      [netdrvr b44] always restore PCI config on resume · bba55a26
      Stefan Rompf authored
      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.

      [PATCH] nfsd: deleting symlinks over nfs causes oops on unmount · 3d61e387
      Andrew Morton authored
      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.

      [PATCH] CPU Hotplug: restore Idle task's priority during CPU_DEAD notification · faf898a6
      Andrew Morton authored
      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().

      [PATCH] remove message: POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX · 4ffa43b8
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>
      
      Remove the outdated "POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX" message.
      
      There is a general desire to reduce the quantity of noisy and/or
      outdated kernel boot-time messages...

      [PATCH] Fix the setting of file->f_ra on block-special files · 1c211088
      Andrew Morton authored
      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.

      [PATCH] Set d_bucket correctly for anonymous dentries · 59a6ce4f
      Andrew Morton authored
      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.

      [PATCH] posix locks oops fix · ab31c400
      Andrew Morton authored
      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):

      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.

      This patch is obviously of the utmost importance.  It probably doesn't matter
      as much for kernel error messages, but one of these mistakes is in a
