[PATCH] New PowerPC 4xx on-chip ethernet controller driver
This patch replaces current PowerPC 4xx EMAC driver with
new, re-written from the scratch version. This patch is quite big
(~234K) because there is virtualy 0% of common code between old and
new version.
New driver uses NAPI, it solves stability problems under heavy packet
load and low memory, corrects chip register access and fixes numerous
small bugs I don't even remember now.
This patch has been tested on all supported in 2.6 PPC 4xx boards.
It's been used in production for almost a year now on custom
4xx hardware. PPC32 specific parts are already upstream.
Patch was acked by the current EMAC driver maintainer (Matt Porter). I
will be maintaining this new version.

XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That,
BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
immediately...
One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
a mix of gfp_t and error indications. Left alone for now.

private data set.
* Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter
iosched. They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue.
Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which
have its REQ_ELVPRIV set.
* Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have
its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in
q->rq->elvpriv.
* If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data
is not allocated for new requests.
To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until
elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears
QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS. New implementation is much simpler and main code
paths are less cluttered, IMHO.

[PATCH] 02/05: update ioscheds to use generic dispatch queue
This patch updates all four ioscheds to use generic dispatch
queue. There's one behavior change in as-iosched.
* In as-iosched, when force dispatching
(ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK), batch_data_dir is reset to REQ_SYNC
and changed_batch and new_batch are cleared to zero. This
prevernts AS from doing incorrect update_write_batch after
the forced dispatched requests are finished.
* In cfq-iosched, cfqd->rq_in_driver currently counts the
number of activated (removed) requests to determine
whether queue-kicking is needed and cfq_max_depth has been
reached. With generic dispatch queue, I think counting
the number of dispatched requests would be more appropriate.
* cfq_max_depth can be lowered to 1 again.

[patch] remove gendisk->stamp_idle field
struct gendisk has these two fields: stamp, stamp_idle. Update to

Therefore, it does not add any value in having two fields tracking

Also, we should only update gendisk stats with non-zero value.
Advantage is that we don't have to needlessly calculate memory address,

NFS: nfs_lookup doesn't need to revalidate the parent directory's inode
nfs_lookup() used to consult a lookup cache before trying an actual wire
lookup operation. The lookup cache would be invalid, of course, if the
parent directory's mtime had changed, so nfs_lookup performed an inode
revalidation on the parent.
Since nfs_lookup() doesn't use a cache anymore, the revalidation is no
longer necessary. There are cases where it will generate a lot of
unnecessary GETATTR traffic.
See http://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9

Use lndir and "rm -rf" and watch for excess GETATTR traffic or application
