Don't mark the reference per cpu data init data (so it stays around after boot) and point all impossible CPUs to it. This way they reference some valid - although shared memory. Usually this is only initialization like INIT_LIST_HEADs and there won't be races because these CPUs never run. Still somewhat hackish. Signed-off-by:

When we pull the PPP protocol off the skb, we forgot to update the hardware RX checksum. This may lead to messages such as dsl0: hw csum failure. Similarly, we need to clear the hardware checksum flag when we use the existing packet to store the decompressed result. Signed-off-by:

If we have found aliased dentry that we return, inode reference is not dropped and inode is not attached anywhere, so it seems the reference to inode is leaked in that case.

Some subsystems, such as PPP, can send negative values here. It just happened to work correctly on 32-bit with an unsigned value, but on 64-bit this explodes. Figured out by Paul Mackerras based upon several PPP crash reports. Signed-off-by:

[SPARC64]: Eliminate race condition reading Hummingbird STICK register Ensure a consistent value is read from the STICK register by ensuring that both high and low are read without high changing due to a roll over of the low register. Various Debian/SPARC users (myself include) have noticed problems with Hummingbird based systems. The symptoms are that the system time is seen to jump forward 3 days, 6 hours, 11 minutes give or take a few seconds. In many cases the system then hangs some time afterwards. I've spotted a race condition in the code to read the STICK register. I could not work out why 3d, 6h, 11m is important but guess that it is due to the 2^32 jump of STICK (forwards on one read and then the next read will seem to be backwards) during a timer interrupt. I'm guessing that a change of -2^32 will get converted to a large unsigned increment after the arithmetic manipulation between STICK, nanoseconds, jiffies etc. I did a test where I modified __hbird_read_stick to artificially inject rollover faults forcefully every few seconds. With this I saw the clock jump over 6 times in 12 hours compared to once every month or so. Signed-off-by:

There's a lack of parenthesis in fs/ufs/utils.h, so instead of the 512th byte of buffer, the usb2 pointer will point to the nth structure of type ufs_super_block_second. This can cause a mount-time oops if you're unlucky (especially with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, which is how Alexey Dobriyan saw this problem) Signed-off-by:

Fixed the refcounting on failure exits in sys_mq_open() and cleaned the logics up. Rules are actually pretty simple - dentry_open() expects vfsmount and dentry to be pinned down and it either transfers them into created struct file or drops them. Old code had been very confused in that area - if dentry_open() had failed either in do_open() or do_create(), we ended up dentry and mqueue_mnt dropped twice, once by dentry_open() cleanup and then by sys_mq_open(). Fix consists of making the rules for do_create() and do_open() same as for dentry_open() and updating the sys_mq_open() accordingly; that actually leads to more straightforward code and less work on normal path.

[BLOCK] Kill blk_attempt_remerge() It's a broken interface, it's done way too late. And apparently it triggers slab problems in recent kernels as well (most likely after the generic dispatch code was merged). So kill it, ide-cd is the only user of it. Signed-off-by:

Some widespread USB interface chips with adaptive iso endpoints hang after receiving a series of empty packets when they expect data. This completely disables audio playback on those devices. To avoid this, we have to send packets containing silence (zero samples) instead. ALSA bug: http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1585Signed-off-by:

Don't clobber register %l0 while checking TI_SYS_NOERROR value in syscall return path. This bug was introduced by: db7d9a4e Problem narrowed down by Luis F. Ortiz and Richard Mortimer. I tried using %l2 as suggested by Luis and that works for me. Looking at the code I wonder if it makes sense to simplify the code a little bit. The following works for me but I'm not sure how to exercise the "NOERROR" codepath. Signed-off-by:
