We have a chek in there to make sure that the name won't overflow task_struct.comm[], but it's triggering for scsi with lots of HBAs, only scsi is using single-threaded workqueues which don't append the "/%d" anyway. All too hard. Just kill the BUG_ON.

Need to use list_for_entry_safe(), as we're removing items during the traversal. list_for_each_entry() uses the first ptr also as an iterator, if you kfree() it slab takes it, might poison it and then you try to use it to iterate to the next object in list.

Yet another hack due to the fact that libata is the only user of SCSI's ->eh_strategy_handler() hook.

sata_sx4 directly references sg->length to calculate total_len in pdc20621_dma_prep(). This is incorrect as dma_map_sg() could have merged multiple sg's into one and, in such case, sg->length doesn't reflect true size of the entry. This patch makes it use sg_dma_len(sg).

Unfortunately, we can't use the "user" bit in the page tables to control whether a page table entry is "global" or "asid" specific, since the vector page is mapped as "user" accessible but is not process specific. Therefore, give direct control of the ARMv6 "nG" (not global) bit to the mm layers. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

From: Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@sw.starentnetworks.com> sendmsg()/recvmsg() syscalls from o32/n32 apps to a 64bit kernel will cause a kernel memory leak if iov_len > UIO_FASTIOV for each syscall! This is because both sys_sendmsg() and verify_compat_iovec() kmalloc a new iovec structure. Only the one from sys_sendmsg() is free'ed. I wrote a simple test program to confirm this after identifying the problem: http://davej.org/programs/testsendmsg.c Note that the below fix will break solaris_sendmsg()/solaris_recvmsg() as it also calls verify_compat_iovec() but expects it to malloc internally.

Remove new configuration API from i2o_config The API-patch is still available from the I2O website (which is mentioned in the kernel config now). It is removed because it creates a new binary sysfs-attribute, which doesn't have the limitiation of 4k. Expect for the Adaptec controllers, which has a limitation in the hardware this attribute doesn't make sense anywhere else. Until the sysfs API provides an attribute which doesn't buffer (like firmware) and let access to at least 64k blocks i provide a separate patch... (akpm: basically, this API was introduced post-2.6.12 and Markus wants to pull it out before 2.6.13).

Fix possible cpuset_sem ABBA deadlock if 'notify_on_release' set. For a particular usage pattern, creating and destroying cpusets fairly frequently using notify_on_release, on a very large system, this deadlock can be seen every few days. If you are not using the cpuset notify_on_release feature, you will never see this deadlock. The existing code, on task exit (or cpuset deletion) did: get cpuset_sem if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release: compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path drop cpuset_sem Unfortunately, the fork in call_usermodehelper can allocate memory, and allocating memory can require cpuset_sem, if the mems_generation values changed in the interim. This results in an ABBA deadlock, trying to obtain cpuset_sem when it is already held by the current task. To fix this, I put the cpuset path (which must be computed while holding cpuset_sem) in a temporary buffer, to be used in the call_usermodehelper call of /sbin/cpuset_release_agent only _after_ dropping cpuset_sem. So the new logic is: get cpuset_sem if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release: compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point stash path in kmalloc'd buffer drop cpuset_sem call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path free path The sharp eyed reader might notice that this patch does not contain any calls to kmalloc. The existing code in the check_for_release() routine was already kmalloc'ing a buffer to hold the cpuset path. In the old code, it just held the buffer for a few lines, over the cpuset_release_agent() call that in turn invoked call_usermodehelper(). In the new code, with the application of this patch, it returns that buffer via the new char **ppathbuf parameter, for later use and freeing in cpuset_release_agent(), which is called after cpuset_sem is dropped. Whereas the old code has just one call to cpuset_release_agent(), right in the check_for_release() routine, the new code has three calls to cpuset_release_agent(), from the various places that a cpuset can be released. This patch has been build and booted on SN2, and passed a stress test that previously hit the deadlock within a few seconds.
