08b23d74e0 [IA64] do not sync RBS when changing PT_AR_BSP or PT_CFM
Syncing is no longer needed, because user RBS is already
up-to-date.  Actually, if a debugger modified the contents
of the original RBS prior to changing PT_AR_BSP, the
modifications would get overwritten.

972559a052 [IA64] access user RBS directly
Because the user RBS of a process is now completely stored in
user-mode when the process is ptrace-stopped, accesses to the
RBS should no longer augment any part of the kernel RBS.

This means we can get rid of most ia64_peek() and ia64_poke()
calls.

f9c3a38021 NFS: use new LSM interfaces to explicitly set mount options
NFS and SELinux worked together previously because SELinux had NFS
specific knowledge built in.  This design was approved by both groups
back in 2004 but the recent NFS changes to use nfs_parsed_mount_data and
the usage of nfs_clone_mount_data showed this to be a poor fragile
solution.  This patch fixes the NFS functionality regression by making
use of the new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to explicitly set its own
mount options.

The explicit setting of mount options is done in the nfs get_sb
functions which are called before the generic vfs hooks try to set mount
options for filesystems which use text mount data.

This does not currently support NFSv4 as that functionality did not
exist in previous kernels and thus there is no regression.  I will be
adding the needed code, which I believe to be the exact same as the v3
code, in nfs4_get_sb for 2.6.26.

e000752989 LSM/SELinux: Interfaces to allow FS to control mount options
Introduce new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to deal with their own mount
options.  This includes a new string parsing function exported from the
LSM that an FS can use to get a security data blob and a new security
data blob.  This is particularly useful for an FS which uses binary
mount data, like NFS, which does not pass strings into the vfs to be
handled by the loaded LSM.  Also fix a BUG() in both SELinux and SMACK
when dealing with binary mount data.  If the binary mount data is less
than one page the copy_page() in security_sb_copy_data() can cause an
illegal page fault and boom.  Remove all NFSisms from the SELinux code
since they were broken by past NFS changes.

f6ebef30e2 [CPUFREQ] fix section mismatch warnings
Fix the following warnings:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xfe6711): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpufreq_unregister_driver() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpufreq_cpu_notifier
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xfe68af): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpufreq_register_driver() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpufreq_cpu_notifier
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.exit.text+0xc4fa): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpufreq_stats_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier

The warnings were casued by references to unregister_hotcpu_notifier()
from normal functions or exit functions.
This is flagged by modpost as a potential error because
it does not know that for the non HOTPLUG_CPU
scenario the unregister_hotcpu_notifier() is a nop.
Silence the warning by replacing the __initdata
annotation with a __refdata annotation.

For qla4xxx, we could be starting a session, but some error (network,

The host reset callout could be starting to reset the hba at the same
time the dpc thread is. This creates lots of problems because they both
want to do wierd things with the firmware and interrupts, etc.

a potential race with the dpc thread and iscsi recovery thread.

a878539ef9 ahci: work around ATI SB600 h/w quirk
This addresses the recent ATI SB600 errata, where the hardware does
not like 256-length PRD entries during FPDMA (aka NCQ).

It hurts performance on SB600, but it is more important to get a
correct patch eliminating the data corruption/lockups, and then later
on tune for performance.

We simply limit each command to a maximum of 255 sectors, on SB600.

684de39bd7 [S390] Fix IPL from NSS.
IPL from NSS didn't work because the memory detection routine omits any
memory sections with a size lower than what MAX_ORDER defines.
This causes the detection routine to skip the first memory segment which
has a size of 1MB. Which later on will let the kernel think that there
is no memory available at all.
Since in addition the z/VM memory increment size is 1MB force MAX_ORDER
to be 9, so we can support 1MB segments.

first recovery step is to retry it on the base device. If the
recovery request fails again with the same symptoms, the next step
should not be a simple retry, but should be a proper recovery based

recognize the alias recovery step in the erp chain by comparing

dea75bdfa5 [IPCONFIG]: The kernel gets no IP from some DHCP servers
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>

Based upon a patch by Marcel Wappler:
 
   This patch fixes a DHCP issue of the kernel: some DHCP servers
   (i.e.  in the Linksys WRT54Gv5) are very strict about the contents
   of the DHCPDISCOVER packet they receive from clients.
 
   Table 5 in RFC2131 page 36 requests the fields 'ciaddr' and
   'siaddr' MUST be set to '0'.  These DHCP servers ignore Linux
   kernel's DHCP discovery packets with these two fields set to
   '255.255.255.255' (in contrast to popular DHCP clients, such as
   'dhclient' or 'udhcpc').  This leads to a not booting system.

348e1e04b5 hugetlb: fix pool shrinking while in restricted cpuset
Adam Litke noticed that currently we grow the hugepage pool independent of any
cpuset the running process may be in, but when shrinking the pool, the cpuset
is checked.  This leads to inconsistency when shrinking the pool in a
restricted cpuset -- an administrator may have been able to grow the pool on a
node restricted by a containing cpuset, but they cannot shrink it there.

There are two options: either prevent growing of the pool outside of the
cpuset or allow shrinking outside of the cpuset.  >From previous discussions
on linux-mm, /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages is an administrative interface that
should not be restricted by cpusets.  So allow shrinking the pool by removing
pages from nodes outside of current's cpuset.

ac09b3a151 hugetlb: close a difficult to trigger reservation race
A hugetlb reservation may be inadequately backed in the event of racing
allocations and frees when utilizing surplus huge pages.  Consider the
following series of events in processes A and B:

 A) Allocates some surplus pages to satisfy a reservation
 B) Frees some huge pages
 A) A notices the extra free pages and drops hugetlb_lock to free some of
    its surplus pages back to the buddy allocator.
 B) Allocates some huge pages
 A) Reacquires hugetlb_lock and returns from gather_surplus_huge_pages()

Avoid this by commiting the reservation after pages have been allocated but
before dropping the lock to free excess pages.  For parity, release the
reservation in return_unused_surplus_pages().

This patch also corrects the cpuset_mems_nr() error path in
hugetlb_acct_memory().  If the cpuset check fails, uncommit the
reservation, but also be sure to return any surplus huge pages that may
have been allocated to back the failed reservation.

Thanks to Andy Whitcroft for discovering this.

a07e6ab41b md: the md RAID10 resync thread could cause a md RAID10 array deadlock
This message describes another issue about md RAID10 found by testing the
2.6.24 md RAID10 using new scsi fault injection framework.

Abstract:

When a scsi error results in disabling a disk during RAID10 recovery, the
resync threads of md RAID10 could stall.

This case, the raid array has already been broken and it may not matter.  But
I think stall is not preferable.  If it occurs, even shutdown or reboot will
fail because of resource busy.

The deadlock mechanism:

The r10bio_s structure has a "remaining" member to keep track of BIOs yet to
be handled when recovering.  The "remaining" counter is incremented when
building a BIO in sync_request() and is decremented when finish a BIO in
end_sync_write().

If building a BIO fails for some reasons in sync_request(), the "remaining"
should be decremented if it has already been incremented.  I found a case
where this decrement is forgotten.  This causes a md_do_sync() deadlock
because md_do_sync() waits for md_done_sync() called by end_sync_write(), but
end_sync_write() never calls md_done_sync() because of the "remaining" counter
mismatch.

For example, this problem would be reproduced in the following case:

Personalities : [raid10]
md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sdb1[6](F)
      3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/2] [_UU_]
      [>....................]  recovery =  2.2% (45376/1959808) finish=0.7min speed=45376K/sec

This case, sdf1 is recovering, sdb1 and sde1 are disabled.
An additional error with detaching sdd will cause a deadlock.

md0 : active raid10 sdf1[4] sde1[5](F) sdd1[6](F) sdc1[1] sdb1[7](F)
      3919616 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/1] [_U__]
      [=>...................]  recovery =  5.0% (99520/1959808) finish=5.9min speed=5237K/sec

 2739 ?        S<     0:17 [md0_raid10]
28608 ?        D<     0:00 [md0_resync]
28629 pts/1    Ss     0:00 bash
28830 pts/1    R+     0:00 ps ax
31819 ?        D<     0:00 [kjournald]

The resync thread keeps working, but actually it is deadlocked.

Patch:
By this patch, the remaining counter will be decremented if needed.

1c830532f6 md: fix possible raid1/raid10 deadlock on read error during resync
Thanks to K.Tanaka and the scsi fault injection framework, here is a fix for
another possible deadlock in raid1/raid10 error handing.

If a read request returns an error while a resync is happening and a resync
request is pending, the attempt to fix the error will block until the resync
progresses, and the resync will block until the read request completes.  Thus
a deadlock.

This patch fixes the problem.

8ed3a19563 md: don't attempt read-balancing for raid10 'far' layouts
This patch changes the disk to be read for layout "far > 1" to always be the
disk with the lowest block address.

Thus the chunks to be read will always be (for a fully functioning array) from
the first band of stripes, and the raid will then work as a raid0 consisting
of the first band of stripes.

Some advantages:

The fastest part which is the outer sectors of the disks involved will be
used.  The outer blocks of a disk may be as much as 100 % faster than the
inner blocks.

Average seek time will be smaller, as seeks will always be confined to the
first part of the disks.

Mixed disks with different performance characteristics will work better, as
they will work as raid0, the sequential read rate will be number of disks
involved times the IO rate of the slowest disk.

If a disk is malfunctioning, the first disk which is working, and has the
lowest block address for the logical block will be used.

27c529bb8e md: lock access to rdev attributes properly
When we access attributes of an rdev (component device on an md array) through
sysfs, we really need to lock the array against concurrent changes.  We
currently do that when we change an attribute, but not when we read an
attribute.  We need to lock when reading as well else rdev->mddev could become
NULL while we are accessing it.

So add appropriate locking (mddev_lock) to rdev_attr_show.

rdev_size_store requires some extra care as well as it needs to unlock the
mddev while scanning other mddevs for overlapping regions.  We currently
assume that rdev->mddev will still be unchanged after the scan, but that
cannot be certain.  So take a copy of rdev->mddev for use at the end of the
function.

2515619823 md: make sure a reshape is started when device switches to read-write
A resync/reshape/recovery thread will refuse to progress when the array is
marked read-only.  So whenever it mark it not read-only, it is important to
wake up thread resync thread.  There is one place we didn't do this.

The problem manifests if the start_ro module parameters is set, and a raid5
array that is in the middle of a reshape (restripe) is started.  The array
will initially be semi-read-only (meaning it acts like it is readonly until
the first write).  So the reshape will not proceed.

On the first write, the array will become read-write, but the reshape will not
be started, and there is no event which will ever restart that thread.

When a raid1 array is stopped, all components currently get added to the list

found by autodetection in the first place.  So add a flag to record that

8311c29d40 md: reduce CPU wastage on idle md array with a write-intent bitmap
On an md array with a write-intent bitmap, a thread wakes up every few seconds
and scans the bitmap looking for work to do.  If the array is idle, there will
be no work to do, but a lot of scanning is done to discover this.

So cache the fact that the bitmap is completely clean, and avoid scanning the
whole bitmap when the cache is known to be clean.

a35e63efa1 md: fix deadlock in md/raid1 and md/raid10 when handling a read error
When handling a read error, we freeze the array to stop any other IO while
attempting to over-write with correct data.

This is done in the raid1d(raid10d) thread and must wait for all submitted IO
to complete (except for requests that failed and are sitting in the retry
queue - these are counted in ->nr_queue and will stay there during a freeze).

However write requests need attention from raid1d as bitmap updates might be
required.  This can cause a deadlock as raid1 is waiting for requests to
finish that themselves need attention from raid1d.

So we create a new function 'flush_pending_writes' to give that attention, and
call it in freeze_array to be sure that we aren't waiting on raid1d.
