[PATCH] pci: don't try to remove sysfs files before they are setup.
The PCI sysfs attributes are created after the initial PCI bus scan. With
the addition of more return value checking and assertions in the device and
sysfs layers we now can get dumps like this on sparc64:
It's triggering because removal of the "config" PCI sysfs file for the
device fails.
On sparc64, after probing the device, we'll delete the PCI device via
pci_remove_bus_device() if we cannot find the firmware device tree node
corresponding to it.
This is fine, but at this point the sysfs files for the PCI device won't be
setup yet.
So we should not try to do anything in pci_remove_sysfs_dev_files() if
pci_sysfs_init() has not run yet.

[PATCH] usbfs: private mutex for open, release, and remove
The usbfs code doesn't provide sufficient mutual exclusion among open,
release, and remove. Release vs. remove is okay because they both
acquire the device lock, but open is not exclusive with either one. All
three routines modify the udev->filelist linked list, so they must not
run concurrently.
Apparently someone gave this a minimum amount of thought in the past by
explicitly acquiring the BKL at the start of the usbdev_open routine.
Oddly enough, there's a comment pointing out that locking is unnecessary
because chrdev_open already has acquired the BKL.
But this ignores the point that the files in /proc/bus/usb/* are not
char device files; they are regular files and so they don't get any
special locking. Furthermore it's necessary to acquire the same lock in
the release and remove routines, which the code does not do.
Yet another problem arises because the same file_operations structure is
accessible through both the /proc/bus/usb/* and /dev/usb/usbdev* file
nodes. Even when one of them has been removed, it's still possible for
userspace to open the other. So simple locking around the individual
remove routines is insufficient; we need to lock the entire
usb_notify_remove_device notifier chain.
Rather than rely on the BKL, this patch (as723) introduces a new private
mutex for the purpose. Holding the BKL while invoking a notifier chain
doesn't seem like a good idea.

[PATCH] vmscan: Fix temp_priority race
The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim
path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten
(say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer.
The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but
it is fixed slightly differently. In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate
priority record per zone in a local array. In try_to_free_pages there is
no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we
reclaim from.
Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and
setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress
artificially low. They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are,
in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0).
This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly.
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>
__zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority. But zone->prev_priority
is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive
list. Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because
zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up
stuck on the active list.
Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as
__zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages.
This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created. It should be
possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?

[PATCH] posix-cpu-timers: prevent signal delivery starvation
The integer divisions in the timer accounting code can round the result

Clamp the division result to minimum 1 to avoid this.
Problem was reported by Seongbae Park <spark@google.com>, who provided
also an inital patch.
Roland sayeth:
I have had some more time to think about the problem, and to reproduce it
using Toyo's test case. For the record, if my understanding of the problem
is correct, this happens only in one very particular case. First, the
expiry time has to be so soon that in cputime_t units (usually 1s/HZ ticks)
it's < nthreads so the division yields zero. Second, it only affects each
thread that is so new that its CPU time accumulation is zero so now+0 is
still zero and ->it_*_expires winds up staying zero. For the VIRT and PROF
clocks when cputime_t is tick granularity (or the SCHED clock on
configurations where sched_clock's value only advances on clock ticks), this
is not hard to arrange with new threads starting up and blocking before they
accumulate a whole tick of CPU time. That's what happens in Toyo's test
case.
Note that in general it is fine for that division to round down to zero,
and set each thread's expiry time to its "now" time. The problem only
arises with thread's whose "now" value is still zero, so that now+0 winds up
0 and is interpreted as "not set" instead of ">= now". So it would be a
sufficient and more precise fix to just use max(ticks, 1) inside the loop
when setting each it_*_expires value.
But, it does no harm to round the division up to one and always advance
every thread's expiry time. If the thread didn't already fire timers for
the expiry time of "now", there is no expectation that it will do so before
the next tick anyway. So I followed Thomas's patch in lifting the max out
of the loops.
This patch also covers the reload cases, which are harder to write a test
for (and I didn't try). I've tested it with Toyo's case and it fixes that.

I was looking at a RHEL5 bug report involving Xen and SCTP
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212550).
It turns out that SCTP wasn't written to handle skb fragments at
all. The absence of any calls to skb_may_pull is testament to
that.
It just so happens that Xen creates fragmented packets more often
than other scenarios (header & data split when going from domU to
dom0). That's what caused this bug to show up.
Until someone has the time sits down and audits the entire net/sctp
directory, here is a conservative and safe solution that simply
linearises all packets on input.

[PATCH] fuse: fix hang on SMP
Fuse didn't always call i_size_write() with i_mutex held which caused
rare hangs on SMP/32bit. This bug has been present since fuse-2.2,
well before being merged into mainline.
The simplest solution is to protect i_size_write() with the
per-connection spinlock. Using i_mutex for this purpose would require
some restructuring of the code and I'm not even sure it's always safe
to acquire i_mutex in all places i_size needs to be set.
Since most of vmtruncate is already duplicated for other reasons,
duplicate the remaining part as well, making all i_size_write() calls
internal to fuse.
Using i_size_write() was unnecessary in fuse_init_inode(), since this
function is only called on a newly created locked inode.
Reported by a few people over the years, but special thanks to Dana
Henriksen who was persistent enough in helping me debug it.

[PATCH] knfsd: Fix race that can disable NFS server.
This is a long standing bug that seems to have only recently become
apparent, presumably due to increasing use of NFS over TCP - many
distros seem to be making it the default.
The SK_CONN bit gets set when a listening socket may be ready
for an accept, just as SK_DATA is set when data may be available.
It is entirely possible for svc_tcp_accept to be called with neither
of these set. It doesn't happen often but there is a small race in
svc_sock_enqueue as SK_CONN and SK_DATA are tested outside the
spin_lock. They could be cleared immediately after the test and
before the lock is gained.
This normally shouldn't be a problem. The sockets are non-blocking so
trying to read() or accept() when ther is nothing to do is not a problem.
However: svc_tcp_recvfrom makes the decision "Should I accept() or
should I read()" based on whether SK_CONN is set or not. This usually
works but is not safe. The decision should be based on whether it is
a TCP_LISTEN socket or a TCP_CONNECTED socket.

Typical wiring of MT352, ZL10353, NXT2002 and NXT2004 based tuners

failing to communicate with the PLL during an attach test and
subsequently not connecting the tuner ops.

check can be bypassed. Do this for the affected boards. Also fix a
possible NULL dereference at sleep time, which would otherwise be

At OOPS, the following happens:
The watchdog timer triggers, because the timeout of 5secs
is over. The watchdog first checks for stopped TX.
_Usually_ TX is only stopped from the TX handler to indicate
a full TX queue. But this is different. We need to stop TX here,
regardless of the TX queue state. So the watchdog recognizes
the stopped device and assumes it is stopped due to full
TX queues (Which is a _wrong_ assumption in this case). It then
tests how far the last TX has been in the past. If it's more than
5secs (which is the case for low or no traffic), it will fire
a TX timeout.

T0 doing SMC can endup modifying the new page Y (allocated by the T1 doing

if T0 executes the code created by SMC it can result in an app error (as

Fair enough, what you're changing it to is pretty much what powerpc and

with how ptes are set everywhere else.
The ptep_clear_flush is a bit heavy-handed (it's anxious to return the pte
that was atomically cleared), but we'd have to wander through lots of arches

integer by an unsigned 31 bit integer. The clocksource code
now uses do_div() with a base value that has the most

OneBasedChassisNumber corresponds to the NUMA node, and rionodeid is

problem was that we had an off by one error that caused us to account
