The sysctl interfaces for updating the uts entries such as hostname and
domainname are using the wrong length for these buffers; they are hard
coded to 64.  Although safe, this artifically limits the size of these
fields to one less than the true maximum.  This generates an inconsistency
between the various methods of update for these fields.

The error originates from the fact the handler for strings (proc_dostring)
already allows for the string terminator.  This patch corrects the limit,
taking the oppotunity to convert to use of sizeof().

In testing for SLES9, we ran across a bug caused by userspace apps poking
the PIT which caused bad values to be read by the kernel.  This would then
trigger the lost tick detection code with insane values and would then
break the SCSI subsystem.

This patch includes the PIT sanity check from the TSC timesource into the
cyclone timesource code, which catches the bad case described above and
resolves the issue.

This patch adds support for 6 system call arguments on s390.  The first
exploiter of this will be the sys_futex system call for the
FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE operation.  The idea is simple: use register %r7 for the
6th argument.  This can be extended to 7/8/9/...  arguments if there ever
will be the need for it.  To call the system call function in the kernel
the additional arguments needs to get stored on the stack.  8 bytes are
added to the head of struct pt_regs.  %r7 is stored to the additional field
for all system calls.  The store is hidden in a
address-generation-interlock slot, it doesn't slow down the system call
path.

There's a small window where the filesystem can be unmounted during

be done after the FS put_super and and the super has been removed from all

The fix is to hold the s_umount sem during sync_sb_inodes to make sure
the FS doesn't get unmounted.

Fix a problem discovered by Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>, based on an initial
patch from Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>.

journal_get_descriptor_buffer() is used to obtain a regular old buffer_head
against the blockdev mapping.  The caller will populate that bh by hand and
will then submit it for writing.

But there are problems:

a) The function sets bh->b_state nonatomically.  But this buffer is
   accessible to other CPUs via pagecache lookup.

b) The function sets the buffer dirty and then the caller populates it and
   then it is submitted for I/O.  Wrong order: there's a window in which the
   VM could write the buffer before it is fully populated.

c) The function fails to set the buffer uptodate after zeroing it.  And one
   caller forgot to mark it uptodate as well.  So if the VM happens to decide
   to write the containing page back __block_write_full_page() encounters a
   dirty, not uptodate buffer, which is an illegal state.  This was generating
   buffer_error() warnings before we removed buffer_error().

   Leaving the buffer not uptodate also means that a concurrent reader of
   /dev/hda1 could cause physical I/O against the buffer, scribbling on what
   we just put in it.

   So journal_get_descriptor_buffer() is changed to mark the buffer
   uptodate, under the buffer lock.

I considered changing journal_get_descriptor_buffer() to return a locked
buffer but there doesn't seem to be a need for this, and both callers end up
using ll_rw_block() anyway, which requires that the buffer be unlocked again.

Note that the journal_get_descriptor_buffer() callers dirty these buffers with
set_buffer_dirty().  That's a bit naughty, because it could create dirty
buffers against a clean page - an illegal state.  They really should use
mark_buffer_dirty() to dirty the page and inode as well.  But all callers will
immediately write and clean the buffer anyway, so we can safely leave this
optimising cheat in place.

The ioctl to ethtool change broke that little detail...


I made the changes, Jeff agreed in principle, Red Hat owns them and I know
no reason they can't be contributed under the GPL v2 or later.

Requires: ethtool change

Several ethernet drivers have been broken by the ethtool support because
the ioctl code used to power the interface up and down as needed. Rather
than add this to each driver call Jeff Garzik suggested we add hooks
for before/after ethtool processing.

This patch implements them which makes fixing the PM stuff easier,
as the epic100 patch to follow will show. It also cleans up the
via-velocity driver pm/ethtool logic a great deal. As per Jeff's
request the before handler is allowed to fail the operation.
