      [PATCH] DVB major number · 01fedaf9
      Alan Cox authored
      The DVB merge forgot an important change - DVB is currently using 
      major 250, which is "local" while devices.txt (and thus FSSTND/LSB) require
      it uses the officially allocated 212 major.
      
      Fortunately most 2.6 users don't currently use DVB and vendors ship devfs
      or versions of makedev that do the right thing and generate 212 majors.

      [PATCH] swapoff mmap_sem deadlock · b7ae29f5
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Updating the mm lock ordering documentation drew attention to the fact that
      we were wrong to blithely add down_read(&mm->mmap_sem) to swapoff's
      unuse_process, while it holds swapcache page lock: not very likely, but it
      could deadlock against, say, mlock faulting a page back in from swap.
      
      But it looks like these days it's safe to drop and reacquire page lock if
      down_read_trylock fails: the page lock is held to stop try_to_unmap
      unmapping the page's ptes as fast as try_to_unuse is mapping them back in;
      but the recent fix for get_user_pages works to prevent that too.

      [PATCH] install_page vs. vmtruncate · 5136181d
      Hugh Dickins authored
      BK is still missing one piece for Oleg's install_page/vmtruncate races. 
      Oleg didn't explicitly ACK this, but I think he did implicitly: Oleg?
      
      The previous patch to install_page, returning an error if !page_mapping
      once page_table_lock is held, is not enough to guard against vmtruncate.
      
      When unmap_mapping_range already did this vma, but truncate_inode_pages has
      not yet done this page, page->mapping will still be set, but we must now
      refrain from inserting the page into the page table.
      
      Could check truncate_count, but that would need caller to read and pass it
      down.  Instead, recheck page->index against i_size, which is updated before
      unmap_mapping_range.  Better check page->mapping too: not really necessary,
      but it's accidental that index is left when mapping is reset.
      
      Also, callers are expecting -EINVAL for beyond end of file, not -EAGAIN.

      [PATCH] selinux: fix clearing of new personality bit on security transitions · ddd443e4
      Stephen D. Smalley authored
      This patch moves the clearing of the new personality bit from
      selinux_bprm_apply_creds (called from compute_creds) to
      selinux_bprm_set_security (called from prepare_binprm).  This ensures that the
      bit is cleared at the same point in exec processing as for setuid/setgid
      binaries, prior to setting up the new image.

      [PATCH] BIO page refcounting fix · dac25d20
      Jens Axboe authored
      Hopefully fixes the free-of-a-freed-page BUG caused during CDRW writing.
      
      This also fixes a problem in the bouncing for io errors (it needs to free
      the pages and clear the BIO_UPTODATE flag, not set it.  it's already set.
      passing -EIO to bio_endio() takes care of that).

      [PATCH] compat_clock_getres shouldn't return -EFAULT if res == NULL · 09e77fca
      Arun Sharma authored
      For clock_getres(clockid_t clock_id, struct timespec *res), the specification
      says "If res is NULL, the clock resolution is not returned." So this kind of
      call should succeed.  The current implementation returns -EFAULT.
      
      The patch fixes the bug in compat_clock_getres().

      [PATCH] fixes for rcu_offline_cpu, rcu_move_batch · 80554084
      Nathan Lynch authored
      rcu_offline_cpu and rcu_move_batch have been broken since the list_head's
      in struct rcu_head and struct rcu_data were replaced with singly-linked
      lists:
      
        CC      kernel/rcupdate.o
      kernel/rcupdate.c: In function `rcu_move_batch':
      kernel/rcupdate.c:222: warning: passing arg 2 of `list_add_tail' from
      incompatible pointer type

      kernel/rcupdate.c:236: warning: label `unlock' defined but not used
      
      Kernel crashes when you try to offline a cpu, not surprisingly.
      
      It also looks like rcu_move_batch isn't preempt-safe so I touched that up,
      and got rid of an unused label in rcu_offline_cpu.

      [sound/oss i810] misc small changes · 8ada2c7f
      John W. Linville authored
      Attached is a second patch to account for (most of) Herbert Xu's
      comments.
      
      I have left-out the part about changing state->card to a
      local variable where it is used a lot.  Unfortunately, that usage is
      somewhat pervasive and I would prefer to make those changes in a separate
      patch -- after I have had a chance to do some testing.
      
      If you'd prefer one patch to account for the original plus these
      changes, let me know and I'll be happy to provide it.

      [sound/oss i810] add MMIO DSP support · d1d60dbd
      John W. Linville authored
      Enclosed is a patch for the i810_audio OSS driver to support using
      memory-mapped I/O for those chipsets that support it.
      
       o Added a family of macros -- I810_IOREADx() and I810_IOWRITEx() -- that
      key off the existing card->use_mmio flag to select between using readx/writex
      or inx/outx for I/O operations.
      
       o Converted existing inx/outx invocations to use
      I810_IOREADx/I810_IOWRITEx instead.
      
       o Changed GET_CIV(), GET_LVI, and CIV_TO_LVI() not only to use
      I810_IOREADx/I810_IOWRITEx but also to take "card" (i.e. struct i810_card)
      paramter.
      
       o Removed check for "Pure MMIO interfaces" in i810_probe() -- replaced w/
      (relocated) check for no I/O resources available.

      [PATCH] SATAPI despite no data · 059507ec
      Pat LaVarre authored
      I see we lost this source line in the changes since 2.6.7.  But if I try
      SATAPI expecting no data without this source line, then my ata_piix.ko
      promptly dies with such complaints as:
      
      kernel: irq 18: nobody cared!
      
      With this source line, I find I can expect no data, though I still have
      to add auto sense to overcome:

      Margit Schubert-While authored
      * In the card initialization routine, we try to set the

        the device continues to react normally.
        Fix is simple, do not try to configure output power.
        (which I believe we should not be doing anyway as it is
         probably against local country regulations)
