con_font_set() sanitized. We are passing console_font and flags into the method in separate arguments and we are not messing with console_font_op->data anymore - it's a userland pointer (to be annotated several patches later in the series, due to another abuse of console_font_op that needs to be fixed first), while console_font->data is kernel one and they don't mix anymore. We also do a sanity check (font width > 0) in the caller instead of method instances, since we are already checking for width <= 32 and height <= 32 there; doesn't make sense leaving that one in method instances.

->con_font_copy() sanitized. We extract the number of console to copy the font from in the caller (it's taken from the field of console_font_op that is normally used for font height - messy even for an ioctl, but that animal used to be passed all the way down into console drivers). With decoding done in con_font_copy(), we simply pass source console number into the method. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@parcelfarce.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

->con_font_default() sanitized. We copy font name (if any) from userland in the caller and pass it explicitly. We are also beginning to get rid of console_font_op in method arguments. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@parcelfarce.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Preparations for cleanups: con_font_op() is turned into a switch calling con_font_{get,set,default,copy} depending on the operation required; method ->con_font_op() also split, with NULL resulting in -ENOSYS on operation in question. Code that used to be in con_font_op() got slightly cleaned up after move into new helpers (we are beginning to untangle the mess; there will be more cleanups in the next patches). Methods are currently using exact same arguments as old ->con_font_op(). That will change in subsequent patches, method by method (right now there's a hell of a scary field reuse between them, making impossible to do any static checks and practically begging for bugs).

The ppc64 implementation of memcpy_to/from_io was bogus (used memcpy which uses cache hints and thus is broken on non cacheable IO space). This re-implements them with some simple/gross C code doing 32 bits accesses when aligned and bytes accesses when not.

This fixes some possible rare issues with the hash code beeing called with interrupts enabled from update_mmu_cache, and fixes some races in the iSeries low level htab code by adding an array of spinlocks This is actually an old patch already present in SLES kernel and that got "missed" somewhat in the main tree, adapted to recent changes.

Andrea Arcangeli authored
I think I understood why some ext2 fs corruption still happens even after the last i_size fix. what happened I believe is that the writepages layer got a not a fully uptodate page (in turn with bh mapped on top of it), and then right before unlocking the page and entering the writeback mode, it freed all the bh. Without bh a not uptodate page will trigger a full readpage from disk, that overwrites the pagecache before the multi-bio gets submitted, generating fs corruption. I believe the below patch should fix it (untested) against kernel CVS. The testcases developed by Kurt showed the pagecache being overwritten with on-disk data at block offsets, and Chris as well was wondering about races between wait_on_page_writeback and readpage. the below fix just explains everything we've seen since not-fully-uptodate pages must have always bh on them and the below patch enforces just that invariant, and it should fix our pagecache-overwritten-by-disk-data problem.

From: Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk> A bunch of small laptop mode updates: * Mention the laptop_mode and block_dump sysctls in the relevant docs, referring to the laptop-mode.txt. Improve description of what the laptop_mode knob means (i.e. seconds between last I/O and automatic sync). * Document the most relevant config file options. * Change the installation instructions in the laptop mode doc to describe the ACPI-bound version first, because this is the easiest. Explain the non-ACPI version afterwards. Added a reference to my "packaged version" of the scripts. * Move the setting of hdparm and cpu frequency out of the ACPI script and into the core laptop mode script. Add config option DO_HD to enable hdparm. Add config setting HD to set device to do hdparm on. Rename Dax's CPU_MANAGE to DO_CPU, with 0/1 instead of yes/no, to improve consistency. * Fix a problem where the root filesystem wouln't be remounted when /etc/mtab listed its type as "unknown". Deduce the type of "unknown" filesystems from /etc/fstab. This depends on the patch that adds config files, which was submitted to Linus by Dax Kelson on July 10.

From: Dax Kelson <dax@gurulabs.com> Add support for a external configuration file for /sbin/laptop_mode, and /etc/acpi/actions/battery.sh. Convert battery.sh to use CPUFreq (off by default) instead of CPU throttling (that was off by default). Cleanup some formating for 80 columns. All changes were written by me on a plane flight from Philadelphia to Salt Lake City on July 9th. :) (Note from Bart Samwel: was submitted to Linus earlier, this patch is unchanged from that. I needed to submit this into -mm for now because my other changes are dependent on Dax's changes.)
