6362e4d4ed [PATCH] Fix oops in invalidate_dquots()
When quota is being turned off we assumed that all the references to dquots
were already dropped.  That need not be true as inodes being deleted are
not on superblock's inodes list and hence we need not reach it when
removing quota references from inodes.  So invalidate_dquots() has to wait
for all the users of dquots (as quota is already marked as turned off, no
new references can be acquired and so this is bound to happen rather
early).  When we do this, we can also remove the iprune_sem locking as it
was protecting us against exactly the same problem when freeing inodes
icache memory.

0c9e63fd38 [PATCH] Shrinks sizeof(files_struct) and better layout
1) Reduce the size of (struct fdtable) to exactly 64 bytes on 32bits
   platforms, lowering kmalloc() allocated space by 50%.

2) Reduce the size of (files_struct), using a special 32 bits (or
   64bits) embedded_fd_set, instead of a 1024 bits fd_set for the
   close_on_exec_init and open_fds_init fields.  This save some ram (248
   bytes per task) as most tasks dont open more than 32 files.  D-Cache
   footprint for such tasks is also reduced to the minimum.

3) Reduce size of allocated fdset.  Currently two full pages are
   allocated, that is 32768 bits on x86 for example, and way too much.  The
   minimum is now L1_CACHE_BYTES.

UP and SMP should benefit from this patch, because most tasks will touch
only one cache line when open()/close() stdin/stdout/stderr (0/1/2),
(next_fd, close_on_exec_init, open_fds_init, fd_array[0 ..  2] being in the
same cache line)

d8733c2956 [PATCH] ext3_readdir: use generic readahead
Linus points out that ext3_readdir's readahead only cuts in when
ext3_readdir() is operating at the very start of the directory.  So for large
directories we end up performing no readahead at all and we suck.

So take it all out and use the core VM's page_cache_readahead().  This means
that ext3 directory reads will use all of readahead's dynamic sizing goop.

Note that we're using the directory's filp->f_ra to hold the readahead state,
but readahead is actually being performed against the underlying blockdev's
address_space.  Fortunately the readahead code is all set up to handle this.

Tested with printk.  It works.  I was struggling to find a real workload which
actually cared.

(The patch also exports page_cache_readahead() to GPL modules)

9b238205ba [PATCH] swsusp: add s2ram ioctl to userland interface
Add the SNAPSHOT_S2RAM ioctl to the snapshot device.

This ioctl allows a userland application to make the system (previously frozen
with the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl) enter the S3 state without freezing processes
and disabling nonboot CPUs for the second time.

This will allow us to implement the suspend-to-disk-and-RAM (STDR)
functionality in the userland suspend tools.

6e1819d615 [PATCH] swsusp: userland interface
This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp.

The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot
device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related
operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.
 Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a
selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which
sectors of the resume partition are available to them.

The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling
functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp.

The interface documentation is included in the patch.

The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will
be 10 (ie.  misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been
requested.

f577eb30af [PATCH] swsusp: low level interface
Introduce the low level interface that can be used for handling the
snapshot of the system memory by the in-kernel swap-writing/reading code of
swsusp and the userland interface code (to be introduced shortly).

Also change the way in which swsusp records the allocated swap pages and,
consequently, simplifies the in-kernel swap-writing/reading code (this is
necessary for the userland interface too).  To this end, it introduces two
helper functions in mm/swapfile.c, so that the swsusp code does not refer
directly to the swap internals.

42c059e04d [PATCH] i386 spinlocks: disable interrupts only if we enabled them
_raw_spin_lock_flags() is entered with interrupts disabled.  If it cannot
obtain a spinlock, it checks the flags that were passed and re-enables
interrupts before spinning if that's how the flags are set.  When the
spinlock might be available, it disables interrupts (even if they are
already disabled) before trying to get the lock.  Change that so interrupts
are only disabled if they have been enabled.  This costs nine bytes of
duplicated spinloop code.

Fastpath before patch:
        jle <keep looping>      not-taken conditional jump
        cli                     disable interrupts
        jmp <try for lock>      unconditional jump

Fastpath after patch, if interrupts were not enabled:
        jg <try for lock>       taken conditional branch

4ef0652a74 [PATCH] i386: cleanup after cpu_gdt_descr conversion to per-cpu data
With cpu_gdt_descr having been converted to per-CPU data, the old object
(in head.S) no longer needs to reserve space for each CPU's instance.  With
cpu_gdt_table not being used for CPU 0 anymore, it doesn't seem to need
page alignment (or if in fact there is a need for it to retain that
alignment, the whole object should go into .data.page_align).

I am of the opinion that the above changeset is incomplete, i.e.  it missed
converting some previous uses of user_mode to user_mode_vm.  While most of
them could be considered just cosmetical, at least the one in die_nmi
doesn't appear to be.

101f12af16 [PATCH] i386: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain callbacks
Registering a callback handler through register_die_notifier() is obviously
primarily intended for use by modules.  However, the way these currently
get called it is basically impossible for them to actually be used by
modules, as there is, on non-PAE configurationes, a good chance (the larger
the module, the better) for the system to crash as a result.

This is because the callback gets invoked

(a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation
    gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table
    entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and

(b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen,
    since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs,
    potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.

Besides the modular aspect, similar problems would even arise for in-
kernel consumers of the API if they touched ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed
memory inside their handlers.

99b7de3347 [PATCH] x86: early printk handling fixes
The history is that -mm kernels do not work for me for a few months
already.  The things started from crashing somewhere after starting init,
and for the last month - no boot at all, just "Uncompressing...  OK,
booting kernel", and silence.  Early console didn't work too.  With the
latest releases this degraded into an infinite stream of the "Unknown
interrupt or fault" messages.  So today my patience ran out and I started
to think how can I collect at least some info for the bug-report.  Attached
is the patch that allows to gather some valueable debug info on the problem
by making an early console more useable.  I can't properly test the patch,
as the kernel still doesn't boot, so I'll explain it in details in a hope
someone else can justify the intrusive changes.

arch_hooks.h: added prototypes for setup_early_printk() and early_printk().

setup.c: killed wrong setup_early_printk() prototype.  Moved
setup_early_printk() a bit earlier, as it was not "early enough" to cover
the bug I was fighting with.

early_printk.c: made it to start printing from the bottom of the screen,
otherwise the messages interfere with the ones of the boot-loader, so you
can't read them.
