Marc Eshel 3134cbec5e locks.c: add the fl_owner to nlm_compare_locks
Add the fl_owner to NLM compare locks. Since two different client can
present the same pid to the server it is not enough to distinguish locks
from different clients. The fl_owner field is a pointer to the struct
nlm_host which is unique for each client.

Manoj Naik 6b97fd3da1 NFSv4: Follow a referral
Respond to a moved error on NFS lookup by setting up the referral.
Note: We don't actually follow the referral during lookup/getattr, but
later when we detect fsid mismatch in inode revalidation (similar to the
processing done for cloning submounts). Referrals will have fake attributes
until they are actually followed or traversed.

Trond Myklebust 683b57b435 NFSv4: Implement the fs_locations function call
NFSv4 allows for the fact that filesystems may be replicated across
several servers or that they may be migrated to a backup server in case of
failure of the primary server.
fs_locations is an NFSv4 operation for retrieving information about the
location of migrated and/or replicated filesystems.

Trond Myklebust bb4a58bf46 VFS: Add GPL_EXPORTED function vfs_kern_mount()
do_kern_mount() does not allow the kernel to use private mount interfaces
without exposing the same interfaces to userland. The problem is that the
filesystem is referenced by name, thus meaning that it and its mount
interface must be registered in the global filesystem list.

vfs_kern_mount() passes the struct file_system_type as an explicit
parameter in order to overcome this limitation.

Jens Axboe bc1c116974 [PATCH] elevator switching race
There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
invoked with bad or NULL data.

To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
run without the lock held.  This isn't easily fixable, without also
changing the mempool API.  So split the initialization into two parts,
and alloc-init operation and an attach operation.  Then we can
preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
inside the lock after we detach the old one.

This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching
with a very busy io load.

From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

Revert commit ff4da2e262.

It broke APM suspend, probably because APM doesn't switch back to a VT
when suspending.

Tracked down by Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>

Rafael sayeth:
  "It only fixed the theoretical issue that a quick-handed user could
   switch to X after processes have been frozen and before the devices
   are suspended.

   With the current userland suspend tools it shouldn't be necessary."

Bob Picco 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.

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
fixes it.

Mike Kravetz 39d24e6426 [PATCH] add slab_is_available() routine for boot code
slab_is_available() indicates slab based allocators are available for use.
SPARSEMEM code needs to know this as it can be called at various times
during the boot process.

Trent Piepho 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.

Heiko Carstens 986733e01d [PATCH] RCU: introduce rcu_needs_cpu() interface
With "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@us.ibm.com>

Introduce rcu_needs_cpu() interface.  This can be used to tell if there
will be a new rcu batch on a cpu soon by looking at the curlist pointer.
This can be used to avoid to enter a tickless idle state where the cpu
would miss that a new batch is ready when rcu_start_batch would be called
on a different cpu.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab cd41e28e2d V4L/DVB (3774): Create V4L1 config options
V4L1 API is depreciated and should be removed soon from kernel. This patch
adds two new options, one to disable V4L1 drivers, and another to disable
V4L1 compat module. This way, it would be easy to check what still depends
on V4L1 stuff, allowing also to test if app works fine with V4L2 only support.

Stephen Hemminger b17a7c179d [NET]: Do sysfs registration as part of register_netdevice.
The last step of netdevice registration was being done by a delayed
call, but because it was delayed, it was impossible to return any error
code if the class_device registration failed.

Side effects:
 * one state in registration process is unnecessary.
 * register_netdevice can sleep inside class_device registration/hotplug
 * code in netdev_run_todo only does unregistration so it is simpler.
