[DCCP]: Simplify skb_set_owner_w semantics

While we're at it let's reorganise the set_owner_w calls a little so that:

1) dccp_transmit_skb sets the owner for all packets except data packets.
2) Add dccp_skb_entail to set owner for packets queued for retransmission.
3) Make dccp_transmit_skb static.

[IPV6]: Fix behavior of ip6_route_input() for link local address

I find that linux will reply echo request destined to an address which
belongs to an interface other than the one from which the request received.
This behavior doesn't make sense for link local address.

[PATCH] noop-iosched: avoid corrupted request merging

Tejun Heo notes:

   "I'm currently debugging this.  The problem is that we are using the
    generic dispatch queue directly in the noop sched and merging is NOT
    allowed on dispatch queues but generic handling of last_merge tries
    to merge requests.  I'm still trying to verify this, so I'll be back
    with results soon."

In the meantime, disable merging for noop by setting REQ_NOMERGE in
elevator_noop_add_request().

Eventually, we should add a noop_list and do the dispatching like in the
other io schedulers.  Merging is still beneficial for noop (and it has
always done it).

[libata] locking rewrite (== fix)

A lot of power packed into a little patch.

This change eliminates the sharing between our controller-wide spinlock
and the SCSI core's Scsi_Host lock.  As the locking in libata was
already highly compartmentalized, always referencing our own lock, and
never scsi_host::host_lock.

As a side effect, this change eliminates a deadlock from calling

[PATCH] fix missing includes

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

[PATCH] HPET: make frequency calculations 32 bit safe

On 32-bit architectures, the multiplication in the argument for
hpet_time_div() often overflows.  In the typical case of a 14.32 MHz timer,
this happens when the desired frequency exceeds 61 Hz.

To avoid this multiplication, we can precompute and store the hardware
timer frequency, instead of the period, in the device structure, which
leaves us with a simple division when computing the number of timer ticks.

As a side effect, this also removes a theoretical bug where the timer
interpolator's frequency would be computed as a 32-bit value even if the
HPET frequency is greater than 2^32 Hz (the HPET spec allows up to 10 GHz).

[PATCH] tpm: remove pci dependency

Since the tpm does not have it's own pci id we have been consuming the lpc
bus.  This is not correct and causes problems to support non lpc bus chips.
This patch removes the dependency on pci_dev from tpm.c The subsequent patches
will stop the supported chips from registering as pci drivers.

[PATCH] tpm: add status function to allow non-lpc bus chips

This patch is in preparation of supporting chips that are not necessarily on
the lpc bus and thus are not accessed with inb's and outb's.  The patch
replaces the call to get the chip's status in the tpm.c file with a vendor
specific status function.  The patch also defines the function for each of the
current supported devices.

[PATCH] RCU torture-testing kernel module

This patch is a rewrite of the one submitted on October 1st, using modules
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112819093522998&w=2).

This rewrite adds a tristate CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, which enables an
intense torture test of the RCU infratructure.  This is needed due to the
continued changes to the RCU infrastructure to accommodate dynamic ticks,
CPU hotplug, realtime, and so on.  Most of the code is in a separate file
that is compiled only if the CONFIG variable is set.  Documentation on how
to run the test and interpret the output is also included.

This code has been tested on i386 and ppc64, and an earlier version of the
code has received extensive testing on a number of architectures as part of
the PREEMPT_RT patchset.

This patch fixes a long-standing vgacon bug: characters with the bright bit

You can test this by writing something with the bright set to the
console, for example:
  echo -e "\e[1;31mhello there\e[0m"
and then wait for the console to blank itself (by default, after 10 mins
of inactivity), maybe making it faster using
  setterm -blank 1
so you only have to wait 1 minute.

[PATCH] fix nr_unused accounting, and avoid recursing in iput with I_WILL_FREE set

  list_move(&inode->i_list, &inode_in_use);
  } else {
  list_move(&inode->i_list, &inode_unused);
+ inodes_stat.nr_unused++;
  }
  }
  wake_up_inode(inode);

Are you sure the above diff is correct? It was added somewhere between
2.6.5 and 2.6.8. I think it's wrong.

The only way I can imagine the i_count to be zero in the above path, is
that I_WILL_FREE is set.  And if I_WILL_FREE is set, then we must not
increase nr_unused.  So I believe the above change is buggy and it will
definitely overstate the number of unused inodes and it should be backed
out.

Note that __writeback_single_inode before calling __sync_single_inode, can
drop the spinlock and we can have both the dirty and locked bitflags clear
here:

spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
__wait_on_inode(inode);
iput(inode);
XXXXXXX
spin_lock(&inode_lock);
}
use inode again here

a construct like the above makes zero sense from a reference counting
standpoint.

Either we don't ever use the inode again after the iput, or the
inode_lock should be taken _before_ executing the iput (i.e. a __iput
would be required). Taking the inode_lock after iput means the iget was
useless if we keep using the inode after the iput.

So the only chance the 2.6 was safe to call __writeback_single_inode
with the i_count == 0, is that I_WILL_FREE is set (I_WILL_FREE will
prevent the VM to free the inode in XXXXX).

Potentially calling the above iput with I_WILL_FREE was also wrong
because it would recurse in iput_final (the second mainline bug).

The below (untested) patch fixes the nr_unused accounting, avoids recursing
in iput when I_WILL_FREE is set and makes sure (with the BUG_ON) that we
don't corrupt memory and that all holders that don't set I_WILL_FREE, keeps
a reference on the inode!
