2011-04-05block: get rid of elv_insert() interfaceJens Axboe
Merge it with __elv_add_request(), it's pretty pointless to have a function with only two callers. The main interface is elv_add_request()/__elv_add_request(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-04-04tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills upLinus Torvalds
Commit f23eb2b2b285 ('tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer') ended up causing hung machines on UP with no preemption, because the work routine to flip the buffer data to the ldisc would endlessly re-arm itself if the destination buffer had filled up. With the delayed work, that only caused a timer-driving polling of the tty state every timer tick, but without the delay we just ended up with basically a busy loop instead. Stop the insane polling, and instead make the code that opens up the receive room re-schedule the buffer flip work. That's what we should have been doing anyway. This same "poll for tty room" issue is almost certainly also the cause of excessive kworker activity when idle reported by Dave Jones, who also reported "flush_to_ldisc executing 2500 times a second" back in Nov 2010: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/30/592 which is that silly flushing done every timer tick. Wasting both power and CPU for no good reason.

Sneaky or buggy calls to adjtimex() could set ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ | ADJ_SETOFFSET which would result in a successful call to timekeeping_inject_offset().

2011-04-01ALSA: pcm: fix infinite loop in snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0()Kelly Anderson
When period interrupts are disabled, snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0() compares the current time against the time estimated for the current hardware pointer to detect xruns. The somewhat fuzzy threshold in the while loop makes it possible that hdelta becomes negative; the comparison being done with unsigned types then makes the loop go through the entire 263 negative range, and, depending on the value, never reach an unsigned value that is small enough to stop the loop. Doing this with interrupts disabled results in the machine locking up. To prevent this, ensure that the loop condition uses signed types for both operands so that the comparison is correctly done. Many thanks to Kelly Anderson for debugging this.
