Optimize cond_resched() by removing one conditional.
Currently cond_resched() checks system_state ==
SYSTEM_RUNNING in order to avoid scheduling before the
scheduler is running.
We can however, as per suggestion of Matt, use
PREEMPT_ACTIVE to accomplish that very same.

Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.
The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.

Linus noticed how unclean and buggy the overlap() function is:
- It uses convoluted (and bug-causing) positive checks for
range overlap - instead of using a more natural negative
check.
- Even the positive checks are buggy: a positive intersection
check has four natural cases while we checked only for three,
missing the (addr < start && addr2 == end) case for example.
- The variables are mis-named, making it non-obvious how the
check was done.
- It needlessly uses u64 instead of unsigned long. Since these
are kernel memory pointers and we explicitly exclude highmem
ranges anyway we cannot ever overflow 32 bits, even if we
could. (and on 64-bit it doesnt matter anyway)
All in one, this function needs a total revamp. I used Linus's
suggestions minus the paranoid checks (we cannot overflow really
because if we get totally bad DMA ranges passed far more things
break in the systems than just DMA debugging). I also fixed a
few other small details i noticed.

This is seen on some G41 systems, where the BIOS will consume all but
a few KB of the aperture. This should be bad for all operating systems, as
it means that the OS can't dynamically manage memory between graphics and
the rest of the system, and OSes that did static memory management
statically add memory in addition to the BIOS allocation anyway. So, instead
of working around it, just fail out verbosely.

Once a new request comes in, check if we are using oom_cfqq, and if yes,

I overlooked SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV support when I converted sg to use
the block layer mapping API (2.6.28).
Douglas Gilbert explained SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37135.html
=
The semantics of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV were:
- copy user space buffer to kernel (LLD) buffer
- do SCSI command which is assumed to be of the DATA_IN
(data from device) variety. This would overwrite
some or all of the kernel buffer
- copy kernel (LLD) buffer back to the user space.
The idea was to detect short reads by filling the original
user space buffer with some marker bytes ("0xec" it would
seem in this report). The "resid" value is a better way
of detecting short reads but that was only added this century
and requires co-operation from the LLD.
=
This patch changes the block layer mapping API to support this
semantics. This simply adds another field to struct rq_map_data and
enables __bio_copy_iov() to copy data from user space even with READ
requests.
It's better to add the flags field and kills null_mapped and the new
from_user fields in struct rq_map_data but that approach makes it
difficult to send this patch to stable trees because st and osst
drivers use struct rq_map_data (they were converted to use the block
layer in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30). Well, I should clean up the block layer
mapping API.

The timer migration expiry check should prevent the migration of a
timer to another CPU when the timer expires before the next event is
scheduled on the other CPU. Migrating the timer might delay it because
we can not reprogram the clock event device on the other CPU. But the
code implementing that check has two flaws:
- for !HIGHRES the check compares the expiry value with the clock
events device expiry value which is wrong for CLOCK_REALTIME based
timers.
- the check is racy. It holds the hrtimer base lock of the target CPU,
but the clock event device expiry value can be modified
nevertheless, e.g. by an timer interrupt firing.
The !HIGHRES case is easy to fix as we can enqueue the timer on the
cpu which was selected by the load balancer. It runs the idle
balancing code once per jiffy anyway. So the maximum delay for the
timer is the same as when we keep the tick on the current cpu going.
In the HIGHRES case we can get the next expiry value from the hrtimer
cpu_base of the target CPU and serialize the update with the cpu_base
lock. This moves the lock section in hrtimer_interrupt() so we can set
next_event to KTIME_MAX while we are handling the expired timers and
set it to the next expiry value after we handled the timers under the
base lock. While the expired timers are processed timer migration is
blocked because the expiry time of the timer is always <= KTIME_MAX.
Also remove the now useless clockevents_get_next_event() function.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
The timer migration code needs to check whether the expiry time of the
timer is before the programmed clock event expiry time when the timer
is enqueued on another CPU because we can not reprogram the timer
device on the other CPU. The current logic checks the expiry time even
if we enqueue on the current CPU when nohz_get_load_balancer() returns
current CPU. This might lead to an endless loop in the expiry check
code when the expiry time of the timer is before the current
programmed next event.
Check whether nohz_get_load_balancer() returns current CPU and skip
the expiry check if this is the case.

Commit c3a8c5b6 ("cxgb3: move away from LLTX") exposed a bug in how
cxgb3 looks up the netdev_queue it stashes away in a qset during
initialization. For multiport devices, the TX queue index it uses is
offset by the first_qset index of each port. This leads to a crash
once LLTX is removed, since hard_start_xmit is called with one TX
queue lock held, while the TX reclaim timer task grabs a different
(wrong) TX queue lock when it frees skbs.
Fix this by removing the first_qset offset used to look up the TX
queue passed into t3_sge_alloc_qset() from setup_sge_qsets().

Fix coexistence of Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Flow Director (FDIR)
in 82599 and remove the disabling of FDIR when FCoE is enabled.
Currently, FDIR is turned off when FCoE is enabled under the assumption that
FCoE is always enabled with DCB being turned on. However, FDIR does not have
to be turned off all the time when FCoE is enabled since FCoE can be enabled
without DCB being turned on, e.g., use link pause only. This patch makes sure
that when DCB is turned on or off, FDIR is turned on or off correspondingly;
and when FCoE is enabled, it does not disable FDIR, rather, it will have FDIR
set up properly so FCoE and FDIR can coexist regardless of DCB being on or off.

Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper
to wrap the memory barrier.
Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.
CPU1 CPU2
sys_select receive packet
... ...
__add_wait_queue update tp->rcv_nxt
... ...
tp->rcv_nxt check sock_def_readable
... {
schedule ...
if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
...
}
If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.
Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.
The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side. The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.
Calls to poll_wait in following modules were ommited:

On some boxes the mobile chipset is used and there is no LVDS device. In such
case we had better not initialize the LVDS output device so that one pipe can
be used for other output device. For example: E-TOP.
But unfortunately the LVDS device is still initialized on the boxes based on
mobile chipset in KMS mode. It brings that this pipe occupied by LVDS can't be
used for other output device.
After checking the acpidump we find that there is no LID device on such boxes.
In such case we can use the LID device to decide whether the LVDS device should
be initialized.
If there is no LID device, we can think that there is no LVDS device. It is
unnecessary to initialize the LVDS output device.
If there exists the LID device, it will continue the current flowchart.
Maybe on some boxes there is no LVDS device but the LID device is found. In
such case it should be added to the quirk list.
