The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are broken on original i386 machines, where WP-works-ok == false, as __copy_to_user_inatomic() on such systems calls functions which might sleep and/or contain cond_resched() calls inside of a kmap_atomic() region. The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap. Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are taken. This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomicby moving the check for WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive and can be done later.

On a multiprocessor machine the VT_WAITACTIVE ioctl call may return 0 if fg_console has already been updated in redraw_screen() but the console switch itself hasn't been completed. Fix this by checking fg_console in vt_waitactive() with the console sem held.

Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode driver to hang during the resume. The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and hangs. It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it from disk. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Lockdep reported cmos_suspend() and cmos_resume() calling rtc_update_irq() with IRQs enabled; not allowed. Also fix problems seen on some hardware, whereby false alarm IRQs could be reported (primarily to userspace); and update two comments to match changes in ACPI. Those make up most of this patch, by volume.

Revert e92a4d59. Dmitry points out "When we block_prepare_write() failed while ext3_prepare_write() we jump to "failure" label and call ext3_prepare_failure() witch search last mapped bh and invoke commit_write untill it. This is wrong!! because some bh from begining to the last mapped bh may be not uptodate. As a result we commit to disk not uptodate page content witch contains garbage from previous usage." and "Unexpected file size increasing." Call trace the same as it was in first issue but result is different. For example we have file with i_size is zero. we want write two blocks , but fs has only one free block. ->ext3_prepare_write(...from == 0, to == 2048) retry: ->block_prepare_write() == -ENOSPC# we failed but allocated one block here. ->ext3_prepare_failure() ->commit_write( from == 0, to == 1024) # after this i_size becomes 1024 :) if (ret == -ENOSPC && ext3_should_retry_alloc(inode->i_sb, &retries)) goto retry; Finally when all retries will be spended ext3_prepare_failure return -ENOSPC, but i_size was increased and later block trimm procedures can't help here. We don't appear to have the horsepower to fix these issues, so let's put things back the way they were for now.

It seems that there must be at least one node in mems and at least one CPU in cpus in order to be able to assign tasks to a cpuset. This makes sense. And I think it would also make sense to include a mems setting in the basic usage section of the documentation. I also wonder if something logged to dmsg, explaining why a write failed, would be a good enhancement. I ended up having rummage arround in cpuset.c in order to work out why my configuration was failing.

Currently we have a confused udelay implementation. * __const_udelay does not accept usecs but xloops in i386 and x86_64 * our implementation requires usecs as arg * it gets a xloops count when called by asm/arch/delay.h Bugs related to this (extremely long shutdown times) where reported by some x86_64 users, especially using Device Mapper. To hit this bug, a compile-time constant time parameter must be passed - that's why UML seems to work most times. Fix this with a simple udelay implementation.

This patch: - Switches mb/rmb/wmb back to being full-blown DMBs on ARM SMP systems, since mb/rmb/wmb are required to order Normal memory accesses as well. - Enables the use of DMB and ISB on XSC3 (which is an ARMv5TE ISA core but conforms to the ARMv6 memory ordering model and supports the various ARMv6 barriers.) - Makes DMA coherent platforms (only ixp23xx at the moment) map mb/rmb/wmb to dmb(), as on DMA coherent platforms, DMA consistent mappings are done as Normal mappings, which are weakly ordered.

This patch addresses the following issues with the pxa2xx FIr driver: 1. increment overrun error counter and not frame error counter on ICSR1_ROR bit set in ICSR1. 2. drop frames reported with the frame error from the IC. 3. when resetting the receiver and preparing it for the next DMA in pxa_irda_fir_irq() actually clear the Rx FIFO. See description in Table 11-2 in PXA270 Developer's Manual of the RXE bit. Correction added in version 2: clearing the IC Rx FIFO also has to be done in pxa_irda_fir_dma_tx_irq() Signed-off-by: G.

Commit 2e3646e5 changed the way the split config tree is built, but failed to also adjust fixdep accordingly - if changing a config option from or to m, files referencing the respective CONFIG_..._MODULE (but not the corresponding CONFIG_...) didn't get rebuilt. The problem is that trisate symbol are represent with three different symbols: SYMBOL=n => no symbol defined SYMBOL=y => CONFIG_SYMBOL defined to '1' SYMBOL=m => CONFIG_SYMBOL_MODULE defined to '1' But conf_split_config do not distingush between the =y and =m case, so only the =y case is honoured. This is fixed in fixdep so when a CONFIG symbol with _MODULE is found we skip that part and only look for the CONFIG_SYMBOL version.

local_irq_restore -> raw_local_irq_restore -> irq_restore_epilog -> smtc_ipi_replay -> smtc_ipi_dq -> spin_unlock_irqrestore -> _spin_unlock_irqrestore -> local_irq_restore The recursion does abort when there is no more IPI queued for a CPU, so this isn't usually fatal which is why we got away with this for so long until this was discovered by code inspection.
