Simplify the code and fix the boundary condition of
wait_for_completion_timeout(,0).
We can kill the first __remove_wait_queue() as well.

It seems that the current implementaton of wait_for_completion_timeout()
has a small problem under very high load for the common pattern:
if (!wait_for_completion_timeout(&done, timeout))
/* handle failure */
because the implementation very roughly does (lots of code deleted to
show the basic flow):
static inline long __sched
do_wait_for_common(struct completion *x, long timeout, int state)
{
if (x->done)
return timeout;
do {
timeout = schedule_timeout(timeout);
if (!timeout)
return timeout;
} while (!x->done);
return timeout;
}
so if the system is very busy and x->done is not set when
do_wait_for_common() is entered, it is possible that the first call to
schedule_timeout() returns 0 because the task doing wait_for_completion
doesn't get rescheduled for a long time, even if it is woken up early
enough.
In this case, wait_for_completion_timeout() returns 0 without even
checking x->done again, and the code above falls into its failure case
purely for scheduler reasons, even if the hardware event or whatever was
being waited for happened early enough.
It would make sense to add an extra test to do_wait_for() in the timeout
case and return 1 if x->done is actually set.
A quick audit (not exhaustive) of wait_for_completion_timeout() callers
seems to indicate that no one actually cares about the return value in
the success case -- they just test for 0 (timed out) versus non-zero
(wait succeeded).

runqueue
This patch corrects the incorrect value of per process run-queue wait
time reported by delay statistics. The anomaly was due to the following
reason. When a process leaves the CPU and immediately starts waiting for
CPU on the runqueue (which means it remains in the TASK_RUNNABLE state),
the time of re-entry into the run-queue is never recorded. Due to this,
the waiting time on the runqueue from this point of re-entry upto the
next time it hits the CPU is not accounted for. This is solved by
recording the time of re-entry of a process leaving the CPU in the
sched_info_depart() function IF the process will go back to waiting on
the run-queue. This IF condition is verified by checking whether the
process is still in the TASK_RUNNABLE state.
The patch was tested on 2.6.26-rc6 using two simple CPU hog programs.
The values noted prior to the fix did not account for the time spent on
the runqueue waiting. After the fix, the correct values were reported
back to user space.

cpusets
First issue is not related to the cpusets. We're simply leaking doms_cur.
It's allocated in arch_init_sched_domains() which is called for every
hotplug event. So we just keep reallocation doms_cur without freeing it.
I introduced free_sched_domains() function that cleans things up.
Second issue is that sched domains created by the cpusets are
completely destroyed by the CPU hotplug events. For all CPU hotplug
events scheduler attaches all CPUs to the NULL domain and then puts
them all into the single domain thereby destroying domains created
by the cpusets (partition_sched_domains).
The solution is simple, when cpusets are enabled scheduler should not
create default domain and instead let cpusets do that. Which is
exactly what the patch does.

In tick_task_rt() we first call update_curr_rt() which can dequeue a runqueue
due to it running out of runtime, and then we try to requeue it, of it also
having exhausted its RR quota. Obviously requeueing something that is no longer
on the runqueue will not have the expected result.

The bandwidth throttle code dequeues a group when it runs out of quota, and
re-queues it once the period rolls over and the quota gets refreshed.
Sadly it failed to take the hierarchy into consideration. Share more of the
enqueue/dequeue code with regular task opterations.
Also, some operations like sched_setscheduler() can dequeue/enqueue tasks that
are in throttled runqueues, we should not inadvertly re-enqueue empty runqueues
so check for that.

besides it apparently being useful only in 2.6.24 (the changes in 2.6.25
really mean that it could be converted back to a single-stage mechanism),
I'm seeing an issue in Xen Dom0 kernels, which is caused by the calling
of gart_to_virt() in the second stage invocations of the destroy function.
I think that besides this being a real issue with Xen (where
unmap_page_from_agp() is not just a page table attribute change), this
also is invalid from a theoretical perspective: One should not assume that
gart_to_virt() is still valid after unmapping a page. So minimally (keeping
the 2-stage mechanism) a patch like the one below would be needed.

When we demote a slice from 64k to 4k, and we are about to insert an
HPTE for a 4k subpage and we notice that there is an existing 64k
HPTE, we first invalidate that HPTE before inserting the new 4k
subpage HPTE. Since the bits that encode which hash bucket the old
HPTE was in overlap with the bits that encode which of the 16 subpages
have HPTEs, we need to clear out the subpage HPTE-present bits before
starting to insert HPTEs for the 4k subpages. If we don't do that, we
can erroneously think that a subpage already has an HPTE when it
doesn't.
That in itself wouldn't be such a problem except that when we go to
update the HPTE that we think is present on machines with a
hypervisor, the hypervisor can tell us that the HPTE we think is there
is actually there even though it isn't, which can lead to a process
getting stuck in a loop, continually faulting. The reason for the
confusion is that the AVPN (abbreviated virtual page number) we are
looking for in the HPTE for a 4k subpage can actually match the AVPN
in a stale HPTE for another 64k page. For example, the HPTE for
the 4k subpage at 0x84000f000 will be in the same hash bucket and have
the same AVPN as the HPTE for the 64k page at 0x8400f0000.
This fixes the code to clear out the subpage HPTE-present bits.

genetlink has a circular locking dependency when dumping the registered
families:
- dump start:
genl_rcv() : take genl_mutex
genl_rcv_msg() : call netlink_dump_start() while holding genl_mutex
netlink_dump_start(),
netlink_dump() : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily() : try to detect this case and not take genl_mutex a
second time
- dump continuance:
netlink_rcv() : call netlink_dump
netlink_dump : take nlk->cb_mutex
ctrl_dumpfamily() : take genl_mutex
Register genl_lock as callback mutex with netlink to fix this. This slightly
widens an already existing module unload race, the genl ops used during the
dump might go away when the module is unloaded. Thomas Graf is working on a
seperate fix for this.

This reverts commit 608961a5eca8d3c6bd07172febc27b5559408c5d.
The problem is that the mac80211 stack not only needs to be able to
muck with the link-level headers, it also might need to mangle all of
the packet data if doing sw wireless encryption.
This fixes kernel bugzilla #10903. Thanks to Didier Raboud (for the
bugzilla report), Andrew Prince (for bisecting), Johannes Berg (for
bringing this bisection analysis to my attention), and Ilpo (for
trying to analyze this purely from the TCP side).
In 2.6.27 we can take another stab at this, by using something like
skb_cow_data() when the TX path of mac80211 ends up with a non-NULL
tx->key. The ESP protocol code in the IPSEC stack can be used as a
model for implementation.

The unix_dgram_sendmsg routine implements a (somewhat crude)
form of receiver-imposed flow control by comparing the length of the
receive queue of the 'peer socket' with the max_ack_backlog value
stored in the corresponding sock structure, either blocking
the thread which caused the send-routine to be called or returning
EAGAIN. This routine is used by both SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET
sockets. The poll-implementation for these socket types is
datagram_poll from core/datagram.c. A socket is deemed to be writeable
by this routine when the memory presently consumed by datagrams
owned by it is less than the configured socket send buffer size. This
is always wrong for connected PF_UNIX non-stream sockets when the
abovementioned receive queue is currently considered to be full.
'poll' will then return, indicating that the socket is writeable, but
a subsequent write result in EAGAIN, effectively causing an
(usual) application to 'poll for writeability by repeated send request
with O_NONBLOCK set' until it has consumed its time quantum.
The change below uses a suitably modified variant of the datagram_poll
routines for both type of PF_UNIX sockets, which tests if the
recv-queue of the peer a socket is connected to is presently
considered to be 'full' as part of the 'is this socket
writeable'-checking code. The socket being polled is additionally
put onto the peer_wait wait queue associated with its peer, because the
unix_dgram_sendmsg routine does a wake up on this queue after a
datagram was received and the 'other wakeup call' is done implicitly
as part of skb destruction, meaning, a process blocked in poll
because of a full peer receive queue could otherwise sleep forever
if no datagram owned by its socket was already sitting on this queue.
Among this change is a small (inline) helper routine named
'unix_recvq_full', which consolidates the actual testing code (in three
different places) into a single location.

The atl1 driver tries to determine the MAC address thusly:
- If an EEPROM exists, read the MAC address from EEPROM and
validate it.
- If an EEPROM doesn't exist, try to read a MAC address from
SPI flash.
- If that fails, try to read a MAC address directly from the
MAC Station Address register.
- If that fails, assign a random MAC address provided by the
kernel.
We now have a report of a system fitted with an EEPROM containing all
zeros where we expect the MAC address to be, and we currently handle
this as an error condition. Turns out, on this system the BIOS writes
a valid MAC address to the NIC's MAC Station Address register, but we
never try to read it because we return an error when we find the all-
zeros address in EEPROM.
This patch relaxes the error check and continues looking for a MAC
address even if it finds an illegal one in EEPROM.

Keep enc28j60 chips in low-power mode when they're not in use.
At typically 120 mA, these chips run hot even when idle; this
low power mode cuts that power usage by a factor of around 100.
This version provides a generic routine to poll a register until
its masked value equals some value ... e.g. bit set or cleared.
It's basically what the previous wait_phy_ready() did, but this
version is generalized to support the handshaking needed to
enter and exit low power mode.

Use max not min to enforce a lower limit on the max I/O size.
This bug was introduced by "fuse: fix max i/o size calculation" (commit
e5d9a0df07484d6d191756878c974e4307fb24ce).
Thanks to Brian Wang for noticing.

Most users by far do not care about the exact return value (they only
really care about whether the copy succeeded in its entirety or not),
but a few special core routines actually care deeply about exactly how
many bytes were copied from user space.
And the unrolled versions of the x86-64 user copy routines would
sometimes report that it had copied more bytes than it actually had.
Very few uses actually have partial copies to begin with, but to make
this bug even harder to trigger, most x86 CPU's use the "rep string"
instructions for normal user copies, and that version didn't have this
issue.
To make it even harder to hit, the one user of this that really cared
about the return value (and used the uncached version of the copy that
doesn't use the "rep string" instructions) was the generic write
routine, which pre-populated its source, once more hiding the problem by
avoiding the exception case that triggers the bug.
In other words, very special thanks to Bron Gondwana who not only
triggered this, but created a test-program to show it, and bisected the
behavior down to commit 08291429cfa6258c4cd95d8833beb40f828b194e ("mm:
fix pagecache write deadlocks") which changed the access pattern just
enough that you can now trigger it with 'writev()' with multiple
iovec's.
That commit itself was not the cause of the bug, it just allowed all the
stars to align just right that you could trigger the problem.
[ Side note: this is just the minimal fix to make the copy routines
(with __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache as the particular version that
was involved in showing this) have the right return values.
We really should improve on the exceptional case further - to make the
copy do a byte-accurate copy up to the exact page limit that causes it
to fail. As it is, the callers have to do extra work to handle the
limit case gracefully. ]

When generating the ip header for the transformed packet we just copy
the frag_off field of the ip header from the original packet to the ip
header of the new generated packet. If we receive a packet as a chain
of fragments, all but the last of the new generated packets have the
IP_MF flag set. We have to mask the frag_off field to only keep the
IP_DF flag from the original packet. This got lost with git commit
36cf9acf93e8561d9faec24849e57688a81eb9c5 ("[IPSEC]: Separate

The H.245 helper is not registered/unregistered, but assigned to
connections manually from the Q.931 helper. This means on unload
existing expectations and connections using the helper are not
cleaned up, leading to the following oops on module unload:

One way to fix this would be to split helper cleanup from the unregistration
function and invoke it for the H.245 helper, but since ctnetlink needs to be
able to find the helper for synchonization purposes, a better fix is to
register it normally and make sure its not assigned to connections during
helper lookup. The missing l3num initialization is enough for this, this
patch changes it to use AF_UNSPEC to make it more explicit though.
