Martin Schwidefsky wrote: "s390 does not even need (in|out)b(_p|). I wondered what else from io.h do we not need. The answer is: almost nothing. With the devres patch from Al and the dma-mapping patch from Heiko we can get rid of iomem and all associated definitions." So we'll just need to replace NO_IOPORT with NO_IOMEM in Kconfig and kill arch/s390/mm/ioremap.c. BTW, there's an annoying bit of junk in there - IO_SPACE_LIMIT. We only need it for /proc/ioports, which AFAICS shouldn't even be there on s390 (or uml). OTOH, removing that thing would mean a user-visible change - we go from "empty file in /proc" to "no such file in /proc"... Signed-off-by:

* Split the implementation-agnostic stuff in separate files. * Make sure that targets using non-default request_irq() pull kernel/irq/devres.o * Introduce new symbols (HAS_IOPORT and HAS_IOMEM) defaulting to positive; allow architectures to turn them off (we needed these symbols anyway for dependencies of quite a few drivers). * protect the ioport-related parts of lib/devres.o with CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT.

This patch contains two fixes for RapisIO enumeration logic: 1. Fix enumeration in configurations with multiple switches. The patch adds: a. Enumeration of an empty switch. Empty switch is a switch that does not have any endpoint devices attached to it (except host device or previous switch in a chain). New code assigns a phony destination ID associated with the switch and sets up corresponding routes. b. Adds a second pass to the enumeration to setup routes to devices discovered after switch was scanned. 2. Fix enumeration failure when riohdid parameter has non-zero value. Current version fails to setup response path to the host when it has destination ID other that 0. Signed-off-by:Alexandre Bounine <alexandreb@tundra.com> Acked-by:

release_mem contains two copies of exactly the same code. Refactor these into a new helper, release_tty. The only change in behaviour is that the driver reference count is now decremented after the master tty has been freed instead of before.

If you try to read things like /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease with single-byte reads, you get just one byte and then EOF. This is because _proc_do_string() assumes that the caller is read()ing into a buffer which is large enough to fit the whole string in a single hit. Fix. Cc: "Eric W.

The order of locking between lockdep_off/on() and local_irq_save/restore() in vprintk() should be changed. * In kernel/printk.c : vprintk() does : preempt_disable() local_irq_save() lockdep_off() spin_lock(&logbuf_lock) spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock) if(!down_trylock(&console_sem)) up(&console_sem) lockdep_on() local_irq_restore() preempt_enable() The goals here is to make sure we do not call printk() recursively from kernel/lockdep.c:__lock_acquire() (called from spin_* and down/up) nor from kernel/lockdep.c:trace_hardirqs_on/off() (called from local_irq_restore/save). It can then potentially call printk() through mark_held_locks/mark_lock. It correctly protects against the spin_lock call and the up/down call, but it does not protect against local_irq_restore. It could cause infinite recursive printk/trace_hardirqs_on() calls when printk() is called from the mark_lock() error handing path. We should change the locking so it becomes correct : preempt_disable() lockdep_off() local_irq_save() spin_lock(&logbuf_lock) spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock) if(!down_trylock(&console_sem)) up(&console_sem) local_irq_restore() lockdep_on() preempt_enable() Signed-off-by:

unlock_buffer(), like unlock_page(), must not clear the lock without ensuring that the critical section is closed. Mingming later sent the same patch, saying: We are running SDET benchmark and saw double free issue for ext3 extended attributes block, which complains the same xattr block already being freed (in ext3_xattr_release_block()). The problem could also been triggered by multiple threads loop untar/rm a kernel tree. The race is caused by missing a memory barrier at unlock_buffer() before the lock bit being cleared, resulting in possible concurrent h_refcounter update. That causes a reference counter leak, then later leads to the double free that we have seen. Inside unlock_buffer(), there is a memory barrier is placed *after* the lock bit is being cleared, however, there is no memory barrier *before* the bit is cleared. On some arch the h_refcount update instruction and the clear bit instruction could be reordered, thus leave the critical section re-entered. The race is like this: For example, if the h_refcount is initialized as 1, cpu 0: cpu1 -------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- lock_buffer() /* test_and_set_bit */ clear_buffer_locked(bh); lock_buffer() /* test_and_set_bit */ h_refcount = h_refcount+1; /* = 2*/ h_refcount = h_refcount + 1; /*= 2 */ clear_buffer_locked(bh); .... ...... We lost a h_refcount here. We need a memory barrier before the buffer head lock bit being cleared to force the order of the two writes. Please apply.

Extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macros, and remove identical (and now superfluous) definitions from a couple of source files. based on a page at robert love's blog: http://rlove.org/log/2005102601 extend the set of shortcut macros defined in compiler-gcc.h with the following: #define __packed __attribute__((packed)) #define __weak __attribute__((weak)) #define __naked __attribute__((naked)) #define __noreturn __attribute__((noreturn)) #define __pure __attribute__((pure)) #define __aligned(x) __attribute__((aligned(x))) #define __printf(a,b) __attribute__((format(printf,a,b))) Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they want to take advantage of them. there is already a strong precedent for using shortcuts like this in the source tree. The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very confusingly. note the two very different definitions for a macro named "ALIGNED": drivers/net/sgiseeq.c:#define ALIGNED(x) ((((unsigned long)(x)) + 0xf) & ~(0xf)) drivers/scsi/ultrastor.c:#define ALIGNED(x) __attribute__((aligned(x))) also: include/acpi/platform/acgcc.h: #define ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE(c) __attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, c, c+1))) Given the precedent, then, it seems logical to at least standardize on a consistent set of these macros.

Return -ENOENT from ext[34]_link if we've raced with unlink and i_nlink is 0. Doing otherwise has the potential to corrupt the orphan inode list, because we'd wind up with an inode with a non-zero link count on the list, and it will never get properly cleaned up & removed from the orphan list before it is freed.
