PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU is broken. The rcu_online_cpu is called to initially populate rcu_cpu_online_map with all online CPUs when the hotplug event handler is installed, and also to populate the map with CPUs as they come online. The former case is meant to happen with and without HOTPLUG_CPU, but without HOTPLUG_CPU, the rcu_offline_cpu function is no-oped -- while it still gets called, it does not set the rcu CPU map. With a blank RCU CPU map, grace periods get to tick by completely oblivious to active RCU read side critical sections. This results in free-before-grace bugs. Fix is obvious once the problem is known. (Also, change __devinit to __cpuinit so the function gets thrown away on !HOTPLUG_CPU kernels).

Add ioremap_default(), which gives a sane mapping without worrying about type conflicts. Use it in /dev/mem read in place of ioremap(), as with ioremap(), any mapping of the region (other than UC_MINUS) will cause a conflict and failure of /dev/mem read.

I think we may have a race between try_to_wake_up() and migrate_live_tasks() -> move_task_off_dead_cpu() when the later one may end up looping endlessly. Interrupts are enabled on other CPUs when migration_call(CPU_DEAD, ...) is called so we may get a race between try_to_wake_up() and migrate_live_tasks() -> move_task_off_dead_cpu(). The former one may push a task out of a dead CPU causing the later one to loop endlessly. Heiko Carstens observed: | That's exactly what explains a dump I got yesterday.

The change to iwch_provider.c in commit f4e91eb4 ("IB: convert struct class_device to struct device") undid the fix done in commit 7f049f2f ("RDMA/cxgb3: Hold rtnl_lock() around ethtool get_drvinfo call"). It removed the calls to rtnl_lock() that serialized the iw_cxgb3 ethtool ops calls into the cxgb3 driver. This locking is needed to avoid messing up the internal state of the cxgb3 driver.

With the removal of struct file from the xattr code, reiserfs_file_release() isn't used anymore, so the prealloc isn't discarded. This causes hangs later down the line. This patch adds it to reiserfs_delete_inode. In most cases it will be a no-op due to it already having been called, but will avoid hangs with xattrs.

invalidate_inode_pages2_range() takes page offset arguments, not byte ranges. Another thought is that individual pages might perhaps get evicted by VM pressure, in which case we might perhaps want to re-read not only the evicted page, but all subsequent pages too (in case the server returns more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on page->index==0. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

The generated copy_page for R4k CPU with a 128 byte cache line size used Create Dirty Exclusive cache line operations even if only part of the cache line was filled. This change avoids generating cache operations, if only part of the cache line size is copied in one loop. It also increases the maxmimum loop size, because the generated code even fits into the available space for r4k CPUs with 128 byte cache line size.

The driver uses completely bogus rounding formula for calculating period from the IDECLK frequency which gives one-off period values (e.g. 11 ns with 100 MHz IDECLK) which in turn can lead to overclocked IDE transfer timings. Actually, rounding is just wrong in this case, so use a mere division for a safe result. While at it, also: - give 'ide_palm_clk' variable a more suitable name; - get rid of the useless 'ideclkp' variable; - drop the LISP stype 'p' postfix from the 'clkp' variable's name. :-) Signed-off-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> Cc: mcherkashin@ru.mvista.com Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>

Add __ide_default_irq() inline helper and use it instead of ide_default_irq() in ide-probe.c and ns87415.c (all host drivers except IDE PCI ones always setup hwif->irq so it is enough to check only for I/O bases 0x1f0 and 0x170). This fixes post-2.6.25 regression since ide_default_irq() define could shadow ide_default_irq() inline. Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>

* 'for-linus' of git://git390.osdl.marist.edu/pub/scm/linux-2.6: [S390] protect _PAGE_SPECIAL bit against mprotect
-
David Gibson authored
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug. It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect() which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge' argument set to 0. This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong hash entries (of any). Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc tree as commit 016b33c4. I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs. A process write a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and have the child incorrectly see the second write. Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree. Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed much recently). It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect(). Currently, hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform. When they are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and so will have different needs anyway.

Coverity CID: 2306 & 2307 RESOURCE_LEAK In the second for loop in test_cipher(), data is allocated space with kzalloc() and is only ever freed in an error case.
