Andre Detsch 61b36fc1f7 [POWERPC] cell: fix spurious false return from spu_trap_data_{map,seg}
At present, the __spufs_trap_data_map and __spu_trap_data_seq functions
exit if spu->flags has the SPU_CONTEXT_SWITCH_ACTIVE set. This was
resulting in suprious returns from these functions, as they may be
legitimately called when we have this bit set.

We only use it in these two sanity checks, so this change removes the
flag completely. This fixes hangs in the page-fault path of SPE apps.

As reported by Tomas Simonaitis <tomas.simonaitis@gmail.com>,

Commit efcd9971 ("IPoIB/cm: Factor out ipoib_cm_free_rx_reap_list()")
introduced a bug in ipoib_cm_dev_stop() when the receive drain times
out.  In that case, the function moves all the pending rx stuff into a
private list but then calls ipoib_cm_free_rx_reap_list(), which
handles a different list.

Fix this by moving everything to the rx_reap_list that will actually
get freed up.

This fixes <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=906>.

Linus Torvalds 00e962c540 Revert "SLUB: Alternate fast paths using cmpxchg_local"
This reverts commit 1f84260c8c, which is
suspected to be the reason for some very occasional and hard-to-trigger
crashes that usually look related to memory allocation (mostly reported
in networking, but since that's generally the most common source of
shortlived allocations - and allocations in interrupt contexts - that in
itself is not a big clue).

See for example
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9973
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/278
etc.

One promising suspicion for what the root cause of bug is (which also
explains why it's so hard to trigger in practice) came from Eric
Dumazet:

   "I wonder how SLUB_FASTPATH is supposed to work, since it is affected
    by a classical ABA problem of lockless algo.

    cmpxchg_local(&c->freelist, object, object[c->offset]) can succeed,
    while an interrupt came (on this cpu), and several allocations were
    done, and one free was performed at the end of this interruption, so
    'object' was recycled.

    c->freelist can then contain the previous value (object), but
    object[c->offset] was changed by IRQ.

    We then put back in freelist an already allocated object."

but another reason for the revert is simply that everybody agrees that
this code was the main suspect just by virtue of the pattern of oopses.
