The following changes were needed:
- do not use in_interrupt() because it will not work
with threaded interrupts
In addition, the following improvements were made:
- ensure DMA is unmapped only after the final DMA interrupt
- ensure a request is completed only after the final DMA interrupt
- disable controller interrupts when a request is not in progress
- remove the spin-lock protecting the start of a new request from
an unexpected interrupt because the locking was complicated and
a 'req_in_progress' flag suffices (since the spin-lock only defers
the unexpected interrupts anyway)
- instead use the spin-lock to protect the MMC interrupt handler
from the DMA interrupt handler
- remove the semaphore preventing DMA from being started while
the previous DMA is still in progress - the other changes make that
impossible, so it is now a BUG_ON condition
- ensure the controller interrupt status is clear before exiting
the interrrupt handler
In general, these changes make the code safer but do not fix any specific
bugs so backporting is not necessary.

The s3c6410 sdhci controller does not support the 'End' attribute and NOP
attribute in the same 8-Byte ADMA descriptor. This patch adds a new quirk
to identify sdhci host contollers with such behaviour. In addition to
this, for controllers using the new quirk, the last entry in the ADMA
descritor table is marked with the 'End' attribute (instead of using a NOP
descriptor with 'End' attribute).

Atmel-mci support for SDIO interrupts. This adds the enable_sdio_irq()
function and the configuration of sdio irq mask per slot. With this irq
mask information, we keep the idea of multiple slot per sd/mmc host (not

On some platforms like DM355, the number of EDMA parameter slots available
for EDMA_SLOT_ANY usage are few. In such cases, if MMC/SD uses 16 slots
for each instance of MMC controller, then the number of slots available
for other modules will be very few.
By passing the number of EDMA slots to be used in MMC driver from platform
data, EDMA slots available for other purposes can be controlled.
Most of the platforms will not use this platform data variable. But on
DM355, as the number of EDMA resources available is limited, the number of
scatter- gather segments used inside the MMC driver can be 8 (passed as
platform data) instead of 16. On DM355, when the number of scatter-gather
segments was reduced to 8, I saw a performance difference of about
0.25-0.4 Mbytes/sec during write. Read performance variations were
negligible.

I/O errors can happen due to temporary failures, like multipath

of that, the VM will retry readpage on the page.
However, do_generic_file_read does not clear PG_error. This
causes the system to be unable to actually use the data in the
page cache page, even if the subsequent readpage completes
successfully!
The function filemap_fault has had a ClearPageError before
readpage forever. This patch simply adds the same to
do_generic_file_read.

This adds:
alias: devname:<name>
to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading
of the kernel module when the device node is accessed.
Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too
much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common
cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty
useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts.
The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The
program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory:
$ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname
# Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
fuse fuse c10:229
ppp_generic ppp c108:0
tun net/tun c10:200
dm_mod mapper/control c10:235
Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the
static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules
get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed:
$ /sbin/udevd --debug
...
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235
udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666
udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666
A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow
the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run
a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor
numbers.
Note:
The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance*
device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited
systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a
control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of
device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.
This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)
