[PATCH] libata: fix combined mode
This is a slight variant on the patch I posted December 16th to fix

correctly also reserve BAR1,2,4. That is basically a neatness issue.
Jeff was unhappy about two things
1. That it didn't work in the case of one channel native one channel
legacy.
This is a silly complaint because the SFF layer in libata doesn't handle
this case yet anyway.
2. The case where combined mode is in use and IDE=n.
In this case the libata quirk code reserves the resources in question
correctly already.
Once the combined mode stuff is redone properly (2.6.21) then the entire
mess turns into a single pci_request_regions() for all cases and all the
ugly resource hackery goes away.
I'm sending this now rather than after running full test suites so that
it can get the maximal testing in a short time. I'll be running tests on
this after lunch.

Some issues were recently turned up with the current specification of what
it means for spi_transfer.tx_buf to be null, as part of transfers which are
(from the SPI protocol driver perspective) pure reads.
Specifically, that it seems better to change the TX behaviour there from
"undefined" to "will shift zeroes". This lets protocol drivers (like the
ads7846 driver) depend on that behavior. It's what most controller drivers
in the tree are already doing (with one exception and one case of driver
wanting-to-oops), it's what Microwire hardware will necessarily be doing,
and it removes an issue whereby certain security audits would need to
define such a value anyway as part of removing covert channels.

[PATCH] sched: fix cond_resched_softirq() offset
Remove the __resched_legal() check: it is conceptually broken. The biggest
problem it had is that it can mask buggy cond_resched() calls. A
cond_resched() call is only legal if we are not in an atomic context, with
two narrow exceptions:
- if the system is booting
- a reacquire_kernel_lock() down() done while PREEMPT_ACTIVE is set
But __resched_legal() hid this and just silently returned whenever
these primitives were called from invalid contexts. (Same goes for
cond_resched_locked() and cond_resched_softirq()).
Furthermore, the __legal_resched(0) call was buggy in that it caused
unnecessarily long softirq latencies via cond_resched_softirq(). (which is
only called from softirq-off sections, hence the code did nothing.)
The fix is to resurrect the efficiency of the might_sleep checks and to
only allow the narrow exceptions.

constrained_alloc(), which is called to detect where oom is from, checks
passed zone_list(). If zone_list doesn't include all nodes, it thinks oom
is from mempolicy.
But there is memory-less-node. memory-less-node's zones are never included
in zonelist[].
contstrained_alloc() should get memory_less_node into count. Otherwise, it
always thinks 'oom is from mempolicy'. This means that current process
dies at any time. This patch fix it.

[PATCH] change WARN_ON back to "BUG: at ..."
WARN_ON() ever triggering is a kernel bug. Do not try to paper over this
fact by suggesting to the user that this is 'only' a warning, as the

[PATCH] Fix lock inversion aio_kick_handler()
lockdep found a AB BC CA lock inversion in retry-based AIO:
1) The task struct's alloc_lock (A) is acquired in process context with
interrupts enabled. An interrupt might arrive and call wake_up() which
grabs the wait queue's q->lock (B).
2) When performing retry-based AIO the AIO core registers
aio_wake_function() as the wake funtion for iocb->ki_wait. It is called
with the wait queue's q->lock (B) held and then tries to add the iocb to
the run list after acquiring the ctx_lock (C).
3) aio_kick_handler() holds the ctx_lock (C) while acquiring the
alloc_lock (A) via lock_task() and unuse_mm(). Lockdep emits a warning
saying that we're trying to connect the irq-safe q->lock to the
irq-unsafe alloc_lock via ctx_lock.
This fixes the inversion by calling unuse_mm() in the AIO kick handing path
after we've released the ctx_lock. As Ben LaHaise pointed out __put_ioctx
could set ctx->mm to NULL, so we must only access ctx->mm while we have the
lock.

[PATCH] Fix IPMI watchdog set_param_str() using kstrdup
set_param_str() cannot use kstrdup() to duplicate the parameter. That's
fine when the driver is compiled as a module but it sure is not when built
into the kernel as the kernel parameters are parsed before the kmalloc
slabs are setup.

[ARM] 4077/1: iop13xx: fix __io() macro
Since iop13xx defines the PCI I/O spaces with physical resource addresses
the __io macro needs to perform the physical to virtual conversion. I
incorrectly assumed that this would be handled by ioremap, but drivers
(like e1000) directly dereference the address returned from __io.

[ARM] 4074/1: Flat loader stack alignment
The ARM EABI requires doubleword (8-byte) stack alignment at all public entry
points. The patch below makes the bFLT loader honour this.
It's always safe to start with a doubleword aligned stack so it doesn't seem
worth making this conditional on CONFIG_AEABI.
