Problem is, the module_param macros rely upon some of those identifiers having
special meanings too.  The net effect is that module_param() and friends
cannot be used in ISDN because of this namespace clash.

So remove the hysdn-private defines and open-code them all.

It seems there is error check missing in open_namei for errors returned
through intent.open.file (from lookup_instantiate_filp).

If there is plain open performed, then such a check done inside
__path_lookup_intent_open called from path_lookup_open(), but when the open
is performed with O_CREAT flag set, then __path_lookup_intent_open is only
called with LOOKUP_PARENT set where no file opening can occur yet.

Later on lookup_hash is called where exact opening might take place and
intent.open.file may be filled.  If it is filled with error value of some
sort, then we get kernel attempting to dereference this error value as
address (and corresponding oops) in nameidata_to_filp() called from
filp_open().

While this is relatively simple to workaround in ->lookup() method by just
checking lookup_instantiate_filp() return value and returning error as
needed, this is not so easy in ->d_revalidate(), where we can only return
"yes, dentry is valid" or "no, dentry is invalid, perform full lookup
again", and just returning 0 on error would cause extra lookup (with
potential extra costly RPCs).

So in short, I believe that there should be no difference in error handling
for opening a file and creating a file in open_namei() and propose this
simple patch as a solution.

Make CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU depend on !X86_PC, so we need to turn on either
CONFIG_GENERICARCH, CONFIG_BIGSMP or any other subarch except X86_PC when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y

With 2.6.15+ kernels when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is turned on we switch to
bigsmp mode for sending IPI's and ioapic configurations that caused the
following error message.

>> More than 8 CPUs detected and CONFIG_X86_PC cannot handle it.
>> Use CONFIG_X86_GENERICARCH or CONFIG_X86_BIGSMP.

Originally bigsmp was added just to handle >8 cpus, but now with hotplug
cpu support we need to use bigsmp mode (why?  see below), that cause the
above error message even if there were less than 8 cpus in the system.

The message is bogus, but we are cannot use logical flat mode due to issues
with broadcast IPI can confuse a CPU just comming up.  We use flat physical
mode just like x86_64 case.  More details on why bigsmp now uses flat
physical mode (vs.  cluster mode) in following link.

We have had this memory leak for a while now.  The situation is complicated
by the use of alloc_kmemlist() as a function to resize various caches by
do_tune_cpucache().

What we do here is first of all make sure that we deallocate properly in
the loop over all the nodes.

If we are just resizing caches then we can simply return with -ENOMEM if an
allocation fails.

If the cache is new then we need to rollback and remove all earlier
allocations.

We detect that a cache is new by checking if the link to the global cache
chain has been setup.  This is a bit hackish ....

__drain_alien_cache() currently drains objects by freeing them to the
(remote) freelists of the original node.  However, each node also has a
shared list containing objects to be used on any processor of that node.
We can avoid a number of remote node accesses by copying the pointers to
the free objects directly into the remote shared array.

And while we are at it: Skip alien draining if the alien cache spinlock is
already taken.

Kiran reported that this is a performance benefit.

With respect to the superblock sharing patch, this should reduce by one the

Only in the case where there's already a dentry for particular directory inode

According to the specification the timevals must be validated and an
errorcode -EINVAL returned in case the timevals are not in canonical form.
This check was never done in Linux.

The pre 2.6.16 code converted invalid timevals silently.  Negative timeouts
were converted by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion to the maximum timeout.

hrtimers and the ktime_t operations expect timevals in canonical form.
Otherwise random results might happen on 32 bits machines due to the
optimized ktime_add/sub operations.  Negative timeouts are treated as
already expired.  This might break applications which work on pre 2.6.16.

To prevent random behaviour and API breakage the timevals are checked and
invalid timevals sanitized in a simliar way as the pre 2.6.16 code did.

Invalid timevals are reported with a per boot limited number of kernel
messages so applications which use this misfeature can be corrected.

After a grace period of one year the sanitizing should be replaced by a
correct validation check.  This is also documented in
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt

The validation and sanitizing is done inside do_setitimer so all callers
(sys_setitimer, compat_sys_setitimer, osf_setitimer) are catched.

alarm() calls the kernel with an unsigend int timeout in seconds.  The
value is stored in the tv_sec field of a struct timeval to setup the
itimer.  The tv_sec field of struct timeval is of type long, which causes
the tv_sec value to be negative on 32 bit machines if seconds > INT_MAX.

Before the hrtimer merge (pre 2.6.16) such a negative value was converted
to the maximum jiffies timeout by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion.  It's
not clear whether this was intended or just happened to be done by the
timeval_to_jiffies code.

hrtimers expect a timeval in canonical form and treat a negative timeout as
already expired.  This breaks the legitimate usage of alarm() with a
timeout value > INT_MAX seconds.

For 32 bit machines it is therefor necessary to limit the internal seconds
value to avoid API breakage.  Instead of doing this in all implementations
of sys_alarm the duplicated sys_alarm code is moved into a common function
in itimer.c
