This reverts commit fafd688e4c.
Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing
for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs
to control pdflush threads. The original author of the patch did not
have any specific use cases for adding the knobs, so we can easily
revert this before 2.6.30 to avoid having to maintain this API
forever.

When setting a key with NL80211_CMD_NEW_KEY, we should allow the key
sequence number (RSC) to be set in order to allow replay protection to
work correctly for group keys. This patch documents this use for
nl80211 and adds the couple of missing pieces in nl80211/cfg80211 and
mac80211 to support this. In addition, WEXT SIOCSIWENCODEEXT compat
processing in cfg80211 is extended to handle the RSC (this was already
specified in WEXT, but just not implemented in cfg80211/mac80211).

Add a new NL80211_ATTR_CONTROL_PORT flag for NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE to
allow user space to indicate that it will control the IEEE 802.1X port
in station mode. Previously, mac80211 was always marking the port
authorized in station mode. This was enough when drop_unencrypted flag
was set. However, drop_unencrypted can currently be controlled only
with WEXT and the current nl80211 design does not allow fully secure
configuration. Fix this by providing a mechanism for user space to
control the IEEE 802.1X port in station mode (i.e., do the same that
we are already doing in AP mode).

It is currently not possible to modify station flags, but that
capability would be very useful. This patch introduces a new
nl80211 attribute that contains a set/mask for station flags,
and updates the internal API (and mac80211) to mirror that.
The new attribute is parsed before falling back to the old so
that userspace can specify both (if it can) to work on all
kernels.

ped as single] [unmapped as page]
The ioatdma driver was unmapping all regions
(either allocated as page or single) using unmap_page.
This patch lets dma driver recognize if unmap_single or unmap_page should be used.
It introduces two new dma control flags:
DMA_COMPL_SRC_UNMAP_SINGLE and DMA_COMPL_DEST_UNMAP_SINGLE.
They should be set to indicate dma driver to do dma-unmapping as single
(first one for the source, tha latter for the destination).
If respective flag is not set, the driver assumes dma-unmapping as page.

NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE request must be able to indicate whether
management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is being used. mac80211 was
able to use MFP in client mode only with WEXT, but the new
NL80211_ATTR_USE_MFP attribute will allow this to be done with
nl80211, too.
Since we are currently using nl80211 for MFP only with drivers that
use user space SME, only MFP disabled and required values are
used. However, the NL80211_ATTR_USE_MFP attribute is an enum that can
be extended with MFP optional in the future, if that is needed with
some drivers (e.g., if the RSN IE is generated by the driver).

The xattr_root caching was broken from my previous patch set. It wouldn't

a larger chunk of the journal (~ 27 blocks) than it would actually use.
This patch loads the xattr root dentry at xattr initialization and creates

This reverts commit 006f4571a15fae3a0575f2a0f9e9b63b3d1012f8:
This patch moves platform_data from struct device into
struct platform_device, based on the two ideas:
1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register,
which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter
of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from
platform_device;
2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can
decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device.
Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they
can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we
keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until
all platform devices pass its platfrom data from
platform_device->platform_data.
All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome.
As we don't really want to do it, it was a bad idea.

for the original dev_addr field and because in some situations there is need to
carry several device addresses with the net device. To be backward compatible,
dev_addr is made to point to the first member of the list so original drivers
sees no difference.

This patch fixes a problem when you use 32 nodes in the cluster

--cluster-total-nodes 32 --cluster-local-node 32 \
--cluster-hash-seed 0xdeadbeef -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff
iptables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information.
% dmesg | tail -1
xt_cluster: this node mask cannot be higher than the total number of nodes
The problem is related to this checking:
if (info->node_mask >= (1 << info->total_nodes)) {
printk(KERN_ERR "xt_cluster: this node mask cannot be "
"higher than the total number of nodes\n");
return false;
}
(1 << 32) is 1. Thus, the checking fails.
BTW, I said this before but I insist: I have only tested the cluster
match with 2 nodes getting ~45% extra performance in an active-active setup.
The maximum limit of 32 nodes is still completely arbitrary. I'd really
appreciate if people that have more nodes in their setups let me know.

This introduces a CDC Ethernet Emulation Model (EEM) host side
driver to support USB EEM devices.
EEM is different from the Ethernet Control Model (ECM) currently
supported by the "CDC Ethernet" driver. One key difference is
that it doesn't require of USB interface alternate settings to
manage interface state; some maldesigned hardware can't handle
that part of USB. It also avoids a separate USB interface for
control and status updates.

Because NR_CPUS can be greater than 1000 and meminfo_proc_show() does
not check for underflow.
But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation. In general,
possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online
cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS).
The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff. using it is right
way. it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't
make underflow issue.

This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of
special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults
when binfmt_aout built as module. That happens because aout binary
handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and
kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must
be done by binfmt_loader.
Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers
using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which
places new handler on the top of the binfmt list. This might be generally
useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just
for overriding them.

Current mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() has two problems.
1. It doesn't call mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and doesn't update
last_oom_jiffies, so pagefault_out_of_memory invokes global OOM.
2. Considering hierarchy, shrinking has to be done from the
mem_over_limit, not from the memcg which the page would be charged to.
mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() does all of these things properly, so we
use it and call cancel_charge_swapin when it succeeded.
The name of "shrink_usage" is not appropriate for this behavior, so we
change it too.

The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.
This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

In order to utilize the full power of the new multi-touch devices, a
way to report detailed finger data to user space is needed. This patch
adds a multi-touch (MT) protocol which allows drivers to report details
for an arbitrary number of fingers.
The driver sends a SYN_MT_REPORT event via the input_mt_sync() function
when a complete finger has been reported.
In order to stay compatible with existing applications, the data
reported in a finger packet must not be recognized as single-touch
events. In addition, all finger data must bypass input filtering,
since subsequent events of the same type refer to different fingers.
A set of ABS_MT events with the desired properties are defined. The
events are divided into categories, to allow for partial implementation.
The minimum set consists of ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR, ABS_MT_POSITION_X and
ABS_MT_POSITION_Y, which allows for multiple fingers to be tracked.
If the device supports it, the ABS_MT_WIDTH_MAJOR may be used to provide
the size of the approaching finger. Anisotropy and direction may be
specified with ABS_MT_TOUCH_MINOR, ABS_MT_WIDTH_MINOR and
ABS_MT_ORIENTATION. Devices with more granular information may specify
general shapes as blobs, i.e., as a sequence of rectangular shapes
grouped together by a ABS_MT_BLOB_ID. Finally, the ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE
may be used to specify whether the touching tool is a finger or a pen.

The integrated button on the new unibody Macbooks presents a need to

actions. This patch adds a new button, BTN_TOOL_QUADTAP, which

In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.
(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)
This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.
Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2
Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit
37e5540b3c
epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)
Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.
This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.
Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
__kfree_skb()
skb_release_head_state()
sock_wfree()
sock_def_write_space()
__wake_up_sync_key()
__wake_up_common()
receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT

When creating a certain types of VPN, NetworkManager will first attempt
to find an available tun device by iterating through 'vpn%d' until it
finds one that isn't already busy. Then it'll set that to be persistent
and owned by the otherwise unprivileged user that the VPN dæmon itself
runs as.
There's a race condition here -- during the period where the vpn%d
device is created and we're waiting for the VPN dæmon to actually
connect and use it, if we try to create _another_ device we could end up
re-using the same one -- because trying to open it again doesn't get
-EBUSY as it would while it's _actually_ busy.
So solve this, we add an IFF_TUN_EXCL flag which causes tun_set_iff() to
fail if it would be opening an existing persistent tundevice -- so that
we can make sure we're getting an entirely _new_ device.

This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or
".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can
later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel.
Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing
HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the
actual name.
I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header,
include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to
appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures
for a number of other section names.
The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".text.foo".
