we are checking mptable early for numaq, so don't need to reserve_bootmem for it. bootmem is not there yet. do the same thing as 64-bit. found it on 64g above system from 64-bit kernel kexec to 32 bit kernel with numaq support.

This patch uses reserve_bootmem_generic() instead of reserve_bootmem() to reserve the crashkernel memory on x86_64. That's necessary for NUMA machines, see 00212fef: [PATCH] Fix kdump Crash Kernel boot memory reservation for NUMA machines This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel. The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic". I checked to make sure that no other function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that had NUMA ifdef'ed out. I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off) in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations.

This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic() like it already has been added in reserve_bootmem() with commit 72a7fe39. It also changes all users to use BOOTMEM_DEFAULT, which doesn't effectively change the behaviour. Since the change is x86-specific, I don't think it's necessary to add a new API for migration. There are only 4 users of that function. The change is necessary for the next patch, using reserve_bootmem_generic() for crashkernel reservation.

The pxa27x DMA controller defaults to 64-bit alignment. This caused the SCR reads to fail (and, depending on card type, error out) when card->raw_scr was not aligned on a 8-byte boundary. For performance reasons all scatter-gather addresses passed to pxamci_request should be aligned on 8-byte boundaries, but if this can't be guaranteed, byte aligned DMA transfers in the have to be enabled in the controller to get correct behaviour.

This reverts commit e8721549. Andrey Borzenkov reports that it resulted in a totally hung machine for him when loading the OHCI driver. Extensive netconsole capture with SysRq output shows that modprobe gets stuck in ohci_hub_status_data() when probing and enabling the OHCI controller, see for example http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/5/236 for an analysis. The problem appears to be an interrupt flood triggered by the commit that gets reverted, and Andrey confirmed that the revert makes things work for him again.

Mark McLoughlin authored
The "remote_irr" variable is used to indicate an interrupt which has been received by the LAPIC, but not acked. In our EOI handler, we unset remote_irr and re-inject the interrupt if the interrupt line is still asserted. However, we do not set remote_irr here, leading to a situation where if kvm_ioapic_set_irq() is called, then we go ahead and call ioapic_service(). This means that IRR is re-asserted even though the interrupt is currently in service (i.e. LAPIC IRR is cleared and ISR/TMR set) The issue with this is that when the currently executing interrupt handler finishes and writes LAPIC EOI, then TMR is unset and EOI sent to the IOAPIC. Since IRR is now asserted, but TMR is not, then when the second interrupt is handled, no EOI is sent and if there is any pending interrupt, it is not re-injected. This fixes a hang only seen while running mke2fs -j on an 8Gb virtio disk backed by a fully sparse raw file, with aliguori "avoid fragmented virtio-blk transfers by copying" changes.

Fix some issues in pagemap_read noted by Alexey: - initialize pagemap_walk.mm to "mm" , so the code starts working as advertised - initialize ->private to "&pm" so it wouldn't immediately oops in pagemap_pte_hole() - unstatic struct pagemap_walk, so two threads won't fsckup each other (including those started by root, including flipping ->mm when you don't have permissions) - pagemap_read() contains two calls to ptrace_may_attach(), second one looks unneeded. - avoid possible kmalloc(0) and integer wraparound.

class->dev_release is called by device_release() iff dev->release is not present so ide_port_class_release() is never called and the last hwif->gendev reference is not dropped. Fix it by removing ide_port_class_release() and get_device() call from ide_register_port() (device_create_drvdata() takes a hwif->gendev reference anyway).

Some Dell laptops enter resume with apparent garbage in the segment descriptor registers (almost certainly the result of a botched transition from protected to real mode.) The only way to clean that up is to enter protected mode ourselves and clean out the descriptor registers. This fixes resume on Dell XPS M1210 and Dell D620.
