      [PATCH] Fix nobh_prepare_write() race · b12088bf
      Andrew Morton authored
      Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com> points out a race between
      nobh_prepare_write() and end_buffer_read_sync().  end_buffer_read_sync()
      calls unlock_buffer(), waking the nobh_prepare_write() thread, which
      immediately frees the buffer_head.  end_buffer_read_sync() then calls
      put_bh() which decrements b_count for the already freed structure.  The
      SLAB_DEBUG code detects the slab corruption.
      
      We fix this by giving nobh_prepare_write() a private buffer_head end_o
      handler which doesn't touch the buffer's contents after unlocking it.

      [PATCH] CONFIG_LBD fixes · d67c0fd5
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@sgi.com>
      
      Several functions in buffer.c are using unsigned long where they should be
      using sector_t.
      
      Also, use pgoff_t in several places so it is easier to tell what is beingused
      as a pagecache index, what is being used as a disk index and what is being
      used as an offset-into-page.

      [PATCH] fix oops in emu10k1_wavein_open() error recovery · 1cd4dae0
      Andrew Morton authored
      If a large pci_alloc_consistent() GFP_ATOMIC allocation fails this driver's
      recovery code will call emu10k1_wavein_close() far earlier than it should: it
      goes splat in emu10k1_timer_uninstall().
      
      Fix it by simply removing that call: we haven't allocated any resources yet
      anyway.
      
      Note that one of the callers of emu10k1_wavein_open(), emu10k1_audio_read()
      will sit there stupidly retrying the open.  But it has a sleep in there so
      something might eventually give way.

      [PATCH] i2o subsystem minor bugfixes · 50d89de7
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Markus Lidel <Markus.Lidel@shadowconnect.com>
      
      drivers/message/i2o/i2o_block.c:
      
       - corrected the initialization sequence of the request queues.
      
       - added initialization to queue spinlocks.
      
       - release device in i2o_scan because else the device could not be queried.
      
       - i2o_block event threads wait on signal KILL but signal TERM was sent.
      
      drivers/message/i2o/i2o_core.c:
      
       - set the HRT length to 0 at initialization, to avoid calling free on
         unallocated memory.
      
       - i2o_core event threads wait on signal KILL but signal TERM was sent.
      
       - added a limit of 3 tries to get the HRT from the controller.
      
       - removed the dpt parameter, which was used to force DPT controllers get
         handled by the i2o driver.  Now all available i2o controllers will be
         handled by this driver.
      
      drivers/message/i2o/i2o_scsi.c:
      
       - beautifying of printk calls.
      
       - added scsi_unregister to properly clean up on module unload.
      
      drivers/message/i2o/Kconfig:
      
       - added help for i2o_block and i2o_scsi to describe the differences between
         the two drivers.
      
      include/linux/i2o-dev.h:
      
       - cleaned typo "tate" into "state".
      
      include/linux/i2o.h:
      
       - removed defines from i2o_block and insert it here.

      [PATCH] ext2/ext3 -ENOSPC bug · 5e9087ad
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>
      
      find_group_other looks buggy for ext2 and ext3 in 2.6, it can cause -ENOSPC
      errors when the fs has plenty of free room.
      
      To hit the bug, you need a filesystem where:
      
      parent_group has no free blocks (but might have free inodes) Every other
      group with free inodes has no free blocks.
      
      That gets you down to the final linear search in find_group_other.  The
      linear search has two bugs:
      
      group = parent_group + 1; means we start searching at parent_group + 2
      because the loop increments group before using it.
      
      for(i = 2 ; i < ngroups ; i++) means we don't search through all the
      groups.
      
      The end result is that parent_group and parent_group + 1 are not checked
      for free inodes in the final linear search.  ext3 has the same problem.

      [PATCH] ppc64: Convert mm_context_t to a struct · 5b9c017d
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
      
      Converts the mm_context_t on ppc64 to be a struct.  This lets us separate
      the low_hpages flag into a separate field rather than folding it into the
      actual context id.  That makes things neater, since the flag is
      conceptually separate and has, for example, should be propogate across a
      fork whereas the context ID obviously isn't.  The mm_context_id is the only
      place to put arch-specific information in the mm_struct.
      
      This patch will also make some interesting extensions to the hugepage
      support much easier, such as allowing dynamic resizing of the hugepage
      address space, or using special pagetables for hugepages.

      From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
      
      This patch declares iSeries_vio_dev in an include file and includes it where
      necessary.  It also fixes arch/ppc64/kernel/mf.c to use the generic dma API
      with iSeries_vio_dev.

      [PATCH] fastcall / regparm fixes · 20e39386
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Gerd Knorr <kraxel@suse.de>
      
      Current gcc's error out if a function's declaration and definition disagree
      about the register passing convention.
      
      The patch adds a new `fastcall' declatation primitive, and uses that in all
      the FASTCALL functions which we could find.  A number of inconsistencies were
      fixed up along the way.

      [PATCH] svcauth_gss oops fix · 6089e858
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>
      
      I've done some testing with 2.6.4-rc1.  It looks fine, except that one
      critical patch got dropped somewhere along the way, without which
      rpcsec_gss will oops.
      
      We've changed gss_get_mic to write mic in place instead of kmalloc'ing new
      memory for it; change must also be reflected in server side code.
