"I routinely switch the console font during bootup to
8x8 so I can get 50 lines per screen.  Until 09 Sept,
just changing to the small font automatically gave me
all 50 lines -- but now I'm only getting 25 lines even
with the small font.  The bottom half of the screen
displays the text that already scrolled off the top."

This bug is due to an erroneous check in the recently added hook,
vgacon_resize(). It checks the new height against the original number of
rows of the console. Because the original number of rows depends on both
the scanline and the font height, check it instead against the
scanline/fontheight.

Several implementations were essentialy a common piece of C code using
the cmpxchg() macro.  Put the implementation in one spot that everyone
can share, and convert sparc64 over to using this.

Alpha is the lone arch-specific implementation, which codes up a
special fast path for the common case in order to avoid GP reloading
which a pure C version would require.

ip_vs_ftp when loaded can create NAT connections with unknown client
port for passive FTP. For such expectations we lookup with cport=0 on
incoming packet but it matches the format of the persistence templates
causing packets to other persistent virtual servers to be forwarded to
real server without creating connection. Later the reply packets are
treated as foreign and not SNAT-ed.

This patch changes the connection lookup for packets from clients:

* introduce IP_VS_CONN_F_TEMPLATE connection flag to mark the
  connection as template

* create new connection lookup function just for templates -
  ip_vs_ct_in_get

* make sure ip_vs_conn_in_get hits only connections with
  IP_VS_CONN_F_NO_CPORT flag set when s_port is 0. By this way
  we avoid returning template when looking for cport=0 (ftp)

The problem is that the SACK fragmenting code may incorrectly call
tcp_fragment() with a length larger than the skb->len.  This happens
when the skb on the transmit queue completely falls to the LHS of the
SACK.

And add a BUG() check to tcp_fragment() so we can spot this kind of
error more quickly in the future.

Commit 66759a01 introduced the fix for
time ticking too fast on some boards by disabling one of the doubly
connected timer pins on ATI boards.

However, it ends up being _much_ too broad a brush, and that just makes
some other ATI boards not work at all since they now have no timer
source.

So disable the automatic ATI southbridge detection, and just rely on
people who see this problem disabling it by hand with the option
"disable_timer_pin_1" on the kernel command line.

Maybe somebody can figure out the proper tests at a later date.

Its possible that we can write to the hvc_console tty as soon it is

Unfortunately at this stage we have not started the khvcd kernel thread and

        [ALSA] Remove superfluous PCI ID definitions

broke the RME32 and RME96 drivers, since the PCI IDs they use seem to have
changed names.  Here's a patch to fix this -- compile tested only, since I
have no idea what the hardware even is.

Fix the build of the RME32 and RME96 drivers by having them use the
PCI_DEVICE_ID_RME_xxx names defined in <linux/pci_ids.h> instead of the
PCI_DEVICE_ID_xxx names that they used to define themselves.

Also fix the typo in the id PCI_DEVICE_IDRME__DIGI96_8_PAD_OR_PST so the
name is PCI_DEVICE_ID_RME_DIGI96_8_PAD_OR_PST.

With the new changes that we made in the initialization of the slab
allocator, we first setup the cache from which array caches are allocated,
and then the cache, from which kmem_list3's are allocated.

Now if the array cache comes from a cache in which objsize > 32, (in this
instance size-64) then, first size-64 cache will be allocated and then the
size-128 (if this is the cache from which kmem_list3's are going to be
allocated).

So with these new changes, we are not guaranteed that we will be
initializing the malloc_sizes array in a serialized order. Thus there is
a bug in __find_general_cachep, as we are checking whether the first
cache_sizes ptr is NULL.

This is replaced by checking whether the array-cache cache is initialized.
Attached is a patch which does that.  Boots fine on a x86-64, with
DEBUG_SPIN, DEBUG_SLAB, and preempt.

In some cases, especially on modern laptops with a lot of PCI and
cardbus bridges, we're unable to assign correct secondary/subordinate
bus numbers to all cardbus bridges due to BIOS limitations unless
we are using "pci=assign-busses" boot option.
So some cardbus controllers may not have attached subordinate pci_bus
structure, and yenta driver must cope with it - just ignore such cardbus
bridges.

Pavel Emelianov and Kirill Korotaev observe that fs and arch users of
security_vm_enough_memory tend to forget to vm_unacct_memory when a
failure occurs further down (typically in setup_arg_pages variants).

These are all users of insert_vm_struct, and that reservation will only
be unaccounted on exit if the vma is marked VM_ACCOUNT: which in some
cases it is (hidden inside VM_STACK_FLAGS) and in some cases it isn't.

So x86_64 32-bit and ppc64 vDSO ELFs have been leaking memory into
Committed_AS each time they're run.  But don't add VM_ACCOUNT to them,
it's inappropriate to reserve against the very unlikely case that gdb
be used to COW a vDSO page - we ought to do something about that in
do_wp_page, but there are yet other inconsistencies to be resolved.

The safe and economical way to fix this is to let insert_vm_struct do
the security_vm_enough_memory check when it finds VM_ACCOUNT is set.

And the MIPS irix_brk has been calling security_vm_enough_memory before
calling do_brk which repeats it, doubly accounting and so also leaking.
Remove that, and all the fs and arch calls to security_vm_enough_memory:
give it a less misleading name later on.

It turns out that the BUG_ON() in fs/exec.c: de_thread() is unreliable
and can trigger due to the test itself being racy.

de_thread() does
 	while (atomic_read(&sig->count) > count) {
	}
	.....
	.....
	BUG_ON(!thread_group_empty(current));

but release_task does
	write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock)
	__exit_signal
		(this is where atomic_dec(&sig->count) is run)
	__exit_sighand
	__unhash_process
		takes write lock on tasklist_lock
		remove itself out of PIDTYPE_TGID list
	write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)

so there's a clear (although small) window between the
atomic_dec(&sig->count) and the actual PIDTYPE_TGID unhashing of the
thread.

And actually there is no need for all threads to have exited at this
point, so we simply kill the BUG_ON.

Big thanks to Marc Lehmann who provided the test-case.

Certain (SGI?) ia64 boxes object to having their PCI BARs
restored unless absolutely necessary. This patch restricts calling
pci_restore_bars from pci_set_power_state unless the current state
is PCI_UNKNOWN, the actual (i.e. physical) state of the device is
PCI_D3hot, and the device indicates that it will lose its configuration
when transitioning to PCI_D0.
