d8612417b2 [POWERPC] ibmebus: Prevent bus_id collisions
Previously, ibmebus derived a device's bus_id from its location code.
The location code is not guaranteed to be unique, so we might get bus_id
collisions if two devices share the same location code.  The OFDT
full_name, however, is unique, so we use that instead (truncating it
on the left if it is too long).

d51dd3de87 [POWERPC] cell/PS3: Ignore storage devices that are still being probed
On PS3, A storage device may show up in the repository before the hypervisor
has finished probing:
  - If its type is not yet known, it shows up as PS3_DEV_TYPE_STOR_DUMMY,
  - If its regions are being probed, it shows up as having zero regions.
If any of these happen, consider the device not yet present.  The storage
probe thread will retry later.

This fixes the timing-dependent problem where a kernel booted from FLASH ROM
sometimes cannot find the hard disk.

ef8034d01a [POWERPC] cell/PS3: Always set master run control bit in mfc_sr1_set
At present, running any SPE program on the ps3 will trigger a BUG_ON
when spufs_run_spu tries to clear the master run control bit, as lv1
does not make the master run control available to Linux.

This change makes SPE apps work again by disabling changes to the
master run control on PS3.  Although we don't have the facility to
disable a SPE with supervisor-level privileges, it's better than
hitting the BUG_ON unconditionally.

b7f90a406f [POWERPC] cell/PS3: Fix a bug that causes the PS3 to hang on the SPU Class 0 interrupt.
The Cell BE Architecture spec states that the SPU MFC Class 0 interrupt
is edge-triggered.  The current spu interrupt handler assumes this
behavior and does not clear the interrupt status.

The PS3 hypervisor visualizes all SPU interrupts as level, and on return
from the interrupt handler the hypervisor will deliver a new virtual
interrupt for any unmasked interrupts which for which the status has not
been cleared.  This fix clears the interrupt status in the interrupt
handler.

e4630f9fd8 [CRYPTO] blkcipher: Fix handling of kmalloc page straddling
The function blkcipher_get_spot tries to return a buffer of
the specified length that does not straddle a page.  It has
an off-by-one bug so it may advance a page unnecessarily.

What's worse, one of its callers doesn't provide a buffer
that's sufficiently long for this operation.

This patch fixes both problems.  Thanks to Bob Gilligan for

5511142870 firewire: fw-ohci: ignore failure of pci_set_power_state (fix suspend regression)
Fixes (papers over) "Sleep problems with kernels >= 2.6.21 on powerpc",
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/25/155.  The issue is that the FireWire
controller's pci_dev.current_state of iBook G3 and presumably older
PowerBooks is still in PCI_UNKNOWN instead of PCI_D0 when the firewire
driver's .suspend method is called.

Like it was suggested earlier in http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/24/13, we
do not fail .suspend anymore if pci_set_power_state failed.

1169783085 sched: fix ideal_runtime calculations for reniced tasks
fix ideal_runtime:

  - do not scale it using niced_granularity()
    it is against sum_exec_delta, so its wall-time, not fair-time.

  - move the whole check into __check_preempt_curr_fair()
    so that wakeup preemption can also benefit from the new logic.

this also results in code size reduction:

7fd0d2dde9 sched: fix MC/HT scheduler optimization, without breaking the FUZZ logic.
First fix the check
	if (*imbalance + SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ < busiest_load_per_task)
with this
	if (*imbalance < busiest_load_per_task)

As the current check is always false for nice 0 tasks (as
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE_FUZZ is same as busiest_load_per_task for nice 0
tasks).

With the above change, imbalance was getting reset to 0 in the corner
case condition, making the FUZZ logic fail. Fix it by not corrupting the
imbalance and change the imbalance, only when it finds that the HT/MC
optimization is needed.

5995cb7d80 [XFS] fix nasty quota hashtable allocation bug
This git mod: 77e4635ae1
converted to a "greedy" allocation interface, but for the quota hashtables
it switched from allocating XFS_QM_HASHSIZE (nr of elements)
xfs_dqhash_t's to allocating only XFS_QM_HASHSIZE *bytes* - quite a lot
smaller! Then when we converted hsize "back" to nr of elements (the
division line) hsize went to 0. This was leading to oopses when running
any quota tests on the Fedora 8 test kernel, but the problem has been
there for almost a year.

ce29a1f8bd [x86 setup] Work around bug in Xen HVM
Apparently XEN does not keep the contents of the 48-bit gdt_48 data
structure that is passed to lgdt in the XEN machine state. Instead it
appears to save the _address_ of the 48-bit descriptor
somewhere. Unfortunately this data happens to reside on the stack and
is probably no longer availiable at the time of the actual protected
mode jump.

This is Xen bug but given that there is a one-line patch to work
around this problem, the linux kernel should probably do this.  My fix
is to make the gdt_48 description in setup_gdt static (in setup_idt
this is already the case). This allows the kernel to boot under
Xen HVM again.

8ff262df2c m32r: Move defconfig files to arch/m32r/configs/
Change defconfig file's location from arch/m32r/{platform}/defconfig*
to arch/m32r/configs/{platform}_defconfig.

Applying this patch, we can use defconfig file for each m32r platform
easily, like other architectures.

  ex. Setup defconfig for cross-building
    $ make ARCH=m32r CROSS_COMPILE=m32r-linux-gnu- {platform}_defconfig.

fc0e01974c [JFFS2] fix write deadlock regression
I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to
this commit:

commit 6fe6900e1e
Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
Date:   Sun May 6 14:49:04 2007 -0700

    mm: make read_cache_page synchronous

    Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
    us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

    I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
    possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
    ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
    block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
    with a !uptodate page.

It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a
read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page
without any callers.

Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old
behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the
use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction
well enough to say.

[It's fine. dwmw2.]

1b3b4a1a2d NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()
Ryusuke Konishi says:

The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page
before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(),
^^^^^^
static void
truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page)
{
        ...
        cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE);  <--- Inserted here at
kernel 2.6.20

        if (PagePrivate(page))
                do_invalidatepage(page, 0);   ---> will call
a_ops->invalidatepage()
        ...
}

and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling 
nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending
request (=nfs_page) associated with the page.

int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how)
{
        ...
        if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) {
                ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc);
                if (ret < 0)
                        goto out;
        }
        ...
}

Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after
a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated
with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree.
------------------------

Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may
also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated
with them.
