there should be no difference, except: * the 64bit variant now also initializes the padlock unit. * ->c_early_init() is executed again from ->c_init() * the 64bit fixups made into 32bit path.

Guennadi Liakhovetski noticed that the end condition for the loop in bitmap_find_free_region() is wrong, and the "return if error" was also using the wrong conditional that would only trigger if the bitmap was an exact multiple of the allocation size, which is not necessarily the case with dma_alloc_from_coherent(). Such a failure would end up in bitmap_find_free_region() accessing beyond the end of the bitmap.

Impact: kernel image size reduction Since in most configurations the pmd page needed maps the same range of virtual addresses which is also mapped by the earlier inserted one for covering FIX_DBGP_BASE, that page (and its insertion in the page tables) can be avoided altogether by detecting the condition at compile time.

Impact: fix crashes under Xen due to unrobust e820 code find_e820_area_size() must return a properly distinguishable and out-of-bounds value when it fails, and -1UL does not meet that criteria on i386/PAE. Additionally, callers of the function must check against that value. early_reserve_e820() should be prepared for the region found to be outside of the addressable range on 32-bits. e820_update_range_map() should not blindly update e820, but should do all it work on the map it got a pointer passed for (which in 50% of the cases is &e820_saved). It must also not call e820_add_region(), as that again acts on e820 unconditionally. The issues were found when trying to make this option work in our Xen kernel (i.e. where some of the silent assumptions made in the code would not hold).

STag zero is a special STag that allows consumers to access any bus address without registering memory. The nes driver unfortunately allows STag zero to be used even with QPs created by unprivileged userspace consumers, which means that any process with direct verbs access to the nes device can read and write any memory accessible to the underlying PCI device (usually any memory in the system). Such access is usually given for cluster software such as MPI to use, so this is a local privilege escalation bug on most systems running this driver. The driver was using STag zero to receive the last streaming mode data; to allow STag zero to be disabled for unprivileged QPs, the driver now registers a special MR for this data.

There was a report of a data corruption http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121. There is a script included to reproduce the problem. During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem. I found that fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had already been called for that inode. This points to memory scribble, or synchronisation problme. i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is cleared. Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without waiting for I_NEW. Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption. In my case it would look like this: CPU0 CPU1 unlock_new_inode() __sync_single_inode() reg <- inode->i_state reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW) reg <- inode->i_state reg -> inode->i_state reg -> reg | I_SYNC reg -> inode->i_state Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again. Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them: inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory either. After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or hangs after ~1hour of running. Previously, the new warnings would start immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes. I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either. I don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a real problem for me.

Currently we disable the Acer WMI backlight device if there is no ACPI backlight device. As a result, we end up with no backlight device at all. We should instead disable it if there is an ACPI device, as the other laptop drivers do. This regression was introduced in febf2d95 ("Acer-WMI: fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality"). Each laptop driver with backlight support got a similar change around febf2d95. The changes to the other drivers look correct; see e.g. a598c82f for a similar but correct change. The regression is also in 2.6.28.

Unfortunately, Linux Foundation funding for my work on man-pages/testing/doc under the auspices of the LF documentation fellowship unfortunately ran out a short while ago (after earlier attempts to seek funding, only Google stepped forward with a bit of further funding for the position), so the patch below acknowledges something closer to reality. Unfortunately, there will (probably very) soon be a further downgrade from "Maintained" to "Odd Fixes" or "Orphan", unless some funding miracle occurs. So, if anyone is looking to become man-pages maintainer, there may soon be an opening (okay, don't trample me in the rush ;-).)
