ieee1394: raw1394: add comments on lock usage

ieee1394: sbp2: slightly reorder sbp2scsi_abort

Put the target's fetch agent into reset state before the underlying ORB
DMA is unmapped and the ->done handler is called.  It is highly unlikely
but the target could access that ORB right before sbp2 sends the reset
request.

ieee1394: remove unused struct member from highlevel API

struct hpsb_highlevel's struct module *owner is neither used by the IEEE
1394 core nor set by any of the in-tree drivers or the two out-of-tree

Add "run_scheduled_work()" workqueue function

This allows workqueue users to run just their own pending work, rather
than wait for the whole workqueue to finish running.  This solves the
deadlock with networking libphy that was due to other workqueue entries
possibly needing a lock that was held by the routine that wanted to
flush its own work.

It's not wonderful: if you absolutely need to synchronize with the work
function having been executed, any user strictly speaking should have
its own completion tracking logic, since when we run things explicitly
by hand, the generic workqueue layer can no longer help us synchronize.

Also, this is strictly only usable for work that has been scheduled
without any delayed timers.  You can not mix the new interface with
schedule_delayed_work().

But it's better than what we had currently.

[PATCH] aio: remove ki_retried debugging member

Remove the ki_retried member from struct kiocb.  I think the idea was
bounced around a while back, but Arnaldo pointed out another reason that we
should dig it up when he pointed out that the last cacheline of struct
kiocb only contains 4 bytes.  By removing the debugging member, we save
more than the 8 byte on 64 bit machines.

[PATCH] Kexec / Kdump: Unify elf note code

The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several
architectures.  This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and
then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code.

The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support
kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.

[PATCH] do_coredump() and not stopping rewrite attacks?

  1483 flag = O_EXCL; /* Stop rewrite attacks */

And then filp_open follows with "flag" totally ignored.

(akpm: this restores the code to Alan's original version.  Andi's "Support

Twenty characters in cp936 are not correctly handled.  They're all in the
U00 plane.  nls_cp936 converts all U00XY to XY but this is not correct for

uni2char() to give U00 plane a special handling.  The "â\82¬"(U20AC,80 in

[PATCH] gcc-4.1.0 is bust

Keith says

Compiling 2.6.19-rc6 with gcc version 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux), wait_hpet_tick is
optimized away to a never ending loop and the kernel hangs on boot in timer
setup.

0000001a <wait_hpet_tick>:
  1a:   55                      push   %ebp
  1b:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
  1d:   eb fe                   jmp    1d <wait_hpet_tick+0x3>

This is not a problem with gcc 3.3.5.  Adding barrier() calls to
wait_hpet_tick does not help, making the variables volatile does.

And the consensus is that gcc-4.1.0 is busted.  Suse went and shipped
gcc-4.1.0 so we cannot ban it.  Add a warning.

[PATCH] softirq: remove BUG_ONs which can incorrectly trigger

It is possible to have tasklets get scheduled before softirqd has had a chance
to spawn on all CPUs.  This is totally harmless; after success during action
CPU_UP_PREPARE, action CPU_ONLINE will be called, which immediately wakes
softirqd on the appropriate CPU to process the already pending tasklets.  So
there is no danger of having a missed wakeup for any tasklets that were
already pending.

In particular, i386 is affected by this during startup, and is visible when
using a very large initrd; during the time it takes for the initrd to be
decompressed, a timer IRQ can come in and schedule RCU callbacks.  It is also
possible that resending of a hardware IRQ via a softirq triggers the same bug.

Because of different timing conditions, this shows up in all emulators and
virtual machines tested, including Xen, VMware, Virtual PC, and Qemu.  It is
also possible to trigger on native hardware with a large enough initrd,
although I don't have a reliable case demonstrating that.

[PATCH] autofs: fix error code path in autofs_fill_sb()

When kernel is compiled with old version of autofs (CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS), and
new (observed at least with 5.x.x) automount deamon is started, kernel
correctly reports incompatible version of kernel and userland daemon, but
then screws things up instead of correct handling of the error:

 autofs: kernel does not match daemon version

  =======================

and then deadlock comes.

The problem: autofs_fill_super() returns EINVAL to get_sb_nodev(), but
before that, it calls kill_anon_super() to destroy the superblock which
won't be needed.  This is however way too soon to call kill_anon_super(),
because get_sb_nodev() has to perform its own cleanup of the superblock
first (deactivate_super(), etc.).  The correct time to call
kill_anon_super() is in the autofs_kill_sb() callback, which is called by
deactivate_super() at proper time, when the superblock is ready to be
killed.

I can see the same faulty codepath also in autofs4.  This patch solves
issues in both filesystems in a same way - it postpones the
kill_anon_super() until the proper time is signalized by deactivate_super()
calling the kill_sb() callback.

In the current jbd code, if a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is dirty and not
locked, the buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list, submitted to the IO and
waited for IO completion.

But the fsstress test showed the case that when a buffer was already
submitted to the IO just before the buffer_dirty(bh) check, the buffer was
not waited for IO completion.

Following patch solves this problem.  If it is assumed that a buffer is
submitted to the IO before the buffer_dirty(bh) check and still being
written to disk, this buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list.

[PATCH] remove useless carta_random32.h

[PATCH] rtc-rs5c372: change register reading method

According to the datasheet rs5c372 supports three different methods for
reading register values.  Change from method #1 to method #3, since method #3
is the only one that works on Thecus N2100 board with this RTC.

[PATCH] reiserfs: do not add save links for O_DIRECT writes

We add a save link for O_DIRECT writes to protect the i_size against the
crashes before we actually finish the I/O.  If we hit an -ENOSPC in
aops->prepare_write(), we would do a truncate() to release the blocks which
might have got initialized.  Now the truncate would add another save link
for the same inode causing a reiserfs panic for having multiple save links
for the same inode.

[PATCH] sched: correct output of show_state()

At present show_state prints a header the does not match the output of
show_task, as follows:

-
                                               sibling
  task             PC      pid father child younger older
init          S 00000000     0     1      0     2               (NOTLB)
-

This patch corrects the output of show_state so that the header is
aligned with the data, ala:

-
                         free                        sibling
  task             PC    stack   pid father child younger older
init          S 00000000     0     1      0     2               (NOTLB)

[PATCH] sysctl: string length calculated is wrong if it contains negative numbers

In the functions do_proc_dointvec() and do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(),
there seems to be a bug in string length calculation if string contains
negative integer.

The console log given below explains the bug. Setting negative values
may not be a right thing to do for "console log level" but then the test
(given below) can be used to demonstrate the bug in the code.

# echo "-1 -1 -1 -123456" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
-1      -1      -1      -1234
#
# echo "-1 -1 -1 123456" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
-1      -1      -1      1234
#

(akpm: the bug is that 123456 gets truncated)

It works as expected if string contains all +ve integers

# echo "1 2 3 4" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
1       2       3       4
#

The patch given below fixes the issue.
