The current calling conventions for ->follow_link() are already fairly complex. What we have is 1) you can return -error; then you must release nameidata yourself and ->put_link() will _not_ be called. 2) you can do nd_set_link(nd, ERR_PTR(-error)) and return 0 3) you can do nd_set_link(nd, path) and return 0 4) you can return 0 (after having moved nameidata yourself) jffs2 follow_link() is broken - it has an exit where it returns -EIO and leaks nameidata.

This patch fixes a false-positive from debug_smp_processor_id(). The processor ID is only used to look up crypto_tfm objects. Any processor ID is acceptable here as long as it is one that is iterated on by for_each_cpu(). Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

Change operations on rif_lock from spin_{un}lock_bh to spin_{un}lock_irq{save,restore} equivalents. Some of the rif_lock critical sections are called from interrupt context via tr_type_trans->tr_add_rif_info. The TR NIC drivers call tr_type_trans from their packet receive handlers.

The DM9000 driver is responding to ioctl() calls it should not be. This can cause problems with the wireless tools incorrectly indentifying the device as wireless capable, and crashing under certain operations. This patch also moves the version printk() to the init call, so that you only get it once for multiple devices, and to show it is loaded if there are no defined dm9000s Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

Fix DM9000 driver usage of spinlocks, which mainly came to light when running a kernel with spinlock debugging. These come down to: 1) Un-initialised spin lock 2) Several cases of using spin_xxx(lock) and not spin_xxx(&lock) 3) move the locking around the phy reg for read/write to only keep the lock when actually reading or writing to the phy.

drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.c uses symbols ide_build_sglist, __ide_dma_off_quietly, __ide_dma_on and __ide_dma_timeout when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PMAC is defined. The declarations for these symbols (in ide.h) depend on CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI. There is a missing dependency for this in drivers/ide/Kconfig which causes drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.c to fail to build if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PMAC is selected but CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI is not.

... otherwise we might try to load a bitmap from an array which hasn't one. The bug is that if you create an array with an internal bitmap, shut it down, and then create an array with the same md device, the md drive will assume it should have a bitmap too. As the array can be created with a different md device, it is mostly an inconvenience. I'm pretty sure there is no risk of data corruption.

Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely from the NFS client. To do this, we need to protect the fields in the nfs_inode structure adequately. Start by serializing updates to the "cache_validity" field. Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the "cache_validity" field without proper serialization. Test plan: Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients. Run Nick Wilson's breaknfs program on large SMP clients.

Introduce atomic bitops to manipulate the bits in the nfs_inode structure's "flags" field. Using bitops means we can use a generic wait_on_bit call instead of an ad hoc locking scheme in fs/nfs/inode.c, so we can remove the "nfs_i_wait" field from nfs_inode at the same time. The other new flags field will continue to use bitmask and logic AND and OR. This permits several flags to be set at the same time efficiently. The following patch adds a spin lock to protect these flags, and this spin lock will later cover other fields in the nfs_inode structure, amortizing the cost of using this type of serialization. Test plan: Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.

Certain bits in nfsi->flags can be manipulated with atomic bitops, and some are better manipulated via logical bitmask operations. This patch splits the flags field into two.

This fixes a bug in the PPC64 iommu vmerge code which results in the potential for iommu_unmap_sg to go off unmapping more than it should.
