BITS_PER_LONG is a signed value (32 or 64)
DIV_ROUND_UP(nr, BITS_PER_LONG) performs signed arithmetic if "nr" is signed
too.
Converting BITS_TO_LONGS(nr) to DIV_ROUND_UP(nr, BITS_PER_BYTE * sizeof(long))
makes sure compiler can perform a right shift, even if "nr" is a signed value,

Latest rework of kgdb8250_interrupt caused a regression in that the new

works before the changeset), which returns 0 if the attribute lacked a

Some devices - notably dm and md - can change their behaviour in
response to BIO_RW_BARRIER requests. They might start out accepting
such requests but on reconfiguration, they find out that they cannot
any more.
ext3 (and other filesystems) deal with this by always testing if

Hi,
What you *could* do is to start putting processes to sleep if they
attempt to write to the frozen filesystem, and then detect the
deadlock case where the process holding the file descriptor used to
freeze the filesystem gets frozen because it attempted to write to the
