I don't claim to understand the tty layer, but it seems like hvc_open and
hvc_close should be balanced in their kref reference counting.

Right now we get a kref every call to hvc_open:

        if (hp->count++ > 0) {
                tty_kref_get(tty); <----- here
                spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hp->lock, flags);
                hvc_kick();
                return 0;
        } /* else count == 0 */

        tty->driver_data = hp;

        hp->tty = tty_kref_get(tty); <------ or here if hp->count was 0

But hvc_close has:

        tty_kref_get(tty);

        if (--hp->count == 0) {
...
                /* Put the ref obtained in hvc_open() */
                tty_kref_put(tty);
...
        }

        tty_kref_put(tty);

Since the outside kref get/put balance we only do a single kref_put when
count reaches 0.

The patch below changes things to call tty_kref_put once for every
hvc_close call, and with that my machine boots fine.

Commit 148f948b (vfs: Introduce new
helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) broke
the raw driver.

We now call through generic_file_aio_write -> generic_write_sync ->
vfs_fsync_range.  vfs_fsync_range has:

        if (!fop || !fop->fsync) {
                ret = -EINVAL;
                goto out;
        }

But drivers/char/raw.c doesn't set an fsync method.

We have two options: fix it or remove the raw driver completely.  I'm
happy to do either, the fact this has been broken for so long suggests it
is rarely used.

The patch below adds an fsync method to the raw driver.  My knowledge of
the block layer is pretty sketchy so this could do with a once over.

If we instead decide to remove the raw driver, this patch might still be
useful as a backport to 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Commit e1108a63 ("usb_serial: Use the

starting in 2.6.33.  This was observed when using
console=ttyUSB0,115200 as a boot argument with an FTDI device.  The
error is:

ftdi_sio ttyUSB0: ftdi_submit_read_urb - failed submitting read urb, error -22

The handling of the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED changed in 2.6.32 such that in
tty_port_shutdown() it always clears the flag if it is set.  The fix
is to add a variable to the tty_port struct to indicate when the tty
port is a console.

Alan pointed out a race in the code where hvc_remove is invoked. The
recent virtio_console work is the first user of hvc_remove().

Alan describes it thus:

The hvc_console assumes that a close and remove call can't occur at the
same time.

In addition tty_hangup(tty) is problematic as tty_hangup is asynchronous
itself....

So this can happen

        hvc_close                               hvc_remove
        hung up ? - no
                                                lock

This reverts commit eec9fe7d.

Ari writes as the reason this should be reverted:
	The problems with this patch include:
	1. There's at least one subtlety I overlooked - switching
	between X servers (i.e. from one X VT to another) still requires
	the cooperation of both X servers. I was assuming that KMS
	eliminated this.
	2. It hasn't been tested at all (no X server patch exists which
	uses the new mode).

As he was the original author of the patch, I'll revert it.

de957628 changed setting of the
x86_init.iommu.iommu_init function ptr only when GART IOMMU is
found.

One side effect of it is that num_k8_northbridges
is not initialized anymore if not explicitly
called. This resulted in uninitialized pointers in
<arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:amd_calc_l3_indices()>,
for example, which uses the num_k8_northbridges thing through
node_to_k8_nb_misc().

Fix that through an initcall that runs right after the PCI
subsystem and does all the scanning. Then, remove initialization
in gart_iommu_init() which is a rootfs_initcall and we're
running before that.

What is more, since num_k8_northbridges is being used in other
places beside GART IOMMU, include it whenever we add AMD CPU
support. The previous dependency chain in kconfig contained

K8_NB depends on AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU

which was clearly incorrect. The more natural way in terms of
hardware dependency should be

AGP_AMD64|GART_IOMMU depends on K8_NB depends on CPU_SUP_AMD &&
PCI. Make it so Number One!

err.

We declare 'len' as int type but it should be 'unsigned int', as
get_buf() wants it to be.

The USB drivers often want to insert a series of bytes all with the same
flag set - provide a helper for this case.

This new VT mode (VT_PROCESS_AUTO) does everything that VT_PROCESS does
except that it doesn't wait for a VT_RELDISP ioctl before switching
away from a VT with that mode.

If the X server eventually uses this new mode, debugging and crash
recovery should become easier. This is because even when currently in
the VT of a frozen X server it would still be possible to switch out
by doing SysRq-r and then CTRL-<number of a text vt>, sshing in and
doing chvt <number of a text vt>, or any other method of VT switching.
The general concensus on #xorg-devel seems to be that it should be
safe to use this with X now that we have KMS.

This also moves the VT_ACKACQ define to a more appropriate place,
for clarity's sake.

We allocate during interrupts so while our buffering is normally diced up
small anyway on some hardware at speed we can pressure the VM excessively
for page pairs. We don't really need big buffers to be linear so don't try
so hard.

In order to make this work well we will tidy up excess callers to request_room,
which cannot itself enforce this break up.
