b4c76fa721 [PATCH] reiserfs_write_full_page() should not get_block past eof
reiserfs_write_full_page does zero bytes in the file past eof, but it may
call get_block on those buffers as well.  On machines where the page size
is larger than the blocksize, this can result in mmaped files incorrectly
growing up to a block boundary during writepage.

The fix is to avoid calling get_block for any blocks that are entirely past
eof

ebd15302dc [PATCH] memory hotadd fixes: enhance collision check
This patch is for collision check enhancement for memory hot add.

It's better to do resouce collision check before doing memory hot add,
which will touch memory management structures.

And add_section() should check section exists or not before calling
sparse_add_one_section(). (sparse_add_one_section() will do another
check anyway. but checking in memory_hotplug.c will be easy to understand.)

fa25d8d6d3 [PATCH] memory hotadd fixes: avoid check in acpi
add_memory() does all necessary check to avoid collision.  then, acpi layer
doesn't have to check region by itself.

(*) pfn_valid() just returns page struct is valid or not. It returns 0
    if a section has been already added even is ioresource is not added.
    ioresource collision check in mm/memory_hotplug.c can do more precise
    collistion check.
    added enabled bit check just for sanity check..

0f04ab5efb [PATCH] memory hotadd fixes: change find_next_system_ram's return value manner
find_next_system_ram() returns valid memory range which meets requested area,
only used by memory-hot-add.

This function always rewrite requested resource even if returned area is not
fully fit in requested one.  And sometimes the returnd resource is larger than
requested area.  This annoyes the caller.  This patch changes the returned
value to fit in requested area.

6f712711db [PATCH] memory hotadd fixes: not-aligned memory hotadd handling fix
ioresouce handling code in memory hotplug allows not-aligned memory hot add.
But when memmap and other memory structures are initialized, parameters should

assumes parameters are aligned.) This patch fix it.

And this patch allows ioresource collision check to handle -EEXIST.

94f563c426 [PATCH] Fix BeFS slab corruption
In bugzilla #6941, Jens Kilian reported:

"The function befs_utf2nls (in fs/befs/linuxvfs.c) writes a 0 byte past the
end of a block of memory allocated via kmalloc(), leading to memory
corruption.  This happens only for filenames which are pure ASCII and a
multiple of 4 bytes in length.  [...]

Without DEBUG_SLAB, this leads to further corruption and hard lockups; I
believe this is the bug which has made kernels later than 2.6.8 unusable
for me.  (This must be due to changes in memory management, the bug has
been in the BeFS driver since the time it was introduced (AFAICT).)

Steps to reproduce:
Create a directory (in BeOS, naturally :-) with files named, e.g.,
"1", "22", "333", "4444", ...  Mount it in Linux and do an "ls" or "find""

This patch implements the suggested fix. Credits to Jens Kilian for
debugging the problem and finding the right fix.

64e0cc38b6 [PATCH] pSeries: hvsi char driver janitorial cleanup
A set of tty line discipline cleanup patches were introduced before the
dawn of time, in kernel version 2.4.21.  This patch performs that cleanup
for the hvsi driver.

The hvsi driver is used only on IBM pSeries PowerPC boxes.  The driver was
originally written by Hollis Blanchard, who has delegated maintainership to
me.  So this my first and maybe only patch in this official new role,
because this driver is otherwise bug-free :-)

and the helpers do this for you."

2f34931fdc [PATCH] knfsd: fix race related problem when adding items to and svcrpc auth cache
If we don't find the item we are lookng for, we allocate a new one, and
then grab the lock again and search to see if it has been added while we
did the alloc.  If it had been added we need to 'cache_put' the newly
created item that we are never going to use.  But as it hasn't been
initialised properly, putting it can cause an oops.

So move the ->init call earlier to that it will always be fully initilised
if we have to put it.

60c371bc75 [PATCH] fadvise() make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-op
The POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE hint means "the application will use this range of the
file a single time".  It seems to be intended that the implementation will use
this hint to perform drop-behind of that part of the file when the application
gets around to reading or writing it.

However for reasons which aren't obvious (or sane?) I mapped
POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE onto POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED.  ie: it does readahead.

That's daft.  So for now, make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-op.

This is a non-back-compatible change.  If someone was using POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE
to perform readahead, they lose.  The likelihood is low.

If/when we later implement POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE things will get interesting - to
do it fully we'll need to maintain file offset/length ranges and peform all
sorts of complex tricks, and managing the lifetime of those ranges' data
structures will be interesting..

A sensible implementation would probably ignore the file range and would
simply mark the entire file as needing some form of drop-behind treatment.

This can occur when release_console_sem() is called but the log
buffer still has contents that need to be flushed. The console drivers
are called while the console_may_schedule flag is still true. The
might_sleep() is triggered when fbcon calls console_conditional_schedule().

Fix by setting console_may_schedule to zero earlier, before the call to the
console drivers.

Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address

The code in question is:

static int unqueue_me(struct futex_q *q)
{
        int ret = 0;
        spinlock_t *lock_ptr;

        /* In the common case we don't take the spinlock, which is nice. */
 retry:
        lock_ptr = q->lock_ptr;
        if (lock_ptr != 0) {
                spin_lock(lock_ptr);
		/*
                 * q->lock_ptr can change between reading it and
                 * spin_lock(), causing us to take the wrong lock.  This
                 * corrects the race condition.
[...]

and my compiler (gcc 4.1.0) makes the following out of it:

00000000000003c8 <unqueue_me>:
     3c8:       eb bf f0 70 00 24       stmg    %r11,%r15,112(%r15)

		/* write q->lock_ptr in r12 */
     3f4:       b9 02 00 cc             ltgr    %r12,%r12
     3f8:       a7 84 00 4b             je      48e <unqueue_me+0xc6>
		/* if r12 is zero then jump over the code.... */
     3fc:       e3 20 b0 28 00 04       lg      %r2,40(%r11)
		/* write q->lock_ptr in r2 */
     402:       c0 e5 00 00 00 00       brasl   %r14,402 <unqueue_me+0x3a>
                        404: R_390_PC32DBL      _spin_lock+0x2
		/* use r2 as parameter for spin_lock */

So the code becomes more or less:
if (q->lock_ptr != 0) spin_lock(q->lock_ptr)
instead of
if (lock_ptr != 0) spin_lock(lock_ptr)

Which caused the oops from above.
After adding a barrier gcc creates code without this problem:
[...] (the same)
     3ee:       e3 c0 b0 28 00 04       lg      %r12,40(%r11)
     3f4:       b9 02 00 cc             ltgr    %r12,%r12
     3f8:       b9 04 00 2c             lgr     %r2,%r12
     3fc:       a7 84 00 48             je      48c <unqueue_me+0xc4>
     400:       c0 e5 00 00 00 00       brasl   %r14,400 <unqueue_me+0x38>
                        402: R_390_PC32DBL      _spin_lock+0x2

As a general note, this code of unqueue_me seems a bit fishy. The retry logic
of unqueue_me only works if we can guarantee, that the original value of
q->lock_ptr is always a spinlock (Otherwise we overwrite kernel memory). We
know that q->lock_ptr can change. I dont know what happens with the original
spinlock, as I am not an expert with the futex code.

72f0b4e213 [PATCH] disable debugging version of write_lock()
We've confirmed that the debug version of write_lock() can get stuck for long
enough to cause NMI watchdog timeouts and hence a crash.

We don't know why, yet.   Disable it for now.

Also disable the similar read_lock() code.  Just in case.

Thanks to Dave Olson <olson@unixfolk.com> for reporting and testing.

a7ef7878ea [PATCH] Make suspend possible with a traced process at a breakpoint
It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a
traced process that has just reached a breakpoint.  However, this is a
special case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and
then we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process.
If this happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process.

eca7994f60 [IA64] make uncached allocator more node aware
The uncached allocator has a function, uncached_get_new_chunk(), that needs
to be serialized on a per node basis. It also has a global variable,
allocated_granules, which should be defined on a per node basis and protected
by that serialization. Additionally, all error returns from functions called
(like ia64_pal_mc_drain()) should be handled appropriately.
