VM_IO tells the rest fo the world that the pages may have side effects on reads/writes etc, and VM_RESERVED historically told swap-out not to bother with it.

It was pointed out to me that I typo'd and lost a backslash in the PA-RISC io_remap_page_range() definition. This patch corrects the one-character typo.

I reviewed, patched, and tested ppp_async.c to implement ldisc->hangup(). This correctly terminates the PPP connection on hangup. Paul Mackerras already did an excellent job of ensuring safe shutdown and I/O completion in ldisc->close so the change is trivial: just add the ldisc->hangup and call the existing close routine.

From: <Urban.Widmark@enlight.net> The memset is because it was previously possible to send always the same CIFS fragment and use this to increase the data counters. When the data counter "exceeds" the amount of bytes expected this will return the buffer only partially initialised... With findfirst etc requests this should allow leaking kernel memory content. The other thing is that the data is only returned when data_tot and parm_tot both "exceed" the expected values. Previously it was possible to create a sequence of CIFS fragments that allowed exceeding the counters. The calling functions then would believe they received a number of bytes that does not fit into the allocated buffer.

When a system has a very large imbalance of overall memory size to ZONE_NORMAL (for example when large amounts of numa remap space are in use) page_writeback_init() may incorrectly set vm_dirty_ratio and dirty_background_ratio to zero; leading to divide by zero errors elsewhere. This patch bounds these at 1%. Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

In ia32 emulation, the amd64 kernel refuses the ioctls TIOCSBRK and TIOCCBRK with EINVAL. I've attached a patch that adds them to the compatibility list. Since all architectures have these ioctls ("m68knommu" inherits them from "m68k", "um" from its host) and use the same code, I think adding them to compat_ioctl.h is the correct choice (as opposed to adding them to arch/x86_64/ia32/ia32_ioctl.c).

When the generic IRQ patch went in, it changed the behaviour of setup_irq (compared to the previous ppc64 version) in that we now don't call the handler's enable function if it has a startup function. The XICS interrupt controller has a startup function, and so we weren't getting any interrupts through the XICS because they never got enabled. This patch adds a call to xics_enable_irq to xics_startup and fixes the problem.

Instead, tty_io.c will always copy user space data to kernel space, leaving the drivers to worry only about normal kernel buffers. No more "from_user" flag, and having the user copy in each driver. This cleans up the code and also fixes a number of locking bugs.

Mostly from Eric Biederman for supporting BIOS flash. - Move support firmware hub style lock and unlock into fhw_lock.h (from cfi_cmdset_0002) - Move cfi_varsize_frob into cfi_util from cfi_cmdset_0001.c and cfi_cmdset_0002.c - reduce gen_probe probe failuers to a debug level message - Modify cfi_fixup to take a struct mtd_info instead of a struct map_info So that the fixup routines can modify the mtd functions. - Modify cfi_cmdset_0001() to allocate and initialize the mtd structure before calling cfi_fixup. - Modify cfi_cmdset_0002() to allocate and initialize the mtd structure before calling cfi_fixup. - Refactor the hard coded fixups in cfi_cmdset_0001 and cfi_cmdset_0002 so the improved cfi_fixup infrastructure. - Rewrote amd76xrom and ichxrom. They now report their starting physical address in their name. They now both handle multiple bankwidth configurations They both can create multipe mtd devices. They both now assume the rom windows are properly opened by the BIOS or whatever runs previous to them. Their code is now synchromized so it is almost identical, and could be a starting point for a x86_rom_probe. Signed-Off-By: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

This is sane, as the driver returns the real data and the return value is for information of NAND aware filesystems.

The attached patch contains a shared Reed-Solomon Library analogous to the shared zlib. (N)AND FLASH is gaining popularity and there are a lot of ASIC/SoC/FPGA controllers around which implement hardware support for Reed-Solomon error correction. As usual they use different implementations (polynomials etc.). So it's obvious to use a shared library for the common tasks of error correction. A short scan through the kernel revealed that at least the ftape driver uses Reed-Solomon error correction. It could be easily converted to use the shared library code. The encoder/decoder code is lifted from the GPL'd userspace RS-library written by Phil Karn. I modified/wrapped it to provide the different functions which we need in the MTD/NAND code. The library is tested in extenso under various MTD/NAND configurations. The lib should be usable for other purposes right out of the box. Adjustment for currently not implemented functionality is an easy task. I'm willing to take the maintainership of the library.
