minimal fix for do_filp_open() race
failure exits on the no-O_CREAT side of do_filp_open() merge with
those of O_CREAT one; unfortunately, if do_path_lookup() returns
-ESTALE, we'll get out_filp:, notice that we are about to return
-ESTALE without having trying to create the sucker with LOOKUP_REVAL
and jump right into the O_CREAT side of code. And proceed to try
and create a file. Usually that'll fail with -ESTALE again, but
we can race and get that attempt of pathname resolution to succeed.
open() without O_CREAT really shouldn't end up creating files, races
or not. The real fix is to rearchitect the whole do_filp_open(),
but for now splitting the failure exits will do.

DNS: Fix a NULL pointer deref when trying to read an error key [CVE-2011-1076]
When a DNS resolver key is instantiated with an error indication, attempts to
read that key will result in an oops because user_read() is expecting there to
be a payload - and there isn't one [CVE-2011-1076].
Give the DNS resolver key its own read handler that returns the error cached in
key->type_data.x[0] as an error rather than crashing.
Also make the kenter() at the beginning of dns_resolver_instantiate() limit the
amount of data it prints, since the data is not necessarily NUL-terminated.
The buggy code was added in:
commit 4a2d789267e00b5a1175ecd2ddefcc78b83fbf09
Author: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com>
Date: Wed Aug 11 09:37:58 2010 +0100
Subject: DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2]
This can trivially be reproduced by any user with the following program
compiled with -lkeyutils:
What should happen is that keyctl_read() reports error 6 (ENXIO) to the user:
dns-break: read_key: No such device or address
but instead the kernel oopses.
This cannot be reproduced with the 'keyutils add' or 'keyutils padd' commands
as both of those cut the data down below the NUL termination that must be
included in the data. Without this dns_resolver_instantiate() will return
-EINVAL and the key will not be instantiated such that it can be read.
The oops looks like:

of/promtree: allow DT device matching by fixing 'name' brokenness (v5)
Commit e2f2a93b, "of/promtree: add package-to-path support to pdt"
changed dp->name from using the 'name' property to using
package-to-path. This fixed /proc/device-tree creation by eliminating
conflicts between names (the 'name' property provides names like
'battery', whereas package-to-path provides names like
'/foo/bar/battery@0', which we stripped to 'battery@0'). However, it
also breaks of_device_id table matching.
The fix that we _really_ wanted was to keep dp->name based upon
the name property ('battery'), but based dp->full_name upon
package-to-path ('battery@0'). This patch does just that.
This changes all users (except SPARC) of promtree to use the full
result from package-to-path for full_name, rather than stripping the
directory out. In practice, the strings end up being exactly the
same; this change saves time, code, and memory.
SPARC continues to use the existing build_path_component() code.
v2: combine two patches and revert of_pdt_node_name to original version

block: blk-flush shouldn't call directly into q->request_fn() __blk_run_queue()
blk-flush decomposes a flush into sequence of multiple requests. On
completion of a request, the next one is queued; however, block layer

drivers and violates the assumption that q->request_fn() is called

This patch makes blk-flush the following two changes to make sure
q->request_fn() is not called directly from request completion path.
- blk_flush_complete_seq_end_io() now asks __blk_run_queue() to always
use kblockd instead of calling directly into q->request_fn().
- queue_next_fseq() uses ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE instead of
ELEVATOR_INSERT_FRONT so that elv_insert() doesn't try to unplug the
request queue directly.

In fact, there is no good reason to mess with i_nlink of the moved file.
We did it presumably to simulate linking into the new directory and unlinking
from an old one. But the practical effect of this is disputable because fsck
can possibly treat file as being properly linked into both directories without
writing any error which is confusing. So we just stop increment-decrement

On a Thinkpad x61s, I noticed some memory corruption when

4 bytes at the beginning of a page get overwritten by zeroes.
The address of the corruption varies when rebooting the machine, but
stays constant while it's running (so it's possible to repeatedly write
some data and then corrupt it again by plugging the cable).
Further investigation revealed that the corrupted address is
(dev_priv->status_page_dmah->busaddr & 0xffffffff), ie. the beginning of
the hardware status page of the i965 graphics card, cut to 32 bits.
So it seems that for some memory access, the hardware uses only 32 bit

"TPM is working for me so I can log into employer's network in 2.6.37.
It broke when I tried 2.6.38-rc6, with the following relevant lines
from my dmesg:
This caused me to get suspicious, especially since the _other_ TPM
commit in 2.6.38 had already been reverted, so I tried reverting
commit c4ff4b829e: "TPM: Long default timeout fix". With this commit
reverted, my TPM on my Lenovo T410 is once again working."

blk-throttle: Do not use kblockd workqueue for throtl work
o Dominik Klein reported a system hang issue while doing some blkio
throttling testing.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/24/173
o Some tracing revealed that CFQ was not dispatching any more jobs as
queue unplug was not happening. And queue unplug was not happening
because unplug work was not being called as there was one throttling
work on same cpu which as not finished yet. And throttling work had not
finished as it was tyring to dispatch a bio to CFQ but all the request
descriptors were consume to it was put to sleep.
o So basically it is a cyclic dependecny between CFQ unplug work and
throtl dispatch work. Tejun suggested that use separate workqueue for
such cases.
o This patch uses a separate workqueue for throttle related work and
does not rely on kblockd workqueue anymore.
Several ACPI drivers fail to build if CONFIG_NET is unset, because
they refer to things depending on CONFIG_THERMAL that in turn depends
on CONFIG_NET. However, CONFIG_THERMAL doesn't really need to depend
on CONFIG_NET, because the only part of it requiring CONFIG_NET is
the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c.
Put the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c under #ifdef CONFIG_NET
and remove the dependency of CONFIG_THERMAL on CONFIG_NET from
drivers/thermal/Kconfig.

Commit e2cda3226481 ("thp: add pmd mangling generic functions") replaced
some macros in <asm-generic/pgtable.h> with inline functions.
If the functions are to be defined (not all architectures need them)
