      [PATCH] move_one_page() atomicity fix · 8a8f9d8e
      Andrew Morton authored
      move_one_page() is awkward.  It grabs an atomic_kmap of the source pte
      (because it needs to know if there's really a page there) and then it needs
      to allocate a pte for the dest.  But it cannot allocate the dest pte while
      holding the src's atomic kmap.
      
      So it performs this little dance peeking at pagetables to predict if
      alloc_one_pte_map() might need to perform a pte page allocation.
      
      When I wrote this code I made it conditional on CONFIG_HIGHPTE.  But that was
      bogus: even in the !CONFIG_HIGHPTE case, get_one_pte_map_nested() will run
      atomic_kmap() against the pte page, which disables preemption.
      
      Net effect: with CONFIG_HIGHMEM && !CONFIG_HIGHPTE we can end up performing a
      GFP_KERNEL pte page allocation while preemption is disabled.  It triggers a
      might_sleep() warning and indeed is buggy.
      
      So the patch removes the conditionality: even in the !CONFIG_HIGHPTE case we
      still do the pagetable peek and drop the kmap if necessary.
      
      (Arguably, we shouldn't be performing the atomic_kmap() at all if
      !CONFIG_HIGHPTE: all it does is a pointless preemption disable).
      
      (Arguably, kmap_atomic() should not be disabling preemption if the target
      page is not highmem.  But we're doing it anyway at present for consistency
      (ie: debug coverage) and because the filemap.c pagecache copying functions
      rely on kmap_atomic() disabling do_no_page() for all pages: see
      do_no_page()'s use of in_atomic()).

      [PATCH] reiserfs: fix savelinks on bigendian arches · 3491b2bc
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>
      
      This small patch fixes a savelinks problem on bigendian platforms, where
      savelinks were not working at all because of incorrect cpu->disk endianness
      conversion.
      
      Savelinks are used on reiserfs to remember "truncate" and "unlink" events
      so that if crash happens in the middle of truncate/unlink, we do not endup
      with lost or half truncated files.

      [PATCH] dm: 64 bit ioctl fixes · 35a4a8e8
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Joe Thornber <thornber@sistina.com>
      
      Update the ioctl32 handlers for the 64-bit architectures to recognize
      the new Device-Mapper version 4 ioctls. The version 1 ioctls are still
      there.  If/When the version 1 ioctls are removed, these same files
      will need to be updated again.
      
      I have been unable to test this patch yet, since I have not had any
      luck getting 2.6.0-test2 to compile on my ppc64 box (not a dm-related
      problem).  But the patch is pretty trivial, so I'm pretty confident it
      will work. If anyone else can test this (on mips64, sparc64, parisc,
      or x86-64), let me know if you have any problems.  [Kevin Corry]

      [PATCH] fix CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE support in ide-disk.c · 78808d51
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored
      Original patch from Erik Andersen <andersen@codepoet.org>:
      - fix CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE by adding proper detection of HPA feature set
        and removing IDE_STROKE_LIMIT
      - remove irrelevant idedisk_supports_host_protected_area()
      - make the HPA detection actually display useful information
      
      I've reworked it a bit:
      - detect HPA before calculating drive's geometry
      - move HPA detection outside init_idedisk_capacity()
        to idedisk_check_hpa_lba28() and idedisk_check_hpa_lba48()
      - use sectors_to_MB()
      - respect 80-column limit

        and don't call it twice if CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE is defined
      - don't check for Host Protected Area if drive uses CHS addressing
        (such combination is not supported by a driver)

      [PATCH] Proper block queue reference counting · ace416a3
      Jens Axboe authored
      To be able to properly be able to keep references to block queues,
      we make blk_init_queue() return the queue that it initialized, and
      let it be independently allocated and then cleaned up on the last
      reference.
      
      I have grepped high and low, and there really shouldn't be any broken
      uses of blk_init_queue() in the kernel drivers left.  The added bonus
      being blk_init_queue() error checking is explicit now, most of the
      drivers were broken in this regard (even IDE/SCSI).
      
      No drivers have embedded request queue structures. Drivers that don't
      use blk_init_queue() but blk_queue_make_request(), should allocate the
      queue with blk_alloc_queue(gfp_mask). I've converted all of them to do
      that, too. They can call blk_cleanup_queue() now too, using the define
      blk_put_queue() is probably cleaner though.

      [PATCH] remove PF_READAHEAD · 7ec6fb01
      Andrew Morton authored
      The problem with PF_READAHEAD is that if someone does a non-GFP_ATOMIC memory
      allocation we can enter page reclaim and then call writepage, while
      PF_READAHEAD is set.  The block layer then drops writes or the wrong reads on
      the floor.  It can cause data loss.
      
      A fix is complex (well, intrusive).  Given that the readahead code is now
      skipping the entire readahead attempt if the queue is congested, the setting
      of PF_READAHEAD probably is not doing anything useful anyway, so simply
      remove it.

      [PATCH] Athlon Machine Check fix · a9c7b26b
      Dave Jones authored
      There seemed to be increase in Athlon users reporting MCEs in 2.6 that
      they never saw in 2.4 and I didn't buy the "2.6 pushes hardware harder"
      for a second given folks are running 2.4+preempt+O(1) etc patchkits
      without problems.
      
      So I did a mini-audit of the mcheck code.
      
      How embarressing. Another fix that went into 2.4 that never made
      it forward. Once I'm done with various Red Hat administrivia
      I'll see if I can devote some time to going through the changesets
      mailing list. I wonder just how many other really stupid bugs
      like this got fixed and not brought forward.

      The IRQ steering code operates too early at present, and actually

      We should not touch the IRQ MUX register on TI bridges - only the
      machine itself knows the right value for this.  The kernel doesn't
      have the knowledge to know what function the cardbus controllers
      multi-function pins have been assigned by the hardware manufacturer.

      [NET] Fix X.25 use after free. · ee1dc142
      Stephen Hemminger authored
      The conversion from cli/sti to locking in X.25 must not have been tested

      The problem is that it dereferences the socket after it has already been

      x25_destroy_socket do the free.  Also, need a go to avoid references
      in x25_release.
