Alright, this one is only triggered when slab debugging is enabled.  The
slabs are assumed to be aligned on a HUGEPTE_TABLE_SIZE boundary.  The free
path makes use of this assumption and uses the lowest nibble to pass around
an index into an array of kmem_cache pointers.  With slab debugging turned
on, the slab is still aligned, but the "working" object pointer is not.
This would break the assumption above that a full nibble is available for
the PGF_CACHENUM_MASK.

The following patch reduces PGF_CACHENUM_MASK to cover only the two least
significant bits, which is enough to cover the current number of 4 pgtable
cache types.  Then use this constant to mask out the appropriate part of
the huge pte pointer.

      [POWERPC] Fix might-sleep warning on removing cpus · 81b73dd9
      Haren Myneni authored 
      Noticing the following might_sleep warning (dump_stack()) during kdump
testing when CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP is enabled. All secondary CPUs
will be calling rtas_set_indicator with interrupts disabled to remove
them from global interrupt queue.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at

To fix this issue, rtas_set_indicator_fast() is added so that will not
wait for RTAS 'busy' delay and this new function is used for kdump (in
xics_teardown_cpu()) and for CPU hotplug ( xics_migrate_irqs_away() and
xics_setup_cpu()).

Note that the platform architecture spec says that set-indicator
on the indicator we're using here is not permitted to return the
busy or extended busy status codes.

      [POWERPC] fix PMU initialization on pseries lpar · dcc42f48
      Sonny Rao authored 
      We should not be calling power4_enable_pmcs() in
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs(); just doing the hypercall is sufficient.
Prior to 2.6.15 we did not call power4_enable_pmcs() for an lpar.

power4_enable_pmcs() tries to read the hid0 register which is no
longer legal for an lpar in newer Power processors.

      [PATCH] SCX200_ACB: eliminate spurious timeout errors · 3e3183ba
      David Woodhouse authored 
      While busy-waiting for completion, check the hardware after scheduling;
don't schedule and then immediately check the _timeout_.  If the yield()
took a long time (as it does on my OLPC prototype board when it's busy),
we'd report a timeout even though the hardware was now ready.

This fixes it, and also switches the yield() for a cond_resched() because
we don't actually want to be _that_ nice about it.  I see nice
tightly-packed SMBus transactions now, rather than waiting for milliseconds
between successive phases.

Actually, we shouldn't be busy-waiting here at all.  We should be using
interrupts.  That's an exercise for another day though.

      [PATCH] udf: initialize parts of inode earlier in create · 225add61
      Eric Sandeen authored 
      I saw an oops down this path when trying to create a new file on a UDF
filesystem which was internally marked as readonly, but mounted rw:

udf_create
        udf_new_inode
                new_inode
                        alloc_inode
                        	udf_alloc_inode
                udf_new_block
                        returns EIO due to readonlyness
                iput (on error)
                        udf_put_inode
                                udf_discard_prealloc
                                        udf_next_aext
                                                udf_current_aext
                                                        udf_get_fileshortad
                                                                OOPS

the udf_discard_prealloc() path was examining uninitialized fields of the
udf inode.

udf_discard_prealloc() already has this code to short-circuit the discard
path if no extents are preallocated:

        if (UDF_I_ALLOCTYPE(inode) == ICBTAG_FLAG_AD_IN_ICB ||
                inode->i_size == UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode))
        {
                return;
        }

so if we initialize UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode) = 0 earlier in udf_new_inode,
we won't try to free the (not) preallocated blocks, since this will match
the i_size = 0 set when the inode was initialized.

      [PATCH] pnpacpi: reject ACPI_PRODUCER resources · 2b8de5f5
      matthieu castet authored 
      A patch in -mm kernel correct the parsing of "address resources" of pnpacpi.
Before we assumed it was memory only, but it could be also IO.

But this change show an hidden bug : some resources could be producer type
that are not handled by pnp layer.  So we should ignore the producer
resources.

This patch fixes bug 6292 (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6292).
Some devices like PNP0A03 have 0xd00-0xffff and 0x0-0xcf7 as IO producer
resources.

Before correcting "address resources" parsing, it was seen as memory and was
harmless, because nobody tried to reserve this memory range as it should be
IO.

With the correction it become IO resources, and make failed all others device
that want to register IO in this range and use pnp layer (like a ISA sound
card).

The solution is to ignore producer resources

      [PATCH] reiserfs_write_full_page() should not get_block past eof · b4c76fa7
      Chris Mason authored 
      reiserfs_write_full_page does zero bytes in the file past eof, but it may
call get_block on those buffers as well.  On machines where the page size
is larger than the blocksize, this can result in mmaped files incorrectly
growing up to a block boundary during writepage.

The fix is to avoid calling get_block for any blocks that are entirely past
eof
