Impact: Reduce memory usage. This is the second half of the changes to make the irq_desc_ptrs be variable sized based on nr_cpu_ids. This is done by adding a new "max_nr_irqs" macro to irq_vectors.h (and a dummy in irqnr.h) to return a max NR_IRQS value based on NR_CPUS or nr_cpu_ids. This necessitated moving the define of MAX_IO_APICS to a separate file (asm/apicnum.h) so it could be included without the baggage of the other asm/apicdef.h declarations.

Impact: allocate irq_desc_ptrs in preparation for making it variable-sized. This addresses this memory usage bump when NR_CPUS bumped from 128 to 4096: 34816 +229376 264192 +658% irq_desc_ptrs(.data.read_mostly) The patch is split into two parts, the first simply allocates the irq_desc_ptrs array. Then next will deal with making it variable. This is only when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQS=y. Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com>

Impact: Improve tlb flush performance for UV Calling alloc_cpumask_var a zillion times a second does affect performance. Replace with static cpumask. Note: when CONFIG_X86_UV is defined, this extra PER_CPU memory will be optimized out for non-UV configs as is_uv_system() will then return a constant 0. Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com>

Impact: reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API. This is made a little more tricky by uv_flush_tlb_others which actually alters its argument, for an IPI to be sent to the remaining cpus in the mask. I solve this by allocating a cpumask_var_t for this case and falling back to IPI should this fail. To eliminate temporaries in the caller, all flush_tlb_others implementations now do the this-cpu-elimination step themselves. Note also the curious "cpus_or(f->flush_cpumask, cpumask, f->flush_cpumask)" which has been there since pre-git and yet f->flush_cpumask is always zero at this point.

Impact: fix bug where new irq_desc uses old cpumask pointers which are freed. As Yinghai pointed out, init_copy_one_irq_desc() copies the old desc to the new desc overwriting the cpumask pointers. Since the old_desc and the cpumask pointers are freed, then memory corruption will occur if these old pointers are used. Move the allocation of these pointers to after the copy.

Impact: reduce memory usage, use new cpumask API. Replace the affinity and pending_masks with cpumask_var_t's. This adds to the significant size reduction done with the SPARSE_IRQS changes. The added functions (init_alloc_desc_masks & init_copy_desc_masks) are in the include file so they can be inlined (and optimized out for the !CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK case.) [Naming chosen to be consistent with the other init*irq functions, as well as the backwards arg declaration of "from, to" instead of the more common "to, from" standard.] Includes a slight change to the declaration of struct irq_desc to embed the pending_mask within ifdef(CONFIG_SMP) to be consistent with other references, and some small changes to Xen.

In a discussio with Jeff Garzik, he mentioned that the serialization for the libata port probes only needs to be within the domain of a host. This means that for the first port of each host (with ID 0), we don't need to wait, so we can relax our serialization a little.

The sensor can be accessed via various buses. In particular, SPI, I²C and, on HP laptops, via a specific ACPI API (the only one currently supported). Separate this latest platform from the core of the sensor driver to allow support for the other bus type. The second, and more direct goal is actually to be able to merge this part with the hp-disk-leds driver, which has the same ACPI PNP number.

Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.
