This makes balance_dirty_page() always base its calculations on the
amount of non-highmem memory in the machine, rather than try to base it
on total memory and then falling back on non-highmem memory if the
mapping it was writing wasn't highmem capable.
This not only fixes a situation where two different writers can have
wildly different notions about what is a "balanced" dirty state, but it
also means that people with highmem machines don't run into an OOM
situation when regular memory fills up with dirty pages.
We used to try to handle the latter case by scaling down the dirty_ratio
if the machine had a lot of highmem pages in page_writeback_init(), but
it wasn't aggressive enough for some situations, and since basing the
dirty ratio on highmem memory was broken in the first place, let's just
stop doing so.
(A variation of this theme fixed Justin Piszcz's OOM problem when
copying an 18GB file on a RAID setup).

The recent change for a new sysfs tree with card* object breaks the
/sys/class/sound tree if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled.
The device in each entry doesn't point the correct device object:
/sys/class/sound
...
|-- pcmC0D0c
| |-- dev
| |-- device -> ../../../class/sound/card0
| |-- pcm_class
| |-- power
| | `-- wakeup
| |-- subsystem -> ../../../class/sound
| `-- uevent
Also, this change breaks some drivers (like sound/arm/*) referring
card->dev directly to obtain the device object for memory handling.
This patch reverts the semantics of card->dev to the former version,
which points to a real device object. The card* object is stored in a
new card->card_dev field, instead. The device parent is chosen either
card->dev or card->card_dev according to CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED to
keep the tree compatibility.
Also, card* isn't created if CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is enabled. The
reason of card* object is a root of all beloing devices, and it makes
little sense if each sound device points to the real device object
directly.

The analysis is basically correct and explains the bug. According to the
SCSI standards, the sense code is NO SENSE or RECOVERED ERROR in case
writing filemark(s) succeeds. If it fails (partly or completely) the sense
code is VOLUME OVERFLOW. The patch below is tested to fix the case when
one filemark is successfully written after the EOM early warning. It
should also fix the case at real EOM but this has not been tested.

The included patch fixes the following issues:
1. qla3xxx/qla4xxx co-existence issue which can result in a lockup
when qla3xxx driver is unloaded, or when ifdown; ifup is performed on
one of the interfaces correponding to qla3xxx. This is because qla4xxx
HBA supports one ethernet and iscsi interfaces per port. Both iscsi
and ethernet interfaces share the same state machine. The problem has
to do with synchronizing access to the state machine in the event of a
reset
2. mutex_lock() is sometimes not followed by mutex_unlock() prior to
invoking a msleep() in qla4xxx_mailbox_command()

I had thought that all drivers which didn't call scsi_scan_host()
called scsi_scan_target(). Some, such as sbp2, mptsas and libata-scsi,
call scsi_add_device() or __scsi_add_device(). We just need to wait
for the currently executing async scans to complete first. This is the
same code that's in scsi_scan_target(), except that we have to return
an error instead of void when we're declining to scan at all.

Mirror the logic in the sun4u handler, we have to update
both registers even when we branch out to window fault
fixup handling.
The way it works is that if we are in etrap processing a
fault already, g4/g5 holds the original fault information.
If we take a window spill fault while doing etrap, then
we put the window spill fault info into g4/g5 and this is
what the top-level fault handler ends up processing first.
Then we retry the originally faulting instruction, and
process the original fault at that time.
This is all necessary because of how constrained the trap
registers are in these code paths. These cases trigger
very rarely, so even if there is some performance implication
it's doesn't happen very often. In fact the rarity is why
it took so long to trigger and find this particular bug.

libata cmd64x: whack into a shape that looks like the documentation
On the Maple board, the AMD8111 IDE is in legacy mode... except that it
appears on IRQ 20 instead of IRQ 15. For drivers/ide this was handled by
the architecture's "pci_get_legacy_ide_irq()" function, but in libata we
just hard-code the numbers 14 and 15.
This patch provides asm-powerpc/libata-portmap.h which maps the IRQ as
appropriate, having added a pci_dev argument to the
ATA_{PRIM,SECOND}ARY_IRQ macros.
There's probably a better way to do this -- especially if we observe
that the _only_ case in which this seemingly-generic
"pci_get_legacy_ide_irq()" function returns anything other than 14 and
15 for primary and secondary respectively is the case of the AMD8111 on
the Maple board -- couldn't we handle that with a special case in the
pata_amd driver, or perhaps with a PCI quirk for Maple to switch it into
native mode during early boot and assign resources properly?

Before hardreset, ahci initialized stat part of received FIS area to
0xff to wait for the first D2H Reg FIS which would change the value to
device ready state. This used to work but now libata considers status
value of 0xff as device not present making this wait prone to failure.
This patch makes ahci use 0x80 for the wait stat value instead of
0xff to fix the above problem.

If a GFP_KERNEL allocation is attempted in md while the mddev_lock is held,
it is possible for a deadlock to eventuate.
This happens if the array was marked 'clean', and the memalloc triggers a
write-out to the md device.
For the writeout to succeed, the array must be marked 'dirty', and that
requires getting the mddev_lock.
So, before attempting a GFP_KERNEL allocation while holding the lock, make
sure the array is marked 'dirty' (unless it is currently read-only).

nfsd defines a type 'encode_dent_fn' which is much like 'filldir_t' except
that the first pointer is 'struct readdir_cd *' rather than 'void *'. It
then casts encode_dent_fn points to 'filldir_t' as needed. This hides any
other type mismatches between the two such as the fact that the 'ino' arg
recently changed from ino_t to u64.
So: get rid of 'encode_dent_fn', get rid of the cast of the function type,
change the first arg of various functions from 'struct readdir_cd *' to
'void *', and live with the fact that we have a little less type checking
on the calling of these functions now. Less internal (to nfsd) checking
offset by more external checking, which is more important.
