3e3183bab0 [PATCH] SCX200_ACB: eliminate spurious timeout errors
While busy-waiting for completion, check the hardware after scheduling;
don't schedule and then immediately check the _timeout_.  If the yield()
took a long time (as it does on my OLPC prototype board when it's busy),
we'd report a timeout even though the hardware was now ready.

This fixes it, and also switches the yield() for a cond_resched() because
we don't actually want to be _that_ nice about it.  I see nice
tightly-packed SMBus transactions now, rather than waiting for milliseconds
between successive phases.

Actually, we shouldn't be busy-waiting here at all.  We should be using
interrupts.  That's an exercise for another day though.

225add6196 [PATCH] udf: initialize parts of inode earlier in create
I saw an oops down this path when trying to create a new file on a UDF
filesystem which was internally marked as readonly, but mounted rw:

udf_create
        udf_new_inode
                new_inode
                        alloc_inode
                        	udf_alloc_inode
                udf_new_block
                        returns EIO due to readonlyness
                iput (on error)
                        udf_put_inode
                                udf_discard_prealloc
                                        udf_next_aext
                                                udf_current_aext
                                                        udf_get_fileshortad
                                                                OOPS

the udf_discard_prealloc() path was examining uninitialized fields of the
udf inode.

udf_discard_prealloc() already has this code to short-circuit the discard
path if no extents are preallocated:

        if (UDF_I_ALLOCTYPE(inode) == ICBTAG_FLAG_AD_IN_ICB ||
                inode->i_size == UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode))
        {
                return;
        }

so if we initialize UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode) = 0 earlier in udf_new_inode,
we won't try to free the (not) preallocated blocks, since this will match
the i_size = 0 set when the inode was initialized.

2b8de5f50e [PATCH] pnpacpi: reject ACPI_PRODUCER resources
A patch in -mm kernel correct the parsing of "address resources" of pnpacpi.
Before we assumed it was memory only, but it could be also IO.

But this change show an hidden bug : some resources could be producer type
that are not handled by pnp layer.  So we should ignore the producer
resources.

This patch fixes bug 6292 (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6292).
Some devices like PNP0A03 have 0xd00-0xffff and 0x0-0xcf7 as IO producer
resources.

Before correcting "address resources" parsing, it was seen as memory and was
harmless, because nobody tried to reserve this memory range as it should be
IO.

With the correction it become IO resources, and make failed all others device
that want to register IO in this range and use pnp layer (like a ISA sound
card).

The solution is to ignore producer resources

b4c76fa721 [PATCH] reiserfs_write_full_page() should not get_block past eof
reiserfs_write_full_page does zero bytes in the file past eof, but it may
call get_block on those buffers as well.  On machines where the page size
is larger than the blocksize, this can result in mmaped files incorrectly
growing up to a block boundary during writepage.

The fix is to avoid calling get_block for any blocks that are entirely past
eof

ebd15302dc [PATCH] memory hotadd fixes: enhance collision check
This patch is for collision check enhancement for memory hot add.

It's better to do resouce collision check before doing memory hot add,
which will touch memory management structures.

And add_section() should check section exists or not before calling
sparse_add_one_section(). (sparse_add_one_section() will do another
check anyway. but checking in memory_hotplug.c will be easy to understand.)

94f563c426 [PATCH] Fix BeFS slab corruption
In bugzilla #6941, Jens Kilian reported:

"The function befs_utf2nls (in fs/befs/linuxvfs.c) writes a 0 byte past the
end of a block of memory allocated via kmalloc(), leading to memory
corruption.  This happens only for filenames which are pure ASCII and a
multiple of 4 bytes in length.  [...]

Without DEBUG_SLAB, this leads to further corruption and hard lockups; I
believe this is the bug which has made kernels later than 2.6.8 unusable
for me.  (This must be due to changes in memory management, the bug has
been in the BeFS driver since the time it was introduced (AFAICT).)

Steps to reproduce:
Create a directory (in BeOS, naturally :-) with files named, e.g.,
"1", "22", "333", "4444", ...  Mount it in Linux and do an "ls" or "find""

This patch implements the suggested fix. Credits to Jens Kilian for
debugging the problem and finding the right fix.

2f34931fdc [PATCH] knfsd: fix race related problem when adding items to and svcrpc auth cache
If we don't find the item we are lookng for, we allocate a new one, and
then grab the lock again and search to see if it has been added while we
did the alloc.  If it had been added we need to 'cache_put' the newly
created item that we are never going to use.  But as it hasn't been
initialised properly, putting it can cause an oops.

So move the ->init call earlier to that it will always be fully initilised
if we have to put it.

60c371bc75 [PATCH] fadvise() make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-op
The POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE hint means "the application will use this range of the
file a single time".  It seems to be intended that the implementation will use
this hint to perform drop-behind of that part of the file when the application
gets around to reading or writing it.

However for reasons which aren't obvious (or sane?) I mapped
POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE onto POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED.  ie: it does readahead.

That's daft.  So for now, make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-op.

This is a non-back-compatible change.  If someone was using POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE
to perform readahead, they lose.  The likelihood is low.

If/when we later implement POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE things will get interesting - to
do it fully we'll need to maintain file offset/length ranges and peform all
sorts of complex tricks, and managing the lifetime of those ranges' data
structures will be interesting..

A sensible implementation would probably ignore the file range and would
simply mark the entire file as needing some form of drop-behind treatment.

Reported by: Dave Jones

Whilst printk'ing to both console and serial console, I got this...
(2.6.18rc1)

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/sched.c:4438

This can occur when release_console_sem() is called but the log
buffer still has contents that need to be flushed. The console drivers
are called while the console_may_schedule flag is still true. The
might_sleep() is triggered when fbcon calls console_conditional_schedule().

Fix by setting console_may_schedule to zero earlier, before the call to the
console drivers.

this patch fixes such issue:

`ufs_get_locked_page' takes page from cache
after that `vmtruncate' takes page and deletes it from cache
`ufs_get_locked_page' locks page, and reports about EIO error.

Also because of find_lock_page always return valid page or NULL, we have no
need to check it if page not NULL.

        spinlock_t *lock_ptr;

        /* In the common case we don't take the spinlock, which is nice. */
 retry:
        lock_ptr = q->lock_ptr;

                spin_lock(lock_ptr);
		/*

                 * corrects the race condition.
[...]

and my compiler (gcc 4.1.0) makes the following out of it:

     3f4:       b9 02 00 cc             ltgr    %r12,%r12
     3f8:       a7 84 00 4b             je      48e <unqueue_me+0xc6>
		/* if r12 is zero then jump over the code.... */
     3fc:       e3 20 b0 28 00 04       lg      %r2,40(%r11)

		/* use r2 as parameter for spin_lock */

So the code becomes more or less:
if (q->lock_ptr != 0) spin_lock(q->lock_ptr)
instead of
if (lock_ptr != 0) spin_lock(lock_ptr)

Which caused the oops from above.
After adding a barrier gcc creates code without this problem:
[...] (the same)
     3ee:       e3 c0 b0 28 00 04       lg      %r12,40(%r11)
     3f4:       b9 02 00 cc             ltgr    %r12,%r12
     3f8:       b9 04 00 2c             lgr     %r2,%r12
     3fc:       a7 84 00 48             je      48c <unqueue_me+0xc4>
     400:       c0 e5 00 00 00 00       brasl   %r14,400 <unqueue_me+0x38>
                        402: R_390_PC32DBL      _spin_lock+0x2

As a general note, this code of unqueue_me seems a bit fishy. The retry logic
of unqueue_me only works if we can guarantee, that the original value of
q->lock_ptr is always a spinlock (Otherwise we overwrite kernel memory). We
know that q->lock_ptr can change. I dont know what happens with the original
spinlock, as I am not an expert with the futex code.

It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a
traced process that has just reached a breakpoint.  However, this is a
special case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and
then we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process.
If this happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process.

558e10a57d [LAPB]: Fix windowsize check
In bug #6954, Norbert Reinartz reported the following issue:

"Function lapb_setparms() in file net/lapb/lapb_iface.c checks if the given
parameters are valid. If the given window size is in the range of 8 .. 127,
lapb_setparms() fails and returns an error value of LAPB_INVALUE, even if bit
LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set.
If bit LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set and the window size is in the range
of 8 .. 127, the first check "(parms->mode & LAPB_EXTENDED)" results true  and
the second check "(parms->window < 1 || parms->window > 127)" results false.
Both checks in conjunction result to false, thus the third check "(parms->window
< 1 || parms->window > 7)" is done by fault.
This third check results true, so that we leave lapb_setparms() by 'goto out_put'.
Seems that this bug doesn't cause any problems, because lapb_setparms() isn't
used to change the default values of LAPB. We are using kernel lapb in our
software project and also change the default parameters of lapb, so we found
this bug"

He also pasted a fix, that I've transformated into a patch:

c4c0ce5c57 [PKT_SCHED] RED: Fix overflow in calculation of queue average
Overflow can occur very easily with 32 bits, e.g., with 1 second
us_idle is approx. 2^20, which leaves only 11-Wlog bits for queue
length. Since the EWMA exponent is typically around 9, queue
lengths larger than 2^2 cause overflow. Whether the affected
branch is taken when us_idle is as high as 1 second, depends on
Scell_log, but with rather reasonable configuration Scell_log is
large enough to cause p->Stab to have zero index, which always
results zero shift (typically also few other small indices result
in zero shift).

30a584d944 [LLX]: SOCK_DGRAM interface fixes
The datagram interface of LLC is broken in a couple of ways.
These were discovered when trying to use it to build an out-of-kernel
version of STP.

First it didn't pass the source address of the received packet
in recvfrom(). It needs to copy the source address of received LLC packets
into the socket control block. At the same time fix a security issue
because there was uninitialized data leakage. Every recvfrom call
was just copying out old data.

Second, LLC should not merge multiple packets in one receive call
on datagram sockets. LLC should preserve packet boundaries on
SOCK_DGRAM.

This fix goes against the old historical comments about UNIX98 semantics
but without this fix SOCK_DGRAM is broken and useless. So either ANK's
interpretation was incorect or UNIX98 standard was wrong.
