If qib_init() fails, the driver fails to free memory, unregister
device files, and unregister with the PCIe framework. The driver will
unload without error but a subsequent driver load will cause the
system to panic. This was found by changing the 7220 code to load the
serdes microcode separately and not installing the microcode file.

Workqueues aren't exactly equivalent to tasklets since the callback
function may be called from multiple CPUs before the callback returns.
This causes completion notification callbacks to have MT bugs since
they weren't expecting this behavior. The fix is to use a single
threaded work queue.

The T4 IQ hw design assumes CIDX_INC credits will be returned on a
regular basis and always before the CIDX counter crosses over the PIDX
counter. For RDMA CQs, however, returning CIDX_INC credits is only
needed and desired when and if the CQ is armed for notification. This
can lead to a GTS write returning credits that causes the HW to reject
the credit update because it causes CIDX to pass PIDX. Once this
happens, the CIDX/PIDX counters get out of whack and an application
can miss a notification and get stuck blocked awaiting a notification.
To avoid this, we allocate the HW IQ 2x times the requested size.
This seems to avoid the false overflow failures. If we see more
issues with this, then we'll have to add code in the poll path to
return credits periodically like when the amount reaches 1/2 the queue
depth). I would like to avoid this as it adds a PCI write transaction
for applications that never arm the CQ (like most MPIs).

enter_lmode() and exit_lmode() modify the guest's EFER.LMA before calling
vmx_set_efer(). However, the latter function depends on the value of EFER.LMA
to determine whether MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE needs reloading, via
vmx_load_host_state(). With EFER.LMA changing under its feet, it took the
wrong choice and corrupted userspace's %gs.
This causes 32-on-64 host userspace to fault.
Fix not touching EFER.LMA; instead ask vmx_set_efer() to change it.

First remove items from work_list as soon as we start working on them. This
means we don't have to track any pending or visited state and can get
rid of all the RCU magic freeing the work items - we can simply free
them once the operation has finished. Second use a real completion for
tracking synchronous requests - if the caller sets the completion pointer
we complete it, otherwise use it as a boolean indicator that we can free
the work item directly. Third unify struct wb_writeback_args and struct
bdi_work into a single data structure, wb_writeback_work. Previous we
set all parameters into a struct wb_writeback_args, copied it into
struct bdi_work, copied it again on the stack to use it there. Instead
of just allocate one structure dynamically or on the stack and use it
all the way through the stack.

The case where we have a superblock doesn't require a loop here as we scan
over all inodes in writeback_sb_inodes. Split it out into a separate helper
to make the code simpler. This also allows to get rid of the sb member in
struct writeback_control, which was rather out of place there.
Also update the comments in writeback_sb_inodes that explain the handling
of inodes from wrong superblocks.

bridge: Restore NULL check in br_mdb_ip_get
Somewhere along the line the NULL check in br_mdb_ip_get went
AWOL, causing crashes when we receive an IGMP packet with no
multicast table allocated.
This patch restores it and ensures all br_mdb_*_get functions
use it.

netif_vdbg() was originally defined as entirely equivalent to
netdev_vdbg(), but I assume that it was intended to take the same
parameters as netif_dbg() etc. (Currently it is only used by the
sfc driver, in which I worked on that assumption.)
In commit a4ed89c I changed the definition used when VERBOSE_DEBUG is
not defined, but I failed to notice that the definition used when
VERBOSE_DEBUG is defined was also not as I expected. Change that to
match netif_dbg() as well.

A message can be on a queue (pending or sent), or out_msg (sending), or
both. We were assuming that if it's not on a queue it couldn't be out_msg,
but that was false in the case of lossy connections like the OSD. Fix
ceph_con_revoke() to treat these cases independently. Also, fix the
out_kvec_is_message check to only trigger if we are currently sending
_this_ message.
This fixes a GPF in tcp_sendpage, triggered by OSD restarts.

When trying to netboot a Linksys WRT54GS WLAN router, the bootup fails,
because of following error message:
...
[ 0.424000] b44: b44.c:v2.0
[ 0.424000] b44: Invalid MAC address found in EEPROM
[ 0.432000] b44 ssb0:1: Problem fetching invariants of chip,aborting
[ 0.436000] b44: probe of ssb0:1 failed with error -22
...
The router uses a CFE bootloader, but most of the needed environment
variables for network card initialization, are not available from CFE
via printenv and even though not via cfe_getenv().
The required environment variables are saved in a special partition
in flash memory. The attached patch implement nvram_getenv and enables
bootup via NFS root on my router.
Most of the patch is extracted from the OpenWrt subversion repository and
stripped down and cleaned up to just fix this issue.

This patch adds an inline function in_module() to check which space the
instruction pointer in, kernel space or module space.
Note: This will not work when the kernel space and module space are the
same. If they are the same, we need to modify scripts/recordmcount.pl,
ftrace_make_nop/call() and the other related parts to ensure the
enabling/disabling of the calling site to _mcount is right for both
kernel and module.

With the help of uasm this patch encodes the instructions of the dynamic
function tracer in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() when initializing it.
As a result we can remove the dynamic encoding of instructions in
ftrace_make_nop()/call(), ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() and remove
the macro jump_insn_encode() and at last this reduce the overhead of
dynamic Function Tracer. This also is cleaner.

When the PCI SSID gives an overriding SKU assno, PC-beep bit isn't
detected (since it's located over 16bit), resulting in no PC beep.
Also, many devices seem ignoring the requirement by Realtek's spec
for SSID numbers, and it also confuses the PC beep detection.
This patch assumes the PC beep is available on every machine with
PCI SSID override. It's a regression fix from 2.6.34.

Reimplement augmented RB-trees without sprinkling extra branches
all over the RB-tree code (which lives in the scheduler hot path).
This approach is 'borrowed' from Fabio's BFQ implementation and
relies on traversing the rebalance path after the RB-tree-op to
correct the heap property for insertion/removal and make up for
the damage done by the tree rotations.
For insertion the rebalance path is trivially that from the new
node upwards to the root, for removal it is that from the deepest
node in the path from the to be removed node that will still
be around after the removal.

Changes the Perf --version string such that it shows the kernel
version as suggested by Ingo as follows:
That way the perf that comes with v2.6.34 will be:
perf version v2.6.34
while interim versions will have the version of the interim
kernel - for example:
perf version v2.6.35-rc4-70-g39ef13a
This functionality was already in the perf version generator
file except that it was looking for a .git in the perf directory
instead of the kernel directory.
