From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> Remove spurious BKL acquisitions in /proc/. The BKL is not required to access nr_threads for reporting, and get_locks_status() takes it internally, wrapping all operations with it.

lock_kernel() need not be held across truncate.

`attr' is on the stack, and the inode's contents can change as soon as we return from inode_change_ok() anyway. I can't see anything which is actually being locked in there.

From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> The current numa meminfo code exports (via sysfs) pgdat->node_size, as totalram. This variable is consistently used elsewhere to mean "the number of physical pages that this particular node spans". This is _not_ what we want to see from meminfo, which is: "how much actual memory does this node have?" The following patch removes pgdat->node_size, and replaces it with ->node_spanned_pages. This is to avoid confusion with a new variable, node_present_pages, which is the _actual_ value that we want to export in meminfo. Most of the patch is a simple s/node_size/node_spanned_pages/. The node_size() macro is also removed, and replaced with new ones for node_{spanned,present}_pages() to avoid confusion. We were bitten by this problem in this bug: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=818 Compiled and tested on NUMA-Q.

From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Manfred's latest page unmapping debug patch. The patch adds support for a special debug mode to both the page and the slab allocator: Unused pages are removed from the kernel linear mapping. This means that now any access to freed memory will cause an immediate exception. Right now, read accesses remain totally unnoticed and write accesses may be catched by the slab poisoning, but usually far too late for a meaningfull bug report. The implementation is based on a new arch dependant function, kernel_map_pages(), that removes the pages from the linear mapping. It's right now only implemented for i386. Changelog: - Add kernel_map_pages() for i386, based on change_page_attr. If DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is not set, then the function is an empty stub. The stub is in <linux/mm.h>, i.e. it exists for all archs. - Make change_page_attr irq safe. Note that it's not fully irq safe due to the lack of the tlb flush ipi, but it's good enough for kernel_map_pages(). Another problem is that kernel_map_pages is not permitted to fail, thus PSE is disabled if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled - use kernel_map pages for the page allocator. - use kernel_map_pages for the slab allocator. I couldn't resist and added additional debugging support into mm/slab.c: * at kfree time, the complete backtrace of the kfree caller is stored in the freed object. * a ptrinfo() function that dumps all known data about a kernel virtual address: the pte value, if it belongs to a slab cache the cache name and additional info. * merging of common code: new helper function obj_dbglen and obj_dbghdr for the conversion between the user visible object pointers/len and the actual, internal addresses and len values.

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> mremap's move_vma VM_LOCKED case was still wrong. If the do_munmap unmaps a part of new_vma, then its vm_start and vm_end from before cannot both be the right addresses for the make_pages_present range, and may BUG() there. We need [new_addr, new_addr+new_len) to be locked down; but move_page_tables already transferred the locked pages [new_addr, new_addr+old_len), and they're either held in a VM_LOCKED vma throughout, or temporarily in no vma: in neither case can be swapped out, so no need to run over that range again.

This includes the remainder of arch-specific part of the SH merge. This patch only effects arch/sh and include/asm-sh, against current BK.

Okay, since now corruption happens and there are some other issues to be resolved ("bad: scheduling while atomic" and "/proc/ide/hdX/identify") better set it by default to n for 2.5.74, also mark it EXPERIMENTAL.

This patch for 2.5 copies into unusual_devs.h an entry that is present in 2.4 but missing here. It also adds back the IGNORE_SER flag with a dummy value, just for backward compatibility.

dev->udev was set to NULL to indicate a device disconnect but we need this value for usb_buffer_free() when device is still opened and cleanup is delayed until skel_release(). I've added a dev->present for preventing device read, write and ioctl. Also URB_NO_DMA_MAP is changed to URB_NO_TRANSFER_DMA_MAP and a unused var is removed.
