0fd5355470 [GFS2] Force unstuff of hidden quota inode
This patch forcibly unstuffs (if stuffed) the hidden quota inode at the
first availble opportunity. In any practical scenario the quota inode
won't be stuffed, so this is ok to do. Unstuffing the quota inode allows
us to ignore the case of a stuffed quota inode in gfs2_adjust_quota().

75be73a824 [GFS2] Ensure journal file cache is flushed after recovery
This is for bugzilla bug #248176: GFS2: invalid metadata block

Patches 1 thru 3 were accepted upstream, but there were problems
with 4 and 5.  Those issues have been resolved and now the recovery
tests are passing without errors.  This code has gone through
41 * 3 successful gfs2 recovery tests before it hit an
unrelated (openais) problem.  I'm continuing to test it.

This is a complete rewrite of patch 5 for bug #248176, written by
Steve Whitehouse.  This is referred to in the bugzilla record as
"new 6" and "a different solution".

The problem was that the journal inodes, although protected by
a glock, were not synched with the other nodes because they don't
use the inode glock synch operations (i.e. no "glops" were defined).
Therefore, journal recovery on a journal-recovering node were causing
the blocks to get out of sync with the node that was actually trying
to use that journal as it comes back up from a reboot.

There are two possible solutions: (1) To make the journals use the
normal inode glock sync operations, or (2) To make the journal
operations take effect immediately (i.e. no caching).  Although
option 1 works, it turns out to be a lot more code.  Steve opted
for option 2, which is much simpler and therefore less prone to
regression errors.

This is a complete rewrite of patch 4 for bug #248176.

Part of the problem was that inodes were being recycled
before their buffers were flushed to the journal logs.
Another problem was that the clone bitmaps were being
searched for deleted inodes to recycle, but only the
"real" bitmaps should be searched for that purpose.

0f8468c8be [GFS2] Detach buf data during in-place writeback
This is patch 5 of 5 for bug #248176

Metadata corruption was occurring because page references weren't
being removed in all cases.  I previously added a function called
detach_bufdata, but I discovered there already WAS a function out
there to do the job.  It's called gfs2_meta_cache_flush.  So I added

This is patch three of five for bug #248176.

The try_rgrp_unlink code in rgrp.c had an infinite loop.  This was
caused because the bitmap function rgblk_search can return a block
less than the "goal" block, in which case it was looping.  The fix is
to make it always march forward as needed.

87124e581b [GFS2] Fix two races relating to glock callbacks
One of the races relates to referencing a variable while not holding
its protecting spinlock. The patch simply moves the test inside the
spin lock. The other races occurs when a demote to unlocked request
occurs during the time a demote to shared request is already running.
This of course only happens in the case that the lock was in the
exclusive mode to start with. The patch adds a check to see if another
demote request has occurred in the mean time and if it has, then it
performs a second demote.

f708631ac7 [MIPS] Alchemy: Fix USB initialization.
This patch fixes a wrong ifdef in the board setup code, leading to the GPIO
pin not being pulled high, and thus the USB switch not being powered at all.

This finishes the rename of CONFIG_USB_OHCI to CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD, which
started in 2005 (before 2.6.12-rc2), then probably because things were
working anyway for most people got forgotten.

[Ralf: Paolo's original patch didn't fix the module case, Florian's patch
only fixed MTX1 etc. so this is a combined patch plus some cleanups.]

e2a57a8159 Correct Makefile rule for generating custom keymap

  make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
  make: *** [drivers] Error 2

This was caused by commit af8b128719, which
deleted a necessary colon from the Makefile rule that generates the keymap,
since that rule contains both a target and a target-pattern.  The following
patch puts the colon back:

a200ee182a mm: set_page_dirty_balance() vs ->page_mkwrite()
All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which
results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the
page is already found dirty.

This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting
balance_dirty_pages().  Not good (tm).

Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.

bf0b48dfc3 [IPv6]: Fix ICMPv6 redirect handling with target multicast address
When the ICMPv6 Target address is multicast, Linux processes the 
redirect instead of dropping it.  The problem is in this code in 
ndisc_redirect_rcv():

         if (ipv6_addr_equal(dest, target)) {
                 on_link = 1;
         } else if (!(ipv6_addr_type(target) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)) {
                 ND_PRINTK2(KERN_WARNING
                            "ICMPv6 Redirect: target address is not 
link-local.\n");
                 return;
         }

This second check will succeed if the Target address is, for example, 
FF02::1 because it has link-local scope.  Instead, it should be checking 
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section 
8.1:

       - The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
         redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
         Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).

I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's 
implied.

This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II 
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test 
suite - Neighbor Disovery suite test 206 (v6LC.2.3.6_G) had the 
multicast address in the Destination field instead of Target field, so 
we were passing the test.  This won't be the case anymore.

The patch below fixes this problem, and also fixes ndisc_send_redirect() 
to not send an invalid redirect with a multicast address in the Target 
field.  I re-ran the TAHI Neighbor Discovery section to make sure Linux 
passes all 245 tests now.

48611c47d0 [TCP]: Fix fastpath_cnt_hint when GSO skb is partially ACKed
When only GSO skb was partially ACKed, no hints are reset,
therefore fastpath_cnt_hint must be tweaked too or else it can
corrupt fackets_out. The corruption to occur, one must have
non-trivial ACK/SACK sequence, so this bug is not very often
that harmful. There's a fackets_out state reset in TCP because
fackets_out is known to be inaccurate and that fixes the issue
eventually anyway.

In case there was also at least one skb that got fully ACKed,
the fastpath_skb_hint is set to NULL which causes a recount for
fastpath_cnt_hint (the old value won't be accessed anymore),
thus it can safely be decremented without additional checking.

291041e935 fix bogus reporting of signals by audit
Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log.  As
it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission().
Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know
if it should apply current-based permission checks.  So the solution is to
move the call of audit_signal_info() between those.

Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g.
kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not
short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry
in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by
load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

52a2638bff Longhaul: add auto enabled "revid_errata" option
VIA C3 Ezra-T has RevisionID equal to 1, but it needs RevisionKey to be 0
or CPU will ignore new frequency and will continue to work at old
frequency.  New "revid_errata" option will force RevisionKey to be set to
0, whatever RevisionID is.

Additionaly "Longhaul" will not silently ignore unsuccessful transition.
It will try to check if "revid_errata" or "disable_acpi_c3" options need to
be enabled for this processor/system.

Same for Longhaul ver.  2 support.  It will be disabled if none of above
options will work.

 Best case scenario (with patch apllied and v2 enabled):
 longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra' [C5C] CPU detected.  Longhaul v2 supported.
 longhaul: Using northbridge support.
 longhaul: VRM 8.5
 longhaul: Max VID=1.350  Min VID=1.050, 13 possible voltage scales
 longhaul: f: 300000 kHz, index: 0, vid: 1050 mV
 [...]
 longhaul: Voltage scaling enabled.
 Worst case scenario:
 longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra-T' [C5M] CPU detected.  Powersaver supported.
 longhaul: Using northbridge support.
 longhaul: Using ACPI support.
 longhaul: VRM 8.5
 longhaul: Claims to support voltage scaling but min & max are both 1.250. Voltage scaling disabled
 longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
 longhaul: Enabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.
 longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
 longhaul: Disabling ACPI C3 support.
 longhaul: Disabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.
 longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
 longhaul: Enabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.

74922be148 Fix timer_stats printout of events/sec
When using /proc/timer_stats on ppc64 I noticed the events/sec field wasnt
accurate.  Sometimes the integer part was incorrect due to rounding (we
werent taking the fractional seconds into consideration).

The fraction part is also wrong, we need to pad the printf statement and
take the bottom three digits of 1000 times the value.

0c2043abef Don't do load-average calculations at even 5-second intervals
It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the
kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get
artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide.

So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick.

Noticed by Anders Boström, for whom the coincidence started triggering
on one of his machines with the JBD jiffies rounding code (JBD is one of
the subsystems that also end up using a 5-second timer by default).

70cb97935b VT_WAITACTIVE: Avoid returning EINTR when not necessary
We should generally prefer to return ERESTARTNOHAND rather than EINTR,
so that processes with unhandled signals that get ignored don't return
EINTR.

This can help with X startup issues:

    Fatal server error:
    xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call

although the real fix is having the X server always retry EINTR
regardless (since EINTR does happen for signals that have handlers
installed). Keithp has a patch for that.

Regardless, ERESTARTNOHAND is the correct thing to use.
