      cpusets: remove pj from cpuset maintainers · c222817f
      Paul Jackson authored
      Remove myself from the kernel MAINTAINERS file for cpusets.  I am leaving
      SGI and probably will not be active in Linux kernel work.  I can be
      reached at <pj@usa.net>.  Contact Derek Fults <dfults@sgi.com> for future
      SGI+cpuset related issues.  I'm off to the next chapter of this good life.

      fbdev: fix recursive notifier and locking when fbdev console is blanked · aef7db4b
      Krzysztof Helt authored
      Fix infinite recursive notifier in the fbdev layer.  This causes recursive
      locking.  Dmitry Baryshkov found the problem and confirmed that the patch
      fixes the bug.
      
      After doing
      # echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank
      I got the following in my kernel log:
      
      =============================================

       ((fb_notifier_list).rwsem){..--}, at: [<c005a384>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x38/0x6c
      
      other info that might help us debug this:

      rtc: fix kernel panic on second use of SIGIO nofitication · 2e4a75cd
      Marcin Slusarz authored
      When userspace uses SIGIO notification and forgets to disable it before
      closing file descriptor, rtc->async_queue contains stale pointer to struct
      file.  When user space enables again SIGIO notification in different
      process, kernel dereferences this (poisoned) pointer and crashes.
      
      So disable SIGIO notification on close.
      
      Kernel panic:
      (second run of qemu (requires echo 1024 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq))
