Mark Fasheh 53fc622b9e [PATCH 2/2] ocfs2: cluster aware flock()
Hook up ocfs2_flock(), using the new flock lock type in dlmglue.c. A new
mount option, "localflocks" is added so that users can revert to old
functionality as need be.

Sunil Mushran 2fbe8d1ebe ocfs2: Local alloc window size changeable via mount option
Local alloc is a performance optimization in ocfs2 in which a node
takes a window of bits from the global bitmap and then uses that for
all small local allocations. This window size is fixed to 8MB currently.
This patch allows users to specify the window size in MB including
disabling it by passing in 0. If the number specified is too large,
the fs will use the default value of 8MB.

mount -o localalloc=X /dev/sdX /mntpoint

Mark Fasheh d147b3d630 ocfs2: Support commit= mount option
Mostly taken from ext3. This allows the user to set the jbd commit interval,
in seconds. The default of 5 seconds stays the same, but now users can
easily increase the commit interval. Typically, this would be increased in
order to benefit performance at the expense of data-safety.

Adrian Bunk e57895d389 IB/mthca: Remove MSI support as scheduled
Remove MSI support from the mthca driver, as scheduled.  There is no
reason to use MSI instead of MSI-X, since MSI-X performs better.  No
one has spoken up since MSI support was deprecated in commit f6be6fbe
("IB/mthca: Schedule MSI support for removal"), so apparently the MSI
support is unused.

Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use
get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the
refcount semantics in these operations.

The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but
it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data
structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.

In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use
cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the
cpu_present_map there.

Salyzyn, Mark cb1042f285 [SCSI] aacraid: add Voodoo Lite class of cards.
The cards being added are supported in a limited sense already through
family matching, but we needed to add some functionality to the driver
to expose selectively the physical drives. These Physical drives are
specifically marked to not be part of any array and thus are declared
JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Drives) for generic SCSI access.

We report that this is the second patch in a set of two, but merely
depends on the stand-alone functionality of the first patch which adds
in that case the ability to report a driver feature flag via sysfs. We
leverage that functionality by reporting that this driver now supports
this new JBOD feature for the controller so that the array management
applications may react accordingly and guide the user as they manage
the controller.

Stephen Neuendorffer ab99eee8ac [POWERPC] Xilinx: Update booting-without-of.
This now better describes what the UBoot device tree generator
actually does.  In particular:

1) Nodes have a label derived from the device name, and a node name
derived from a generic version of the device type, e.g. 'ethernet',
'serial', etc.

2) Usage of compound nodes (representing more than one device in the
same IP) which actually works.  This requires having a valid
compatible node, and all the other things that a bus normally has.
I've chosen 'xlnx,compound' as the bus name to describe these compound
nodes.

In addition, I've clarified some of the language relating to how mhs
nodes should be represent in the device tree.

Simon Horman a6c05c3d06 [IPV4]: Fix ip command line processing.
Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was
update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the
latter is ignored and the default (on) is used.

This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion.
But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that
ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration.

This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on)
is the default.

Add function qe_clock_source() which takes a string containing the name of a

matching enum qe_clock value.

Update booting-without-of.txt to indicate that the UCC properties rx-clock
and tx-clock are deprecated and replaced with rx-clock-name and tx-clock-name,
which use strings instead of numbers to indicate QE clock sources.

Jay Vosburgh 6f6652be18 bonding: Add new layer2+3 hash for xor/802.3ad modes
Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes.  Originally
 submitted by "Glenn Griffin" <ggriffin.kernel@gmail.com>; modified by
 Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the
 documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2.

	Glenn's original comment follows:

Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information.  This is a middle
ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the
layer3+4 policy.  This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by
transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link.
As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme
cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise
for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the
layer2 only policy.

Pavel Emelyanov 2868f89fc4 The namespaces compatibility list doc
People discuss how the namespaces are working/going-to-work together.

Ted Ts'o proposed to create some document that describes what problems user
may have when he/she creates some new namespace, but keeps others shared.
I liked this idea, so here's the initial version of such a document with
the problems I currently have in mind and can describe somewhat audibly -
the "namespaces compatibility list".

The Documentation/namespaces/ directory is about to contain more docs about
the namespaces stuff.

Thanks to Cedirc for notes and spell checks on the doc, to Daniel for
additional info about IPC and User namespaces interaction and to Randy, who
alluded me to using a spell checker before sending the documentation :)

Rusty Russell 42b36cc0ce virtio: Force use of power-of-two for descriptor ring sizes
The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
aligned to an N-byte boundary.  But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).

So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 20474abda6 [POWERPC] Fix cache line vs. block size confusion
We had an historical confusion in the kernel between cache line
and cache block size. The former is an implementation detail of
the L1 cache which can be useful for performance optimisations,
the later is the actual size on which the cache control
instructions operate, which can be different.

For some reason, we had a weird hack reading the right property
on powermac and the wrong one on any other 64 bits (32 bits is
unaffected as it only uses the cputable for cache block size
infos at this stage).

This fixes the booting-without-of.txt documentation to mention
the right properties, and fixes the 64 bits initialization code
to look for the block size first, with a fallback to the line
size if the property is missing.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh e11e211a0b ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: prefer standard ACPI backlight level control
Newer Lenovo BIOSes support the standard ACPI backlight brightness
interface (_BCM, _BQC, _BCL).  It should be used instead of the native
thinkpad backlight brightness control interface when possible.

This patch disables the native brightness support in the driver by default
when we detect that the standard ACPI interface is available.  The local
admin can still enable it using the module parameter "brightness_enable".

Note that we need to detect the standard ACPI backlight interface only in
boxes for which we would load the native backlight interface in the first
place, and that no ThinkPad BIOS has _BCL but misses the other methods, so
the detection routines can be really simple.

Add a "brightness_enable" module parameter that allows the local admin to
force the backlight support to not be enabled.

It can also be used to force the backlight support to be enabled, but that
is currently a no-op as the backlight support is enabled by default when
available.  This will be changed by a different patch.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh a3f104c02a ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: support 16 levels of brightness (v3)
Lenovo ThinkPads often have 16 brightness levels in EC, and not just eight
levels like older ThinkPads.  They also have standard ACPI backlight
brightness control.

We detect the number of brightness levels by the presence of a BCLL package
with 16 entries.  If BCLL is not there, we assume eight levels (Z6*).  If
it is there, but it doesn't have 16 entries, we assume eight levels (T60).
Otherwise we assume sixteen levels (T61, X61, etc).

We don't use _BCL because it can have side-effects in thinkpads.  Thanks to
Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> for notifying me of this potential
problem.

Using the standard ACPI backlight brightness control *instead* of the
native thinkpad backlight control is a better idea, though.  A different
patch will take care of this.

Kristen Carlson Accardi ca77329fb7 [libata] Link power management infrastructure
Device Initiated Power Management, which is defined
in SATA 2.5 can be enabled for disks which support it.
This patch enables DIPM when the user sets the link
power management policy to "min_power".

Additionally, libata drivers can define a function
(enable_pm) that will perform hardware specific actions to
enable whatever power management policy the user set up
for Host Initiated Power management (HIPM).
This power management policy will be activated after all
disks have been enumerated and intialized.  Drivers should
also define disable_pm, which will turn off link power
management, but not change link power management policy.

Documentation/scsi/link_power_management_policy.txt has additional
information.
