db888aed7e [PATCH] zd1211rw: Fix of signal strength and quality measurement
Caused by a documentation issue I mixed up fields of the zd_status
structure. This patch fixes it and improves also the average
computation, which is now using only measurements of packets sent
by the access point.

1c7d67073e [IA64] Save register stack contents on cpu start
The SN PROM uses the register stack in the slave loop. The contents
must be preserved for the OS to return to the slave loop via offlining
a cpu or for kexec. A 'flushrs" is needed to force the stack to be written
to memory prior to changing bspstore.

e9f7bee1df [PATCH] NFS: large non-page-aligned direct I/O clobbers memory
The logic in nfs_direct_read_schedule and nfs_direct_write_schedule can
allow data->npages to be one larger than rpages.  This causes a page
pointer to be written beyond the end of the pagevec in nfs_read_data (or
nfs_write_data).

Fix this by making nfs_(read|write)_alloc() calculate the size of the
pagevec array, and initialise data->npages.

Also get rid of the redundant argument to nfs_commit_alloc().

016eb4a0ed [PATCH] invalidate_complete_page() race fix
If a CPU faults this page into pagetables after invalidate_mapping_pages()
checked page_mapped(), invalidate_complete_page() will still proceed to remove
the page from pagecache.  This leaves the page-faulting process with a
detached page.  If it was MAP_SHARED then file data loss will ensue.

Fix that up by checking the page's refcount after taking tree_lock.

Looking at the code, it looks like it's not handle HOLE correctly.  It ends
up returning -EIO.  Here is the patch to fix it.

If we really want to be paranoid, we can allow return values 0 (HOLE), 1
(we asked for one block) and return -EIO for more than 1 block.  But I
really don't see a reason for doing it - all we need is the block# here.
(doesn't matter how many blocks are mapped).

ext3_get_blocks_handle() returns number of blocks it mapped.  It returns 0
in case of HOLE.  ext3_getblk() should handle HOLE properly (currently its
dumping warning stack and returning -EIO).

c5780e976e [PATCH] Use the correct restart option for futex_lock_pi
The current implementation of futex_lock_pi returns -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK
in case that the lock operation has been interrupted by a signal.  This
results in a return of -EINTR to userspace in case there is an handler for
the signal.  This is wrong, because userspace expects that the lock
function does not return in any case of signal delivery.

This was not caught by my insufficient test case, but triggered a nasty
userspace problem in an high load application scenario.  Unfortunately also
glibc does not check for this invalid return value.

Using -ERSTARTNOINTR makes sure, that the interrupted syscall is restarted.
 The restart block related code can be safely removed, as the possible
timeout argument is an absolute time value.

3a45975681 [PATCH] IA64,sparc: local DoS with corrupted ELFs
This prevents cross-region mappings on IA64 and SPARC which could lead
to system crash.  They were correctly trapped for normal mmap() calls,
but not for the kernel internal calls generated by executable loading.

This code just moves the architecture-specific cross-region checks into
an arch-specific "arch_mmap_check()" macro, and defines that for the
architectures that needed it (ia64, sparc and sparc64).

Architectures that don't have any special requirements can just ignore
the new cross-region check, since the mmap() code will just notice on
its own when the macro isn't defined.

96dd7421a0 [PATCH] prevent timespec/timeval to ktime_t overflow
Frank v.  Waveren pointed out that on 64bit machines the timespec to
ktime_t conversion might overflow.  This is also true for timeval to
ktime_t conversions.  This breaks a "sleep inf" on 64bit machines.

While a timespec/timeval with tx.sec = MAX_LONG is valid by specification
the internal representation of ktime_t is based on nanoseconds.  The
conversion of seconds to nanoseconds overflows for seconds values >=
(MAX_LONG / NSEC_PER_SEC).

Check the seconds argument to the conversion and limit it to the maximum
time which can be represented by ktime_t.

a188ad2bc7 [ARM] 3762/1: Fix ptrace cache coherency bug for ARM1136 VIPT nonaliasing Harvard caches
Patch from George G. Davis

Resolve ARM1136 VIPT non-aliasing cache coherency issues observed when
using ptrace to set breakpoints and cleanup copy_{to,from}_user_page()
while we're here as requested by Russell King because "it's also far
too heavy on non-v6 CPUs".

NOTES:

1. Only access_process_vm() calls copy_{to,from}_user_page().
2. access_process_vm() calls get_user_pages() to pin down the "page".
3. get_user_pages() calls flush_dcache_page(page) which ensures cache
   coherency between kernel and userspace mappings of "page".  However
   flush_dcache_page(page) may not invalidate I-Cache over this range
   for all cases, specifically, I-Cache is not invalidated for the VIPT
   non-aliasing case.  So memory is consistent between kernel and user
   space mappings of "page" but I-Cache may still be hot over this
   range.  IOW, we don't have to worry about flush_cache_page() before
   memcpy().
4. Now, for the copy_to_user_page() case, after memcpy(), we must flush
   the caches so memory is consistent with kernel cache entries and
   invalidate the I-Cache if this mm region is executable.  We don't
   need to do anything after memcpy() for the copy_from_user_page()
   case since kernel cache entries will be invalidated via the same
   process above if we access "page" again.  The flush_ptrace_access()
   function (borrowed from SPARC64 implementation) is added to handle
   cache flushing after memcpy() for the copy_to_user_page() case.

3b98b087fc [PATCH] fix NUMA interleaving for huge pages
Since vma->vm_pgoff is in units of smallpages, VMAs for huge pages have the
lower HPAGE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT bits always cleared, which results in badd
offsets to the interleave functions.  Take this difference from small pages
into account when calculating the offset.  This does add a 0-bit shift into
the small-page path (via alloc_page_vma()), but I think that is negligible.
 Also add a BUG_ON to prevent the offset from growing due to a negative
right-shift, which probably shouldn't be allowed anyways.

Tested on an 8-memory node ppc64 NUMA box and got the interleaving I
expected.

  Problems fixed are:
   - Call to default_hwif_mmiops() was not being done until _after_
     first IO operation, resulting in the first IO operation being
     done as a port IO op, instead of memio.
   - request_region() calls needed to be request_mem_region()
   - Incomplete error case handling.

The port to genirq & the new powerpc interrupt model in 2.6.18 introduced a
bug in the legacy PowerMac PIC code (used on older machines) because of a
typo potentially causing hangs due to interrupt storms.  This fixes it,
along with a performance issue causing us to do spurrious retriggers after
masking an interrupt.

d565dd3b08 [PATCH] powerpc: More via-pmu backlight fixes
The via-pmu backlight code (introduced in 2.6.18) has various design issues
causing crashes on machines using it like the old Wallstreet powerbook
(Michael, the author, never managed to test on these and I just got my hand
on one of those old beasts).

This fixes them by no longer trying to hijack the backlight device of the
frontmost framebuffer (causing that framebuffer to crash) but having it's
own local bits instead.  Might look weird but it's better that way on those
old machines, at least as a last-minute fix for 2.6.18.  We might rework
the whole thing later.  This patch also changes the way it gets notified of
sleep and wakeup in order to properly shut the backlight down on sleep and
bring it back on wakeup.

0b1d647a02 [PATCH] dm: work around mempool_alloc, bio_alloc_bioset deadlocks
This patch works around a complex dm-related deadlock/livelock down in the
mempool allocator.

Alasdair said:

  Several dm targets suffer from this.

  Mempools are not yet used correctly everywhere in device-mapper: they can
  get shared when devices are stacked, and some targets share them across
  multiple instances.  I made fixing this one of the prerequisites for this
  patch:

    md-dm-reduce-stack-usage-with-stacked-block-devices.patch

  which in some cases makes people more likely to hit the problem.

  There's been some progress on this recently with (unfinished) dm-crypt
  patches at:

    http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/agk/patches/2.6/editing/
      (dm-crypt-move-io-to-workqueue.patch plus dependencies)

and:

  I've no problems with a temporary workaround like that, but Milan Broz (a
  new Redhat developer in the Czech Republic) has started reviewing all the
  mempool usage in device-mapper so I'm expecting we'll soon have a proper fix
  for this associated problems.  [He's back from holiday at the start of next
  week.]

For now, this sad-but-safe little patch will allow the machine to recover.

a9eec55623 [PATCH] IPMI: fix occasional oops on module unload
Olaf Kirch of SuSE tracked down a problem where module unloads of the IPMI
driver would occasionally result in Oopses.  He tracked that down to a
variable that wasn't always initialized properly in some situations.  This
patch initializes that variable.  Olaf sent a patch that kzalloc-ed the
data, but this structure is large enough that I would perfer to not do
that.  Thanks Olaf!

ef16b5194f [PATCH] exit early in floppy_init when no floppy exists
modprobe -v floppy on a Apple G5 writes incorrect stuff to dmesg:

Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 2.88M

The reason is that the legacy io check happens very late,
when part of the floppy stuff is already initialized.
check_legacy_ioport() returns either -ENODEV right away, or it walks
the device-tree looking for a floppy node.

a9aa141cfc [PATCH] x86: increase MAX_MP_BUSSES on default arch
Vitezslav Samel <samel@mail.cz> reports that an HP DL380 g4 fails using the
default arch due to the ISA bus having an ID of 32.

It would have worked OK with the generic arch - for some reason the default
arch doesn't support as many busses.

So bump that up to support 256 busses, but leave it at 32 if we're building a
tiny system to save a bit of memory.

35df17c57c [PATCH] task delay accounting fixes
Cleanup allocation and freeing of tsk->delays used by delay accounting.
This solves two problems reported for delay accounting:

1. oops in __delayacct_blkio_ticks
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1844.html

Currently tsk->delays is getting freed too early in task exit which can
cause a NULL tsk->delays to get accessed via reading of /proc/<tgid>/stats.
 The patch fixes this problem by freeing tsk->delays closer to when
task_struct itself is freed up.  As a result, it also eliminates the use of
tsk->delays_lock which was only being used (inadequately) to safeguard
access to tsk->delays while a task was exiting.

2. Possible memory leak in kernel/delayacct.c
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1389.html

The patch cleans up tsk->delays allocations after a bad fork which was
missing earlier.

The patch has been tested to fix the problems listed above and stress
tested with rapid calls to delay accounting's taskstats command interface
(which is the other path that can access the same data, besides the /proc
interface causing the oops above).

30f3174d1c [PATCH] Fix faulty HPET clocksource usage (fix for bug #7062)
Apparently some systems export valid HPET addresses, but hpet_enable()
fails.  Then when the HPET clocksource starts up, it only checks for a
valid HPET address, and the result is a system where time does not advance.

See http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7062 for details.

This patch just makes sure we better check that the HPET is functional
before registering the HPET clocksource.
