patch 0b531676 in mainline. ipw2200 makes extensive use of background scanning when unassociated or down. Unfortunately, the firmware sends scan completed events many times per second, which the driver pushes directly up to userspace. This needlessly wakes up processes listening for wireless events many times per second. Batch together scan completed events for non-user-requested scans and send them up to userspace every 4 seconds. Scan completed events resulting from an SIOCSIWSCAN call are pushed up without delay.

patch c399da0d in mainline. x86: fix freeze in x86_64 RTC update code in time_64.c Fix hard freeze on x86_64 when the ntpd service calls update_persistent_clock() A repeatable but randomly timed freeze has been happening in Fedora 6 and 7 for the last year, whenever I run the ntpd service on my AMD64x2 HP Pavilion dv9000z laptop. This freeze is due to the use of spin_lock(&rtc_lock) under the assumption (per a bad comment) that set_rtc_mmss is called only with interrupts disabled. The call from ntp.c to update_persistent_clock is made with interrupts enabled. [ tglx@linutronix.de: ported to 2.6.23.stable ] Signed-off-by:

patch fa6a1a55 in mainline. ntp: fix typo that makes sync_cmos_clock erratic Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC) clock when synced to NTP to behave erratically. When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the sync_cmos_clock procedure. I discovered that it was not syncing to cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying every second for hours at a time. The reason turned out to be a typo in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1 second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to "xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime" but not equal to it. This makes the test erratic, creating a "coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is needlessly incorrect, too.

patch 84e0fdb1 in mainline. x86: NX bit handling in change_page_attr() This patch fixes a bug of change_page_attr/change_page_attr_addr on Intel x86_64 CPUs. After changing page attribute to be executable with these functions, the page remains un-executable on Intel x86_64 CPU. Because on Intel x86_64 CPU, only if the "NX" bits of all four level page tables are cleared, the corresponding page is executable (refer to section 4.13.2 of Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual). So, the bug is fixed through clearing the "NX" bit of PMD when splitting the huge PMD. Signed-off-by:

No patch in mainline as this logic has been removed from 2.6.24 so it is not necessary. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340161 The problem code has been removed in 2.6.24.

patch c06a018f in mainline. This is not a new problem in 2.6.23-git17. 2.6.22/2.6.23 is buggy in the same way. Reiserfs could accumulate dirty sub-page-size files until umount time. They cannot be synced to disk by pdflush routines or explicit `sync' commands. Only `umount' can do the trick. The direct cause is: the dirty page's PG_dirty is wrongly _cleared_.

patch 348badf1 in mainline. When a DMA device is unregistered, its reference count is decremented twice for each channel: Once dma_class_dev_release() and once in dma_chan_cleanup().

patch 6fa02839 in mainline. As with 7fc90ec9... "call nfsd_setuser() on fh_compose()..." this is a case where we need to redo a security check in fh_verify() even though the filehandle already has an associated dentry--if the filehandle was created by fh_compose() in an earlier operation of the nfsv4 compound, then we may not have done these checks yet. Without this fix it is possible, for example, to traverse from an export without the secure ports requirement to one with it in a single compound, and bypass the secure port check on the new export. While we're here, fix up some minor style problems and change a printk() to a dprintk(), to make it harder for random unprivileged users to spam the logs. Signed-off-by:

Differs from mainline, but the functionality is already there. P5W-DH Deluxe has ICH7R which doesn't have PMP support but SIMG 4726 hardwired to the second port of AHCI controller at PCI device 1f.2. The 4726 doesn't work as PMP but as a storage processor which can do hardware RAID on downstream ports. When no device is attached to the downstream port of the 4726, pseudo ATA device for configuration appears. Unfortunately, ATA emulation on the device is very lousy and causes long hang during boot. This patch implements workaround for the board. If the mainboard is P5W-DH Deluxe (matched using DMI), only hardreset is used on the second port of AHCI controller @ 1f.2 and the hardreset doesn't depend on receiving the first FIS and just proceed to IDENTIFY. This workaround fixes bugzilla #8923. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8923Signed-off-by:
