The pktcdvd created class devices only export some sysfs files, but have no char dev_t registered in the driver. At class device creation time they copy the dev_t value of the block device to the char device, wich will register a new char device in the driver core and userspace, with a conflicting dev_t value. In many cases the class devices dev_t just points to a random USB device. This fixes the sysfs "duplicate entry" errors. Signed-off-by:

Miles Lane tailing /sys files hit a BUG which Pekka Enberg has tracked to my 966c8c12 sprint_symbol(): use less stack exposing a bug in slub's list_locations() - kallsyms_lookup() writes a 0 to namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN-1], but that was beyond the end of page provided. The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before. Latencytop and ftrace and are using KSYM_NAME_LEN buffers where they need KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffers, and vmallocinfo a 2*KSYM_NAME_LEN buffer where it wants a KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffer: fix those before anyone copies them.

On umount two event will be dispatched to watcher: 1: inotify_dev_queue_event(.., IN_UNMOUNT,..) 2: remove_watch(watch, dev) ->inotify_dev_queue_event(.., IN_IGNORED, ..) But if watcher has IN_ONESHOT bit set then the watcher will be released inside first event. Which result in accessing invalid object later. IMHO it is not pure regression. This bug wasn't triggered while initial inotify interface testing phase because of another bug in IN_ONESHOT handling logic :) commit ac74c00e Author: Ulisses Furquim <ulissesf@gmail.com> Date: Fri Feb 8 04:18:16 2008 -0800 inotify: fix check for one-shot watches before destroying them As the IN_ONESHOT bit is never set when an event is sent we must check it in the watch's mask and not in the event's mask.

Since commit 2f007e74, do_pages_stat() gets the page address from user-space and puts the corresponding status back while holding the mmap_sem for read. There is no need to hold mmap_sem there while some page-faults may occur. This patch adds a temporary address and status buffer so as to only hold mmap_sem while working on these kernel buffers. This is implemented by extracting do_pages_stat_array() out of do_pages_stat(). Signed-off-by:

Add a call to cancel_work_sync() in fbcon_exit() to cancel any pending work in the fbcon workqueue. The current implementation of fbcon_exit() sets the fbcon workqueue function info->queue.func to NULL, but does not assure that there is no work pending when it does so. On occasion, depending on system timing, there will still be pending work in the queue when fbcon_exit() is called. This results in a null pointer deference when run_workqueue() tries to call the queue's work function. Fixes errors on shutdown similar to these: Console: switching to colour dummy device 80x25 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000 Signed-off-by:

Currently, lru_add_drain_all() has two version. (1) use schedule_on_each_cpu() (2) don't use schedule_on_each_cpu() Gerald Schaefer reported it doesn't work well on SMP (not NUMA) S390 machine. offline_pages() calls lru_add_drain_all() followed by drain_all_pages(). While drain_all_pages() works on each cpu, lru_add_drain_all() only runs on the current cpu for architectures w/o CONFIG_NUMA. This let us run into the BUG_ON(!PageBuddy(page)) in __offline_isolated_pages() during memory hotplug stress test on s390. The page in question was still on the pcp list, because of a race with lru_add_drain_all() and drain_all_pages() on different cpus. Actually, Almost machine has CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU=y. Then almost machine use (1) version lru_add_drain_all although the machine is UP. Then this ifdef is not valueable. simple removing is better. Signed-off-by:

Revert that change. This means that ext4 will be slow again. But correct. Reported-by: -

Revert commit 1f7c14c6 Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Date: Thu Oct 9 12:50:59 2008 -0400 percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set() Before this patch we had the following: percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before returning. After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality. Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus, without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from those other CPUS. This patch reverts 1f7c14c6. This means that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but percpu_counter_sum() does not. Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well. Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics. Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read() will return a close value. After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result. If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after e8ced39d was merged, and which depends upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break. Reported-by: -

If we have at least one algorithm built-in then it no longer makes sense to have the testing framework, and hence cryptomgr to be a module. It should be either on or off, i.e., built-in or disabled. This just happens to stop a potential runaway modprobe loop that seems to trigger on at least one distro. With fixes from Evgeniy Polyakov. Signed-off-by:Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

Certain X11 servers such as the SIS server will only work if PCI mmap is implemented. This patch implements PCI mmap but to be on the same side so close to a release it only supports uncached mappings so performance will not be optimal for some uses such as framebuffers.

With the introduction of the generic affinity autoselector, irq_select_affinity(), IRQs are now being retargetted, using a default mask, via the request_irq() path. This results in all IRQs targetted at CPU 0. SN Altix assigns affinity in the SN PROM, and does not expect that to be changed as part of request_irq(). Set the IRQ_AFFINITY_SET flag to prevent request_irq() from resetting affinity. Signed-off-by:

The firewire nodemanager function "nodemgr_host_thread" contains a loop that calls try_to_freeze near the top of the loop, but then delays for up to 3.25 seconds (plus time to do work) before getting back to the top of the loop. When starting a cycle post-boot, this doesn't seem to bite, but it is causing a noticeable delay at boot time, when freezing processes prior to starting to read the image. The following patch adds invocation of try_to_freeze to the subloops that are used in the body of this function. With these additions, the time to freeze when starting to resume at boot time is virtually zero. I'm no expert on firewire, and so don't know that we shouldn't check the return value and jump back to the top of the loop or such like after being frozen, but I submit it for your consideration. Signed-off-by:
Nigel Cunningham <nigel@tuxonice.net> The delay until nodemgr freezes was up to 0.25s (plus time for node probes) in Linux 2.6.27 and older and up to 3.25s (plus ~) since Linux 2.6.28-rc1, hence much more noticeable. try_to_freeze() without any jump is correct. The surrounding code in the respective loops will catch whether another bus reset happens during the freeze and handle it. Signed-off-by:
