[PATCH] s390: deadlock in appldata
The system might hang when using appldata_mem with high I/O traffic and a
large number of devices. The spinlocks bdev_lock and swaplock are acquired
via calls to si_meminfo() and si_swapinfo() from a tasklet, i.e. interrupt
context, which can lead to a deadlock. Replace tasklet with work queue.

The condition for no context in do_exception checks for hard and soft
interrupts by using in_interrupt() but not for preemption. This is bad for
the users of __copy_from/to_user_inatomic because the fault handler might call
schedule although the preemption count is != 0. Use in_atomic() instead
in_interrupt().

[PATCH] s390: uml ptrace fixes
To make UML build and run on s390, I needed to do these two little
changes:
1) UML includes some of the subarch's (s390) headers. I had to
change one of them with the following one-liner, to make this
compile. AFAICS, this change doesn't break compilation of s390
itself.
2) UML needs to intercept syscalls via ptrace to invalidate the syscall,
read syscall's parameters and write the result with the result of
UML's syscall processing. Also, UML needs to make sure, that the host
does no syscall restart processing. On i386 for example, this can be
done by writing -1 to orig_eax on the 2nd syscall interception
(orig_eax is the syscall number, which after the interception is used
as a "interrupt was a syscall" flag only.
Unfortunately, s390 holds syscall number and syscall result in gpr2 and
its "interrupt was a syscall" flag (trap) is unreachable via ptrace.
So I changed the host to set trap to -1, if the syscall number is changed
to an invalid value on the first syscall interception.

The special cases of peek and poke on acrs[15] and the fpc register are not
handled correctly. A poke on acrs[15] will clobber the 4 bytes after the
access registers in the thread_info structure. That happens to be the kernel
stack pointer. A poke on the fpc with an invalid value is not caught by the
validity check. On the next context switch the broken fpc value will cause a
program check in the kernel. Improving the checks in peek and poke fixes
this.

[SCSI] fix slab corruption during ipr probe
With CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y I see slab corruption messages during boot on
pSeries machines with IPR adapters with any 2.6.12-rc kernel.
The change which seems to have introduced the problem is "SCSI: revamp
target scanning routines" and may be found at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bk-commits-head&m=111093946426333&w=2
In order to revert that in a 2.6.12-rc1 tree, I had to revert "target
code updates to support scanned targets" first:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bk-commits-head&m=111094132524649&w=2
With both patches reverted, the corruption messages go away.
I did some digging and the problem seems to be a refcounting issue in
__scsi_add_device. The target gets freed in scsi_target_reap, and
then __scsi_add_device tries to do another device_put on it.

Great! FWIW I've briefly tested a modified version of usbatm using
the list head in struct urb instead of creating a wrapper struct, and I
haven't seen any failures yet. So I tend to believe that your "should

This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware

- Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
exist with the same name as a child node of the parent. We now
simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
/proc with random result...
- Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
address is 0. This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
buggy and didn't always work anyway.
- Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
node. These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
dentry and inode cache bloat.
This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.
