Maximum file size for hostfs mounts defaults to 2GB, so bigger files cannot be read/written through hostfs. This patch initializes the maximum file size to MAX_LFS_SIZE.

Make sure we do not actually request the RTC IRQ until the device driver is fully ready to handle and process any interrupt. This way a spurious interrupt won't crash the system (which may happen if the bootloader was poking the RTC right before booting Linux).

Apparently HP OmniBook 500's BIOS doesn't like the way atyfb reprograms the hardware. The BIOS will simply hang after a reboot.

By writing a tasks's pid to the file, a process adds that task to that cgroup/cpuset. But to add a cpu/mem to a cpuset, the new list of cpus should be written to the cpuset.mems file which would replace the old list of cpus. Make this clearer in the documentation.

balance_dirty_pages can overreact and move all of the dirty pages to writeback unnecessarily. balance_dirty_pages makes its decision to throttle based on the number of dirty plus writeback pages that are over the calculated limit,so it will continue to move pages even when there are plenty of pages in writeback and less than the threshold still dirty. This allows it to overshoot its limits and move all the dirty pages to writeback while waiting for the drives to catch up and empty the writeback list. A simple fio test easily demonstrates this problem. fio --name=f1 --directory=/disk1 --size=2G -rw=write --name=f2 --directory=/disk2 --size=1G --rw=write --startdelay=10 This is the simplest fix I could find, but I'm not entirely sure that it alone will be enough for all cases. But it certainly is an improvement on my desktop machine writing to 2 disks. Do we need something more for machines with large arrays where bdi_threshold * number_of_drives is greater than the dirty_ratio ?

Bugfix to spi_bitbang infrastructure: make sure to always set transfer parameters on the first pass through the message's per-transfer loop. This can matter with drivers that replace the per-word or per-buffer transfer primitives, on busses with multiple SPI devices. Previously, this could have started messages using the settings left after previous messages. The problem was observed when a high speed chip (m25p80 type flash) was running very slowly because a low speed device (avr8 microcontroller) had previously used the bus. Similar faults could have driven the low speed device too fast, or used an unexpected word size. Acked-by: Steven A.

Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call. Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used. Changing of these fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed. This is 2.6.31 material. It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and register_framebuffer()). It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

Add a new spi_master.flags word listing constraints relevant to that controller. Define the first constraint bit: a half duplex restriction. Include that constraint in the OMAP1 MicroWire controller driver. Have the mmc_spi host be the first customer of this flag. Its coding relies heavily on full duplex transfers, so it must fail when the underlying controller driver won't perform them. (The spi_write_then_read routine could use it too: use the temporarily-withdrawn full-duplex speedup unless this flag is set, in which case the existing code applies. Similarly, any spi_master implementing only SPI_3WIRE should set the flag.)

David Brownell authored
Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and pass them through to usermode drivers: * SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still full duplex. This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state transitions with the SPI master. * SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low to pause the clock. This defines a 5-wire variant (normal 4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus each of the 3-wire flavors). Such hardware flow control can be a big win. There are ADC converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not many host controllers support it today. The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its current nonportable hack. That's a mode most hardware can easily support (unlike SPI_READY).

Bryan Donlan authored
ext2_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this -ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the part of the admin. The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls -l said link. This patch thus changes ext2_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE from ext2_iget(), as ext2 does for other filesystem metadata corruption; and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is detected.

With ELF, at generating coredump, some more headers other than used vmas are added. When max_map_count == 65536, a core generated by following kinds of code can be unreadable because the number of ELF's program header is written in 16bit in Ehdr (please see elf.h) and the number overflows. == ... = mmap(); (munmap, mprotect, etc...) if (failed) abort(); == This can happen in mmap/munmap/mprotect/etc...which calls split_vma(). I think 65536 is not safe as _default_ and reduce it to 65530 is good for avoiding unexpected corrupted core. Anyway, max_map_count can be enlarged by sysctl if a user is brave..

alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for modules to work around addressing range limitation. This is done via generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the assembler to generate external reference. This happens behind the compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables in modules are unused. This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however, recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as __used can't be used for declaration. Also, in the process, PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken. This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules. This also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

When building with a 4.1.x compiler on powerpc64 (at least) we get this error: drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c:81: error: logo_linux_mono causes a section type conflict This was introduced by commit ae52bb23 ("fbdev: move logo externs to header file"). This is a partial revert of that commit sufficient to not hit the compiler bug. Also convert _clut arrays from __initconst to __initdata. Sam said: Al analysed this some time ago. When we say something is const then _sometimes_ gcc annotate the section as const(?) - sometimes not. So if we have two variables/functions annotated __*const and gcc decides to annotate the section const only in one case we get a section type conflict.

Heiko Carstens authored
The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit). However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent on the size of the previous sections. Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure the ctors contents are properly aligned. However the extra zeroes at the beginning aren't expected by the code. When walking the functions pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in random jumps. So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always aligned as well.

ide: memory overrun in ide_get_identity_ioctl() on big endian machines using ioctl HDIO_OBSOLETE_IDENTITY This patch fixes a memory overrun in function ide_get_identity_ioctl() which chooses the size of a memory buffer depending on the ioctl command that led to the function call, however, passes that buffer to a function which needs the buffer size to be always chosen unconditionally. Due to conditional compilation the memory overrun can only happen on big endian machines. The error can be triggered using ioctl HDIO_OBSOLETE_IDENTITY. Usage of ioctl HDIO_GET_IDENTITY is safe.

commit 2f0d0fd2 ("ide-acpi: cleanup do_drive_get_GTF()") didn't account for the lack of hwif->acpidata check in generic_ide_suspend() [ indirect user of do_drive_get_GTF() through ide_acpi_exec_tfs() ] resulting in broken resume when ACPI support is enabled but ACPI data is unavailable. Fix it by adding ide_port_acpi() helper for checking if port needs ACPI handling and cleaning generic_ide_{suspend,resume}() to use it instead of hiding hwif->acpidata and ide_noacpi checks in IDE ACPI helpers (this should help in preventing similar bugs in the future). While at it: - kill superfluous debugging printks in ide_acpi_{get,push}_timing() Reported-and-tested-by: Etienne Basset <etienne.basset@numericable.fr> Also-reported-and-tested-by: Jeff Chua <jeff.chua.linux@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently we reinit the ldisc on final tty close which is what the old code did to ensure that if the device retained its termios settings then it had the right ldisc. tty_ldisc_reinit does that but also leaves us with the reset ldisc reference which is then leaked. At this point we know the port will be recycled so we can kill the ldisc off completely rather than try and add another ldisc free up when the kref count hits zero. At this point it is safe to keep the ldisc closed as tty_ldisc waiting methods are only used from the user side, and as the final close we are the last such reference. Interrupt/driver side methods will always use the non wait version and get back a NULL. Found with kmemleak and investigated/identified by Catalin Marinas.
