Roland Dreier 87b816706b [PATCH] IB/mthca: Factor out common queue alloc code
Clean up the allocation of memory for queues by factoring out the
common code into mthca_buf_alloc() and mthca_buf_free().  Now CQs and
QPs share the same queue allocation code, which we'll also use for SRQs.

Roland Dreier f520ba5aa4 [PATCH] IB: userspace SRQ support
Add SRQ support to userspace verbs module.  This adds several commands
and associated structures, but it's OK to do this without bumping the
ABI version because the commands are added at the end of the list so
they don't change the existing numbering.  There are two cases to
worry about:

1. New kernel, old userspace.  This is OK because old userspace simply
   won't try to use the new SRQ commands.  None of the old commands are
   changed.

2. Old kernel, new userspace.  This works perfectly as long as
   userspace doesn't try to use SRQ commands.  If userspace tries to
   use SRQ commands, it will get EINVAL, which is perfectly
   reasonable: the kernel doesn't support SRQs, so we couldn't do any
   better.

James Bottomley 36676bcbf9 [PATCH] Fix oops in sysfs_hash_and_remove_file()
The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without
ever having been made completely visible.  In SCSI this is triggered by
removing a device while it's initialising.

The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs,
the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made
to it.  The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was
never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL.

(akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems.  May not be the
long-term fix)

Andi Kleen 485761bd6a [PATCH] x86_64: Tell VM about holes in nodes
Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64.

This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it
overestimates the number of available RAM in a node.  In extreme cases you
can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks
and other nasty behaviour.

This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820.  Reserved
(like the kernel text or mem_map) is still not taken into account, but that
should be only a few percent error now.

Small detail is that the flat setup uses the NUMA free_area_init_node() now
too because it offers more flexibility.

I recently had a BUG_ON() go off spuriously on a gcc 4.0 compiled kernel.

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23422

It turns out we need to cast the input in order to tell gcc to sign extend
it.

Steve French d634cc15e8 [PATCH] Fix oops in fs/locks.c on close of file with pending locks
The recent change to locks_remove_flock code in fs/locks.c changes how
byte range locks are removed from closing files, which shows up a bug in
cifs.

The assumption in the cifs code was that the close call sent to the
server would remove any pending locks on the server on this file, but
that is no longer safe as the fs/locks.c code on the client wants unlock
of 0 to PATH_MAX to remove all locks (at least from this client, it is
not possible AFAIK to remove all locks from other clients made to the
server copy of the file).

Note that cifs locks are different from posix locks - and it is not
possible to map posix locks perfectly on the wire yet, due to
restrictions of the cifs network protocol, even to Samba without adding
a new request type to the network protocol (which we plan to do for
Samba 3.0.21 within a few months), but the local client will have the
correct, posix view, of the lock in most cases.

The correct fix for cifs for this would involve a bigger change than I
would like to do this late in the 2.6.13-rc cycle - and would involve
cifs keeping track of all unmerged (uncoalesced) byte range locks for
each remote inode and scanning that list to remove locks that intersect
or fall wholly within the range - locks that intersect may have to be
reaquired with the smaller, remaining range.

Deepak Saxena 9138dccbb9 [PATCH] Fix IXP4xx CLOCK_TICK_RATE
As pointed out in the following thread, the CLOCK_TICK_RATE setting for
IXP4xx is incorrect b/c the HW ignores the lowest 2 bits of the LATCH
value.

Tnx to George Anziger and Egil Hjelmeland for finding the issue.

Paul Jackson d10689b68a [PATCH] cpu_exclusive sched domains on partial nodes temp fix
This keeps the kernel/cpuset.c routine update_cpu_domains() from
invoking the sched.c routine partition_sched_domains() if the cpuset in
question doesn't fall on node boundaries.

I have boot tested this on an SN2, and with the help of a couple of ad
hoc printk's, determined that it does indeed avoid calling the
partition_sched_domains() routine on partial nodes.

I did not directly verify that this avoids setting up bogus sched
domains or avoids the oops that Hawkes saw.

This patch imposes a silent artificial constraint on which cpusets can
be used to define dynamic sched domains.

This patch should allow proceeding with this new feature in 2.6.13 for
the configurations in which it is useful (node alligned sched domains)
while avoiding trying to setup sched domains in the less useful cases
that can cause the kernel corruption and oops.
