Rearrange locking of i_mutex on destination so it's only held while buffers are copied with the pipe_to_file() actor, and not while waiting for more data on the pipe. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

splice_from_pipe() is only called from two places: - generic_splice_sendpage() - splice_write_null() Neither of these require i_mutex to be taken on the destination inode. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Split up __splice_from_pipe() into four helper functions: splice_from_pipe_begin() splice_from_pipe_next() splice_from_pipe_feed() splice_from_pipe_end() splice_from_pipe_next() will wait (if necessary) for more buffers to be added to the pipe. splice_from_pipe_feed() will feed the buffers to the supplied actor and return when there's no more data available (or if all of the requested data has been copied). This is necessary so that implementations can do locking around the non-waiting splice_from_pipe_feed(). This patch should not cause any change in behavior.

"Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> reports that commit b029195d introduced a regression of about 50% with sequential threaded read workloads. The test case is: tiotest -k0 -k1 -k3 -f 80 -t 32 which starts 32 threads each reading a 80MB file. Twiddle the kick queue logic so that we do start IO immediately, if it appears to be a fully merged request. We can't really detect that, so just check if the request is bigger than a page or not. The assumption is that since single bio issues will first queue a single request with just one page attached and then later do merges on that, if we already have more than a page worth of data in the request, then the request is most likely good to go. Verified that this doesn't cause a regression with the test case that commit b029195d was fixing. It does not, we still see maximum sized requests for the queue-then-merge cases.

Revert part of af5c820a ("x86: cpumask: use work_on_cpu in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c") That change is causing only one Intel CPU's microcode to be updated e.g. microcode: CPU3 updated from revision 0x9 to 0x17, date = 2005-04-22 where before it announced that also for CPU0 and CPU1 and CPU2. We cannot use work_on_cpu() in the CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE code, because Intel's request_microcode_user() involves a copy_from_user() from /sbin/microcode_ctl, which therefore needs to be on that CPU at the time.

Fix lpfc_parse_bg_err()'s use of do_div(). It should be passing a 64-bit variable as the first parameter. However, since it's only using a 32-bit variable, it doesn't need to use do_div() at all, but can instead use the division operator. This deals with the following warnings: CC drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_scsi.o drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_scsi.c: In function 'lpfc_parse_bg_err': drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_scsi.c:1397: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_scsi.c:1397: warning: right shift count >= width of type drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_scsi.c:1397: warning: passing argument 1 of '__div64_32' from incompatible pointer type Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In commit 51dcdfec ("parport: Use the PCI IRQ if offered") parport_pc_probe_port() gained an irqflags arg. This isn't being supplied on powerpc.

If the ti-usb adapter returns an zero data length frame (which happens) then we leak a kref. Found by Christoph Mair <christoph.mair@gmail.com> who proposed a patch.

ACM sets the low latency flag but calls the flip buffer routines from IRQ context which isn't permitted (and as of 2.6.29 causes a warning hence this one was caught) Fortunatelt ACM doesn't need to set this flag in the first place as it only set it to work around problems in ancient (pre tty flip rewrite) kernels.

Impact: build fix for Sparc and s390 Stephen Rothwell reported that the Sparc build broke: In file included from kernel/panic.c:12: include/linux/debug_locks.h: In function '__debug_locks_off': include/linux/debug_locks.h:15: error: implicit declaration of function 'xchg' due to: 9eeba613: lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taint There is some inconsistency between architectures about where exactly xchg() is defined. The traditional place is in system.h but the more logical point for it is in atomic.h - where most architectures (especially new ones) have it defined. These architecture also still offer it via system.h. Some, such as Sparc or s390 only have it in asm/system.h and not available via asm/atomic.h at all. Use the widest set of headers in debug_locks.h and also include asm/system.h. Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: "David S.

We ended up incorrectly using '&cur' instead of '&readin' in the work_on_cpu() -> smp_call_function_single() transformation in commit 01599fca ("cpufreq: use smp_call_function_[single|many]() in acpi-cpufreq.c").
