the Broadcom BCM4401 driver restores pci configuration on resume only when the device is up. On my notebook, this leads to a failure when the device is down during the S3 cycle. Short solution for now: Always restore pci config.

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org> From: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> This fixes an oops on unmount (failure of the assertation at fs/ext3/super.c:421). Probably reproduceable just by creating and deleting a single symlink over nfs and then unmounting the exported filesystem. Recent change to fh_compose means dentry reference is *not* consumed, and so usually has to be explicitly dput afterwards. One usage was missed in that patch, so this dput is needed.

From: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@in.ibm.com> Fix a CPU Hotplug problem wherein idle task's "->prio" value is not restored to MAX_PRIO during CPU_DEAD handling. Without this patch, once a CPU is offlined and then later onlined, it becomes "more or less" useless (does not run any task other than its idle task!) Ingo said: The __setscheduler() call is (technically) incorrect because in the SCHED_NORMAL case the prio should be zero. So it's a bit cleaner to set up the static priority to MAX_PRIO and then revert the policy to SCHED_NORMAL via __setscheduler().

We need to set file->f_ra _after_ calling blkdev_open(), when inode->i_mapping points at the right thing. And we need to get it from inode->i_mapping->host->i_mapping too, which represents the underlying device. Also, don't test for null file->f_mapping in the O_DIRECT checks.

From: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> In researching the oopses reported in bug #2761, Neil came up with: I have found one problem, but it isn't particularly new and I cannot see how it would be related. When d_alloc_anon creates an anonymous dentry, it is put on a special hash chain for anonymous dentries (sb->s_anon), but d_bucket is set to d_hash(parent, name_hash) If, when it is eventually moved to a proper name, that hash value is the same as the final hash value, it will not be moved to the right bucket, and so it not be accessible by name. This patch should fix it. anonymous dentries have their own private hash "bucket" (sb->s_anon) and so d_bucket should be set to a unique (impossible) address, else d_move will get confused.

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> There is a race between unshare_files() and the following steal_locks(). As a consequence, steal_locks() may steal some additional FL_POSIX locks that don't belong to the current thread. This triggers a BUG in locks_remove_flock(). In detail, the current thread shares its files struct with other threads. This causes unshare_files() to associate the current thread with a copy of its files_struct. The copy shares all file objects with the original files struct. In the time between unshare_files() and steal_locks(), another thread creates a new file and a FL_POSIX lock on it. The current thread gets into steal_locks() and takes over all FL_POSIX locks that refer to the previous files_struct, including the new lock. We do put_files_struct(original files_struct). This causes the file handle to the new file to be closed. We get into locks_remove_posix() and miss the lock, because its fl_owner field now refers to the new files_struct. Finally we get into locks_remove_flock(), and stumble upon the lock. While looking into this bug report I gathered the following data with a SUSE kernel (oops and LKCD dump from Chris): kernel BUG at fs/locks.c:1736! invalid operand: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c01844fb>] Tainted: G U EFLAGS: 00010246 (2.6.5-0-testing) EIP is at locks_remove_flock+0x8b/0x130 eax: f7b89998 ebx: f61df3fc ecx: f61df354 edx: 00000000 esi: f61df354 edi: f6702b80 ebp: f6179c24 esp: f6179c08 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process owcimomd (pid: 1713, threadinfo=f6178000 task=f66d0d60) Stack: c1e1fdac c1e1fdac f7fe83c0 00000296 f6702b80 f7fe87c0 f61df354 f6179c3c c016ce00 f61ddadc f6702b80 00000000 f6703b00 f6179c54 c0168b1f c0000000 0000026f 00000012 f6703b00 f6179c6c c0124ba7 00000001 f6179e5c f6179d88 Call Trace: [<c016ce00>] __fput+0x30/0x120 [<c0168b1f>] filp_close+0x4f/0x90 [<c0124ba7>] put_files_struct+0x67/0xc0 [<c019d285>] load_elf_binary+0x3f5/0x1596 [<c018a5af>] update_atime+0x9f/0xc0 [<c01478fd>] __generic_file_aio_read+0x1cd/0x200 [<c0145060>] file_read_actor+0x0/0xd0 [<c01784b7>] search_binary_handler+0x97/0x270 [<c017a072>] do_execve+0x172/0x200 [<c0105fb2>] sys_execve+0x32/0x70 [<c0107e21>] sysenter_past_esp+0x52/0x71 Code: 0f 0b c8 06 eb 74 35 c0 eb db b8 00 e0 ff ff 21 e0 8b 10 8b put_files_struct+0x67 is equivalent to fs/binfmt_elf.c:681 in 2.6.6 current->files == fl->fl_owner fl->fl_file = 0xf6702b80 (a valid struct file) current->files = max_fds=32 max_fdset=1024 next_fd=3 fd=[0xf6927080 0xf6951b80 0xf6951b80 0 ...] Here's a proposed fix. As a side effect, steal_locks no longer walks the global list of locks, but only the locks of all open inodes. What are the reasons (other than historic ones) for not getting rid of fl_owner and using fl_pid instead, by the way? I think that would clean up the whole mess with file locks a bit.

ptep_establish() is used to establish a new mapping at COW time, and it always replaces a non-writable page mapping with a totally new page mapping that is dirty (and likely writable, although ptrace may cause a non-writable new mapping). Because it was nonwritable, we don't have to worry about losing concurrent dirty page bit updates. ptep_update_access_flags() leaves the same page mapping, but updates the accessed/dirty/writable bits (it only ever sets them, and never removes any permissions). Often easier, but it may race with a dirty bit update on another CPU. Booted on x86 and ppc64.

When trying to spddelete individual entries using setkey, spddelete always fails. The culprit is in net/af_key.c; spdadd sets the family field of the selector when creating an entry, but spddelete doesn't when building a selector to match for xfrm_policy_bysel. Trivial fix is to have spddelete set the family field in the selector in same way spdadd does.

helper function to write-back the dirty and accessed bits from ptep_establish(). Right now this defaults to the same old "set_pte()" that we've always done, except for x86 where we now fix the (unlikely) race in updating accessed bits and dropping a concurrent dirty bit.
