[JFFS2] Don't pack on-medium structures, because GCC emits crappy code
If we use __attribute__((packed)), GCC will _also_ assume that the
structures aren't sensibly aligned, and it'll emit code to cope with
that instead of straight word load/save. This can be _very_ suboptimal
on architectures like ARM.
Ideally, we want an attribute which just tells GCC not to do any
padding, without the alignment side-effects. In the absense of that,
we'll just drop the 'packed' attribute and hope that everything stays as
it was (which to be fair is fairly much what we expect). And add some
paranoia checks in the initialisation code, which should be optimised
away completely in the normal case.

[JFFS2] Reduce excessive node count for syslog files.
We currently get fairly poor behaviour with files which get many short
writes, such as system logs. This is because we end up with many tiny
data nodes, and the rbtree gets massive. None of these nodes are
actually obsolete, so they are counted as 'clean' space. Eraseblocks can
be entirely full of these nodes (which are REF_NORMAL instead of
REF_PRISTINE), and still they count entirely towards 'used_size' and the
eraseblocks can sit on the clean_list for a long time without being
picked for GC.
One way to alleviate this in the long term is to account REF_NORMAL
space separately from REF_PRISTINE space, rather than counting them both
towards used_size. Then these eraseblocks can be picked for GC and the
offending nodes will be garbage collected.
The short-term fix, though -- which probably makes sense even if we do
eventually implement the above -- is to merge these nodes as they're
written. When we write the last byte in a page, write the _whole_ page.
This obsoletes the earlier nodes in the page _immediately_ and we don't
even need to wait for the garbage collection to do it.

After dwmw2 let me know it ought to be done, I rewrote the physmap map
driver to be a platform driver. I know zilch about the driver model,
so I probably botched it in some way, but I've done some tests on an
ixp23xx board which uses physmap, and it all seems to work.
In order to not break existing physmap users, I've added some compat
code that will instantiate a platform device iff CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN
is defined and != 0. Also, I've changed the default value for
CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN to zero, so that people who inadvertently
compile in physmap (or new, platform-style, users of physmap) don't get
burned.
This works pretty well -- the new physmap driver is a drop-in replacement
for the old one, and works on said ixp23xx board without any code changes
needed. (This should hold as long as users don't touch 'physmap_map'
directly.)
Once all physmap users have been converted to instantiate their own
platform devices, the compat code can go. (Or we decide that we can
change all the in-tree users at the same time, and never merge the
compat code.)

[PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cards
Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames
in new transmissions.
Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet
minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded. On Rhine I cards the data can
later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this
padding. This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra
bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this
buffer on to the network.
Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used.
Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made
here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that
an aligned buffer will definitely be used. This is to make the change
"obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if
necessary. There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are
only to the Rhine I code path.
The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident. Frames
shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a
separate host. I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual
log messages.

xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the
structure gets an extra 4 byte of padding at the end. On 32 bit
architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4
byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large.
The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by
which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace
was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by
accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other
architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to
the size and following offsets.

will also be decreased so that pageout() works properly.
This is a fix necessary for 2.6.17. Without this fix we may migrate dirty
pages for filesystems without migration functions. Filesystems may keep
pointers to dirty pages. Migration of dirty pages can result in the
filesystem keeping pointers to freed pages.
Unmapping is currently not be separated out from removing all the
references to a page and moving the mapping. Therefore try_to_unmap will
be called again in migrate_page() if the writeout is successful. However,
it wont do anything since the ptes are already removed.
The coming updates to the page migration code will restructure the code
so that this is no longer necessary.

[PATCH] uml: error handling fixes
Blairsorblade noticed some confusion between our use of a system
call's return value and errno. This patch fixes a number of related
bugs -
using errno instead of a return value
using a return value instead of errno
forgetting to negate a error return to get a positive error code

[PATCH] uml: update defconfig
Bring defconfig up to date.
Also disable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UBD_SYNC by default. By performing synchronous
I/O to the host, it slows things down, only protects against host crashes, and
can make a UML appear to hang while it waits for the host's disk.

The patch I submitted earlier to fix disabled LAPIC handling in ACPI was
mismerged for some reason I still don't quite understand. Parts of it was
applied to the wrong function.

[PATCH] md: Fix 'rdev->nr_pending' count when retrying barrier requests
When retrying a failed BIO_RW_BARRIER request, we need to keep the reference
in ->nr_pending over the whole retry. Currently, we only hold the reference
if the failed request is the *last* one to finish - which is silly, because it
would normally be the first to finish.
So move the rdev_dec_pending call up into the didn't-fail branch. As the rdev
isn't used in the later code, calling rdev_dec_pending earlier doesn't hurt.

[PATCH] pipe: enable atomic copying of pipe data to/from user space
The pipe ->map() method uses kmap() to virtually map the pages, which
is both slow and has known scalability issues on SMP. This patch enables
atomic copying of pipe pages, by pre-faulting data and using kmap_atomic()
instead.
lmbench bw_pipe and lat_pipe measurements agree this is a Good Thing. Here
are results from that on a UP machine with highmem (1.5GiB of RAM), running
first a UP kernel, SMP kernel, and SMP kernel patched.
