Move the cpuset_fork() call below the write_unlock_irq call in
kernel/fork.c copy_process().
Since the cpuset-dual-semaphore-locking-overhaul.patch, the cpuset_fork()
routine acquires task_lock(), so cannot be called while holding the
tasklist_lock for write.

I believe this patch is required to fix breakage in the asynch reclaim
watermark logic introduced by this patch:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=7fb1d9fca5c6e3b06773b69165a73f3fb786b8ee
Just some background of the watermark logic in case it isn't clear...
Basically what we have is this:
--- pages_high
|
| (a)
|
--- pages_low
|
| (b)
|
--- pages_min
|
| (c)
|
--- 0
Now when pages_low is reached, we want to kick asynch reclaim, which gives us
an interval of "b" before we must start synch reclaim, and gives kswapd an
interval of "a" before it need go back to sleep.
When pages_min is reached, normal allocators must enter synch reclaim, but
PF_MEMALLOC, ALLOC_HARDER, and ALLOC_HIGH (ie. atomic allocations, recursive
allocations, etc.) get access to varying amounts of the reserve "c".

This patch corrects the return value for the EXT3_IOC_GROUP_ADD in case it
fails due to the presence of multiple resizers at the filesystem.
The problem is a little bit more serious than a wrong return value in this
case, since the clause err=0 in the exit_journal path will lead to a call
to update_backups which in turns causes a NULL pointer dereference.

This patch fixes a deadlock problem of the m32r SMP kernel.
In the m32r kernel, sys_tas() system call is provided as a test-and-set
function for userspace, for backward compatibility.
In some multi-threading application program, deadlocks were rarely caused
at sys_tas() funcion. Such a deadlock was caused due to a collision of
__pthread_lock() and __pthread_unlock() operations.
The "tas" syscall is repeatedly called by pthread_mutex_lock() to get a
lock, while a lock variable's value is not 0. On the other hand,
pthead_mutex_unlock() sets the lock variable to 0 for unlocking.
In the previous implementation of sys_tas() routine, there was a
possibility that a unlock operation was ignored in the following case:
- Assume a lock variable (*addr) was equal to 1 before sys_tas() execution.
- __pthread_unlock() operation is executed by the other processor
and the lock variable (*addr) is set to 0, between a read operation
("oldval = *addr;") and the following write operation ("*addr = 1;")
during a execution of sys_tas().
In this case, the following write operation ("*addr = 1;") overwrites the
__pthread_unlock() result, and sys_tas() fails to get a lock in the next
turn and after that.
According to the attatched patch, sys_tas() returns 0 value in the next
turn and deadlocks never happen.

Tracked this down on an Ultra Enterprise 3000. It's a 6-way machine. Odd
thing about this machine (and it's good for finding bugs like this) is that
the CPU id's are not 0 based. For instance, on my machine the CPU's are
6/7/10/11/14/15.
This caused some NULL pointer dereference in kernel/workqueue.c because for
single_threaded workqueue's, it hardcoded the cpu to 0.
I changed the 0's to any_online_cpu(cpu_online_mask), which cpumask.h
claims is "First cpu in mask". So this fits the same usage.

The attached patch implements a bunch of small changes to the FRV arch to
make it work again.
It deals with the following problems:
(1) SEM_DEBUG should be SEMAPHORE_DEBUG.
(2) The argument list to pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() has changed.
(3) CONFIG_HIGHMEM can't be used directly in #if as it may not be defined.
(4) page->private is no longer directly accessible.
(5) linux/hardirq.h assumes asm/hardirq.h will include linux/irq.h
(6) The IDE MMIO access functions are given pointers, not integers, and so
get type casting errors.
(7) __pa() is passed an explicit u64 type in drivers/char/mem.c, but that
can't be cast directly to a pointer on a 32-bit platform.
(8) SEMAPHORE_DEBUG should not be contingent on WAITQUEUE_DEBUG as that no
longer exists.
(9) PREEMPT_ACTIVE is too low a value.

There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest
function calls lock_cpu_hotplug(). The lock is already held during
cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to
registered clients.
Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and
make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls
but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup.
Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in
all places.
- Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static.
- removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug()
so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and
just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock.
- Removed current_in_hotplug() uses
- Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug()
temporary workaround.
Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline
to make sure we dont have any hang situations.

Those missing references in mm/memory.c arise from this code in
include/linux/mm.h, combined with the fact that __PGTABLE_PMD_FOLDED and
__PGTABLE_PUD_FOLDED are both set and __ARCH_HAS_4LEVEL_HACK is not:
/*
* The following ifdef needed to get the 4level-fixup.h header to work.

}
#endif /* CONFIG_MMU && !__ARCH_HAS_4LEVEL_HACK */
With my configuration the pgd_none and pud_none routines are inlines
returning a constant 0. Apparently the old compiler avoids generating
calls to __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc but still lists them as undefined
references in the module's symbol table.
I don't know which change caused this problem. I think it was added
somewhere between 2.6.14 and 2.6.15-rc1, because I remember building
several 2.6.14-rc kernels without difficulty. However I can't point to an
individual culprit.

This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very
explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP. It allows a
VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM
never touches, and never considers to be normal pages.
Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new
functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or
indeed mark them any other way. It just works. As a side effect, doing
mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges.

In cases where the server has gone insane, nfs_update_inode() may end
up calling nfs_invalidate_inode(), which again calls stuff that takes
the inode->i_lock that we're already holding.
In addition, given the sort of things we have in NFS these days that
need to be cleaned up on inode release, I'm not sure we should ever
be calling make_bad_inode().
Fix up spinlock recursion, and limit nfs_invalidate_inode() to clearing
the caches, and marking the inode as being stale.

We must not call TLB maintainence operations with interrupts disabled,
otherwise we risk a lockup in the SMP IPI code.
This means that consistent_free() can not be called from a context with
IRQs disabled. In addition, we must not hold the lock in consistent_free
when we call flush_tlb_kernel_range(). However, we must continue to
prevent consistent_alloc() from re-using the memory region until we've
finished tearing down the mapping and dealing with the TLB.
Therefore, leave the vm_region entry in the list, but mark it inactive
before dropping the lock and starting the tear-down process. After the
mapping has been torn down, re-acquire the lock and remove the entry
from the list.

Blah. The patch [0] I recently sent fixing errors with
in_hugepage_area() and prepare_hugepage_range() for powerpc itself has
an off-by-one bug. Furthermore, the related functions
touches_hugepage_*_range() and within_hugepage_*_range() are also
buggy. Some of the bugs, like those addressed in [0] originated with
commit 7d24f0b8a5 where we tweaked the
semantics of where hugepages are allowed. Other bugs have been there
essentially forever, and are due to the undefined behaviour of '<<'
with shift counts greater than the type width (LOW_ESID_MASK could
return non-zero for high ranges with the right congruences).
The good news is that I now have a testsuite which should pick up
things like this if they creep in again.
