attached patch fixes penguin with sgi framebuffer logo for
visws subarch. It was broken in 2.5.68 IIRC.

From: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com>

Basically, freeary() is called with the spinlock for that semaphore set
hold.  But after the semaphore set is removed from the ID array by
calling sem_rmid(), there is no lock to protect the waiting queue for
that semaphore set.  So, if a waiter is woken up by a signal (not by the
wakeup from freeary()), it will check the q->status and q->prev fields.
At that moment, freeary() may not have a chance to update those fields
yet.

static void freeary (int id)
{
	.......
        sma = sem_rmid(id);

	......
        /* Wake up all pending processes and let them fail with EIDRM.*/
        for (q = sma->sem_pending; q; q = q->next) {
                q->status = -EIDRM;
                q->prev = NULL;
                wake_up_process(q->sleeper); /* doesn't sleep */
        }
        sem_unlock(sma);
	......
}

So I propose move sem_rmid() after the loop of waking up every waiters.
That could gurantee that when the waiters are woke up, the updates for
q->status and q->prev have already done.  Similar thing in message queue
case.  The patch is attached below. Comments are very welcomed.

I have tested this patch on 2.5.68 kernel with LTP tests, seems fine to
me. Paul, could you test this on DOTS test again? Thanks!

exit_mmap() currently assumes that the exitting task used virtual address
span TASK_SIZE.

But on some platforms, TASK_SIZE is variable, based on current->mm.

But exit_mmap() can be called from (say) procfs's call to mmput.  In which
case current->mm has nothing to do with the mm which is being put in
mmput().

So rather than assuming that the mm which is being put is current->mm, we
need to calculate the virtual span of the mm.  Add a new per-arch macro
MM_VM_SIZE() for that.

Some platforms can currently go BUG over this (where?).  sparc64 is safe
because our TASK_SIZE is constant.

Platforms such as ia64 should stick the VM extent inside of mm_struct, I'd
suggest adding it to mm_context_t.

1) TASK_SIZE means what is valid for mmap()'s in the processes
   address space

2) MM_VM_SIZE means where things might be mapped for a MM, including
   private implementation-specific areas created by the kernel
   which the user cannot access

__module_get is theoretically allowed on module inside init, since we
already hold an implicit reference.  Currently this BUG()s: make the
reference count explicit, which also simplifies delete path.  Also cleans
up unload path, such that it only drops semaphore when it's actually
sleeping for rmmod --wait.

I'm sending a fix which fixes potential problems (dropping references which
were not acquired) when dquot_transfer() fails.

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

I'm sending a patch which changes numbers of blocks reserved for quota writes
to more appropriate values (with current values ext3 asserts can be
triggered).

The proc interface has no way of telling wether there is an active cpufreq
driver or not. This means that if you don't have a cpufreq supported
processor, this will oops in various possible places.

When a new vma can be merged simultaneously with its two immediate
neighbours in both directions, vma_merge() extends the predecessor vma and
deletes the successor.  However, if the vma maps a file, it fails to fput()
when doing the delete, leaving the file's refcount inconsistent.

This simple patch makes the linux fat filesystem driver use the
next_cluster field in the fat_boot_fsinfo structure.  This field is a hint
where to start looking for free clusters.

Using this field makes a big difference for disks connected over slow links
such as USB 1.1.  Finding the first free cluster on a 40gig fat-formatted
usb disk can today take several minutes.  This patch cuts it down to a
fraction of a second.

Also, commit the next_cluster search hint toand from the superblock in
write_super/fill_super.

It looks like I guessed wrong on this one.

Whee! devfs_register isn't used anymore in the whole tree and with

The patch below updates the other platforms with module_arch_cleanup().
Also, I added more debug output to kernel/module.c since I found it useful
to be able to see the final section layout.

- Fix the sig_notify filtering code for the timer_create system call to
  properly check for the signal number being small enought, but only if
  SIG_NONE is not specified.

- Eliminate useless test of sig_notify.

Looks like the recent access_ok fixes broke building of i386.
__verify_write is still referenced in a couple places.

Some of the fancier slab debugging options are disabled for caches whose
objects are larger than PAGE_SIZE/8, for speed/fragmentation reasons.

But this patch turns up bugs in the size-2048 slab, so it was a bad idea.
Enable the debugging for slabs up to 4096 bytes.

C preprocessor expressions work, guys!)

Here are three more fixes which I missed in the previous patch.
