This patch sets KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT to (-1)UL. As the value is compared with physical addresses TASK_SIZE makes no sense. Machines where the RAM addresses start above TASK_SIZE kexecs eats all memory and crashes the kernel without this patch.

Eric Sandeen tracked an XFS on ARM corruption bug down to a function under fs/xfs/ involving some get_unaligned() calls on u64 pointers. As it turns out, calling ARM's get_unaligned() on a u64 pointer pointing to the following byte sequence: 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 would return ffffffff83828180 (LE mode.) This turns out to be because of implicit u8 -> int promotion in ARM's implementation of various helpers for get_unaligned(), causing them to accidentally return signed instead of unsigned values, which in turn caused the subsequent casts to unsigned long long in __get_unaligned_8_[bl]e() to sign-extend the lower words. Fix by casting the return values of __get_unaligned_[24]_[bl]e() to unsigned int.

This behavior has been confirmed by Marvell with a SATA analyzer. The Marvell port-multiplier apparently likes to see clean HOB information when accessing PMP registers. Since sata_mv uses PIO shadow register access, this doesn't happen automatically, as it might in a more purely FIS-based driver (eg. ahci). One way to fix this is to flag these commands with ATA_TFLAG_LBA48, forcing libata to write out the HOB fields with known (zero) values.

Back in 2.6.17-rc2, a libata module parameter was added for atapi_dmadir. That's nice, but most SATA devices which need it will tell us about it in their IDENTIFY PACKET response, as bit-15 of word-62 of the returned data (as per ATA7, ATA8 specifications). So for those which specify it, we should automatically use the DMADIR bit. Otherwise, disc writing will fail by default on many SATA-ATAPI drives. This patch adds ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR and make ata_dev_configure() set it if atapi_dmadir is set or identify data indicates DMADIR is necessary. atapi_xlat() is converted to check ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR before setting DMADIR.

The neigh_hash_grow() may update the tbl->hash_rnd value, which is used in all tbl->hash callbacks to calculate the hashval. Two lookup routines may race with this, since they call the ->hash callback without the tbl->lock held. Since the hash_rnd is changed with this lock write-locked moving the calls to ->hash under this lock read-locked closes this gap.

RTM_NEWLINK allows for already existing links to be modified. For this purpose do_setlink() is called which expects address attributes with a payload length of at least dev->addr_len. This patch adds the necessary validation for the RTM_NEWLINK case. The address length for links to be created is not checked for now as the actual attribute length is used when copying the address to the netdevice structure. It might make sense to report an error if less than addr_len bytes are provided but enforcing this might break drivers trying to be smart with not transmitting all zero addresses.

Linus Torvalds authored
Oleg Nesterov and others have pointed out that on some architectures, the traditional sequence of set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); if (CONDITION) return; schedule(); is racy wrt another CPU doing CONDITION = 1; wake_up_process(p); because while set_current_state() has a memory barrier separating setting of the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state from reading of the CONDITION variable, there is no such memory barrier on the wakeup side. Now, wake_up_process() does actually take a spinlock before it reads and sets the task state on the waking side, and on x86 (and many other architectures) that spinlock is in fact equivalent to a memory barrier, but that is not generally guaranteed. The write that sets CONDITION could move into the critical region protected by the runqueue spinlock. However, adding a smp_wmb() to before the spinlock should now order the writing of CONDITION wrt the lock itself, which in turn is ordered wrt the accesses within the spinlock (which includes the reading of the old state). This should thus close the race (which probably has never been seen in practice, but since smp_wmb() is a no-op on x86, it's not like this will make anything worse either on the most common architecture where the spinlock already gave the required protection).

(sorry for being offtpoic, but while experts are here...) A "typical" implementation of atomic_add_unless() can return 0 immediately after the first atomic_read() (before doing cmpxchg). In that case it doesn't provide any barrier semantics. See include/asm-ia64/atomic.h as an example. We should either change the implementation, or fix the docs.
