      md: Allow write-intent bitmaps to have chunksize < PAGE_SIZE · 1187cf0a
      NeilBrown authored 
      md currently insists that the chunk size used for write-intent
bitmaps (the amount of data that corresponds to one chunk)
be at least one page.

The reason for this restriction is lost in the mists of time,
but a review of the code (and a vague memory) suggests that the only
problem would be related to resync.  Resync tries very hard to
work in multiples of a page, but also needs to sync with units
of a bitmap_chunk too.

This connection comes out in the bitmap_start_sync call.

So change bitmap_start_sync to always work in multiples of a page.
If the bitmap chunk size is less that one page, we flag multiple
chunks as 'syncing' and generally make them all appear to the
resync routines like one chunk.

All other code either already works with data ranges that could
span multiple chunks, or explicitly only cares about a single chunk.

      md: Fix is_mddev_idle test (again). · eea1bf38
      NeilBrown authored 
      There are two problems with is_mddev_idle.

1/ sync_io is 'atomic_t' and hence 'int'.  curr_events and all the
   rest are 'long'.
   So if sync_io were to wrap on a 64bit host, the value of
   curr_events would go very negative suddenly, and take a very
   long time to return to positive.

   So do all calculations as 'int'.  That gives us plenty of precision
   for what we need.

2/ To initialise rdev->last_events we simply call is_mddev_idle, on
   the assumption that it will make sure that last_events is in a
   suitable range.  It used to do this, but now it does not.
   So now we need to be more explicit about initialisation.

      copy_process: fix CLONE_PARENT && parent_exec_id interaction · 2d5516cb
      Oleg Nesterov authored 
      CLONE_PARENT can fool the ->self_exec_id/parent_exec_id logic. If we
re-use the old parent, we must also re-use ->parent_exec_id to make
sure exit_notify() sees the right ->xxx_exec_id's when the CLONE_PARENT'ed
task exits.

Also, move down the "p->parent_exec_id = p->self_exec_id" thing, to place
two different cases together.

      Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod." · 129f8ae9
      Dave Jones authored 
      This reverts commit e088e4c9.

Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
regression in bug 12826.

Course of action:
 - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
   if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
   If it isn't, we need to fix that.
 - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
 - try again with the removal in six months.

It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

      Btrfs: fix spinlock assertions on UP systems · b9447ef8
      Chris Mason authored 
      btrfs_tree_locked was being used to make sure a given extent_buffer was
properly locked in a few places.  But, it wasn't correct for UP compiled
kernels.

This switches it to using assert_spin_locked instead, and renames it to
btrfs_assert_tree_locked to better reflect how it was really being used.

Reason for this is that cpu time accounting usually only happens from
interrupt context, but acct_update_integrals gets also called from
process context with interrupts enabled.

So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario:

Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt
happens which updates accouting values.  This causes acct_timexpd to be
greater than the former stime + utime.  The subsequent calculation of

	dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd);

will be negative and the division performed by

	cputime_to_jiffies(dtime)

will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit
register.

In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any
of the accounting values.

      [WATCHDOG] orion5x_wdt.c: 'ORION5X_TCLK' undeclared · c9a0c8a6
      Wim Van Sebroeck authored 
      orion5x_wdt no longer compiled after the changes in commit
ebe35aff ("Orion: prepare for
runtime-determined timer tick rate").

The tick rate define (ORION5X_TCLK) was removed in favor of a runtime
detection. The quick fix is to add the define in the watchdog driver.
The fix is not correct for all supported orion5x platforms, but since
the supported platforms right now are 133 Mhz and 166 Mhz, it won't
be _that_ far off. ;-) A fix that uses the runtime-determined timer
tick rate will be applied later.
