Inspired by Jesper Juhl's patch from today
1. Get rid of err
We do not set it to anything else but zero.
2. Drop the CONFIG_NUMA stuff.
There are definitions for alloc_alien_cache and free_alien_cache()
that do the right thing for the non NUMA case.
3. Better naming of variables.
4. Remove redundant cachep->nodelists[node] expressions.

__drain_alien_cache() currently drains objects by freeing them to the
(remote) freelists of the original node. However, each node also has a
shared list containing objects to be used on any processor of that node.
We can avoid a number of remote node accesses by copying the pointers to
the free objects directly into the remote shared array.
And while we are at it: Skip alien draining if the alien cache spinlock is
already taken.
Kiran reported that this is a performance benefit.

slabr_objects() can be used to transfer objects between various object
caches of the slab allocator. It is currently only used during
__cache_alloc() to retrieve elements from the shared array. We will be
using it soon to transfer elements from the alien caches to the remote
shared array.

The attached patch optimises d_find_alias() to only take the spinlock if
there's anything in the the inode's alias list. If there isn't, it returns
NULL immediately.
With respect to the superblock sharing patch, this should reduce by one the
number of times the dcache_lock is taken by nfs_lookup() for ordinary
directory lookups.
Only in the case where there's already a dentry for particular directory inode
(such as might happen when another mountpoint is rooted at that dentry) will
the lock then be taken the extra time.

According to the specification the timevals must be validated and an
errorcode -EINVAL returned in case the timevals are not in canonical form.
This check was never done in Linux.
The pre 2.6.16 code converted invalid timevals silently. Negative timeouts
were converted by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion to the maximum timeout.
hrtimers and the ktime_t operations expect timevals in canonical form.
Otherwise random results might happen on 32 bits machines due to the
optimized ktime_add/sub operations. Negative timeouts are treated as
already expired. This might break applications which work on pre 2.6.16.
To prevent random behaviour and API breakage the timevals are checked and
invalid timevals sanitized in a simliar way as the pre 2.6.16 code did.
Invalid timevals are reported with a per boot limited number of kernel
messages so applications which use this misfeature can be corrected.
After a grace period of one year the sanitizing should be replaced by a
correct validation check. This is also documented in
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
The validation and sanitizing is done inside do_setitimer so all callers
(sys_setitimer, compat_sys_setitimer, osf_setitimer) are catched.

alarm() calls the kernel with an unsigend int timeout in seconds. The
value is stored in the tv_sec field of a struct timeval to setup the
itimer. The tv_sec field of struct timeval is of type long, which causes
the tv_sec value to be negative on 32 bit machines if seconds > INT_MAX.
Before the hrtimer merge (pre 2.6.16) such a negative value was converted
to the maximum jiffies timeout by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion. It's
not clear whether this was intended or just happened to be done by the
timeval_to_jiffies code.
hrtimers expect a timeval in canonical form and treat a negative timeout as
already expired. This breaks the legitimate usage of alarm() with a
timeout value > INT_MAX seconds.
For 32 bit machines it is therefor necessary to limit the internal seconds
value to avoid API breakage. Instead of doing this in all implementations
of sys_alarm the duplicated sys_alarm code is moved into a common function
in itimer.c

Because of historic reasons, there are two separate directories with
V4L stuff. Most drivers are located at driver/media/video. However, some
code for USB Webcams were inserted under drivers/usb/media.
This makes difficult for module authors to know were things should be.
Also, makes Kconfig menu confusing for normal users.

When we get an ICMP need-to-frag message, the original TOS value in the
ICMP payload cannot be used as a key to look up the routes to update.
This is because the TOS field may have been modified by routers on the
way. Similarly, ip_rt_redirect should also ignore the TOS as the router
that gave us the message may have modified the TOS value.
The patch achieves this objective by aggregating entries with different
TOS values (but are otherwise identical) into the same bucket. This
makes it easy to update them at the same time when an ICMP message is
received.
In future we should use a twin-hashing scheme where teh aggregation
occurs at the entry level. That is, the TOS goes back into the hash
for normal lookups while ICMP lookups will end up with a node that
gives us a list that contains all other route entries that differ
only by TOS.

I was working on the ipip/xfrm problem and as usual I get side-tracked by
other problems.
As part of an attempt to change the IPv4 protocol handler calling
convention I found that SCTP violated the existing convention.
It's returning non-zero values after freeing the skb. This is doubly bad
as 1) the skb gets resubmitted; 2) the return value is interpreted as a
protocol number.
This patch changes those return values to zero.
IPv6 doesn't suffer from this problem because it uses a positive return
value as an indication for resubmission. So the only effect of this patch
there is to increment the IPSTATS_MIB_INDELIVERS counter which IMHO is
the right thing to do.

The netdev notifier call chain is currently unregistered without taking
any locks outside the notifier system. Because the notifier system itself
does not synchronise unregistration with respect to the calling of the
chain, we as its user need to do our own locking.
We are supposed to take the RTNL for all calls to netdev notifiers, so
taking the RTNL should be sufficient to protect it.
The registration path in dev.c already takes the RTNL so it's OK.

This patch causes the network interface to respond to P_Key change
events correctly. As a result, you'll see a child interface in the
"RUNNING" state (netif_carrier_on()) only when the corresponding P_Key
is configured by the SM. When SM removes a P_Key, the "RUNNING" state
will be disabled for the corresponding network interface. To
implement this, I added IB_EVENT_PKEY_CHANGE event handling. To
prevent flushing the device before the device is open by the "delay
open" mechanism, I added an additional device flag called
IPOIB_FLAG_INITIALIZED.
This also prevents the child network interface from trying to join to
multicast groups until the PKEY is configured. We used to get error
messages like:
ib0.f2f2: couldn't attach QP to multicast group ff12:401b:f2f2:0:0:0:ffff:ffff
in this case. To fix this, I just check IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP flag in
ipoib_set_mcast_list().

Since the SCSI midlayer is moving towards entirely getting rid of
commands with use_sg == 0, we should treat this case as an exception.
Therefore, change the IB SRP initiator to create a fake scatterlist
for these commands with sg_init_one(). This simplifies the flow of
DMA mapping and unmapping, since SRP can just use dma_map_sg() and
dma_unmap_sg() unconditionally, rather than having to choose between
the dma_{map,unmap}_sg() and dma_{map,unmap}_single() variants.
