[PATCH] fuse: fix bitfield race
Fix race in setting bitfields of fuse_conn. Spotted by Andrew Morton.
The two fields ->connected and ->mounted were always changed with the
fuse_lock held. But other bitfields in the same structure were changed
without the lock. In theory this could lead to losing the assignment of
even the ones under lock. The chosen solution is to change these two
fields to be a full unsigned type. The other bitfields aren't "important"
enough to warrant the extra complexity of full locking or changing them to
bitops.
For all bitfields document why they are safe wrt. concurrent
assignments.
Also make the initialization of the 'num_waiting' atomic counter explicit.

With the introduction of asynchronous reads, the ability to interrupt any

The solution is to make it possible to abort all requests, even those

'mount -f mountpoint', but that only works as long as the filesystem is
attached. So also add an 'abort' attribute to the sysfs view of the

Seems that the CS5530A chip used in Geode GX1 systems has some crazy feature
that causes SMI traps when accessing the PCI configuration space of the video

of the device. This patch disables these traps (in an early PCI fixup) so
that Linux sees the real, physical BARs and not the virtual ones provided by
the BIOS.
This should allow the GX1 framebuffer driver to work on more systems that have
different BIOSes as the driver no longer guesses at what the virtual BARs
mean.
I'm not entirely sure it the correct solution as I can neither test regular
VGA console nor the X's 'cyrix' video driver so there might be some breakage
there -- probably best to get some more testers before applying it.

On a Dell Latitude CPi-A I noticed a strangeness wrt. the handling of an

A cold boot would result in the BIOS configuring the video chip to use the
"external monitor only" mode, yet neofb would default to "internal LCD only".
An attempt for a quick fix by using the Fn-F8 keystroke to toggle the display
combination modes resulted in a reproductible hard lock, powering down being
the only solution.
The attached patch makes neofb probe the register for the current display
mode, using that value as a default if nothing was specified as kernel/module
parameter.
