    Fix a race condition in FASYNC handling
    
    Changeset a238b790d5f99c7832f9b73ac8847025815b85f7 (Call fasync()
    functions without the BKL) introduced a race which could leave
    file->f_flags in a state inconsistent with what the underlying
    driver/filesystem believes.  Revert that change, and also fix the same
    races in ioctl_fioasync() and ioctl_fionbio().
    
    This is a minimal, short-term fix; the real fix will not involve the
    BKL.

    Enforce a minimum SG_IO timeout
    
    There's no point in having too short SG_IO timeouts, since if the
    command does end up timing out, we'll end up through the reset sequence
    that is several seconds long in order to abort the command that timed
    out.
    
    As a result, shorter timeouts than a few seconds simply do not make
    sense, as the recovery would be longer than the timeout itself.
    
    Add a BLK_MIN_SG_TIMEOUT to match the existign BLK_DEFAULT_SG_TIMEOUT.

    Revert "ACPI: battery: Convert discharge energy rate to current properly"
    
    This reverts commit 558073dd56707864f09d563b64e7c37c021e89d2, along with
    the failed try to fix the regression it caused ("ACPI: Fix ACPI battery
    regression introduced by commit 558073"), which just made things worse.
    
    Commit aaad077638be1a25871bcae5e43952d6b63abfca (that failed "Fix ACPI
    battery regression") got the voltage conversion confused, and fixed the
    problem with Rafael's battery monitor apparently just by mistake.
    
    So revert them both, getting us back to the 2.6.27 state in this, and
    let's revisit it when people understand what's going on.

    [XFS] Fix hang after disallowed rename across directory quota domains
    
    When project quota is active and is being used for directory tree
    quota control, we disallow rename outside the current directory
    tree. This requires a check to be made after all the inodes
    involved in the rename are locked. We fail to unlock the inodes
    correctly if we disallow the rename when the target is outside the
    current directory tree. This results in a hang on the next access
    to the inodes involved in failed rename.

    MIPS: Fix potential DOS by untrusted user app.
    
    On a 64 bit kernel if an o32 syscall was made with a syscall number less
    than 4000, we would read the function from outside of the bounds of the
    syscall table.  This led to non-deterministic behavior including system
    crashes.
    
    While we were at it we reworked the 32 bit version as well to use fewer
    instructions.  Both 32 and 64 bit versions are use the same code now.

    Update FMODE_NDELAY before each ioctl call so that we can kill the
    magic FMODE_NDELAY_NOW.  It would be even better to do this directly
    in setfl(), but for that we'd need to have FMODE_NDELAY for all files,
    not just block special files.

    time: catch xtime_nsec underflows and fix them
    
    Impact: fix time warp bug
    
    Alex Shi, along with Yanmin Zhang have been noticing occasional time
    inconsistencies recently. Through their great diagnosis, they found that
    the xtime_nsec value used in update_wall_time was occasionally going
    negative. After looking through the code for awhile, I realized we have
    the possibility for an underflow when three conditions are met in
    update_wall_time():
    
      1) We have accumulated a second's worth of nanoseconds, so we
         incremented xtime.tv_sec and appropriately decrement xtime_nsec.
         (This doesn't cause xtime_nsec to go negative, but it can cause it
          to be small).
    
      2) The remaining offset value is large, but just slightly less then
         cycle_interval.
    
      3) clocksource_adjust() is speeding up the clock, causing a
         corrective amount (compensating for the increase in the multiplier
         being multiplied against the unaccumulated offset value) to be
         subtracted from xtime_nsec.
    
    This can cause xtime_nsec to underflow.
    
    Unfortunately, since we notify the NTP subsystem via second_overflow()
    whenever we accumulate a full second, and this effects the error
    accumulation that has already occured, we cannot simply revert the
    accumulated second from xtime nor move the second accumulation to after
    the clocksource_adjust call without a change in behavior.
    
    This leaves us with (at least) two options:
    
    1) Simply return from clocksource_adjust() without making a change if we
       notice the adjustment would cause xtime_nsec to go negative.
    
    This would work, but I'm concerned that if a large adjustment was needed
    (due to the error being large), it may be possible to get stuck with an
    ever increasing error that becomes too large to correct (since it may
    always force xtime_nsec negative). This may just be paranoia on my part.
    
    2) Catch xtime_nsec if it is negative, then add back the amount its
       negative to both xtime_nsec and the error.
    
    This second method is consistent with how we've handled earlier rounding
    issues, and also has the benefit that the error being added is always in
    the oposite direction also always equal or smaller then the correction
    being applied. So the risk of a corner case where things get out of
    control is lessened.

    sparc64: Fix VIS emulation bugs
    
    This patch fixes some bugs in VIS emulation that cause the GCC test
    failure
    
    FAIL: gcc.target/sparc/pdist-3.c execution test
    
    for both 32-bit and 64-bit testing on hardware lacking these
    instructions.  The emulation code for the pdist instruction uses
    RS1(insn) for both source registers rs1 and rs2, which is obviously
    wrong and leads to the instruction doing nothing (the observed
    problem), and further inspection of the code shows that RS1 uses a
    shift of 24 and RD a shift of 25, which clearly cannot both be right;
    examining SPARC documentation indicates the correct shift for RS1 is
    14.
    
    This patch fixes the bug if single-stepping over the affected
    instruction in the debugger, but not if the testcase is run
    standalone.  For that, Wind River has another patch I hope they will
    send as a followup to this patch submission.

    Hi Alan,
    
    Looking at the kernel driver code for oprofile it can return the "i386/p6" for
    the cpu_type. However, looking at the user-space oprofile code there isn't the
    matching entry in libop/op_cpu_type.c or the events/unit_mask files in
    events/i386 directory.
    
    The Intel AP-485 says this is a "Intel Pentium M processor model D". Seems like
    the oprofile kernel driver should be identifying the processor as "i386/p6_mobile"
    
    The driver identification code doesn't look quite right in nmi_init.c
    
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git;a=blob;f=arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c;h=022cd41ea9b4106e5884277096e80e9088a7c7a9;hb=HEAD
    
    has:
    
    409         case 10 ... 13:
    410                 *cpu_type = "i386/p6";
    411                 break;
    
    Referring to the Intel AP-485:
    case 10 and 11 should produce "i386/piii"
    case 13 should produce "i386/p6_mobile"
    
    I didn't see anything for case 12.
    
    Something like the attached patch. I don't have a celeron machine to verify that
    changes in this area of the kernel fix thing.

    oprofile: fix CPU unplug panic in ppro_stop()
    
    If oprofile statically compiled in kernel, a cpu unplug triggers

    block: fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask
    
    Fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask for stacked md/dm
    devices.
    
    When stacking devices (LVM over MD over SCSI) some of the request queue
    parameters are not set up correctly in some cases by default, namely
    max_segment_size and and seg_boundary mask.
    
    If you create MD device over SCSI, these attributes are zeroed.
    
    Problem become when there is over this mapping next device-mapper mapping
    - queue attributes are set in DM this way:
    
    request_queue   max_segment_size  seg_boundary_mask
    SCSI                65536             0xffffffff
    MD RAID1                0                      0
    LVM                 65536                 -1 (64bit)
    
    Unfortunately bio_add_page (resp.  bio_phys_segments) calculates number of
    physical segments according to these parameters.
    
    During the generic_make_request() is segment cout recalculated and can
    increase bio->bi_phys_segments count over the allowed limit.  (After
    bio_clone() in stack operation.)
    
    Thi is specially problem in CCISS driver, where it produce OOPS here
    
        BUG_ON(creq->nr_phys_segments > MAXSGENTRIES);
    
    (MAXSEGENTRIES is 31 by default.)
    
    Sometimes even this command is enough to cause oops:
    
      dd iflag=direct if=/dev/<vg>/<lv> of=/dev/null bs=128000 count=10
    
    This command generates bios with 250 sectors, allocated in 32 4k-pages
    (last page uses only 1024 bytes).
    
    For LVM layer, it allocates bio with 31 segments (still OK for CCISS),
    unfortunatelly on lower layer it is recalculated to 32 segments and this
    violates CCISS restriction and triggers BUG_ON().
    
    The patch tries to fix it by:
    
     * initializing attributes above in queue request constructor
       blk_queue_make_request()
    
     * make sure that blk_queue_stack_limits() inherits setting
    
     (DM uses its own function to set the limits because it
     blk_queue_stack_limits() was introduced later.  It should probably switch
     to use generic stack limit function too.)
    
     * sets the default seg_boundary value in one place (blkdev.h)
    
     * use this mask as default in DM (instead of -1, which differs in 64bit)

    block: internal dequeue shouldn't start timer
    
    blkdev_dequeue_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are equivalent and
    both start the timeout timer.  Barrier code dequeues the original
    barrier request but doesn't passes the request itself to lower level
    driver, only broken down proxy requests; however, as the original
    barrier code goes through the same dequeue path and timeout timer is
    started on it.  If barrier sequence takes long enough, this timer
    expires but the low level driver has no idea about this request and
    oops follows.
    
    Timeout timer shouldn't have been started on the original barrier
    request as it never goes through actual IO.  This patch unexports
    elv_dequeue_request(), which has no external user anyway, and makes it
    operate on elevator proper w/o adding the timer and make
    blkdev_dequeue_request() call elv_dequeue_request() and add timer.
    Internal users which don't pass the request to driver - barrier code
    and end_that_request_last() - are converted to use
    elv_dequeue_request().

    x86: fix broken flushing in GART nofullflush path
    
    Impact: remove stale IOTLB entries
    
    In the non-default nofullflush case the GART is only flushed when
    next_bit wraps around. But it can happen that an unmap operation unmaps
    memory which is behind the current next_bit location. If these addresses
    are reused it may result in stale GART IO/TLB entries. Fix this by
    setting the GART next_bit always behind an unmapped location.

    vmscan: evict streaming IO first
    
    Count the insertion of new pages in the statistics used to drive the
    pageout scanning code.  This should help the kernel quickly evict
    streaming file IO.
    
    We count on the fact that new file pages start on the inactive file LRU
    and new anonymous pages start on the active anon list.  This means
    streaming file IO will increment the recent scanned file statistic, while
    leaving the recent rotated file statistic alone, driving pageout scanning
    to the file LRUs.
    
    Pageout activity does its own list manipulation.

    bdi: register sysfs bdi device only once per queue
    
    Devices which share the same queue, like floppies and mtd devices, get
    registered multiple times in the bdi interface, but bdi accounts only the
    last registered device of the devices sharing one queue.
    
    On remove, all earlier registered devices leak, stay around in sysfs, and
    cause "duplicate filename" errors if the devices are re-created.
    
    This prevents the creation of multiple bdi interfaces per queue, and the
    bdi device will carry the dev_t name of the block device which is the
    first one registered, of the pool of devices using the same queue.

    nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash fix #2
    
    The previous patch from Alan Cox ("nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash",
    commit 731572d39fcd3498702eda4600db4c43d51e0b26) fixed the problem where
    knfsd crashes on exported shmemfs objects and strict overcommit is set.
    
    But the patch forgot supporting the case when CONFIG_SECURITY is
    disabled.
    
    This patch copies a part of his fix which is mainly for detecting a bug
    earlier.

    amd74xx: workaround unreliable AltStatus register for nVidia controllers
    
    It seems that on some nVidia controllers using AltStatus register
    can be unreliable so default to Status register if the PCI device
    is in Compatibility Mode.  In order to achieve this:
    
    * Add ide_pci_is_in_compatibility_mode() inline helper to <linux/ide.h>.
    
    * Add IDE_HFLAG_BROKEN_ALTSTATUS host flag and set it in amd74xx host
      driver for nVidia controllers in Compatibility Mode.
    
    * Teach actual_try_to_identify() and drive_is_ready() about the new flag.
    
    This fixes the regression caused by removal of CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ
    config option in 2.6.25 and using AltStatus register unconditionally when
    available (kernel.org bugs #11659 and #10216).
    
    [ Moreover for CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y (which is what most people
      and distributions use) it never worked correctly. ]
    
    Thanks to Remy LABENE and Lars Winterfeld for help with debugging the problem.

    scsi_eh_try_stu() was still using the timeout parameter in the device

    [SCSI] zfcp: eliminate race between validation and locking
    
    The check of having a valid pointer was performed before the

    used (referenced by the pointer described above) as a function pointer
    which is never verified to be valid either, resulting under some

    [WATCHDOG] hpwdt: Fix kdump when using hpwdt
    
    When the "hpwdt" module is loaded (even if the /dev/watchdog device is not
    opened), then kdump does not work. The panic kernel either does not start at
    all or crash in various places.
    
    The problem is that hpwdt_pretimeout is registered with register_die_notifier()
    with the highest possible priority. Because it returns NOTIFY_STOP, the
    crash_nmi_callback which is also registered with register_die_notifier()
    is never executed. This causes the shutdown of other CPUs to fail.
    
    Reverting the order is no option: The crash_nmi_callback executes HLT
    and so never returns normally. Because of that, it must be executed as
    last notifier, which currently is done.
    
    So, that patch returns NOTIFY_OK to keep the crash_nmi_callback executed.

    x86: fix dma_mapping_error for 32bit x86
    
    Devices like b44 ethernet can't dma from addresses above 1GB. The driver
    handles this cases by falling back to GFP_DMA allocation. But for detecting
    the problem it needs to get an indication from dma_mapping_error.
    The bug is triggered by using a VMSPLIT option of 2G/2G.

    net: Fix soft lockups/OOM issues w/ unix garbage collector
    
    This is an implementation of David Miller's suggested fix in:
      https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470201
    
    It has been updated to use wait_event() instead of
    wait_event_interruptible().
    
    Paraphrasing the description from the above report, it makes sendmsg()
    block while UNIX garbage collection is in progress. This avoids a
    situation where child processes continue to queue new FDs over a
    AF_UNIX socket to a parent which is in the exit path and running
    garbage collection on these FDs. This contention can result in soft
    lockups and oom-killing of unrelated processes.

    It is possible for a shadow page to have a parent link
    pointing to a freed page. When zapping a high level table,
    kvm_mmu_page_unlink_children fails to remove the parent_pte link.
    For that to happen, the child must be unreachable via the shadow
    tree, which can happen in shadow_walk_entry if the guest pte was
    modified in between walk() and fetch(). Remove the parent pte
    reference in such case.

    ath9k: Fix SW-IOMMU bounce buffer starvation
    
    This should fix the SW-IOMMU bounce buffer starvation
    seen ok kernel.org bugzilla 11811:
    
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11811
    
    Users on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2 would see something like:
    
    DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for 4224 bytes at device 0000:0b:00.0
    
    Unfortunately its only easy to trigger on MacBook Pro 3.1/MacBook v2
    so far so its difficult to debug (even with swiotlb=force).
    
    We were pci_unmap_single()'ing less bytes than what we called
    for with pci_map_single() and as such we were starving
    the swiotlb from its 64MB amount of bounce buffers. We remain
    consistent and now always use sc->rxbufsize for RX. While at
    it we update the beacon DMA maps as well to only use the data
    portion of the skb, previous to this we were pci_map_single()'ing
    more data for beaconing than what we tell the hardware it can use,
    therefore pushing more iotlb abuse.
    
    Still not sure why this is so easily triggerable on
    MacBook Pro 3.1, it may be the hardware configuration
    tends to use more memory > 3GB mark for DMA.

    rose: zero length frame filtering in af_rose.c
    
    Since changeset e79ad711a0108475c1b3a03815527e7237020b08 from  mainline,
    >From David S. Miller,
    empty packet can be transmitted on connected socket for datagram protocols.
    
    However, this patch broke a high level application using ROSE network protocol with connected datagram.
    
    Bulletin Board Stations perform bulletins forwarding between BBS stations via ROSE network using a forward protocol.
    Now, if for some reason, a buffer in the application software happens to be empty at a specific moment,
    ROSE sends an empty packet via unfiltered packet socket.
    When received, this ROSE packet introduces perturbations of data exchange of BBS forwarding,
    for the application message forwarding protocol is waiting for something else.
    We agree that a more careful programming of the application protocol would avoid this situation and we are
    willing to debug it.
    But, as an empty frame is no use and does not have any meaning for ROSE protocol,
    we may consider filtering zero length data both when sending and receiving socket data.
    
    The proposed patch repaired BBS data exchange through ROSE network that were broken since 2.6.22.11 kernel.

    NLM: client-side nlm_lookup_host() should avoid matching on srcaddr
    
    Since commit c98451bd, the loop in nlm_lookup_host() unconditionally
    compares the host's h_srcaddr field to the incoming source address.
    For client-side nlm_host entries, both are always AF_UNSPEC, so this
    check is unnecessary.
    
    Since commit 781b61a6, which added support for AF_INET6 addresses to
    nlm_cmp_addr(), nlm_cmp_addr() now returns FALSE for AF_UNSPEC
    addresses, which causes nlm_lookup_host() to create a fresh nlm_host
    entry every time it is called on the client.
    
    These extra entries will eventually expire once the server is
    unmounted, so the impact of this regression, introduced with lockd
    IPv6 support in 2.6.28, should be minor.
    
    We could fix this by adding an arm in nlm_cmp_addr() for AF_UNSPEC
    addresses, but really, nlm_lookup_host() shouldn't be matching on the
    srcaddr field for client-side nlm_host lookups.

    nfsd: use of unitialized list head on error exit in nfs4recover.c
    
    Thanks to Matthew Dodd for this bug report:
    
    A file label issue while running SELinux in MLS mode provoked the
    following bug, which is a result of use before init on a 'struct list_head'.
    
    In nfsd4_list_rec_dir() if the call to dentry_open() fails the 'goto
    out' skips INIT_LIST_HEAD() which results in the normally improbable
    case where list_entry() returns NULL.

    tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is urgent data
    
    This patch fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12014
    
    Since most (if not all) implementations of TSO and even the in-kernel
    software GSO do not update the urgent pointer when splitting a large
    segment, it is necessary to turn off TSO/GSO for all outgoing traffic
    with the URG pointer set.
    
    Looking at tcp_current_mss (and the preceding comment) I even think
    this was the original intention. However, this approach is insufficient,
    because TSO/GSO is turned off only for newly created frames, not for
    frames which were already pending at the arrival of a message with
    MSG_OOB set. These frames were created when TSO/GSO was enabled,
    so they may be large, and they will have the urgent pointer set
    in tcp_transmit_skb().
    
    With this patch, such large packets will be fragmented again before
    going to the transmit routine.
    
    As a side note, at least the following NICs are known to screw up
    the urgent pointer in the TCP header when doing TSO:
    
    	Intel 82566MM (PCI ID 8086:1049)
    	Intel 82566DC (PCI ID 8086:104b)

    axnet_cs / pcnet_cs: moving PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID for Netgear FA411
    
    Hi,
    
    after noticing that my Netgear FA411 (PCMCIA-NIC) [1] stopped working with
    the release of the 2.6.25 kernel (sidux-version), I checked the
    respective driver sources and noticed that the pcnet_cs driver bailed
    out with "use axnet_cs instead" for the Netgear FA411, but axnet_cs
    doesn't claim this ID.
    
    I compiled a kernel with the PCMCIA-ID for the netgear card moved to
    axnet_cs from pcnet_cs which worked. I then contacted sidux-kernel
    maintainer Stefan Lippers-Hollmann who turned the info into this patch
    and integrated it into the kernel:
    
    <http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/fullstory/linux-sidux-2.6/trunk/debian/patches/features/2.6.27.4_PCMCIA_move-PCMCIA-ID-for-Netgear-FA411-from-pcnet_cs-to-axnet_cs.patch>
    
    This works for me and AFAIK there were no reports of any breakage for
    other devices on sidux-support.
    
    This looks like a trivial patch, but since I have very limited
    experience with kernel modifications  I might be woefully wrong there.
    But if there are no side effects of this patch, is it possible to get it
    into the official kernel?
    
    I can provide more detailed information on the affected hardware if
    necessary.

    UBIFS: pre-allocate bulk-read buffer
    
    To avoid memory allocation failure during bulk-read, pre-allocate
    a bulk-read buffer, so that if there is only one bulk-reader at
    a time, it would just use the pre-allocated buffer and would not
    do any memory allocation. However, if there are more than 1 bulk-
    reader, then only one reader would use the pre-allocated buffer,
    while the other reader would allocate the buffer for itself.

    UBIFS: do not allocate too much
    
    Bulk-read allocates 128KiB or more using kmalloc. The allocation
    starts failing often when the memory gets fragmented. UBIFS still
    works fine in this case, because it falls-back to standard
    (non-optimized) read method, though. This patch teaches bulk-read
    to allocate exactly the amount of memory it needs, instead of
    allocating 128KiB every time.
    
    This patch is also a preparation to the further fix where we'll
    have a pre-allocated bulk-read buffer as well. For example, now
    the @bu object is prepared in 'ubifs_bulk_read()', so we could
    path either pre-allocated or allocated information to
    'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' later. Or teaching 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()'
    not to allocate 'bu->buf' if it is already there.

    UBIFS: do not print scary memory allocation warnings
    
    Bulk-read allocates a lot of memory with 'kmalloc()', and when it
    is/gets fragmented 'kmalloc()' fails with a scarry warning. But
    because bulk-read is just an optimization, UBIFS keeps working fine.
    Supress the warning by passing __GFP_NOWARN option to 'kmalloc()'.
    
    This patch also introduces a macro for the magic 128KiB constant.
    This is just neater.
    
    Note, this is not really fixes the problem we had, but just hides
    the warnings. The further patches fix the problem.

    The iTCO_wdt code was not clearing the correct bits.
    It now clears the timeout status bit and then the

    Bugzilla #9868: On Intel motherboards with the ICH9 based I/O controllers
    (Like DP35DP and DG33FB) the iTCO timer counts but it doesn't reboot the
    system after the counter expires.
    
    This patch fixes this by moving the enabling & disabling of the TCO_EN bit

    UBIFS: allow for gaps when dirtying the LPT
    
    The LPT may have gaps in it because initially empty LEBs
    are not added by mkfs.ubifs - because it does not know how
    many there are.  Then UBIFS allocates empty LEBs in the
    reverse order that they are discovered i.e. they are
    added to, and removed from, the front of a list.  That
    creates a gap in the middle of the LPT.
    
    The function dirtying the LPT tree (for the purpose of
    small model garbage collection) assumed that a gap could
    only occur at the very end of the LPT and stopped dirtying
    prematurely, which in turn resulted in the LPT running
    out of space - something that is designed to be impossible.

    UBIFS: remove printk
    
    Remove the "UBIFS background thread ubifs_bgd0_0 started" message.
    We kill the background thread when we switch to R/O mode, and
    start it again whan we switch to R/W mode. OLPC is doing this
    many times during boot, and we see this message many times as
    well, which is irritating. So just kill the message.
