E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them
with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Data in descriptors is
accessed simultaneously by the chip (writing status and size when
a packet is received) and CPU (reading to check if the packet was
received). This isn't a valid usage of PCI DMA API, which requires use
of the coherent (consistent) memory for such purpose. Unfortunately e100
chips working in "simplified" RX mode have to store received data
directly after the descriptor. Fixing the driver to conform to the API
would require using unsupported "flexible" RX mode or receiving data
into a coherent memory and using CPU to copy it to network buffers.
This patch, while not yet making the driver conform to the PCI DMA API,
allows it to work correctly on X86 with swiotlb (while not breaking
other architectures).

SUNRPC: Fix tcp reconnection
This fixes a problem that was reported as Red Hat Bugzilla entry number
485339, in which rpciod starts looping on the TCP connection code,
rendering the NFS client unusable for 1/2 minute or so.
[SCSI] sr: report more accurate drive status after closing the tray.
So, what's happening here is that the drive is reporting a sense of
2/4/1 ("logical unit is becoming ready") from sr_test_unit_ready(), and
then we ask for the media event notification before checking that result
at all. The check_media_event_descriptor() call isn't getting a check
condition, but it's also reporting that the tray is closed and that
there's no media. In actuality it doesn't yet know if there's media or
not, but there's no way to express that in the media event status field.
My current thought is that if it told us the device isn't yet ready, we
should return that immediately, since there's nothing that'll tell us
any more data than that reliably:

kthreads: fix kthread_create() vs kthread_stop() race
The bug should be "accidently" fixed by recent changes in 2.6.31,
all kernels <= 2.6.30 need the fix. The problem was never noticed before,
it was found because it causes mysterious failures with GFS mount/umount.
Credits to Robert Peterson. He blaimed kthread.c from the very beginning.
But, despite my promise, I forgot to inspect the old implementation until
he did a lot of testing and reminded me. This led to huge delay in fixing
this bug.
kthread_stop() does put_task_struct(k) before it clears kthread_stop_info.k.
This means another kthread_create() can re-use this task_struct, but the
new kthread can still see kthread_should_stop() == T and exit even without
calling threadfn().

Ulrich Drepper correctly points out that there is generally padding in
the structure on 64-bit hosts, and that copying the structure from
kernel to user space can leak information from the kernel stack in those
padding bytes.
Avoid the whole issue by just copying the three members one by one
instead, which also means that the function also can avoid the need for
a stack frame. This also happens to match how we copy the new structure
from user space, so it all even makes sense.

This patch uses two methods for reducing stack usage.

If copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) races with de_thread()
copy_signal()->atomic(signal->count) breaks the signal->notify_count

we can't fail. In this case the forked thread will take care of its
reference to signal correctly.
If copy_process() fails, check CLONE_THREAD flag. If it it set - do
nothing, the counters were not changed and current belongs to the same
thread group. If it is not set, ->signal must be released in any case

We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in
those cases.
Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already
referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata
structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid
of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all
instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().
kernel_sendpage() does the proper default case handling for when the
socket doesn't have a native sendpage implementation.

Does anybody really care about sendpage on something like Appletalk? Not

mm_for_maps() takes ->mmap_sem after security checks, this looks
strange and obfuscates the locking rules. Move this lock to its
single caller, m_start().
It would be nice to kill __ptrace_may_access(). It requires task_lock(),
but this lock is only needed to read mm->flags in the middle.
Convert mm_for_maps() to use ptrace_may_access(), this also simplifies
the code a little bit.
Also, we do not need to take ->mmap_sem in advance. In fact I think
mm_for_maps() should not play with ->mmap_sem at all, the caller should
take this lock.
With or without this patch, without ->cred_guard_mutex held we can race
with exec() and get the new ->mm but check old creds.

While looking at Jens Rosenboom bug report
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/27/35) about strange sys_futex call done from
a dying "ps" program, we found following problem.
clone() syscall has special support for TID of created threads. This
support includes two features.
One (CLONE_CHILD_SETTID) is to set an integer into user memory with the
TID value.
One (CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID) is to clear this same integer once the created
thread dies.
The integer location is a user provided pointer, provided at clone()
time.
kernel keeps this pointer value into current->clear_child_tid.
At execve() time, we should make sure kernel doesnt keep this user
provided pointer, as full user memory is replaced by a new one.
As glibc fork() actually uses clone() syscall with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID and
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID set, chances are high that we might corrupt user
memory in forked processes.
Following sequence could happen:
1) bash (or any program) starts a new process, by a fork() call that
glibc maps to a clone( ... CLONE_CHILD_SETTID | CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID
...) syscall
2) When new process starts, its current->clear_child_tid is set to a
location that has a meaning only in bash (or initial program) context
(&THREAD_SELF->tid)
3) This new process does the execve() syscall to start a new program.
current->clear_child_tid is left unchanged (a non NULL value)
4) If this new program creates some threads, and initial thread exits,
kernel will attempt to clear the integer pointed by
current->clear_child_tid from mm_release() :
/*
* We don't check the error code - if userspace has
* not set up a proper pointer then tough luck.
*/
<< here >> put_user(0, tidptr);
sys_futex(tidptr, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0);
}
5) OR : if new program is not multi-threaded, but spied by /proc/pid
users (ps command for example), mm_users > 1, and the exiting program
could corrupt 4 bytes in a persistent memory area (shm or memory mapped
file)
If current->clear_child_tid points to a writeable portion of memory of the
new program, kernel happily and silently corrupts 4 bytes of memory, with
unexpected effects.
Fix is straightforward and should not break any sane program.

address used for pop will still be the same. It will write to

Currently, the ThinkPad-ACPI bay and dock drivers are completely
broken, and cause a NULL pointer derreference in kernel mode (and,
therefore, an OOPS) when they try to issue events (i.e. on dock,

OTOH, the standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and
docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27.
In fact, it does a much better job of it than thinkpad-acpi ever did.
It is just not worth the hassle to find a way to fix this crap without
breaking the (deprecated) thinkpad-acpi dock/bay ABI. This is old,

There's a hotplug problem in the way libsas allocates ports: it loops over the
available ports first trying to add to an existing for a wide port and
otherwise allocating the next free port. This scheme only works if the port
array is packed from zero, which fails if a port gets hot unplugged and the
array becomes sparse. In that case, a new port is formed even if there's a
wide port it should be part of. Fix this by creating two loops over all the
ports: the first to see if the phy should be part of a wide port and the
second to form a new port in an empty port slot.

I've tested TSL2550 driver and I've found a bug: when light is off,
returned value from tsl2550_calculate_lux function is -1 when it should
be 0 (sensor correctly read that light was off).
I think the bug is that a zero c0 value (approximated value of ch0) is
misinterpreted as an error.

This is because hugetlb_unreserve_pages() is unconditionally removing
blocks_per_huge_page(h) on each call rather than using the freed amount.
If there were 0 blocks, it goes negative, resulting in the above.
The issue was, that the locking code in mkiss was assuming it was only
ever being called in process or bh context. Fixed by converting the
involved locking code to use irq-safe locks.
Review of other networking line disciplines shows that 6pack, both sync
and async PPP and STRIP have similar issues. The ppp_async one is the
most interesting one as it sorts out half of the issue as far back as

E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them
with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Unfortunately it fails to
transfer skb->data ownership to the device after it reads the
descriptor's status, breaking on non-coherent (e.g., ARM) platforms.
This have to be converted to use coherent memory for the descriptors.

The 8169 chip only generates MSI interrupts when all enabled event
sources are quiescent and one or more sources transition to active. If
not all of the active events are acknowledged, or a new event becomes
active while the existing ones are cleared in the handler, we will not
see a new interrupt.
The current interrupt handler masks off the Rx and Tx events once the
NAPI handler has been scheduled, which opens a race window in which we
can get another Rx or Tx event and never ACK'ing it, stopping all
activity until the link is reset (ifconfig down/up). Fix this by always
ACK'ing all event sources, and loop in the handler until we have all
sources quiescent.

The host-side CDC subset driver is binding more specifically
than it should ... only to PXA 210/25x/26x Linux-USB gadgets.
Loosen that restriction to match the gadget driver driver.
This will various PXA 27x and PXA 3xx devices happier when
talking to Linux hosts, potentially others.

Tag 11 packets are stored in the metadata section of an eCryptfs file to
store the key signature(s) used to encrypt the file encryption key.
After extracting the packet length field to determine the key signature
length, a check is not performed to see if the length would exceed the
key signature buffer size that was passed into parse_tag_11_packet().
Thanks to Ramon de Carvalho Valle for finding this bug using fsfuzzer.
This patch adds DMI information to automatically load the correct
layout for the Maxdata Pro 7000X/DX notebook models. Such notebooks
are clones of Fujitsu Amilo V2000, the hook for the v2000 is being
used and I have tested that perfectly works.
The immediate result of integrating this patch is that the five
special buttons will work on these specific notebook models and that
the RF killswitch will not be activated after suspend. This patch
definitively obsoletes the fsam7400 module which I was still needing
to enable wifi and to fix the RF killswitch suspend problem; in the
current 2.6.30 kernel it is necessary to load the wistron_btns module
with options 'force=1 keymap=1557/MS2141', which was not anyway a
complete workaround.
added a call to acpi_bus_set_power(handle, ACPI_STATE_D3)
to pnpacpi_disable_resource() before the existing call
to evaluate _DIS on the device.
This caused suspend to fail on the system in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13243
because the sanity check to verify we entered _PS3
failed on the serial port.
As a work-around, that sanity check can be disabled
system-wide with "acpi.power_nocheck=1"
Or perhaps we should just shrug off the _PS3 failure
and carry on with _DIS like we used to -- which is
what this patch does.
