[MTD] [NAND] remove len/ooblen confusion.
As was discussed between Ricard Wanderlöf, David Woodhouse, Artem
Bityutskiy and me, the current API for reading/writing OOB is confusing.
The thing that introduces confusion is the need to specify ops.len
together with ops.ooblen for reads/writes that concern only OOB not data
area. So, ops.len is overloaded: when ops.datbuf != NULL it serves to
specify the length of the data read, and when ops.datbuf == NULL, it
serves to specify the full OOB read length.
The patch inlined below is the slightly updated version of the previous
patch serving the same purpose, but with the new Artem's comments taken
into account.
Artem, BTW, thanks a lot for your valuable input!

[MTD] NAND: Fix nand_default_mark_blockbad() when flash-based BBT disabled
When a flash-based BBT is not used, nand_default_mark_blockbad() is supposed
to mark the block bad in the oob. However, it sets the wrong length variable
so that no bad block marker is in fact written. This patch attempts to
rectify that.
(As note, it seems to be that logically, it shouldn't be necessary to set
both length variables, as one appears to be for the main buffer, and
one for the oob buffer, but this is how it is done in several places,
including the code for the mtd character device MEMWRITEOOB and MEMREADOOB
ioctls. I'm not sure if this is a temporary solution during some rework of
the mtd infrastructure, or whether there is a deeper thought here.)

The bits are 6 and 7. If both bits are set, it is a 5MiB window. If only

[PATCH] knfsd: fix race that can disable NFS server
This patch is suitable for just about any 2.6 kernel. It should go in
2.6.19 and 2.6.18.2 and possible even the .17 and .16 stable series.
This is a long standing bug that seems to have only recently become
apparent, presumably due to increasing use of NFS over TCP - many
distros seem to be making it the default.
The SK_CONN bit gets set when a listening socket may be ready
for an accept, just as SK_DATA is set when data may be available.
It is entirely possible for svc_tcp_accept to be called with neither
of these set. It doesn't happen often but there is a small race in
svc_sock_enqueue as SK_CONN and SK_DATA are tested outside the
spin_lock. They could be cleared immediately after the test and
before the lock is gained.
This normally shouldn't be a problem. The sockets are non-blocking so
trying to read() or accept() when ther is nothing to do is not a problem.
However: svc_tcp_recvfrom makes the decision "Should I accept() or
should I read()" based on whether SK_CONN is set or not. This usually
works but is not safe. The decision should be based on whether it is
a TCP_LISTEN socket or a TCP_CONNECTED socket.

[PATCH] SUNRPC: fix race in in-kernel RPC portmapper client
When submitting a request to a fast portmapper (such as the local rpcbind
daemon), the request can complete before the parent task is even queued up on
xprt->binding. Fix this by queuing before submitting the rpcbind request.
Test plan:
Connectathon locking test with UDP.

[PATCH] NFS: Deal with failure of invalidate_inode_pages2()
If invalidate_inode_pages2() fails, then it should in principle just be
because the current process was signalled. In that case, we just want to
ensure that the inode's page cache remains marked as invalid.
Also add a helper to allow the O_DIRECT code to simply mark the page cache as
invalid once it is finished writing, instead of calling
invalidate_inode_pages2() itself.

[PATCH] NFS: Fix NFSv4 callback regression
The change in semantics for nfs_find_client() introduced by David breaks the
NFSv4 callback channel.
Also, replace another completely broken BUG_ON() in nfs_find_client(). In
initialised clients, clp->cl_cons_state == 0, and callers of that function
should in any case never want to see clients that are uninitialised.

[PATCH] NFS: Fix oops in nfs_cancel_commit_list
Fix two bugs:
- nfs_inode_remove_request will call nfs_clear_request, so we cannot
reference req->wb_page after it. Move the call to dec_zone_page_state so
that it occurs while req->wb_page is still valid.
- Calling nfs_clear_page_writeback is unnecessary since the radix tree
tags will have been cleared by the call to nfs_inode_remove_request.
Replace with a simple call to nfs_unlock_request.

[PATCH] autofs3: Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super()
Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super()
so that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy
the dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true.
What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the
kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_anon_super().
The call to shrink_dcache_sb() is removed as it is redundant since
shrink_dcache_for_umount() will now be called after the cleanup routine.

I wrote a patch to avoid redundant memory hot-add call at boot time. This
was cause of strange fail message of memory hotplug like "ACPI: add_memory
failed". Memory is recognized by early boot code with EFI/E820.
But, if DSDT describes memory devices for them, then hot-add code is called
for already recognized memory, and it shows fail messages with -EEXIST.
So, sys admin will misunderstand this message as something wrong by it.
This patch avoids them by preventing redundant hot-add call until
completion of driver initialization.

[PATCH] fix "ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAIT"
This patch breaks C-state discovery on my IBM IntelliStation Z30 because
the return value of acpi_processor_get_power_info_fadt is not assigned to
"result" in the case that acpi_processor_get_power_info_cst returns
-ENODEV. Thus, if ACPI provides C-state data via the FADT and not _CST (as
is the case on this machine), we incorrectly exit the function with -ENODEV
after reading the FADT. The attached patch sets the value of result so
that we don't exit early.

When enabling the mmapper driver I got warnings because this "const"
miscdevice structure is passed to function as non-const pointer; unlike struct
tty_operations, however, I verified that misc_{de,}register _do_ modify their
parameter, so this const attribute must be removed.
Since the purpose of the change was to guarantee that no lock was needed, add
a comment to prove this differently.
