This change set is wrong. The affected functions cannot be called from
an interrupt context, because they may process large buffers. In this

dvb_dmx_swfilter_packets(), could be called only from a tasklet.

This change set does hide some strong design bugs in dm1105.c and

Please revert this change set and do fix the bugs in dm1105.c and

It is a very bad idea to call the demuxer to process data buffers with

I agree, this is bad.  The demuxer is far too much work to be done with
IRQs off.  IMHO, even doing it under a spin-lock is excessive.  It should
be a mutex.  Drivers should use a work-queue to feed the demuxer.

Thank you for testing this changeset and discovering the issues on it.

As reported by David Engel <david@istwok.net>, ATSC115 doesn't work
fine with mythtv. This software opens both analog and dvb interfaces of
saa7134.

What happens is that some tuner commands are going to the wrong place,
as shown at the logs:

Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-0061: using tuner params #0 (ntsc)
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-0061: freq = 67.25 (1076), range = 0, config = 0xce, cb = 0x01
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-0061: Freq= 67.25 MHz, V_IF=45.75 MHz, Offset=0.00 MHz, div=1808
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner 1-0061: tv freq set to 67.25
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-000a: using tuner params #0 (ntsc)
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-000a: freq = 67.25 (1076), range = 0, config = 0xce, cb = 0x01
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-000a: Freq= 67.25 MHz, V_IF=45.75 MHz, Offset=0.00 MHz, div=1808
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-000a: tv 0x07 0x10 0xce 0x01
Feb 12 20:37:48 opus kernel: tuner-simple 1-0061: tv 0x07 0x10 0xce 0x01

This happens due to a hack at TUV1236D analog setup, where it replaces
tuner address, at 0x61 for 0x0a, in order to save a few memory bytes.

The code assumes that nobody else would try to access the tuner during
that setup, but the point is that there's no lock to protect such
access. So, this opens the possibility of race conditions to happen.

Instead of hacking tuner address, this patch uses a temporary var with
the proper tuner value to be used during the setup. This should save
the issue, although we should consider to write some analog/digital
lock at saa7134 driver.

uids in namespaces other than init don't get a sysfs entry.

For those in the init namespace, while we're waiting to remove
the sysfs entry for the uid the uid is still hashed, and
alloc_uid() may re-grab that uid without getting a new
reference to the user_ns, which we've already put in free_user
before scheduling remove_user_sysfs_dir().

ASoC supports both explicit codec drivers for AC97 devices and a simple
driver which uses the standard ALSA AC97 framework for codec support.
When used with the generic AC97 codec support that will provide the

Change HP dv7 quirk: although reported to work with hp-m4 model
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445321), the original
report doesn't contain info about testing of internal microphone.

Recently I received a report about internal mic not working
(https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44855#c193), this must be
related with the forced line in on pin 0x0e done with hp-m4 model. Thus
change the current quirk from STAC_HP_M4 to STAC_HP_DV5, later reported
to be fixed on a provided kernel with this change
(https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44855#c196).

When a non-wimax interface is looked up by the stack, a bad pointer is

This dummy code should trigger the bug:

The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if
CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.  This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations
from spinlocked regions.

Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking
will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite.  Hence we won't get the
might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy
callsites.

Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt().  Now, if someone
runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning
if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little
brain and none of them documented their interface requirements.  I have no
idea what this patch will do.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/slab-2.6:
  mm: Export symbol ksize()

A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit
31a12666 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic
fix").  The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and
look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no
more work to be done.

But the !done condition was dropped from the test.  This means that any
time the page writeout loop breaks (eg.  due to nr_to_write == 0), we
will set index to 0, then goto again.  This will set done_index to
index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the
function.  When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout,
we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0.

This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to
start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and
caused bugzilla entry

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604

about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically.

With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly
5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).
