First fix the check
	if (*imbalance + SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ < busiest_load_per_task)
with this
	if (*imbalance < busiest_load_per_task)

As the current check is always false for nice 0 tasks (as
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ is same as busiest_load_per_task for nice 0
tasks).

With the above change, imbalance was getting reset to 0 in the corner
case condition, making the FUZZ logic fail. Fix it by not corrupting the
imbalance and change the imbalance, only when it finds that the HT/MC
optimization is needed.

I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to
this commit:

commit 6fe6900e
Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
Date:   Sun May 6 14:49:04 2007 -0700

    mm: make read_cache_page synchronous

    Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
    us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

    I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
    possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
    ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
    block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
    with a !uptodate page.

It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a
read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page
without any callers.

Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old
behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the
use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction
well enough to say.

Ryusuke Konishi says:

The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page
before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(),
^^^^^^
static void
truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page)
{
        ...
        cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE);  <--- Inserted here at
kernel 2.6.20

        if (PagePrivate(page))
                do_invalidatepage(page, 0);   ---> will call
a_ops->invalidatepage()
        ...
}

and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling 
nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending
request (=nfs_page) associated with the page.

int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how)
{
        ...
        if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) {
                ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc);
                if (ret < 0)
                        goto out;
        }
        ...
}

Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after
a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated
with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree.
------------------------

Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may
also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated
with them.

This avoids the recent NFS mount regression (returning EBUSY when
mounting the same filesystem twice with different parameters).

The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel
first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the
user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if
that search fails.

Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere
since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.

lguest didn't initialize the kernel stack the way a real i386 kernel
does, and ended up triggering a corner-case in the stack frame checking
that doesn't happen on naive i386, and that the stack dumping didn't
handle quite right.

This makes the frame handling more correct, and tries to clarify the
code at the same time so that it's a bit more obvious what is going on.

The HPET clocksource in drivers/char/hpet.c was written as generic code
for ia64, but it is not yet ready to replace the native HPET clocksource
implementations that the i386/x86-64 architectures use.

On x86[-64], trying to register this clocksource results in potentially
multiple hpet-based clocksources being registered, and if the ia64 one
is chosen on x86_64 some users have experienced hangs.

Eventually all three architectures may end up using the same code, but
that is not the case right now.
