266bee8869 [PATCH] fix static linking of NFS
Builds on ARM report link problems with common configurations like
statically linked NFS (for nfsroot).  The symptom is that __init
section code references __exit section code; that won't work since
the exit sections are discarded (since they can never be called).

The best fix for these particular cases would be an "__init_or_exit"
section annotation.

87937472ff [PATCH] i386: export memory more than 4G through /proc/iomem
Currently /proc/iomem exports physical memory also apart from io device
memory.  But on i386, it truncates any memory more than 4GB.  This leads to
problems for kexec/kdump.

Kexec reads /proc/iomem to determine the system memory layout and prepares a
memory map based on that and passes it to the kernel being kexeced.  Given the
fact that memory more than 4GB has been truncated, new kernel never gets to
see and use that memory.

Kdump also reads /proc/iomem to determine the physical memory layout of the
system and encodes this informaiton in ELF headers.  After a crash new kernel
parses these ELF headers being used by previous kernel and vmcore is prepared
accordingly.  As memory more than 4GB has been truncated, kdump never sees
that memory and never prepares ELF headers for it.  Hence vmcore is truncated
and limited to 4GB even if there is more physical memory in the system.

This patch exports memory more than 4GB through /proc/iomem on i386.

3bdad7bd25 [SCSI] fc transport: bug fix: correct references
Original post was incorrect as it didn't realize that we already had
a self-referenc due to device_initialize(), and we were really only
missing the put on our own reference. This was hidden by the other bug
which had the midlayer reusing stargets after they were already free,
which was doing too many puts on our rport.

Updating FC transport for:
- Add put in fc_rport_final_delete(), to release the rport.
  Prior, we were leaving the rport with a reference, thus the shost
  with references, etc. If the driver was unloaded, shosts and rports
  remained, along with work threads, etc
- Fix fc_rport_create failure path - too many put's on parent
- Add commenting to easily track ref taking.

a0785edff7 [SCSI] fc transport: resolve scan vs delete deadlocks
In a prior posting to linux-scsi on the fc transport and workq
deadlocks, we noted a second error that did not have a patch:
  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114467847711383&w=2
  - There's a deadlock where scsi_remove_target() has to sit behind
    scsi_scan_target() due to contention over the scan_lock().

Subsequently we posted a request for comments about the deadlock:
  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114469358829500&w=2

This posting resolves the second error. Here's what we now understand,
and are implementing:

  If the lldd deletes the rport while a scan is active, the sdev's queue
  is blocked which stops the issuing of commands associated with the scan.
  At this point, the scan stalls, and does so with the shost->scan_mutex held.
  If, at this point, if any scan or delete request is made on the host, it
  will stall waiting for the scan_mutex.

  For the FC transport, we queue all delete work to a single workq.
  So, things worked fine when competing with the scan, as long as the
  target blocking the scan was the same target at the top of our delete
  workq, as the delete workq routine always unblocked just prior to
  requesting the delete.  Unfortunately, if the top of our delete workq
  was for a different target, we deadlock.  Additionally, if the target
  blocking scan returned, we were unblocking it in the scan workq routine,
  which really won't execute until the existing stalled scan workq
  completes (e.g. we're re-scheduling it while it is in the midst of its
  execution).

  This patch moves the unblock out of the workq routines and moves it to
  the context that is scheduling the work. This ensures that at some point,
  we will unblock the target that is blocking scan.  Please note, however,
  that the deadlock condition may still occur while it waits for the
  transport to timeout an unblock on a target.  Worst case, this is bounded
  by the transport dev_loss_tmo (default: 30 seconds).

Finally, Michael Reed deserves the credit for the bulk of this patch,
analysis, and it's testing. Thank you for your help.

Note: The request for comments statements about the gross-ness of the
  scan_mutex still stand.

2c887e2359 [JFFS2][XATTR] Re-define xd->refcnt as atomic_t
In jffs2_release_xattr_datum(), it refers xd->refcnt to ensure

355ed4e141 [JFFS2][XATTR] Fix memory leak with jffs2_xattr_ref
If xattr_ref is associated with an orphan inode_cache
on filesystem mounting, those xattr_refs are not
released even if this inode_cache is released.

This patch enables to call jffs2_xattr_delete_inode()
for such a irregular inode_cachde too.

8a13695cbe [JFFS2][XATTR] rid unnecessary writing of delete marker.
In the followinf situation, an explicit delete marker is not
necessary, because we can certainlly detect those obsolete
xattr_datum or xattr_ref on next mounting.

- When to delete xattr_datum node.
- When to delete xattr_ref node on removing inode.
- When to delete xattr_ref node on updating xattr.

This patch rids writing delete marker in those situations.
