This implements ptes-in-highmem for PPC, removes the quicklist and zero-page stuff. PTEs in highmem on SMP turned out to need some significant changes to avoid deadlocks on the hash_table_lock (now renamed to mmu_hash_lock). The PMDs now contain the physical address of the PTE page rather than the virtual address. Anything that takes the mmu_hash_lock now operates with the DMMU off to avoid MMU hash-table misses.

This set of one-liners are the ones which have already gone into 2.2.19-pre2. Andrey Panin <pazke@orbita1.ru>: [PATCH] arch_i386_kernel_smpboot.c missing __init: this patch adds missing __init directive for div64() function in arch/i386/kernel/smpboot.c. div64() is only used synchronize_tsc_bp() function which is marked __init. Andrey Panin <pazke@orbita1.ru>: [PATCH] remove annoying ISAPNP message: This patch removes useless messages like: "isapnp: Calling quirk for 02:00". John Fremlin <john@fremlin.de>: Patch to fix off by one in ide-scsi: Patch to fix off by one in ide-scsi To see it is correct compare with ide-cd behaviour René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>: [PATCH] compiler warnings in scripts_tkgen.c: this patch fixes two compiler warnings during make xconfig which turn up if one uses -Wshadow

From: Dave Jones <davej@suse.de> kernel builds and boots with patch (with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD disabled). (Trivial because CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM is Y if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is Y)

New helper: path_lookup(name, flags, nd) { int err = 0; if (path_init(name, flags, nd)) err = path_walk(name, nd); return err; } Places doing that by hand converted to calling it. Actually, quite a few of them were doing equivalent of __user_walk() (getname() and if it was successful - call path_lookup() and putname()). Converted to calling __user_walk().

LOOKUP_POSITIVE is not needed anymore. All callers of path_walk() treat -ENOENT and negative dentry the same way. If you want a proof of correctness - I'll send it, but it's a couple of pages of induction, basically boiling down to "let's show that for any N we can replace the if (lookup_flags & (LOOKUP_POSITIVE|LOOKUP_DIRECTORY)) break; in link_path_walk() with if ((lookup_flags & (LOOKUP_POSITIVE|LOOKUP_DIRECTORY)) || current->link_count <= N) break; without changing behaviour of the system". Pretty straightforward for N = 0, then we look for places that can lead to call link_path_walk() with current->link_count equal to N and show that if result of the test changes, behaviour of callers doesn't. Since the depth of recursion is limited, we had shown that test in question can be replaced with if (1). And that's the only place in tree the ever checks for LOOKUP_POSITIVE. The real reason behind that is very simple - indeed, suppose we get a negative dentry out of path_walk(). What the hell could we do with it? Its parent isn't locked, so both the name and parent can change at any moment (could have changed already). There used to be places that tried to play "let's get a negative dentry, lock its parent and start doing something". All of them racy and all of them fixed in 2.3. Fixed by switching to LOOKUP_PARENT...

SCSI reservation/reset handling - Make both the old and the new error handlers respond correctly to reservation conflicts (i.e. return an I/O error). - Add a scsi_reset_provider() function for use by the sg driver SCSI reset facility.

* new function - fsync_bdev() (analog of fsync_dev(), but takes struct block_device * instead of kdev_t. Callers of fsync_dev() that have struct block_device in question are using fsync_bdev() now. * old code for fsync_dev(NODEV) had been moved to sys_sync(). Other callers of fsync_dev(NODEV) are calling sys_sync() now. * fsync_dev() became a wrapper fro fsync_bdev(). * sync_dev() (not used anywhere in the tree) is gone. * i2oblock.c had fsync_dev() called in ->release(). Removed. * s390/block/xparm.c was doing fsync_dev() on its devices in cleanup_module(). Removed.

Most importantly this patch is making ide.c use the new automagic for module initialization lists and further preparing the rest of the code in question here for proper module separation. Despite this the CMOS probe has been removed as well... *Iff*, which I don't expect, this breaks anything it can be reintroduced easely. During this effort an actual bug in the initialization of the main module has been uncovered as well. a quite serious BUG has been tagged in ide-scsi.c as well, but as far as now I just didn't get along to actually fixing it. (The patch is big enough as it is). Details follow: - Kill *unused* ide_media_verbose() funciton. - Remove the unnecessary media and supports_dma fields from ide_driver_t. - Remove the global name field from ide_driver_t struct by pushing it down to the places where it's actually used. - Remove the unused hwif_data field from ide_hwif_t. - Push the supports_dsc_overlap condition up to the level where it belongs: disk type as well. - Make the initialization of ide main ide.c work with the new module initialization auto-magic instead of calling it explicitly in ll_rw_block.c This prevents the ide_init() from being called twice. We have BTW. renamed it to ata_module_init(), since ata is more adequate then ide and xxx_module_init corresponds better to the naming conventions used elsewhere throughout the kernel. This BUG was there before any ide-clean. It was worked around by a magic variable preventing the second call to succeed. We have removed this variable in one of the previous patches and thus uncovered it. - Kill proc_ide_read_driver() and proc_ide_write_driver(). The drivers already report on syslog which drives they have taken care of. (Or at least they should). In esp. the proc_ide_write_driver() was just too offending for me. Beleve it or not the purpose of it was to *request a particular* driver for a device, by echoing some magic values to a magic file... More importantly this "back door" was getting in the way of a properly done modularization of the IDE stuff. - Made some not externally used functions static or not EXPORT-ed. - Provide the start of a proper modularization between the main module and drivers for particular device types. Changing the name-space polluting DRIVER() macro to ata_ops() showed how inconsistently the busy (read: module busy!) field from ide_driver_t is currently used across the different device type modules. This has to be fixed soon. - Make the ide code use the similar device type ID numbers as the SCSI code :-). This is just tedious, but it will help in a distant feature. It helps reading the code anyway. - Mark repettitive code with /* ATA-PATTERN */ comments for later consolidation at places where we did came across it. - Various comments and notes added where some explanations was missing.

This is finally moving the ide-pci.c file into a shape where the host chip detection lists can finally be moved to where they belong - into the particular chipset specific files. This is accomplished, by a rather obivous removal of macro magic, which was just making entries to the global device type list nonfunctional, instead of making them conditional on the corresponding CONFIG_BLHA options. The second thing was to add a flag field to the device recognition list, which made it possible to compress many of the multi || chip id conditionals go away. The only other file affected is ide.h - here is the change in the size of the name field, which apparently slipped through ide-clean-12...
