Aesthetic regards aside, commit e8e7b9eb11c34ee18bde8b7011af41938d1ad667
still leaves a bug in the error message, because it uses the unconverted
big-endian value for printk.
Fix this by using a local variable in machine byte order. The result is
correct, more readable, and also produces slightly shorter code on i386.

In relay's current read implementation, if the buffer is completely full
but hasn't triggered the buffer-full condition (i.e. the last write
didn't cross the subbuffer boundary) and the last subbuffer is exactly
full, the subbuffer accounting code erroneously finds nothing available.
This patch fixes the problem.

It seems cdrwtool in the udftools has been unusable on "modern" kernels
for some time. A Google search reveals many people with the same issue
but no solution (cdrwtool fails to format the disk). After spending some
time tracking down the issue, it comes down to the following:
The udftools still use the older CDROM_SEND_PACKET interface to send
things like FORMAT_UNIT through to the drive. They should really be
updated, but that's another story. Since most distros are using libata
now, the cd or dvd burner appears as a SCSI device, and we wind up in
block/scsi_ioctl.c. Here, the code tries to take the "struct
cdrom_generic_command" and translate it and stuff it into a "struct
sg_io_hdr" structure so it can pass it to the modern sg_io() routine
instead. Unfortunately, there is one error, or rather an omission in the
translation. The timeout that is passed in in the "struct
cdrom_generic_command" is in HZ=100 units, and this is modified and
correctly converted to jiffies by use of clock_t_to_jiffies(). However,
a little further down, this cgc.timeout value in jiffies is simply
copied into the sg_io_hdr timeout, which should be in milliseconds.
Since most modern x86 kernels seems to be getting build with HZ=250, the
timeout that is passed to sg_io and eventually converted to the
timeout_per_command member of the scsi_cmnd structure is now four times
too small. Since cdrwtool tries to set the timeout to one hour for the
FORMAT_UNIT command, and it takes about 20 minutes to format a 4x CDRW,
the SCSI error-handler kicks in after the FORMAT_UNIT completes because
it took longer than the incorrectly-calculated timeout.

I think in source code mlock(2), setting errno ENOMEM has been missed in
do_mlock() , on mlock_fixup() failure.

Some or all of the address range specified by the addr and

When signal is noisy, hardware can use all RX buffers and since the last
entry in the list is self-linked, it overwrites the entry until we link
new buffers.
Ensure that we don't free this last one until we are 100% sure that it
is not used by the hardware anymore to not cause memory curruption as
can be seen below.
This is done by checking next buffer in the list. Even after that we
know that the hardware refetched the new link and proceeded further
(the next buffer is ready) we can finally free the overwritten buffer.
We discard it since the status in its descriptor is overwritten (OR-ed
by new status) too.

Lookup can install a child dentry for a deleted directory. This keeps
the directory dentry alive, and the inode pinned in the cache and on
disk, even after all external references have gone away.
This isn't a big problem normally, since memory pressure or umount
will clear out the directory dentry and its children, releasing the
inode. But for UBIFS this causes problems because its orphan area can
overflow.
Fix this by returning ENOENT for all lookups on a S_DEAD directory
before creating a child dentry.
Thanks to Zoltan Sogor for noticing this while testing UBIFS, and
Artem for the excellent analysis of the problem and testing.

Ok, do_debug() is a trap, this can happen at any time regardless of the
machine's IRQ state. So the first thing we do is fix up the IRQ state.
Then we call this die notifier stuff; and return with messed up IRQ
state... YAY.
So, kprobes fudges it..
notify_die(DIE_DEBUG)
kprobe_exceptions_notify()
post_kprobe_handler()
modify regs->flags
trace_hardirqs_fixup_flags(regs->flags); <--- must be it
So what's the use of modifying flags if they're not meant to take effect
at some point.

read multi array pointer

access data referenced by multi array pointer

eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memory
commit 7fcba054373d5dfc43d26e243a5c9b92069972ee upstream

Subject: eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memory
With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption
when testing eCryptfs. The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was
doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice
page-aligned chunk of memory. But at least with SLUB debugging on, this
is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not
necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc.
My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2
different multi-megabyte files. With this change I no longer see the
corruption.

Copy tuner data earlier in init to avoid overwriting manual tuner type
When saa7134_board_init2 runs, it immediately overwrites the
current value (set earlier from module parameter) of tuner_type
with the static values, and then does autodetection. This patch
moves the tuner_addr copy to earlier in saa7134_initdev and
removes the tuner_type copy from saa7134_board_init2.
Autodetection could still potentially change to the wrong tuner
type, but it is now possible to override the default type for

My card's tuner is configured with autodetection from eeprom,
so I don't need to manually set the tuner. I've checked that

part of commit 0dcffac1a329be69bab0ac604bf7283737108e68 upstream
(the upstream multislice patch contains this fix within a large
rework of the code since there is one rx_done ring per slice. The
old allocating is replaced by a call to myri10ge_probe_slices())
Allocating the rx_done ring requires mgp->max_intr_slots to
be valid, which requires that we already loaded the firmware
we are going to use with this ring.
So move the allocating after myri10ge_load_firmware()
(but keep it before myri10ge_reset() which already needs the
rx_done ring).
If fixedsa regression where loading the driver would not
appear to do anything. Regression introduced in 2.6.26-rc3 by
commit 014377a1df693ff30a9e8b69f0bbb0a38e601f75

Reproduced and patch tested also by me.
myri10ge: do not forget to setup the single slice pointers
part of commit 0dcffac1a329be69bab0ac604bf7283737108e68 upstream
(the upstream multislice patch contains the same fix within
myri10ge_alloc_slices() which does this for every slice)
Even if we don't have multiple slices in myri10ge in 2.6.26,
we already use some multislice-aware routines that need the
slice state pointers to mgp and dev to be valid.
This patch fixes a regression where configuring the interface up
would oops in myri10ge_allocate_rings() when using ss->mgp
(and later when using ss->dev).

No straightforward fix exists because we want to
enable these IRQs and setup state atomically before
getting into the IRQ handler the first time.
What happens now is that we mark the VIRQ to not be
automatically enabled by request_irq(). Then we
make explicit enable_irq() calls when we grab the
LDC channel.
This way we don't need to call request_irq() illegally
under the LDC channel lock any more.
Bump LDC version and release date.

This is based upon an excellent bug report from Eric Dumazet.
tcp_ack() should clear ->icsk_probes_out even if there are packets
outstanding. Otherwise if we get a sequence of ACKs while we do have
packets outstanding over and over again, we'll never clear the
probes_out value and eventually think the connection is too sick and
we'll reset it.
This appears to be some "optimization" added to tcp_ack() in the 2.4.x
timeframe. In 2.2.x, probes_out is pretty much always cleared by
tcp_ack().
Here is Eric's original report:
----------------------------------------
Apparently, we can in some situations reset TCP connections in a couple of seconds when some frames are lost.
In order to reproduce the problem, please try the following program on linux-2.6.25.*
Setup some iptables rules to allow two frames per second sent on loopback interface to tcp destination port 12000
iptables -N SLOWLO
iptables -A SLOWLO -m hashlimit --hashlimit 2 --hashlimit-burst 1 --hashlimit-mode dstip --hashlimit-name slow2 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A SLOWLO -j DROP
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp --dport 12000 -j SLOWLO
Then run the attached program and see the output :

Due to the addition of __attribute__((__cold__)) to a few symbols
without adjusting the linker scripts, those symbols currently may end
up outside the [_stext,_etext) range, as they get placed in
.text.unlikely by (at least) gcc 4.3.0. This may confuse code not only
outside of the kernel, symbol_put_addr()'s BUG() could also trigger.
Hence we need to add .text.unlikely (and for future uses of
__attribute__((__hot__)) also .text.hot) to the TEXT_TEXT() macro.

This fixes kernel http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11112 (bogus
RTC update IRQs reported) for rtc-at91rm9200 by scrubbing old IRQ status
before enabling IRQs.
It also removes nonfunctional periodic IRQ support from this driver;
only update IRQs are reported, or provided by the hardware.
I suspect some other RTCs probably have versions of #11112; it's easy to
overlook, since most non-RTC drivers don't care about spurious IRQs:
they're not reported to userspace.

currently if you use PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK on AMD K6-3 (i586) it will crash.
Kernel now wrongly assumes existing DEBUGCTLMSR MSR register there.
Removed the assumption also for some other non-K6 CPUs but I am not sure there
(but it can only bring small inefficiency there if my assumption is wrong).

When a kernel was rebuilt, the previous Module.markers was not cleared.
It caused markers with different format strings to appear as duplicates
when a markers was changed. This problem is present since
scripts/mod/modpost.c started to generate Module.markers, commit b2e3e658b344c6bcfb8fb694100ab2f2b5b2edb0
It therefore applies to 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and linux-next.
I merely merged the patches from Roland, Wenji and Takashi here.

- Changelog :
- Integrated Takashi's Makefile modification to clear Module.markers upon
make clean.
The explanation for recent video BIOS suspend quirk failures is that
the VESA BIOS expects to be entered in Big Real Mode (*.limit = 0xffffffff)
instead of ordinary Real Mode (*.limit = 0xffff).
This patch changes the segment descriptors to Big Real Mode instead.
The segment descriptor registers (what Intel calls "segment cache") is
always active. The only thing that changes based on CR0.PE is how it is
*loaded* and the interpretation of the CS flags.
The segment descriptor registers contain of the following sub-registers:
selector (the "visible" part), base, limit and flags. In protected mode
or long mode, they are loaded from descriptors (or fs.base or gs.base can
be manipulated directly in long mode.) In real mode, the only thing
changed by a segment register load is the selector and the base, where the
base <- selector << 4. In particular, *the limit and the flags are not
changed*.
As far as the handling of the CS flags: a code segment cannot be writable
in protected mode, whereas it is "just another segment" in real mode, so
there is some kind of quirk that kicks in for this when CR0.PE <- 0. I'm
not sure if this is accomplished by actually changing the cs.flags register
or just changing the interpretation; it might be something that is
CPU-specific. In particular, the Transmeta CPUs had an explicit "CS is
writable if you're in real mode" override, so even if you had loaded CS
with an execute-only segment it'd be writable (but not readable!) on return
to real mode. I'm not at all sure if that is how other CPUs behave.

The comment was correct -- need to make the code match the comment.
Without this patch, if a CPU goes dynticks idle (and stays there forever)
in just the right phase of preemptible-RCU grace-period processing,
grace periods stall. The offending sequence of events (courtesy
of Promela/spin, at least after I got the liveness criterion coded
correctly...) is as follows:
o CPU 0 is in dynticks-idle mode. Its dynticks_progress_counter
is (say) 10.
o CPU 0 takes an interrupt, so rcu_irq_enter() increments CPU 0's
dynticks_progress_counter to 11.
o CPU 1 is doing RCU grace-period processing in rcu_try_flip_idle(),
sees rcu_pending(), so invokes dyntick_save_progress_counter(),
which in turn takes a snapshot of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter
into CPU 0's rcu_dyntick_snapshot -- now set to 11. CPU 1 then
updates the RCU grace-period state to rcu_try_flip_waitack().
o CPU 0 returns from its interrupt, so rcu_irq_exit() increments
CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter to 12.
o CPU 1 later invokes rcu_try_flip_waitack(), which notices that
CPU 0 has not yet responded, and hence in turn invokes
rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed(). This function examines the
state of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter and rcu_dyntick_snapshot
variables, which it copies to curr (== 12) and snap (== 11),
respectively.
Because curr!=snap, the first condition fails.
Because curr-snap is only 1 and snap is odd, the second
condition fails.
rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed() therefore incorrectly concludes
that it must wait for CPU 0 to explicitly acknowledge the
counter flip.
o CPU 0 remains forever in dynticks-idle mode, never taking
any more hardware interrupts or any NMIs, and never running
any more tasks. (Of course, -something- will usually eventually
happen, which might be why we haven't seen this one in the
wild. Still should be fixed!)
Therefore the grace period never ends. Fix is to make the code match
the comment, as shown below. With this fix, the above scenario
would be satisfied with curr being even, and allow the grace period
to proceed.

ptrace has always returned only -EIO for all failures to access
registers. The user_regset calls are allowed to return a more
meaningful variety of errors. The REGSET_XFP calls use -ENODEV
for !cpu_has_fxsr hardware. Make ptrace return the traditional
-EIO instead of the error code from the user_regset call.
The direct mapped shadow code (used for real mode and two dimensional paging)
sets upper-level ptes using direct assignment rather than calling
set_shadow_pte(). A nonpae host will split this into two writes, which opens
up a race if another vcpu accesses the same memory area.
Fix by calling set_shadow_pte() instead of assigning directly.

Some iso9660 images contain files with rockridge data that is either
incorrect or incompletely parsed. Prior to commit f2966632a134e865db3c819346a1dc7d96e05309 ("[PATCH] rock: handle directory
overflows") (included with kernel 2.6.13) the kernel ignored the rockridge
data for these files, while still allowing the files to be accessed under
their non-rockridge names. That commit inadvertently changed things so
that files with invalid rockridge data could not be accessed at all. (I
ran across the problem when comparing some old CDs with hard disk copies I
had made long ago under kernel 2.4: a few of the files on the hard disk
copies were no longer visible on the CDs.)
This change reverts to the pre-2.6.13 behavior.

When quota structure is going to be dropped and it is dirty, quota code tries
to write it. If the write fails for some reason (e. g. transaction cannot
be started because the journal is aborted), we try writing again and again and
again... Fix the problem by clearing the dirty bit even if the write failed.
(akpm: for 2.6.27, 2.6.26.x and 2.6.25.x)

This is a trivial patch against the hdlcdrv module that fixes its CRC
calculation. The finished CRC was overwriting the first two bytes of
each packet rather than being appended to the end.
I've tested this with 2.6.8 and 2.6.10-rc1, but hdlcdrv hasn't changed
much recently so it should work with many other kernel versions.

This fixes the bridge reference count problem and cleanups ipv6 FIB
timer management. Don't use expires field, because it is not a proper
way to test, instead use timer_pending().

This patch clamps the cscov setsockopt values to a maximum of 0xFFFF.
Setsockopt values greater than 0xffff can cause an unwanted
wrap-around. Further, IPv6 jumbograms are not supported (RFC 3838,
3.5), so that values greater than 0xffff are not even useful.
Further changes: fixed a typo in the documentation.
