      [PATCH] Fix misrouted interrupts deadlocks · f72fa707
      Pavel Emelianov authored 
      While testing kernel on machine with "irqpoll" option I've caught such a
lockup:

	__do_IRQ()
	   spin_lock(&desc->lock);
           desc->chip->ack(); /* IRQ is ACKed */
	note_interrupt()
	misrouted_irq()
	handle_IRQ_event()
           if (...)
	      local_irq_enable_in_hardirq();
	/* interrupts are enabled from now */
	...
	__do_IRQ() /* same IRQ we've started from */
	   spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* LOCKUP */

Looking at misrouted_irq() code I've found that a potential deadlock like
this can also take place:

1CPU:
__do_IRQ()
   spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
misrouted_irq()
   for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
      spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
      if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {

2CPU:
__do_IRQ()
   spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
misrouted_irq()
   for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
      spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
      if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {

As the second lock on both CPUs is taken before checking that this irq is
being handled in another processor this may cause a deadlock.  This issue
is only theoretical.

I propose the attached patch to fix booth problems: when trying to handle
misrouted IRQ active desc->lock may be unlocked.

      On running the Stress Test on machine for more than 72 hours following

The problem is because of race window.  When if(expand) block is executed in
dup_fd unlocking of oldf->file_lock give a window for fdtable in oldf to be
modified.  So actual open_files in oldf may not match with open_files
variable.

      [PATCH] Fix missing parens in set_personality() · d8b295f2
      Russell King authored 
      If you call set_personality() with an expression such as:

	set_personality(foo ? PERS_FOO1 : PERS_FOO2);

then this evaluates to:

	((current->personality == foo ? PERS_FOO1 : PERS_FOO2) ? ...

which is obviously not the intended result.  Add the missing parents
to ensure this gets evaluated as expected:

	((current->personality == (foo ? PERS_FOO1 : PERS_FOO2)) ? ...

      [PATCH] mspec driver build fix · 1a4b0fc5
      Jes Sorensen authored 
      Fix MSPEC driver to build for non SN2 enabled configs as the driver should
work in cached and uncached modes (no fetchop) on these systems.  In
addition make MSPEC select IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR, which is required for
it and move it to arch/ia64/Kconfig to avoid warnings on non ia64
architectures running allmodconfig.  Once the Kconfig code is fixed, we can
move it back.

      [PATCH] pci: don't try to remove sysfs files before they are setup. · d67afe5e
      David Miller authored 
      The PCI sysfs attributes are created after the initial PCI bus scan.  With
the addition of more return value checking and assertions in the device and
sysfs layers we now can get dumps like this on sparc64:

[   20.135032] Call Trace:
[   20.135042]  [0000000000537f88] pci_remove_bus_device+0x30/0xc0

[   20.135514] PCI0(PBMB): Bus running at 33MHz

It's triggering because removal of the "config" PCI sysfs file for the
device fails.

On sparc64, after probing the device, we'll delete the PCI device via
pci_remove_bus_device() if we cannot find the firmware device tree node
corresponding to it.

This is fine, but at this point the sysfs files for the PCI device won't be
setup yet.

So we should not try to do anything in pci_remove_sysfs_dev_files() if
pci_sysfs_init() has not run yet.

      [PATCH] vmalloc: optimization, cleanup, bugfixes · 2b4ac44e
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      - reorder 'struct vm_struct' to speedup lookups on CPUS with small cache
  lines.  The fields 'next,addr,size' should be now in the same cache line,
  to speedup lookups.

- One minor cleanup in __get_vm_area_node()

- Bugfixes in vmalloc_user() and vmalloc_32_user() NULL returns from
  __vmalloc() and __find_vm_area() were not tested.
