Update to do the following once (not once per port) at boot:
read 16-bit PCS
if needs changing,
write 16-bit PCS
And thereafter, we only perform a 'read 16-bit PCS' per port.

[PATCH] Remove down_write() from taskstats code invoked on the exit() path
In send_cpu_listeners(), which is called on the exit path, a down_write()
was protecting operations like skb_clone() and genlmsg_unicast() that do
GFP_KERNEL allocations. If the oom-killer decides to kill tasks to satisfy
the allocations,the exit of those tasks could block on the same semphore.
The down_write() was only needed to allow removal of invalid listeners from
the listener list. The patch converts the down_write to a down_read and
defers the removal to a separate critical region. This ensures that even
if the oom-killer is called, no other task's exit is blocked as it can
still acquire another down_read.
Thanks to Andrew Morton & Herbert Xu for pointing out the oom related
pitfalls, and to Chandra Seetharaman for suggesting this fix instead of
using something more complex like RCU.

[PATCH] per-task delay accounting taskstats interface: control exit data through cpumasks
On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks
exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can
overflow a userspace listener's buffers.
One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a
limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners
and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data
overload more gracefully.
In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus
by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task
exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested
in that cpu.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and
general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

Don't send taskstats (per-pid or per-tgid) on thread exit when no one is

Currently the taskstats interface allocates a structure, fills it in and
calls netlink to send out per-pid and per-tgid stats regardless of whether
a userspace listener for the data exists (netlink layer would check for
that and avoid the multicast).
As a result of this patch, the check for the no-listener case is performed

[PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface send tgid once
Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once
with each member thread exit.
Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data
of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty.
The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all
*remaining* threads of the thread group.
This patch modifies this sending in two ways:
- the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group
exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving
per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats
interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats
- the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being
the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the
true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of
the thread group.
The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting
subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of
taskstats to not be sent at all.
The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours
on an SMP.

[PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: taskstats interface
Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC
family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their
lifetime and when they exit. The interface is intended for use by multiple
accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay
accounting.
This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data
that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task.
Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an
additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.

Unlike earlier iterations of the delay accounting patches, now delays are only

Account separately for block I/O delays incurred as a result of swapin page
faults whose frequency can be affected by the task/process' rss limit. Hence
swapin delays can act as feedback for rss limit changes independent of I/O

When labeling the superblock we should be checking relabel_from and
relabel_to. But if the superblock has already been labeled (with
fscontext) then context= is actually labeling the inodes, and so we should

[PATCH] Convert idr's internal locking to _irqsave variant
Currently, the code in lib/idr.c uses a bare spin_lock(&idp->lock) to do
internal locking. This is a nasty trap for code that might call idr
functions from different contexts; for example, it seems perfectly
reasonable to call idr_get_new() from process context and idr_remove() from
interrupt context -- but with the current locking this would lead to a
potential deadlock.
The simplest fix for this is to just convert the idr locking to use
spin_lock_irqsave().
In particular, this fixes a very complicated locking issue detected by
lockdep, involving the ib_ipoib driver's priv->lock and dev->_xmit_lock,
which get involved with the ib_sa module's query_idr.lock.

[PATCH] hdrinstall: remove asm/io.h from user visibility
There's no excuse for userspace abusing this kernel header -- the kernel's
headers are not intended to provide a library of helper routines for
userspace. Using <asm/io.h> from userspace is broken on most architectures
anyway. Just say 'no'.

[PATCH] hdrinstall: remove asm/atomic.h from user visibility
This isn't suitable for userspace to see -- the kernel headers are not a
random library of stuff for userspace; they're only there to define the
kernel<->user ABI for system libraries and tools. Anything which _was_
abusing asm/atomic.h from userspace was probably broken anyway -- as it often
didn't even give atomic operation.

[PATCH] null-terminate over-long /proc/kallsyms symbols
Got a customer bug report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/190296) about kernel
symbols longer than 127 characters which end up in a string buffer that is
not NULL terminated, leading to garbage in /proc/kallsyms. Using strlcpy
prevents this from happening, even though such symbols still won't come out
right.
A better fix would be to not use a fixed-size buffer, but it's probably not
worth the trouble. (Modversion'ed symbols even have a length limit of 60.)

[PATCH] i386: remove redundant might_sleep() in user accessors.
On i386, the user space accessor functions copy_from/to_user() both invoke
might_sleep(), do a quick sanity check, and then pass the work on to their
__copy_from/to_user() counterparts, which again invoke might_sleep().
Given that no actual work happens between these two calls, it is best to
eliminate one of the redundant might_sleep()s.

[PATCH] i386 kexec: allow the kexec on panic support to compile on voyager
This patch removes the foolish assumption that SMP implied local apics.
That assumption is not-true on the Voyager subarch. This makes that
dependency explicit, and allows the code to build.
What gets disabled is just an optimization to get better crash dumps so the
support should work if there is a kernel that will initialization on the
voyager subarch under those harsh conditions.
Hopefully we can figure out how to initialize apics in init_IRQ and remove
the need to disable io_apics and this dependency.

[PATCH] ia64: race flushing icache in COW path
There is a race condition that showed up in a threaded JIT environment.
The situation is that a process with a JIT code page forks, so the page is
marked read-only, then some threads are created in the child. One of the
threads attempts to add a new code block to the JIT page, so a
copy-on-write fault is taken, and the kernel allocates a new page, copies
the data, installs the new pte, and then calls lazy_mmu_prot_update() to
flush caches to make sure that the icache and dcache are in sync.
Unfortunately, the other thread runs right after the new pte is installed,
but before the caches have been flushed. It tries to execute some old JIT
code that was already in this page, but it sees some garbage in the i-cache
from the previous users of the new physical page.
Fix: we must make the caches consistent before installing the pte. This is
an ia64 only fix because lazy_mmu_prot_update() is a no-op on all other
architectures.
