventing other devices
from accessing the bus, causes problems like drops in IDE throughput,
a problem that's been bugging users of those chips for several years.

A (partial) datasheet for this chip eventually turned up, letting us
see how to make it use a VIA-specific register to switch over to the
the normal 10us value instead, as suggested by the EHCI specification
Solution noted by Lev A. Melnikovsky.

It's not clear whether this register exists on other VIA chips; we
know that it's ineffective on the vt8235.  So this patch only applies
to chips that seem to be incarnations of the (discrete) vt6212.

c07a9c4995 sata_promise: fix hardreset hotplug events, take 2
A Promise SATA controller will signal hotplug events when a hard
reset (COMRESET) is done on a port. These events aren't masked by
the driver, and the unexpected interrupts will cause a sequence
of failed reset attempts util libata's EH finally gives up.

This has not been a common problem so far, but the pending libata
hardreset-by-default changes makes it a critical issue.

The solution is to disable hotplug events before a reset, and to
reenable them afterwards. (Promise's driver does this too.)

This patch adds SATA-specific versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw()
that also disable and enable hotplug events. PATA ports continue
to use the old versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw().

Accesses to the hotplug register must be serialised via host->lock.
We rely on ap->lock == &ap->host->lock and that libata takes this
lock before ->freeze() and ->thaw(). Document this requirement.
The interrupt handler is adjusted so its hotplug register accesses
are inside the region protected by host->lock.

Tested on various chips (SATA300TX4, SATA300TX2plus, SATAII150TX4,
FastTrack TX4000) with various combinations of SATA and PATA disks,
with and without the pending hardreset-by-default changes.

a846a1954b bsd_acct: plain current->real_parent access is not always safe
This is minor, but dereferencing even current real_parent is not safe on debug
kernels, since the memory, this points to, can be unmapped - RCU protection is
required.

Besides, the tgid field is deprecated and is to be replaced with task_tgid_xxx
call (the 2nd patch), so RCU will be required anyway.

4dd4b92021 revert "kswapd should only wait on IO if there is IO"
Revert commit f1a9ee758d:

  Author: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>
  Date:   Thu Feb 7 00:14:08 2008 -0800

    kswapd should only wait on IO if there is IO

    The current kswapd (and try_to_free_pages) code has an oddity where the
    code will wait on IO, even if there is no IO in flight.  This problem is
    notable especially when the system scans through many unfreeable pages,
    causing unnecessary stalls in the VM.

    Additionally, tasks without __GFP_FS or __GFP_IO in the direct reclaim path
    will sleep if a significant number of pages are encountered that should be
    written out.  This gives kswapd a chance to write out those pages, while
    the direct reclaim task sleeps.

537878d2c9 hw_random doc updates
Update documentation for the hw_random support to be current:

 - Documentation/hw_random.txt has been updated to reflect the
   current code:  it's a framework now, a "core" with a small
   sysfs interface, that hardware-specific drivers plug in to.
   Text specific to Intel hardware is now at the end.

 - Kconfig now references the Documentation/hw_random.txt file
   and better explains what this really does.

Both chunks of documentation now higlight the fact that the kernel entropy
pool is maintained by "rngd", and this driver has nothing directly to do with
that important task.

cb622bbb69 smackfs: remove redundant lock, fix open(,O_RDWR)
Older smackfs was parsing MAC rules by characters, thus a need of locking
write sessions on open() was needed.  This lock is no longer useful now since
each rule is handled by a single write() call.

This is also a bugfix since seq_open() was not called if an open() O_RDWR flag
was given, leading to a seq_read() without an initialized seq_file, thus an
Oops.

5a982cbc7b mm: fix boundary checking in free_bootmem_core
With numa enabled, some callers could have a range of memory on one node
but try to free that on other node.  This can cause some pages to be
freed wrongly.

For example: when we try to allocate 128g boot ram early for
gart/swiotlb, and free that range later so gart/swiotlb can get some
range afterwards.

With this patch, we don't need to care which node holds the range, just
loop to call free_bootmem_node for all online nodes.

This patch makes free_bootmem_core() more robust by trimming the sidx
and eidx according the ram range that the node has.

And make the free_bootmem_core handle this out of range case.  We could
use bdata_list to make sure the range can be freed for sure.  So next
time, we don't need to loop online nodes and could use free_bootmem
directly.
