49d7bc6428 Revert revert of "[SCSI] fix usb storage oops"
This reverts commit 1b0997f561, which in
turn reverted 34ea80ec6a (which is thus
re-instated).

Quoth James Bottomley:

  "All it's doing is deferring the device_put() from the
   scsi_put_command() to after the scsi_run_queue(), which doesn't fix
   the sleep while atomic problem of the device release method.  In both
   cases we still get the semaphore in atomic context problem which is
   caused by scsi_reap_target() doing a device_del(), which I assumed
   (wrongly) was valid from atomic context."

who also promised to fix scsi_reap_target().

The raid5 stripe cache was recently changed from fixed size (NR_STRIPES) to
variable size (conf->max_nr_stripes).  However there are two places that still
use the constant and as a result, reducing the size of the stripe cache can

a64882e795 [PATCH] ACPI: fix sleeping whilst atomic warnings on resume
This has been broken for months.  On resume, we call acpi_pci_link_set()
with interrupts off, so we get a warning when we try to do a kmalloc of non
atomic memory.  The actual allocation is just 2 long's (plus extra byte for
some reason I can't fathom), so a simple conversion to GFP_ATOMIC is
probably the safest way to fix this.

The error looks like this..

66d43e98ea [PATCH] fix in __alloc_bootmem_core() when there is no free page in first node's memory
Hitting BUG_ON() in __alloc_bootmem_core() when there is no free page
available in the first node's memory.  For the case of kdump on PPC64
(Power 4 machine), the captured kernel is used two memory regions - memory
for TCE tables (tce-base and tce-size at top of RAM and reserved) and
captured kernel memory region (crashk_base and crashk_size).  Since we
reserve the memory for the first node, we should be returning from
__alloc_bootmem_core() to search for the next node (pg_dat).

Currently, find_next_zero_bit() is returning the n^th bit (eidx) when there
is no free page.  Then, test_bit() is failed since we set 0xff only for the
actual size initially (init_bootmem_core()) even though rounded up to one
page for bdata->node_bootmem_map.  We are hitting the BUG_ON after failing
to enter second "for" loop.

8140a5005b [PATCH] inotify: add two inotify_add_watch flags
The below patch lets userspace have more control over the inodes that
inotify will watch.  It introduces two new flags.

        IN_ONLYDIR -- only watch the inode if it is a directory.
        This is needed to avoid the race that can occur when we want to be
        sure that we are watching a directory.

        IN_DONT_FOLLOW -- don't follow a symlink.  In combination
        with IN_ONLYDIR we can make sure that we don't watch the target of
        symlinks.

The issues the flags fix came up when writing the gnome-vfs inotify
backend.  Default behaviour is unchanged.

5650b736ad [PATCH] Add timestamp field to process events
This adds a timestamp field to the events sent via the process event
connector.  The timestamp allows listeners to accurately account the
duration(s) between a process' events and offers strong means with which
to determine the order of events with respect to a given task while also
avoiding the addition of per-task data.

This alters the size and layout of the event structure and hence would
break compatibility if process events connector as it stands in 2.6.15-rc2

894ec8707c [PATCH] Fix listxattr() for generic security attributes
Commit f549d6c18c introduced a generic
fallback for security xattrs, but appears to include a subtle bug.

Gentoo users with kernels with selinux compiled in, and coreutils compiled
with acl support, noticed that they could not copy files on tmpfs using
'cp'.

cp (compiled with acl support) copies the file, lists the extended
attributes on the old file, copies them all to the new file, and then
exits.  However the listxattr() calls were failing with this odd behaviour:

llistxattr("a.out", (nil), 0)           = 17
llistxattr("a.out", 0x7fffff8c6cb0, 17) = -1 ERANGE (Numerical result out of
range)

I believe this is a simple problem in the logic used to check the buffer
sizes; if the user sends a buffer the exact size of the data, then its ok
:)

This change solves the problem.

ab4720ec76 [PATCH] add rcu_barrier() synchronization point
This introduces a new interface - rcu_barrier() which waits until all
the RCUs queued until this call have been completed.

Reiser4 needs this, because we do more than just freeing memory object
in our RCU callback: we also remove it from the list hanging off
super-block.  This means, that before freeing reiser4-specific portion
of super-block (during umount) we have to wait until all pending RCU
callbacks are executed.

The only change of reiser4 made to the original patch, is exporting of
rcu_barrier().

This is wrong.  KERNELRELEASE depends on CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, thus you
need .config.

82584ef75b [PATCH] x86: fix NMI with CPU hotplug
With CPU hotplug enabled, NMI watchdog stoped working.  It appears the
violation is the cpu_online check in nmi handler.  local ACPI based NMI
watchdog is initialized before we set CPU online for APs.  It's quite
possible a NMI is fired before we set CPU online, and that's what happens
here.

b3e55c727f [PATCH] Kprobes: Reference count the modules when probed on it
When a Kprobes are inserted/removed on a modules, the modules must be ref
counted so as not to allow to unload while probes are registered on that
module.

Without this patch, the probed module is free to unload, and when the
probing module unregister the probe, the kpobes code while trying to
replace the original instruction might crash.

SetPageDirty() and ClearPageDirty() are low-level thing which filesystems
shouldn't be using.  They bypass dirty page accounting.

67121172f9 Allow arbitrary read-only shared pfn-remapping too
The VM layer (for historical reasons) turns a read-only shared mmap into
a private-like mapping with the VM_MAYWRITE bit clear.  Thus checking
just VM_SHARED isn't actually sufficient.

So use a trivial helper function for the cases where we wanted to inquire
if a mapping was COW-like or not.

Moo!

7fc7e2eeec Remove (at least temporarily) the "incomplete PFN mapping" support
With the previous commit, we can handle arbitrary shared re-mappings
even without this complexity, and since the only known private mappings
are for strange users of /dev/mem (which never create an incomplete one),
there seems to be no reason to support it.

fb155c1619 Allow arbitrary shared PFNMAP's
A shared mapping doesn't cause COW-pages, so we don't need to worry
about the whole vm_pgoff logic to decide if a PFN-remapped page has
gone through COW or not.

This makes it possible to entirely avoid the special "partial remapping"
logic for the common case.

ef96943400 [PATCH] ppc32: set smp_tb_synchronized on UP with SMP kernel
ppc32 kernel, when built with CONFIG_SMP and booted on a single CPU
machine, will not properly set smp_tb_synchronized, thus causing
gettimeofday() to not use the HW timebase and to be limited to jiffy
resolution.  This, among others, causes unacceptable pauses when launching
X.org.
