dasd.c forgot to set ->private_data, but was using it ;-/ Fixed. Remaining dasd_devmap_from_kdev() callers switched to dasd_devmap_from_bdev() (other than call from dasd_devmap_from_bdev(), that is). dasd_devmap_from_kdev() merged into dasd_devmap_from_bdev().

Eliminated several gratitious ->bd_dev uses.

Bunch of kdevname() uses replaced with bdevname(). __bdevname() switched from kdev_t to dev_t; callers updated.

RAID autoconfig rewritten to use syscalls and moved into do_mounts.c; use of devfs_get_handle() in do_mounts.c also rewritten in syscalls.

paride/pseudo.h fed through Lindent, use of timer replaced with schedule_delayed_work() - that's what the old code tried to emulate.

Instead of user_path_walk() and comparing dentries, sys_swapoff() opens its argument and compares ->i_mapping. Result: slightly simpler code and swapoff(2) becomes tolerant to e.g. swapon /dev/sda2 switch root from initrd to sda1 .... swapoff /dev/sda2 # where /dev is from sda1, not from initrd current tree fails in the case above (different dentries -> no love).

Spotted by Andries - cloning namespace assumes that new tree is congruent to the old one (when switching root/cwd) but actually inverts the order of children in each node.

Buffer I/O error on device loop: its use of sendfile is (trivially) broken - retval is usually count done, only an error when negative. This code (like the old one) does not correctly handle partial reads. Nearby spinlocking clearly bogus, delete instead of remarking on it.

This patch will break some userspace monitoring apps in the name of having sane disk statistics in 2.6.x. Patch from Rick Lindsley <ricklind@us.ibm.com> In 2.5.46, there are now disk statistics being collected twice: once for gendisk/hd_struct, and once for dkstat. They are collecting the same thing. This patch removes dkstat, which also had the disadvantage of being limited by DK_MAX_MAJOR and DK_MAX_DISK. (Those #defines are removed too.) In addition, this patch removes disk statistics from /proc/stat since they are now available via sysfs and there seems to have been a general preference in previous discussions to "clean up" /proc/stat. Too many disks being reported in /proc/stat also caused buffer overflows when trying to print out the data. The code in led.c from the parisc architecture has not apparently been recompiled under recent versions of 2.5, since it references kstat.dk_drive which doesn't exist in later versions. Accordingly, I've added an #ifdef 0 and a comment to that code so that it may at least compile, albeit without one feature -- a step up from its state now. If it is preferable to keep the broken code in, that patch may easily be excised from below.

We're currently incrementing /proc/vmstat:pgalloc in front of the per-cpu page queues, and incrementing /proc/vmstat:pgfree behind the per-cpu queues. So they get out of whack. Change it so that we increment the counters each time someone requests a page. ie: they're both in front of the queues. Also, remove a duplicated prep_new_page() call and as a consequence, drop the whole additional list walk in rmqueue_bulk().

There was some strange code in the __getblk()/__find_get_block()/ __bread() area which was performimg multiple bh_lru_install() calls as well as multiple touch_buffer() calls. Fix all that up. We only need to run bh_lru_install() and touch_buffer() in __find_get_block(). Because if the block wasn't found, __getblk() will create it and will re-run __find_get_block(). Also document a few things and make a couple of internal symbols static to buffer.c Also, don't run __find_get_block() from within unmap_underlying_metadata(). We hardly expect to find that block inside the LRU. And we hardly expect to use it as metadata in the near future so there's no point in letting it evict another buffer if we found it. So just go straight into the pagecache lookup for unmap_underlying_metadata().

Patch from William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> Idle time accounting is disturbed by the iowait statistics, for several reasons: (1) iowait time is not subdivided among cpus. The only way the distinction between idle time subtracted from cpus (in order to be accounted as iowait) can be made is by summing counters for a total and dividing the individual tick counters by the proportions. Any tick type resolution which is not properly per-cpu breaks this, meaning that cpus which are entirely idle, when any iowait is present on the system, will have all idle ticks accounted to iowait instead of true idle time. (2) kstat_read_proc() misreports iowait time The idle tick counter is passed twice to the sprintf(), once in the idle tick position, and once in the iowait tick position. (3) performance enhancement The O(1) scheduler was very carefully constructed to perform accesses only to localized cachelines whenever possible. The global counter violates one of its core design principles, and the localization of "most" accesses is in greater harmony with its overall design and provides (at the very least) a qualitative performance improvement wrt. cache. The method of correcting this is simple: embed an atomic iowait counter in the runqueues, find the runqueue being manipulated in io_schedule(), increment its atomic counter prior to schedule(), and decrement it after returning from schedule(), which is guaranteed to be the same one, as the counter incremented is tracked as a variable local to the procedure. Then simply sum to obtain a global iowait statistic. (Atomicity is required as the post-wait decrement may occur on a different cpu from the one owning the counter.) io_schedule() and io_schedule_timeout() are moved to sched.c as they must access the runqueues, which are private to sched.c, and nr_iowait() is created in order to export the sum of all runqueues' nr_iowait().

A patch from Janet Morgan <janetmor@us.ibm.com> If you feed an iovec with a bad address not at the zeroeth segment into readv or writev, it returns the wrong value. iovec 1: base is 8050b20 len is 64 iovec 2: base is ffffffff len is 64 iovec 3: base is 8050ba0 len is 64 The writev should return 64 bytes but is returning 128 This is because we've added the new segment's length into `count' before running access_ok(). The patch changes it to fix that up on the slow path, if access_ok() fails.

DOH!!! Somebody clone me a replacement brain: I must have burnt another fuse. It turns out the new readpages was evading our read/write serialization. This broke things like 'ld' over NFS, which rewrites chunks of files it has already written.

I enhanced the sendfile method so that we could pass a proper actor to it (which exposes the full power of the internal implementation). Now knfsd calls the sendfile vector rather than depending on a readpage() that hasn't been set up fully.

Use new "nmi_enter/exit()" which acts the same as the regular irq entries (increases the preempt count appropriately), but doesn't try to start processing softirqs on nmi exit (it just decreases the count).
