My previous patch fixing invalidation of huge PTEs wasn't good enough, we still had an issue if a PTE invalidation batch contained both small and large pages. This patch fixes this by making sure the batch is flushed if the page size fed to it changes.

When creating a multipath device, if the queue_if_no_path parameter is specified it gets ignored. While the queue_if_no_path variable is correctly set to 1, the saved_queue_if_no_path gets set to 0. When the device is subsequently made live (resumed), the saved value (0) always overwrites the live value (1) so the option *always* gets turned off. The fix adds a parameter to the queue_if_no_path() function to indicate whether the previous value should be preserved or not - if not, as when the device is being set up, the saved value is set to the new value (1).

If anything is waiting on a device's table when the device is removed, we must first wake it up so it will release its reference. Otherwise the table's reference count will not drop to zero and the table will not get removed.

The following patch makes swsusp avoid problems during resume if there are too many pages to save on suspend. It adds a constant that allows us to verify if we are going to save too many pages and implements the check (this is done as early as we can tell that the check will trigger, which is in swsusp_alloc()).

Mikey and I were testing kexec and hit a lockup. It turns out gcc 4.0 optimises the kexec_prepare_cpus loop so we avoid reloading paca.hw_cpu_id. A gcc barrier() fixes the problem.

This should resolve the issue seen in bugme bug #5105, where it is assumed that dualcore x86_64 systems have synced TSCs. This is not the case, and alternate timesources should be used instead. For more details, see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5105 Andi's earlier concerns that the TSCs should be synced on dualcore systems have been resolved by confirmation from AMD folks that they can be unsynced.

The following patch removes some wrong code from the data_free() function in swsusp. This function could only be called if there's an error while writing the suspend image to swap, so it is not triggered easily. However, if triggered, it would probably corrupt some memory.

Fid management cleanup. The patch attempts to fix the races in dentry's fid management. Dentries don't keep the opened fids anymore, they are moved to the file structs. Ideally there should be no more than one fid with fidcreate equal to zero in the dentry's list of fids. v9fs_fid_create initializes the important fields (fid, fidcreated) before v9fs_fid is added to the list. v9fs_fid_lookup returns only fids that are not created by v9fs_create. v9fs_fid_get_created returns the fid created by the same process by v9fs_create (if any) and removes it from dentry's list Signed-off-by: Latchesar Ionkov <lucho@ionkov.net> Cc: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Move the ZERO_PAGE remapping complexity to the move_pte macro in asm-generic, have it conditionally depend on __HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, which gets defined for MIPS. For architectures without __HAVE_ARCH_MULTIPLE_ZERO_PAGE, move_pte becomes a noop. From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Fix nasty little bug we've missed in Nick's mremap move ZERO_PAGE patch. The "pte" at that point may be a swap entry or a pte_file entry: we must check pte_present before perhaps corrupting such an entry. Patch below against 2.6.14-rc2-mm1, but the same bug is in 2.6.14-rc2's mm/mremap.c, and more dangerous there since it's affecting all arches: I think the safest course is to send Nick's patch and Yoichi's build fix and this fix (build tested) on to Linus - so only MIPS can be affected.

Fix interrupt test handler by adding check for IRQ assertion in PCI_STATE register in addition to the status block updated bit. Add test for valid ethernet address in tg3_set_mac_addr(). Add tg3_bus_string() to setup the PCI bus speed/width string for all PCI/PCIX/PCI Express devices. This is used to print the bus type during init_one().

Fix 5780 PHY related problems: 1. MAC_RX_MODE reset must be done before setting up the MAC_MODE register on 5705_PLUS chips or the chip will stop receiving after a while. The MAC_RX_MODE reset is needed to prevent intermittently losing the first receive packet on serdes chips. 2. Skip MAC loopback test on 5780 because of hardware errata. Normal traffic including PHY loopback is not affected by the errata. 3. PHY loopback fails intermittently on 5708S and this is fixed by putting the PHY in loopback mode first before programming the MAC mode register. A MAC_RX_MODE reset is also added. 4. Return -EINVAL in tg3_nway_reset() if device is in TBI mode. Allow nway_reset if 5780S is in parallel detect mode. 5. Add missing PHY IDs in KNOWN_PHY_ID() macro.

arm maketools needs include/asm-arm in place in the build tree. On normal builds it's always there, of course, but on O= it's created (by generic code) too late - when we get to asm-offset.h. We used to get away with that by accident - creation of include/asm-arm/arch symlink creates include/asm-arm and it happened to go before maketools. However, we did not have such dependency, so that luck didn't last - now maketools is picked first and we are screwed. Both the symlink and maketools are prerequisites of the same target (archprepare). This fix is obvious - make the latter explicitly depend on the former and be done with that.

In order to do it correctly on UltraSPARC-III+ and later we'd need to add some complicated code to set the TAG access extension register before loading the TLB. Since this optimization gives questionable gains, it's best to just remove it for now instead of adding the fix for Ultra-III+ Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
