is only ever called at init time, and then kthreadd() proceeds into its

with just one callsite and 4 lines in it (it's been that small since 10ab825bdef8df51) doesn't need to be a separate function at all -- so let's

VFS: fix a race in lease-breaking during truncate
It is possible that another process could acquire a new file lease right
after break_lease() is called during a truncate, but before lease-granting
is disabled by the subsequent get_write_access(). Merely switching the
order of the break_lease() and get_write_access() calls prevents this race.

This is only called at init time and only happens if the BIOS screws
something up, so the leak is slight and it is probably not worth sending to
2.6.22.x. The driver would not initialize the interface in the case, and I
have no reports of this happening. I have booted and run tests on a system
with this patch. Note that the original patch was munged by the mailer,
here's a new one.
If we ever hit the "default:" case in the switch in try_init_dmi(),
then we'll leak the storage allocated with kzalloc() and assigned
to 'info'.

It turned out that mounting a corrupted ISO image to a regular file may
succeed, e.g. if an image was prepared as follows:
$ dd if=correct.iso of=bad.iso bs=4k count=8
We then can mount it to a regular file:
# mount -o loop -t iso9660 bad.iso /tmp/file
But mounting it to a directory fails with -ENOTDIR, simply because
the root directory inode doesn't have S_IFDIR set and the condition
in graft_tree() is met:
if (S_ISDIR(nd->dentry->d_inode->i_mode) !=
S_ISDIR(mnt->mnt_root->d_inode->i_mode))
return -ENOTDIR
This is because the root directory inode was read from an incorrect
block. It's supposed to be read from sbi->s_firstdatazone, which is
an absolute value and gets messed up in the case of an incorrect image.
In order to somehow circumvent this we have to check that the root
directory inode is actually a directory after all.

This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of
breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS."
It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO. Serial ports are something
that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game. My new Intel
platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of
messing with serial port probing even more... because... just wait a year,
and your box won't have a serial port either! :)
I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver),
but the probe change seems questionable. That's sorta analagous to
rewriting the floppy driver probe routine. Sure you could do it... but why
risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again?
It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for
something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade.
Much discussion ensued and we've decided to have another go at all of this.
Remove unused TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag for all processor architectures. The
flag was not used excecpt on IA-64 where the patch replaces it with

One instance of paging_init() was declared __init but not the other one -
used by defconfig. Fixed by declaring the second instance ___init too.

knfsd: eliminate unnecessary -ENOENT returns on export downcalls
A succesful downcall with a negative result (which indicates that the given
filesystem is not exported to the given user) should not return an error.
Currently mountd is depending on stdio to write these downcalls. With some
versions of libc this appears to cause subsequent writes to attempt to write
all accumulated data (for which writes previously failed) along with any new
data. This can prevent the kernel from seeing responses to later downcalls.
Symptoms will be that nfsd fails to respond to certain requests.

knfsd: set the response bitmask for NFS4_CREATE_EXCLUSIVE
RFC 3530 says:
If the server uses an attribute to store the exclusive create verifier, it
will signify which attribute by setting the appropriate bit in the attribute
mask that is returned in the results.
Linux uses the atime and mtime to store the verifier, but sends a zeroed out
bitmask back to the client. This patch makes sure that we set the correct
bits in the bitmask in this situation.

fbcon: Fix typo and bogus logic in get_default_font
Reported in: Bugzilla Bug 8727
Fix typo and bogus logic in get_default_font(). The bug results in
get_default_font() returning a font that may not be displayed properly by a
framebuffer driver.
Since the commit 4f640efb3170dbcf99a37a3cc99060647b95428c, "%lx" is not
suitable for p->mapbase (resource_size_t) in 32-bit. This patch fixes a
compiler warning caused by the mismatch.
Do not trigger OOM-killer for high-order allocation failures
out_of_memory() may be called when an allocation is failing and the direct
reclaim is not making any progress. This does not take into account the
requested order of the allocation. If the request if for an order larger
than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER, it is reasonable to fail the allocation
because the kernel makes no guarantees about those allocations succeeding.
This false OOM situation can occur if a user is trying to grow the hugepage
pool in a script like;
#!/bin/bash
REQUIRED=$1
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/hugepages_treat_as_movable
echo $REQUIRED > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
ACTUAL=`cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages`
while [ $REQUIRED -ne $ACTUAL ]; do
echo Huge page pool at $ACTUAL growing to $REQUIRED
echo $REQUIRED > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
ACTUAL=`cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages`
sleep 1
done
This is a reasonable scenario when ZONE_MOVABLE is in use but triggers OOM
easily on 2.6.23-rc1. This patch will fail an allocation for an order above
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER instead of killing processes and retrying.
