The introduction of Jens Axboe's explicit i/o plugging patches introduced a

This reverts commit b026872601976f666bae77b609dc490d1834bf77, which has
been linked to several problem reports with IO-APIC and the timer.
Machines either don't boot because the timer doesn't happen, or we get
double timer interrupts because we end up double-routing the timer irq
through multiple interfaces.
Patches to fix this cleanup exist (and have been confirmed to work fine
at least for some of the affected cases) and we'll revisit it for

Looks like this is the problem, which point Al Viro some time ago:
ufs's get_block callback allocates 16k of disk at a time, and links that
entire 16k into the file's metadata. But because get_block is called for only
a single buffer_head (a 2k buffer_head in this case?) we are only able to tell
the VFS that this 2k is buffer_new().
So when ufs_getfrag_block() is later called to map some more data in the file,
and when that data resides within the remaining 14k of this fragment,
ufs_getfrag_block() will incorrectly return a !buffer_new() buffer_head.
I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode
page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and
will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data,
if later inode page cache will be used.
The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not only
mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification". I use my simple tests
collection, which I used for check that create,open,write,read,close works on
ufs, and I see that this patch makes ufs code 18% slower then before.

Both process_zones() and drain_node_pages() check for populated zones
before touching pagesets. However, __drain_pages does not do so,
This may result in a NULL pointer dereference for pagesets in unpopulated
zones if a NUMA setup is combined with cpu hotplug.
Initially the unpopulated zone has the pcp pointers pointing to the boot
pagesets. Since the zone is not populated the boot pageset pointers will
not be changed during page allocator and slab bootstrap.
If a cpu is later brought down (first call to __drain_pages()) then the pcp
pointers for cpus in unpopulated zones are set to NULL since __drain_pages
does not first check for an unpopulated zone.
If the cpu is then brought up again then we call process_zones() which will
ignore the unpopulated zone. So the pageset pointers will still be NULL.
If the cpu is then again brought down then __drain_pages will attempt to
drain pages by following the NULL pageset pointer for unpopulated zones.

The problem here is that the void cast causes return types to not be
promoted, and for ops such as listxattr which expect more than 32 bits of
return value, the 32-bit -EIO is interpreted as a large positive 64-bit
number, i.e. 0x00000000fffffffa instead of 0xfffffffa.
This goes particularly badly when the return value is taken as a number of
bytes to copy into, say, a user's buffer for example...
I originally had coded up the fix by creating a return_EIO_<TYPE> macro
for each return type, like this:
but Al felt that it was probably better to create an EIO-returner for each
actual op signature. Since so few ops share a signature, I just went ahead
& created an EIO function for each individual file & inode op that returns
a value.

[PATCH] adfs: fix filename handling
Fix filenames on adfs discs being terminated at the first character greater
than 128 (adfs filenames are Latin 1). I saw this problem when using a
loopback adfs image on a 2.6.17-rc5 x86_64 machine, and the patch fixed it
there.

[PATCH] atiixp: Old drivers/ide layer driver for the ATIIXP hang fix
When the old IDE layer calls into methods in the driver during error
handling it is essentially random whether ide_lock is already held. This
causes a deadlock in the atiixp driver which also uses ide_lock internally
for locking.
Switch to a private lock instead.

This is because the packet driver tries to send down read/write BLOCK_PC
commands that don't use a bio and do not use sg lists.
The right fix is to replace all the packet_command stuff in the packet
driver by scsi_execute() which needs to be lifted from scsi code to
the block code for that.
Fix the bug for now. It's not the full way to a generic execute block pc
infrastcuture but fixes the bug for the time being.

[PATCH] KVM: Improve interrupt response
The current interrupt injection mechanism might delay an interrupt under
the following circumstances:
- if injection fails because the guest is not interruptible (rflags.IF clear,
or after a 'mov ss' or 'sti' instruction). Userspace can check rflags,
but the other cases or not testable under the current API.
- if injection fails because of a fault during delivery. This probably
never happens under normal guests.
- if injection fails due to a physical interrupt causing a vmexit so that
it can be handled by the host.
In all cases the guest proceeds without processing the interrupt, reducing
the interactive feel and interrupt throughput of the guest.
This patch fixes the situation by allowing userspace to request an exit
when the 'interrupt window' opens, so that it can re-inject the interrupt
at the right time. Guest interactivity is very visibly improved.
