kernel BUG at drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c:165!
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

How?

mdiobus_alloc() sets bus->state = MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED.

mdiobus_register() sets bus->state = MDIOBUS_REGISTERED but then can
   fail (mdiobus_scan()) returning an error to the caller.

The caller aborts correctly with mdiobus_free() which does:
        if (bus->state == MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED) {
                kfree(bus);
                return;
        }

        BUG_ON(bus->state != MDIOBUS_UNREGISTERED);

The enc28j60 driver reads incoming packets in the process (workqueue) context,
not in a tasklet or the interrupt context.  Thus, we should use netif_rx_ni()
to deliver those packets to the networking layer, instead of netif_rx(). This
way incoming packets don't wait in the incoming queue for the next IRQ to be
serviced.

The TLAN chip does not support tranmissions smaller than 64
bytes. Smaller transfers need to be padded up to that size. This was
broken by commit id 41873e9a ("tlan:
get rid of padding buffer").

This patch fixes an inconsistency in nfnetlink_conntrack.h that
I introduced myself. The problem is that CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC is
missing from enum ctattr_natseq. This inconsistency may lead to
problems in the message parsing in userspace (if the message
contains the CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes, of course).

This patch breaks backward compatibility, however, the only known
client of this code is libnetfilter_conntrack which indeed crashes
because it assumes the existence of CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC to do
the parsing.

The CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes were introduced in 2.6.25.

When a cgroup is removed, it's unlinked from its parent's children list,
but not actually freed until the last dentry on it is released (at which
point cgrp->root->number_of_cgroups is decremented).

Currently rebind_subsystems checks for the top cgroup's child list being
empty in order to rebind subsystems into or out of a hierarchy - this can
result in the set of subsystems bound to a hierarchy being
removed-but-not-freed cgroup.

The simplest fix for this is to forbid remounts that change the set of
subsystems on a hierarchy that has removed-but-not-freed cgroups.  This
bug can be reproduced via:

mkdir /mnt/cg
mount -t cgroup -o ns,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg
mkdir /mnt/cg/foo
sleep 1h < /mnt/cg/foo &
rmdir /mnt/cg/foo
mount -t cgroup -o remount,ns,devices,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg
kill $!

Though the above will cause oops in -mm only but not mainline, but the bug
can cause memory leak in mainline (and even oops)

VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to

VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must

after parsing early boot parameters.

An example calling sequence which we did see:

copy_user_highpage -> kmap_atomic -> flush_tlb_page -> _tlbil_va

We got interrupted after setting up the MAS registers before the
tlbwe and the interrupt handler that caused the interrupt also did
a kmap_atomic (ide code) and thus on returning from the interrupt
the MAS registers no longer contained the proper values.

Since we dont save/restore MAS registers for normal interrupts we
need to disable interrupts in _tlbil_va to ensure atomicity.

For the console, there is a 1:1 mapping of glyphs which cannot be found
in the current font.  This seems to be meant as a kind of 'emergency
fallback' for fonts without unicode mapping which otherwise would
display nothing readable on the screen.

At the moment it affects all chars for which no substitution character
is defined.  In particular this means that for all chars (>= 128) where
there is no iso88591-1/unicode character (e.g.  control character area)
you'll get the very strange 1:1 mapping of the (cp437) graphics card
glyphs.

I'm pretty sure that the 1:1 mapping should only affect strict ASCII
code characters, i.e.  chars < 128.

The patch limits the mapping as it probably was meant anyway.

There is a major bug in the cp437 to unicode translation table.  Char
0x7c is mapped to U+00a5 which is the Yen sign and wrong.  The right
mapping is U+00a6 (broken bar).

Furthermore, a mapping for U+00b4 (a widely used character) is missing
even though easily possible.

The patch fixes these, as well as it provides a few other useful
mappings.

The changes are as follows:

  0x0f (enhancement) enables a sort of currency symbol
  0x27 (bug) enables a sort of acute accent which is a widely used character
  0x44 (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic capital letter eth
