We currently have two implementations of this obsolete ioctl, one in
the block layer and one in the scsi code. Both of them have drawbacks.
This patch kills the scsi layer version after updating the block version
with the missing bits:
- argument checking
- use scatterlist I/O
- set number of retries based on the submitted command
This is the last user of non-S/G I/O except for the gdth driver, so
getting this in ASAP and through the scsi tree would be nie to kill
the non-S/G I/O path. Jens, what do you think about adding a check
for non-S/G I/O in the midlayer?
Thanks to Or Gerlitz for testing this patch.

The in-kernel Sangoma drivers are both not compiling and marked as BROKEN
since at least kernel 2.6.0.
Sangoma offers out-of-tree drivers, and David Mandelstam told me Sangoma
does no longer maintain the in-kernel drivers and prefers to provide them
as a separate installation package.
This patch therefore removes these drivers.

In vsyscall function do_vgettimeofday(), some functions are declared as
inlined, which is a hint for gcc to compile the function inlined but it
not forced. Sometimes compiler does not compile the function as
inlined, so here inline is replaced by __always_inline prefix.
It does not happen in gcc compiler actually, but it possibly happens.

Bugzilla Bug 6299:
A pixel size of 8 bits produces wrong logo colors in x86_64.
The driver has 2 methods for setting the color map, using the protected
mode interface provided by the video BIOS and directly writing to the VGA
registers. The former is not supported in x86_64 and the latter is enabled
only in i386.
Fix by enabling the latter method in x86_64 only if supported by the BIOS.
If both methods are unsupported, change the visual of vesafb to
STATIC_PSEUDOCOLOR.

sparc32 lacks vga.h, so lots of fbdev drivers won't compile. There are no
sparc32 systems with PCI slots, so it's a bit moot.
The patch gives sparc32 a copy of the sparc64 vga.h. It fixes sparc32
allmodconfig without mucking up fbdev Kconfig and gives us wider compile
coverage.

Every caller of svc_take_page ignores its return value and assumes it
succeeded. So just WARN() instead of returning an ignored error. This would
have saved some time debugging a recent nfsd4 problem.
If there are still failure cases here, then the result is probably that we
overwrite an earlier part of the reply while xdr-encoding.
While the corrupted reply is a nasty bug, it would be worse to panic here and
create the possibility of a remote DOS; hence WARN() instead of BUG().

An UML user reported (against 2.6.13.3/UML) he got kernel Oopses when
trying to rmmod (on a kernel with module unloading enabled) a module
compiled with module unloading disabled. As crashing is a very correct
thing to do in that case, a solution is altering the vermagic string to
include this too.
Possibly, however, the code should not crash in this case, even if the
module didn't support unloading - it should simply abort the module
removal. In this case, fixing that bug would be a better solution. I've
not investigated though.
(akpm: a bit marginal - root screwed up and shot himself in the foot).

Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
each arch. Its definition is sometimes configurable. Indeed, ia64 defines 5
NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree. But it looks a bit messy.
SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
been changeable by config. Suitable node's number may be changed in the
future even if it is other architecture. So, I wrote configurable node's
number.
This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
nodes except ia64. But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.
On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
config. But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too. So, I
changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT. It
would be simpler.

These patches are an enhancement of OVERCOMMIT_GUESS algorithm in
__vm_enough_memory().
- why the kernel needed patching
When the kernel can't allocate anonymous pages in practice, currnet
OVERCOMMIT_GUESS could return success. This implementation might be
the cause of oom kill in memory pressure situation.
If the Linux runs with page reservation features like
/proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio and without swap region, I think
the oom kill occurs easily.
- the overall design approach in the patch
When the OVERCOMMET_GUESS algorithm calculates number of free pages,
the reserved free pages are regarded as non-free pages.
This change helps to avoid the pitfall that the number of free pages
become less than the number which the kernel tries to keep free.
- testing results
I tested the patches using my test kernel module.
If the patches aren't applied to the kernel, __vm_enough_memory()
returns success in the situation but autual page allocation is
failed.
On the other hand, if the patches are applied to the kernel, memory
allocation failure is avoided since __vm_enough_memory() returns
failure in the situation.
I checked that on i386 SMP 16GB memory machine. I haven't tested on
nommu environment currently.
This patch adds totalreserve_pages for __vm_enough_memory().
Calculate_totalreserve_pages() checks maximum lowmem_reserve pages and
pages_high in each zone. Finally, the function stores the sum of each
zone to totalreserve_pages.
The totalreserve_pages is calculated when the VM is initilized.
And the variable is updated when /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_raito
or /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes are changed.

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.
We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.
This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

reshape_position is a 64bit field that was not 64bit aligned. So swap with
new_level.
NOTE: this is a user-visible change. However:
- The bad code has not appeared in a released kernel
- This code is still marked 'experimental'
- This only affects version-1 superblock, which are not in wide use
- These field are only used (rather than simply reported) by user-space
tools in extemely rare circumstances : after a reshape crashes in the
first second of the reshape process.
So I believe that, at this stage, the change is safe. Especially if people
heed the 'help' message on use mdadm-2.4.1.

Oleg Nesterov spotted two interesting bugs with the current de_thread
code. The simplest is a long standing double decrement of
__get_cpu_var(process_counts) in __unhash_process. Caused by
two processes exiting when only one was created.
The other is that since we no longer detach from the thread_group list
it is possible for do_each_thread when run under the tasklist_lock to
see the same task_struct twice. Once on the task list as a
thread_group_leader, and once on the thread list of another
thread.
The double appearance in do_each_thread can cause a double increment
of mm_core_waiters in zap_threads resulting in problems later on in
coredump_wait.
To remedy those two problems this patch takes the simple approach
of changing the old thread group leader into a child thread.
The only routine in release_task that cares is __unhash_process,
and it can be trivially seen that we handle cleaning up a
thread group leader properly.
Since de_thread doesn't change the pid of the exiting leader process
and instead shares it with the new leader process. I change
thread_group_leader to recognize group leadership based on the
group_leader field and not based on pids. This should also be
slightly cheaper then the existing thread_group_leader macro.
I performed a quick audit and I couldn't see any user of
thread_group_leader that cared about the difference.

anymore, but the transition period from old EH where we needed it is
long gone already.

Rohit found an obscure bug causing buddy list corruption.
page_is_buddy is using a non-atomic test (PagePrivate && page_count == 0)
to determine whether or not a free page's buddy is itself free and in the
buddy lists.
Each of the conjuncts may be true at different times due to unrelated
conditions, so the non-atomic page_is_buddy test may find each conjunct to
be true even if they were not both true at the same time (ie. the page was
not on the buddy lists).

Push translation of static rate to HCA format into low-level drivers,
where it belongs. For static rate encoding, use encoding of rate
field from IB standard PathRecord, with addition of value 0, for
backwards compatibility with current usage. The changes are:
- Add enum ib_rate to midlayer includes.
- Get rid of static rate translation in IPoIB; just use static rate
directly from Path and MulticastGroup records.
- Update mthca driver to translate absolute static rate into the
format used by hardware. This also fixes mthca's static rate
handling for HCAs that are capable of 4X DDR.

add optional input and output offsets to sys_splice(), for seekable file
descriptors:
asmlinkage long sys_splice(int fd_in, loff_t __user *off_in,
int fd_out, loff_t __user *off_out,
size_t len, unsigned int flags);
semantics are straightforward: f_pos will be updated with the offset
provided by user-space, before the splice transfer is about to begin.
Providing a NULL offset pointer means the existing f_pos will be used
(and updated in situ). Providing an offset for a pipe results in
-ESPIPE. Providing an invalid offset pointer results in -EFAULT.

separate out the 'internal pipe object' abstraction, and make it
usable to splice. This cleans up and fixes several aspects of the
internal splice APIs and the pipe code:
- pipes: the allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info is now more symmetric
and more streamlined with existing kernel practices.
- splice: small micro-optimization: less pointer dereferencing in splice
methods
