      x86: APIC: remove apic_write_around(); use alternatives · 593f4a78
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum
      for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time.  Remove the
      X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to
      apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the
      ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum.  Remove
      apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed.
      Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends.  The use of
      ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have
      used it for readability's sake.
      
      I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead
      and here it is.  Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested
      with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP
      "feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as
      expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days).
      Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs
      it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I
      have disregarded it.
      
      I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated
      and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I
      have left changes to them out.  The option will get removed from them at
      the next run.
      
      Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some
      stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that
      intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will
      everywhere.

      Revert "x86/PCI: ACPI based PCI gap calculation" · 58b6e553
      Jesse Barnes authored
      This reverts commit 809d9a8f.
      
      This one isn't quite ready for prime time.  It needs more testing and
      additional feedback from the ACPI guys.

      [PATCH] ocfs2: fix oops in mmap_truncate testing · c0420ad2
      Coly Li authored
      This patch fixes a mmap_truncate bug which was found by ocfs2 test suite.
      
      In an ocfs2 cluster more than 1 node, run program mmap_truncate, which races
      mmap writes and truncates from multiple processes. While the test is
      running, a stat from another node forces writeout, causing an oops in
      ocfs2_get_block() because it sees a buffer to write which isn't allocated.
      
      This patch fixed the bug by clear dirty and uptodate bits in buffer, leave
      the buffer unmapped and return.
      
      Fix is suggested by Mark Fasheh, and I code up the patch.
