Speed up high call-rate workloads by caching the struct ip_map for the peer on
the connected struct svc_sock instead of looking it up in the ip_map cache
hashtable on every call. This helps workloads using AUTH_SYS authentication
over TCP.
Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients, each with 16
synthetic client threads simulating an rsync (i.e. recursive directory
listing) workload reading from an i386 RH9 install image (161480 regular files
in 10841 directories) on the server. That tree is small enough to fill in the
server's RAM so no disk traffic was involved. This setup gives a sustained
call rate in excess of 60000 calls/sec before being CPU-bound on the server.
Profiling showed strcmp(), called from ip_map_match(), was taking 4.8% of each
CPU, and ip_map_lookup() was taking 2.9%. This patch drops both contribution
into the profile noise.
Note that the above result overstates this value of this patch for most
workloads. The synthetic clients are all using separate IP addresses, so
there are 64 entries in the ip_map cache hash. Because the kernel measured
contained the bug fixed in commit
commit 1f1e030bf75774b6a283518e1534d598e14147d4
and was running on 64bit little-endian machine, probably all of those 64
entries were on a single chain, thus increasing the cost of ip_map_lookup().
With a modern kernel you would need more clients to see the same amount of
performance improvement. This patch has helped to scale knfsd to handle a
deployment with 2000 NFS clients.

Make the nfsd read-ahead params cache more SMP-friendly by changing the single
global list and lock into a fixed 16-bucket hashtable with per-bucket locks.
This reduces spinlock contention in nfsd_read() on read-heavy workloads on
multiprocessor servers.
Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients each doing 1K
streaming reads at full line rate. The server had 128 nfsd threads, which
sizes the RA cache at 256 entries, of which only a handful were used. Flat
profiling shows nfsd_read(), including the inlined nfsd_get_raparms(), taking
10.4% of each CPU. This patch drops the contribution from nfsd() to 1.71% for
each CPU.

The max possible is the maximum RPC payload. The default depends on amount of
total memory.
The value can be set within reason as long as no nfsd threads are currently
running. The value can also be ready, allowing the default to be determined
after nfsd has started.

The limit over UDP remains at 32K. Also, make some of the apparently
arbitrary sizing constants clearer.
The biggest change here involves replacing NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE by a function of
the rqstp. This allows it to be different for different protocols (udp/tcp)
and also allows it to depend on the servers declared sv_bufsiz.
Note that we don't actually increase sv_bufsz for nfs yet. That comes next.

.. by allocating the array of 'kvec' in 'struct svc_rqst'.
As we plan to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from 8 upto 256, we can no longer
allocate an array of this size on the stack. So we allocate it in 'struct
svc_rqst'.
However svc_rqst contains (indirectly) an array of the same type and size
(actually several, but they are in a union). So rather than waste space, we
move those arrays out of the separately allocated union and into svc_rqst to
share with the kvec moved out of svc_tcp_recvfrom (various arrays are used at
different times, so there is no conflict).

We are planning to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from about 8 to about 256. This
means we need to be a bit careful about arrays of size RPCSVC_MAXPAGES.
struct svc_rqst contains two such arrays. However the there are never more
that RPCSVC_MAXPAGES pages in the two arrays together, so only one array is
needed.
The two arrays are for the pages holding the request, and the pages holding
the reply. Instead of two arrays, we can simply keep an index into where the
first reply page is.
This patch also removes a number of small inline functions that probably
server to obscure what is going on rather than clarify it, and opencode the
needed functionality.
Also remove the 'rq_restailpage' variable as it is *always* 0. i.e. if the
response 'xdr' structure has a non-empty tail it is always in the same pages
as the head.
check counters are initilised and incr properly
check for consistant usage of ++ etc
maybe extra some inlines for common approach

nfsd/portlist
The refcount that nfsd holds on lockd is based on the number of open sockets.
So when we close a socket, we should decrement the ref (with lockd_down).
Currently when a socket is closed via writing to the portlist file, that
doesn't happen.
So: make sure we get an error return if the socket that was requested does is
not found, and call lockd_down if it was.

The MMC layer uses the standard work queue for doing card detection. As this
queue is shared with other crucial subsystems, the effects of a long (and
perhaps buggy) detection can cause the system to be unusable. E.g. the
keyboard stops working while the detection routine is running.
The solution is to add a specific mmc work queue to run the detection code in.
This is similar to how other subsystems handle detection (a full kernel
thread is the most common theme).

The cause of this problem might be an wrong assumption that the 'start'
member of resource structure for ioapic device has non-zero value if the
resources are assigned by firmware. The 'start' member of ioapic device
seems not to be set even though the resources were actually assigned to
ioapic devices by firmware.

Not all architectures have a file named 'defconfig' (e.g. powerpc).
However the make TAGS and make tags targets search such files for tags,
causing an error message when they don't exist. This patch addresses the
problem by instructing xargs not to run the tags program if there are no
matching files.

Spotted by Hugh that hugetlb page is free'ed back to global pool before
performing any TLB flush in unmap_hugepage_range(). This potentially allow
threads to abuse free-alloc race condition.
The generic tlb gather code is unsuitable to use by hugetlb, I just open
coded a page gathering list and delayed put_page until tlb flush is
performed.

Having min be a signed quantity means gcc can't turn high latency divides
