From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> This patch is from the IA64 tree, with minor cleanups from me. Split out initialization of pgdat->node_mem_map into a separate function and allow architectures to override it. This is needed for HP IA64 machines that have a virtually mapped memory map to support big memory holes without having to use discontigmem. (memmap_init_zone is non-static to allow the IA64 code to use it - I did that instead of passing it's address into the arch hook as it is done currently in the IA64 tree)

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> This patch is from the IA64 tree, with some minor cleanups by me. David described it as: This is a performance speed up and some minor indendation fixups. The problem is that the bootmem code is (a) hugely slow and (b) has execution that grow quadratically with the size of the bootmap bitmap. This causes noticable slowdowns, especially on machines with (relatively) large holes in the physical memory map. Issue (b) is addressed by maintaining the "last_success" cache, so that we start the next search from the place where we last found some memory (this part of the patch could stand additional reviewing/testing). Issue (a) is addressed by using find_next_zero_bit() instead of the slow bit-by-bit testing.

From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com> The patch below is needed to make it possible to map stack pages without execution permission (as we do on ia64).

If get_block() returns -ENOSPC __block_write_full_page() is currently clearing PG_uptodate. Tht doesn't make any sense - failure to allocate space (or an IO error) does not make the page not uptodate. It will create pages which are dirty, mapped into pagetables and not uptodate, which is a nonsensical state.

From: Jan Kara <jack@ucw.cz> Fixes a deadlock-causing lock-ranking bug between dqio_sem and journal_start(). It sets up the needed infrastructure so that the quota code's sync_dquot() operation can call into ext3 and arrange for the transaction start to be nested outside the taking of dqio_sem.

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> This patch removes the long deprecated flush_page_to_ram. We have two different schemes for doing this cache flushing stuff, the old flush_page_to_ram way and the not so old flush_dcache_page etc. way: see DaveM's Documentation/cachetlb.txt. Keeping flush_page_to_ram around is confusing, and makes it harder to get this done right. All architectures are updated, but the only ones where it amounts to more than deleting a line or two are m68k, mips, mips64 and v850. I followed a prescription from DaveM (though not to the letter), that those arches with non-nop flush_page_to_ram need to do what it did in their clear_user_page and copy_user_page and flush_dcache_page. Dave is consterned that, in the v850 nb85e case, this patch leaves its flush_dcache_page as was, uses it in clear_user_page and copy_user_page, instead of making them all flush icache as well. That may be wrong: I'm just hesitant to add cruft blindly, changing a flush_dcache macro to flush icache too; and naively hope that the necessary flush_icache calls are already in place. Miles, please let us know which way is right for v850 nb85e - thanks.

I've had a warning in there for 4-5 months and it has never triggered. I think it's safe to remove this test.

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> It updates include/asm-{generic,parisc}/rtc.h for the recent changes in drivers/char/genrtc.c and include/asm-{m68k,ppc}/rtc.h. get_rtc_time() now returns some RTC flags instead of a 0/-1 success/failure indicator. These flags include: - RTC_BATT_BAD: RTC battery is bad (can be detected on PA-RISC) - RTC_24H: Clock runs in 24 hour mode Most of these flags are the same as drivers/char/rtc.c, but RTC_BATT_BAD is a new one.

radix_tree_delete() currently returns 0 on success, -ENOENT if there was nothing to delete. But it is more useful to return the address of the deleted item on success and NULL if there was no matching item. It can potentially save a lookup+delete operation.

- allocated storage `envp' was being leaked on an error path - kmalloc() returns void*, no need to cast it - don't return 0 from a void-returning function Greg has acked this patch.

Noted by David Mosberger: "If someone happens to arm a periodic timer at exactly 256 jiffies (as ohci happens to do on platforms with HZ=1024), then you end up getting an endless loop of timer activations, causing a machine hang. The problem is that __run_timers updates base->timer_jiffies _before_ running the callback routines. If a callback re-arms the timer at exactly 256 jiffies, add_timers() will reinsert the timer into the list that we're currently processing, which of course will cause the timer to expire immediately again, etc., etc., ad naseum... " The answer here is to move the whole expired list to a local header and to not look back.

- Convert nodemgr to new driver model. - Convert to new module_param() calls. - Merged fixes for devfs mkdir and some sleep-in-atomic fixes from mainline 2.5-bk - Fix possible memory corruption on highlevel local read/write. - Fix bitmap usage for some bitops. - Fix bug in closing ISO stream. - Fixes for nodemgr probing in the event of a reset storm. - Workaround for nForce2 firewire chipset. This is preliminary. - Conversion of SBP-2 to use new driver model in nodemgr, including providing a driver for firewire unit directories and registering proper callbacks.

Found by Rik van Riel: "There's a serious bug in the handling of the pointer returned by kmap_atomic() in nfs/dir.c. The pointer (part of desc) is passed into find_dirent_name and from there into dir_decode, which modifies the pointer. That means you end up passing a wrong address to kunmap_atomic()."
