c660629059 [PATCH] parport: buffer overflow fix
Fix potential buffer overflow in case the device ID did not end in semicolon.
Also might fail to negotiate back to IEEE1284_MODE_COMPAT in case of failure.
parport_device_id did not return what Documentation/parport-lowlevel.txt said,
so I changed it to match it.

Determining device ID length is overly complicated, but Tim Waugh recalled on
linux-parport seeing some buggy device that might need it.

8129ee1642 [PATCH] s390: qdio V=V pass-through
New feature V=V qdio pass-through.

QDIO and HiperSockets processing in z/VM V=V guest environments (as well as
V=R with z/VM running in LPAR mode) requires shadowing of all QDIO
architecture queue elements.  Especially the shadowing of SBALs and SLSBs
structures in the hypervisor, and the need to issue SIGA SYNC operations to
observe state changes, eventually causes significant CPU processing overhead
in the hypervisor.

The QDIO pass-through support for V=V guests avoids the shadowing of SBALs and
SLSBs.  This significantly reduces the hypervisor overhead for QDIO based I/O.

e6a9918c96 [PATCH] x86: Fixed pnp bios limits
PnP BIOS data, code, and 32-bit entry segments all have fixed limits as well;
set them in the GDT rather than adding more code.  It would be nice to add
these fixups to the boot GDT rather than setting the GDT for each CPU; perhaps
I can wiggle this in later, but getting it in before the subsys init looks
tricky.

Also, make some progress on deprecating the ugly Q_SET_SEL macros.

5fe9fe3c6f [PATCH] x86: Pnp byte granularity
The one remaining caller of set_limit, the PnP BIOS code, calls into the PnP
BIOS, passing kernel parameters in and out.  These parameteres may be passed
from arbitrary kernel virtual memory, so they deserve strict protection to
stop a bad BIOS from smashing beyond the object size.

Unfortunately, the use of set_limit was badly botching this by setting the
limit in terms of pages, when it really should have byte granularity.

When doing this, I discovered my BIOS had the buggy code during the "get
system device node" call:

 mov ax, es:[bx]

Which is harmless, but has a trivial workaround.

4b2f0260c7 [PATCH] nbd: fix TX/RX race condition
Janos Haar of First NetCenter Bt.  reported numerous crashes involving the
NBD driver.  With his help, this was tracked down to bogus bio vectors
which in turn was the result of a race condition between the
receive/transmit routines in the NBD driver.

The bug manifests itself like this:

CPU0				CPU1
do_nbd_request
	add req to queuelist
	nbd_send_request
		send req head
		for each bio
			kmap
			send
				nbd_read_stat
					nbd_find_request
					nbd_end_request
			kunmap

When CPU1 finishes nbd_end_request, the request and all its associated
bio's are freed.  So when CPU0 calls kunmap whose argument is derived from
the last bio, it may crash.

Under normal circumstances, the race occurs only on the last bio.  However,
if an error is encountered on the remote NBD server (such as an incorrect
magic number in the request), or if there were a bug in the server, it is
possible for the nbd_end_request to occur any time after the request's
addition to the queuelist.

The following patch fixes this problem by making sure that requests are not
added to the queuelist until after they have been completed transmission.

In order for the receiving side to be ready for responses involving
requests still being transmitted, the patch introduces the concept of the
active request.

When a response matches the current active request, its processing is
delayed until after the tranmission has come to a stop.

This has been tested by Janos and it has been successful in curing this
race condition.

  Here is an updated patch which removes the active_req wait in
  nbd_clear_queue and the associated memory barrier.

  I've also clarified this in the comment.

6e49388272 [PATCH] pcmcia: cleanup cs.c, reduce size
kill the socket_shutdown()/shutdown_socket() confusion by making it
one single function. move cs_socket_put() in there. nicer to read and
smaller:
