Instead of causing umount requests to block on server->active_wq while the
asynchronous sillyrename deletes are executing, we can use the sb->s_active
counter to obtain a reference to the super_block, and then release that
reference in nfs_async_unlink_release().
After the BKL removal patches were applied to the rest of the NFS code, the
BKL protection in nfs_file_llseek() is no longer sufficient to ensure that
inode->i_size is read safely in generic_file_llseek_unlocked().
In order to fix the situation, we either have to replace the naked read of
inode->i_size in generic_file_llseek_unlocked() with i_size_read(), or the
whole thing needs to be executed under the inode->i_lock;
In order to avoid disrupting other filesystems, avoid touching
generic_file_llseek_unlocked() for now...

atmel-mci: Initialize BLKR before sending data transfer command
The atmel-mci driver sometimes fails data transfers like this:
mmcblk0: error -5 transferring data
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749769
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749777
It turns out that this might be caused by the BLKR register (which
contains the block size and the number of blocks being transfered) being
initialized too late. This patch moves the initialization of BLKR so
that it contains the correct value before the block transfer command is
sent.
This error is difficult to reproduce, but if you insert a long delay
(mdelay(10) or thereabouts) between the calls to atmci_start_command()
and atmci_submit_data(), all transfers seem to fail without this patch,
while I haven't seen any failures with this patch.

x86 ACPI: Blacklist two HP machines with buggy BIOSes
There is a bug in the BIOSes of some HP boxes with AMD Turions which
connects IO-APIC pins with ACPI thermal trip points in such a way that
if the state of the IO-APIC is not as expected by the (buggy) BIOS, the
thermal trip points are set to insanely low values (usually all of them
become 16 degrees Celsius). As a result, thermal throttling kicks in
and knock the system down to its shoes.
Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up.
To prevent this from happening, blacklist machines that are known to be
affected (nx6115 and 6715b in this particular case).
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516 listed as

x86 setup: correct segfault in generation of 32-bit reloc kernel
Impact: segfault on build of a 32-bit relocatable kernel
When converting arch/x86/boot/compressed/relocs.c to support unlimited
sections, the computation of sym_strtab in walk_relocs() was done
incorrectly. This causes a segfault for some people when building the
relocatable 32-bit kernel.

[S390] nohz: Fix __udelay.
This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857cc576ae53c92a66e63fce7ddcfa74691
("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits.").
If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator
to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens
the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition
doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop.
In addition this patch fixes also the following:
rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy,
since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution:
To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt
is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded.
Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets.

e1000e: Fix incorrect debug warning
Doing 'WARN_ON(preempt_count())' was horribly horribly wrong, and would
cause tons of warnings at bootup if PREEMPT was enabled because the
initcalls currently run with the kernel lock, which increments the
preempt count.
At the same time, the warning was also insufficient, since it didn't
check that interrupts were enabled.
The proper debug function to use for something that can sleep and wants
a warning if it's called in the wrong context is 'might_sleep()'.

Check mapped ranges on sysfs resource files
This is loosely based on a patch by Jesse Barnes to check the user-space
PCI mappings though the sysfs interfaces. Quoting Jesse's original
explanation:
It's fairly common for applications to map PCI resources through sysfs.
However, with the current implementation, it's possible for an application
to map far more than the range corresponding to the resourceN file it
opened. This patch plugs that hole by checking the range at mmap time,
similar to what is done on platforms like sparc64 in their lower level
PCI remapping routines.
It was initially put together to help debug the e1000e NVRAM corruption
problem, since we initially thought an X driver might be walking past the
end of one of its mappings and clobbering the NVRAM. It now looks like
that's not the case, but doing the check is still important for obvious
reasons.
and this version of the patch differs in that it uses a helper function
to clarify the code, and does all the checks in pages (instead of bytes)
in order to avoid overflows when doing "<< PAGE_SHIFT" etc.
thanks to tglx, we're finding some interesting reentrancy issues.
this patch removes the phy read from inside a spinlock, paving
the way for removing the spinlock completely. The phy read was
only feeding a statistic that wasn't used.
e1000e was apparently calling two functions that attempted to reserve
the SWFLAG bit for exclusive (to hardware and firmware) access to
the PHY and NVM (aka eeprom). These accesses could possibly call
msleep to wait for the resource which is not allowed from interrupt
context.

by the driver after reset, and the swflag is probably not reset unless

mm: handle initialising compound pages at orders greater than MAX_ORDER
When we initialise a compound page we initialise the page flags and head
page pointer for all base pages spanned by that page. When we initialise
a gigantic page (a page of order greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER) we
have to initialise more than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages. Currently we
assume that all elements of the mem_map in this page are contigious in
memory. However this is only guarenteed out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages,
and with SPARSEMEM enabled they will not be contigious. This leads us to
walk off the end of the first section and scribble on everything which
follows, BAD.
When we reach a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary we much locate the next
section of the mem_map. As gigantic pages can only be maximally aligned
we know this will occur at exact multiple of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages from
the start of the page.
This is a bug fix for the gigantic page support in hugetlbfs.

MN10300: Fix IRQ handling
Fix the IRQ handling on the MN10300 arch.
This patch makes a number of significant changes:
(1) It separates the irq_chip definition for edge-triggered interrupts from
the one for level-triggered interrupts.
This is necessary because the MN10300 PIC latches the IRQ channel's
interrupt request bit (GxICR_REQUEST), even after the device has ceased to
assert its interrupt line and the interrupt channel has been disabled in
the PIC. So for level-triggered interrupts we need to clear this bit when
we re-enable - which is achieved by setting GxICR_DETECT but not
GxICR_REQUEST when writing to the register.
Not doing this results in spurious interrupts occurring because calling
mask_ack() at the start of handle_level_irq() is insufficient - it fails
to clear the REQUEST latch because the device that caused the interrupt is
still asserting its interrupt line at this point.
(2) IRQ disablement [irq_chip::disable_irq()] shouldn't clear the interrupt
request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.
(3) IRQ unmasking [irq_chip::unmask_irq()] also shouldn't clear the interrupt
request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.
(4) The end() operation is now left to the default (no-operation) as
__do_IRQ() is compiled out. This may affect misrouted_irq(), but
according to Thomas Gleixner it's the correct thing to do.
(5) handle_level_irq() is used for edge-triggered interrupts rather than
handle_edge_irq() as the MN10300 PIC latches interrupt events even on
masked IRQ channels, thus rendering IRQ_PENDING unnecessary. It is
sufficient to call mask_ack() at the start and unmask() at the end.
(6) For level-triggered interrupts, ack() is now NULL as it's not used, and
there is no effective ACK function on the PIC. mask_ack() is now the
same as mask() as the latch continues to latch, even when the channel is
masked.
Further, the patch discards the disable() op implementation as its now the same
as the mask() op implementation, which is used instead.
It also discards the enable() op implementations as they're now the same as
the unmask() op implementations, which are used instead.

Moving the path activation to workqueue along with scsi_dh patches introduced
a race. It is due to the fact that the current_pgpath (in the multipath data
structure) can be modified if changes happen in any of the paths leading to
the lun. If the changes lead to current_pgpath being set to NULL, then it
leads to the invalid access which results in the panic below.
This patch fixes that by storing the pgpath to activate in the multipath data
structure and properly protecting it.
Note that if activate_path is called twice in succession with different pgpath,
with the second one being called before the first one is done, then activate
path will be called twice for the second pgpath, which is fine.
