e984bb43f7 [PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundary
Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's
endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER.  An issue is that the buddy allocator
requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned.  Otherwise
__page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial
MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints.  page_is_buddy will detect that
these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem
allocator and not part of zone).  Of course the negative here is we could
waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks
for zone boundary conditions.

SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint
when SPARSEMEM is configured.  ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic
either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently.  This
leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for
node_mem_map.

aef9ab4784 [JFFS2] Support new device nodes
Device node major/minor numbers are just stored in the payload of a single
data node. Just extend that to 4 bytes and use new_encode_dev() for it.

We only use the 4-byte format if we _need_ to, if !old_valid_dev(foo).
This preserves backwards compatibility with older code as much as
possible. If we do make devices with major or minor numbers above 255, and
then mount the file system with the old code, it'll just read the first
two bytes and get the numbers wrong. If it comes to garbage-collect it,
it'll then write back those wrong numbers. But that's about the best we
can expect.

4cff33f94f [PATCH] SPI: per-transfer overrides for wordsize and clocking
Some protocols (like one for some bitmap displays) require different clock
speed or word size settings for each transfer in an SPI message. This adds
those parameters to struct spi_transfer.  They are to be used when they are

messages that use those overrides, and implements it so that the pure
bitbanging code can help resolve any questions about how it should work.

e6333fd4dd [PATCH] fix can_share_swap_page() when !CONFIG_SWAP
can_share_swap_page() is used to check if the page has the last reference.
This avoids allocating a new page for COW if it's the last page.

However, if CONFIG_SWAP is not set, can_share_swap_page() is defined as 0,
thus always causes a copy for the last COW page.  The below simple patch

5e37661389 [PATCH] symbol_put_addr() locks kernel
Even since a previous patch:

Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules
Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:55:19 +0000 (17:55 +0000)
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=92b3db26d31cf21b70e3c1eadc56c179506d8fbe

The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel.

symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call
two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try
to acquire the same lock.  This deadlocks the kernel of course.

This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it
doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly.  Also, it
now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address().  The latter has
an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that
since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address
uses) ourselves.

ata_eh_recover() : perform recovery actions described in ap->eh_context

LLDDs can customize error handling by modifying eh_context before
calling ata_do_eh() or, if necessary, doing so inbetween each major
steps by calling each step explicitly.

f3e81b19aa [PATCH] libata-eh: implement ata_eh_info and ata_eh_context
struct ata_eh_info serves as the communication channel between
execution path and EH.  Execution path describes detected error
condition in ap->eh_info and EH recovers the port using it.  To avoid
missing error conditions detected during EH, EH makes its own copy of
eh_info and clears it on entry allowing error info to accumulate
during EH.

Most EH states including EH's copy of eh_info are stored in
ap->eh_context (struct ata_eh_context) which is owned by EH and thus
doesn't require any synchronization to access and alter.  This
standardized context makes it easy to integrate various parts of EH
and extend EH to handle multiple links (for PM).

ad9e276244 [PATCH] libata-eh-fw: update ata_scsi_error() for new EH
Update ata_scsi_error() for new EH.  ata_scsi_error() is responsible
for claiming timed out qcs and invoking ->error_handler in safe and
synchronized manner.  As the state of the controller is unknown if a
qc has timed out, the port is frozen in such cases.

Note that ata_scsi_timed_out() isn't used for new EH.  This is because
a timed out qc cannot be claimed by EH without freezing the port and
freezing the port in ata_scsi_timed_out() results in unnecessary
abortion of other active qcs.  ata_scsi_timed_out() can be removed
once all drivers are converted to new EH.

While at it, add 'TODO: kill' comments to old EH functions.

e318049949 [PATCH] libata-eh-fw: implement freeze/thaw
Freezing is performed atomic w.r.t. host_set->lock and once frozen
LLDD is not allowed to access the port or any qc on it.  Also, libata
makes sure that no new qc gets issued to a frozen port.

A frozen port is thawed after a reset operation completes
successfully, so reset methods must do its job while the port is
frozen.  During initialization all ports get frozen before requesting
IRQ, so reset methods are always invoked on a frozen port.

Optional ->freeze and ->thaw operations notify LLDD that the port is
being frozen and thawed, respectively.  LLDD can disable/enable
hardware interrupt in these callbacks if the controller's IRQ mask can
be changed dynamically.  If the controller doesn't allow such
operation, LLDD can check for frozen state in the interrupt handler
and ack/clear interrupts unconditionally while frozen.

7b70fc0398 [PATCH] libata-eh-fw: implement ata_port_schedule_eh() and ata_port_abort()
ata_port_schedule_eh() directly schedules EH for @ap without
associated qc.  Once EH scheduled, no further qc is allowed and EH
kicks in as soon as all currently active qc's are drained.

ata_port_abort() schedules all currently active commands for EH by
qc_completing them with ATA_QCFLAG_FAILED set.  If ata_port_abort()
doesn't find any qc to abort, it directly schedule EH using
ata_port_schedule_eh().

These two functions provide ways to invoke EH for conditions which
aren't directly related to any specfic qc.

f686bcb807 [PATCH] libata-eh-fw: implement new EH scheduling via error completion
There are several ways a qc can get schedule for EH in new EH.  This
patch implements one of them - completing a qc with ATA_QCFLAG_FAILED
set or with non-zero qc->err_mask.  ALL such qc's are examined by EH.

New EH schedules a qc for EH from completion iff ->error_handler is
implemented, qc is marked as failed or qc->err_mask is non-zero and
the command is not an internal command (internal cmd is handled via
->post_internal_cmd).  The EH scheduling itself is performed by asking
SCSI midlayer to schedule EH for the specified scmd.

For drivers implementing old-EH, nothing changes.  As this change
makes ata_qc_complete() rather large, it's not inlined anymore and
__ata_qc_complete() is exported to other parts of libata for later
use.

f69499f42c [PATCH] libata-eh-fw: update ata_qc_from_tag() to enforce normal/EH qc ownership
New EH framework has clear distinction about who owns a qc.  Every qc
starts owned by normal execution path - PIO, interrupt or whatever.
When an exception condition occurs which affects the qc, the qc gets
scheduled for EH.  Note that some events (say, link lost and regained,
command timeout) may schedule qc's which are not directly related but
could have been affected for EH too.  Scheduling for EH is atomic
w.r.t. ap->host_set->lock and once schedule for EH, normal execution
path is not allowed to access the qc in whatever way.  (PIO
synchronization acts a bit different and will be dealt with later)

This patch make ata_qc_from_tag() check whether a qc is active and
owned by normal path before returning it.  If conditions don't match,
NULL is returned and thus access to the qc is denied.
__ata_qc_from_tag() is the original ata_qc_from_tag() and is used by
libata core/EH layers to access inactive/failed qc's.

This change is applied only if the associated LLDD implements new EH
as indicated by non-NULL ->error_handler
