This partially reverts commit 1696e6bc
("mtd: nand: kill NAND_NO_READRDY").

In that patch I overlooked a few things.

The original documentation for NAND_NO_READRDY included "True for all
large page devices, as they do not support autoincrement." I was
conflating "not support autoincrement" with the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR option,
which was in fact doing nothing. So, when I dropped NAND_NO_AUTOINCR, I
concluded that I then could harmlessly drop NAND_NO_READRDY. But of
course the fact the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR was doing nothing didn't mean
NAND_NO_READRDY was doing nothing...

So, NAND_NO_READRDY is re-introduced as NAND_NEED_READRDY and applied
only to those few remaining small-page NAND which needed it in the first
place.

Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to
commit e8d19552 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock
is ready")

It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things

1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
	nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
	memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
   can not be just removed.  Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
   and make fall back path working.

2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
   a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
   b.  for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
	     set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
     still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
     it should be moved before that....
   c.  it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
       early before override from INITRD is settled.

3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title,
   but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not
   pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should
   be routed via tip/x86/mm.

4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram:
  a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed?
  b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable...
  c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G
	anymore.
  d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore.
  e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is
     not good.

If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and
vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that
node.

We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not
be fixed.

So just remove that offending commit and related ones including:

 f7210e6c ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to
    protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().")

 01a178a9 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from
    SRAT")

 27168d38 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to
    the end of node")

 e8d19552 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is
    ready")

 fb06bc8e ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map")

 42f47e27 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority")

 6981ec31 ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep
    movable limit for nodes")

 34b71f1e ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter")

 4d59a751 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node")

Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table
and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0.  Also
need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

  I would like to introduce the Linux port to ARC Processors (from

  Arnd, tglx, Al and other subsystem maintainers for DeviceTree, kgdb...

  The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by

   1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds

   2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform-
      image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to
      record the revision history.

The kdb_defcmd can only be used to display the available command aliases
while using the kernel debug shell.  If you try to define a new macro
while the kernel debugger is active it will oops.  The debug shell
macros must use pre-allocated memory set aside at the time kdb_init()

that the kdb_init sequence is being run, which only occurs if you

Added missing Kconfig option KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC which lead to a dead
ifdef block in kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:73-75.

The code using KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC was originally introduced in
commit '5d5314d6' by Jason Wessel.
This patchset ("kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)")
added platform independent part of kdb to the linux kernel.

The Kernel option however, even though it had the same options and
behaviour on all supported architectures, was part of the x86 and
ia64 patchset of KDB and therefore not pulled into the mainline kernel tree.

I actually took the originally written Kconfig by
Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> (2003-06-20 according to KDB changelog)
and changed it to reflect the correct behaviour,
as the KDUMP patchset is not part of the kernel and the expected
functionality is missing from it.

We can't look up the address of the entry point of the function simply
via that function symbol for all architectures.

For PPC64 ABI, actually there is a function descriptors structure.

A function descriptor is a three doubleword data structure that contains
the following values:
	* The first doubleword contains the address of the entry point of
		the function.
	* The second doubleword contains the TOC base address for
		the function.
	* The third doubleword contains the environment pointer for
		languages such as Pascal and PL/1.

So we should call a wapperred dereference_function_descriptor() to get
the address of the entry point of the function.

Note this is also safe for other architecture after refer to
"include/asm-generic/sections.h" since:

dereference_function_descriptor(p) always is (p) if without arched definition.

When locally adding in some additional kdb commands, I stumbled
across an issue with the dynamic expansion of the kdb command table.
When the number of kdb commands exceeds the size of the statically
allocated kdb_base_commands[] array, additional space is allocated in
the kdb_register_repeat() routine.

The unused portion of the newly allocated array was not being initialized
to zero properly and this would result in segfaults when help '?' was
executed or when a search for a non-existing command would traverse the
command table beyond the end of valid command entries and then attempt
to use the non-zeroed area as actual command entries.

Add a num_write_bios function to struct target.

If an instance of a target sets this, it will be queried before the
target's mapping function is called on a write bio, and the response
controls the number of copies of the write bio that the target will
receive.

This provides a convenient way for a target to send the same data to
more than one device.  The new cache target uses this in writethrough
mode, to send the data both to the cache and the backing device.

This patch allows the administrator to reduce the rate at which kcopyd
issues I/O.

Each module that uses kcopyd acquires a throttle parameter that can be
set in /sys/module/*/parameters.

We maintain a history of kcopyd usage by each module in the variables
io_period and total_period in struct dm_kcopyd_throttle. The actual
kcopyd activity is calculated as a percentage of time equal to
"(100 * io_period / total_period)".  This is compared with the user-defined
throttle percentage threshold and if it is exceeded, we sleep.

This patch introduces enhanced message support that allows the
device-mapper core to recognise messages that are common to all devices,
and for messages to return data to userspace.

Core messages are processed by the function "message_for_md".  If the
device mapper doesn't support the message, it is passed to the target
driver.

If the message returns data, the kernel sets the flag
DM_MESSAGE_OUT_FLAG.

Device-mapper ioctls receive and send data in a buffer supplied
by userspace.  The buffer has two parts.  The first part contains
a 'struct dm_ioctl' and has a fixed size.  The second part depends
on the ioctl and has a variable size.

This patch recognises the specific ioctls that do not use the variable
part of the buffer and skips allocating memory for it.

In particular, when a device is suspended and a resume ioctl is sent,
this now avoid memory allocation completely.

The variable "struct dm_ioctl tmp" is moved from the function
copy_params to its caller ctl_ioctl and renamed to param_kernel.
It is used directly when the ioctl function doesn't need any arguments.

This patch introduces flags for each ioctl function.

So far, one flag is defined, IOCTL_FLAGS_NO_PARAMS.  It is set if the
function processing the ioctl doesn't take or produce any parameters in
the section of the data buffer that has a variable size.

This patch merges io_pool and tio_pool into io_pool and cleans up
related functions.

Though device-mapper used to have 2 pools of objects for each dm device,
the use of bioset frontbad for per-bio data has shrunk the number of
pools to 1 for both bio-based and request-based device types.
(See c0820cf5 "dm: introduce per_bio_data" and
 94818742 "dm: Use bioset's front_pad for dm_rq_clone_bio_info")

So dm no longer has to maintain 2 different pointers.

No functional changes.

dm_calculate_queue_limits will first reset the provided limits to
defaults using blk_set_stacking_limits; whereby defeating the purpose of
retaining the original live table's limits -- as was intended via commit
3ae70656 ("dm: retain table limits when
swapping to new table with no devices").

Fix this improper limits initialization (in the no data devices case) by
avoiding the call to dm_calculate_queue_limits.
