Make sure no-one calls dentry_open with a NULL vfsmount argument and crap out with a stacktrace otherwise. A NULL file->f_vfsmnt has always been problematic, but with the per-mount r/o tracking we can't accept anymore at all. [AV] the last place that passed NULL had been eliminated by the previous patch (reiserfs xattr stuff) Acked-by:

After several posts and bug reports regarding interaction with the NULL nameidata, here's a patch to clean up the mess with struct file in the reiserfs xattr code. As observed in several of the posts, there's really no need for struct file to exist in the xattr code. It was really only passed around due to the f_op->readdir() and a_ops->{prepare,commit}_write prototypes requiring it. reiserfs_prepare_write() and reiserfs_commit_write() don't actually use the struct file passed to it, and the xattr code uses a private version of reiserfs_readdir() to enumerate the xattr directories.

* hppfs_iget() and its users are racy; there's no need to pollute icache anyway, new_inode() works fine and is safe, unlike the current kludges (these relied on overwriting ->i_ino before another iget_locked() gets to that one - and did it after unlocking). * merge hppfs_iget()/init_inode()/hppfs_read_inode(), while we are at it. * to pass proper vfsmount to dentry_open() store the reference in hppfs superblock.

Here's patch for hppfs that uses vfs_kern_mount to make sure it always has a procfs instance and passed the vfsmount on through the inode private data. Also fixes a procfs file_system_type leak for every attempted hppfs mount. [ jdike - gave this file a style workover, plus deleted hppfs_dentry_ops ] Acked-by:

vfs_kern_mount() requires having a reference to fs type, which makes it impossible for module to create procfs, etc. private mount. Open-coding is not an option, since e.g. put_filesystem() is _not_ exported, and for a good reason. Signed-off-by:

pata_ali was using qc->nbytes to determine whether a command is data transfer type or not. As now qc->nbytes can be extended by padding and draining buffers, these tests are not useful anymore. Use atapi_cmd_type() instead. Signed-off-by:

ahci is often implemented with accompanying SFF compatible interface and legacy IDE driver may attach to the legacy IO ports when the controller is already claimed by ahci and vice-versa.

Improve ACPI hotplug handling such that dock event is handled properly. * Register handlers for dock events. * Directly detach device on EJECT_REQUEST instead of signaling hotplug event. This prevents libata from accessing severed controller and/or device. * While at it, use named constants for ACPI events and move uevent signaling inside host lock.

I think its the following race: poll says netif_rx_complete poll calls enable_cb enable_cb opens the interrupt mask a new packet comes, an interrupt is triggered----\ enable_cb sees that there is more work | enable_cb disables the interrupt | . V . interrupt is delivered . skb_recv_done does atomic napi test, ok some waiting disable_cb is called->check fails->bang! . poll would do napi check poll would do disable_cb The fix is to let enable_cb not disable the interrupt again, but expect the caller to do the cleanup if it returns false. In that case, the interrupt is only disabled, if the napi test_set_bit was successful.

Commit a0c1e907 added code to futex.c to detect whether futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic was implemented at run time: + curval = cmpxchg_futex_value_locked(NULL, 0, 0); + if (curval == -EFAULT) + futex_cmpxchg_enabled = 1; This is bogus on parisc, since page zero in kernel virtual space is the gateway page for syscall entry, and should not be read from the kernel.

Commit 721fdf34 introduced a subtle bug by accidently removing the "static" from iodc_dbuf. This resulted in, what appeared to be, a trap without *current set to a task. Probably the result of a trap in real mode while calling firmware. Also do other misc clean ups. Since the only input from firmware is non blocking, share iodc_dbuf between input and output, and spinlock the only callers. Signed-off-by:

This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9 ("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply isn't ready. It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole approach. The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this shouldn't be done at all. For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option. We can revisit this concept later if necessary.
