a. Enumeration of an empty switch. Empty switch is a switch that
does not have any endpoint devices attached to it (except host device
or previous switch in a chain). New code assigns a phony destination
ID associated with the switch and sets up corresponding routes.
b. Adds a second pass to the enumeration to setup routes to
devices discovered after switch was scanned.
2. Fix enumeration failure when riohdid parameter has non-zero value.
Current version fails to setup response path to the host when it has
destination ID other that 0.

The goals here is to make sure we do not call printk() recursively from
kernel/lockdep.c:__lock_acquire() (called from spin_* and down/up) nor from
kernel/lockdep.c:trace_hardirqs_on/off() (called from local_irq_restore/save).
It can then potentially call printk() through mark_held_locks/mark_lock.
It correctly protects against the spin_lock call and the up/down call, but it
does not protect against local_irq_restore. It could cause infinite recursive
printk/trace_hardirqs_on() calls when printk() is called from the
mark_lock() error handing path.

[PATCH] buffer: memorder fix
unlock_buffer(), like unlock_page(), must not clear the lock without
ensuring that the critical section is closed.
Mingming later sent the same patch, saying:
We are running SDET benchmark and saw double free issue for ext3 extended
attributes block, which complains the same xattr block already being freed (in
ext3_xattr_release_block()). The problem could also been triggered by
multiple threads loop untar/rm a kernel tree.
The race is caused by missing a memory barrier at unlock_buffer() before the
lock bit being cleared, resulting in possible concurrent h_refcounter update.
That causes a reference counter leak, then later leads to the double free that
we have seen.
Inside unlock_buffer(), there is a memory barrier is placed *after* the lock
bit is being cleared, however, there is no memory barrier *before* the bit is
cleared. On some arch the h_refcount update instruction and the clear bit
instruction could be reordered, thus leave the critical section re-entered.
The race is like this: For example, if the h_refcount is initialized as 1,
Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they
want to take advantage of them. there is already a strong precedent for
using shortcuts like this in the source tree.
The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but
shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very
confusingly. note the two very different definitions for a macro named

[PATCH] fix umask when noACL kernel meets extN tuned for ACLs
Fix insecure default behaviour reported by Tigran Aivazian: if an ext2 or
ext3 or ext4 filesystem is tuned to mount with "acl", but mounted by a
kernel built without ACL support, then umask was ignored when creating
inodes - though root or user has umask 022, touch creates files as 0666,
and mkdir creates directories as 0777.
This appears to have worked right until 2.6.11, when a fix to the default
mode on symlinks (always 0777) assumed VFS applies umask: which it does,
unless the mount is marked for ACLs; but ext[234] set MS_POSIXACL in
s_flags according to s_mount_opt set according to def_mount_opts.
We could revert to the 2.6.10 ext[234]_init_acl (adding an S_ISLNK test);
but other filesystems only set MS_POSIXACL when ACLs are configured. We
could fix this at another level; but it seems most robust to avoid setting
the s_mount_opt flag in the first place (at the expense of more ifdefs).
Likewise don't set the XATTR_USER flag when built without XATTR support.

Ideally we should process the orphan inode list during the remount, but that's
trickier, and this plugs the hole for now.

[PATCH] kernel-doc: fix some odd spacing issues
- in man and text mode output, if the function return type is empty (like it
is for macros), don't print the return type and a following space; this
fixes an output malalignment;
- in the function short description, strip leading, trailing, and multiple
embedded spaces (to one space); this makes function name/description output
spacing consistent;
- fix a comment typo;

[PATCH] RTC framework driver for CMOS RTCs
This is an "RTC framework" driver for the "CMOS" RTCs which are standard on
PCs and some other platforms. That's MC146818 compatible silicon.
Advantages of this vs. drivers/char/rtc.c (use one _or_ the other, only
one will be able to claim the RTC irq) include:
- This leverages both the new RTC framework and the driver model; both
PNPACPI and platform device modes are supported. (A separate patch
creates a platform device on PCs where PNPACPI isn't configured.)
- It supports common extensions like longer alarms. (A separate patch
exports that information from ACPI through platform_data.)
- Likewise, system wakeup events use "real driver model support", with
policy control via sysfs "wakeup" attributes and and using normal rtc
ioctls to manage wakeup. (Patch in the works. The ACPI hooks are
known; /proc/acpi/alarm can vanish. Making it work with EFI will
be a minor challenge to someone with e.g. a MiniMac.)
It's not yet been tested on non-x86 systems, without ACPI, or with HPET.
And the RTC framework will surely have teething pains on "mainstream"
PC-based systems (though must embedded Linux systems use it heavily), not
limited to sorting out the "/dev/rtc0" issue (udev easily tweaked). Also,
the ALSA rtctimer code doesn't use the new RTC API.
Otherwise, this should be a no-known-regressions replacement for the old
drivers/char/rtc.c driver, and should help the non-embedded distros (and
the new timekeeping code) start to switch to the framework.
Note also that any systems using "rtc-m48t86" are candidates to switch over
to this more functional driver; the platform data is different, and the way
bytes are read is different, but otherwise those chips should be compatible.

[PATCH] Common compat_sys_sysinfo
I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same
sys32_sysinfo... except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of
the uptime. So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit.
Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it
would be the best tested.
This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but
instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.

[PATCH] tty: improve encode_baud_rate logic
Mostly so people can see the work in progress. This enhances the encode
function which isn't currently used in the base tree but is when using some of
the testing tty patches.
This resolves a problem with some hardware where applications got confusing
information from the tty ioctls. Correct but confusing.
In some situations asking for, say, 9600 baud actually gets you 9595 baud or
similar near-miss values. With the old code this meant that a request for
B9600 got a return of BOTHER, 9595 which programs interpreted as a failure.
The new code now works on the following basis
- If you ask for specific rate via BOTHER, you get a precise return
- If you ask for a standard Bfoo rate and the result is close you get a Bfoo
return
- If you ask for a standard Bfoo rate and get something way off you get a
BOTHER/rate return
This seems to fix up the cases I've found where this broke compatibility.
