Remove a BUG_ON for when interrupts are disabled during an MMC request.
During boot, interrupts can be disabled when a request is made, causing
this bug to be triggered. In reality, there's no reason this should halt
the kernel, as the driver has proved reliable in spite of disabled
interrupts, and additionally, there's nothing in this code that would
require interrupts to be enabled.
The only setup I've managed to make it trigger on is on the HTC Herald
during bootup when the driver is built into the kernel (mostly because
that's all I have). I believe it's related to the fact that on bootup I
get many timeout errors on "CMD5" while initializing the card. Each CMD5
timeout triggers that bug (I changed it to a WARN_ON to get it to boot in)
due to the fact that part of the timeout code involves sending the request
again. With interrupts turned off, that BUG would be triggered.

Author: Nishanth Aravamudan <nacc@us.ibm.com>
Date: Tue Apr 29 00:58:25 2008 -0700
page allocator: smarter retry of costly-order allocations
Original intention was "return success if the system have shrinkable zones
though priority==0 reclaim was failure". But the above patch changed to
"return nr_reclaimed if .....". Oh, That forgot nr_reclaimed may be 0 if
priority==0 reclaim failure.
And Johannes's patch 0aeb2339e5 ("vmscan: remove all_unreclaimable scan
control") made it more corrupt. Originally, priority==0 reclaim failure
on memcg return 0, but this patch changed to return 1. It totally
confused memcg.
This patch fixes it completely.

Child groups should have a greater depth than their parents. Prior to
this change, the parent would incorrectly report zero memory usage for
child cgroups when use_hierarchy is enabled.
test script:
mount -t cgroup none /cgroups -o memory
cd /cgroups
mkdir cg1
echo 1 > cg1/memory.use_hierarchy
mkdir cg1/cg11
echo $$ > cg1/cg11/tasks
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1
echo
echo CHILD
grep cache cg1/cg11/memory.stat
echo
echo PARENT
grep cache cg1/memory.stat
echo $$ > tasks
rmdir cg1/cg11 cg1
cd /
umount /cgroups
Using fae9c79, a recent patch that changed alloc_css_id() depth computation,
the parent incorrectly reports zero usage:
root@ubuntu:~# ./test

task_struct->pesonality is "unsigned int", but sys_personality() paths use
"unsigned long pesonality". This means that every assignment or
comparison is not right. In particular, if this argument does not fit
into "unsigned int" __set_personality() changes the caller's personality
and then sys_personality() returns -EINVAL.
Turn this argument into "unsigned int" and avoid overflows. Obviously,
this is the user-visible change, we just ignore the upper bits. But this
can't break the sane application.
There is another thing which can confuse the poorly written applications.
User-space thinks that this syscall returns int, not long. This means
that the returned value can be negative and look like the error code. But
note that libc won't be confused and thus errno won't be set, and with
this patch the user-space can never get -1 unless sys_personality() really
fails. And, most importantly, the negative RET != -1 is only possible if
that app previously called personality(RET).

The C-state idle time is not calculated correctly, which will return the wrong
residency time in C-state. It will have the following effects:
1. The system can't choose the deeper C-state when it is idle next time.
Of course the system power is increased. E.g. On one server machine about 40W
idle power is increased.
2. The powertop shows that it will stay in C0 running state about 95% time
although the system is idle at most time.

I2C drivers can use the clientdata-pointer to point to private data. As I2C
devices are not really unregistered, but merely detached from their driver, it
used to be the drivers obligation to clear this pointer during remove() or a
failed probe(). As a couple of drivers forgot to do this, it was agreed that it
was cleaner if the i2c-core does this clearance when appropriate, as there is
no guarantee for the lifetime of the clientdata-pointer after remove() anyhow.
This feature was added to the core with commit
e4a7b9b04d to fix the faulty drivers.
As there is no need anymore to clear the clientdata-pointer, remove all current
occurrences in the drivers to simplify the code and prevent confusion.

Do basic address validity checks when a client is being registered. We
already had checks in place for devices which are being detected, but
not for devices which are simply instantiated.
This is a very basic check. We don't want to do strict checking here
because some devices are known to infringe the I2C address constraints
(e.g. IR receivers at 7-bit address 0x7a while this value is
supposedly reserved for 10-bit addresses.) So we assume the caller
