This off-by-one bug causes sendfile() to not work properly. When a task calls sendfile() on a file on a CIFS filesystem, the syscall returns -1 and sets errno to EOVERFLOW. do_sendfile uses s_maxbytes to verify the returned offset of the file. The problem there is that this value is cast to a signed value (loff_t). When this is done on the s_maxbytes value that cifs uses, it becomes negative and the comparisons against it fail. Even though s_maxbytes is an unsigned value, it seems that it's not OK to set it in such a way that it'll end up negative when it's cast to a signed value. These casts happen in other codepaths besides sendfile too, but the VFS is a little hard to follow in this area and I can't be sure if there are other bugs that this will fix. It's not clear to me why s_maxbytes isn't just declared as loff_t in the first place, but either way we still need to fix these values to make sendfile work properly. This is also an opportunity to replace the magic bit-shift values here with the standard #defines for this. This fixes the reproducer program I have that does a sendfile and will probably also fix the situation where apache is serving from a CIFS share.

Standard data flow for MMC/SD/SDIO cards requires that the mvsdio controller be set for big endian operation. This is causing problems with buffers which length is not a multiple of 4 bytes as the last partial word doesn't get shifted all the way and stored properly in memory. Let's compensate for this.

If spin_lock_irqsave is called twice in a row with the same second argument, the interrupt state at the point of the second call overwrites the value saved by the first call. Indeed, the second call does not need to save the interrupt state, so it is changed to a simple spin_lock. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression lock1,lock2; expression flags; @@ *spin_lock_irqsave(lock1,flags) ... when != flags *spin_lock_irqsave(lock2,flags) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The buffer for the consoles are unconditionally allocated at con_init() time, which miss the creation of the vcs(a) devices. Since 2.6.30 (commit 4995f8ef, 'vcs: hook sysfs devices into object lifetime instead of "binding"' to be exact) these devices are no longer created at open() and removed on close(), but controlled by the lifetime of the buffers.

The BSS section macros in vmlinux.lds.h currently place the .sbss input section outside the bounds of [__bss_start, __bss_end]. On all architectures except for microblaze that handle both .sbss and __bss_start/__bss_end, this is wrong: the .sbss input section is within the range [__bss_start, __bss_end]. Relatedly, the example code at the top of the file actually has __bss_start/__bss_end defined twice; I believe the right fix here is to define them in the BSS_SECTION macro but not in the BSS macro. Another problem with the current macros is that several architectures have an ALIGN(4) or some other small number just before __bss_stop in their linker scripts. The BSS_SECTION macro currently hardcodes this to 4; while it should really be an argument. It also ignores its sbss_align argument; fix that. mn10300 is the only user at present of any of the macros touched by this patch. It looks like mn10300 actually was incorrectly converted to use the new BSS() macro (the alignment of 4 prior to conversion was a __bss_stop alignment, but the argument to the BSS macro is a start alignment). So fix this as well. I'd like acks from Sam and David on this one. Also CCing Paul, since he has a patch from me which will need to be updated to use BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 4) once this gets merged.

ftrace_trace_onoff_callback() will return an error even if we do the right operation, for example: # echo _spin_*:traceon:10 > set_ftrace_filter -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # cat set_ftrace_filter #### all functions enabled #### _spin_trylock_bh:traceon:count=10 _spin_unlock_irq:traceon:count=10 _spin_unlock_bh:traceon:count=10 _spin_lock_irq:traceon:count=10 _spin_unlock:traceon:count=10 _spin_trylock:traceon:count=10 _spin_unlock_irqrestore:traceon:count=10 _spin_lock_irqsave:traceon:count=10 _spin_lock_bh:traceon:count=10 _spin_lock:traceon:count=10 We want to set _spin_*:traceon:10 to set_ftrace_filter, it complains with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful. This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes virtually written. Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case. If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned. So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured.
