And this one fixes an overflow when there is more than 4GB of hugetlb.

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>

follow_hugetlb_page() drops out of the loop prematurely and fails to take the
appropriate refcounts if its starting address was not hugepage-aligned.

It looked a bit unclean too, so I rewrote it.  This fixes a bug, and more
importantly, makes the thing readable by something other than a compiler
(e.g.  programmers).

Remove page_has_buffers() from various functions, document the dependencies
on buffer_head.h from other files besides filemap.c, and s/this file/core VM/
in filemap.c

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>

Move __set_page_dirty_buffers() to fs/buffer.c, as per the FIXME.

I'd forgotten that I'd set this to only fire every 20s in the past, because
it would rebalance too agressively.  That seems to be fixed now, so we should
turn it back on.

2.4 builds its global PCI device list in breadth-first order.

2.5 is doing the scan that way but defers the construction of the global list
until later and then does it depth-first.  This causes devices to found in
different order by drivers.  The below fixed that problem for me.

Russell King has acked this change.

This patch fixes a race in the timer_interrupt code caused by
detect_lost_tick().  Since we're doing lost-tick compensation outside
timer->mark_offset, time can pass between time-source reads which can cause
gettimeofday inconsistencies.

Additionally detect_lost_tick() was broken for the PIT case, since the whole
point of detect_lost_tick() is to interpolate between two time sources to
find inconsistencies.  Additionally this could cause xtime_lock seq_lock
reader starvation which has been causing machine hangs for SMP boxes that use
the PIT as a time source.

This patch fixes the described race by removing detect_lost_tick() and
instead implementing the lost tick detection code inside mark_offset().

Some of the divs and mods being added here might concern folks, but by not
calling timer->get_offset() in detect_lost_tick() we eliminate much of the
same math.  I did some simple cycle counting and the new code comes out on
average equivalent or faster.

We want to make sure we update jiffies_p and count_p atomically.  So I'm
inserting the spin_unlock_irqrestore() after we update count_p, rather then
just before.

From: george anzinger <george@mvista.com>

In the current system (2.5.67) time_spec to jiffies, time_val to
jiffies and the converse (jiffies to time_val and jiffies to
time_spec) all use 1/HZ as the measure of a jiffie.  Because of the
inability of the PIT to actually generate an accurate 1/HZ interrupt,
the wall clock is updated with a more accurate value (999848
nanoseconds per jiffie for HZ = 1000).  This causes a 1/HZ
interpretation of jiffies based timing to run faster than the wall
clock, thus causing sleeps and timers to expire short of the requested
time.  Try, for example:

time sleep 60

This patch changes the conversion routines to use the same value as
the wall clock update code to do the conversions.

The actual math is almost all done at compile time.  The run time
conversions require little if any more execution time.

This patch must be applied after the patch I posted earlier today
which fixed the CLOCK_MONOTONIC resolution issue.

The POSIX CLOCK_MONOTONIC currently has only 1/HZ resolution.  Further, it is
tied to jiffies (i.e.  is a restatment of jiffies) rather than "xtime" or the
gettimeofday() clock.

This patch changes CLOCK_MONOTONIC to be a restatment of gettimeofday() plus
an offset to remove any clock setting activity from CLOCK_MONOTONIC.  An
offset is kept that represents the difference between CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
gettimeofday().  This offset is updated when ever the gettimeofday() clock is
set to back the clock setting change out of CLOCK_MONOTONIC (which by the
standard, can not be set).

With this change CLOCK_REALTIME (a direct restatement of gettimeofday()),
CLOCK_MONOTONIC and gettimeofday() will all tick at the same time and with
the same rate.  And all will be affected by NTP adjustments (save those which
actually set the time).

This patch changes the way DCACHE_REFERENCED flag is used. It
got messed up in dcache_rcu iterations. I hope this will be ok now.

The flag was meant to be advisory flag which is used while
prune_dcache() so as not to free dentries which have recently
entered d_lru list. At first pass in prune_dcache the dentries
marked DCACHE_REFERENCED are left with the flag reset. and they
are freed in the next pass.

So, now we mark the dentry as DCACHE_REFERENCED when it is first
entering the d_lru list in dput() and resetthe flag in prune_dcache().
If the flag remains reset in the next call to prune_dcache(), the
dentry is then freed.

Also I don't think any file system have to use this flag as it is taken
care by the dcache layer. The patch removes such code from a few of file
systems. Moreover these filesystems were anyway doing worng thing as they
were changing the flag out of dcache_lock.

Changes:
o dput() marks dentry DCACHE_REFERENCED when it is added to the dentry_unused
  list
o no need to set the flag in dget, dget_locked, d_lookup as these guys anyway
  increments the ref count.
o check the ref count in prune_dcache and use DCACHE_REFERENCED flag just for
  two stage aging.
o remove code for setting DACACHE_REFERENCED from reiserfs, fat, xfs and
  exportfs.

From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com>

This patch the corrects the dentry_stat.nr_unused calculation.

In select_parent() and shrink_dcache_anon() we were not doing any adjustments
to the nr_unused count after manipulating the dentry_unused list.  Now the
nr_unused count is decremented if the dentry is on dentry_unused list and is
removed from there.

Further in the same routines, we have to adjust the nr_unused count again if
the dentry is moved to the end of d_lru list for pruning.

dev_kfree_skb() can end up calling local_bh_enable() which goes BUG if local
interrupts are disabled.  Apparently it can deadlock.

So move the skb freeing outside the lock in the dmfe driver.  It will
decrease the lock hold time as well.

Fix this:

fs/partitions/nec98.c:169: undefined reference to `parse_bsd'

- It was doing spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_unlock()

- Can't free the skb inside local_irq_save(): kfree_skb ends up running
  local_bh_enable(), which enables interrupts.

- Cleaned up hostinfo usage in all drivers and created a central API to
  handle them all.
- Fixup some spinlock mis-usage.
- Remove devfs_handle mis-usage.
- Cleaned up some heavy handed spinlocking to use mutexes instead.
- Add function to send PHY config packets and use to to settle
  IRM/cycle-master/root descrepancies.

If copy_namespace() returns -EPERM, copy_process() will
return a confusing -ENOMEM. Fix it thus.

	new_ns = kmalloc(sizeof(struct namespace *), GFP_KERNEL);
thing wasn't a very good idea.

The rest are whitespace cleanups.

(i) Replace in struct loop_info the dev_t field by __kernel_old_dev_t,
where this type is defined in <asm/posix_types.h>, so that problems
with a differently sized dev_t in userspace are avoided.

(ii) Introduce a new loop_info64, with __u64 device, inode and offset
fields.

This replaces checkboxes by radiobuttons whereever necessary (menu
choices).  It partially fixes the #540 bug report.

Second try at the bridge driver module handling cleanup...

1) Eliminate keeping a seperate bridge_list and use a bit on
   the priv_flags structure.  This is equivalent to how the VLAN
   code works. Makes code cleaner and correctly handles cases like
   creating a bridge with the same name as an existing ether device etc.

2) Don't do own module ref counting that is inhernently racy.
   Instead set owner field and cleanup debris on unload.

3) Do last state cleanup in destructor

4) Change of bridge state (dev_open/stop) should use write_lock

5) Make sure timer is not running when cleared.

6) Use "const char *" where possible

o As requested, macros in dn_fib.h changed to decnet specific names
o Two bugs fixed (only in 2.5 decnet stack) relating to bind and connection
  states.
o Numerous style changes: using C99 initialisers and inline rather
  than __inline__
o Use struct flowi as routing key (for forthcoming flow cache)
o Add metrics to routing table
o Many routing table bug fixes
o New wait code to improve efficiency
o We use real device MTUs now rather than saying "hmm... looks like ethernet
  must be 1500" as we used to (still one or two places to fix, but its
  mostly correct in this patch)
o Tidy up in af_decnet.c:dn_sendmsg() in preparation for zerocopy
o Updates to rtnetlink code to return more information
o Removed ioctl() for decnet fib. It never did anything and rtnetlink is
  a far better interface anyway.
o Converted /proc/decnet_neigh to seq_file (other /proc files to follow)
o DECnet route cache now uses RCU like the ipv4 route cache
o Misc bug fixes wherever I found them
o SO_BINDTODEVICE works for outgoing connections

There's just one caller in fs/devfs/base.c left.

Always pass around the pathnames for the devfs entries / directories
instead of the devfs_handle_ts.  Cleanes up the code massivly.

Pass in the path directly instead of getting it from a devfs_handle_t.

Store the path of it's devfs directory in struct scsi_device.  Use
it in the devfs_register calls instead of the devfs_handle_t
which will go away soon.

Store the path of it's devfs directory in ide_drive_t.  Use
it in the devfs_register calls instead of the devfs_handle_t
which will go away soon.

Make sure the first argument to devfs_register is zero.

As several people found out while I was asleep I sent you
a bogus patch version and devfs didn't compile in your
tree since then.  Fix it.
