d945e1df28 IB/srp: Fix tracking of pending requests during error handling
If a SCSI abort completes, or the command completes successfully, then
the driver must remove the command from its queue of pending
commands.  Similarly, if a device reset succeeds, then all commands
queued for the given device must be removed from the queue.

6810b548b2 [PATCH] x86_64: Move ondemand timer into own work queue
Taking the cpu hotplug semaphore in a normal events workqueue
is unsafe because other tasks can wait for any workqueues with
it hold. This results in a deadlock.

Move the DBS timer into its own work queue which is not

ac71d12c99 [PATCH] x86_64: Avoid EBDA area in early boot allocator
Based on analysis&patch from Robert Hentosch

Observed on a Dell PE6850 with 16GB

The problem occurs very early on, when the kernel allocates space for the
temporary memory map called bootmap. The bootmap overlaps the EBDA region.
EBDA region is not historically reserved in the e820 mapping. When the
bootmap is freed it marks the EBDA region as usable.

If you notice in setup.c there is already code to work around the EBDA
in reserve_ebda_region(), this check however occurs after the bootmap
is allocated and doesn't prevent the bootmap from using this range.

AK: I redid the original patch. Thanks also to Jan Beulich for
spotting some mistakes.

8b1ffe9550 [PATCH] x86_64: add nmi_exit to die_nmi
Playing with NMI watchdog on x86_64, I discovered that it didn't
do what I expected.  It always panic-ed, even when it didn't
happen from interrupt context.  This patch solves that
problem for me.  Also, in this case, do_exit() will be called
with interrupts disabled, I believe.  Would it be wise to also
call local_irq_enable() after nmi_exit()?
[Yes I added it -AK]

Currently, on x86_64, any NMI watchdog timeout will cause a panic
because the irq count will always be set to be in an interrupt
when do_exit() is called from die_nmi().  If we add nmi_exit() to
the die_nmi() call (since the nmi will never exit "normally")
it seems to solve this problem.  The following small program
can be used to trigger the NMI watchdog to reproduce this:
  main ()
  {
        iopl(3);
        for (;;) asm("cli");
  }

cdc60a4c8e [PATCH] x86_64: fix die_lock nesting
I noticed this when poking around in this area.

The oops_begin() function in x86_64 would only conditionally claim
the die_lock if the call is nested, but oops_end() would always
release the spinlock. This patch adds a nest count for the die lock
so that the release of the lock is only done on the final oops_end().

e0c1e9bf81 [PATCH] x86_64: avoid IRQ0 ioapic pin collision
The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets
re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device.  The patch
corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is
avoided.  Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by
original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up.  The VIA chipset uses
4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot
handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices.  The patch corrects this
problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.
