Btrfs: make sure btrfs_update_delayed_ref doesn't increase ref_mod
btrfs_update_delayed_ref is optimized to add and remove different
references in one pass through the delayed ref tree. It is a zero
sum on the total number of refs on a given extent.
But, the code was recording an extra ref in the head node. This
never made it down to the disk but was used when deciding if it was
safe to free the extent while dropping snapshots.
The fix used here is to make sure the ref_mod count is unchanged
on the head ref when btrfs_update_delayed_ref is called.

Btrfs: optimize fsyncs on old files
The fsync log has code to make sure all of the parents of a file are in the
log along with the file. It uses a minimal log of the parent directory
inodes, just enough to get the parent directory on disk.
If the transaction that originally created a file is fully on disk,
and the file hasn't been renamed or linked into other directories, we
can safely skip the parent directory walk. We know the file is on disk
somewhere and we can go ahead and just log that single file.
This is more important now because unrelated unlinks in the parent directory
might make us force a commit if we try to log the parent.

Btrfs: tree logging unlink/rename fixes
The tree logging code allows individual files or directories to be logged
without including operations on other files and directories in the FS.
It tries to commit the minimal set of changes to disk in order to
fsync the single file or directory that was sent to fsync or O_SYNC.
The tree logging code was allowing files and directories to be unlinked
if they were part of a rename operation where only one directory
in the rename was in the fsync log. This patch adds a few new rules
to the tree logging.
1) on rename or unlink, if the inode being unlinked isn't in the fsync
log, we must force a full commit before doing an fsync of the directory
where the unlink was done. The commit isn't done during the unlink,
but it is forced the next time we try to log the parent directory.
Solution: record transid of last unlink/rename per directory when the
directory wasn't already logged. For renames this is only done when
renaming to a different directory.
The fsync above will unlink the original some_dir without recording
it in its new location (foo2). After a crash, some_dir will be gone
unless the fsync of some_file forces a full commit
2) we must log any new names for any file or dir that is in the fsync
log. This way we make sure not to lose files that are unlinked during
the same transaction.
2a) we must log any new names for any file or dir during rename
when the directory they are being removed from was logged.
2a is actually the more important variant. Without the extra logging
a crash might unlink the old name without recreating the new one
3) after a crash, we must go through any directories with a link count
of zero and redo the rm -rf
mkdir f1/foo
normal commit
rm -rf f1/foo
fsync(f1)
The directory f1 was fully removed from the FS, but fsync was never
called on f1, only its parent dir. After a crash the rm -rf must
be replayed. This must be able to recurse down the entire
directory tree. The inode link count fixup code takes care of the
ugly details.

Btrfs: Make sure i_nlink doesn't hit zero too soon during log replay
During log replay, inodes are copied from the log to the main filesystem
btrees. Sometimes they have a zero link count in the log but they actually
gain links during the replay or have some in the main btree.
This patch updates the link count to be at least one after copying the

Btrfs: do extent allocation and reference count updates in the background
The extent allocation tree maintains a reference count and full
back reference information for every extent allocated in the
filesystem. For subvolume and snapshot trees, every time
a block goes through COW, the new copy of the block adds a reference
on every block it points to.
If a btree node points to 150 leaves, then the COW code needs to go
and add backrefs on 150 different extents, which might be spread all
over the extent allocation tree.
These updates currently happen during btrfs_cow_block, and most COWs
happen during btrfs_search_slot. btrfs_search_slot has locks held
on both the parent and the node we are COWing, and so we really want
to avoid IO during the COW if we can.
This commit adds an rbtree of pending reference count updates and extent
allocations. The tree is ordered by byte number of the extent and byte number
of the parent for the back reference. The tree allows us to:
1) Modify back references in something close to disk order, reducing seeks
2) Significantly reduce the number of modifications made as block pointers
are balanced around
3) Do all of the extent insertion and back reference modifications outside
of the performance critical btrfs_search_slot code.
#3 has the added benefit of greatly reducing the btrfs stack footprint.
The extent allocation tree modifications are done without the deep
(and somewhat recursive) call chains used in the past.
These delayed back reference updates must be done before the transaction
commits, and so the rbtree is tied to the transaction. Throttling is
implemented to help keep the queue of backrefs at a reasonable size.
Since there was a similar mechanism in place for the extent tree
extents, that is removed and replaced by the delayed reference tree.

fix ptrace slowness
This patch fixes bug #12208:
Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208
Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host
This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.
The problem is this:
- task A is ptracing task B
- task B stops on a trace event
- task A is woken up and preempts task B
- task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
- this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
- task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
- ...
Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.
This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.

kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets

smsc911x: reset last known duplex and carrier on open
smsc911x_phy_adjust_link is called periodically by the phy layer (as
it's run in polling mode), and it only updates the hardware when it sees
a change in duplex or carrier. This patch clears the last known values
every time the interface is brought up, instead of only when the module
is loaded.
Without this patch the adjust_link function never updates the hardware
after an ifconfig down; ifconfig up. On a full duplex link this causes
the tx error counter to increment, even though packets are correctly
transmitted, as the default MAC_CR register setting is for half duplex.
The tx errors are "no carrier" errors, which should be ignored in
full-duplex mode. When MAC_CR is set to "full duplex" mode they are
correctly ignored by the hardware.
Note that even with this patch the tx error counter can increment if

tulip: fix crash on iface up with shirq debug
Tulip is currently doing request_irq before it has done its
initialization. This is usually not a problem because it hasn't
enable interrupts yet, but with DEBUG_SHIRQ on, we call the irq handler
when registering the interrupt as a sanity check.
This can result in a NULL ptr dereference, so call tulip_init_ring
before request_irq, and add a free_ring function to do the freeing
now shared with tulip_close.
Tested with a shell loop running ifup, ifdown in a loop a few hundred
times with DEBUG_SHIRQ on.

virtio_net: Make virtio_net support carrier detection
Impact: Make NetworkManager work with virtio_net
For now the semantics are simple: There is always carrier.
This allows a seamless experience with e.g., qemu/kvm
where NetworkManager just configures and sets up
everything automagically.
If/when a generally agreed-upon way to control
carrier on/off in the emulator/hypervisor level
emerges, it will be trivial to extend the driver
to support that too, but for now even this 2-liner
makes user experience that much better.

The un-refactored code checked the link speed and duplex of
every slave on every pass; the refactored code did not do so.
The 802.3ad and balance-alb/tlb modes utilize the speed and
duplex information, and require it to be kept up to date. This patch
adds a notifier check to perform the appropriate updating when the slave
device speed changes.

bnx2: Fix problem of using wrong IRQ handler.
The MSI-X handler was chosen before the call to pci_enable_msix().
If MSI-X was not available, the wrong MSI-X handler would be used in
INTA mode. This would cause a screaming interrupt problem because
INTA would not be cleared by the MSI-X handler.
Fixed by assigning MSI-X handler after pci_enable_msix() returns
successfully. Also update version to 1.9.3.

Make page table walking on s390 more robust. The current code requires
that the pgd/pud/pmd/pte loop is only done for address ranges that are
below the end address of the last vma of the address space. But this
is not always true, e.g. the generic page table walker does not guarantee
this. Change TASK_SIZE/TASK_SIZE_OF to reflect the current size of the
address space. This makes the generic page table walker happy but it
breaks the upgrade of a 3 level page table to a 4 level page table.
To make the upgrade work again another fix is required.
