7cd9013be6 [PATCH] remove __put_task_struct_cb export again
The patch '[PATCH] RCU signal handling' [1] added an export for
__put_task_struct_cb, a put_task_struct helper newly introduced in that
patch.  But the put_task_struct couldn't be used modular previously as
__put_task_struct wasn't exported.  There are not callers of it in modular
code, and it shouldn't be exported because we don't want drivers to hold
references to task_structs.

This patch removes the export and folds __put_task_struct into
__put_task_struct_cb as there's no other caller.

Even though, we mount ext3 filesystem in writeback mode with "nobh" option,
some one can do "chattr +j" on a single file to force it to do journalled

fallback to default case of creating buffers and adding them to transaction
etc.

8fce4d8e3b [PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages.
The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote
per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap.  For a machines with large number
of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms.
Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays.

This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable.
Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and
the per cpu pages from one remote node.  That reduces the time spend in
cache_reap.  However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to
completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches.  The
time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system.  All caches
are drained when they overflow their respective capacity.  So the drawback
here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer.

Details:

1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification
   of the node to drain of pcp pages.

2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA
   that manage a per cpu reap_node counter.

3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node.

For us this seems to be a critical issue.  Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms
cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly.  F.e.  NAS parallel
slows down dramatically.  NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor
compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches.  It gets down to 5.05 secs with
the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

96567161de [PATCH] s390: Increase spinlock retry code performance
Currently the code tries up to spin_retry times to grab a lock using the cs
instruction.  The cs instruction has exclusive access to a memory region
and therefore invalidates the appropiate cache line of all other cpus.  If
there is contention on a lock this leads to cache line trashing.  This can
be avoided if we first check wether a cs instruction is likely to succeed
before the instruction gets actually executed.

cf028d1715 [MIPS] Threaten removal of code for NEC DDB5074 and DDB5476 evaluation boards.
What:   Support for NEC DDB5074 and DDB5476 evaluation boards.
When:   June 2006
Why:    Board specific code doesn't build anymore since ~2.6.0 and no
        users have complained indicating there is no more need for these
        boards.  This should really be considered a last call.
Who:    Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

5ee1af9f51 [PATCH] block: disable block layer bouncing for most memory on 64bit systems
The low level PCI DMA mapping functions should handle it in most cases.

This should fix problems with depleting the DMA zone early. The old
code used precious GFP_DMA memory in many cases where it was not needed.

f9262c12c0 [PATCH] i386: port ATI timer fix from x86_64 to i386 II
ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC
timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled.  This is
because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU
ends up processing it twice.

This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0.

I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple
and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but
to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds
options to enable/disable too)

Ported over from a similar x86-64 change.

I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but
tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI.

Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.
