bc146d23d1 ide: fix memory leak when flush command is issued
I'm using ide on 2.6.30.1 with xfs filesystem. I noticed a kernel memory
leak after writing lots of data, the kmalloc-96 slab cache keeps
growing. It seems the struct ide_cmd kmalloced by idedisk_prepare_flush
is never kfreed.

Commit a09485df9c ("ide: move request
type specific code from ide_end_drive_cmd() to callers (v3)") and
f505d49ffd ("ide: fix barriers support")
cause this regression, cmd->rq must now be set for ide_complete_cmd to
honor the IDE_TFLAG_DYN flag.

d953126a28 NFSv4: Fix a problem whereby a buggy server can oops the kernel
We just had a case in which a buggy server occasionally returns the wrong
attributes during an OPEN call. While the client does catch this sort of
condition in nfs4_open_done(), and causes the nfs4_atomic_open() to return
-EISDIR, the logic in nfs_atomic_lookup() is broken, since it causes a
fallback to an ordinary lookup instead of just returning the error.

When the buggy server then returns a regular file for the fallback lookup,
the VFS allows the open, and bad things start to happen, since the open
file doesn't have any associated NFSv4 state.

The fix is firstly to return the EISDIR/ENOTDIR errors immediately, and
secondly to ensure that we are always careful when dereferencing the
nfs_open_context state pointer.

fccba80455 NFSv4: Fix an NFSv4 mount regression
Commit 008f55d0e0 (nfs41: recover lease in
_nfs4_lookup_root) forces the state manager to always run on mount. This is
a bug in the case of NFSv4.0, which doesn't require us to send a
setclientid until we want to grab file state.

In any case, this is completely the wrong place to be doing state
management. Moving that code into nfs4_init_session...

b64aec8d1e NFSv4: Fix an Oops in nfs4_free_lock_state
The oops http://www.kerneloops.org/raw.php?rawid=537858&msgid= appears to
be due to the nfs4_lock_state->ls_state field being uninitialised. This
happens if the call to nfs4_free_lock_state() is triggered at the end of
nfs4_get_lock_state().

The fix is to move the initialisation of ls_state into the allocator.

5d2214ac5e ath: add support for special 0x8000 regulatory domain
Two users of ar9170 devices have now reported their cards
have been programmed with a regulatory domain of 0x8000.
This is not a valid regulatory domain as such these users were
unable to use these devices. Since this doesn't seem to be
a device EEPROM corruption we must treat it specially. It
may have been possible the manufacturer intended to use 0x0
as the regulatory domain and that would ultimately yield
to US but since we cannot get confirmationf or this we
default this special case to one of our world regulatory
domains, specifically 0x64.

f44aebcc56 inotify: use GFP_NOFS under potential memory pressure
inotify can have a watchs removed under filesystem reclaim.

=================================
[ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
2.6.31-rc2 #16

Two things are needed to fix this.  First we need a method to tell
fsnotify_create_event() to use GFP_NOFS and second we need to stop using
one global IN_IGNORED event and allocate them one at a time.  This solves
current issues with multiple IN_IGNORED on a queue having tail drop
problems and simplifies the allocations since we don't have to worry about
two tasks opperating on the IGNORED event concurrently.

c05594b621 fsnotify: fix inotify tail drop check with path entries
fsnotify drops new events when they are the same as the tail event on the
queue to be sent to userspace.  The problem is that if the event comes with
a path we forget to break out of the switch statement and fall into the
code path which matches on events that do not have any type of file backed
information (things like IN_UNMOUNT and IN_Q_OVERFLOW).  The problem is
that this code thinks all such events should be dropped.  Fix is to add a
break.

4a148ba988 inotify: check filename before dropping repeat events
inotify drops events if the last event on the queue is the same as the
current event.  But it does 2 things wrong.  First it is comparing old->inode
with new->inode.  But after an event if put on the queue the ->inode is no
longer allowed to be used.  It's possible between the last event and this new
event the inode could be reused and we would falsely match the inode's memory
address between two differing events.

The second problem is that when a file is removed fsnotify is passed the
negative dentry for the removed object rather than the postive dentry from
immediately before the removal.  This mean the (broken) inotify tail drop code
was matching the NULL ->inode of differing events.

The fix is to check the file name which is stored with events when doing the
tail drop instead of wrongly checking the address of the stored ->inode.

7e790dd5fc inotify: fix error paths in inotify_update_watch
inotify_update_watch could leave things in a horrid state on a number of
error paths.  We could try to remove idr entries that didn't exist, we
could send an IN_IGNORED to userspace for watches that don't exist, and a
bit of other stupidity.  Clean these up by doing the idr addition before we
put the mark on the inode since we can clean that up on error and getting
off the inode's mark list is hard.

75fe2b2639 inotify: do not leak inode marks in inotify_add_watch
inotify_add_watch had a couple of problems.  The biggest being that if
inotify_add_watch was called on the same inode twice (to update or change the
event mask) a refence was taken on the original inode mark by
fsnotify_find_mark_entry but was not being dropped at the end of the
inotify_add_watch call.  Thus if inotify_rm_watch was called although the mark
was removed from the inode, the refcnt wouldn't hit zero and we would leak
memory.

2517747667 macsonic: move probe function to .devinit.text
A pointer to mac_sonic_probe is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded.  Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.

Various other functions that are called by mac_sonic_probe need to move
to .devinit.text, too.

An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.

Once the "data" pointer is freed, we can't be iterating
to the next item in the list any more so we need to use
list_for_each_entry_safe with a temporary variable.

5d41635195 mac80211_hwsim: fix unregistration
If you rmmod the module while associated, frames might
be transmitted during unregistration -- which will crash
if the hwsim%d interface is unregistered first, so only
do that after all the virtual wiphys are gone.

48ab3578a6 rfkill: fix rfkill_set_states() to set the hw state
The point of this function is to set the software and hardware state at
the same time.  When I tried to use it, I found it was only setting the
software state.

f54c142725 rfkill: allow toggling soft state in sysfs again
Apparently there actually _are_ tools that try to set
this in sysfs even though it wasn't supposed to be used
this way without claiming first. Guess what: now that
I've cleaned it all up it doesn't matter and we can
simply allow setting the soft-block state in sysfs.

e2e414d923 mac80211: disable mesh
My kvm instance was complaining a lot about sleeping
in atomic contexts in the mesh code, and it turns out
that both mesh_path_add() and mpp_path_add() need to
be able to sleep (they even use synchronize_rcu()!).
I put in a might_sleep() to annotate that, but I see
no way, at least right now, of actually making sure
those functions are only called from process context
since they are both called during TX and RX and the
mesh code itself even calls them with rcu_read_lock()
"held".

Therefore, let's disable it completely for now.

It's possible that I'm only seeing this because the
hwsim's beaconing is broken and thus the peers aren't
discovered right away, but it is possible that this
happens even if beaconing is working, for a peer that
doesn't exist or so.

It should be possible to solve this by deferring the
freeing of the tables to call_rcu() instead of using
synchronize_rcu(), and also using atomic allocations,
but maybe it makes more sense to rework the code to
not call these from atomic contexts and defer more of
the work to the workqueue. Right now, I can't work on
either of those solutions though.

872ed1902f iwlwifi: only show active power level via sysfs
This changes the power_level file to adhere to the "one value
per file" sysfs rule. The user will know which power level was
requested as it will be the number just written to this file. It
is thus not necessary to create a new sysfs file for this value.

In addition it fixes a problem where powertop's parsing expects
this value to be the first value in this file without any descriptions.

513a2396d8 iwmc3200wifi: fix NULL pointer dereference in iwm_if_free
The driver private data is now based on wiphy. So we should not
touch the private data after wiphy_free() is called. The patch
fixes the potential NULL pointer dereference by making the
iwm_wdev_free() the last one on the interface removal path.

591d2fb02e genirq: Delegate irq affinity setting to the irq thread
irq_set_thread_affinity() calls set_cpus_allowed_ptr() which might
sleep, but irq_set_thread_affinity() is called with desc->lock held
and can be called from hard interrupt context as well. The code has
another bug as it does not hold a ref on the task struct as required
by set_cpus_allowed_ptr().

Just set the IRQTF_AFFINITY bit in action->thread_flags. The next time
the thread runs it migrates itself. Solves all of the above problems
nicely.

Add kerneldoc to irq_set_thread_affinity() while at it.

f1015c4477 jbd: fix race between write_metadata_buffer and get_write_access
The function journal_write_metadata_buffer() calls jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in)
too early; this could potentially allow another thread to call get_write_access
on the buffer head, modify the data, and dirty it, and allowing the wrong data
to be written into the journal.  Fortunately, if we lose this race, the only
time this will actually cause filesystem corruption is if there is a system
crash or other unclean shutdown of the system before the next commit can take
place.

155b735295 x86: Fix movq immediate operand constraints in uaccess_64.h
arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h uses wrong asm operand constraint
("ir") for movq insn. Since movq sign-extends its immediate operand,
"er" constraint should be used instead.

Attached patch changes all uses of __put_user_asm in uaccess_64.h to use
"er" when "q" insn suffix is involved.

Patch was compile tested on x86_64 with defconfig.
