Add another allocator to the common mempool code: a kzalloc/kfree allocator This will be used by the next patch in the series to replace a mempool-backed kzalloc allocator. It is also very likely that there will be more users in the future. Signed-off-by:

This patch changes several mempool users, all of which are basically just wrappers around kmalloc(), to use the common mempool_kmalloc/kfree, rather than their own wrapper function, removing a bunch of duplicated code. Signed-off-by:

Since the addition of boot_cpu_init(), fixup_cpu_present_map() has been a no-op. That's because fixup_cpu_present_map() won't touch cpu_present_map if it has any bits set, and boot_cpu_init() sets a bit. So remove fixup_cpu_present_map(). A consequence of this (actually of the boot_cpu_init() change) is that the architecture _must_ populate cpu_present_map itself (probably in smp_prepare_cpus()). fixup_cpu_present_map() won't do it any more. If the architecture doesn't do this, it'll only bring up a single CPU. The other side effect (though less serious) is that smp_prepare_boot_cpu() no longer needs to mark the boot cpu in the online and present maps - boot_cpu_init() does that for everyone (to make early printks work).

tlclk calls register_chrdev() and permits register_chrdev() to allocate the major, but it promptly forgets what that major was. So if there's no hardware present you still get "telco_clock" appearing in /proc/devices and, I assume, an oops reading /proc/devices if tlclk was a module. Fix. Mark, I'd suggest that that we not call register_chrdev() until _after_ we've established that the hardware is present. Cc: Mark Gross <mgross@linux.intel.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

Lockd and the NFSv4 server both exercise a race condition where posix_test_lock() is called either before or after posix_lock_file() to deal with a denied lock request due to a conflicting lock. Remove the race condition for the NFSv4 server by adding a new conflicting lock parameter to __posix_lock_file() , changing the name to __posix_lock_file_conf(). Keep posix_lock_file() interface, add posix_lock_conf() interface, both call __posix_lock_file_conf(). [akpm@osdl.org: Put the EXPORT_SYMBOL() where it belongs] Signed-off-by:

I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in a cache line that contained inodes_stat. So each time inodes_stats is changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line. This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to avoid false sharing. RCU dentry lookups can go full speed. Signed-off-by:

Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver. It links in the proper bus and device support. It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the driver (as a device). These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory. If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should discover this and will only have one BMC entry. The BMC entry will have pointers to each interface device that connects to it. The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later. This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou. I basically rewrote it using that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :). [bunk@stusta.de: make ipmi_find_bmc_guid() static] Signed-off-by:

Modify the PCI hanling code for the IPMI driver to use the new method of tables and registering, and adds more generic PCI handling for IPMI. Unfortunately, this required a rather large rework of the way the driver did detection so it would be more event-driven. [bunk@stusta.de: make a struct static] Signed-off-by:
