This is the small patch that we all agreed on. With this patch, we do
nice big writes/reads on ide disks that support 48-bit lba.

Add bio traversal functionality. This is a prereq for doing ide
multiwrites safely and sanely. Patch was originally done by Suparna,
Bartlomiej picked it up and changed the design somewhat. From Bart:

Main idea is now reversed - instead of introducing rq->hard_bio as
pointer for bio to be completed and using rq->bio as pointer for bio
to be submitted, rq->cbio is introduced for submissions and rq->bio
is used for completions

This minimizes changes to block layer and assures that all existing
block users are not affected by this patch.

This fixes a oops that happens when we map a framebuffer device to a
non-existant console.

set_con2fb_map wasn't testing to see the VC we where mapping to actually
exist.  Now it does.

I also added code to fbcon_cursor to reset the hotspot if it was changed
by userland.

This kills off warnings about unused variables.

This removes EDID support for VESA.  The EDID code needs more
developement which can be done on the side.

The results where mixed. It worked for some but not for others.

The font size needs to be set for all terminals.

This was the bug that was causing dual head (vga and mda) to lock up.

We started using ext3_dx_readdir() for all dir_index filesystems, because
we want to return entries in hash order always, so that readdir with a
partial read + new entry added before next readdir won't be crazy.

So we now need to free the structure at filp->pricate_data even against
non-indexed directories.

Patch from "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

We now use 0x7ffffff as the EOF cookie, because Linux NFS stupidly interprets
the cookie (which is supposed to be a bag of bits without necessarily any
semantic value) as a signed 64 bit integer, and then converts it to a
unsigned integer, and then blows up if it cannot be expressed be expressed as
a 32-bit value!!

In order to do this, we have to fold the hash value 0x7ffffff into the hash
value 0x7ffffffe.  This is relatively safe; the only time we will lose if the
directory contains filenames that hash to both 0x7ffffffe and 0x7fffffff
(under the original hash), and the last directory entry which hashes to
0x7ffffffe is at the end of a leaf block, and the first directory entry which
hashes to 0x7fffffff is at the beginning of a leaf block.

Patch from "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

The following patch should (in theory) fix the htree/NFS readdir problems
that people have reported.  Specifically, it should fix the NFS looping on
EOF problem with readdir, as well as the problems caused by coverting a
directory to HTREE while an NFS readdir is in progress problem.

I'd appreciate it if people who can easily replicate these NFS/htree problems
could give this patch (against BK-recent / 2.5.63) a whirl.  Thanks!!

Below are the patches which reserve the Lustre EA index.  The rest of the
code is part of the Lustre tree, which isn't working with 2.5 yet.

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>

The new vmalloc() semantics from 2.5.32 had a race window.  As things stand,
the presence of a vm_area in the vmlist protects from allocators other than
the owner examining the ptes in that area.  This puts an ordering constraint
on unmapping, so that allocators are required to unmap areas before removing
them from the list or otherwise dropping the lock.

Currently, unmap_vm_area() is done outside the lock and after the area is
removed, which as we've seen from Felix von Leitner's test is oopsable.

The following patch folds calls to unmap_vm_area() into remove_vm_area() to
reinstate what are essentially the 2.4.x semantics of vfree().  This renders
a number of unmap_vm_area() calls unnecessary (and in fact oopsable since
they wipe ptes from later allocations).  It's an open question as to whether
this is sufficiently performant, but it is the minimally invasive approach.
The more performant alternative is to provide the right API hooks to wipe the
vmalloc() area clean before removing them from the list, using the ownership
of the area to eliminate holding the vmlist_lock for the duration of the
unmapping.  If it proves to be necessary wli is on standby to implement it.
