Adding a drive to a linear array seems to have stopped working, due to changes elsewhere in md, and insufficient ongoing testing... So the patch to make linear hot-add work in the first place introduced a subtle bug elsewhere that interracts poorly with older version of mdadm. This fixes it all up. Signed-off-by:

It is possible that real data or metadata follows the bitmap without full page alignment. So limit the last write to be only the required number of bytes, rounded up to the hard sector size of the device. Signed-off-by:

If a raid0 has a component device larger than 4TB, and is accessed on a 32bit machines, then as 'chunk' is unsigned long, chunk << chunksize_bits can overflow (this can be as high as the size of the device in KB). chunk itself will not overflow (without triggering a BUG). So change 'chunk' to be 'sector_t, and get rid of the 'BUG' as it becomes impossible to hit. Cc: "Jeff Zheng" <Jeff.Zheng@endace.com> Signed-off-by:

Maximum number of I2O drivers which could be registered is configurable by max_drivers module parameter. But the module parameter is ignored and default value (I2O_MAX_DRIVERS = 8) is used in the loops to notify all registered drivers. Cc: Markus Lidel <Markus.Lidel@shadowconnect.com> Signed-off-by:

i2o_driver_register() initalizes event queue for driver only when drv->event is set. So similarly the event queue should be destroyed only when drv->event is set in the error path. Otherwise destroy_workqueue() will called with NULL. Cc: Markus Lidel <Markus.Lidel@shadowconnect.com> Signed-off-by:

Gathering signals in bulk enables server applications to drain a signal queue (almost full of realtime signals) more efficiently by reducing the syscall and file look-up overhead. Very similar to the sigtimedwait4() call described by Niels Provos, Chuck Lever, and Stephen Tweedie in a paper entitled "Analyzing the Overload Behavior of a Simple Web Server". The paper lists more details and advantages. Signed-off-by:

cleanup_workqueue_thread() and cwq_should_stop() are overcomplicated. Convert the code to use kthread_should_stop/kthread_stop as was suggested by Gautham and Srivatsa. In particular this patch removes the (unlikely) busy-wait loop from the exit path, it was a temporary and ugly kludge (if not a bug). Note: the current code was designed to solve another old problem: work->func can't share locks with hotplug callbacks. I think this could be done, see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=116905366428633 but this needs some more complications to preserve CPU affinity of cwq->thread during cpu_up(). A freezer-based hotplug looks more appealing. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make it more tolerant of gcc borkenness] Signed-off-by:

Christoph Lameter authored
The check for super sized slabs where we can no longer move the free pointer behind the object for debugging purposes etc is accessing a field that is not setup yet. We must use objsize here since the size of the slab has not been determined yet. The effect of this is that a global slab shrink via "slabinfo -s" will show errors about offsets being wrong if booted with slub_debug. Potentially there are other troubles with huge slabs under slub_debug because the calculated free pointer offset is truncated. Signed-off-by:

Here are some small fixes for the imxfb framebuffer driver: - remove ifndef for MX1FS2 platform which is not present in the kernel. - REV, CLS, PS and SPL_SPR are only needed with some sharp displays. Only setup the corresponding io pins when such a display is connected. Signed-off-by:

Steve Hawkes discovered a problem where recalc_sigpending_tsk was called in do_sigaction but no signal_wake_up call was made, preventing later signals from waking up blocked threads with TIF_SIGPENDING already set. In fact, the few other calls to recalc_sigpending_tsk outside the signals code are also subject to this problem in other race conditions. This change makes recalc_sigpending_tsk private to the signals code. It changes the outside calls, as well as do_sigaction, to use the new recalc_sigpending_and_wake instead. Signed-off-by:

There have been a number of instances where people have accidentally compiled rcutorture into the kernel (CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y), which has never been useful, and has often resulted in great frustration. The attached patch prohibits rcutorture from being compiled into the kernel. It may be excluded altogether or compiled as a module. People wishing to have rcutorture hammer their machine immediately upon boot are free to hand-edit lib/Kconfig.debug to remove the "depends on m" line. Thanks to Randy Dunlap for the trick that makes this work. Signed-off-by:

Allow user space to determine if a disk supports Asynchronous Notification of media changes. This is done by adding a new sysfs file "capability_flags", which is documented in (insert file name). This sysfs file will export all disk capabilities flags to user space. We also define a new flag to define the media change notification capability. Signed-off-by:
