The intensity of the backlight can be varied from a range of
max_brightness to zero. Though most, if not all the pwm based backlight
devices start flickering at lower brightness value. And also for each
device there exists a brightness value below which the backlight appears
to be turned off though the value is not equal to zero.
If the range of brightness for a device is from zero to max_brightness. A
graph is plotted for brightness Vs intensity for the pwm based backlight
device has to be a linear graph.
intensity
| /
| /
| /
|/
---------
0 max_brightness
But pratically on measuring the above we note that the intensity of
backlight goes to zero(OFF) when the value in not zero almost nearing to
zero(some x%). so the graph looks like
intensity
| /
| /
| /
| |
------------
0 x max_brightness
In order to overcome this drawback knowing this x% i.e nothing but the low
threshold beyond which the backlight is off and will have no effect, the
brightness value is being offset by the low threshold value(retaining the
linearity of the graph). Now the graph becomes
intensity
| /
| /
| /
| /
-------------
0 max_brightness
With this for each and every digit increment in the brightness from zero
there is a change in the intensity of backlight. Devices having this
behaviour can set the low threshold brightness(lth_brightness) and pass
the same as platform data else can have it as zero.

Currently, blinking LEDs can be awkward because it is not guaranteed that
all LEDs implement blinking. The trigger that wants it to blink then
needs to implement its own timer solution.
Rather than require that, add led_blink_set() API that triggers can use.
This function will attempt to use hw blinking, but if that fails
implements a timer for it. To stop blinking again, brightness_set() also
needs to be wrapped into API that will stop the software blink.
As a result of this, the timer trigger becomes a very trivial one, and
hopefully we can finally see triggers using blinking as well because it's
always easy to use.

Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug:
In the following case, we get can get a deadlock:
0. The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0.
1. The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock.
2. The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item.
3. The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item is
moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued for
deletion after the readers finish.
3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in
the rcu-delayed indirect node.
4. The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref
count
5. The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed or
the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is looking
at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed because
the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop.
The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot
lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.

The kernel syslog contains debugging information that is often useful
during exploitation of other vulnerabilities, such as kernel heap
addresses. Rather than futilely attempt to sanitize hundreds (or
thousands) of printk statements and simultaneously cripple useful
debugging functionality, it is far simpler to create an option that
prevents unprivileged users from reading the syslog.
This patch, loosely based on grsecurity's GRKERNSEC_DMESG, creates the
dmesg_restrict sysctl. When set to "0", the default, no restrictions are
enforced. When set to "1", only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can read the
kernel syslog via dmesg(8) or other mechanisms.

70 hours into some stress tests of a 2.6.32-based enterprise kernel, we
ran into a NULL dereference in here:
int block_is_partially_uptodate(struct page *page, read_descriptor_t *desc,
unsigned long from)
{
----> struct inode *inode = page->mapping->host;
It looks like page->mapping was the culprit. (xmon trace is below).
After closer examination, I realized that do_generic_file_read() does a
find_get_page(), and eventually locks the page before calling
block_is_partially_uptodate(). However, it doesn't revalidate the
page->mapping after the page is locked. So, there's a small window
between the find_get_page() and ->is_partially_uptodate() where the page
could get truncated and page->mapping cleared.
We _have_ a reference, so it can't get reclaimed, but it certainly
can be truncated.
I think the correct thing is to check page->mapping after the
trylock_page(), and jump out if it got truncated. This patch has been
running in the test environment for a month or so now, and we have not
seen this bug pop up again.

clean_sort_range() should return a number of nonempty elements of range
array, but if the array is full clean_sort_range() returns 0.
The problem is that the number of nonempty elements is evaluated by
finding the first empty element of the array. If there is no such element
it returns an initial value of local variable nr_range that is zero.
The fix is trivial: it changes initial value of nr_range to size of the
array.
The bug can lead to loss of information regarding all ranges, since
typically returned value of clean_sort_range() is considered as an actual
number of ranges in the array after a series of add/subtract operations.

Followup of perf tools session in Netfilter WorkShop 2010
In the network stack we make high usage of atomic_inc_not_zero() in
contexts we know the probable value of atomic before increment (2 for udp
sockets for example)
Using a special version of atomic_inc_not_zero() giving this hint can help
processor to use less bus transactions.
On x86 (MESI protocol) for example, this avoids entering Shared state,
because "lock cmpxchg" issues an RFO (Read For Ownership)
akpm: Adds a new include/linux/atomic.h. This means that new code should
henceforth include linux/atomic.h and not asm/atomic.h. The presence of
include/linux/atomic.h will in fact cause checkpatch.pl to warn about use
of asm/atomic.h. The new include/linux/atomic.h becomes the place where
arch-neutral atomic_t code should be placed.

The size calculation is done incorrectly here because it should include
both the start and end (end - start + 1). It's easiest to just use
resource_size() which does the right thing.
I was worried there was something non-standard going on because the
printk() subtracts "end - 1", but the rest of the file uses the normal
resource size calculations. This function is only called from
fsl_rio_setup() in arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_rio.c and the calculation
there is also:
port->iores.start = law_start;
port->iores.end = law_start + law_size - 1;
So I think this is the correct fix.

0a3d763f1a introduced the undeclared variable "datavp". The patch seems
completely untested. :-(
9b05a69e05 changed arch_ptrace()'s signature but did not update
um/include/asm/ptrace-generic.h.

As pointed out by Linus, commit dab5855 ("perf_counter: Add mmap event hooks to
mprotect()") is fundamentally wrong as mprotect_fixup() can free 'vma' due to
merging. Fix the problem by moving perf_event_mmap() hook to
mprotect_fixup().
Note: there's another successful return path from mprotect_fixup() if old
flags equal to new flags. We don't, however, need to call
perf_event_mmap() there because 'perf' already knows the VMA is
executable.

Commit 13cfb7334e made cifs_ioctl use the tlink attached to the
cifsFileInfo for a filp. This ignores the case of an open directory
however, which in CIFS can have a NULL private_data until a readdir
is done on it.
This patch re-adds the NULL pointer checks that were removed in commit
50ae28f01 and moves the setting of tcon and "caps" variables lower.
Long term, a better fix would be to establish a f_op->open routine for
directories that populates that field at open time, but that requires
some other changes to how readdir calls are handled.

Commit 5c521830cf (ext4: Support discard requests when running in
no-journal mode) attempts to add sb_issue_discard() for data blocks
(in data=writeback mode) and in no-journal mode. Unfortunately, this
no longer works, because in commit dd3932eddf (block: remove
BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT), sb_issue_discard() only presents a synchronous
interface, and there are times when we call ext4_free_blocks() when we
are are holding a spinlock, or are otherwise in an atomic context.
For now, I've removed the call to sb_issue_discard() to prevent a
deadlock or (if spinlock debugging is enabled) failures like this:

Use an atomic_t and make sure we don't free the structure while we

Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when
it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this
because it was the target of a rename). In ordered mode, we need to
make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the
rename (or unlink) is committed. If the inode is being freed then
when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at
fs/ext4/page-io.c:146.
To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io
callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they
have all been completed. That way we don't have to bump the inode
count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which
doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to
zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not
allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started
getting freed).
Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also
used by XFS.
