All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which
results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the
page is already found dirty.
This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting
balance_dirty_pages(). Not good (tm).
Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.

It turns out that there are a few other five-second timers in the
kernel, and if the timers get in sync, the load-average can get
artificially inflated by events that just happen to coincide.
So just offset the load average calculation it by a timer tick.
Noticed by Anders Boström, for whom the coincidence started triggering
on one of his machines with the JBD jiffies rounding code (JBD is one of
the subsystems that also end up using a 5-second timer by default).

Depending on the transition latency of the HW for cpufreq switches, the
ondemand or conservative governor cannot be used with certain cpufreq
drivers. Still the ondemand should be the default governor on a wide range
of systems. This patch allows this and lets the governor fallback to the
performance governor at cpufreq driver load time, if the driver does not
support fast enough frequency switching.
Main benefit is that on e.g. installation or other systems without
userspace support a working dynamic cpufreq support can be achieved on most
systems by simply loading the cpufreq driver. This is especially essential
for recent x86(_64) laptop hardware which may rely on working dynamic
cpufreq OS support.

This is the latest version of the MMC-over-SPI support. It works
on 2.6.23-rc2 plus git-mmc (from rc1-mm2), along with the preceding
patches which teach the rest of the MMC stack about SPI.
The main issue of note is that sometimes cards need to be power cycled

to disable CRCs. ("modprobe mmc_core use_spi_crc=n")

Before a driver is probed, set the function's block size to the default so the
driver is sure the block size is something sensible and it needn't explicitly
set it.
The default block size is the largest that's supported by both the card and
the host, with a maximum of 512 to ensure aribitrarily sized transfer use the
optimal (least) number of commands.
See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/7/150 for reasons for the block size choice.

The Maple bus is SEGA's proprietary serial bus for peripherals
(keyboard, mouse, controller etc). The bus is capable of some
(limited) hotplugging and operates at up to 2 M/bits.
Drivers of one sort or another existed/exist for 2.4 and a rudimentary
port, which didn't support the 2.6 device driver model was also in
existence.
This driver - for the bus logic itself and for the keyboard (other
drivers will follow) are based on the code and concepts of those old
drivers but have lots of completely rewritten parts.
I have the maple bus code as a built in now as that seems the sane and
rational way to handle something like that - you either want the bus
or you don't.

This simplifies signalfd code, by avoiding it to remain attached to the
sighand during its lifetime.
In this way, the signalfd remain attached to the sighand only during
poll(2) (and select and epoll) and read(2). This also allows to remove
all the custom "tsk == current" checks in kernel/signal.c, since
dequeue_signal() will only be called by "current".
I think this is also what Ben was suggesting time ago.
The external effect of this, is that a thread can extract only its own
private signals and the group ones. I think this is an acceptable
behaviour, in that those are the signals the thread would be able to
fetch w/out signalfd.

This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the
page allocation paths and in show_numa_map(). Extracted from my "Memory
Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone.
Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy,
but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the
numa map data.
Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor
should the current task's task policy. However, show_numa_map() calls
get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy.
The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy.
This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by
get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's
mempolicy. Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup. A
matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for
shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another
task's mempolicy. We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly
inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy.
Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier.
huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma
'BIND policy. In this case, we should hold the reference until after the
huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage(). The patch modifies
huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be
unref'd after allocation.

It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in
exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the
put_task_struct(), i.e. MUCH later.
On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in
uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the
struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned.
Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e.
when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from
it during the namespace exiting. The subsequent free_uid() will complete the
user_struct destruction.
For example simple program
#include <sched.h>
char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024];
int f(void *foo)
{
return 0;
}
int main(void)
{
clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0);
return 0;
}
run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the
kernel immediately.
This was spotted during OpenVZ kernel testing.

To start with, arch_notes_size() etc. is a little too ambiguous a name for
my liking, so change the function names to be more explicit.
Calling through macros is ugly, especially with hidden parameters, so don't
do that, call the routines directly.
Use ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_ELF_NOTES as the only flag, and based on it decide
whether we want the extern declarations or the empty versions.
Since we have empty routines, actually use them in the coredump code to
save a few #ifdefs.
We want to change the handling of foffset so that the write routine updates
foffset as it goes, instead of using file->f_pos (so that writing to a pipe
works). So pass foffset to the write routine, and for now just set it to
file->f_pos at the end of writing.
It should also be possible for the write routine to fail, so change it to
return int and treat a non-zero return as failure.
