      [PATCH] writeback livelock fix · 294947ec
      Andrew Morton authored
      To avoid various livelocks, the writeback code parks all the dirty inodes onto
      sb->s_io and then works through that list until it is empty.  This assumes
      that each inode will be moved to some other list as it is processed.
      
      But there's a loophole: if the ->writepages() implementation does nothing at
      all, the inode is not redirtied (which would move it to s_dirty).  This causes
      s_io to not empty and pdflush goes nuts.
      
      So when this happens, move the inode onto s_dirty within
      __sync_single_inode().  Use list_move_tail() to attempt to preserve the
      time-ordering of the s_dirty list.

      [PATCH] cciss build fix · 5a1b759d
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: <mikem@beardog.cca.cpqcorp.net>
      
      This patch fixes the linux/include/cciss_ioctl.h file.  When support for the
      cciss big ioctl was added the stucture in the header was put in the wrong
      place.  If an application includes the file it will fail to compile.

      [PATCH] Fix might_sleep in /proc/swaps code · c6845c0c
      Alexander Viro authored
      This fixes a locking problem noted by Tim Hockin:
          * /proc/swaps uses seq_file code, calling seq_path() with swaplock held
          * seq_path() calls d_path()
          * d_path() calls mntput() which might_sleep()
      
      We add a new semaphore protecting insertions/removals in the set of swap
      components + switch of ->start()/->stop() to the same semaphore [fixes
      deadlocks] + trivial cleanup of ->next().

      [PATCH] Fix overeager stack-expansion on ppc64 · e3756200
      David Gibson authored
      This fix is from Paul Mackerras and was applied in 2.4 sometime late
      last year.
      
      On ppc64, touching addresses between the highest other mapping and the
      stack can cause the stack to be extended way, way down, rather than
      causing a SEGV as you would expect.  This patch only allows the stack
      mapping to be extended to cover addresses actually within the stack
      (as determined by looking at the process's r1).  This fix is ported
      from 2.4
      
      This fixes failures on the LTP's shmdt01, munmap01 and munmap02 tests.

      [PATCH] fix default IDE interfaces initialization for PPC32 · 4734c153
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored
      In ide_init_default_irq() patch I overlooked that ppc_ide_md.init_hwif_ports()
      called from generic ide_init_hwif_ports() can set hwif->irq and it will
      be overwritten by ide_init_default_irq() if CONFIG_PCI is defined.  Fix
      it.
      
      I will clean it up properly later after killing ide_init_hwif_ports() on
      ARM{26}.  Doing it now is just wasted effort.
