This cleans up swsusp in 2.5.20. Killed sysrq-D support (it is too much trouble to support suspending from interrupt), kill unused define, fix compile-time warnings (thanks to Adam).

I created arch/i386/suspend.c not to clash with ACPI people so much in future. (More stuff is going to move into it in the future, to clean up functions that really do not belong to the headers.)

This patch merges in all the currently outstanding bluesmoke bits from 2.5-dj to 2.5.20, it also has the pleasant side effect of fixing the compilation. Test compiled with and without MCE.

Here's that patch again (MIME this time, so tabs don't get lost by my silly gui mailer); applies cleanly against against 2.4.19-pre8. Nobody commented on it last time I posted it, and it does make compiling gcc easier, so I guess that makes it trivial patch monkey fodder. Or am I making a silly mistake?

Most /proc/slabinfo cache_names are in the format: cache_name. There are a couple with spaces in the name, which is inconsistent and requires a special case when scripting. Changes "fasync cache" and "file lock cache" to have the usual underscore.

inactive_list and active_list are global, yet they are repeatedly initialized using INIT_LIST_HEAD() in free_area_init_core(). This patch is originally due to Christoph Hellwig, and by some reports has been implementated before in 2.4-based trees by Andrea Arcangeli.

The memlist_* macros serve as nothing but an insulation layer from the Linux-native generic list operations. This patch removes them in favor of using generic list operations directly.

This comment, describing how to optimize for gcc-2.2.2, is so outdated it should be removed. It's also quite doubtful it should ever have been placed in this file at all (perhaps something under Documentation/ ?). This patch removes it.

memclass is too large to be a #define; it overflows 80 columns and does not make use of facilities available only to macros. This patch convert memclass() to be an inline function.

I found this one while trying to straighten out bootstrap ordering issues elsewhere. There appears to be a duplicate declaration of rq in sched_init(). This removes the nested declaration and otherwise leaves things alone.

The comment describing the usage of zone_table[] assumes the existence of an unsigned char page->zone field from the original implementation of page->zone size reduction. This patch corrects the comment to accurately describe the lookup mechanism used by page_zone() and also to mention explicitly the sole user of the table, page_zone().

This patch against 2.5.19 gets rid of some bogus casts in ide-cd.c In my opinion the casts as is are bugs waiting to happen.

I found that 'max' pointer is not updated in proc_dointvec_minmax() and proc_doulongvec_minmax(), when I write smaller values than min to /proc/sys entry (and val<*min++ check becomes true.) This may lead to min/max checking of values with bogus maximum.

Unrelated to my first dcache patch, this is something more crucial and should be applied first. fs/dcache.c: - handle d_alloc() returning NULL.

Attached is a really trivial patch that changes an "unknown" PCI_DEVICE_ID 0x3112 to PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8361 in drivers/pci/quirks.c . It applies cleanly to 2.5.18 and 2.4.19-pre8.

[ Made applicable with -p1 by Rusty ] nlma fixes a call to netlink_broadcast with GFP_KERNEL ( passed to skb_clone ) while we are in_interrupt() ( catched by a BUG() in slab.c:1109 ).

Missing include of asm_io.h in mm_bootmem.c: Submitted this trivial patch on May 14, but nothing has happened yet. Perhaps better chance if you took care of it. It's needed by phys_to_virt() but it happens to work on i386 etc. since dma.h includes io.h for that arch.

The following has been vetted with davem w.r.t. the change to KM_SKB_DATA. Apologies for the bug... include/asm-*/kmap_types.h: Replace the unused km_type slot KM_SKB_DATA with KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA. net/sunrpc/xdr.c: Replace the use of KM_USER0 with KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA for copying data from an skb into the page cache when in the sk->data_ready() callback.

oom-loop fixes error handling after a netlink failure - it does not do a cleanup and it makes every next call to ip_fw_check to detect a loop and drop the packet.

Looks like sys_sysinfo has not been touched in years. Among other things, it uses a global cli() for protection; I switched it to an existing rwlock. I also pulled it out of info.c and stuck it in timer.c (I choose timer.c because it shares dependencies there already). The details: - move sys_sysinfo to kernel/timer.c from kernel/info.c: why one small syscall got its own file is beyond me. - delete kernel/info.c - stop the global cli! now grab a read_lock on xtime_lock. this is safe as we moved the write_unlock on xtime_lock down one line to cover the calculating of avenrun. - trivial code cleanup

The attached patch cleans up some per-CPU code in arch/i386/kernel/smp.c that could be problematic under preemption. The first I solve with the new get_cpu interface, for the second two I explicitly disable preemption. I also changed 1 to 1UL in the shift to properly match the type.

Resend of trivial bits from my scheduler tree...: - shift cpu by 1UL not 1 to match type - clarify various comments - remove the barrier from preempt_schedule. This was here because I used to check need_resched before returning from preempt_schedule but we do not now (although should). The barrier insured need_resched and preempt_count were in sync now and after an interrupt that could occur.

I started looking into a couple FIXMEs in kernel/capability.c and I ended up with a fairly largish patch (although not quite so many changes to object code). First, it is unsafe to touch task->cap_* while not holding task_capability_lock. The most notable occurrence of this is sys_access which saves the current cap_* values, changes them, does its business, then restores them. In between all this they can change and then be restored to old values. Unfortunately we cannot just grab the lock here since the function can sleep - I marked this with a FIXME for now. Second, I formalized the locking rules with task_capability_lock. I declared the lock in include/linux/capability.h so other code can grab it. Finally, there is a whole boatload of code cleanup: - remove conditional locking/unlocking - that is just gross - don't pointlessly grab the read_lock twice - add/remove/edit comments - change some types (int -> pid_t, etc) - static inline two small functions that are called only once each - remove two FIXMEs - general code cleanup for readability and performance TODO: - fix sys_access and other cap_* accesses - do something about the annoying oddball 5-space indentation in kernel/capability.c !! Patch is against 2.5.20, please apply. Robert Love

This patch removes the whole wq_lock_t abstraction, forcing the behavior to be that of a standard spinlock and changes all the wq_lock code in the tree appropriately. Removes lots of code - always a Good Thing to me. New behavior is same as previous behavior (USE_RW_WAIT_QUEUE_SPINLOCK unset).

- Remove last parameter from ide_dump_status. This information is now permanently present in device->staus field, so there is not need to pass it around. - Patch for DVD read through ide-scsi. There is the possibility that we can get request structures passed down, which don't have the queue field set. At lest on the BIO code path this seems to be something worth further investigation. Found by Adam J. Richter. (Jens?) - Revert my change to the hostdata handling. I did get it wrong about the way host structures are allocated by the generic SCSI layer. It plays tricks there. - piix driver updates by Vojtech Pavlik. - We have a ata_out_regfile, so we should have ata_in_regfile too.
