Impact: introduce new lockdep API Allow to change a held lock's class. Basically the same as the existing code to change a subclass therefore reuse all that. The XFS code will be able to use this to annotate their inode locking. Signed-off-by:

Impact: emit new warning We periodically waste time tracking down problems from the genirq framework not respecting IRQF_DISABLED for some shared IRQ cases. Linus views this as "will not fix", but we're still left with the bugs caused by this misbehavior. This patch adds a nag message in request_irq(), so that drivers can fix their IRQ handlers to avoid this problem. Note that developers will never see the relevant bugs when they run with LOCKDEP, so it's no wonder these bugs are hard to find. (That also means LOCKDEP is overlooking some IRQ-related bugs involving IRQ handlers that don't set IRQF_DISABLED...) Signed-off-by:

Fix module removal bugs of i82875p_edac. Also i82975x_edac code seems to have the same module removal bugs as in i82875p_edac. The problems were: 1. In module removal i82875p_remove_one() is never called. Variable i82875p_registered is newer changed from 1, which guarantees i82875p_remove_one() is not called (and even if it were called, it would be called in wrong order). As a result, the edac_mc workque is not stopped and keeps probing. If kernel debugging options are not enabled, user may not notice anything going wrong. if debugging options are enabled and I do "rmmod i82875p_edac", I get: edac debug: edac_pci_workq_function() checking BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f882d16f ... call trace: [<f8834df3>] ? edac_mc_workq_function+0x55/0x7e [edac_core] [<c0233974>] ? run_workqueue+0xd7/0x1a5 [<c023392f>] ? run_workqueue+0x92/0x1a5 [<f8834d9e>] ? edac_mc_workq_function+0x0/0x7e [edac_core] [<c0233af9>] ? worker_thread+0xb7/0xc3 [<c0236a7b>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x33 [<c0233a42>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0xc3 [<c0236809>] ? kthread+0x3b/0x61 [<c02367ce>] ? kthread+0x0/0x61 [<c0204587>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 Fix for this is to get rid of needles variable i82875p_registered altogether and run i82875p_remove_one() *before* pci_unregister_driver(). 2. edac_mc_del_mc() uses mci after freeing mci edac_mc_del_mc() calls calls edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(). The kobject refcount of mci drops to 0 and mci is freed. After this mci is accessed via debug print and i82875p_remove_one() still uses mci->pvt and tries to free mci again with edac_mc_free(). The fix for this is add kobject_get(&mci->edac_mci_kobj) after edac_mc_alloc(). Then the mci is still available after returning from edac_mc_del_mc() with refcount 1, and mci->pvt is still available. When i82875p_remove_one() finally calls edac_mc_free(), this will cause kobject_put() and mci is released properly.

When I do "modprobe i82875p_edac" on my Asus P4C800 MB on kernels 2.6.26 or later, the module load fails due to BAR 0 collision. On 2.6.25 the module loads just fine. The overflow device on the MB seems to be hidden and its resources are not allocated at normal PCI bus init. Log shows the missing resource problem: EDAC DEBUG: i82875p_probe1() PCI: 0000:00:06.0 reg 10 32bit mmio: [fecf0000, fecf0fff] pci 0000:00:06.0: device not available because of BAR 0 [0xfecf0000-0xfecf0fff] collisions EDAC i82875p: i82875p_setup_overfl_dev(): Failed to enable overflow device The patch below fixes this by calling pci_bus_assign_resources() after the overflow device is revealed and added to the bus. With this patch I am again able to load and use the module. Signed-off-by:

The commit aef7db4b fixed the problem with recursive locking in fb blanking code if blank is caused by user setting the /sys/class/graphics/fb*/blank. However this broke the fbcon timeout blanking. If you use a driver that defines ->fb_blank operation and at the same time that driver relies on other driver (e.g. backlight or lcd class) to blank the screen, when the fbcon times out and tries to blank the fb, it will call only fb driver blanker and won't notify the other driver. Thus FB output is disabled, but the screen isn't blanked. Restore fbcon blanking and at the same time apply the proper fix for the above problem: if fbcon_blank is called with FBINFO_FLAG_USEREVENT, we are already called through notification from fb_blank, thus we don't have to blank the fb again.

It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use get_current_user()] Signed-off-by:

According to the manual the "tdfOnExit" flag must be set on the last byte we want to send. The PSC controller holds SS low until the flag is set. However, the flag was set always on the last byte of the FIFO, independently if it is the last byte of the transfer. This generates spurious toggling of the SS signals that breaks the protocol of some peripherals. Fix. Signed-off-by:

Fixes for memcg/memory hotplug. While memory hotplug allocate/free memmap, page_cgroup doesn't free page_cgroup at OFFLINE when page_cgroup is allocated via bootomem. (Because freeing bootmem requires special care.) Then, if page_cgroup is allocated by bootmem and memmap is freed/allocated by memory hotplug, page_cgroup->page == page is no longer true. But current MEM_ONLINE handler doesn't check it and update page_cgroup->page if it's not necessary to allocate page_cgroup. (This was not found because memmap is not freed if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is y.) And I noticed that MEM_ONLINE can be called against "part of section". So, freeing page_cgroup at CANCEL_ONLINE will cause trouble. (freeing used page_cgroup) Don't rollback at CANCEL. One more, current memory hotplug notifier is stopped by slub because it sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK to return vaule. So, page_cgroup's callback never be called. (low priority than slub now.) I think this slub's behavior is not intentional(BUG). and fixes it. Another way to be considered about page_cgroup allocation: - free page_cgroup at OFFLINE even if it's from bootmem and remove specieal handler. But it requires more changes.

Jim Radford has reported that the vmap subsystem rewrite was sometimes causing his VIVT ARM system to behave strangely (seemed like going into infinite loops trying to fault in pages to userspace). We determined that the problem was most likely due to a cache aliasing issue. flush_cache_vunmap was only being called at the moment the page tables were to be taken down, however with lazy unmapping, this can happen after the page has subsequently been freed and allocated for something else. The dangling alias may still have dirty data attached to it. The fix for this problem is to do the cache flushing when the caller has called vunmap -- it would be a bug for them to write anything else to the mapping at that point. That appeared to solve Jim's problems. Reported-by:

We're panicing in ocfs2_read_blocks_sync() if a jbd-managed buffer is seen. At first glance, this seems ok but in reality it can happen. My test case was to just run 'exorcist'. A struct inode is being pushed out of memory but is then re-read at a later time, before the buffer has been checkpointed by jbd. This causes a BUG to be hit in ocfs2_read_blocks_sync(). Reviewed-by:
