[SCSI] Update the SCSI state model to allow blocking in the created state
Brian King <brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com> reported that fibre channel
devices can oops during scanning if their ports block (because the
device goes from CREATED -> BLOCK -> RUNNING rather than CREATED ->
BLOCK -> CREATED).
Fix this by adding a new state: CREATED_BLOCK which can only transition
back to CREATED and disallow the CREATED -> BLOCK transition. Now both
the created and blocked states that the mid-layer recognises can include
CREATED_BLOCK.

[SCSI] scsi_netlink: Add transport and LLD recieve and event support
This patch adds scsi netlink recieve and event support for transport
and scsi LLDD's. It is a reimplementation of the patch posted last
week by David Somayajulu.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=121745486221819&w=2
There are a few things done differently:
- Transport support is included
- Event delivery is included
- The vendor message is now its own unique message type, considered
part of the generic "SCSI Transport".
- LLDD entry points are now registered rather than included in the
scsi_host_template.
Background: When I started to implement the event handler via template,
I had to either: muck up scsi_add_host and scsi_remove_host; or have
the event handler search all possible shosts. Neither was acceptable.
Moving to a registration solves this, and also limits the scope of
the changes to something that could be backported to a distro without
breaking an already-released-distro kabi. However, I admit it isn't
as elegant, as the passing of the LLDD host template in the
registration and the complexity around dynamic add/remove shows.
- The receive path was augmented to require a unique identifier for
the LLDD before the message was allowed to be handed off to the
driver. Given how quickly very fatal errors occur if there's msg
mismatches (which I saw in testing my own tools :), I believe this
to be a very good thing. The id plays off the vendor id scheme already
introduced for the vendor unique event messages used by FC.
Additionally, the id use as the basis of the registration/deregistration.
- Send assist functions, for both the transport and LLDDs are included.

[SCSI] scsi_host_lookup: error returns and NULL pointers
This patch cleans up the behavior of scsi_host_lookup().
The original implementation attempted to use the dual role of
either returning a pointer value, or a negative error code.
User's needed to use IS_ERR() to check the result. Additionally,
the IS_ERR() macro never checks for when a NULL pointer was
returned, so a NULL pointer actually passes with a success case.
Note: scsi_host_get(), used by scsi_host_lookup(), can return
a NULL pointer.
Talk about a mudhole for the unitiated to step into....

mm: handle initialising compound pages at orders greater than MAX_ORDER
When we initialise a compound page we initialise the page flags and head
page pointer for all base pages spanned by that page. When we initialise
a gigantic page (a page of order greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER) we
have to initialise more than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages. Currently we
assume that all elements of the mem_map in this page are contigious in
memory. However this is only guarenteed out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages,
and with SPARSEMEM enabled they will not be contigious. This leads us to
walk off the end of the first section and scribble on everything which
follows, BAD.
When we reach a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary we much locate the next
section of the mem_map. As gigantic pages can only be maximally aligned
we know this will occur at exact multiple of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages from
the start of the page.
This is a bug fix for the gigantic page support in hugetlbfs.

MN10300: Fix IRQ handling
Fix the IRQ handling on the MN10300 arch.
This patch makes a number of significant changes:
(1) It separates the irq_chip definition for edge-triggered interrupts from
the one for level-triggered interrupts.
This is necessary because the MN10300 PIC latches the IRQ channel's
interrupt request bit (GxICR_REQUEST), even after the device has ceased to
assert its interrupt line and the interrupt channel has been disabled in
the PIC. So for level-triggered interrupts we need to clear this bit when
we re-enable - which is achieved by setting GxICR_DETECT but not
GxICR_REQUEST when writing to the register.
Not doing this results in spurious interrupts occurring because calling
mask_ack() at the start of handle_level_irq() is insufficient - it fails
to clear the REQUEST latch because the device that caused the interrupt is
still asserting its interrupt line at this point.
(2) IRQ disablement [irq_chip::disable_irq()] shouldn't clear the interrupt
request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.
(3) IRQ unmasking [irq_chip::unmask_irq()] also shouldn't clear the interrupt
request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt.
(4) The end() operation is now left to the default (no-operation) as
__do_IRQ() is compiled out. This may affect misrouted_irq(), but
according to Thomas Gleixner it's the correct thing to do.
(5) handle_level_irq() is used for edge-triggered interrupts rather than
handle_edge_irq() as the MN10300 PIC latches interrupt events even on
masked IRQ channels, thus rendering IRQ_PENDING unnecessary. It is
sufficient to call mask_ack() at the start and unmask() at the end.
(6) For level-triggered interrupts, ack() is now NULL as it's not used, and
there is no effective ACK function on the PIC. mask_ack() is now the
same as mask() as the latch continues to latch, even when the channel is
masked.
Further, the patch discards the disable() op implementation as its now the same
as the mask() op implementation, which is used instead.
It also discards the enable() op implementations as they're now the same as
the unmask() op implementations, which are used instead.

not translated by the "ranges" property in tsi-bridge node.
We used to get away with this problem because the PCI bridge discovery

were always directly under the root bus and treating the translated
addresses as raw CPU addresses, rather than parent bus addresses.
This has since been fixed, thus breaking Holly.
This could be fixed by adding extra translations to the tsi-bridge
node, but this patch instead moves the Holly PCI bridge out of the
tsi-bridge node to the root bus. This makes the tsi-bridge node
represent only the built-in IO devices in the bridge, with a

There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily
seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when

no other task has task->mm = task0->mm)
mm_update_next_owner() leaves
mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users
task0 freed
dereferencing mm->owner fails
The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(),
if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL.
Jiri Slaby:
mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but
must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops.
Daisuke Nishimura:
mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task()

Hugh Dickins:
Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches.
exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(),
so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same. And with that repositioning,
there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm.

hrtimer: mark migration state
Impact: during migration active hrtimers can be seen as inactive
The migration code removes the hrtimers from the queues of the dead
CPU and sets the state temporary to INACTIVE. The enqueue code sets it
to ACTIVE/PENDING again.
Prevent that the wrong state can be seen by using a separate migration
state bit.

changed the hrtimer sleeper callback mode to CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ due
to locking problems. A result of this change is that when enqueue is
called for an already expired hrtimer the callback function is not
longer called directly from the enqueue code. The normal callers have
been fixed in the code, but the migration code which moves hrtimers
from a dead CPU to a live CPU was not made aware of this.
This can be fixed by checking the timer state after the call to
enqueue in the migration code.

Recent changes to oldconfig have mixed up the silentoldconfig handling,
so this fixes that by clearly separating that special mode, e.g.
KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE is only relevant here, the .config is written as
needed.
This will also properly close Bug 11230.

The VFS interface for the 'd_compare()' is a bit special (read: 'odd'),
because it really just essentially replaces a memcmp(). The filesystem
is supposed to just compare the two names with whatever case-independent
or other function.
And when I say 'is supposed to', I obviously mean that 'procfs does odd
things, and actually looks at the dentry that we don't even pass down,
rather than just the name'. Which results in problems, because we
actually call d_compare before we have even verified that the dentry is
still hashed at all.
And that causes a problm since the inode that procfs looks at may have
been free'd and the d_inode pointer is NULL. procfs just assumes that
all dentries are positive, since procfs itself never generates a
negative one. But memory pressure will still result in the dentry
getting torn down, and as it is removed by RCU, it still remains visible
on some lists - and to d_compare.
If the filesystem just did a name comparison, we wouldn't care. And we
could just fix procfs to know about negative dentries too. But rather
than have the low-level filesystems know about internal VFS details,
just move the check for a unhashed dentry up a bit, so that we will only
call d_compare on dentries that are still active.
The actual oops this caused didn't look like a NULL pointer dereference
because procfs did a 'container_of(inode, struct proc_inode, vfs_inode)'
to get at its internal proc_inode information from the inode pointer,
and accessed a field below the inode. So the oops would look something
like

ALSA: make the CS4270 driver a new-style I2C driver
Update the CS4270 ALSA device driver to use the new-style I2C interface.
Starting with the 2.6.27 PowerPC kernel, I2C devices that have entries in the
device trees can no longer be probed by old-style I2C drivers. The device
tree for Freescale MPC8610 HPCD has included an entry for the CS4270 since
2.6.25, but that entry was previously ignored by the PowerPC I2C subsystem.
Since that's no longer the case, the best solution is to update the CS4270
driver to a new-style interface, rather than try to revert the behavior of
new PowerPC I2C subsystem.

sata_nv: reinstate nv_hardreset() for non generic controllers
Commit 2fd673ecf0378ddeeeb87b3605e50212e0c0ddc6 which tried to remove
hardreset for generic accidentally removed it for all flavors as all
others were inheriting from nv_generic_ops. This patch reinstates
nv_hardreset() and puts it into nv_common_ops which all flavors
inherit from. nv_generic_ops now inherits from nv_common_ops and
overrides .hardreset to ATA_OP_NULL.
While at it, explain why nv_hardreset and ATA_OP_NULL override are
necessary.

[SCSI] qlogicpti: fix sg list traversal error in continuation entries
The current sg list traversal logic for the continuation entries
doesn't advance the list pointer once all seven slots are used, so the
next continuation entry (if there is one) wrongly begins again at the
start of the sg list.
Fix by advancing the sg pointer after the for_each_sg().

kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single stepping
On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.
First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.
On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core. The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.
