[PATCH] knfsd: use recv_msg to get peer address for NFSD instead of code-copying

The sunrpc server code needs to know the source and destination address for
UDP packets so it can reply properly.  It currently copies code out of the
network stack to pick the pieces out of the skb.  This is ugly and causes
compile problems with the IPv6 stuff.

So, rip that out and use recv_msg instead.  This is a much cleaner interface,
but has a slight cost in that the checksum is now checked before the copy, so
we don't benefit from doing both at the same time.  This can probably be
fixed.

[PATCH] cciss: fix for 2TB support

This patch changes the way we determine if a logical volume is larger than
2TB.

The original test looked for a total_size of 0.  Originally we added 1 to the
total_size.  That would make our read_capacity return size 0 for >2TB lv's.
We assumed that we could not have a lv size of 0 so it seemed OK until we were
in a clustered system.  The backup node would see a size of 0 due to the
reservation on the drive.  That caused the driver to switch to 16-byte CDB's
which are not supported on older controllers.  After that everything was
broken.

It may seem petty but I don't see the value in trying to determine if the LBA
is beyond the 2TB boundary.  That's why when we switch we use 16-byte CDB's
for all read/write operations.  Please consider this for inclusion.

[PATCH] disable NMI watchdog by default

there's a new NMI watchdog related problem: KVM crashes on certain
bzImages because ... we enable the NMI watchdog by default (even if the
user does not ask for it) , and no other OS on this planet does that so
KVM doesnt have emulation for that yet. So KVM injects a #GP, which

Solution: turn off that darn thing! It's a debug tool, not a 'make life

with this patch the KVM guest boots up just fine.

And with this my laptop (Lenovo T60) also stopped its sporadic hard

sometimes much later during actual use) as well. It hung with both
nmi_watchdog=1 and nmi_watchdog=2, so it's generally the fact of NMI

any particular bootup code.

  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

will give me this:

  =======================================================
  [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
  2.6.21-rc2-g562aa1d4-dirty #7
  -------------------------------------------------------
  bash/1282 is trying to acquire lock:
   (&cpu_base->lock_key){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f17e>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xc6/0x240

  but task is already holding lock:
   (&cpu_base->lock_key#2){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f174>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xbc/0x240

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

This happens because we have the following code in kernel/hrtimer.c:

  migrate_hrtimers(int cpu)
  [...]
  old_base = &per_cpu(hrtimer_bases, cpu);
  new_base = &get_cpu_var(hrtimer_bases);
  [...]
  spin_lock(&new_base->lock);
  spin_lock(&old_base->lock);

Which means the spinlocks are taken in an order which depends on which cpu
gets shut down from which other cpu. Therefore lockdep complains that there
might be an ABBA deadlock. Since migrate_hrtimers() gets only called on
cpu hotplug it's safe to assume that it isn't executed concurrently on a

The same problem exists in kernel/timer.c: migrate_timers().

As pointed out by Christian Borntraeger one possible solution to avoid
the locking order complaints would be to make sure that the locks are
always taken in the same order. E.g. by taking the lock of the cpu with
the lower number first.

To achieve this we introduce two new spinlock functions double_spin_lock
and double_spin_unlock which lock or unlock two locks in a given order.

[PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426)

This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426

The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.

It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.

Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).

This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.

If this isn't confusing enough, the paravirt case goes through an indirect
function pointer in the paravirt-ops table.  The problem is, by the time the
paravirt hook is called, the pit timer is already enabled.

But paravirt guests have their own timer, and don't want to use the PIT.
Rather than intensify the struggle for power going on here, just make it all
nice and simple and just unconditionally do all timer setup in the
late_time_init hook.  This also has the advantage of enabling timers in the
same place in all code paths, so everyone has the same bugs and we don't have
outliers who break other code because they turn on timer too early or too
late.

So the paravirt-ops time init function is now by default hpet_time_init, which
is the time init function used for native hardware.  Paravirt guests have the
chance to override this when they setup the paravirt-ops table, and should
need no change.

2) The interrupt handler can no longer adjust xtime due to nested lock

   every tick, it can be done in userspace instead.

3) Add a bypass to disable noidle operation.  This is useful as a last

4) The code to skip the IO_APIC timer testing (no_timer_check) should be
