Sharyathi Nagesh 0130b0b32e [PATCH] fix Data Acess error in dup_fd

The problem is because of race window.  When if(expand) block is executed in
dup_fd unlocking of oldf->file_lock give a window for fdtable in oldf to be
modified.  So actual open_files in oldf may not match with open_files
variable.

Russell King d8b295f290 [PATCH] Fix missing parens in set_personality()
If you call set_personality() with an expression such as:

	set_personality(foo ? PERS_FOO1 : PERS_FOO2);

then this evaluates to:

	((current->personality == foo ? PERS_FOO1 : PERS_FOO2) ? ...

which is obviously not the intended result.  Add the missing parents
to ensure this gets evaluated as expected:

	((current->personality == (foo ? PERS_FOO1 : PERS_FOO2)) ? ...

David Miller d67afe5ed0 [PATCH] pci: don't try to remove sysfs files before they are setup.
The PCI sysfs attributes are created after the initial PCI bus scan.  With
the addition of more return value checking and assertions in the device and
sysfs layers we now can get dumps like this on sparc64:

[   20.135032] Call Trace:

[   20.135514] PCI0(PBMB): Bus running at 33MHz

It's triggering because removal of the "config" PCI sysfs file for the
device fails.

On sparc64, after probing the device, we'll delete the PCI device via
pci_remove_bus_device() if we cannot find the firmware device tree node
corresponding to it.

This is fine, but at this point the sysfs files for the PCI device won't be
setup yet.

So we should not try to do anything in pci_remove_sysfs_dev_files() if
pci_sysfs_init() has not run yet.

David Chinner 4c60658e0f [XFS] Prevent a deadlock when xfslogd unpins inodes.
The previous fixes for the use after free in xfs_iunpin left a nasty log
deadlock when xfslogd unpinned the inode and dropped the last reference to
the inode. the ->clear_inode() method can issue transactions, and if the
log was full, the transaction could push on the log and get stuck trying
to push the inode it was currently unpinning.

To fix this, we provide xfs_iunpin a guarantee that it will always have a
valid xfs_inode <-> linux inode link or a particular flag will be set on
the inode. We then use log forces during lookup to ensure transactions are
completed before we recycle the inode. This ensures that xfs_iunpin will
never use the linux inode after it is being freed, and any lookup on an
inode on the reclaim list will wait until it is safe to attach a new linux
inode to the xfs inode.

John Rose ae883cab94 [POWERPC] pseries: Force 4k update_flash block and list sizes
The enablement of 64k pages on pseries platforms exposed a bug in
the RTAS mechanism for updating firmware.  RTAS assumes 4k for flash
block and list sizes, and use of any other sizes results in a failure,
even though PAPR does not specify any such requirement.

This patch changes the rtas_flash module to force the use of 4k memory
block and list sizes when preparing and sending a firmware image to
RTAS.  The rtas_flash function now uses a slab cache of 4k blocks with
4k alignment, rather than get_zeroed_page(), to allocate the memory for
the flash blocks and lists.  The 4k alignment requirement is specified
in PAPR.

that the card replies with ILLEGAL_COMMAND error for the next command sent
after rescanning. Currently the next command is select card, which would
return the error. But CMD7 does actually succeed and retries of the command
will timeout. The workaround is to poll card status after CMD1 to clear the
pending error.

Paul Mackerras 621da0f8af [POWERPC] Make sure initrd and dtb sections get into zImage correctly
The "wrapper" script was using the wrong names for the initrd and
dtb (device-tree blob) sections.  This fixes it, and also ensures
the symbols for the start and end of the dtb get defined correctly.

J. Bruce Fields 088406bcf6 [PATCH] nfsd: fix spurious error return from nfsd_create in async case
Commit 6264d69d7d modified the nfsd_create()
error handling in such a way that nfsd_create will usually return
nfserr_perm even when succesful, if the export has the async export option.

This introduced a regression that could cause mkdir() to always return a
permissions error, even though the directory in question was actually
succesfully created.

Eric W. Biederman 43539c38cd [PATCH] htirq: allow buggy drivers of buggy hardware to write the registers
This patch adds a variant of ht_create_irq __ht_create_irq that takes an
aditional parameter update that is a function that is called whenever we want
to write to a drivers htirq configuration registers.

This is needed to support the ipath_iba6110 because it's registers in the
proper location are not actually conected to the hardware that controlls
interrupt delivery.

Eric W. Biederman ec68307cc5 [PATCH] htirq: refactor so we only have one function that writes to the chip
This refactoring actually optimizes the code a little by caching the value
that we think the device is programmed with instead of reading it back from
the hardware.  Which simplifies the code a little and should speed things up a
bit.

This patch introduces the concept of a ht_irq_msg and modifies the
architecture read/write routines to update this code.

There is a minor consistency fix here as well as x86_64 forgot to initialize
the htirq as masked.

A wrong function was being used to free a list; this fixes the problem.
Otherwise, an oops at unload time was possible.  But not likely, since you
can't have any users when you unload the modules and it is very hard to get

Eric W. Biederman 13bb7e37e5 [PATCH] sysctl: Undeprecate sys_sysctl
The basic issue is that despite have been deprecated and warned about as a
very bad thing in the man pages since its inception there are a few real
users of sys_sysctl.  It was my assumption that because sysctl had been
deprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point,
so I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period.

Now that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed
with deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and
work with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to
find these last remaining users.

Which means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the
meantime.

Since I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl
entries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to
fix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is
no longer a need to change the binary interface at all.

Since the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and
the worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break
the ABI have been addressed I don't see any advantage in continuing with
the removal of sys_sysctl.

So instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes
the deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code
in by default.

With committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a
fast interface for anything that needs it.  Currently sys_sysctl is about
5x faster than /proc/sys, for the same string data.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 6c33eb3997 [PATCH] ia64: select ACPI_NUMA if ACPI
When ACPI && NUMA, pxm_to_node is used and it exists in drivers/acpi/numa.c

Tony said:

  The patch makes sense ...  if you pick both of "ACPI" and "NUMA", then you
  need (and should automatically be given) ACPI_NUMA too.

  The only open question is whether there is a better way of getting there.
  Perhaps with less configuration options in the first place?  We are heading
  towards a future where so many systems will be NUMA that there would seem to
  be little benefit in keeping ACPI_NUMA separate from ACPI ...  but perhaps
  we aren't quite there yet.

1) It doesn't make room for gs registers.

2) It doesn't change status of the current kprobe.  This status will

This patch fixes these bugs and, additionally, saves skipped registers for
compatibility with the original kretprobe.

Rafael J. Wysocki 4b438a23fb [PATCH] md: do not freeze md threads for suspend
If there's a swap file on a software RAID, it should be possible to use this
file for saving the swsusp's suspend image.  Also, this file should be
available to the memory management subsystem when memory is being freed before
the suspend image is created.

For the above reasons it seems that md_threads should not be frozen during the
suspend and the appended patch makes this happen, but then there is the
question if they don't cause any data to be written to disks after the suspend
image has been created, provided that all filesystems are frozen at that time.
