I have found that using SMI to change the cpu's frequency on my DELL
Latitude L400 clobbers the ECX register in speedstep_set_state, causing
unneccessary retries because the "state" variable has changed silently (GCC
assumes it is still present in ECX).
play safe and avoid gcc caching any register across IO port accesses
that trigger SMIs.

The RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT bit was getting set incorrectly
when the last chunk in the read-list spanned multiple pages. This
resulted in a kernel panic when the wrong context was used to
build the RPC iovec page list.
RDMA_READ is used to fetch RPC data from the client for
NFS_WRITE requests. A scatter-gather is used to map the
advertised client side buffer to the server-side iovec and
associated page list.
WR contexts are used to convey which scatter-gather entries are
handled by each WR. When the write data is large, a single RPC may
require multiple RDMA_READ requests so the contexts for a single RPC
are chained together in a linked list. The last context in this list
is marked with a bit RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT so that when this WR completes,
the CQ handler code can enqueue the RPC for processing.
The code in rdma_read_xdr was setting this bit on the last two
contexts on this list when the last read-list chunk spanned multiple
pages. This caused the svc_rdma_recvfrom logic to incorrectly build
the RPC and caused the kernel to crash because the second-to-last
context doesn't contain the iovec page list.
Modified the condition that sets this bit so that it correctly detects
the last context for the RPC.

This reverts commit 8fa5913d54, which
caused various interesting problems for people, including wrong resource
allocations. See for example bugzilla entry "2.6.25-rc2: ohci1394
problem (MMIO broken)" at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10080
And Gary Hade says:
"The same change had also exposed an issue reported by Paul Martin that
has been causing an Oops while hotplugging ThinkPads to a ThinkPad
Dock II. See
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/405http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9961
I have a fix for the ThinkPad docking Oops but if the issue being
discussed here is caused by the transparent bridge sizing removal
change I totally agree that it should be reverted."
The transparent bridge sizing removal change was motivated by
insufficient PCI memory resource for a transparent bridge window that
was being created as a result of expansion ROM(s) being included in
the transparent bridge sizing calculations.
A later "PCI: Remove default PCI expansion ROM memory allocation"
change ( re: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/11/361 ) removes the
expansion ROM(s) from the transparent bridge sizing calculations which
actually resolves the original issue in a different manner. So, even
if the "PCI: remove transparent bridge sizing" is not problematic it
is no longer needed anyway."

We have been printing these messages at KERN_ERR since 2.6.24,
per http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9535
But KERN_ERR pops up on a console booted with "quiet"
and causes users to get alarmed and file bugs
about the message itself:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436589
So reduce the severity of these messages to
KERN_WARNING, which is not printed by "quiet".
This message will still be seen without "quiet",
but a lot of messages are printed in that mode
and it will be less likely to cause undue alarm.
We could go all the way to KERN_DEBUG, but this
is a real warning after all, so it seems prudent
not to require "debug" to see it.

The unlazy_fpu() path calls in to save_fpu() if the task has

add_timer_on() can add a timer on a CPU which is currently in a long
idle sleep, but the timer wheel is not reevaluated by the nohz code on
that CPU. So a timer can be delayed for quite a long time. This
triggered a false positive in the clocksource watchdog code.
To avoid this we need to wake up the idle CPU and enforce the
reevaluation of the timer wheel for the next timer event.
Add a function, which checks a given CPU for idle state, marks the
idle task with NEED_RESCHED and sends a reschedule IPI to notify the
other CPU of the change in the timer wheel.
Call this function from add_timer_on().

Changing these flags requires to use dev_set_allmulti/dev_set_promiscuity
or dev_change_flags. Setting it directly causes two unwanted effects:
- the next dev_change_flags call will notice a difference between
dev->gflags and the actual flags, enable promisc/allmulti
mode and incorrectly update dev->gflags
- this keeps the underlying device in promisc/allmulti mode until
the VLAN device is deleted

commit 9b12e18cdc
'ACPI: cpuidle: Support C1 idle time accounting'
was implicated in a 100% C0 idle regression.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10076
It pointed out a potential problem where the menu governor
may get confused by the C-state residency time from poll
idle or C1 idle, where this timing info is not accurate.
This inaccuracy is due to interrupts being handled
before we account for C-state exit.
Do not mark TIME_VALID for CO poll state.
Mark C1 time as valid only with the MWAIT (CSTATE_FFH) entry method.
This makes governors use the timing information only when it is correct and
eliminates any wrong policy decisions that may result from invalid timing
information.
