Do not include linux/backing-dev.h twice

Don't include linux/backing-dev.h twice in mm/filemap.c, it's pointless. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

alpha: fix iommu-related boot panic

2008-03-09T17:05:15+00:00

This fixes a boot panic due to a typo in the recent iommu patchset from FUJITA Tomonori - the code used dma_get_max_seg_size() instead of dma_get_seg_boundary(). It also removes a couple of unnecessary BUG_ON() and ALIGN() macros. Signed-off-by: Ivan Kokshaysky Reported-and-tested-by: Bob Tracy Acked-by: FUJITA Tomonori Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

cpu hotplug: adjust root-domain->online span in response to hotplug event

2008-03-09T17:05:14+00:00

We currently set the root-domain online span automatically when the domain is added to the cpu if the cpu is already a member of cpu_online_map. This was done as a hack/bug-fix for s2ram, but it also causes a problem with hotplug CPU_DOWN transitioning. The right way to fix the original problem is to actually respond to CPU_UP events, instead of CPU_ONLINE, which is already too late. This solves the hung reboot regression reported by Andrew Morton and others. Signed-off-by: Gregory Haskins Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

time: remove obsolete CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST

2008-03-09T07:42:57+00:00

The first version of the ntp_interval/tick_length inconsistent usage patch was recently merged as bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405 http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bbe4d18ac2e058c56adb0cd71f49d9ed3216a405 While the fix did greatly improve the situation, it was correctly pointed out by Roman that it does have a small bug: If the users change clocksources after the system has been running and NTP has made corrections, the correctoins made against the old clocksource will be applied against the new clocksource, causing error. The second attempt, which corrects the issue in the NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH definition has also made it up-stream as commit e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84 http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84 Roman has correctly pointed out that CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST is calculated based on the PIT's frequency, and isn't really relevant to non-PIT driven clocksources (that is, clocksources other then jiffies and pit). This patch reverts both of those changes, and simply removes CLOCK_TICK_ADJUST. This does remove the granularity error correction for users of PIT and Jiffies clocksource users, but the granularity error but for the majority of users, it should be within the 500ppm range NTP can accommodate for. For systems that have granularity errors greater then 500ppm, the "ntp_tick_adj=" boot option can be used to compensate.

ntp: use unsigned input for do_div()

2008-03-09T07:42:57+00:00

The kernel NTP code shouldn't hand 64-bit *signed* values to do_div(). Make it instead hand 64-bit unsigned values. This gets rid of a couple of warnings. Signed-off-by: David Howells Cc: Roman Zippel Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: john stultz Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner
