There is a small SMP race in ip6_del_rt where we maybe dereferencing a dst that has been freed. This patch fixes it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Found another error-path dst leak. If the idev->dead check is triggered in ipv6_add_addr the rt entry will leak. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

From: <tglx@linutronix.de> To make spinlock/rwlock initialization consistent all over the kernel, this patch converts explicit lock-initializers into spin_lock_init() and rwlock_init() calls. Currently, spinlocks and rwlocks are initialized in two different ways: lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED spin_lock_init(&lock) rwlock = RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED rwlock_init(&rwlock) this patch converts all explicit lock initializations to spin_lock_init() or rwlock_init(). (Besides consistency this also helps automatic lock validators and debugging code.) The conversion was done with a script, it was verified manually and it was reviewed, compiled and tested as far as possible on x86, ARM, PPC. There is no runtime overhead or actual code change resulting out of this patch, because spin_lock_init() and rwlock_init() are macros and are thus equivalent to the explicit initialization method. That's the second batch of the unifying patches.

This fixes a problem introduced in the previous set of driver model changes that has been seen by a lot of people (most notibly the greater than 256 pty users, but others might also be hitting this without realizing it.) Also add a comment so we don't try to "fix" this again. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

If you call drivers/md/dm-io.c:resize_pool on an empty pool and mempool_create is unable to make the pool, the condition is not handled correctly, resulting in an oops in mempool_destroy. Trivial fix.

Minor changes required to port kprobes for sparc64. - arch_prepare_kprobe() returns an integer. - added arch_remove_kprobe(). - changes to access copy of original instruction, since kprobe_opcode_t insn[MAX_INSN_SIZE] is moved from struct kprobe to a struct arch_specific_insn.

released the tasklist_lock. Since it released the lock, the process lists may not be valid any more, and we must repeat the loop rather than continue with the next parent. Use -EAGAIN to show this condition (separate from the normal -EFAULT that may happen if rusage information could not be copied to user space).

The patch adds a check at the beginning of i2c_del_adapter in case someone attempts to remove an adapter that was never added in the first place. This sounds like a good safety, as doing so will lead to an oops at the moment. Also, I have a need for it in the latest version of my i2c-amd756-s4882 patch. I need to remove the original adapter and install the virtual ones instead, but I have no way to know if the original adapter was succesfully added beforehand or not.

In big endian machines, the read*/write* accessors do a byteswap for an inherently little endian PCI bus. However, rivafb puts the hardwire in big endian register access, thus the byteswap is not needed. So for 16- and 32-bit access, instead of read*/write*, use __raw_read*/__raw_write* for all archs.

The patch below fixes two flaws in minix_clear_inode. The first is that it tests bh which is never initialized. (&bh is a parameter of minix_V1_raw_inode, but that routine can fail and return before it has set bh) The second is that generic_delete_inode() goes BUG() in case inode->i_state != I_CLEAR. Clearly, it is expected that inode->i_sb->s_op->delete_inode does a clear_inode() at some point. But minix_delete_inode() calls minix_free_inode() and that routine can print an error and return early, before calling clear_inode().

ppdev's ioctls are not available for 32bit apps on 64bit systems. There are four ioctls which take no argument at all (so they are compatible between 32bit and 64bit), these numbers do not clash with any other ioctl code, and so I see no reason why not applying patch below. It solves problem VMware users are faced on 64bit systems if they want to use direct access to the parallel port.

When your plug-n-play BIOS is truly broken and generates a fault during use, we report this and suggest disabling it. The message produced suggests using "nobiospnp" to achive this, the correct option is "pnpbios=off". This patch upates the message.
