This reverts commit d0646f7b, as requested by Eric Sandeen. It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match. Quoth Eric: "My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem. But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code. We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good power-fail testing with the fixes in place." See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14354 for all the gory details.

In try_to_unuse(), swcount is a local copy of *swap_map, including the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit; but a wrong comparison against swap_count(*swap_map), which masks off the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit, succeeded where it should fail. That had the effect of resetting the mm from which to start searching for the next swap page, to an irrelevant mm instead of to an mm in which this swap page had been found: which may increase search time by ~20%. But we're used to swapoff being slow, so never noticed the slowdown. Remove that one spurious use of swap_count(): Bo Liu thought it merely redundant, Hugh rewrote the description since it was measurably wrong.

Linus Torvalds authored
In commit c1c7af60 ("drm/i915: force mode set at lid open time") the intel graphics driver was taught to restore the LVDS mode on lid open. That caused problems with interaction with the suspend/resume code, which commonly runs at the same time (suspend is often caused by the lid close event, while lid open is commonly a resume event), which was worked around with in commit 06891e27 ("drm/i915: fix suspend/resume breakage in lid notifier"). However, in the meantime the lid event code had also grown a user event notifier (commit 06324194: "drm/i915: generate a KMS uevent at lid open/close time"), and now _that_ causes problems with suspend/resume and some versions of Xorg reacting to those uevents by setting the mode. So this effectively reverts that commit 06324194, and makes the lid open protection logic against suspend/resume more explicit. This fixes at least one laptop. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14484 for more details.

Russell King authored
Mapping the same memory using two different attributes (memory type, shareability, cacheability) is unpredictable. During boot, we encounter a situation when we're updating the kernel's page tables which can lead to dirty cache lines existing in the cache which are subsequently missed. This causes stack corruption, and therefore a crash. Therefore, ensure that the shared and cacheability settings matches the configuration that will be used later; this together with the restriction in early_cachepolicy() ensures that we won't create a mismatch during boot.

ARM unwind is known to compile only with EABI and not-buggy compilers. The problem is not the unwinding information but the -fno-frame-pointer option added as a result of !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.

Convert PCMCIA drivers to use the dynamic debug infrastructure, instead of requiring manual settings of PCMCIA_DEBUG. Also, remove all usages of the CS_CHECK macro and replace them with proper Linux style calling and return value checking. The extra error reporting may be dropped, as the PCMCIA core already complains about any (non-driver-author) errors.

Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in the error handling paths of the NOMMU do_mmap_pgoff() as it can't handle it. The following can be used as a test program: int main() { static long long a[1024 * 1024 * 20] = { 0 }; return a;} Without the patch, the code oopses in atomic_long_dec_and_test() as called by fput() after the kernel complains that it can't allocate that big a chunk of memory. With the patch, the kernel just complains about the allocation size and then the program segfaults during execve() as execve() can't complete the allocation of all the new ELF program segments.

Platform drivers registered via platform_driver_probe() can be bound to devices only once, upon registration, because discard their probe() routines to save memory.

In this patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=16dc42e018c2868211b4928f20a957c0c216126c the check was added for another driver to already claim the same device on the same bus. But the returned error code was wrong: to modprobe, the -EEXIST means that _this_ driver is already installed. It therefore doesn't produce the needed error message when _another_ driver is trying to register for the same device. Returning -EBUSY fixes the problem.

This patch presents fixes for the autosuspend feature implementation in sierra usb serial driver in functions sierra_open(), sierra_close() and stop_read_write_urbs(). The patch "sierra_close() must resume the device before it notifies it of a closure" submitted by Oliver Neukum on Wed, October 14 has been merged as fix in sierra_close() function. The bug fix in sierra_open() function restores the autopm interface state on error condition. The bug fix in in stop_read_write_urbs() function assures that both receive and interrupt urbs are recycled.
