That file harkens back to the days of the big 2.4 -> 2.6 version jump,
and was based even then on older versions. Some of it is just obsolete,
and Jesper Juhl points out that it talks about kernel versions 2.6 and
should be updated to 3.0.
Remove some obsolete text, and re-phrase some other to not be 2.6-specific.

This reverts commit a3d77411e8b2ad661958c1fbee65beb476ec6d70,
as it causes a mess in the wireless rfkill status on some models.
It is probably a bad idea to toggle the rfkill for all dell models

Patch 2e711c04dbbf7a7732a3f7073b1fc285d12b369d
(PM: Remove sysdev suspend, resume and shutdown operations)
deleted sysdev_suspend(), which was being relied on to call
check_wakeup_irqs() in suspend. If check_wakeup_irqs() is not
called, wake interrupts that are pending when suspend is
entered may be lost. It also breaks IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND,
which is handled in check_wakeup_irqs().
This patch adds a call to check_wakeup_irqs() in syscore_suspend(),
similar to what was deleted in sysdev_suspend().

Regression introduced in commit 724d9f1cfba.
Prior to that, expand_dfs_referral would regenerate the mount data string
and then call cifs_parse_mount_options to re-parse it (klunky, but it
worked). The above commit moved cifs_parse_mount_options out of cifs_mount,
so the re-parsing of the new mount options no longer occurred. Fix it by
making expand_dfs_referral re-parse the mount options.

This driver handles the variants pca9530-pca9533, so it chose the name
"pca953x". However, there is a gpio driver which decided on the same
name. As a result, those two can't be loaded at the same time. Add a
subsystem prefix to make the driver name unique. Device matching will not
suffer, because both are I2C drivers which match using a
i2c_device_id-table which is not altered.

remap_pfn_range() means map physical address pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT to user addr.
For nommu arch it's implemented by vma->vm_start = pfn << PAGE_SHIFT which
is wrong acroding the original meaning of this function. And some driver
developer using remap_pfn_range() with correct parameter will get
unexpected result because vm_start is changed. It should be implementd
like addr = pfn << PAGE_SHIFT but which is meanless on nommu arch, this
patch just make it simply return.
Parameter name and setting of vma->vm_flags also be fixed.

this is not always the case. The sleep is restored but as a parameter to
the probe function in the pdata.

Now, in mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim(), mem_cgroup_local_usage() is
used for checking whether the memcg contains reclaimable pages or not. If
no pages in it, the routine skips it.
But, mem_cgroup_local_usage() contains Unevictable pages and cannot handle
"noswap" condition correctly. This doesn't work on a swapless system.
This patch adds test_mem_cgroup_reclaimable() and replaces
mem_cgroup_local_usage(). test_mem_cgroup_reclaimable() see LRU counter
and returns correct answer to the caller. And this new function has
"noswap" argument and can see only FILE LRU if necessary.

During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently
causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This
is expected behaviour. Unfortunately, if the highest zone is small, a
problem occurs.
When balance_pgdat() returns, it may be at a lower classzone_idx than it
started because the highest zone was unreclaimable. Before checking if it
should go to sleep though, it checks pgdat->classzone_idx which when there
is no other activity will be MAX_NR_ZONES-1. It interprets this as it has
been woken up while reclaiming, skips scheduling and reclaims again. As
there is no useful reclaim work to do, it enters into a loop of shrinking
slab consuming loads of CPU until the highest zone becomes reclaimable for
a long period of time.
There are two problems here. 1) If the returned classzone or order is
lower, it'll continue reclaiming without scheduling. 2) if the highest
zone was marked unreclaimable but balance_pgdat() returns immediately at
DEF_PRIORITY, the new lower classzone is not communicated back to kswapd()
for sleeping.
This patch does two things that are related. If the end_zone is
unreclaimable, this information is communicated back. Second, if the
classzone or order was reduced due to failing to reclaim, new information
is not read from pgdat and instead an attempt is made to go to sleep. Due
to this, it is also necessary that pgdat->classzone_idx be initialised
each time to pgdat->nr_zones - 1 to avoid re-reads being interpreted as
wakeups.

When deciding if kswapd is sleeping prematurely, the classzone is taken
into account but this is different to what balance_pgdat() and the
allocator are doing. Specifically, the DMA zone will be checked based on
the classzone used when waking kswapd which could be for a GFP_KERNEL or
GFP_HIGHMEM request. The lowmem reserve limit kicks in, the watermark is
not met and kswapd thinks it's sleeping prematurely keeping kswapd awake in
error.

zone
During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently
causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This
is expected behaviour.
When kswapd applies pressure to zones during node balancing, it checks if
the zone is above a high+balance_gap threshold. If it is, it does not
apply pressure but it unconditionally shrinks slab on a global basis which
is excessive. In the event kswapd is being kept awake due to a high small
unreclaimable zone, it skips zone shrinking but still calls shrink_slab().
Once pressure has been applied, the check for zone being unreclaimable is
being made before the check is made if all_unreclaimable should be set.
This miss of unreclaimable can cause has_under_min_watermark_zone to be

During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently
causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This
is expected behaviour. Unfortunately, if the highest zone is small, a
problem occurs.
This seems to happen most with recent sandybridge laptops but it's
probably a co-incidence as some of these laptops just happen to have a
small Normal zone. The reproduction case is almost always during copying
large files that kswapd pegs at 100% CPU until the file is deleted or
cache is dropped.
The problem is mostly down to sleeping_prematurely() keeping kswapd awake
when the highest zone is small and unreclaimable and compounded by the
fact we shrink slabs even when not shrinking zones causing a lot of time
to be spent in shrinkers and a lot of memory to be reclaimed.
Patch 1 corrects sleeping_prematurely to check the zones matching
the classzone_idx instead of all zones.
Patch 2 avoids shrinking slab when we are not shrinking a zone.
Patch 3 notes that sleeping_prematurely is checking lower zones against
a high classzone which is not what allocators or balance_pgdat()
is doing leading to an artifical belief that kswapd should be
still awake.
Patch 4 notes that when balance_pgdat() gives up on a high zone that the
decision is not communicated to sleeping_prematurely()
This problem affects 2.6.38.8 for certain and is expected to affect 2.6.39
and 3.0-rc4 as well. If accepted, they need to go to -stable to be picked
up by distros and this series is against 3.0-rc4. I've cc'd people that
reported similar problems recently to see if they still suffer from the
problem and if this fixes it.
This patch: correct the check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely()
During allocator-intensive workloads, kswapd will be woken frequently
causing free memory to oscillate between the high and min watermark. This
is expected behaviour.
A problem occurs if the highest zone is small. balance_pgdat() only
considers unreclaimable zones when priority is DEF_PRIORITY but
sleeping_prematurely considers all zones. It's possible for this sequence
to occur
1. kswapd wakes up and enters balance_pgdat()
2. At DEF_PRIORITY, marks highest zone unreclaimable
3. At DEF_PRIORITY-1, ignores highest zone setting end_zone
4. At DEF_PRIORITY-1, calls shrink_slab freeing memory from
highest zone, clearing all_unreclaimable. Highest zone
is still unbalanced
5. kswapd returns and calls sleeping_prematurely
6. sleeping_prematurely looks at *all* zones, not just the ones
being considered by balance_pgdat. The highest small zone
has all_unreclaimable cleared but the zone is not
balanced. all_zones_ok is false so kswapd stays awake
This patch corrects the behaviour of sleeping_prematurely to check the
zones balance_pgdat() checked.

The LM95241 driver accepts every chip ID equal to or larger than 0xA4 as its
own, and other chips such as LM95245 use chip IDs in the accepted ID range.
This results in false chip detection.
Fix problem by accepting only the known LM95241 chip ID.

Multiple attempts to dynamically reallocate pci resources have
unfortunately lead to regressions. Though we continue to fix the
regressions and fine tune the dynamic-reallocation behavior, we have not
reached a acceptable state yet.
This patch provides a interim solution. It disables dynamic reallocation
by default, but adds the ability to enable it through pci=realloc kernel
command line parameter.

Currently, ramp_delay variable is used uninitialzed in
max8997_set_voltage_ldobuck which gets called through
regulator_register calls.
To fix the problem, in max8997_pmic_probe, ramp_delay initialization
code is moved before calls to regulator_register.
