This patch fixes a lockdep warning:
[ 516.287584] =========================================================
[ 516.288386] [ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
[ 516.288386] 2.6.35b #7
[ 516.288386] ---------------------------------------------------------
[ 516.288386] swapper/0 just changed the state of lock:
[ 516.288386] (&qdisc_tx_lock){+.-...}, at: [<c12eacda>] est_timer+0x62/0x1b4
[ 516.288386] but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
[ 516.288386] (est_tree_lock){+.+...}
[ 516.288386]
[ 516.288386] and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
...
So, est_tree_lock needs BH protection because it's taken by
qdisc_tx_lock, which is used both in BH and process contexts.
(Full warning with this patch at netdev, 02 Sep 2010.)

Currently on-disk structure is able to keep only 16bit project quota
id, so disallow 32bit ones. This fixes a problem where parts of
kernel structures holding project quota id are 32bit while parts
(on-disk) are 16bit variables which causes project quota member
files to be inaccessible for some operations (like mv/rm).

When doing large parallel file creates on a 16p machines, large amounts of
time is being spent in _xfs_buf_find(). A system wide profile with perf top
shows this:
1134740.00 19.3% _xfs_buf_find
733142.00 12.5% __ticket_spin_lock
The problem is that the hash contains 45,000 buffers, and the hash table width
is only 256 buffers. That means we've got around 200 buffers per chain, and
searching it is quite expensive. The hash table size needs to increase.
Secondly, every time we do a lookup, we promote the buffer we find to the head
of the hash chain. This is causing cachelines to be dirtied and causes
invalidation of cachelines across all CPUs that may have walked the hash chain
recently. hence every walk of the hash chain is effectively a cold cache walk.
Remove the promotion to avoid this invalidation.
The results are:
1045043.00 21.2% __ticket_spin_lock
326184.00 6.6% _xfs_buf_find
A 70% drop in the CPU usage when looking up buffers. Unfortunately that does
not result in an increase in performance underthis workload as contention on
the inode_lock soaks up most of the reduction in CPU usage.

Packets entering GRO might have different headrooms, even for a given
flow (because of implementation details in drivers, like copybreak).
We cant force drivers to deliver packets with a fixed headroom.
1) fix skb_segment()
skb_segment() makes the false assumption headrooms of fragments are same
than the head. When CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is used, this can give csum_start
errors, and crash later in skb_copy_and_csum_dev()
2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list
skb_gro_receive() uses netdev_alloc_skb(headroom + skb_gro_offset(p)) to
allocate a fresh skb. This adds NET_SKB_PAD to a padding already
provided by netdevice, depending on various things, like copybreak.
Use alloc_skb() to allocate an exact padding, to reduce cache line
needs:
NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN

However, this code was later moved to asic specific functions
for all of the affected asics. The only users of the original
code at this point were r600, rv770, and evergreen and the code
was not relevant for those asics. So, remove it.

vortex_ioctl() was grabbing vortex_private::lock around its call to
generic_mii_ioctl(). This is no longer necessary since there are more
specific locks which the mdio_{read,write}() functions will obtain.
Worse, those functions do not save and restore IRQ flags when locking
the MII state, so interrupts will be enabled when generic_mii_ioctl()
returns.
Since there is currently no need for any function to call
mdio_{read,write}() while holding another spinlock, do not change them
to save and restore IRQ flags but remove the specification of ordering
between vortex_private::lock and vortex_private::mii_lock.

The dlpar code can cause a deadlock to occur when making the RTAS
configure-connector call. This occurs because we make kmalloc calls,
which can block, while parsing the rtas_data_buf and holding the
rtas_data_buf_lock. This an cause issues if someone else attempts
to grab the rtas_data_bug_lock.
This patch alleviates this issue by copying the contents of the rtas_data_buf
to a local buffer before parsing. This allows us to only hold the
rtas_data_buf_lock around the RTAS configure-connector calls.

There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
What?
Don't cross the GRO streams.
Why?
It would be bad.
I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Try to imagine all the Internet as you know it stopping instantaneously
and every bit in every packet swapping at the speed of light.
Total packet reordering.
Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Hubert
The simplest way to stop this is just avoid doing GRO on the second port.
Very few Marvell boards support two ports per ring, and GRO is just
an optimization.

The 5 GHz CTL indexes were not being read for all hardware
devices due to the masking out through the CTL_MODE_M mask
being one bit too short. Without this the calibrated regulatory
maximum values were not being picked up when devices operate
on 5 GHz in HT40 mode. The final output power used for Atheros
devices is the minimum between the calibrated CTL values and
what CRDA provides.

In particular, it fails to a) release the hashbin attached to the

The original patch was only tested on bare metal system, so it never
caught this problem.
This changes __secondary_start so that we calculate the new stack
pointer but only start using it after we've called early_setup_secondary.
With this patch, the above problem goes away.

Commit 0fe1ac48 ("powerpc/perf_event: Fix oops due to
perf_event_do_pending call") moved the call to perf_event_do_pending
in timer_interrupt() down so that it was after the irq_enter() call.
Unfortunately this moved it after the code that checks whether it
is time for the next decrementer clock event. The result is that
the call to perf_event_do_pending() won't happen until the next
decrementer clock event is due. This was pointed out by Milton
Miller.
This fixes it by moving the check for whether it's time for the
next decrementer clock event down to the point where we're about
to call the event handler, after we've called perf_event_do_pending.
This has the side effect that on old pre-Core99 Powermacs where we
use the ppc_n_lost_interrupts mechanism to replay interrupts, a
replayed interrupt will incur a little more latency since it will
now do the code from the irq_enter down to the irq_exit, that it
used to skip. However, these machines are now old and rare enough
that this doesn't matter. To make it clear that ppc_n_lost_interrupts
is only used on Powermacs, and to speed up the code slightly on
non-Powermac ppc32 machines, the code that tests ppc_n_lost_interrupts
is now conditional on CONFIG_PMAC as well as CONFIG_PPC32.

Call kexec purgatory code correctly. We were getting lucky before.
If you examine the powerpc 32bit kexec "purgatory" code you will
see it expects the following:
>From kexec-tools: purgatory/arch/ppc/v2wrap_32.S
-> calling convention:
-> r3 = physical number of this cpu (all cpus)
-> r4 = address of this chunk (master only)
As such, we need to set r3 to the current core, r4 happens to be
unused by purgatory at the moment but we go ahead and set it
here as well

Wireless extensions have an unfortunate, undocumented
requirement which requires drivers to always fill
iwp->length when returning a successful status. When
a driver doesn't do this, it leads to a kernel heap
content leak when userspace offers a larger buffer
than would have been necessary.
Arguably, this is a driver bug, as it should, if it
returns 0, fill iwp->length, even if it separately
indicated that the buffer contents was not valid.
However, we can also at least avoid the memory content
leak if the driver doesn't do this by setting the iwp
length to max_tokens, which then reflects how big the
buffer is that the driver may fill, regardless of how
big the userspace buffer is.
To illustrate the point, this patch also fixes a
corresponding cfg80211 bug (since this requirement
isn't documented nor was ever pointed out by anyone
during code review, I don't trust all drivers nor
all cfg80211 handlers to implement it correctly).

The new workqueue changes helped me find this bug
that's been lingering since the changes to the work
processing in mac80211 -- the work timer is never
deleted properly. Do that to avoid having it fire
after all data structures have been freed. It can't
be re-armed because all it will do, if running, is
schedule the work, but that gets flushed later and
won't have anything to do since all work items are
gone by now (by way of interface removal).
