Impact: don't set GFP_DMA in q->bounce_gfp unnecessarily All DMA address limits are expressed in terms of the last addressable unit (byte or page) instead of one plus that. However, when determining bounce_gfp for 64bit machines in blk_queue_bounce_limit(), it compares the specified limit against 0x100000000UL to determine whether it's below 4G ending up falsely setting GFP_DMA in q->bounce_gfp. As DMA zone is very small on x86_64, this makes larger SG_IO transfers very eager to trigger OOM killer. Fix it. While at it, rename the parameter to @dma_mask for clarity and convert comment to proper winged style. Signed-off-by:

Impact: fix SG_IO behavior such that it matches the documentation SG_IO howto says that if ->dxfer_len and sum of iovec disagress, the shorter one wins. However, the current implementation returns -EINVAL for such cases. Trim iovc if it's longer than ->dxfer_len. This patch uses iov_*() helpers which take struct iovec * by casting struct sg_iovec * to it. sg_iovec is always identical to iovec and this will be further cleaned up with later patches.

Impact: fix not-so-critical but annoying bug sg_miter_next() returns 0 sized mapping if there is an zero sized sg entry in the list or at the end of each iteration. As the users always check the ->length field, this bug shouldn't be critical other than causing unnecessary iteration. Fix it. Signed-off-by:

There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers were loaded before the module load are present. Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take into account at all that probing might not have begun yet. (Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him) This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml): The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

Collect the DECLARE/DEFINE declarations together in linux/percpu-defs.h so that they're in one place, and give them descriptive comments, particularly the SHARED_ALIGNED variant. It would be nice to collect these in linux/percpu.h, but that's not possible without sorting out the severe #include recursion between the x86 arch headers and the general headers (and possibly other arches too).

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU() does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE. Signed-off-by:

Commit a6dc60f8 ("vmscan: rename sc.may_swap to may_unmap") removed the may_swap flag, but memcg had used it as a flag for "we need to use swap?", as the name indicate. And in the current implementation, memcg cannot reclaim mapped file caches when mem+swap hits the limit. re-introduce may_swap flag and handle it at get_scan_ratio(). This patch doesn't influence any scan_control users other than memcg. Signed-off-by:

Insert PCI root bus resources for the FRV-based MB93090 development kit motherboard. This is required because the CPU's window onto the PCI bus address space is considerably smaller than the CPU's full address space and non-PCI devices lie outside of the PCI window that we might want to access. Without this patch, the PCI root bus uses the platform-level bus resources, and these are then confined to the PCI window, thus making platform_device_add() reject devices outside of this window.

This is a doc-only patch which I hope will reduce the number of spi_master controller driver patches starting out with a common implementation bug. (As in: almost every spi_master driver I see starts out with its version of this bug. Sigh.) It just re-emphasizes that the setup() method may be called for one device while a transfer is active on another ... which means that most driver implementations shouldn't touch any registers.

On parisc machines, which don't have HIL, removing the hp_sdc module panics the kernel. Fix this by returning early in hp_sdc_exit() if no HP SDC controller was found. Add functionality to probe for the hp_sdc_mlc kernel module (which takes care of the upper layer HIL functionality on parisc) after two seconds.

Btrfs fallocate was incorrectly starting a transaction with a lock held on the extent_io tree for the file, which could deadlock. Strictly speaking it was using join_transaction which would be safe, but it is better to move the transaction outside of the lock. When preallocated extents are overwritten, btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty was being called on an unlocked buffer. This was triggering an assertion and oops because the lock is supposed to be held. The bug was calling btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty on a leaf after btrfs_del_item had been run. btrfs_del_item takes care of dirtying things, so the solution is a to skip the btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty call in this case.
