There is a memory leak possible in dentry_open(). If get_empty_filp() fails, then the references to dentry and mnt need to be released. The attached patch adds the calls to dput() and mntput() to release these two references. Signed-off-by:

The code for FUTEX_WAKE_OP calls an arch callback, futex_atomic_op_inuser(). That callback can return an error code, but currently the caller assumes any error is EFAULT, and will try various things to resolve the fault before eventually giving up with EFAULT (regardless of the original error code). This is not a theoretical case - arch callbacks currently return -ENOSYS if the opcode they are given is bogus. This patch alters the code to detect non-EFAULT errors and return them directly to the user. Of course, whether -ENOSYS is the correct return value for the bogus opcode case, or whether EINVAL would be more appropriate is another question. Signed-off-by:

AIO was adding a new context's max requests to the global total before testing if that resulting total was over the global limit. This let innocent tasks get their new limit tested along with a racing guilty task that was crossing the limit. This serializes the _nr accounting with a spinlock It also switches to using unsigned long for the global totals. Individual contexts are still limited to an unsigned int's worth of requests by the syscall interface. The problem and fix were verified with a simple program that spun creating and destroying a context while holding on to another long lived context. Before the patch a task creating a tiny context could get a spurious EAGAIN if it raced with a task creating a very large context that overran the limit. Signed-off-by:

Reiser4 uses radix trees to solve a trouble reiser4_readdir has serving nfs requests. Unfortunately, radix tree api lacks an operation suitable for modifying existing entry. This patch adds radix_tree_lookup_slot which returns pointer to found item within the tree. That location can be then updated. Both Nick and Christoph Lameter have patches which need this as well.

This patch has the changes to support the memory floor fix done in Dell BIOS. The BIOS incase of packet update mechanism would not accept packet placed in memory below a cretain address. This address is by default 128K but can change. The driver now can accept the memory floor if the user chooses to make it will try to allocate contiguous physical memory above the memory floor by allocating a set of packets till a valid memory allocation is made. All the allocates then are freed. This repeats for everty packet. This patch was created by Michael E Brown and has been tested on 2.6.14-rc5 Signed-of-by:

driver_unregister is not being properly called when the init function returns an error case. Restructured the return logic such that this and the other cleanups all happen in one place. Preformed many of the cleanups that Andrew Morton's patch on Thursday made in tpm_atmel.c. Fixed Matthieu's concern about writing before discovery. (akpm: rmk said: This driver is buggy. You must not provide your own release function - it doesn't solve the problem which the warning (which you get when you don't provide one) is telling you about. You should convert your device driver over to the replacement dynamic platform support, once it is merged. IOW, something like: pdev = platform_device_alloc("mydev", id); if (pdev) { err = platform_device_add_resources(pdev, &resources, ARRAY_SIZE(resources)); if (err == 0) err = platform_device_add_data(pdev, &platform_data, sizeof(platform_data)); if (err == 0) err = platform_device_add(pdev); } else { err = -ENOMEM; } if (err) platform_device_put(pdev); ) Signed-off-by:Kylene Jo Hall <kjhall@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

There is a wrong BUG in mxser_close. The BUG is triggered when tty->driver_data == NULL, But in fact this is not a bug, because tty->driver->close is called even when tty->driver->open fails. LDD3 tells us to do nothing in such cases. Signed-off-by:

This patch identifies the HPET Maintainers. Clemens in taking over as primary maintainer for the HPET driver. Clemens has i386 hardware with HPET and is a better choice than me because of this. I've shared this patch with all cc: recipients and there is agreement on ownership. Hopefully this eliminates future confusion in terms of where HPET maintenance is owned. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a connector that reports fork, exec, id change, and exit events for all processes to userspace. It replaces the fork_advisor patch that ELSA is currently using. Applications that may find these events useful include accounting/auditing (e.g. ELSA), system activity monitoring (e.g. top), security, and resource management (e.g. CKRM). Signed-off-by:

Access to FBA disks via DIAG fails for block sizes > 512 byte. The device analysis code of the DIAG discipline does not properly initialize the DIAG250 device environment after completion of the analysis. This results in VM only serving 512 bytes per block I/O request whereas Linux expects larger block sizes. Add proper device environment setup to end of analysis code. Signed-off-by:

Remove pagex pseudo page fault code. It does not work together with the system call speedup that makes the complete system call path enabled for interrupts. To make pagex and the syscall speedup code work together we would have to add code to the program check handler to do a critical section cleanup like the asynchronous interrupt code. This would make program checks slower. Not what we want. Newer versions of z/VM have the improved pfault pseudo page fault interface. This replaces the old pagex interface and does not have the problem. So its better to just rip out the pagex code. Signed-off-by:
