Shame on me! Commit b1dea800ac39 "tmpfs: fix race between umount and
writepage" fixed the advertized race, but introduced another: as even
its comment makes clear, we cannot safely rely on a peek at list_empty()
while holding no lock - until info->swapped is set, shmem_unuse_inode()
may delete any formerly-swapped inode from the shmem_swaplist, which
in this case would leave a swap area impossible to swapoff.
Although I don't relish taking the mutex every time, I don't care much
for the alternatives either; and at least the peek at list_empty() in
shmem_evict_inode() (a hotter path since most inodes would never have
been swapped) remains safe, because we already truncated the whole file.

This moves the
if (num_registered_fb == FB_MAX)
return -ENXIO;
check _AFTER_ the call to do_remove_conflicting_framebuffers() as this
would (now in a safe way) allow a native driver to replace the
conflicting one even if all slots in registered_fb[] are taken.
This also prevents unregistering a framebuffer that is no longer
registered (vga16f will unregister at module unload time even if the
frame buffer had been unregistered earlier due to being found
conflicting).

When a register_framebuffer() call results in us removing old
conflicting framebuffers, the new registration_lock doesn't protect that
situation. And we can't just add the same locking to the function,
because these functions call each other: register_framebuffer() calls
remove_conflicting_framebuffers, which in turn calls
unregister_framebuffer for any conflicting entry.
In order to fix it, this just creates wrapper functions around all three
functions and makes the versions that actually do the work be called
"do_xxx()", leaving just the wrapper that gets the lock and calls the
worker function.
So the rule becomes simply that "do_xxxx()" has to be called with the
lock held, and now do_register_framebuffer() can just call
do_remove_conflicting_framebuffers(), and that in turn can call
_do_unregister_framebuffer(), and there is no deadlock, and we can hold
the registration lock over the whole sequence, fixing the races.
It also makes error cases simpler, and fixes one situation where we
would return from unregister_framebuffer() without releasing the lock,
pointed out by Bruno Prémont.

This reverts commit 270dac35c26433d06a89150c51e75ca0181ca7e4.
The commits causes command timeouts on AC plug/unplug. It isn't yet
clear why. As the commit was for a single rather obscure controller,
revert the change for now.
The problem was reported and bisected by Gu Rui in bug#34692.

With some combinations of arch/compiler (e.g. arm-linux-gcc) the sizeof
operator on structure returns value greater than expected. In cases when the
structure is used for mapping PDU fields it may lead to unexpected results
(such as holes and alignment problems in skb data). __packed prevents this
undesired behavior.

Since commit e9df2e8fd8fbc9 (Use appropriate sock tclass setting for
routing lookup) we lost ability to properly add ECN codemarks to ipv6
TCP frames.
It seems like TCP_ECN_send() calls INET_ECN_xmit(), which only sets the
ECN bit in the IPv4 ToS field (inet_sk(sk)->tos), but after the patch,
what's checked is inet6_sk(sk)->tclass, which is a completely different
field.
Close bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34322
[Eric Dumazet] : added the INET_ECN_dontxmit() fix and replace macros
by inline functions for clarity.

We enabled write-combining for memory-mapped registers in commit
65f0b417dee94f779ce9b77102b7d73c93723b39, but inhibited it for the
MCDI shared memory where this is not supported. However,
write-combining mappings also allow read-reordering, which may also
be a problem.
I found that when an SFC9000-family controller is connected to an
Intel 3000 chipset, and write-combining is enabled, the controller
stops responding to PCIe read requests during driver initialisation
while the driver is polling for completion of an MCDI command. This
results in an NMI and system hang. Adding read memory barriers
between all reads to the shared memory area appears to reduce but not
eliminate the probability of this.
We have not yet established whether this is a bug in our BIU or in the
PCIe bridge. For now, work around by mapping the shared memory area
separately.

We occasionally see list corruption using libertas.
While we haven't been able to diagnose this precisely, we have spotted
a possible cause: cmdpendingq is generally modified with driver_lock
held. However, there are a couple of points where this is not the case.
Fix up those operations to execute under the lock, it seems like
the correct thing to do and will hopefully improve the situation.

We should not switch to non-IBSS channels when working in IBSS mode,
otherwise there are microcode errors, and after some time system
crashes.
This bug is only observable when software scan is used in IBSS mode,
so should be considered as regression after:
commit 0263aa45293838b514b8af674a03faf040991a90
Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com>
Date: Tue Mar 29 11:24:21 2011 +0200
iwl3945: disable hw scan by default
However IBSS mode check, which this patch add again, was removed by
commit b2f30e8bdd8ef5f3b5a7ef9146509585a15347d3
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Date: Thu Jan 21 07:32:20 2010 -0800
iwlwifi: remove IBSS channel sanity check
That commit claim that mac80211 will not use non-IBSS channel in IBSS
mode, what definitely is not true. Bug probably should be fixed in
mac80211, but that will require more work, so better to apply that patch
temporally, and provide proper mac80211 fix latter.

during suspend/S3 state drv_flush is called from mac80211 irrespective of
interface count. In ath9k we queue a work in ath9k_flush which we expect
to be cancelled in the drv_stop call back. during suspend process mac80211
calls drv_stop only when the interface count(local->count) is non-zero.
unfortunately when the network manager is enabled, drv_flush is called
while drv_stop is not called as local->count reaches '0'.
So fix this by simply checking for the device presence in the
drv_flush call back in the driver before queueing work or anything else.
this patch fixes the following WARNING

When we are disconnecting, we set PS off, but this happens before we
send the deauth/disassoc request. When the deauth/disassoc frames are
sent, we trigger the dynamic ps timer, which then times out and turns
PS back on. Thus, PS remains on after disconnecting, causing problems
when associating again.
This can be fixed by preventing the timer to start when we're not
associated anymore.

For nfs4_async_handle_error, return -EAGAIN and set the task->tk_status to 0
to restart the async rpc in the rpc_restart_call_prepare state which resets
the slot.
For nfs4_handle_exception, retrying a call that uses nfs4_call_sync will
reset the slot via nfs41_call_sync_prepare.
For open/close/lock/locku/delegreturn/layoutcommit/unlink/rename/write

My Q67 / i7-2600 box has rev09 Sandy Bridge graphics. It hangs
instantly when GNOME loads and it hangs so hard the reset button
doesn't work. Setting i915.semaphore=0 fixes it.
Semaphores were disabled in a1656b9090f7 ("drm/i915: Disable GPU
semaphores by default") in 2.6.38 but were then re-enabled (by mistake?)
by the merge 47ae63e0c2e5 ("Merge branch 'drm-intel-fixes' into
drm-intel-next").
(It's worth noting that the offending change is i915_drv.c, which was
not marked as a conflict - although a 'git show --cc' on the merge does
show that neither parent had it set to 1)

It's a hot function, and we're better off not mixing types in the mask
calculations. The compiler just ends up mixing 16-bit and 32-bit
operations, for no good reason.
So do everything in 'unsigned int' rather than mixing 'unsigned int'
masking with a 'umode_t' (16-bit) mode variable.
This, together with the parent commit (47a150edc2ae: "Cache user_ns in
struct cred") makes acl_permission_check() much nicer.

If !CONFIG_USERNS, have current_user_ns() defined to (&init_user_ns).
Get rid of _current_user_ns. This requires nsown_capable() to be
defined in capability.c rather than as static inline in capability.h,
so do that.
Request_key needs init_user_ns defined at current_user_ns if
!CONFIG_USERNS, so forward-declare that in cred.h if !CONFIG_USERNS
at current_user_ns() define.
Compile-tested with and without CONFIG_USERNS.

kptr_restrict has been triggering bugs in apps such as perf, and it also makes
the system less useful by default, so turn it off by default.
This is how we generally handle security features that remove functionality,
such as firewall code or SELinux - they have to be configured and activated
from user-space.
Distributions can turn kptr_restrict on again via this line in
/etc/sysctrl.conf:
kernel.kptr_restrict = 1
( Also mark the variable __read_mostly while at it, as it's typically modified
only once per bootup, or not at all. )

The move over to exposing snd_soc_register_card() let the initialisation
of the driver data we use to find the card in PM operations go AWOL. Fix
this by setting the driver data when we register the card.

The i2s shutdown callback has the check whether it should be disabled reversed.
Currently it is disabled if another stream is still active, but kept enabled if
the last stream is closed. This patch fixes it.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y I see these warnings in next-20110415:
LD vmlinux.o
MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1ba48): Section mismatch in reference from the function native_pagetable_reserve() to the function .init.text:memblock_x86_reserve_range()
The function native_pagetable_reserve() references
the function __init memblock_x86_reserve_range().
This is often because native_pagetable_reserve lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of memblock_x86_reserve_range is wrong.
This patch fixes the issue.
Thanks to pipacs from PaX project for help on IRC.

Introduce a new x86_init hook called pagetable_reserve that at the end
of init_memory_mapping is used to reserve a range of memory addresses for
the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones.
On native it just calls memblock_x86_reserve_range while on xen it also
takes care of setting the spare memory previously allocated
for kernel pagetable pages from RO to RW, so that it can be used for
other purposes.
A detailed explanation of the reason why this hook is needed follows.
As a consequence of the commit:
commit 4b239f458c229de044d6905c2b0f9fe16ed9e01e

x86-64, mm: Put early page table high
at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages
area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls
in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument).
Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and
everything is fine.
Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range
pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they
are going to be mapped RW. When these pages become pagetable pages and
are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already
a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation.
The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs
to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation
operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c).
In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation
is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by
init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one
of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those
ranges are RO).
For this reason we need a hook to reserve the kernel pagetable pages we
used and free the other ones so that they can be reused for other
purposes.
On native it just means calling memblock_x86_reserve_range, on Xen it
also means marking RW the pagetable pages that we allocated before but
that haven't been used before.
Another way to fix this is without using the hook is by adding a 'if
(xen_pv_domain)' in the 'init_memory_mapping' code and calling the Xen
counterpart, but that is just nasty.
