This merges two files (iSeries_IoMmTable.[ch]) into iSeries_pci.c. This allowed quite a few more things to become declared static. It then does some fairly mechanical cleanups in iSeries_pci.c (replacing studly caps, removing the last of the PCIFR() macros and removing a couple of empty or unused routines). There are no semantic changes. Signed-off-by:

The "Synchronize Arbitration IDs with APIC IDs" IPI does not make sense on Pentium 4 and Xeon because they don't have an APIC bus where arbitration IDs would be needed. The Intel Developers manual (Vol. 3, Ch. 8.6.1) says this IPI is unsupported on P4/Xeon. Using it may, according to Intel, lead to unpredictable results. Signed-off-by:

Early calls to userspace can invoke an execve() before any binfmt handlers are registered. Properly return an error in this case rather than 0. On at least one arch (x86_64) without this patch, the system will double fault on early attempts to call_usermodehelper. Signed-off-by:

There are two issues with online io scheduler switching that this patch addresses. The first is pretty simple - it concerns racing with scheduler removal on switch. elevator_find() does not grab a reference to the io scheduler, so before elevator_attach() is run it could go away. Add elevator_get() to solve that. Second issue is the flushing out of requests that is needed before switching can be problematic with requests that aren't allocated in the block layer (such as requests on the stack of a process). The problem is that we don't know when they will have finished, and most io schedulers need to access the elevator structures on io completion. This can be fixed by adding an intermedia step that switches to noop, since it doesn't need to touch anything but the request_queue. The queue drain can then safely be split into two operations - one that waits for file system requests, and one that waits for the queue to completely empty. Requests arriving after the first drain will get stuck in a seperate queue list. Signed-off-by:

register_sysctl_table() fails if sysctl support is not compiled into the kernel. The POSIX message queue subsystem aborted it's initialization if register_sysctl_table() fails, and that causes an oops in sys_mq_open(). The patch fixes that by ignoring failures from register_sysctl_table(). Signed-off-by; Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Signed-off-by:

To make spinlock/rwlock initialization consistent all over the kernel, this patch converts explicit lock-initializers into spin_lock_init() and rwlock_init() calls. Currently, spinlocks and rwlocks are initialized in two different ways: lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED spin_lock_init(&lock) rwlock = RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED rwlock_init(&rwlock) this patch converts all explicit lock initializations to spin_lock_init() or rwlock_init(). (Besides consistency this also helps automatic lock validators and debugging code.) The conversion was done with a script, it was verified manually and it was reviewed, compiled and tested as far as possible on x86, ARM, PPC. There is no runtime overhead or actual code change resulting out of this patch, because spin_lock_init() and rwlock_init() are macros and are thus equivalent to the explicit initialization method.

cdrom_is_mrw() can incorrectly think that a drive is Mt Rainier capable, because if forgets to check if the "GET CONFIGURATION" command returns the MRW feature number. According to the MMC spec, the drive shall return all feature numbers >= the starting feature number, so even if the drive doesn't support Mt Rainier, it can return some data that makes cdrom_is_mrw() incorrectly think the drive is MRW capable. This problem stops me from mounting DVD+RW discs in R/W mode on my laptop, because it makes cdrom_open_write() call cdrom_mrw_open_write() which fails because the drive isn't really MRW capable. The fix is to make sure the returned feature number is the correct one for Mt Rainier. Signed-off-by:
