      [PATCH] Fix possible bio corruption with RAID5 · e1f936a9
      Neil Brown authored
       1/ make sure raid5 doesn't try to handle multiple overlaping
          requests at the same time as this would confuse things badly.
          Currently it justs BUGs if this is attempted.
       2/ Fix a possible data-loss-on-write problem.  If two or
          more bio's that write to the same page are processed at the
          same time, only the first was actually commited to storage.
       3/ Fix a use-after-free bug.  raid5 keeps the bio's it is given
          in linked lists when more than one bio touch a single page.
          In some cases the tail of this list can be freed, and
          the current test for 'are we at the end' isn't reliable.
          This patch strengths the test to make it reliable.

      Fix thread group leader zombie leak · 056ffaad
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Petr Vandrovec noticed a problem where the thread group leader
      would not be properly reaped if the parent of the thread group
      was ignoring SIGCHLD, and the thread group leader had exited
      before the last sub-thread.
      
      Fixed by Ingo Molnar.

      More subtle SMP bugs in prepare_to_wait()/finish_wait(). · e220fdf7
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This time we have a SMP memory ordering issue in prepare_to_wait(),
      where we really need to make sure that subsequent tests for the
      event we are waiting for can not migrate up to before the wait
      queue has been set up.

      [PATCH] HPFS: missing lock_kernel() in hpfs_readdir() · 14c5d2d2
      René Scharfe authored
      In 2.5.x, the BKL was pushed from vfs_readdir() into the filesystem
      specific functions.  But only the unlock_kernel() made it into the HPFS
      code, lock_kernel() got lost on the way.  This rendered the filesystem
      unusable.
      
      This adds the missing lock_kernel().  It's been tested by Timo Maier who
      also reported the problem earlier today.

      [PATCH] no bio unmap on cdb copy failure · 5965168e
      Jens Axboe authored
      The previous scsi_ioctl.c patch didn't cleanup the buffer/bio in the
      error case. 
      
      Fix it by copying the command data earlier.

      [PATCH] scsi_ioctl memcpy'ing user address · 8cc86c08
      Jens Axboe authored
      James reported a bug in scsi_ioctl.c where it mem copies a user pointer
      instead of using copy_from_user(). I inadvertently introduced this one
      when getting rid of CDROM_SEND_PACKET. Here's a trivial patch to fix it.

      [PATCH] Fix 'noexec' behaviour · 58392dbd
      Ulrich Drepper authored
      We should not allow mmap() with PROT_EXEC on mounts marked "noexec",
      since otherwise there is no way for user-supplied executable loaders
      (like ld.so and emulator environments) to properly honour the
      "noexec"ness of the target.

      [PATCH] I2C: fix i2c_smbus_write_byte() for i2c-nforce2 · e9c16459
      Jean Delvare authored
      This patch fixes i2c_smbus_write_byte() being broken for i2c-nforce2.
      This causes trouble when that module is used together with eeprom (which
      is also in 2.6). We have had three user reports about the problem.
      
      Credits go to Mark D. Studebaker for finding and fixing the problem.

      [PATCH] Lastminute IEEE-1394 fixes · 9b67c27b
      Ben Collins authored
      I've got a lot more changes than what's included here.  I've put this
      down to the bear minimum to get things working sanely.
      
      Mainly, I just want to get all the people hit by this a chance to use
      2.6.0 without having to get our tree. Changes itemized:
      
       - Fix deadlock possibility in csr.c:read_maps()
       - Fix kmalloc to use ATOMIC in highlevel.c.
       - s/in_interrupt/irqs_disabled/ in ieee1394_transactions.c to fix
         warnings when transactions occured.
       - Introduce a release callback for the host driver and use it correctly.
       - Reorganize the nodemgr probe so we do an initial scan to discover
         devices, check IRM/CycleMaster, then do a final full probe when things
         are kosher. Fixes a problem where device registration and hotplug
         would cause some serious problems when a bus reset was forced in the
         middle of the probe.
