This patch moves page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c.

==
parse_args(). # we can trust mem_cgroup_subsys.disabled bit after this.
....
cgroup_init_early() # "early" init of cgroup.
....
setup_arch() # memmap is allocated.

page_cgroup_init();
mem_init(); # we cannot call alloc_bootmem after this.

cgroup_init() # mem_cgroup is initialized.

Before page_cgroup_init(), mem_map must be initialized. So,
I added page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c directly.
(*) maybe this is not very clean but
- cgroup_init_early() is too early
- in cgroup_init(), we have to use vmalloc instead of alloc_bootmem().
use of vmalloc area in x86-32 is important and we should avoid very large
vmalloc() in x86-32. So, we want to use alloc_bootmem() and added page_cgroup_init()
directly to init/main.c

jbd: abort instead of waiting for nonexistent transactions
The __log_wait_for_space function sits in a loop checkpointing
transactions until there is sufficient space free in the journal.
However, if there are no transactions to be processed (e.g. because the

never progress.
Check for space being required when no transactions are outstanding and
abort the journal instead of endlessly looping.

jbd: fix error handling for checkpoint io
When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD code doesn't check the error
and continue journaling. This means latest metadata can be lost from both
the journal and filesystem.
This patch leaves the failed metadata blocks in the journal space and
aborts journaling in the case of log_do_checkpoint(). To achieve this, we
need to do:
1. don't remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list where in
the case of __try_to_free_cp_buf() because it may be released or
overwritten by a later transaction
2. log_do_checkpoint() is the last chance, remove the failed buffer
from the checkpoint list and abort the journal
3. when checkpointing fails, don't update the journal super block to
prevent the journaled contents from being cleaned. For safety,
don't update j_tail and j_tail_sequence either
4. when checkpointing fails, notify this error to the ext3 layer so
that ext3 don't clear the needs_recovery flag, otherwise the
journaled contents are ignored and cleaned in the recovery phase
5. if the recovery fails, keep the needs_recovery flag
6. prevent cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between
__journal_drop_transaction() and journal_abort() (a race issue

The solution (for now at least) is to add a memory notifier to the

powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernel
This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can
use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234)
is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence
and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between
kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels.
The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in
head_64.S. During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it
is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel
will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the
address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter.
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump
kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and
kdump kernel.

Remove stop_machine during module load v2
Remove stop_machine during module load v2
module loading currently does a stop_machine on each module load to insert

It does that to handle concurrent lock lessmodule list readers

I don't think stop_machine() is actually needed to insert something
into a list though. There are no concurrent writers because the
module mutex is taken. And the RCU list functions know how to insert
a node into a list with the right memory ordering so that concurrent
readers don't go off into the wood.
So remove the stop_machine for the module list insert and just
do a list_add_rcu() instead.
Module removal will still do a stop_machine of course, it needs
that for other reasons.

rely on disabled preemption need to be changed to list_for_each_rcu().

dm crypt: fix async split
When writing io, dm-crypt has to allocate a new cloned bio
and encrypt the data into newly-allocated pages attached to this bio.
In rare cases, because of hw restrictions (e.g. physical segment limit)
or memory pressure, sometimes more than one cloned bio has to be used,
each processing a different fragment of the original.
Currently there is one waitqueue which waits for one fragment to finish
and continues processing the next fragment.
But when using asynchronous crypto this doesn't work, because several
fragments may be processed asynchronously or in parallel and there is
only one crypt context that cannot be shared between the bio fragments.
The result may be corruption of the data contained in the encrypted bio.
The patch fixes this by allocating new dm_crypt_io structs (with new
crypto contexts) and running them independently.
The fragments contains a pointer to the base dm_crypt_io struct to
handle reference counting, so the base one is properly deallocated
after all the fragments are finished.
In a low memory situation, this only uses one additional object from the
mempool. If the mempool is empty, the next allocation simple waits for
previous fragments to complete.

__origin_write does atomic_dec_and_test on primary_pe->ref_count without holding

This opens the following race condition:
Assume two CPUs, CPU1 is executing put_pending_exception (and holding

primary_pe->ref_count == 2.
CPU1:
if (primary_pe && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count))

if (primary_pe && !atomic_read(&primary_pe->ref_count))

This bug can happen only if someone is simultaneously writing to both the
origin and the snapshot.
If someone is writing only to the origin, __origin_write will submit kcopyd
request after it decrements primary_pe->ref_count (so it can't happen that the
finished copy races with primary_pe->ref_count decrementation).
If someone is writing only to the snapshot, __origin_write isn't invoked at all
and the race can't happen.
The race happens when someone writes to the snapshot --- this creates
pending_exception with primary_pe == NULL and starts copying. Then, someone
writes to the same chunk in the snapshot, and __origin_write races with
termination of already submitted request in pending_complete (that calls
put_pending_exception).
This race may be reason for bugs:

of magnitude slower than those to LV without snapshots or

tries to improve the performance by modifying the behaviour
of kcopyd, so that it pushes back an I/O job to the head of
the job queue instead of the tail as process_jobs() currently
does when it has to wait for free pages. This way, write
requests aren't shuffled to cause extra seeks.
I tested the patch against 2.6.27-rc5 and got the following results.
The test is a dd command writing to snapshot origin followed by fsync
to the file just created/updated. A couple of filesystem benchmarks
gave me similar results in case of sequential writes, while random
writes didn't suffer much.

V4L/DVB (9335): videobuf: split unregister bus creating self-contained frontend de-allocator
This creates a self contained frontend de-allocator
for the instances where an adapter has not been
registered yet frontend de-allocation may
be required.
V4L/DVB (9333): cx88: Not all boards that requires cx88-mpeg has frontends
The multifrontend changes on cx88 assumed that all boards that use cx88-mpeg
supports DVB. This is not true. There also a few analog-only boards based on
Blackboard design that also uses cx88-mpeg. For those boards, there's no need
to allocate dvb frontends.
This patch fixes videobuf allocation for those devices.
