      [PATCH] Fix reiserfs deadlock · b9251b82
      Jan Kara authored 
      reiserfs_cache_default_acl() should return whether we successfully found
the acl or not.  We have to return correct value even if reiserfs_get_acl()
returns error code and not just 0.  Otherwise callers such as
reiserfs_mkdir() can unnecessarily lock the xattrs and later functions such
as reiserfs_new_inode() fail to notice that we have already taken the lock
and try to take it again with obvious consequences.

      [PATCH] Altix snsc: duplicate kobject fix · 8c4335a8
      akpm@osdl.org authored 
      from: Greg Howard <ghoward@sgi.com>

Fix Altix system controller (snsc) device names to include the slot number
of the blade whose associated system controller is the target of the device
interface.  Including the slot number avoids a problem we're currently
having where slots within the same enclosure are attempting to create
multiple kobjects with identical names.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Fix a race in the free_iommu path · 5b201927
      Mike Waychison authored 
      We do this by removing a micro-optimization that tries to avoid grabbing
the iommu_bitmap_lock spinlock and using a bus-locked operation.

This still races with other simultaneous alloc_iommu or free_iommu(size >
1) which both use bus-unlocked operations.

The end result of this race is eventually ending up with an
iommu_gart_bitmap that has bits errornously set all over, making large
contiguous iommu space allocations fail with 'PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space'.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Pass -32 to the assembler when compiling the 32bit vsyscall pages · ddbe3eec
      Andi Kleen authored 
      This quietens warnings and actually fixes a bug.  The unwind tables would
come out wrong without -32, causing pthread cancellation during them to
crash in the gcc runtime.

The problem seems to only happen with newer binutils (it doesn't happen
with 2.16.91.0.2 but happens wit 2.16.91.0.5)

Thanks to David Altobelli <david.altobelli@hp.com> and Brian Baker
<Brian.B@hp.com> for test case and initial analysis.

      [PATCH] add migratepage address space op to shmem · 304dbdb7
      Lee Schermerhorn authored 
      Basic problem: pages of a shared memory segment can only be migrated once.

In 2.6.16 through 2.6.17-rc1, shared memory mappings do not have a
migratepage address space op.  Therefore, migrate_pages() falls back to
default processing.  In this path, it will try to pageout() dirty pages.
Once a shared memory page has been migrated it becomes dirty, so
migrate_pages() will try to page it out.  However, because the page count
is 3 [cache + current + pte], pageout() will return PAGE_KEEP because
is_page_cache_freeable() returns false.  This will abort all subsequent
migrations.

This patch adds a migratepage address space op to shared memory segments to
avoid taking the default path.  We use the "migrate_page()" function
because it knows how to migrate dirty pages.  This allows shared memory
segment pages to migrate, subject to other conditions such as # pte's
referencing the page [page_mapcount(page)], when requested.

I think this is safe.  If we're migrating a shared memory page, then we
found the page via a page table, so it must be in memory.

Can be verified with memtoy and the shmem-mbind-test script, both

      [PATCH] x86_64: sparsemem does not need node_mem_map · 3b5fd59f
      Andy Whitcroft authored 
      Seems we are trying to init the node_mem_map when we don't need to, for
example when SPARSEMEM is enabled.  This causes the error below during
compilation.  Use CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP to gate allocation and init.

  arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c: In function `setup_node_zones':
  arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c:191: error: structure has no member

      [PATCH] isdn4linux: Siemens Gigaset base driver: fix disconnect handling · 73a88814
      Tilman Schmidt authored 
      Fix a possible Oops in the Siemens Gigaset base driver when the device is
unplugged while an ISDN connection is still active, and makes sure that the
isdn4linux link level (LL) is properly informed if a connection is broken
by the USB cable being unplugged.

- Avoid unsafe checks of URB status fields outside the URB completion
  handlers, keep track of in-use URBs myself instead.

- If an isochronous transfer URB completes with status==0, also check the
  status of the frame descriptors.

- Verify length of interrupt messages received from the device.

- Align the length limit on transmitted AT commands with the device
  documentation.

- In case of AT response receive overrun, keep newly arrived instead of old
  unread data.

- Remove redundant check of device ID in the USB probe function.

- Correct and improve some comments and formatting.
