I keep running upstream and mm kernels and the location of the slab

makes slabinfo check /sys/slab if /sys/kernel/slab is not there.  Makes

Linus Torvalds 1803f3389b Remove empty file remnants that were left in the tree by mistake
Noted by various people (Sam, Jeff, Roland..)

Commit 58b7983d15 intended to remove the
xfs "Makefile-linux-2.6" file, but it was mistakenly still left in the
tree as a empty file, and would cause git to correctly complain about a
tracked file being removed after a "make distclean" (which removes empty
files as garbage).

And the asm-x86/desc_64.h file was supposed to be removed by commit
c81c6ca45a, but instead stayed around
containing just a single newline.

Get rid of them both properly.

Tejun Heo 3326732570 libata: implement libata.force module parameter
This patch implements libata.force module parameter which can
selectively override ATA port, link and device configurations
including cable type, SATA PHY SPD limit, transfer mode and NCQ.

For example, you can say "use 1.5Gbps for all fan-out ports attached
to the second port but allow 3.0Gbps for the PMP device itself, oh,
the device attached to the third fan-out port chokes on NCQ and
shouldn't go over UDMA4" by the following.

Commit efcd9971 ("IPoIB/cm: Factor out ipoib_cm_free_rx_reap_list()")
introduced a bug in ipoib_cm_dev_stop() when the receive drain times
out.  In that case, the function moves all the pending rx stuff into a
private list but then calls ipoib_cm_free_rx_reap_list(), which
handles a different list.

Fix this by moving everything to the rx_reap_list that will actually
get freed up.

This fixes <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=906>.

Linus Torvalds 00e962c540 Revert "SLUB: Alternate fast paths using cmpxchg_local"
This reverts commit 1f84260c8c, which is
suspected to be the reason for some very occasional and hard-to-trigger
crashes that usually look related to memory allocation (mostly reported
in networking, but since that's generally the most common source of
shortlived allocations - and allocations in interrupt contexts - that in
itself is not a big clue).

See for example
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9973
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/278
etc.

One promising suspicion for what the root cause of bug is (which also
explains why it's so hard to trigger in practice) came from Eric
Dumazet:

   "I wonder how SLUB_FASTPATH is supposed to work, since it is affected
    by a classical ABA problem of lockless algo.

    cmpxchg_local(&c->freelist, object, object[c->offset]) can succeed,
    while an interrupt came (on this cpu), and several allocations were
    done, and one free was performed at the end of this interruption, so
    'object' was recycled.

    c->freelist can then contain the previous value (object), but
    object[c->offset] was changed by IRQ.

    We then put back in freelist an already allocated object."

but another reason for the revert is simply that everybody agrees that
this code was the main suspect just by virtue of the pattern of oopses.
