Commit b2b2cbc4 introduced a user- visible change: ->pdeath_signal is sent only when the entire thread group exits. While this change is imho good, it may break things. So restore the old behaviour for now. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> To: Albert Cahalan <acahalan@gmail.com> Cc: Eric W.

Installing an IPsec SA using old algorithm names (.compat) does not work if the algorithm is not already loaded. When not using the PF_KEY interface, algorithms are not preloaded in xfrm_probe_algs() and installing a IPsec SA fails.

Don't add it there please; add it lower down inside the existing #ifdef __KERNEL__. You just made the _userspace_ net.h include random.h, which then fails to compile unless <asm/types.h> was already included.

fix an GFP_KERNEL allocation in atomic section: kvm_dev_ioctl_create_vcpu() called kvm_mmu_init(), which calls alloc_pages(), while holding the vcpu. The fix is to set up the MMU state in two phases: kvm_mmu_create() and kvm_mmu_setup(). (NOTE: free_vcpus does an kvm_mmu_destroy() call so there's no need for any extra teardown branch on allocation/init failure here.)

The latest version of kvm doesn't initialize kvm_arch_ops in kvm_init(), which causes an error with the following sequence. 1. Load the supported arch's module. 2. Load the unsupported arch's module.$B!!(B(loading error) 3. Unload the unsupported arch's module. You'll get the following error message after step 3. "BUG: unable to handle to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx" The problem here is that the unsupported arch's module overwrites kvm_arch_ops of the supported arch's module at step 2. This patch initializes kvm_arch_ops upon loading architecture specific kvm module, and prevents overwriting kvm_arch_ops when kvm_arch_ops is already set correctly.

The fallback to PIO mode in the hwif->dma_check() handler doesn't work in the Intel PIIX and SMsC SLC90E66 IDE drivers because: - config_drive_for_dma() calls the hwif->speedproc() handler with a wrong mode number (unbiased by XFER_PIO_0) in case of the PIO fallback; - hwif->tuneproc() handler doesn't really set the drive's own speed (this is not fixed as yet).

There's no need to check in piix_config_drive_for_dma() for broken MW DMA mode 0 as this mode is not supported by the driver (it sets hwif->mwdma_mask to 0x6), and hence can't be selected by ide_dma_speed(). (Alan sayeth "Probably right but if not you've got a subtle corruptor. Should at least stick a BUG_ON mode 0 setting right close when the mode is set.")

Some issues were recently turned up with the current specification of what it means for spi_transfer.tx_buf to be null, as part of transfers which are (from the SPI protocol driver perspective) pure reads. Specifically, that it seems better to change the TX behaviour there from "undefined" to "will shift zeroes". This lets protocol drivers (like the ads7846 driver) depend on that behavior. It's what most controller drivers in the tree are already doing (with one exception and one case of driver wanting-to-oops), it's what Microwire hardware will necessarily be doing, and it removes an issue whereby certain security audits would need to define such a value anyway as part of removing covert channels. This patch changes the specification to require shifting zeroes, and updates all currently merged SPI controller drivers to do so.

Recent cleanup of slab.h broke SLOB allocator: the routine kmem_cache_init has now the __init attribute for both slab.c and slob.c. This routine cannot be removed after init in the case of slob.c -- it serves as a timer callback. Provide a separate timer callback routine, call it once from kmem_cache_init, keep the __init attribute on the latter.
