The pointer to the current time interpolator and the current list of time interpolators are typically only changed during bootup. Adding __read_mostly takes them away from possibly hot cachelines.

Currently the migration of anonymous pages will silently fail if no swap is setup.

The sighand pointer only needs the rcu_read_lock on the read side. So only depending on task_lock protection when setting this pointer is not enough. We also need a memory barrier to ensure the initialization is seen first. Use rcu_assign_pointer as it does this for us, and clearly documents that we are setting an rcu readable pointer.

The dynamic add path for PCI Host Bridges can fail to configure children adapters under P5IOC controllers. It fails to properly fixup bus/device resources, and it fails to properly enable EEH. Both of these steps need to occur before any children devices are enabled in pci_bus_add_devices(). Signed-off-by: John Rose <johnrose@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The recent changes to keep gettimeofday in sync with xtime had the side effect that it was occasionally possible for the time reported by gettimeofday to go back by a microsecond. There were two reasons: (1) when we recalculated the offsets used by gettimeofday every 2^31 timebase ticks, we lost an accumulated fractional microsecond, and (2) because the update is done some time after the notional start of jiffy, if ntp is slowing the clock, it is possible to see time go backwards when the timebase factor gets reduced. This fixes it by (a) slowing the gettimeofday clock by about 1us in 2^31 timebase ticks (a factor of less than 1 in 3.7 million), and (b) adjusting the timebase offsets in the rare case that the gettimeofday result could possibly go backwards (i.e. when ntp is slowing the clock and the timer interrupt is late). In this case the adjustment will reduce to zero eventually because of (a). Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This fixes not one, but _two_, silly (but admittedly hard to hit) bugs in the ext2 filesystem "readdir()" function. It also cleans up the code to avoid the unnecessary goto mess. The bugs were related to re-valiating the f_pos value after somebody had either done an "lseek()" on the directory to an invalid offset, or when the offset had become invalid due to a file being unlinked in the directory. The code would not only set the f_version too eagerly, it would also not update f_pos appropriately for when the offset fixup took place. When that happened, we'd occasionally subsequently fail the readdir() even when we shouldn't (no real harm done, but an ugly printk, and obviously you would end up not necessarily seeing all entries). Thanks to Masoud Sharbiani <masouds@google.com> who noticed the problem and had a test-case for it, and also fixed up a thinko in the first version of this patch.

Fix QoS is not active even the network and the card is QOS enabled. The problem is we pass the wrong ieee80211_network address to ipw_handle_beacon/ipw_handle_probe_response, thus the ieee80211_network->qos_data.active will not be set, causing the driver not sending QoS frames at all.

page migration currently simply retries a couple of times if try_to_unmap() fails without inspecting the return code. However, SWAP_FAIL indicates that the page is in a vma that has the VM_LOCKED flag set (if ignore_refs ==1). We can check for that return code and avoid retrying the migration. migrate_page_remove_references() now needs to return a reason why the failure occured. So switch migrate_page_remove_references to use -Exx style error messages.

* git://oss.sgi.com:8090/oss/git/rc-fixes: Fix a direct I/O locking issue revealed by the new mutex code.
-
Nathan Scott authored
Affects only XFS (i.e. DIO_OWN_LOCKING case) - currently it is not possible to get i_mutex locking correct when using DIO_OWN direct I/O locking in a filesystem due to indeterminism in the possible return code/lock/unlock combinations. This can cause a direct read to attempt a double i_mutex unlock inside XFS. We're now ensuring __blockdev_direct_IO always exits with the inode i_mutex (still) held for a direct reader. Tested with the three different locking modes (via direct block device access, ext3 and XFS) - both reading and writing; cannot find any regressions resulting from this change, and it clearly fixes the mutex_unlock warning originally reported here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114189068126253&w=2Signed-off-by: Nathan Scott <nathans@sgi.com> Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
