[PATCH] acpiphp: add dock event handling

These patches add generic dock event handling to acpiphp.  If there are
pci devices that need to be inserted/removed after the dock event, the
event notification will be handed down to the normal pci hotplug event
handler in acpiphp so that new bridges/devices can be enumerated.

Because some dock stations do not have pci bridges or pci devices that
need to be inserted after a dock, acpiphp will remain loaded to handle
dock events even if no hotpluggable pci slots are discovered.

You probably need to have the pci=assign-busses kernel parameter enabled
to use these patches, and you may not allow ibm_acpi to handle docking
notifications and use this patch.

This patch incorporates feedback provided by many.

[PATCH] PCI: PCI/Cardbus cards hidden, needs pci=assign-busses to fix

"In some cases, especially on modern laptops with a lot of PCI and cardbus
bridges, we're unable to assign correct secondary/subordinate bus numbers
to all cardbus bridges due to BIOS limitations unless we are using
"pci=assign-busses" boot option." -- Ivan Kokshaysky (from a patch comment)

Without it, Cardbus cards inserted are never seen by PCI because the parent
PCI-PCI Bridge of the Cardbus bridge will not pass and translate Type 1 PCI
configuration cycles correctly and the system will fail to find and
initialise the PCI devices in the system.

Reference: PCI-PCI Bridges: PCI Configuration Cycles and PCI Bus Numbering:
http://www.science.unitn.it/~fiorella/guidelinux/tlk/node72.html

The reason for this is that:
 ``All PCI busses located behind a PCI-PCI bridge must reside between the
secondary bus number and the subordinate bus number (inclusive).''

"pci=assign-busses" makes pcibios_assign_all_busses return 1 and this
turns on PCI renumbering during PCI probing.

Alan suggested to use DMI automatically set assign-busses on problem systems.

The only question for me was where to put it.  I put it directly before
scanning PCI bus into pcibios_scan_root() because it's called from legacy,
acpi and numa and so it can be one place for all systems and configurations
which may need it.

AMD64 Laptops are also affected and fixed by assign-busses, and the code is
also incuded from arch/x86_64/pci/ that place will also work for x86_64
kernels, I only ifdef'-ed the x86-only Laptop in this example.

Affected and known or assumed to be fixed with it are (found by googling):

* ASUS Z71V and L3s
* Samsung X20
* Compaq R3140us and all Compaq R3000 series laptops with TI1620 Controller,
  also Compaq R4000 series (from a kernel.org bugreport)
* HP zv5000z (AMD64 3700+, known that fixup_parent_subordinate_busnr fixes it)
* HP zv5200z
* IBM ThinkPad 240
* An IBM ThinkPad (1.8 GHz Pentium M) debugged by Pavel Machek
  gives the correspondig message which detects the possible problem.
* MSI S260 / Medion SIM 2100 MD 95600

The patch also expands the "try pci=assign-busses" warning so testers will
help us to update the DMI table.

Symptom will either be memory corruption or MCA.

Yes. However, it's pretty clear that the e820 entries are there for a
reason. Probably they are a hack by the BIOS maintainers to keep Windows
from stomping/moving that region, exactly because they want to keep the
bridge where it is (or, it's actually for the BIOS itself - the BIOS
tables are a horrid mess, and BIOS engineers are pretty hacky people:
they'll add random entries to make their own broken algorithms do the
"right thing").

I think we could (and probably should) solve this another way: consider
the ACPI "reserved regions" from the e820 map exactly the same way that we
do other ACPI hints - they should restrict _new_ allocations, but not
impact stuff we figure out on our own.

Basically, right now we assign _unassigned_ resources at "fs_initcall"
time. If we were to add in the e820 "reserved region" stuff before that
(but after we've done PCI discovery), we'd probably do the right thing.

Right now we do the e820 reserved regions very early indeed: we call
"register_memory()" from setup_arch(). We could move at least part of it
(the part that registers the resources) down a bit.

Here's a test-patch. I'm not saying we should absolutely do this, but it
might be interesting to try...

Agreed, looks like an accident.  The patch [1] originally came from Kip
Walker (Broadcom back then) between 2.6.0-test3 and 2.6.0-test4.  As I
recall it was supposed to fix an issue with with PCI aborts being
signalled by the PCI bridge of the Broadcom BCM1250 family of SOCs when
probing behind pci_scan_bridge.  It is undeseriable to disable
PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_MASTER_ABORT in pci_{read,write)_config_* and the
behaviour wasn't considered a bug in need of a workaround, so this was
put in probe.c.

I don't have an affected system at hand, so can't really test but I
propose something like the below patch.

[PATCH] PCI: clean up msi.c a bit

Clean up: move assignments outside of if() statements.
AFAICT, no functional change. Easier to read/understand.

Depends on "[PATCH 1/3] msi vector targeting abstractions"
by Mark Maule <maule@sgi.com>.
I expect one hunk to fail if applied against 2.6.15.

[PATCH] reduce size of bio mempools

The biovec default mempool limit of 256 entries results in over 3MB of RAM
being permanently pinned, even on systems with only 128MB of RAM.  Since
mempool tries to allocate from the system pool first, it makes sense to
reduce the size of the mempool fallbacks to a more reasonable limit of 1-5
entries -- enough for the system to be able to make progress even under
load.

[PATCH] __GENERIC_PER_CPU changes

Now CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA is in, initial percpu data
[__per_cpu_start,__per_cpu_end] can be declared as a redzone, and invalid
accesses after boot can be detected, at least for i386.

We can let non possible cpus percpu data point to this 'redzone' instead of
NULL .

NULL was not a good choice because part of [0..32768] memory may be
readable and invalid accesses may happen unnoticed.

If CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA is not defined, each non possible cpu points to
the initial percpu data (__per_cpu_offset[cpu] == 0), thus invalid accesses
wont be detected/crash.

This patch also moves __per_cpu_offset[] to read_mostly area to avoid false
sharing.

[PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversions

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all.  The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().

This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS.  I found very
few instances of this bug, if any.  But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

[PATCH] Fix oops in invalidate_dquots()

When quota is being turned off we assumed that all the references to dquots
were already dropped.  That need not be true as inodes being deleted are
not on superblock's inodes list and hence we need not reach it when
removing quota references from inodes.  So invalidate_dquots() has to wait
for all the users of dquots (as quota is already marked as turned off, no
new references can be acquired and so this is bound to happen rather
early).  When we do this, we can also remove the iprune_sem locking as it
was protecting us against exactly the same problem when freeing inodes
icache memory.

[PATCH] Move read_mostly definition to asm/cache.h

Seems like needless clutter having a bunch of #if defined(CONFIG_$ARCH) in
include/linux/cache.h.  Move the per architecture section definition to
asm/cache.h, and keep the if-not-defined dummy case in linux/cache.h to
catch architectures which don't implement the section.

Verified that symbols still go in .data.read_mostly on parisc,

[PATCH] Shrinks sizeof(files_struct) and better layout

1) Reduce the size of (struct fdtable) to exactly 64 bytes on 32bits
   platforms, lowering kmalloc() allocated space by 50%.

2) Reduce the size of (files_struct), using a special 32 bits (or
   64bits) embedded_fd_set, instead of a 1024 bits fd_set for the
   close_on_exec_init and open_fds_init fields.  This save some ram (248
   bytes per task) as most tasks dont open more than 32 files.  D-Cache
   footprint for such tasks is also reduced to the minimum.

3) Reduce size of allocated fdset.  Currently two full pages are
   allocated, that is 32768 bits on x86 for example, and way too much.  The
   minimum is now L1_CACHE_BYTES.

UP and SMP should benefit from this patch, because most tasks will touch
only one cache line when open()/close() stdin/stdout/stderr (0/1/2),
(next_fd, close_on_exec_init, open_fds_init, fd_array[0 ..  2] being in the
same cache line)

[PATCH] ext3_readdir: use generic readahead

Linus points out that ext3_readdir's readahead only cuts in when
ext3_readdir() is operating at the very start of the directory.  So for large
directories we end up performing no readahead at all and we suck.

So take it all out and use the core VM's page_cache_readahead().  This means
that ext3 directory reads will use all of readahead's dynamic sizing goop.

Note that we're using the directory's filp->f_ra to hold the readahead state,
but readahead is actually being performed against the underlying blockdev's
address_space.  Fortunately the readahead code is all set up to handle this.

Tested with printk.  It works.  I was struggling to find a real workload which
actually cared.

(The patch also exports page_cache_readahead() to GPL modules)
