      paride drivers: initialize spinlocks · 671d40f4
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      pcd_lock and pf_spin_lock are passed to blk_init_queue() which, seeing them
      as valid lock pointer, sets it as ->queue_lock.
      
      The problem is that pcd_lock and pf_spin_lock aren't initialized anywhere.

      Taskstats fix the structure members alignment issue · 7e40f2ab
      Balbir Singh authored
      We broke the the alignment of members of taskstats to the 8 byte boundary
      with the CSA patches.  In the current kernel, the taskstats structure is
      not suitable for use by 32 bit applications in a 64 bit kernel.

      This is one way to solve the problem without re-arranging structure members
      is to pack the structure.  The patch adds an __attribute__((aligned(8))) to
      the taskstats structure members so that 32 bit applications using taskstats
      can work with a 64 bit kernel.
      
      Using __attribute__((packed)) would break the 64 bit alignment of members.
      
      The fix was tested on x86_64. After the fix, we got

      I encountered the following kernel panic.  The cause of this problem was
      NULL pointer access in check_modem_status() in 8250.c.  I confirmed this
      problem is fixed by the attached patch, but I don't know this is the

      Fix the possible NULL pointer access in check_modem_status() in 8250.c.  The
      check_modem_status() would access 'info' member of uart_port structure, but it
      is not initialized before uart_open() is called.  The check_modem_status() can
      be called through /proc/tty/driver/serial before uart_open() is called.

      oom_kill_task() calls __oom_kill_task() to OOM kill a selected task.
      When finding other threads that share an mm with that task, we need to
