We have seen ramdisk based install systems, where some pages of mapped
libraries and programs were suddendly zeroed under memory pressure. This
should not happen, as the ramdisk avoids freeing its pages by keeping
them dirty all the time.
It turns out that there is a case, where the VM makes a ramdisk page
clean, without telling the ramdisk driver. On memory pressure
shrink_zone runs and it starts to run shrink_active_list. There is a
check for buffer_heads_over_limit, and if true, pagevec_strip is called.
pagevec_strip calls try_to_release_page. If the mapping has no
releasepage callback, try_to_free_buffers is called. try_to_free_buffers
has now a special logic for some file systems to make a dirty page
clean, if all buffers are clean. Thats what happened in our test case.
The simplest solution is to provide a noop-releasepage callback for the
ramdisk driver. This avoids try_to_free_buffers for ramdisk pages.

ipw2200 makes extensive use of background scanning when unassociated or
down. Unfortunately, the firmware sends scan completed events many
times per second, which the driver pushes directly up to userspace.
This needlessly wakes up processes listening for wireless events many
times per second. Batch together scan completed events for
non-user-requested scans and send them up to userspace every 4 seconds.
Scan completed events resulting from an SIOCSIWSCAN call are pushed up

Improve the debuggability of kernel lockups by enhancing the debug
output of the softlockup detector: print the task that causes the lockup
and try to print a more intelligent backtrace.
Note that in the old format we only knew that some system call locked
up, we didnt know _which_. With the new format we know that it's at a
specific place in sys_prctl(). [which was where i created an artificial
kernel lockup to test the new format.]
This is also useful if the lockup happens in user-space - the user-space
EIP (and other registers) will be printed too. (such a lockup would
either suggest that the task was running at SCHED_FIFO:99 and looping
for more than 10 seconds, or that the softlockup detector has a
false-positive.)
The task name is printed too first, just in case we dont manage to print
a useful backtrace.
x86: fix freeze in x86_64 RTC update code in time_64.c
Fix hard freeze on x86_64 when the ntpd service calls
update_persistent_clock()
A repeatable but randomly timed freeze has been happening in Fedora 6
and 7 for the last year, whenever I run the ntpd service on my AMD64x2
HP Pavilion dv9000z laptop. This freeze is due to the use of
spin_lock(&rtc_lock) under the assumption (per a bad comment) that
set_rtc_mmss is called only with interrupts disabled. The call from
ntp.c to update_persistent_clock is made with interrupts enabled.

Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC)
clock when synced to NTP to behave erratically.
When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I
run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the
sync_cmos_clock procedure. I discovered that it was not syncing to
cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying
every second for hours at a time. The reason turned out to be a typo
in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that
update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1
second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to
"xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime"
but not equal to it. This makes the test erratic, creating a
"coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when
it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one
second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is
needlessly incorrect, too.

AK: changed to 32bit move because it's strictly an int
This patch fixes a bug of change_page_attr/change_page_attr_addr on
Intel x86_64 CPUs. After changing page attribute to be executable with
these functions, the page remains un-executable on Intel x86_64 CPU.
Because on Intel x86_64 CPU, only if the "NX" bits of all four level
page tables are cleared, the corresponding page is executable (refer to
section 4.13.2 of Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's
Manual). So, the bug is fixed through clearing the "NX" bit of PMD when
splitting the huge PMD.
Some gcc versions (I checked at least 4.1.1 from RHEL5 & 4.1.2 from gentoo)
can generate incorrect code with read_crX()/write_crX() functions mix up,
due to cached results of read_crX().
The small app for x8664 below compiled with -O2 demonstrates this
(i686 does the same thing):
One more of these issues (which were considered fixed a few releases
back): other than on x86-64, i386 allows set_fixmap() to replace
already present mappings. Consequently, on PAE, care must be taken to
not update the high half of a pte while the low half is still holding
the old value.

The problem code has been removed in 2.6.24. The below patch disables

Fix a longstanding race in the Ethernet gadget driver, which can cause an
oops on device disconnect. The fix is just to make the TX path check
whether its freelist is empty. That check is otherwise not necessary,
since the queue is always stopped when that list empties (and restarted
when request completion puts an entry back on that freelist).
The race window starts when the network code decides to transmit a packet,
and ends when hard_start_xmit() grabs the freelist lock. When disconnect()
is called inside that window, it shuts down the TX queue and breaks the
otherwise-solid assumption that packets are never sent through a TX queue
that's stopped.

userspace worry about which devices can safely be suspended. Thus the
lengthy series of quirk entries is no longer needed, and neither is
the quirk ID. I suppose someone might eventually run across a hub
that can't be suspended; let's ignore the possibility for now.
The patch also cleans up the hasty way in which autosuspend gets
disabled. Setting udev->autosuspend_delay to -1 wasn't quite right,
because the value is always supposed to be a multiple of HZ. It's
better to leave the delay value alone and set autosuspend_disabled,

This patch fixes a bd_mount_sem counter corruption bug in device-mapper.
thaw_bdev() should be called only when freeze_bdev() was called for the

Otherwise, thaw_bdev() will up bd_mount_sem and corrupt the semaphore counter.
struct block_device with the corrupted semaphore may remain in slab cache
and be reused later.
Attached patch will fix it by calling unlock_fs() instead.
unlock_fs() will determine whether it should call thaw_bdev()
by checking the device is frozen or not.

#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]; do
dmsetup --notable create a
dmsetup --nolockfs suspend a
dmsetup remove a
done

Incorrect semaphore count = 17 (f2ab91c0)
With the patch, the message didn't appear.
The bug was introduced in 2.6.16 with this bug fix:
Need to unfreeze and release bdev otherwise the bdev inode with
inconsistent state is reused later and cause problem.
and backported to 2.6.15.5.
It occurs only in free_dev(), which is called only when the dm device is
removed. The buggy code is executed only if md->suspended_bdev is
non-NULL and that can happen only when the device was suspended without
noflush.
The number of mixer elements for SPDIF control don't match with the
actual array size (3). This may result in a memory corruption that
overwrites the i2c_capture_source field (ALSA bug#3095).
[ALSA] fix selector unit bug affecting some USB speakerphones
Following the suggestion in this thread:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-lib/+bug/26683
the correct upper bound on desc[0] is 5 + num_ins not 6 + num_ins,
because the index used later is 5+i, not 6+i.
This change makes my Vosky Chatterbox speakerphone work.
Apparently it also helps with the Minivox MV100.
[ALSA] hda-codec - Avoid zero NID in line_out_pins[] of STAC codecs
The STAC codes adds line_out_pins[] for shared mic/line-inputs accordingly.
But, the current code may give a hole with NID=0 in some setting, which
results in an error at probe. This patch fixes the problem.
Firmware commands are sent to the HCA by writing multiple words to a
command register block. Access to this block of registers is
serialized with a mutex. However, on large SGI systems, problems were
seen with multiple CPUs issuing FW commands at the same time, because
the writes to the register block may be reordered within the system
interconnect and reach the HCA in a different order than they were
issued (even with the mutex). Fix this by adding an mmiowb() before
dropping the mutex.

Commit 9ead190b ("IB/uverbs: Don't serialize with ib_uverbs_idr_mutex")
rewrote how userspace objects are looked up in the uverbs module's
idrs, and introduced a severe bug in the process: there is no checking
that an operation is being performed by the right process any more.
Fix this by adding the missing check of uobj->context in __idr_get_uobj().
Apparently everyone is being very careful to only touch their own
objects, because this bug was introduced in June 2006 in 2.6.18, and
has gone undetected until now.

The bank switching code assumes that the bank selector is set to 0
when the driver is loaded. This might not be the case. This is exactly
the same bug as was fixed in the w83627ehf driver two months ago:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0956895aa6f8dc6a33210967252fd7787652537d
In practice, this bug was causing the sensor thermal types to be
improperly reported for my W83627THF the first time I was loading the
w83627hf driver. From the driver history, I'd say that it has been
broken since September 2005 (when we stopped resetting the chip by
default at driver load.)

Touching some of these causes machine check exceptions on boards

[PPP]: L2TP: Fix oops in transmit and receive paths
Changes made on 18-sep to fix skb handling in the pppol2tp driver
broke the transmit and receive paths. Users are only running into this
now because distros are now using 2.6.23 and I must have messed up
when I tested the change.
For receive, we now do our own calculation of how much to pull from
the skb (variable length L2TP header) rather than using
skb_transport_offset(). Also, if the skb isn't a data packet, it must
be passed back to UDP with skb->data pointing to the UDP header.
For transmit, make sure skb->sk is set up because ip_queue_xmit()
needs it.

In making that change, the PCI latency timer and cache line size

pci_enable_msi() replaces the INTx irq number in pci_dev->irq with the
new MSI irq number.
The forcedeth driver did not update the copy in netdevice->irq and
parts of the driver used the stale copy.
See bugzilla.kernel.org, bug 9047.
The patch
- updates netdevice->irq
- replaces all accesses to netdevice->irq with pci_dev->irq.
The patch is against 2.6.23.1. IMHO suitable for both 2.6.23 and 2.6.24
The current eHEA module compiled for 64K page kernels can not
