In some cases snd_sb_csp_load() did kmalloc() and copy_from_user() under a spinlock. Split into snd_sb_csp_load() and snd_sb_csp_load_user() - ther former always from kernel pointer, the latter - from userland. snd_sb_csp_load_user() doesn't take any locks itself, it just does kmalloc, copy_from_user and calls snd_sb_csp_load() to do the rest.

Since asm/arch/hardware.h is included (indirectly) by most kernel files, we don't want all these files depending on the individual machine support files, especially as only five files really require the header. Instead, explicitly include lubbock.h into files as necessary.

When I moved the exports into arch/ppc/lib/locks.c, I forgot to include module.h, so it doesn't compile (with CONFIG_SMP + CONFIG_SPINLOCK_DEBUG). This patch fixes it. Signed-off-by:

The last patch I sent means that we have WARN_ON(0) in a couple of places when CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. This patch makes that reduce to nothing (rather than a conditional trap on a 0 value), and also makes BUG_ON(0) reduce to nothing for completeness. Signed-off-by:

Ben H added a check in a couple of places to make sure that we had preemption disabled when we call enable_kernel_{fp,altivec}. Unfortunately the check he used trips in the case when CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. This patch fixes it by defining a preemptible() macro (which reduces to 0 when CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) and doing WARN_ON(preemptible()). Signed-off-by: -

The main thrust of this patch is to make the ppc32 PCI code more robust by checking for bus->resource[] being NULL before using it. We can legitimately get elements of bus->resource being NULL and I have actually hit that on some machines. This patch also allows resources starting at 0 to be accepted as assigned (we can and do get PCI resources starting at 0 in I/O space on PPC machines) and provides a sensible default for the case where Open Firmware doesn't give us a bus-range property for a PCI bridge.

The ppc32 boot code has a couple of files that are executed very early on before the kernel is mapped at the address it is linked at. We have been using -mrelocatable-lib to compile these files, but apparently -mrelocatable-lib is deprecated and the gcc developers are threatening to remove it. In fact the -fPIC flag does what we need. This patch changes -mrelocatable-lib to -fPIC. Signed-off-by:

In the ppc32 kernel, we have a /proc/ppc_htab file that trawls through the MMU hash table and prints various statistics on it such as percent occupancy. However, the hash table entry format is different on 64-bit cpus (POWER3, G5) which the ppc32 kernel does support (in 32-bit mode). This patch disables the scanning of the MMU hash table and printing of the statistics that we get from it on 64-bit cpus. Since the statistics are only for interest, and the ppc32 kernel is being used less and less on 64-bit cpus now that the ppc64 kernel is in reasonable shape, I didn't think it worth while to add code to deal with the 64-bit HPTE format.

This patch is the ppc32 counterpart to a fix that went into arch/i386/kernel/irq.c last October. The bug was noted by Al Viro: if no handler exists, and we have IRQ_INPROGRESS set because of an earlier irq that got through, synchronize_irq() will end up waiting forever. Signed-off-by:

I tried compiling a PPC32 kernel with PREEMPT + SMP and it failed because we didn't have a _raw_write_trylock. This patch adds _raw_write_trylock, moves the exports of _raw_*lock from arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c to arch/ppc/lib/locks.c, and makes __spin_trylock static since it is only used in locks.c.

clean_blockdev_aliases() is using the wrong thing to work out how many filesystem blocks should be invalidated. It invalidates too many, which can cause live fs metadata buffers to be invalidated when they are pending writeout. It's a filesystem-wrecker, although seems very hard to hit. Signed-off-by:

From: Jerzy Szczepkowski <js189202@zodiac.mimuw.edu.pl> There is a bug in sys_io_setup(). If ioctx_alloc() succeeds and put_user() fails io_destroy() is called. io_destroy() assumes that ioctx->users >= 2 (if context is alive) and calls put_ioctx twice, while in this sequence ioctx->users == 1.

From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Chris Mason and I ran across this one while hunting down another bug. If ext3_mark_iloc_dirty() fails in ext3_orphan_del() on the outer buffer, bh->b_count will be decremented twice. ext3_mark_iloc_dirty() will brelse the buffer, even on error. ext3_orphan_del() is explicity brelse'ing the buffer on error. Prior to calling ext3_mark_iloc_dirty(), this is the correct behavior. Signed-off-by:

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Currently the hugepage code stores the hugepage destructor in the mapping field of the second of the compound pages. However, this field is never cleared again, which causes tracebacks from free_pages_check() if the hugepage is later destroyed by reducing the number in /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages. This patch fixes the bug by clearing the mapping field when the hugepage is freed. Signed-off-by:

From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com> When filling holes via DIRECT_IO, we fall back to normal buffered io. For this to work properly, the direct io funcs have to return a value of zero to the file write functions, so the file write functions know where to start writing. In some cases, dio->result was getting returned by direct_io_worker, and that wasn't always zero, causing some data not to be written.

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Currently, calling msync() on a hugepage area will cause the kernel to blow up with a bad_page() (at least on ppc64, but I think the problem will exist on other archs too). The msync path attempts to walk pagetables which may not be there, or may have an unusual layout for hugepages. Lucikly we shouldn't need to do anything for an msync on hugetlbfs beyond flushing the cache, so this patch should be sufficient to fix the problem. Signed-off-by:

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> start_jiffies was not respected by set_timeout(), which reread jiffies instead of respecting what read_events() passed it. This difference can be significant, particularly if the calling process slept during the copy_to_user() operation in read_events(). To correct this, this patch teaches it to respect its argument, with the additional bonus of converting it to use timespec_to_jiffies() instead of open-coding it. Signed-off-by:
