I get the following error from 'make modules_install' on my test boxes:
HOSTCC firmware/ihex2fw
/home/rafael/src/linux-2.6/firmware/ihex2fw.c:268: fatal error: opening dependency file firmware/.ihex2fw.d: Read-only file system
compilation terminated.
make[3]: *** [firmware/ihex2fw] Error 1
make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
where the configuration is that the kernel is compiled on a build box
with 'make O=<destdir> -j5' and then <destdir> is mounted over NFS read-only by
each test box (full path to this directory is the same on the build box and on
the test boxes). Then, I cd into <destdir>, run 'make modules_install' and get
the error above.
The issue turns out to be that we when we install firmware pick
up the list of firmware blobs from firmware/Makefile.
And this triggers the Makefile rules to update ihex2fw.
There were two solutions for this issue:
1) Move the list of firmware blobs to a separate file
2) Avoid ihex2fw rebuild by moving it to scripts
As I seriously beleive that the list of firmware blobs should be
done in a fundamental different way solution 2) was selected.

A number of nfsd operations depend on the i_mutex to cover more code
than just the fsync, so the approach of 4c728ef583 "add a vfs_fsync
helper" doesn't work for nfsd. Revert the parts of those patches that
touch nfsd.
Note: we can't, however, remove the logic from vfs_fsync that was needed
only for the special case of nfsd, because a vfs_fsync(NULL,...) call
can still result indirectly from a stackable filesystem that was called
by nfsd. (Thanks to Christoph Hellwig for pointing this out.)

The rqstp structure has a pointer to a svc_deferred_req record
that is allocated when requests are deferred. This record is common
to all transports and can be freed in common code.
Move the kfree of the rq_deferred to the common svc_xprt_release
function.
This also fixes a memory leak in the RDMA transport which does not
kfree the dr structure in it's version of the xpo_release_rqst callback.

Fix a regression in NFSD's permission checking introduced by the credentials
patches. There are two parts to the problem, both in nfsd_setuser():
(1) The return value of set_groups() is -ve if in error, not 0, and should be
checked appropriately. 0 indicates success.
(2) The UID to use for fs accesses is in new->fsuid, not new->uid (which is
0). This causes CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE to always be set, rather than being
cleared if the UID is anything other than 0 after squashing.

Since nfsv4 allows LOCKT without an open, but the ->lock() method is a
file method, we fake up a struct file in the nfsv4 code with just the
fields we need initialized. But we forgot to initialize the file
operations, with the result that LOCKT never results in a call to the
filesystem's ->lock() method (if it exists).
We could just add that one more initialization. But this hack of faking
up a struct file with only some fields initialized seems the kind of
thing that might cause more problems in the future. We should either do
an open and get a real struct file, or make lock-testing an inode (not a
file) method.
This patch does the former.

It should be quite clear that it generally makes sense to execute
the default PM callbacks (ie. the callbacks used for handling
suspend, hibernation and resume of PCI devices without drivers) for
all devices. Of course, the drivers that provide legacy PCI PM
support (ie. the ->suspend, ->suspend_late, ->resume_early
or ->resume hooks in the pci_driver structure), carry out these
operations too, so we can't do it for devices with such drivers.
Still, we can make the default PM callbacks run for devices with
drivers using the new framework (ie. implement the pm object), since
there are no such drivers at the moment.
This also simplifies the code and makes it smaller.

It generally is better to avoid accessing devices behind bridges that
may not be in the D0 power state, because in that case the bridges'
secondary buses may not be accessible. For this reason, during the
early phase of resume (ie. with interrupts disabled), before
restoring the standard config registers of a device, check the power
state of the bridge the device is behind and postpone the restoration
of the device's config space, as well as any other operations that
would involve accessing the device, if that state is not D0.
In such cases the restoration of the device's config space will be
retried during the "normal" phase of resume (ie. with interrupts
enabled), so that the bridge can be put into D0 before that happens.
Also, save standard configuration registers of PCI devices during the
"normal" phase of suspend (ie. with interrupts enabled), so that the
bridges the devices are behind can be put into low power states (we
don't put bridges into low power states at the moment, but we may
want to do it in the future and it seems reasonable to design for
that).

PCI devices without drivers are not disabled during suspend and
hibernation, but they are enabled during resume, with the help of
pci_reenable_device(), so there is an unbalanced execution of
pcibios_enable_device() in the resume code path.
To correct this introduce function pci_disable_enabled_device()
that will disable the argument device, if it is enabled when the
function is being run, without updating the device's pci_dev
structure and use it in the suspend code path to balance the
pci_reenable_device() executed during resume.

There is a problem with the suspend and resume of PCI Express port
service devices that the ->suspend() and ->resume() routines of each
service device are called twice in each suspend-resume cycle, which
is obviously wrong.
The scenario is that first, the PCI Express port driver calls
suspend and resume routines of each port service driver from its
pcie_portdrv_suspend() and pcie_portdrv_resume() callbacks,
respectively (which is correct), and second, the pcie_port_bus_type
driver calls them from its ->suspend() and ->resume() callbacks
(which is not correct, because it doesn't happen at the right time).
The solution is to remove the ->suspend() and ->resume() callbacks
from pcie_port_bus_type and the associated functions.
