When a writeback_control's `start' and `end' fields are used to
indicate a one-byte-range starting at file offset zero, the required
values of .start=0,.end=0 mean that the ->writepages() implementation
has no way of telling that it is being asked to perform a range
request. Because we're currently overloading (start == 0 && end == 0)
to mean "this is not a write-a-range request".
To make all this sane, the patch changes range of writeback_control.
So caller does: If it is calling ->writepages() to write pages, it
sets range (range_start/end or range_cyclic) always.
And if range_cyclic is true, ->writepages() thinks the range is
cyclic, otherwise it just uses range_start and range_end.
This patch does,
- Add LLONG_MAX, LLONG_MIN, ULLONG_MAX to include/linux/kernel.h
-1 is usually ok for range_end (type is long long). But, if someone did,
range_end += val; range_end is "val - 1"
u64val = range_end >> bits; u64val is "~(0ULL)"
or something, they are wrong. So, this adds LLONG_MAX to avoid nasty
things, and uses LLONG_MAX for range_end.
- All callers of ->writepages() sets range_start/end or range_cyclic.
- Fix updates of ->writeback_index. It seems already bit strange.
If it starts at 0 and ended by check of nr_to_write, this last
index may reduce chance to scan end of file. So, this updates
->writeback_index only if range_cyclic is true or whole-file is
scanned.

The comment states: 'Setting a tag on a not-present item is a BUG.' Hence
if 'index' is larger than the maxindex; the item _cannot_ be presen; it
should also be a BUG.
Also, this allows the following statement (assume a fresh tree):
radix_tree_tag_set(root, 16, 1);
to fail silently, but when preceded by:
radix_tree_insert(root, 32, item);
it would BUG, because the height has been extended by the insert.

As explained by Manfred, when we are freeing an object, both redzones

The ability to have height 0 radix trees (a direct pointer to the data item
rather than going through a full node->slot) quietly disappeared with
old-2.6-bkcvs commit ffee171812d51652f9ba284302d9e5c5cc14bdfd. On 64-bit
machines this causes nearly 600 bytes to be used for every <= 4K file in
pagecache.
Re-introduce this feature, root tags stored in spare ->gfp_mask bits.
Simplify radix_tree_delete's complex tag clearing arrangement (which would
become even more complex) by just falling back to tag clearing functions
(the pagecache radix-tree never uses this path anyway, so the icache
savings will mean it's actually a speedup).
On my 4GB G5, this saves 8MB RAM per kernel kernel source+object tree in
pagecache.
Pagecache lookup, insertion, and removal speed for small files will also be
improved.
This makes RCU radix tree harder, but it's worth it.

Rework the swsusp's memory shrinker in the following way:
- Simplify balance_pgdat() by removing all of the swsusp-related code
from it.
- Make shrink_all_memory() use shrink_slab() and a new function
shrink_all_zones() which calls shrink_active_list() and
shrink_inactive_list() directly for each zone in a way that's optimized
for suspend.
In shrink_all_memory() we try to free exactly as many pages as the caller
asks for, preferably in one shot, starting from easier targets. If slab
caches are huge, they are most likely to have enough pages to reclaim.
The inactive lists are next (the zones with more inactive pages go first)
etc.
Each time shrink_all_memory() attempts to shrink the active and inactive
lists for each zone in 5 passes. In the first pass, only the inactive
lists are taken into consideration. In the next two passes the active
lists are also shrunk, but mapped pages are not reclaimed. In the last
two passes the active and inactive lists are shrunk and mapped pages are
reclaimed as well. The aim of this is to alter the reclaim logic to choose
the best pages to keep on resume and improve the responsiveness of the
resumed system.

Current hugetlb strict accounting for shared mapping always assume mapping
starts at zero file offset and reserves pages between zero and size of the

necessary if application maps at none zero file offset. libhugetlbfs is
one example that requires proper reservation on shared mapping starts at
none zero offset.
This patch extends the reservation and hugetlb strict accounting to support
any arbitrary pair of (offset, len), resulting a much more robust and

The buddy allocator has a requirement that boundaries between contigious
zones occur aligned with the the MAX_ORDER ranges. Where they do not we
will incorrectly merge pages cross zone boundaries. This can lead to pages
from the wrong zone being handed out.
Originally the buddy allocator would check that buddies were in the same
zone by referencing the zone start and end page frame numbers. This was
removed as it became very expensive and the buddy allocator already made
the assumption that zones boundaries were aligned.
It is clear that not all configurations and architectures are honouring
this alignment requirement. Therefore it seems safest to reintroduce
support for non-aligned zone boundaries. This patch introduces a new check
when considering a page a buddy it compares the zone_table index for the
two pages and refuses to merge the pages where they do not match. The
zone_table index is unique for each node/zone combination when
FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM is enabled and for each section/zone combination when
SPARSEMEM is enabled (a SPARSEMEM section is at least a MAX_ORDER size).

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

The idea is to tap into the potential savings of TSO without hardware

before the entry point into the NIC driver.

UFO and segmentation offload for other relevant protocols, e.g., DCCP.

Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP). So
let's merge them.
They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been
subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev
feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
field.
I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type
(e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would
have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need
to be emulated in software.

The dev_deactivate function has bit-rotted since the introduction of
lockless drivers. In particular, the spin_unlock_wait call at the end
has no effect on the xmit routine of lockless drivers.
With a little bit of work, we can make it much more useful by providing
the guarantee that when it returns, no more calls to the xmit routine
of the underlying driver will be made.
The idea is simple. There are two entry points in to the xmit routine.
The first comes from dev_queue_xmit. That one is easily stopped by
using synchronize_rcu. This works because we set the qdisc to noop_qdisc
before the synchronize_rcu call. That in turn causes all subsequent
packets sent to dev_queue_xmit to be dropped. The synchronize_rcu call
also ensures all outstanding calls leave their critical section.
The other entry point is from qdisc_run. Since we now have a bit that
indicates whether it's running, all we have to do is to wait until the
bit is off.
I've removed the loop to wait for __LINK_STATE_SCHED to clear. This is
useless because netif_wake_queue can cause it to be set again. It is
also harmless because we've disarmed qdisc_run.
I've also removed the spin_unlock_wait on xmit_lock because its only
purpose of making sure that all outstanding xmit_lock holders have
exited is also given by dev_watchdog_down.

We need to update hiscore.rule even if we don't enable CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY,
because we have more less significant rule; longest match.

Two additional labels (RFC 3484, sec. 10.3) for IPv6 addreses
are defined to make a distinction between global unicast
addresses and Unique Local Addresses (fc00::/7, RFC 4193) and
Teredo (2001::/32, RFC 4380). It is necessary to avoid attempts
of connection that would either fail (eg. fec0:: to 2001:feed::)
or be sub-optimal (2001:0:: to 2001:feed::).

First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since
the existing one is not shared. More importantly, our hard_start_xmit
interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks
requeueing.
This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize
it if needed. Actually, someone should sift through every instance of
skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was
originally created.
Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump,
TCP, etc.). As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb. Because
of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still
it's best if we don't do it.

[PATCH] Driver core: fix locking issues with the devices that are attached to classes
[PATCH] USB: get USB suspend to work again
Yeah, it's a hack, but it is only temporary until Alan's patches
reworking this area make it in. We really should not care what devices
below us are doing, especially when we do not really know what type of
devices they are. This patch relies on the fact that the endpoint
devices do not have a driver assigned to us.
