The i_cache was designed to keep references to the indirect blocks
used during block mapping so that they didn't have to be looked
up continually. The idea failed because there are too many places
where the i_cache needs to be freed, and this has in the past been
the cause of many bugs.
In addition there was no performance benefit being gained since the
disk blocks in question were cached anyway. So this patch removes
it in order to simplify the code to prepare for other changes which
would otherwise have had to add further support for this feature.

This cleans up the mmap() code path for GFS2 by implementing the
page_mkwrite function for GFS2. We are thus able to use the
generic filemap_fault function for our ->fault() implementation.
This now means that shared writable mappings will be much more
efficiently shared across the cluster if there is a reasonable
proportion of read activity (the greater proportion, the better).
As a side effect, it also reduces the size of the code, removes
special cases from readpage and readpages, and makes the code
path easier to follow.

As requested by Christoph, this patch cleans up GFS2's internal
read function so that it no longer uses the do_generic_mapping_read
function. This function is obsolete and GFS2 is the last user of it.
As a side effect the internal read code gets smaller and easier
to read and gfs2_readpage is split into two. One function has the locking
and the other function has the rest of the logic.

Fix a race condition where multiple glock demote requests are sent to
a node back-to-back. This patch does a check inside handle_callback()
to see whether a demote request is in progress. If true, it sets a flag
to make sure run_queue() will loop again to handle the new request,
instead of erronously setting gl_demote_state to a different state.

Before transmission of the last word in PIO RX_ONLY mode rx+tx mode
is enabled:
/* prevent last RX_ONLY read from triggering
* more word i/o: switch to rx+tx
*/
if (c == 0 && tx == NULL)
mcspi_write_cs_reg(spi,
OMAP2_MCSPI_CHCONF0, l);
But because c is decremented after the test, c will never be zero and
rx+tx will not be enabled. This breaks RX_ONLY mode PIO transfers.
Fix it by decrementing c in the beginning of the various I/O loops.

This reverts commit 81100eb80add328c4d2a377326f15aa0e7236398 for the
release, to avoid the unnecessary warning noise that is only really
relevant to wireless driver developers.
The warning will probably go right back in after I cut the release, but
at least we won't unnecessarily worry users.

The shared page table code for hugetlb memory on x86 and x86_64
is causing a leak. When a user of hugepages exits using this code
the system leaks some of the hugepages.
-------------------------------------------------------
Part of /proc/meminfo just before database startup:
HugePages_Total: 5500
HugePages_Free: 5500
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
Just before shutdown:
HugePages_Total: 5500
HugePages_Free: 4475
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
After shutdown:
HugePages_Total: 5500
HugePages_Free: 4988
HugePages_Rsvd:
0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
----------------------------------------------------------
The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range(). It
locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc(). Since huge_pte_alloc() calls
huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in
copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage. This is a
violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional
referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA
occurs. We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage
pagetables are shared. The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the
get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

Michael Wu noticed in his lkml post at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119396182726091&w=2
that certain wireless drivers ended up having their name in module
memory, which would then crash the kernel on module unload.
The patch he proposed was a bit clumsy in that it increased the size of
a lockdep entry significantly; the patch below tries another approach,
it checks, on module teardown, if the name of a class is in module space
and then zaps the class. This is very similar to what we already do
with keys that are in module space.

Linux does not want BIOS writers to invoke _OSI(Linux) -
for in the field it causes more Windows incompatibility problems
than it solves.
So when it is seen in the BIOS for an Intel Customer Reference Board,
Linux should ignore its effect by default, and should complain loudly.
Otherwise, the reference BIOS will go unfixed, and the bad BIOS
will spread to the field.
Users of this board can get the old behavior with "acpi_osi=Linux"
As this was the only entry, delete acpi_osl_dmi_table[].

I've verified (on my Initio 9100 with a DAT drive) that the

These fixes (other than the printk) are needed to get the module to load
ok (and work correctly) with my adapter & tape drive.
a) printk cosmetic fix
b) cblk->sglen needs setting for later DMA I/O routines to use
c) host->bios_addr needs setting for debug output correctness
d) semaph & semaph_lock initialisation had got lost since 2.6.22
e) since 2.6.22 the bios data address was truncated to 16 bits (needs 20

As it is ip_append_data only counts page fragments to the skb that
allocated it. As such it means that the first skb gets hit with a
4K charge even though it might have only used a fraction of it while
all subsequent skb's that use the same page gets away with no charge
at all.

Changeset 16b110c3fd760620b4a787db6ed512fe531ab1b5 (dmfe warning fix)
bothed up the offsets read from the SROM so that it doesn't read the
same datums it used to.
The change made transformations like turning:
"srom + 34"
into
"(__le32 *)srom + 34/4"
which doesn't work because 4 does not divide evenly
into 34 so we're using a different pointer offset
than in the original code.
I've changed theses cases in dmfe_parse_srom() to
consistently use "(type *)(srom + offset)" preserving
the offsets from the original code.

When we set the MFGPT timer tick, there is a chance that we'll
immediately assert an event. If for some reason the IRQ routing
for this clock has been setup for some other purpose, then we
could end up firing an interrupt into the SMM handler or worse.
This rearranges the timer tick init function to initalize the handler
before we set up the MFGPT clock to make sure that even if we get
an event, it will go to the handler.
Furthermore, in the handler we need to make sure that we clear the
event, even if the timer isn't running.
