Issues that need to be handled: * Handle PIC interrupts on any CPU irrespective of the apic mode * In the apic lowest priority logical flat delivery mode, be prepared to handle the interrupt on any CPU irrespective of what the IO-APIC RTE says. * Because of above, when the IO-APIC starts handling the legacy PIC interrupt, use the same vector that is being used by the PIC while programming the corresponding IO-APIC RTE. Start with all the cpu's in the legacy PIC interrupts cfg->domain. By the time IO-APIC starts taking over the PIC interrupts, apic driver model is finalized. So depend on the assign_irq_vector() to update the cfg->domain and retain the same vector that was used by PIC before. For the logical apic flat mode, cfg->domain is updated (during the first call to assign_irq_vector()) to contain all the possible online cpu's (0xff). Vector used for the legacy PIC interrupt doesn't change when the IO-APIC starts handling the interrupt. Any interrupt migration after that doesn't change the cfg->domain or the vector used. For other apic modes like physical mode, cfg->domain is updated (during the first call to assign_irq_vector()) to the boot cpu (cpu-0), with the same vector that is being used by the PIC. When that interrupt is migrated to a different cpu, cfg->domin and the vector assigned will change accordingly. Tested-by:

Like our other pen-and-touch products, the Cintiq 24HD touch needs data to be shared between its two sensors to facilitate proximity-based palm rejection. Unlike other tablets that report sensor data through separate interfaces of the same USB device, the Cintiq 24HD touch has separate USB devices that are connected to an internal USB hub. This patch makes it possible to designate the USB VID/PID of the other device so that the two may share data. To ensure we don't accidentally link to a sensor from a physically separate device (if several have been plugged in), we limit the search to siblings (i.e., devices directly connected to the same hub).

If one includes documentation for an external tool, it should be correct. This is not: 1. Overriding the input to rngd should typically be neither necessary nor desired. This is especially so since newer versions of rngd support a number of different *types* of sources. 2. The default kernel-exported device is called /dev/hwrng not /dev/hwrandom nor /dev/hw_random (both of which were used in the past; however, kernel and udev seem to have converged on /dev/hwrng.) Overall it is better if the documentation for rngd is kept with rngd rather than in a kernel Makefile. Signed-off-by:

'struct pid' is a "variable sized struct" - a header with an array of upids at the end. The size of the array depends on a level (depth) of pid namespaces. Now a level of pidns is not limited, so 'struct pid' can be more than one page. Looks reasonable, that it should be less than a page. MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL is not calculated from PAGE_SIZE, because in this case it depends on architectures, config options and it will be reduced, if someone adds a new fields in struct pid or struct upid. I suggest to set MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL = 32, because it saves ability to expand "struct pid" and it's more than enough for all known for me use-cases. When someone finds a reasonable use case, we can add a config option or a sysctl parameter. In addition it will reduce the effect of another problem, when we have many nested namespaces and the oldest one starts dying. zap_pid_ns_processe will be called for each namespace and find_vpid will be called for each process in a namespace. find_vpid will be called minimum max_level^2 / 2 times. The reason of that is that when we found a bit in pidmap, we can't determine this pidns is top for this process or it isn't. vpid is a heavy operation, so a fork bomb, which create many nested namespace, can make a system inaccessible for a long time. For example my system becomes inaccessible for a few minutes with 4000 processes. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: return -EINVAL in response to excessive nesting, not -ENOMEM] Signed-off-by:

The dw_dmac driver was originally developed for avr32 to be used with the Synopsys DesignWare AHB DMA controller. Starting from 2.6.38, access to the device's i/o memory was done with the little-endian readl/writel functions(1) This broke the driver for the avr32 platform, because it needs big (native) endian accessors. This patch makes the endianness configurable using 'DW_DMAC_BIG_ENDIAN_IO', which will default be true for AVR32 I submitted this patch before(2) but then waited for Andy to finish other changes to the same module(3).

The genalloc code uses the bitmap API from include/linux/bitmap.h and lib/bitmap.c, which is based on long values. Both bitmap_set from lib/bitmap.c and bitmap_set_ll, which is the lockless version from genalloc.c, use BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK to set the first bits in a long in the bitmap. That one uses (1 << bits) - 1, 0b111, if you are setting the first three bits. This means that the API counts from the least significant bits (LSB from now on) to the MSB. The LSB in the first long is bit 0, then. The same works for the lookup functions. The genalloc code uses longs for the bitmap, as it should. In include/linux/genalloc.h, struct gen_pool_chunk has unsigned long bits[0] as its last member. When allocating the struct, genalloc should reserve enough space for the bitmap. This should be a proper number of longs that can fit the amount of bits in the bitmap. However, genalloc allocates an integer number of bytes that fit the amount of bits, but may not be an integer amount of longs. 9 bytes, for example, could be allocated for 70 bits. This is a problem in itself if the Least Significat Bit in a long is in the byte with the largest address, which happens in Big Endian machines. This means genalloc is not allocating the byte in which it will try to set or check for a bit. This may end up in memory corruption, where genalloc will try to set the bits it has not allocated. In fact, genalloc may not set these bits because it may find them already set, because they were not zeroed since they were not allocated. And that's what causes a BUG when gen_pool_destroy is called and check for any set bits. What really happens is that genalloc uses kmalloc_node with __GFP_ZERO on gen_pool_add_virt. With SLAB and SLUB, this means the whole slab will be cleared, not only the requested bytes. Since struct gen_pool_chunk has a size that is a multiple of 8, and slab sizes are multiples of 8, we get lucky and allocate and clear the right amount of bytes. Hower, this is not the case with SLOB or with older code that did memset after allocating instead of using __GFP_ZERO. So, a simple module as this (running 3.6.0), will cause a crash when rmmod'ed.

On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture specific page dirty bit. Thus when a page is written to via buffered write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page, page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty(). Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of problems to filesystems. The bug we observed in practice is that buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from xfs_count_page_state(). Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then page unmapped. Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty(). This is safe because for such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault(). When the dirty bit is cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in page_mkclean(). So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is dirty. Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned up variant of the patch. The patch has survived about two hours of running fsx-linux on tmpfs while heavily swapping and several days of running on out build machines where the original problem was triggered. Signed-off-by:

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "This pull request contains three fixes. Two are reverts of task_lock() removal in cgroup fork path. The optimizations incorrectly assumed that threadgroup_lock can protect process forks (as opposed to thread creations) too. Further cleanup of cgroup fork path is scheduled. The third fixes cgroup emptiness notification loss." * 'for-3.7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: Revert "cgroup: Remove task_lock() from cgroup_post_fork()" Revert "cgroup: Drop task_lock(parent) on cgroup_fork()" cgroup: notify_on_release may not be triggered in some cases

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo: "This pull request contains one patch from Dan Magenheimer to fix cancel_delayed_work() regression introduced by its reimplementation using try_to_grab_pending(). The reimplementation made it incorrectly return %true when the work item is idle. There aren't too many consumers of the return value but it broke at least ramster." * 'for-3.7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: cancel_delayed_work() should return %false if work item is idle

57b30ae7 ("workqueue: reimplement cancel_delayed_work() using try_to_grab_pending()") made cancel_delayed_work() always return %true unless someone else is also trying to cancel the work item, which is broken - if the target work item is idle, the return value should be %false. try_to_grab_pending() indicates that the target work item was idle by zero return value. Use it for return. Note that this brings cancel_delayed_work() in line with __cancel_work_timer() in return value handling. Signed-off-by:

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1056078 Profile replacement can cause long chains of profiles to build up when the profile being replaced is pinned. When the pinned profile is finally freed, it puts the reference to its replacement, which may in turn nest another call to free_profile on the stack. Because this may happen for each profile in the replacedby chain this can result in a recusion that causes the stack to overflow. Break this nesting by directly walking the chain of replacedby profiles (ie. use iteration instead of recursion to free the list). This results in at most 2 levels of free_profile being called, while freeing a replacedby chain. Signed-off-by:

If none of the elements in scrubrates[] matches, this loop will cause __amd64_set_scrub_rate() to incorrectly use the n+1th element. As the function is designed to use the final scrubrates[] element in the case of no match, we can fix this bug by simply terminating the array search at the n-1th element. Boris: this code is fragile anyway, see here why: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135102834131236&w=2 It will be rewritten more robustly soonish. Reported-by:
