Add "memory" clobbers to the x86 inline asm of strncmp and friends They don't actually clobber memory, but gcc doesn't even know they _read_ memory, so can apparently re-order memory accesses around them. Which obviously does the wrong thing if the memory access happens to change the memory that the compare function is accessing.. Verified to fix a strange boot problem by Jens Axboe.

Out-of-tree user of remap_pfn_range hit kernel BUG at mm/memory.c:1112! It passes an unrounded size to remap_pfn_range, which was okay before 2.6.12, but misses remap_pte_range's new end condition. An audit of all the other ptwalks confirms that this is the only one so exposed. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>

Return to previous held-logic of calling scsi_add_host() only after the board has been completely initialized. Also return pci_*() error-codes during probe failure paths. This also corrects an issue where only lun 0 is being scanned for a given port.

There are many drivers that have been setting the generic driver model level shutdown callback, and pci thus must not override it.

__cfq_get_queue(). __cfq_get_queue() finds an existing queue (struct cfq_queue) of the current process for the device and returns it. If it's not found, __cfq_get_queue() creates and returns a new one if __cfq_get_queue() is called with __GFP_WAIT flag, or __cfq_get_queue() returns NULL (this means that get_request() fails) if no __GFP_WAIT flag. On the other hand, in __make_request(), get_request() is called without __GFP_WAIT flag at the first time. Thus, the get_request() fails when there is no existing queue, typically when it's called for the first I/O request of the process to the device. Though it will be followed by get_request_wait() for general case, __make_request() will just end the I/O with an error (EWOULDBLOCK) when the request was for read-ahead.

It looks like logic for enabling hardware tapping in ALPS driver was inverted and we enable it only if it was already enabled by BIOS or firmware. I have a confirmation from one user that the patch below fixes the problem for him and it might be beneficial if we could get it into 2.6.12.

The ELF core dump code has one use of off_t when writing out segments. Some of the segments may be passed the 2GB limit of an off_t, even on a 32-bit system, so it's important to use loff_t instead. This fixes a corrupted core dump in the bigcore test in GDB's testsuite.

This fixed a problem that showed up in the Fedora development tree a few weeks before the Fedora Core 4 release, initially as slab corruption, later as hard crashes on boot up, when slab debugging was disabled for the release. More details on the history at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158424 The problem is caused by sbp2's use of scsi_host->hostdata[0] to hold a scsi_id, without explicitly requesting space for it. Since hostdata is declared as a zero-sized array, we don't get any such space by default, so it must be explicitly requested. The patch below implements just that.

__elv_add_request(). rq.count[READ] + rq.count[WRITE] can increase more than one if another thread has allocated a request after the current request is allocated or in_flight could have changed resulting in larger-than-one change of nrq, thus breaking the threshold mechanism.

Without this patch, some usb kobjects, which are parents to the usx2y's kobjects can be freed before the usx2y's.

On 64-bit machines, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_MASK and other mask constants passed to pci_size() are 64-bit (for example ~0x0fUL). However, pci_size does comparisons between the u32 arguments and the mask, which will fail even though any result from pci_size is still just 32-bit. Changing the mask argument to u32 seems the obvious thing to do, since all arithmetic in the function is 32-bit and having a larger mask makes no sense. This triggered on a PPC64 system here where an adapter (VGA, as it happened) had a memory region base of 0xfe000000 and a sz of the same, matching the if (max == maxbase ...) test at the bottom of pci_size but failing the mask comparison. Quite a corner case which I guess explains why we haven't seen it until now.
