From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com> From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.de> fsstress manages to setup a sequence of events that allow an attempt to perform direct-io on a tail. bh_result->b_page == NULL, which causes the PageLocked and PageWriteback checks to perform a NULL deref, causing the oops.

From: James Simmons <jsimmons@infradead.org> This patch merges two of the drawing functions. The patch uses aligned transfers when possible even on displays where the characters are not byte align. Tested on my my laptop for 12 bit width fonts and 8 bit wide fonts. It works very nicely.

There's no point in calling mark_page_accessed() here. The page is never on the LRU so all mark_page_accessed() will do is to set PG_referenced, which we immediately clear again.

Add a debug check for workqueues nested more than three deep via the direct-run-workqueue() path.
-
Andrew Morton authored
Because keventd is a resource which is shared between unrelated parts of the kernel it is possible for one person's workqueue handler to accidentally call another person's flush_scheduled_work(). thockin managed it by calling mntput() from a workqueue handler. It deadlocks. It's simple enough to fix: teach flush_scheduled_work() to go direct when it discovers that the calling thread is the one which should be running the work. Note that this can cause recursion. The depth of that recursion is equal to the number of currently-queued works which themselves want to call flush_scheduled_work(). If this ever exceeds three I'll eat my hat.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> This patch fixes a bug in the SELinux compute_av code; the current code yields the right access computation but can cause unnecessary (but harmless) processing to occur when transition permission wasn't granted in the first place by the TE configuration. Thanks to Chad Hanson of TCS for reporting the bug.

From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> modpost or to be more specific sumversion.c was not behaving correct when used with O= and MODULE_VERSION was used. Previously it failed to use local .h when calculation the md-sum in case of a O= build. The following patch introduces the following: - A generic get_next_line() - Check that the topmost part of the directory matches - Using strrch when checking for file with suffix .o - Use NOFAIL for allocations in sumversion - Avoid memory leak in new_module The generic get_next_line will pay off when Andreas implmentation of storing symbol addresses in a seperate file is introduced.

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Fix a problem with kallsyms being unable to look up symbols which are in modules. add_kallsyms should be above module_finalize, which means you can just use the mod->symtab and mod->strtab members.

From: Trivial Patch Monkey <trivial@rustcorp.com.au> From: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> There's acpi_disable somewhere in the acpi interpreter (it disables interrupts, iirc). Thus blacklisting function needs better name.

From: Willem Riede <wrlk@riede.org> The patch revises the error handling in ide-scsi, fixing the scheduling while locked issues, and make it work properly, at least for me... Specific changes in this patch: - introduce idescsi_expiry, a timeout routine for the ide subsystem, which simply flags the fact that the command timed out, but postpones any other action until either the command still finishes on its own (unlikely?) or the scsi error handler kicks in; - introduce idescsi_atapi_error and idescsi_atapi_abort, error routines for the ide subsystem, which are modeled after those of ide-cd, but take only minimal effort to recover, leaving the heavy lifting for the scsi error handler; - rewrite (and rename for clarity) idescsi_eh_abort and idescsi_eh_error, the abort/error routines to be called by the scsi error handler -- this redesign should not have the scheduling while atomic problems of the old implementation. - move ide_cdrom_dump_status() from ide-cd.c to ide-lib.c as ide_dump_atapi_status() and both ide-cd and ide-scsi call it. - replaces BUG() by WARN_ON()/printk in the error handling code. - sets TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE before schedule_timeout() and moves the host unlock/lock around the while loop inside the loop in idescsi_eh_reset().

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> This patch extends the SELinux policy engine to support conditional policy logic based on a set of policy booleans, allowing well-formed changes to the policy to be defined within and mediated by the policy itself. The conditional policy extensions were implemented and contributed by Tresys Technology. Userland packages that support these extensions are already available from nsa.gov/selinux, and backward compatibility is provided for the prior policy version. The patch also includes a small change to enable detection of the optional MLS policy model on a SELinux system and fixes to the conditional policy extensions to allow the MLS policy to work correctly with them that were implemented and contributed by Trusted Computer Solutions.

From: Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org> The problem is that on PPC32 (and probably sparc64) 'asmlinkage' is a useless keyword, and should just be removed from include/asm-ppc/unistd.h.

From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> This patch saves 2MB of memory on a 1GB x86-64 machine, 20MB on a 10GB machine. It does this by eliminating 8 bytes of useless padding in struct page. This resurrects an older patch in a hopefully cleaner form.

From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Ingo said: Starting at around 2.6.4-rc2-mm1, I keep seeing 'scripts/fixdep: Text file busy' messages when doing a -j10 bzImage build - which seems to suggest that by the time fixdep is used by the build system it's not built yet. Sam said: I was pretty sure it was something I had caused, so I gave it a spin. What actually happened was that we tried to build the target 'silentoldconfig' in parrallel with 'scripts'. Since 'silentoldconfig' started a new make and then the config target needed 'scripts' we saw two parallel runs. The way I decided to fix it was to split scripts/ in two parts. The first part is now the very basic stuff - moved to scripts/basic/. The second part is dependent on kernel config etc. and kept in scripts/ In the 2.7 timeframe i will redo this initial stuff - it's becoming too messy for anyone to understand today. Description: Fix dependencies in early phases of kernel build. This solves a few problems nively: modpost is no longer rebuild twicewhen reaching the 'target' state 'make -j10' now works nicely again The patch is rather large due to the following file moves: mkdir scripts/basic mv scripts/fixdep.c scripts/basic mv scripts/split-include.c scripts/basic mv scripts/docproc.c scripts/basic

The g5 iommu code would fill the "iommu_table" member of whatever device node was pointed to by pcidev->sysdata during boot. However, the ppc64 kernel fills that with a pointer to the PHB node which is later replaced "lazily" with a pointer to the real node when calling pci_device_to_OF_node(). In this case, we were thus "losign" the iommu_table pointer. Typical symptom: loss of the SATA when looking at it's /proc entry. This fixes it by forcing the update to the final sysdata pointer when filling up the iommu_table pointers. The "lazy" thing is useless on pmac anyway.

SN2 platforms provide oemdata in salinfo records. The decode of that oemdata is done via prom routines. This patch provides the interface from user space through the kernel into the prom to do the oem decode.

Apparently GCC sometimes fails to insert a stop-bit when re-using p14 after the spinlock directives, even though the register is clearly marked as "clobbered".

This Kconfig patch basically just makes ia64 look a little more like i386: - moves system type above processor type - moves PM & ACPI to a new top-level menu - moves PCI/PCMCIA to a new top-level menu

The MCA code is now slim enough that there isn't much point in keeping CONFIG_IA64_MCA anymore.
