The K8 IOMMU code had some broken BUG_ON()s that hit with <4K aligned IO through the IOMMU. This patch fixes this. Without this database raw IO is often broken.

While using PRIVACY extensions, I sometimes get a hang when I remove the interface. But I can reproduce this every time using the test script at the end of the mail (hang depends on the order of address deletion). The bug is in ipv6_del_addr() where if a temp address is being deleted, it does an __in6_ifa_put() of the main address from which it was derived (basically the autoconf prefix address). So if the main address was deleted first, it's ifp ref count would be 1 and it would 'wait' to be freed till it's temp address was freed first. When the temp address is deleted, the __put() routine drops the main address's ifp ref count to 0, but not free it. unregister_netdevice() hangs giving message that ref count is 1. Fix tested overnight. Also, the code at the top of the routine is unnecessary, the same is being done when the address is found a little later in that routine.

The code that sends a signal needs to "kick" the target process if it runs on another CPU and wasn't woken up by the signal to let it know that it has a new event. Otherwise it might take a long time until the target actually notices and acts on the signal.

Fix a nasty typo found by Albert Cahalan. This lead to an oops when a invalid syscall was called under strace in 2.6.

The limit of the TSS segment was incorrectly set to a too big value on x86-64. This lead to the CPU reading random memory behind the main TSS when iopl was >0, but there was no ioperm bitmap set. This caused random failures in port accesses in this state. Set the correct limit.

The latter has buggy restart functionality and is a lot more complicated anyway.

When a kobject is associated with a kset, the kset MUST be set before the kobject is initialized (by either a call to kobject_register() or kobject_init()). This patch fixes the class code which improperly set the kset after the kobject was initialized, which would cause improper reference counts on the kset. Thanks to Mike Anderson for locating the source of this bug.

The hammer branch based gcc 3.3 in SuSE 9.0 has a more aggressive optimizer. ip_send_check has this code: iph->check = 0; iph->check = ip_fast_csum((unsigned char *)iph, iph->ihl); The new gcc optimizes the first store away because it doesn't know that ip_fast_csum reads its input memory. This leads to occassionally packets with wrong IP header checksum getting sent; this happens especially with NFS. Fixing it in the constraints would have been ugly and probably not future proof, so this patch just adds a memory clobber to ip_fast_csum. For some reason the issue only hits in 2.6, we haven't seen it in 2.4. Problem occurs on both i386 and x86-64. Credit goes to Olaf Kirch for tracking this down.

The dma hooks whereby EHCI can pass 64bit DMA support up the driver stack (to avoid buffer copies) turn out to broken on most architectures(*). This patch just disables them all, since it looks like those mechanisms won't get fixed before 2.6.0-final. For now it'd only matter on a few big Intel boxes anyway. Please merge. - Dave (*) On x86, mips, and arm dma_supported() doesn't even compare with the device's mask. On several other architectures (reported on ppc, alpha, and sparc64), asking that question for non-PCI devices will just BUG() -- even though all info needed to answer the question is right at hand.

There's a few places that use incorrect exclusion for the cramfs raw data access buffers. The proper lock is "read_mutex" (and BKL does nothing). - fix mount-time read and block number initialization without the mutex held. - cramfs_readdir() needs to copy the name and inode information into a separate buffer since it can't hold the semaphore over the (potentially blocking) user mode access - cramfs_lookup() needs to hold the access lock over the whole function, not just the read itself - use generic_file_llseek on directories to get i_sem exclusion on readdir/lseek

There's a problem with bio segment accounting for pages that reside above the bounce limit of a queue. When submitted, they may be considered part of another segment. A condition that changes when the page gets bounced. This can cause us to send bio's that have too many segments to a driver. The best fix is to always consider pages above q->bounce_pfn as seperate segments. That's the conservative approach and the easy fix. Problem identified and fixed by Herbert Xu.

IRDA was restoring IRQ flags in a different function from which they were saved which explodes on certain platforms. It did not need to use _irq{save,restore}() anyways since the seqfile layer always invokes these routines from user context with interrupts enabled, so using plain spin_{lock,unlock}_irq() works just fine.

This fixes a panic-at-boot when ACPI Hotplug PCI is compiled in, but ACPI is disabled. It just makes sure that the list is properly initialized statically instead of depending on runtime initialization that may or may not happen.
