[PATCH] Fix vma corruption
It occurred to me that if vma and new_vma are one and the same, then
vma_relink_file will not do a good job of linking it after itself - in
that pretty unlikely case when move_page_tables fails.
And more generally, whenever copy_vma's vma_merge succeeds, we have no
guarantee that old vma comes before new_vma in the i_mmap lists, as we
need to satisfy Rajesh's point: that ordering is only guaranteed in the
newly allocated case.
We have to abandon the ordering method when/if we move from lists to
prio_trees, so this patch switches to the less glamorous use of
i_shared_sem exclusion, as in my prio_tree mremap.

[PATCH] ARM-related ptep_to_address() fix
From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>
rmk mentioned that ARM was borked as the relation, assumed by generic rmap,
PTRS_PER_PTE*sizeof(pte_t) == PAGE_SIZE, fails to hold. The following
patch, developed jointly with him (or depending on POV, by him with me
acting as codemonkey), is reported to resolve the issue.
Specifically, while ARM dedicates an entire PAGE_SIZE -sized block of
memory to each PTE table, the PTE table itself only spans half that, the
remainder being dedicated to hardware-interpreted structures. As the
hardware structure must be contiguous, wider ptes can't be used. So the
core-visible PTE table only spans PAGE_SIZE/2 bytes, violating the
assumption. This corrects masking and scaling done in ptep_to_address().

[PATCH] mqueue permission fix
From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
Any user can delete any entries in a mqueue mounted filesystem. The attached

- remove the writable test from mq_unlink.
- set the sticky bit in the root inode. This affects both mq_unlink and
sys_unlink: only the owner (and root) should be allowed to remove queues.

[PATCH] Fix bogus get_page() calls in hugepage code
From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Some versions of follow_huge_addr() and follow_huge_pmd() are doing a
get_page() on the target page. They shouldn't: follow_page() returns an
unpinned page and it is the caller's responsibility to pin the page (if
desired) before dropping page_table_lock.

[PATCH] reiserfs: fsync() speedup
From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>
Updates the reiserfs-logging improvements to use schedule_timeout instead of
yield when letting the transaction grow a little before forcing a commit for
fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT.
Also, when one process forces a transaction to end and plans on doing the
commit (like fsync), it sets a flag on the transaction so the journal code
knows not to bother kicking the journal work queue.
queue_delayed_work is used so that if we get a bunch of tiny transactions
ended quickly, we aren't constantly kicking the work queue.
These significantly improve reiserfs performance during fsync heavy
workloads.

From: Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk>

normally read from the journal; this patch adds an extra variable to cache

[PATCH] kill submit_{bh,bio} return value
From: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

[PCMCIA] Conversion to module_param
Patch from: Pavel Roskin
As it turns out, mixing MODULE_PARM and module_param in one module is
wrong. The parameters specified in module_param are ignored. I've just
posted a patch to LKML that will detect this condition and warn about it.
The new debugging code used the new-style module_param, which means that
all instances of MODULE_PARM should be converted. The attached patch does
that.
An additional bonus is that module_param_array provides the number of
array elements. This allowed me to change tcic.c and i82365.c to use
this number for IRQ list. This change was tested with i82365. If
"irq_list" is not specified, irq_list_count is 0.
I set all permissions to 0444 to be safe. I think we have no secrets
from the users regarding those parameters. If some parameters can be
changed safely at the runtime, the permissions could be changed to 0644.
I didn't examine how safe (and how useful) it would be, so it's 0444 for
now.

[ARM] Add --no-undefined to linker command line.
Many binutils versions over the last year appear to silently build

create executables from such files. The assembler appears to add

relocation information. Obviously this is bad news since the
resulting executable may not be what the programmer intended.
Work around the problem by forcing the linker to fail if there are
any undefined symbols in the final object(s).

[PATCH] ppc64: always initialise dn->type and dn->name
This fix comes from ppc32. Always initialise dn->type and dn->name so
that code doesnt have to check for NULL everywhere. There is at least
one bug report where we oopsed because of this.

[PATCH] ppc64: catch branch to 0 in real mode
We have been debugging some strange fails where we branch to 0 in real
mode. At the moment this results in the cpu running through the
initialisation code and failing somewhere well into it.
The following patch uses the featuring nop'ing code to remove the branch
at real address 0 so it falls through to a trap instruction and gets
caught early.

[PATCH] NMI watchdog Pentium M support
This adda nmi_watchdog=2 support to the Pentium M processor. The P-M is
a P6 chip, but it shares some chipset logic with the Pentium 4, so it
requires this workaround to function.
Without this patch, NMI gets stuck after 1 count. With it, the NMI
fires and breaks me out of UHCI-related hard lockups.
This patch is basically a modified version of the same patch for
oprofile. See the threaded discussion here:

[PATCH] fix non-PC subarchs which were broken by i386 probe_roms change
The author apparently didn't understand that only the mach-default
include directory is included by fallback for header files only. You
can't stick a .c file in mach-default and expect all subarchs to be able
to use it.
The correct fix is to put std_resources.c in the kernel directory and
give it its own Kconfig symbol for conditional compile so that subarchs
may choose to include it or not.

[PATCH] USB: Fix vicam debug compile, fix user access

[PATCH] fix 4k irqstacks on x86 (and add voyager support)
There's a bug in the x86 code in that it sets the boot CPU to zero.
This isn't correct since some subarch's use physically indexed CPUs.
However, subarchs have either set the boot cpu before irq_INIT() (or
just inherited the default zero from INIT_THREAD_INFO()), so it's safe
to believe current_thread_info()->cpu about the boot cpu.

[PATCH] ppc64: update g5_defconfig
This adds IOMMU support & IOMU virtual merging to the default g5 config.
This will not impair performances of machines that don't need the iommu
(the kernel will only enable it if you have more than 2Gb of RAM, though
you can explicitely enable it using a command line argument).

[PATCH] ppc64: Fix possible duplicate MMU hash entries
The current code has a subtle race where 2 hash PTEs can be inserted
for the same virtual address for a short period of time. There should
not be a stale one as the "old" one ultimately gets flushed, but the
architecture specifies that having two hash PTE is illegal and can
result in undefined behaviour.
This patch fixes it by never clearing the _PAGE_HASHPTE bit when
doing test_and_clear_{young,dirty}. That means that subsequent faults
on those pages will have a bit more overhead to "discover" that the
hash entry was indeed evicted.
It also adds a small optisation to avoid doing the atomic operation
and the hash flush in test_and_clear_dirty when the page isn't dirty
or when setting write protect while it's already set.

[PATCH] ext3: journalled quotas
From: Jan Kara <jack@ucw.cz>
Journalled quota support for ext3: The patch consists of two parts - ext3
changes and changes in generic quota code. The main idea of the changes is
that a transaction is always started before any operation which changes quota
file and dirtifying of the quota causes its write to disk. These two changes
assure that quota change is journalled into the same transaction as the file
change and hence after journal replay quota is consistent with the filesystem
state. As during journal replay inodes from orphan list are deleted/truncated
we have to do quota_on before the replay of the orphan list - this problem is
solved by additional mount options to ext3 with quota file names and format.
Some changes in generic code were also needed to assure that quota structure
in file is always allocated and so ordinary quota operations (like
adding/deleting a block/inode) need only a few blocks from the transaction.

[PATCH] mq_open() and close_on_exec
From: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>
SUSv3 doesn't seem to specify one way or the other. I don't have the POSIX
specs, and the old docs I have suggest that mq_open() creates an object
which is to be closed upon exec.
Jakub said:
I think it is valid and required:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/exec.html
All open message queue descriptors in the calling process shall be
closed, as described in mq_close()
I'll add a new test for this into glibc testsuite.

[PATCH] Fix mq_notify with SIGEV_NONE notification
From: Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>
mq_notify (q, NULL)
and
struct sigevent ev = { .sigev_notify = SIGEV_NONE };
mq_notify (q, &ev)
are not the same thing in POSIX, yet the kernel treats them the same. Only
the former makes the notification available to other processes immediately,
see
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/mq_notify.html
Without the patch below,
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2004-04/msg00028.html
glibc test fails.
I looked at mq in Solaris and they behave the same in this regard as Linux
with this patch. Kernel with this patch passes both Intel POSIX testsuite
(with testsuite fixes from Ulrich) and glibc mq testsuite.
