1ed8a2b3c5 console UTF-8 fixes (fix)
Recently my console UTF-8 patch went mainline.  Here is an additional patch
that fixes two nasty issues and improves a third one, namely:

1. My patch changed the behavior if a glyph is not found in the Unicode
   mapping table. Previously for Unicode values less than 256 or 512 the
   kernel tried to display the glyph from that position of the glyph table,
   which could lead to a different accented letter being displayed. I
   removed this fallback possibility and changed it to display the
   replacement symbol.

   As Behdad pointed out, some fonts (e.g. sun12x22 from the kbd package)
   lack Unicode mapping information, hence all you get is lots of question
   marks. Though theoretically it's actually a user-space bug (the font
   should be fixed), Behdad and I both believe that it'd be good to work
   around in the kernel by re-introducing the fallback solution for ASCII
   characters only. This sounds a quite reasonable decision, since all fonts
   ship the ASCII characters in the first 128 positions. This way users
   won't be surprised by lots of question marks just because s/he issued a
   not-so-perfectly parameterized setfont command. As this fallback is only
   re-introduced for code points below 128, you still won't see an accented
   letter replaced by another, but at least you'll always get the English
   letters right.

2. My patch introduced "question mark with inverted color attributes" as a
   last resort fallback glyph. Though it perfectly works on VGA console, on
   framebuffer you may end up with question marks that are highlighed but
   shouldn't be, and normal characters that are accidentally highlighed.
   This is caused by missing FLUSHes when changing the color attribute.

3. I've updated the table of double-width character based on Markus's
   updated version. Only ten new code poings (one interval) is added.

d5a3d32a04 ACPI: fix 2.6.20 SMP boot regression
Always disable/enable interrupts in the acpi idle routine,
even in the error path.

This is required as the 2.6.20 change in git commit d331e739f5ad2aaa9...
"Fix interrupt race in idle callback" expects the idle handler
to enable interrupt before returning.

There was a case in acpi idle routine, in which interrupt was not being
enabled before return, which caused the system to hang at bootup, while
enabling C-states on an SMP system.

The signature of the hang was that "processor.nocst"
was required to enable boot.

interoperability with implementations that might have tweaked

3ec7393a68 IPoIB/cm: Initialize RX before moving QP to RTR
Fix a crasher bug in IPoIB CM: once a QP is in the RTR state, a
receive completion (or even an asynchronous error) might be observed
on this QP, so we have to initialize all of our receive data
structures before moving to the RTR state.

As an optimization (since modify_qp might take a long time), the
jiffies update done when moving RX to the passive_ids list is also
left in place to reduce the chance of the RX being misdetected as
stale.

This fixes bug <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662>.

24bce50803 IB/umem: Fix possible hang on process exit
If ib_umem_release() is called after ib_uverbs_close() sets context->closing,
then a process can get stuck in a D state, because the code boils down to

	if (down_write_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem))
		down_write(&mm->mmap_sem);

which is obviously a stupid instant deadlock.  Fix the code so that we
only try to take the lock once.

This bug was introduced in commit f7c6a7b5 ("IB/uverbs: Export

made it into a release, and was reported by Pete Wyckoff <pw@osc.edu>.

374abf2cb1 pata_it821x: (partially) fix DMA in RAID mode
Code intended to check DMA status was checking DMA command register.

Moreover firmware seems to "forget" to set DMA capable bit for the
slave device (at least in RAID mode but without ITE RAID volumes) so
check device ID for DMA capable bit when deciding whether to use DMA
and remove DMA status check completely.

Thanks to Pavol Simo for the bugreport and testing the initial fix.

This change unfortunately still doesn't fix DMA in RAID mode (which
works fine with IDE it821x) but Alan is working on the missing pieces
(pata_it821x vs libata EH issues).

4c4bd5a97a spidernet: Cure RX ram full bug
This patch fixes a rare deadlock that can occur when the kernel
is not able to empty out the RX ring quickly enough. Below follows
a detailed description of the bug and the fix.

As long as the OS can empty out the RX buffers at a rate faster than
the hardware can fill them, there is no problem. If, for some reason,
the OS fails to empty the RX ring fast enough, the hardware GDACTDPA
pointer will catch up to the head, notice the not-empty condition,
ad stop. However, RX packets may still continue arriving on the wire.
The spidernet chip can save some limited number of these in local RAM.
When this local ram fills up, the spider chip will issue an interrupt
indicating this (GHIINT0STS will show ERRINT, and the GRMFLLINT bit
will be set in GHIINT1STS).  When te RX ram full condition occurs,
a certain bug/feature is triggered that has to be specially handled.
This section describes the special handling for this condition.

When the OS finally has a chance to run, it will empty out the RX ring.
In particular, it will clear the descriptor on which the hardware had
stopped. However, once the hardware has decided that a certain
descriptor is invalid, it will not restart at that descriptor; instead
it will restart at the next descr. This potentially will lead to a
deadlock condition, as the tail pointer will be pointing at this descr,
which, from the OS point of view, is empty; the OS will be waiting for
this descr to be filled. However, the hardware has skipped this descr,
and is filling the next descrs. Since the OS doesn't see this, there
is a potential deadlock, with the OS waiting for one descr to fill,
while the hardware is waiting for a differen set of descrs to become
empty.

A call to show_rx_chain() at this point indicates the nature of the
problem. A typical print when the network is hung shows the following:

net eth1: Spider RX RAM full, incoming packets might be discarded!
net eth1: Total number of descrs=256
net eth1: Chain tail located at descr=255
net eth1: Chain head is at 255
net eth1: HW curr desc (GDACTDPA) is at 0
net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000
net eth1: HW next desc (GDACNEXTDA) is at 1
net eth1: Have 127 descrs with stat=x40800101
net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=x40800001
net eth1: Have 126 descrs with stat=x40800101
net eth1: Last 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000

Both the tail and head pointers are pointing at descr 255, which is
marked xa... which is "empty". Thus, from the OS point of view, there
is nothing to be done. In particular, there is the implicit assumption
that everything in front of the "empty" descr must surely also be empty,
as explained in the last section. The OS is waiting for descr 255 to
become non-empty, which, in this case, will never happen.

The HW pointer is at descr 0. This descr is marked 0x4.. or "full".
Since its already full, the hardware can do nothing more, and thus has
halted processing. Notice that descrs 0 through 254 are all marked
"full", while descr 254 and 255 are empty. (The "Last 1 descrs" is
descr 254, since tail was at 255.) Thus, the system is deadlocked,
and there can be no forward progress; the OS thinks there's nothing
to do, and the hardware has nowhere to put incoming data.

This bug/feature is worked around with the spider_net_resync_head_ptr()
routine. When the driver receives RX interrupts, but an examination
of the RX chain seems to show it is empty, then it is probable that
the hardware has skipped a descr or two (sometimes dozens under heavy
network conditions). The spider_net_resync_head_ptr() subroutine will
search the ring for the next full descr, and the driver will resume
operations there.  Since this will leave "holes" in the ring, there
is also a spider_net_resync_tail_ptr() that will skip over such holes.

83d35145c4 spidernet: null out skb pointer after its been used.
Avoid kernel crash in mm/slab.c due to double-free of pointer.

If the ethernet interface is brought down while there is still
RX traffic in flight, the device shutdown routine can end up
trying to double-free an skb, leading to a crash in mm/slab.c
Avoid the double-free by nulling out the skb pointer.
