Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch) Signed-off-by:

There was an I/O error that prevented reading the last partial block of large files in an ISO9660 filesystem. The error was generated when a file comprised more than one section and had a size that was not an exact multiple of the filesystem block size. This patch removes the check (and failure) for reading into the last partial block (and possibly beyond) for multiple-section files. It worked in my testing to prevent reading beyond the end of the section; my first patch just incremented the sect_size block count for a partial block and continued doing the check. But there is a commment in the source code about reading beyond the end of the file to fill a page cache. Failing to access beyond the section would prevent reading beyond the end of the file.

When a posix_cpu_nsleep() sleep is interrupted by a signal more than twice, it incorrectly reports the sleep time remaining to the user. Because posix_cpu_nsleep() doesn't report back to the user when it's called from restart function due to the wrong flags handling. This patch, which applies after previous one, moves the nanosleep() function from posix_cpu_nsleep() to do_cpu_nanosleep() and cleans up the flags handling appropriately. Signed-off-by:

The clock_nanosleep() function does not return the time remaining when the sleep is interrupted by a signal. This patch creates a new call out, compat_clock_nanosleep_restart(), which handles returning the remaining time after a sleep is interrupted. This patch revives clock_nanosleep_restart(). It is now accessed via the new call out. The compat_clock_nanosleep_restart() is used for compatibility access. Since this is implemented in compatibility mode the normal path is virtually unaffected - no real performance impact. Signed-off-by:

Memory leaks can happen in the vc_resize() function in drivers/char/vt.c because of the vc->vc_screenbuf variable overriding in vc_allocate(). The kmemleak reported trace is as follows: <__kmalloc> <vc_resize> <fbcon_init> <visual_init> <vc_allocate> <con_open> <tty_open> <chrdev_open> This patch no longer allocates a screen buffer in vc_allocate() if it was already allocated by vc_resize().

Spawing ksoftirqd, migration, or watchdog, and calling init_timers_cpu() may fail with small memory. If it happens in initcalls, kernel NULL pointer dereference happens later.

Remove some code which is unneeded if CONFIG_PM=n. * Make suspend/resume registration look like the rest of drivers: #ifdef CONFIG_PM in struct pci_driver, prototypes, actual hooks. * Drop CS46XX_ACPI_SUPPORT. It logically duplicated CONFIG_PM. It was hardcoded to 1 approx forever (ALSA merge just moved driver to sound/oss/). * After previous point, sound/oss/cs46xxpm-24.h removed as being useless. * As side effect selling (unused) static inline functions as suspend/resume hooks funkiness removed too.

The problem is that close() syscalls can call a file system's flush handler, which in turn might sleep interruptibly and ultimately pass back an -ERESTARTSYS return value. This happens for files backed by an interruptible NFS mount under nfs_file_flush() when a large file has just been written and nfs_wait_bit_interruptible() detects that there is a signal pending. I have a test case where the "strace" command is used to attach to a process sleeping in such a close(). Since the SIGSTOP is forced onto the victim process (removing it from the thread's "blocked" mask in force_sig_info()), the RPC wait is interrupted and the close() is terminated early. But the file table entry has already been cleared before the flush handler was called. Thus, when the syscall is restarted, the file descriptor appears closed and an EBADF error is returned (which is wrong). What's worse, there is the hypothetical case where another thread of a multi-threaded application might have reused the file descriptor, in which case that file would be mistakenly closed. The bottom line is that close() syscalls are not restartable, and thus -ERESTARTSYS return values should be mapped to -EINTR. This is consistent with the close(2) manual page. The fix is below.

Both __kfifo_put() and __kfifo_get() have header comments stating that if there is but one concurrent reader and one concurrent writer, locking is not necessary. This is almost the case, but a couple of memory barriers are needed. Another option would be to change the header comments to remove the bit about locking not being needed, and to change the those callers who currently don't use locking to add the required locking. The attachment analyzes this approach, but the patch below seems simpler. Signed-off-by:

The code in __register_chrdev_region checks that if the driver wishing to register has the same major as an existing driver the new minor range is strictly less than the existing minor range. However, it does not also check that the new minor range is strictly greater than the existing minor range. That is, if driver X has registered with major=x and minor=0-3, __register_chrdev_region will allow driver Y to register with major=x and minor=1-4. Signed-off-by:

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by:

This appears to be the only usage of is_init in the kernel besides the usage in sched.h. On ia64 the same function is called in_init. So to remove the conflict and make the kernel more consistent rename is_init is_core is_local and is_local_section to in_init in_core in_local and in_local_section respectively. Thanks to Adrian Bunk who spotted this, and to Matthew Wilcox who suggested this fix. Signed-off-by:

Fixed race on put_files_struct on exec with proc. Restoring files on current on error path may lead to proc having a pointer to already kfree-d files_struct. ->files changing at exit.c and khtread.c are safe as exit_files() makes all things under lock.

The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the resize against the tty structure updates. This means that while two parallel resizes cannot mess up the console you can get incorrect results reported. Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the console. This leaves all knowledge of the console_sem in the vt/console driver and kicks it out of the tty layer, which is good Thirdly while doing this I decided I couldn't stand "disallocate" any longer so I switched it to "deallocate".
