Allocating more than 4 MB memory for the GBE (SGI O2) framebuffer completely breakfs gbefb support at the moment. According to comments on #mipslinux, more than 4 MB has never worked correctly in Linux. Therefore, the default should be 4 MB. Signed-off-by:

I'm getting oopses with snd-usb-audio in 32-bit compat environments: control_compat.c:get_ctl_type() doesn't initialize 'info', so 'itemlist[uinfo->value.enumerated.item]' in usbmixer.c:mixer_ctl_selector_info() might access random memory (The 'if ((int)uinfo->value.enumerated.item >= cval->max)' doesn't fix all problems because of the unsigned -> signed conversion.)

Only scan I2C address 0x2d. This is the default address and no IT87xxF chip was ever seen on I2C at a different address. These chips are better accessed through their ISA interface anyway. This fixes bug #5889, although it doesn't address the whole class of problems. We'd need the ability to blacklist arbitrary I2C addresses on systems known to contain I2C devices which behave badly when probed. Signed-off-by:

Fix a deadlock possible in the ext2 file system implementation. This deadlock occurs when a file is removed from an ext2 file system which was mounted with the "sync" mount option. The problem is that ext2_xattr_delete_inode() was invoking the routine, sync_dirty_buffer(), using a buffer head which was previously locked via lock_buffer(). The first thing that sync_dirty_buffer() does is to lock the buffer head that it was passed. It does this via lock_buffer(). Oops. The solution is to unlock the buffer head in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() before invoking sync_dirty_buffer(). This makes the code in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() obey the same locking rules as all other callers of sync_dirty_buffer() in the ext2 file system implementation. Signed-off-by:

If you set network interface down and up again, the IPv6 address autoconfiguration does not work. 'ip addr' shows that the link-local address is in tentative state. We don't even react to periodical router advertisements. During NETDEV_DOWN we clear IF_READY, and we don't set it back in NETDEV_UP. While starting to perform DAD on the link-local address, we notice that the device is not in IF_READY, and we abort autoconfiguration process (which would eventually send router solicitations).

Unfortunately, the reiserfs_attrs_cleared bit in the superblock flag can lie. File systems have been observed with the bit set, yet still contain garbage in the stat data field, causing unpredictable results. This patch backs out the enable-by-default behavior. It eliminates the changes from: d50a5cd860ce721dbeac6a4f3c6e42abcde68cd8, and ef5e5414e7a83eb9b4295bbaba5464410b11e030. Signed-off-by:

2.6.15's hugepage faulting introduced huge_pages_needed accounting into hugetlbfs: to count how many pages are already in cache, for spot check on how far a new mapping may be allowed to extend the file. But it's muddled: each hugepage found covers HPAGE_SIZE, not PAGE_SIZE. Once pages were already in cache, it would overshoot, wrap its hugepages count backwards, and so fail a harmless repeat mapping with -ENOMEM. Fixes the problem found by Don Dupuis. Signed-off-by:

sys_shmdt() can manage shm segments which are covered by multiple vmas. (This can happen when a user uses mprotect() after shmat().) This works well if shm is aligned to PAGE_SIZE, but if not, the last segment cannot be detached. It is because a comparison in sys_shmdt() (vma->vm_end - addr) < size addr == return address of shmat() size == shmsize, argments to shmget() size should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE before being compared with vma->vm_end, which is aligned.

In 2.6.14, we had the following definition of _GLOBAL() in include/asm-ppc/processor.h: #define _GLOBAL(n)\ .stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\ .globl n;\ n: In 2.6.15, as part of the great powerpc merge, we moved this definition to include/asm-powerpc/ppc_asm.h, where it appears (to 32-bit code) as: #define _GLOBAL(n) \ .text; \ .stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\ .globl n; \ n: Mostly, this is fine. However, we also have the following, in arch/ppc/boot/common/util.S: .section ".relocate_code","xa" [...] _GLOBAL(flush_instruction_cache) [...] _GLOBAL(flush_data_cache) [...] The addition of the .text section definition in the definition of _GLOBAL overrides the .relocate_code section definition. As a result, these two functions don't end up in .relocate_code, so they don't get relocated correctly, and the boot fails. There's another suspicious-looking usage at kernel/swsusp.S:37 that someone should look into. I did not exhaustively search the source tree, though. The following is the minimal patch that fixes the immediate problem. I could easily be convinced that the _GLOBAL definition should be modified to remove the ".text;" line either instead of, or in addition to, this fix.

e.g. The sx8 driver uses names like sx8/0. This would make a md component dev name like /sys/block/md0/md/dev-sx8/0 which is not allowed. So we change the '/' to '!' just like fs/partitions/check.c(register_disk) does. Signed-off-by:

With the latest 2.6.15 kernel builds for alpha on Debian, we ran into a problem with undefined references to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer() in a couple of kernel modules (xfs.ko and drm.ko; see http://bugs.debian.org/347556). It looks like people have been trying to out-clever each other wrt the definition of "inline" on this architecture :), with the result that __cmpxchg(), which must be inlined so the compiler can see its argument is const, is not guaranteed to be inlined. Indeed, it was not being inlined when building with -Os. The attached patch fixes the issue by adding an __attribute__((always_inline)) explicitly to the definition of __cmpxchg() instead of relying on redefines of "inline" elsewhere to make this happen.

Don't mark the reference per cpu data init data (so it stays around after boot) and point all impossible CPUs to it. This way they reference some valid - although shared memory. Usually this is only initialization like INIT_LIST_HEADs and there won't be races because these CPUs never run. Still somewhat hackish. Signed-off-by:
