We have a problem in a lot of emulated storage in that it takes a page from get_user_pages() and does something like kmap_atomic(page) modify page kunmap_atomic(page) However, nothing has flushed the kernel cache view of the page before the kunmap. We need a lightweight API to do this, so this new API would specifically be for flushing the kernel cache view of a user page which the kernel has modified. The driver would need to add flush_kernel_dcache_page(page) before the final kunmap. Signed-off-by:

Currently, get_user_pages() returns fully coherent pages to the kernel for anything other than anonymous pages. This is a problem for things like fuse and the SCSI generic ioctl SG_IO which can potentially wish to do DMA to anonymous pages passed in by users. The fix is to add a new memory management API: flush_anon_page() which is used in get_user_pages() to make anonymous pages coherent. Signed-off-by:

It has been discovered that the remove_proc_entry has a race in the removing of entries in the proc file system that are siblings. There's no protection around the traversing and removing of elements that belong in the same subdirectory. This subdirectory list is protected in other areas by the BKL. So the BKL was at first used to protect this area too, but unfortunately, remove_proc_entry may be called with spinlocks held. The BKL may schedule, so this was not a solution. The final solution was to add a new global spin lock to protect this list, called proc_subdir_lock. This lock now protects the list in remove_proc_entry, and I also went around looking for other areas that this list is modified and added this protection there too. Care must be taken since these locations call several functions that may also schedule. Since I don't see any location that these functions that modify the subdirectory list are called by interrupts, the irqsave/restore versions of the spin lock was _not_ used. Signed-off-by:

free_irq() should not be executed from softirq context. Found by the lock validator. The fix is to push fd_free_irq() into keventd. The code validates fine with this patch applied. (akpm: this is revolting, but so is floppy.c) [akpm@osdl.org: added flush_scheduled_work()] Signed-off-by:

Patch from Nicolas Pitre Quoting RMK: |pte_write() just says that the page _may_ be writable. It doesn't say |that the MMU is programmed to allow writes. If pte_dirty() doesn't |return true, that means that the page is _not_ writable from userspace. |If you write to it from kernel mode (without using put_user) you'll |bypass the MMU read-only protection and may end up writing to a page |owned by two separate processes.

pfn_to_page() and others need to access both memnode_shift and the very first bytes of memnodemap[]. If we force memnode_shift to be just before the memnodemap array, we can reduce the memory footprint to one cache line instead of two for most setups. This patch introduce a 'memnode' structure where shift and map[] are carefully placed. Signed-off-by:

This is required since on a some systems, the bridge may be located on a bus much farther than the first 32. By searching all 256 buses, we guarantee that the search succeeds on such systems. arch/x86_64/kernel/pci-gart.c: The search for the Northbridge is not limited to just bus 0 anymore.
