ead7077360 memstick: automatically retrieve "INT" value from command response
MemoryStick storage cards, when in parallel mode, send several meaningful bits
of their "INT" register as part of command response.  This data is stored by
host and can be used to spare invocation of "GET_INT" TPC on each data page
transferred between host and card.

ae66be9b71 rcu: fix misplaced mb() in rcu_enter/exit_nohz()
In the process of writing up the mechanical proof of correctness for the
dynticks/preemptable-RCU interface, I noticed misplaced memory barriers in
rcu_enter_nohz() and rcu_exit_nohz().

This patch puts them in the right place and adds a comment.  The key thing to
keep in mind is that rcu_enter_nohz() is -exiting- the mode that can legally
execute RCU read-side critical sections.

The memory barrier must be between any potential RCU read-side critical
sections and the increment of the per-CPU dynticks_progress_counter, and thus
must come -before- this increment.  And vice versa for rcu_exit_nohz().

The locking in the scheduler is probably saving us for the moment.

Also, switch to smp_mb() - we don't need a barrier for uniprocessor kernels.

f22d6d79fe NFS: Save the value of the "port=" mount option
During a remount based on the mount options displayed in /proc/mounts, we
want to preserve the original behavior of the mount request.  Let's save
the original setting of the "port=" mount option in the mount's nfs_server
structure.

This allows us to simplify the default behavior of port setting for NFSv4
mounts: by default, NFSv2/3 mounts first try an RPC bind to determine the
NFS server's port, unless the user specified the "port=" mount option;
Users can force the client to skip the RPC bind by explicitly specifying
"port=<value>".

NFSv4, by contrast, assumes the NFS server port is 2049 and skips the RPC
bind, unless the user specifies "port=".  Users can force an RPC bind for
NFSv4 by explicitly specifying "port=0".

I added a couple of extra comments to clarify this behavior.

4ae7d5cefd sched: improve affine wakeups
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 problem can be triggered with a high amount of host->guest traffic.
I think its the following race:

poll says netif_rx_complete
poll calls enable_cb
enable_cb opens the interrupt mask
a new packet comes, an interrupt is triggered----\
enable_cb sees that there is more work           |
enable_cb disables the interrupt                 |
       .                                         V
       .                            interrupt is delivered
       .                            skb_recv_done does atomic napi test, ok
 some waiting                       disable_cb is called->check fails->bang!
       .
poll would do napi check
poll would do disable_cb

The fix is to let enable_cb not disable the interrupt again, but expect the
caller to do the cleanup if it returns false. In that case, the interrupt is
only disabled, if the napi test_set_bit was successful.

c20a84c910 [PARISC] futex: special case cmpxchg NULL in kernel space
Commit a0c1e9073e added code to futex.c
to detect whether futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic was implemented at run
time:

+       curval = cmpxchg_futex_value_locked(NULL, 0, 0);
+       if (curval == -EFAULT)
+               futex_cmpxchg_enabled = 1;

This is bogus on parisc, since page zero in kernel virtual space is the
gateway page for syscall entry, and should not be read from the kernel.
(That, and we really don't like the kernel faulting on its own address
 space...)

Commit 721fdf3416 introduced a subtle bug
by accidently removing the "static" from iodc_dbuf. This resulted in, what
appeared to be, a trap without *current set to a task. Probably the result of
a trap in real mode while calling firmware.

Also do other misc clean ups. Since the only input from firmware is non
blocking, share iodc_dbuf between input and output, and spinlock the
only callers.

Add an rpc credential that is not tied to any particular auth mechanism,
but that can be cached by NFS, and later used to look up a cred for
whichever auth mechanism that turns out to be valid when the RPC call is
being made.

af09383577 SUNRPC: Fix RPCAUTH_LOOKUP_ROOTCREDS
The current RPCAUTH_LOOKUP_ROOTCREDS flag only works for AUTH_SYS
authentication, and then only as a special case in the code. This patch
removes the auth_sys special casing, and replaces it with generic code.

posix_types.h and byteorder.h were sticking purely with the Kconfig

Fixes a very unhelpful build error in current klibc.

cc74d96f47 PCI: fix issue with busses registering multiple times in sysfs
PCI busses can be registered multiple times, so we need to detect if we
have registered our bus structure in sysfs already.  If so, don't do it
again.

Thanks to Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de> for reporting
the problem, and to Linus for poking me to get me to believe that it was
a real problem.

f1dd9c379c [NET]: Fix tbench regression in 2.6.25-rc1
Comparing with kernel 2.6.24, tbench result has regression with
2.6.25-rc1.

1) On 2 quad-core processor stoakley: 4%.
2) On 4 quad-core processor tigerton: more than 30%.

bisect located below patch.

    [IPV6]: Move nfheader_len into rt6_info

    The dst member nfheader_len is only used by IPv6.  It's also currently
    creating a rather ugly alignment hole in struct dst.  Therefore this patch
    moves it from there into struct rt6_info.

Above patch changes the cache line alignment, especially member
__refcnt. I did a testing by adding 2 unsigned long pading before
lastuse, so the 3 members, lastuse/__refcnt/__use, are moved to next
cache line. The performance is recovered.

I created a patch to rearrange the members in struct dst_entry.

With Eric and Valdis Kletnieks's suggestion, I made finer arrangement.

1) Move tclassid under ops in case CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y. So
   sizeof(dst_entry)=200 no matter if CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y/n. I
   tested many patches on my 16-core tigerton by moving tclassid to
   different place. It looks like tclassid could also have impact on
   performance.  If moving tclassid before metrics, or just don't move
   tclassid, the performance isn't good. So I move it behind metrics.

2) Add comments before __refcnt.

On 16-core tigerton:

If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y, the result with below patch is about 18%
better than the one without the patch;

If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=n, the result with below patch is about 30%
better than the one without the patch.

With 32bit 2.6.25-rc1 on 8-core stoakley, the new patch doesn't
introduce regression.

Thank Eric, Valdis, and David!
