Kumar Gala 647422868e [PATCH] ppc32: Add support for handling PCI interrupts on MPC834x PCI expansion card
The MPC8349 PIBs system has a expansion board with 6 PCI slots.  We needed
to update the IDSEL interrupt mapping for it to work properly.  However,
only PCI1 is supported as the first revision of this expansion board
doesn't function properly for PCI2.  For the time being we have zero'd out
the entries for the IDSELs related to PCI2.  When a functioning expansion
board exists we can fix the table.

Nick Piggin 669ed17521 [PATCH] mm: highmem watermarks
The pages_high - pages_low and pages_low - pages_min deltas are the asynch
reclaim watermarks.  As such, the should be in the same ratios as any other
zone for highmem zones.  It is the pages_min - 0 delta which is the
PF_MEMALLOC reserve, and this is the region that isn't very useful for
highmem.

This patch ensures highmem systems have similar characteristics as non highmem
ones with the same amount of memory, and also that highmem zones get similar
reclaim pressures to other zones.

Robin Holt 51c6f666fc [PATCH] mm: ZAP_BLOCK causes redundant work
The address based work estimate for unmapping (for lockbreak) is and always
was horribly inefficient for sparse mappings.  The problem is most simply
explained with an example:

If we find a pgd is clear, we still have to call into unmap_page_range
PGDIR_SIZE / ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE times, each time checking the clear pgd, in
order to progress the working address to the next pgd.

The fundamental way to solve the problem is to keep track of the end
address we've processed and pass it back to the higher layers.

From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>

  Modification to completely get away from address based work estimate
  and instead use an abstract count, with a very small cost for empty
  entries as opposed to present pages.

  On 2.6.14-git2, ppc64, and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, mapping and unmapping 1TB
  of virtual address space takes 1.69s; with the following patch applied,
  this operation can be done 1000 times in less than 0.01s

From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

With CONFIG_HUTETLB_PAGE=n:

mm/memory.c: In function `unmap_vmas':
mm/memory.c:779: warning: division by zero

Due to

			zap_work -= (end - start) /
					(HPAGE_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE);

So make the dummy HPAGE_SIZE non-zero

                 page = buffered_rmqueue(z, order, gfp_mask);
                 if (page) {
                         zone_statistics(zonelist, z);

Eric Dumazet 95e861db3e [PATCH] reorder struct files_struct
The file_lock spinlock sits close to mostly read fields of 'struct
files_struct'

In SMP (and NUMA) environments, each time a thread wants to open or close
a file, it has to acquire the spinlock, thus invalidating the cache line
containing this spinlock on other CPUS.  So other threads doing
read()/write()/...  calls that use RCU to access the file table are going
to ask further memory (possibly NUMA) transactions to read again this
memory line.

Move the spinlock to another cache line, so that concurrent threads can
share the cache line containing 'count' and 'fdt' fields.

It's worth up to 9% on a microbenchmark using a 4-thread 2-package x86
machine.  See

 the lease, the code in locks_delete_lock() will correctly clean up
 the fasync queue, but when we return to fcntl_setlease(), the freed
 fasync entry will be reinstated.

 This patch ensures that we skip the call to fasync_helper() when we're

Christoph Hellwig 9ffb83bcc5 [SBUSFB]: implement ->compat_ioctl
This patch adds a new function, sbusfb_compat_ioctl() to
drivers/video/sbuslib.c and uses it as compat_ioctl in all sbus fb
drivers

This remove the last per-arch compat ioctl bits in
arch/sparc64/kernel/ioctl32.c so it would be nice if people could test
if this actually copiles and works and if yes apply it :)

We had similar problems with other ioctls where userspace did things
like that.  What we did there was to put the compat handler to generic
code.  The patch below does that, adding a big comment about what's
going on and removing the COMPAT_IOCTL entires for these on powerpc
that not only weren't ever useful but are duplicated now aswell.

Prakash Punnoor 44e6f84e35 [PATCH] fix b2c2 dvb undefined symbol
This fixes

  drivers/built-in.o: In function `flexcop_frontend_init':
  : undefined reference to `lgdt330x_attach'

[ Side note: I really dislike that dvb people want to include every
  possible frontend into the kernel - I only need the mt312 one for my
  Skystar2 card.  I'd highly appreciate it this would be made selectable
  again... ]

Tejun Heo 3beb207712 [BLOCK] elevator: elv_latter/former_request update
With generic dispatch queue update, implicit former/latter request
handling using rq->queuelist.prev/next doesn't work as expected
anymore.  Also, the only iosched dependent on this feature was
noop-iosched and it has been reimplemented to have its own
latter/former methods.  This patch removes implicit former/latter
handling.

Tejun Heo 5a7c47eefb [BLOCK] noop-iosched: reimplementation of request dispatching
The original implementation directly used dispatch queue.  As new
generic dispatch queue imposes stricter rules over ioscheds and
dispatch queue usage, this direct use becomes somewhat problematic.
This patch reimplements noop-iosched such that it complies to generic
iosched model better.  Request merging with q->last_merge and
rq->queuelist.prev/next work again now.
