This is a fix made almost a month ago, during the flurry of signal changes. I didn't realize until today that this hadn't made it into 2.5. Sorry about the delay. This fix is necessary to avoid sometimes wedging in uninterruptible sleep when doing a multithreaded core dump triggered by a process signal (kill) rather than a trap. You can reproduce the problem by running your favorite multithreaded program (NPTL) and then using "kill -SEGV" on it. It will often wedge. The actual fix could be just a two line diff: + if (current->signal->group_exit) + goto dequeue; after the group_exit_task check. That is the fix that has been used in Ingo's backport for weeks and tested heavily (well, as heavily as core dumping ever gets tested, but it's been in our production systems). But I broke the hair out into a separate function. The patch below has the same effect as the two-liner, and no other difference. I have tested 2.5.64 with this patch and it works for me, though I haven't beat on it. The way the wedge happens is that for a core-dump signal group_send_sig_info does a group stop of other threads before the one thread handles the fatal signal. If the fatal thread gets into do_coredump and coredump_wait first, then other threads see the group stop and suspend with SIGKILL pending. All other fatal cases clear group_stop_count, so this is the only way this ever happens. Checking group_exit fixes it. I didn't make do_coredump clear group_stop_count because doing it with the appropriate ordering and locking doesn't fit the organization that code.

Mounting a non-affs filesystem as affs crashes the kernel. The reason is the sbi = kmalloc(sizeof(struct affs_sb_info), GFP_KERNEL); memset(sbi, 0, sizeof(*AFFS_SB)); where the second sizeof is 1, so that sbi is not zeroed at all. Also, avoid a warning for printk of sector_t in amigaffs.h.

Previously, we only honored barriers wrt merging. Really honor them now, move all pending requests to dispatch list and add the hard barrier at the back.

Patch from Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> - remove lock_kernel() (It was buggy too - there are at present two missing unlock_kernel()s) - fixes a bitmap corruption problem.

Patch from: Suparna Bhattacharya <suparna@in.ibm.com> Just an obvious fix. The kiocbClearX macros were doing a set_bit ! They should be calling clear_bit. Ran into this now that I'm actually using kiocbClearKicked.

Patch from Alex Tomas <bzzz@tmi.comex.ru> There is a logic error in ext2_new_block(). If we manage to reserve some blocks in the final blockgroup, local variable `bit' will be equal to sbi->s_groups_count and we erroneously assume that the allocation failed. Fix that up by testing local variable `group_alloc' instead.

Patch from "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> I recently noticed a bug in ext2/3; newly created inodes which inherit the noatime flag from their containing directory do not respect noatime until the inode is flushed from the inode cache and then re-read later. This is because the code which checks the ext2 no-atime attribute and then sets the S_NOATIME in inode->i_flags is present in ext2_read_inode(), but not in ext2_new_inode(). I fixed this in 2.4, and then found an even worse bug in the 2.5 code; the DIRSYNC flag is completely ignored *except* in the case where a directory is newly created using mkdir and its parent directory has the DIRSYNC flag. S_DIRSYNC doesn't get set in the ext2_new_inode() or the ext2_ioctl() paths (which is used by chattr). This patch centralizes the code which translates the ext2 flags in the raw ext2 inode to the appropriate flag values in inode->i_flags in a single location. This fixes the bug, makes things cleaner, and also removes 30 lines of code and 128 bytes of compiled x86 text in the bargain.

Patch from Oleg Drokin <green@linuxhacker.ru> There is a memleak in e100 driver from intel, both in 2.4 and 2.5 e100_ethtool_gstrings does not free "strings" variable if it cannot copy it to userspace.

Patch from Anders Gustafsson <andersg@0x63.nu> We're getting a division-by-zero in the writeback code during early rootfs population, because writeback has not yet been initialised. Fix that by performing an explicit initialisation rather than relying on initcall ordering.

Patch from Kevin Pedretti <pedretti@ieee.org> The previous fix for unmapping hugetlb regions could still produce incorrect alignments if the munmap request covers multiple VMA's. Fix it by always unmapped the entire hugepage VMA inside the inner loop.

Patch from "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org> Reverts the recent alteration of the format of the `mem=' option. This is because `mem=' is interpreted by bootloaders and may not be freely changed. Instead, the new functionality to set specific memory region usages is provided via the new "memmap=" option. The documentation for memmap= is added, and the documentation for mem= is updated.

Patch from Ivan Kokshaysky This fixes long standing typo ('size' instead of 'r_size') which causes overestimate of the bridge memory ranges calculated in pbus_size_mem(). For example, if we have a device with one 1Mb and one 2Mb memory ranges behind the bridge, calculated size and alignment of the bridge memory window will be 4Mb and 2Mb respectively, while the correct values are 3Mb and 1Mb.

In an attempt to "unuse" pci_do_scan_bus() so it can be eventually killed, make pci_scan_bus_parented() call the new pci_scan_child_bus() and pci_bus_add_devices(). The only remaining callers are the hotplug drivers. Eventually, pci_bus_add_devices() will be removed from this function - it is intended that architectures should call this after they have done any setups and fixups to the scanned bus. It is legal to call pci_bus_add_devices() on a bus which has already had this function called, so architectures could update today.
