The SM LID used to send traps to is incorrectly set to port LID. This is a regression from 2.6.17 -- after a PortInfo MAD is received, no traps are sent to the SM LID. The traps go to the loopback interface instead, and are dropped there. The SM LID should be taken from the sm_lid of the PortInfo response.

[S390] user readable uninitialised kernel memory. A user space program can read uninitialised kernel memory by appending to a file from a bad address and then reading the result back. The cause is the copy_from_user function that does not clear the remaining bytes of the kernel buffer after it got a fault on the user space address.

Currently it is not understood how to properly control the horizontal capture resolution on 24xxx devices. The pvrusb2 driver is doing everything it should (pass resolution paramter(s) to cx2341x and cx25840 modules) but for some reason the result is corrupted video if any resolution other than 720 is used. This patch causes the driver to only permit a horizontal resolution of 720 to be used on 24xxx devices. Even if the app requests something else, the driver will force the resolution back to 720. This patch still allows full control of the resolution for 29xxx devices.

The pvrusb2 driver needs to call video_devdata() in order to correctly transform a file pointer into a video_device pointer. Unfortunately the prototype for this function has been marked V4L1-only and there's no official substitute that I can find for V4L2. Adding to the mystery is that the implementation for this function exists whether or not V4L1 compatibility has been selected. The upshot of all this is that we get a compilation warning here about a missing prototype but the code links OK. This fix solves the warning by copying the prototype into the source file that is using it. Yes this is a hack, but it's a safe one for 2.6.18 (any alternative would be much more intrusive). A better solution should be forthcoming for the next kernel.

There is a mutex ordering problem between the pvrusb2 driver and the v4l core. Two different pathways take mutexes in opposing orders and this (under rare circumstances) can cause a deadlock. The two mutexes in question are videodev_lock in the v4l core and device_lock inside the pvrusb2 driver. The device_lock instance in the driver protects a private global array of context pointers which had been implemented in advance of v4l core changes which eliminate the video_set_drvdata() and video_get_drvdata() functions. This patch restores the use of video_get_drvdata() and video_set_drvdata(), eliminating the need for the array and the mutex. (This is actually a patch to restore the previous implementation.) We can do this for 2.6.18 since those functions are in fact still present. A better (and larger) solution will be done for later kernels.

The cx24109 datasheet says: "NOTE: if A=0, then N=N+1" The current code is the result of a misinterpretation of the datasheet to mean exactly the opposite of the requirement -- The actual value of N is 1 greater than the value written when A is 0, so 1 needs to be *subtracted* from it to compensate.

This should make sure that, for UML, host's configuration files are not considered, which avoids various pains to the user. Our dependency are such that the obtained Kconfig will be valid and will lead to successful compilation - however they cannot prevent an user from disabling any boot device, and if an option is not set in the read .config (say /boot/config-XXX), with make menuconfig ARCH=um, it is not set. This always disables UBD and all console I/O channels, which leads to non-working UML kernels, so this bothers users - especially now, since it will happen on almost every machine (/boot/config-`uname -r` exists almost on every machine). It can be workarounded with make defconfig ARCH=um, but it is non-obvious and can be avoided, so please _do_ merge this patch.

The move of qdisc destruction to a rcu callback broke locking in the entire qdisc layer by invalidating previously valid assumptions about the context in which changes to the qdisc tree occur. The two assumptions were: - since changes only happen in process context, read_lock doesn't need bottem half protection. Now invalid since destruction of inner qdiscs, classifiers, actions and estimators happens in the RCU callback unless they're manually deleted, resulting in dead-locks when read_lock in process context is interrupted by write_lock_bh in bottem half context. - since changes only happen under the RTNL, no additional locking is necessary for data not used during packet processing (f.e. u32_list). Again, since destruction now happens in the RCU callback, this assumption is not valid anymore, causing races while using this data, which can result in corruption or use-after-free. Instead of "fixing" this by disabling bottem halfs everywhere and adding new locks/refcounting, this patch makes these assumptions valid again by moving destruction back to process context. Since only the dev->qdisc pointer is protected by RCU, but ->enqueue and the qdisc tree are still protected by dev->qdisc_lock, destruction of the tree can be performed immediately and only the final free needs to happen in the rcu callback to make sure dev_queue_xmit doesn't access already freed memory.

This reverts commits 11012d41 and 40dd2d20, which allowed us to use the MMIO accesses for PCI config cycles even without the area being marked reserved in the e820 memory tables. Those changes were needed for EFI-environment Intel macs, but broke some newer Intel 965 boards, so for now it's better to revert to our old 2.6.17 behaviour and at least avoid introducing any new breakage. Andi Kleen has a set of patches that work with both EFI and the broken Intel 965 boards, which will be applied once they get wider testing.

while porting the -rt tree to 2.6.18-rc7 i noticed the following screaming-IRQ scenario on an SMP system: 2274 0Dn.:1 0.001ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.010ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.020ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.029ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.039ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.048ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.058ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.068ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.077ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.087ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.097ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) as it turns out, the bug is caused by handle_level_irq(), which if it races with another CPU already handling this IRQ, it _unmasks_ the IRQ line on the way out. This is not how 2.6.17 works, and we introduced this bug in one of the early genirq cleanups right before it went into -mm. (the bug was not in the genirq patchset for a long time, and we didnt notice the bug due to the lack of -rt rebase to the new genirq code. -rt, and hardirq-preemption in particular opens up such races much wider than anything else.)
