gamma_dma_priority and gamma_dma_send_buffers both deref d->send_indices
and/or d->send_sizes. When these functions are called from gamma_dma,
these pointers are user pointers and are thus not safe to deref. This patch
copies over the pointers inside gamma_dma_priority and
gamma_dma_send_buffers.

[PATCH] fix ide-cd racy completions
This bug took forever to debug (just ask Ben :-).
When we move the completion event from the failed request to the sense
request, we risk either the initial complete and then later complete on
a long gone ->waiting. I think this business of moving the completion
structure to the request sense is a bit bogus and always has been, and
the bug is fixed nicely by just rewriting this logic a bit. So instead
we simply unconditionally dequeue the failed request (regardless of
whether it was REQ_PC or REQ_BLOCK_PC), and pass a reference to it in
the sense request. When the sense completes, we call end io on the
originally failed request (which does the complete() etc).

NTFS: 2.1.14 - Fix an NFSd caused deadlock reported by several users.
- Modify fs/ntfs/ntfs_readdir() to copy the index root attribute value
to a buffer so that we can put the search context and unmap the mft
record before calling the filldir() callback. We need to do this
because of NFSd which calls ->lookup() from its filldir callback()
and this causes NTFS to deadlock as ntfs_lookup() maps the mft record
of the directory and since ntfs_readdir() has got it mapped already
ntfs_lookup() deadlocks.

The recent change to vga16fb's memory mapping that you partially reverted

[PATCH] fix uts sysctl write size
From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org>
The sysctl interfaces for updating the uts entries such as hostname and

[PATCH] s390: add support for 6 system call arguments (FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE)
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
This patch adds support for 6 system call arguments on s390. The first
exploiter of this will be the sys_futex system call for the
FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE operation. The idea is simple: use register %r7 for the
6th argument. This can be extended to 7/8/9/... arguments if there ever
will be the need for it. To call the system call function in the kernel
the additional arguments needs to get stored on the stack. 8 bytes are
added to the head of struct pt_regs. %r7 is stored to the additional field
for all system calls. The store is hidden in a
address-generation-interlock slot, it doesn't slow down the system call
path.

[PATCH] jbd: descriptor buffer state fix
Fix a problem discovered by Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>, based on an initial
patch from Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>.
journal_get_descriptor_buffer() is used to obtain a regular old buffer_head
against the blockdev mapping. The caller will populate that bh by hand and
will then submit it for writing.
But there are problems:
a) The function sets bh->b_state nonatomically. But this buffer is
accessible to other CPUs via pagecache lookup.
b) The function sets the buffer dirty and then the caller populates it and
then it is submitted for I/O. Wrong order: there's a window in which the
VM could write the buffer before it is fully populated.
c) The function fails to set the buffer uptodate after zeroing it. And one
caller forgot to mark it uptodate as well. So if the VM happens to decide
to write the containing page back __block_write_full_page() encounters a
dirty, not uptodate buffer, which is an illegal state. This was generating
buffer_error() warnings before we removed buffer_error().
Leaving the buffer not uptodate also means that a concurrent reader of
/dev/hda1 could cause physical I/O against the buffer, scribbling on what
we just put in it.
So journal_get_descriptor_buffer() is changed to mark the buffer
uptodate, under the buffer lock.
I considered changing journal_get_descriptor_buffer() to return a locked
buffer but there doesn't seem to be a need for this, and both callers end up
using ll_rw_block() anyway, which requires that the buffer be unlocked again.
Note that the journal_get_descriptor_buffer() callers dirty these buffers with
set_buffer_dirty(). That's a bit naughty, because it could create dirty
buffers against a clean page - an illegal state. They really should use
mark_buffer_dirty() to dirty the page and inode as well. But all callers will
immediately write and clean the buffer anyway, so we can safely leave this
optimising cheat in place.

Adrian Bunk noticed that the tda1004x DVB frontend driver was broken and
sent a small patch that at least made the driver work again.
There was a discussion afterwards about the kernel syscall interface,
but at the end, the tda1004x DVB frontend driver is still non-functional.
This re-applies the temporary band-aid.

[PATCH] epic100 fixes
"Gee it works better if you turn the chip on before programming it"
The ioctl to ethtool change broke that little detail...
I made the changes, Jeff agreed in principle, Red Hat owns them and I know
no reason they can't be contributed under the GPL v2 or later.
Requires: ethtool change

[PATCH] ethtool power manglement hooks
Several ethernet drivers have been broken by the ethtool support because
the ioctl code used to power the interface up and down as needed. Rather
than add this to each driver call Jeff Garzik suggested we add hooks
for before/after ethtool processing.
This patch implements them which makes fixing the PM stuff easier,
as the epic100 patch to follow will show. It also cleans up the
via-velocity driver pm/ethtool logic a great deal. As per Jeff's
request the before handler is allowed to fail the operation.

[PATCH] Make paca xCurrent field be a pointer
The paca struct contains a pointer to the current task, which is used
for the `current' macro. For some reason, this field is a u64, and
every time we use it we need a cast, because it is really a pointer.
This patch cleans things up a little by making it a pointer to struct
task_struct and removing the casts. It also removes a now-incorrect
comment which said that r13 contains current (it now holds
&paca[smp_processor_id()]).

[PATCH] Single-stepping emulated instructions
Occasionally the ppc64 kernel emulates a usermode instruction, for
example in the alignment exception handler. Kumar Gala pointed out
(in the context of the ppc32 kernel) that if the instruction was being
single-stepped, and we end up emulating the instruction, we should
then send the process a SIGTRAP as if it had not been emulated and the
process had then taken a single-step exception. This patch implements
this for ppc64.

The dev->devname being passed to request_irq in drm_irq.h is null.
With the old DRM interface, the devname was set in DRM(setunique),
but with the current DRM interface >=1.1 the devname is not being

NTFS: 2.1.13 - Enable overwriting of resident files and housekeeping of system files.
- Mark the volume dirty when (re)mounting read-write and mark it clean
when unmounting or remounting read-only. If any volume errors are
found, the volume is left marked dirty to force chkdsk to run.
- Add code to set the NT4 compatibility flag when (re)mounting
read-write for newer NTFS versions but leave it commented out for now
since we do not make any modifications that are NTFS 1.2 specific yet
and since setting this flag breaks Captive-NTFS which is not nice.
This code must be enabled once we start writing NTFS 1.2 specific
changes otherwise Windows NTFS driver might crash / cause corruption.
- Fix a silly bug that caused a deadlock in ntfs_mft_writepage().
For inode 0, i.e. $MFT itself, we cannot use ilookup5() from
there because the inode is already locked by the kernel
(fs/fs-writeback.c::__sync_single_inode()) and ilookup5() waits
until the inode is unlocked before returning it and it never gets
unlocked because ntfs_mft_writepage() never returns. )-:
Fortunately, we have inode 0 pinned in icache for the duration
of the mount so we can access it directly.

[PATCH] USB: enable pwc usb camera driver
The attached patch enables the pwc driver included with kernel 2.6.7-rc2
It also removes the warnings during compilation.
However, note that I blindly duplicated the release approach used by
other usb camera drivers, replacing the current no-op.
The driver works for me with a Logitech QuickCam Notebook Pro and
GnomeMeeting.

[PATCH] USB: Fix problems with cyberjack usb-serial-module since kernel 2.6.2
> Send me a patch to back those changes out to fix your device and I'll
> apply it. If the author is around to realize this, that should wake
> them up :)
Ok, here you are! :)
Attached is a patch for linux-2.6.7-rc2. (though the patch hasn't changed
since -rc1)
Again a short description:
(the patch removes most of the changes done in linux-2.6.2)
1. Removed the local buffer of cyberjack_write, because something goes wrong
upon a write-request bigger than the buffer. Without this, a write-request
stalls with error -3.
2. Removed some usb_clear_halt() lines. Without this, the device doesn't even
open and returns -7.
It works for my cyberjack pinpad USB card reader on
- nforce2 chipset
- VIA KM266 chipset
- AMD Irongate chipset
