There are several places where we make allocations with GFP_KERNEL while under a transaction, which could lead to an assertion panic or lockup if under memory pressure. This patch switches these problem areas to use GFP_NOFS to keep these problems from happening.

ibmpex's temperature sensors report incorrect units. Apply a conversion factor so that tempertures report correctly.

The check t->pid == t->pid is not the blessed way to check whether a task is a group leader. This is not about the code beautifulness only, but about pid namespaces fixes - both the tgid and the pid fields on the task_struct are (slowly :( ) becoming deprecated. Besides, the thread_group_leader() macro makes only one dereference :) Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Exposing the binary blob which is the md 'super-block' via sysfs doesn't really fit with the whole sysfs model, and ever since commit 8118a859 ("sysfs: fix off-by-one error in fill_read_buffer()") it doesn't actually work at all (as the size of the blob is often one page). (akpm: as in, fs/sysfs/file.c:fill_read_buffer() goes BUG) So just remove it altogether. It isn't really useful.

My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come and it never would. We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP. The hang only occurred on a Xeon box ("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe"). On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all two processors on the Core2Duo we use. My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop in read_events(), what happens on processor #1: 1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait 2) aio_read_evt() to check tail 3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep In aio_complete() with processor #2: A) info->tail = tail; B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait) C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up() The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors (checked in step 2) before step B is done. The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2 cache not shared by some of the other processors. Imagine: proc 2: just before step A proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events proc 2, step A: updates tail proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B. It ensures that the update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing. If processor 1 was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail). Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time. After the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.

Now that we handle all the special commands using REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE rather than using the old REQ_TYPE_ATA_CMD model, we need to also emulate the lack of full taskfile data that comes with the old command model (ie when commands are generated with the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl rather than using the HDIO_DRIVE_TASK[FILE] ioctls). In particular, this means that we should handle command completion the more relaxed way that the old drive_cmd_intr() code did. It allows commands to finish early even if they don't use up all the data that we thought we had for them. This fixes a regression seen by Anders Eriksson where some SMART commands sent by smartd would cause a boot-time system hang on his machine because the IDE command handling code didn't realize that the command had completed.

improve affine wakeups. Maintain the 'overlap' metric based on CFS's sum_exec_runtime - which means the amount of time a task executes after it wakes up some other task. Use the 'overlap' for the wakeup decisions: if the 'overlap' is short, it means there's strong workload coupling between this task and the woken up task. If the 'overlap' is large then the workload is decoupled and the scheduler will move them to separate CPUs more easily. ( Also slightly move the preempt_check within try_to_wake_up() - this has no effect on functionality but allows 'early wakeups' (for still-on-rq tasks) to be correctly accounted as well.)

The DMA_INTERRUPT async_tx is a NULL transfer, thus the BCR(count register) is 0. When the transfer started with a byte count of zero, the DMA controller will triger a PE(programming error) event and halt, not a normal interrupt.

KEY_CYCLEWINDOWS doesn't name the function of Mac OS X' Expose properly and because we couldn't find a better key code, we decided to use KEY_FN_F4 instead.
