Commit 2d7d2535 ("fix cond_resched() fix")
introduced an 'expected_preempt_count' parameter to __resched_legal() to
fix a bug where it was returning a false negative when called from
cond_resched_lock() and preemption was enabled.

Unfortunately this broke things for when preemption is disabled.
preempt_count() will always return zero, thus failing the check against any
value of expected_preempt_count not equal to zero.  cond_resched_lock() for
example, passes an expected_preempt_count value of 1.

So fix the fix for the cond_resched() fix by skipping the check of
preempt_count() against expected_preempt_count when preemption is disabled.

Credit should go to Sunil Mushran for spotting the bug during testing.

truncate presently invalidates the dirty page's buffer_heads then shoots down
the page.  But try_to_free_buffers() will now bale out because the page is
dirty.

Net effect: the LRU gets filled with dirty pages which have invalidated
buffer_heads attached.  They have no ->mapping and hence cannot be cleaned.
The machine leaks memory at an enormous rate.

Fix this by cleaning the page before running try_to_free_buffers(), so
try_to_free_buffers() can do its work.

Also, remember to do dirty-page-acoounting in cancel_dirty_page() so the
machine won't wedge up trying to write non-existent dirty pages.

Probably still wrong, but now less so.

XFS appears to call clear_page_dirty to get the mapping tree dirty tag
set correctly at the same time the page dirty flag is cleared.  I note
that this can be done by set_page_writeback() if we clear the dirty flag
on the page first when we are writing back the entire page.

Hence it seems to me that the XFS call to clear_page_dirty() could
easily be substituted by clear_page_dirty_for_io() followed by a call to
set_page_writeback() to get the mapping tree tags set correctly after
the page has been marked clean.

This patch removes some questionable code that attempted to make a

Calling metapage_writepage against such a page will not result in any
I/O being performed, so removing this code shouldn't be a big deal.

[ It's likely that we could have just replaced the "clear_page_dirty()"
  call with a call to "cancel_dirty_page()" instead, but in the
  meantime this is cleaner and simpler anyway, so unless there is some

They were horribly easy to mis-use because of their tempting naming, and
they also did way more than any users of them generally wanted them to
do.

A dirty page can become clean under two circumstances:

 (a) when we write it out.  We have "clear_page_dirty_for_io()" for
     this, and that function remains unchanged.

     In the "for IO" case it is not sufficient to just clear the dirty
     bit, you also have to mark the page as being under writeback etc.

 (b) when we actually remove a page due to it becoming inaccessible to
     users, notably because it was truncate()'d away or the file (or
     metadata) no longer exists, and we thus want to cancel any
     outstanding dirty state.

For the (b) case, we now introduce "cancel_dirty_page()", which only
touches the page state itself, and verifies that the page is not mapped
(since cancelling writes on a mapped page would be actively wrong as it
is still accessible to users).

Some filesystems need to be fixed up for this: CIFS, FUSE, JFS,
ReiserFS, XFS all use the old confusing functions, and will be fixed
separately in subsequent commits (with some of them just removing the
offending logic, and others using clear_page_dirty_for_io()).

This was confirmed by Martin Michlmayr to fix the apt database
corruption on ARM.

  [GFS2] Fix Kconfig
  [DLM] fix compile warning

Problem:
  sched_fork() has always called scheduler_tick() in some (unlikely)
  circumstances in order to update the current task in light of those
  circumstances.  It has always been the case that the work done by
  scheduler_tick() was more than was required to handle the problem in
  hand but no harm was done except for the waste of a few CPU cycles.

  However, the splitting of scheduler_tick() into two procedures in
  2.6.20-rc1 enables the wasted cycles to be saved as the new procedure
  task_running_tick() does all the work that is required to rectify the
  problem being handled.

Solution:
  Replace the call to scheduler_tick() in sched_fork() with a call to
  task_running_tick().

if CONFIG_CALGARY_IOMMU is built into the kernel via
CONFIG_CALGARY_IOMMU_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT, or is enabled via the
iommu=calgary boot option, then the detect_calgary() function runs to
detect the presence of a Calgary IOMMU.

detect_calgary() first searches the BIOS EBDA area for a "rio_table_hdr"
BIOS table. It has this parsing algorithm for the EBDA:

	while (offset) {
		...
		/* The next offset is stored in the 1st word. 0 means no more */
 		offset = *((unsigned short *)(ptr + offset));
	}

got that? Lets repeat it slowly: we've got a BIOS-supplied data
structure, plus Linux kernel code that will only break out of an
infinite parsing loop once the BIOS gives a zero offset. Ok?

Translation: what an excellent opportunity for BIOS writers to lock up
the Linux boot process in an utterly hard to debug place! Indeed the
BIOS jumped on that opportunity on my box, which has the following EBDA
chaining layout:

  384, 65282, 65535, 65535, 65535, 65535, 65535, 65535 ...

see the pattern? So my, definitely non-Calgary system happily locks up
in detect_calgary()!

the patch below fixes the boot hang by trusting the BIOS-supplied data
structure a bit less: the parser always has to make forward progress,
and if it doesnt, we break out of the loop and i get the expected kernel
message:

one of my boxes didnt boot the 2.6.20-rc1-rt0 kernel rpm, it hung during
early bootup. After an hour or two of happy debugging i narrowed it down
to the CALGARY_IOMMU_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT option, which was freshly added
to 2.6.20 via the x86_64 tree and /enabled by default/.

commit bff6547b claims:

    [PATCH] Calgary: allow compiling Calgary in but not using it by default

    This patch makes it possible to compile Calgary in but not use it by
    default. In this mode, use 'iommu=calgary' to activate it.

but the change does not actually practice it:

 config CALGARY_IOMMU_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT
        bool "Should Calgary be enabled by default?"
        default y
        depends on CALGARY_IOMMU
        help
          Should Calgary be enabled by default? if you choose 'y', Calgary
          will be used (if it exists). If you choose 'n', Calgary will not be
          used even if it exists. If you choose 'n' and would like to use
          Calgary anyway, pass 'iommu=calgary' on the kernel command line.
          If unsure, say Y.

it's both 'default y', and says "If unsure, say Y". Clearly not a typo.

disabling this option makes my box boot again. The patch below fixes the
Kconfig entry. Grumble.
