fa30bd058b [PATCH] map multiple blocks for mpage_readpages()
This patch changes mpage_readpages() and get_block() to get the disk mapping
information for multiple blocks at the same time.

b_size represents the amount of disk mapping that needs to mapped.  On the
successful get_block() b_size indicates the amount of disk mapping thats
actually mapped.  Only the filesystems who care to use this information and
provide multiple disk blocks at a time can choose to do so.

No changes are needed for the filesystems who wants to ignore this.

205f87f6b3 [PATCH] change buffer_head.b_size to size_t
Increase the size of the buffer_head b_size field (only) for 64 bit platforms.
Update some old and moldy comments in and around the structure as well.

The b_size increase allows us to perform larger mappings and allocations for
large I/O requests from userspace, which tie in with other changes allowing
the get_block_t() interface to map multiple blocks at once.

d48589bfad [PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Adjust reservation window size for mblocks
Optimize the block reservation and the multiple block allocation: with the
knowledge of the total number of blocks ahead, set or adjust the reservation
window size properly (based on the number of blocks needed) before block
allocation happens: if there isn't any reservation yet, make sure the
reservation window equals to or greater than the number of blocks needed,
before create an reservation window; if a reservation window is already
exists, try to extends the window size to match the number of blocks to
allocate.  This could increase the possibility of completing multiple blocks
allocation in a single request, as blocks are only allocated in the range of
the inode's reservation window.

Add support for multiple block allocation in ext3-get-blocks().

Look up the disk block mapping and count the total number of blocks to

just allocated blocks info and finally splice the whole branch into the block

89747d369d [PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Mapping multiple blocks at a once
Currently ext3_get_block() only maps or allocates one block at a time.  This
is quite inefficient for sequential IO workload.

I have posted a early implements a simply multiple block map and allocation
with current ext3.  The basic idea is allocating the 1st block in the existing
way, and attempting to allocate the next adjacent blocks on a best effort
basis.  More description about the implementation could be found here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=112162230003522&w=2

The following the latest version of the patch: break the original patch into 5
patches, re-worked some logicals, and fixed some bugs.  The break ups are:

 [patch 1] Adding map multiple blocks at a time in ext3_get_blocks()
 [patch 2] Extend ext3_get_blocks() to support multiple block allocation
 [patch 3] Implement multiple block allocation in ext3-try-to-allocate
 (called via ext3_new_block()).
 [patch 4] Proper accounting updates in ext3_new_blocks()
 [patch 5] Adjust reservation window size properly (by the given number
 of blocks to allocate) before block allocation to increase the
 possibility of allocating multiple blocks in a single call.

Tests done so far includes fsx,tiobench and dbench.  The following numbers
collected from Direct IO tests (1G file creation/read) shows the system time
have been greatly reduced (more than 50% on my 8 cpu system) with the patches.

 1G file DIO write:
 	2.6.15		2.6.15+patches
 real    0m31.275s	0m31.161s
 user    0m0.000s	0m0.000s
 sys     0m3.384s	0m0.564s

 1G file DIO read:
 	2.6.15		2.6.15+patches
 real    0m30.733s	0m30.624s
 user    0m0.000s	0m0.004s
 sys     0m0.748s	0m0.380s

Some previous test we did on buffered IO with using multiple blocks allocation
and delayed allocation shows noticeable improvement on throughput and system
time.

This patch:

Add support of mapping multiple blocks in one call.

This is useful for DIO reads and re-writes (where blocks are already
allocated), also is in line with Christoph's proposal of using getblocks() in
mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages().

e2d53f9525 [PATCH] 2TB files: change type of kstatfs entries
This fix was proposed by Trond Myklebust.  He says: The type "sector_t" is
heavily tied in to the block layer interface as an offset/handle to a block,
and is subject to a supposedly block-specific configuration option:
CONFIG_LBD.  Despite this, it is used in struct kstatfs to save a couple of
bytes on the stack whenever we call the filesystems' ->statfs().

So kstatfs's entries related to blocks are invalid on statfs64 for a network
filesystem which has more than 2^32-1 blocks when CONFIG_LBD is disabled.

- struct kstatfs
  Change the type of following entries from sector_t to u64.
  f_blocks
  f_bfree
  f_bavail
  f_files
  f_ffree

abcb6c9fd1 [PATCH] 2TB files: st_blocks is invalid when calling stat64
This patch series fixes the following problems on 32 bits architecture.

o stat64 returns the lower 32 bits of blocks, although userland st_blocks
  has 64 bits, because i_blocks has only 32 bits.  The ioctl with FIOQSIZE has
  the same problem.

o As Dave Kleikamp said, making >2TB file on JFS results in writing an
  invalid block number to disk inode.  The cause is the same as above too.

o In generic quota code dquot_transfer(), the file usage is calculated from
  i_blocks via inode_get_bytes().  If the file is over 2TB, the change of
  usage is less than expected.  The cause is the same as above too.

o As Trond Myklebust said, statfs64's entries related to blocks are invalid
  on statfs64 for a network filesystem which has more than 2^32-1 blocks with
  CONFIG_LBD disabled.  [PATCH 3/3]

We made patches to fix problems that occur when handling a large filesystem
and a large file.  It was discussed on the mails titled "stat64 for over 2TB
file returned invalid st_blocks".

9a98e2f732 [PATCH] remove fixup_cpu_present_map()
Since the addition of boot_cpu_init(), fixup_cpu_present_map() has been a
no-op.  That's because fixup_cpu_present_map() won't touch cpu_present_map if
it has any bits set, and boot_cpu_init() sets a bit.

So remove fixup_cpu_present_map().

A consequence of this (actually of the boot_cpu_init() change) is that the
architecture _must_ populate cpu_present_map itself (probably in
smp_prepare_cpus()).  fixup_cpu_present_map() won't do it any more.

If the architecture doesn't do this, it'll only bring up a single CPU.

The other side effect (though less serious) is that smp_prepare_boot_cpu() no
longer needs to mark the boot cpu in the online and present maps -
boot_cpu_init() does that for everyone (to make early printks work).

tlclk calls register_chrdev() and permits register_chrdev() to allocate the

present you still get "telco_clock" appearing in /proc/devices and, I assume,
an oops reading /proc/devices if tlclk was a module.

Fix.

Mark, I'd suggest that that we not call register_chrdev() until _after_ we've
established that the hardware is present.

88959ea968 [PATCH] create struct compat_timex and use it everywhere
We had a copy of the compatibility version of struct timex in each 64 bit
architecture.  This patch just creates a global one and replaces all the
usages of the old ones.

eb76b3fda1 [PATCH] NFSD4: return conflict lock without races
Update the NFSv4 server to use the new posix_lock_file_conf() interface.
Remove unnecessary (and race-prone) posix_test_file() calls.

5842add2f3 [PATCH] VFS,fs/locks.c,NFSD4: add race_free posix_lock_file_conf() interface
Lockd and the NFSv4 server both exercise a race condition where
posix_test_lock() is called either before or after posix_lock_file() to
deal with a denied lock request due to a conflicting lock.

Remove the race condition for the NFSv4 server by adding a new conflicting
lock parameter to __posix_lock_file() , changing the name to
__posix_lock_file_conf().

Keep posix_lock_file() interface, add posix_lock_conf() interface, both
call __posix_lock_file_conf().

fa3536cc14 [PATCH] Use __read_mostly on some hot fs variables
I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were
slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in
a cache line that contained inodes_stat.  So each time inodes_stats is
changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line.

This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to
avoid false sharing.  RCU dentry lookups can go full speed.

50c812b2b9 [PATCH] ipmi: add full sysfs support
Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver.  It links in the proper
bus and device support.

It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the
driver (as a device).  These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory.
 If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should
discover this and will only have one BMC entry.  The BMC entry will have
pointers to each interface device that connects to it.

The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been
ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later.

This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou.  I basically rewrote it using
that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :).

b0defcdbd2 [PATCH] ipmi: add generic PCI handling
Modify the PCI hanling code for the IPMI driver to use the new method of
tables and registering, and adds more generic PCI handling for IPMI.
Unfortunately, this required a rather large rework of the way the driver
did detection so it would be more event-driven.
