Using idr_get_new_above in init_new_context lets us get rid of an awkward init function which wasn't running early enough in boot anyway. Signed-off-by: Nathan Lynch <nathanl@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The routine ext2_readdir() will, when reading a directory page returns an error, try the next page, without reporting the error to user space. That is bad, and the patch below changes that. In my case the filesystem was damaged, and ext2_readdir wanted to read 60000+ pages and wrote as many error messages to syslog ("attempt to access beyond end"), not what one wants. [no doubt a similar patch is appropriate for ext3]

bits_wanted is expanded to bytes using the wrong shift value (when iovp_shift != PAGE_SHIFT), resulting in an explosion of used iommu resources. This potentially results in mistakenly running out of DMA mapping resources when the system is under *heavy* i/o load.

ia64_sn_plat_specific_err_print() ends up calling vfree() which requires IPI which can deadlock if interrupts are disabled. Do not disable interrupts in ia64_sn_plat_specific_err_print(). Signed-off-by: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Patch from Matthew Wilcox: Since some ia64 platforms have non-identity-mapped PCI busses, we need to implement pcibios_resource_to_bus and pcibios_bus_to_resource. Also clean up some >80 column comments and delete an unnecessary parameter to pcibios_fixup_device_resources(). Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

This patch allows tcpdiag to support ipv6 work as a module when itself is also a module. I was planning for a more extensible method but now I think the effort would be better directed at a new generic socket netlink interface than the TCP-specific tcpdiag.

XFree (and X.org) has both always been broken in their conversion of the DPMS blanking mode when passing to the kernel ioctl FBIOBLANK (in fbdev mode). This patch makes sure that at least the value passed by userland stays in the legal range, which has the side effect that an X DPMS POWERDOWN request will result as an fbdev VESA_POWERDOWN request at the fbdev level now, instead of an out-of-range value.

The default interruption handler "handle_interruption" does not properly check to see if the faulting space is the same as the users space. The problem lies in the fact that if a fault happens on the gateway we will not deliver signals to the process, the process will not die, and we may continue handling the same fault in a loop forever. Any malicious user code can crash the kernel by jumping into the gateway page at an inopportune address. The solution is to check if the user has the right privilege and if the spaces match, both faulting and currently active. The best action is to force the process back to it's own space of execution at address zero, and let it take a SIGSEGV. The process can never recover from this because it happens immediately after the return from the interrupt via rfi or rfir. Committed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@parisc-linux.org>

- Fix Astro/Elroy LMMIO space reporting in /proc/iomem. - Output in /proc/iomem include PCI bus number and "Extra LMMIO" range. - LBA now reports proper addresses routed down from SBA. - add mercury_cfg_ops. This fixes the tg3 init delay problem. PDC took ~20ms per PCI cfg write. tg3 performs ~1600 writes (~30 seconds per NIC) during init. Alternative is the relocate PDC to host ram. But that would burn ~4MB of RAM. This is cheaper. - add PCI_F_EXTEND to asm/pci.h - replaces private definitions Committed-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org>
