blk_rq_map_user() is a bit of a hack currently, since it drops back to kmalloc() if bio_map_user() fails. This is unfortunate since it means we do no real segment or size checking (and the request segment counts contain crap, already found one bug in a scsi lld). It's also pretty nasty for > PAGE_SIZE requests, as we attempt to do higher order page allocations. Even worse still, ide-cd will drop back to PIO for non-sg/bio requests. All in all, very suboptimal. This patch adds bio_copy_user() which simply sets up a bio with kernel pages and copies data as needed for reads and writes. It also changes bio_map_user() to return an error pointer like bio_copy_user(), so we can return something sane to the user instead of always -ENOMEM. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves xfrm[46]_tunnel_check_size() into xfrm[46]_output.c where it can be made static since it's only used there. While moving the icmp.h inclusions over I also discovered that the tunnel files are missing an inclusion of net/protocol.h. So I've added them as well. Signed-off-by:

This is a couple of clean-ups stemming from the xfrm_output change. I should've removed the inet_ecn.h inclusions in that change as the ECN code has been moved to xfrm[46]_output.c. This patch does exactly that. Signed-off-by:

Previously, fatfs was using NLS_DEFAULT if users didn't specify the codepage or iocharset option. This became cause of trouble (filename access). This patch removes the complicated default config in kernel. Instead of it, by default, fatfs uses builtin nls ("default"), also reports it and mounts as read-only. This default will limit the access more or less. Note: If peoples want to write on this default, it still can switch by remount. Therefore, basically users will need to specify mount options always. ("codepage" for msdos, and "codepage" and "iocharset" for vfat) However, it can be done simply by script or shell alias or something else in userland. Thanks to Andries Brouwer for your many advice.

There is a lonstanding off-by-one error that results from an incorrect comparison when checking whether a process has consumed CPU time in excess of its RLIMIT_CPU limits. This means, for example, that if we use setrlimit() to set the soft CPU limit (rlim_cur) to 5 seconds and the hard limit (rlim_max) to 10 seconds, then the process only receives a SIGXCPU signal after consuming 6 seconds of CPU time, and, if it continues consuming CPU after handling that signal, only receives SIGKILL after consuming 11 seconds of CPU time. The fix is trivial. Signed-off-by: -

There's a stupid error in the fall back logic, it fails to increment the user pointer so the wave file is corrupt. We should also clear last_sense just to be sure. Signed-off-by:

Here are some oops I found in error paths in the mounting pathes while debugging something else... I sent it out a while ago, but it didn't seem to get any traction.... The nfs_fill_super() fix is obvious and in nfs4_fill_super(), the server->client ptr needs to be set before the cl_idmap check, since rpc_shutdown_client() needs it when the check fails.

Actually, the problem has its origin in my removal of all in-kernel syscalls (except execve, which is non-trivial) earlier this year. This change was blindly reverted by the maintainer, while at the same time the local errno variable was removed. See also http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/hist/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/tda= 1004x.c This patch is the one that was already merged earlier. I'm now also removing the definitions for the kernel syscalls on i386 to make it harder to reintroduce them again. This was already done for ppc64, the others should probably follow. Signed-off-by:

The "vector" terminology is architecture-dependent. The PCI MSI interface actually deals with Linux IRQ numbers (i.e., things you can pass to request_irq()), and we shouldn't confuse things by calling them "vectors" just because we're using MSI rather than an IOSAPIC. Signed-off-by:

Second half of MSI rewrite: fix the API and update documentation. Split enabling MSI and MSI-X to separate pci_enable_msi()/pci_disable_msi() and pci_enable_msix()/pci_disable_msix() functions. free_irq() no longer has the side effect of freeing interrupt vectors (so a device driver can do multiple request_irq()/free_irq() cycles on the same MSI/MSI_X vector).

On a system with a lot of nodes, 4 lines of output per node is a lot to have to sit through as the system comes up, especially if you're on the other end of a slow serial link. The information is valuable though, so keep it around for the system logger. This patch makes the printks for the memory stats use KERN_DEBUG instead of the default loglevel. Signed-off-by:

Rewrite/cleanup of the SLB management code. This removes nearly all the SLB related code from arch/ppc64/kernel/stab.c and puts a rewritten version in arch/ppc64/mm, where it better belongs. The main SLB miss path is in assembler and the other routines have been cleaned up and streamlined. Notable changes: - Ugly bitfields no longer used for generating SLB entries. - slb_allocate() (the main SLB miss routine) is now in assembler, and all the data it uses is stored in the PACA. - The mm context is now copied into the PACA at context switch time, to avoid looking up the thread struct on SLB miss. - An SLB miss will now never (directly) result in a call to do_page_fault. If we get a miss on a totally bogus address the handler will now put in an SLB referencing VSID 0. This will never have any pages, so we'll get the (fatal) page fault shortly afterwards. This simplifies the SLB entry and exit paths. - The round-robin pointer in the PACA now references the last-used instead of next-to-use SLB slot, which simplifies the asm for updating it slightly. - Unify do_slb_bolted with the general SLB miss path. There is now one SLB miss handler, in assembler, and called with only the low-level exception prolog (EXCEPTION_PROLOG_[PI]SERIES rather than EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON) and minimal extra save/restore logic. - Streamlines the exception entry/exit path of the SLB miss handler to shave a few cycles off. The most significant change is that the RI bit is left off throughout the whole handler, which avoids an extra mtmsrd to turn it back off on the exit path. Signed-off-by:

Both arch/ppc64/kernel/ras.c and arch/ppc64/kernel/rtasd.c have a spinlock variable declared static called "log_lock". Since the code in these files interact quit a lot, having two different locks with identical names is manifestly confusing. This patch renames both locks to something a little clearer. In the case of ras.c it also renames the buffer protected by the lock to a more usefullly greppable name. Signed-off-by:
