Nick and I had already been looking at drivers/scsi/{sg.c,st.c},
brought there by __put_page in sg.c's peculiar sg_rb_correct4mmap,
which we'd like to remove.  But that's irrelevant to your pain, except...

One extract from the patches I'd like to send Doug and Kai for 2.6.15
or 2.6.16 is this below: since the incomplete get_user_pages path omits
to reset res, but has already released all the pages, it will result in
premature freeing of user pages, and behaviour just like you've seen.

Though I'd have thought incomplete get_user_pages was an exceptional
case, and a bit surprised you'd encounter it.  Perhaps there's some
other premature freeing in the driver, and this instance has nothing
whatever to do with it.

If the problem were easily reproducible, it'd be great if you could
try this patch; but I think you've said it's not :-(

Some SCSI devices apparently get very confused if we try to use the
echo buffer on a non-DT negotiated bus (this mirrors the problems of
using PPR on non-LVD for some devices).  The fix is to be far more
conservative about when we use an echo buffer.  With this patch, we'll
now see what parameters are negotiated by the read only test, and only
look for an echo buffer if DT is negotiated.

To transport scsi reset command to device aic7xxx reset handler looks
at the driver's pending_list and searches any proper command. However
the search condition has been inverted: ahc_match_scb() returns TRUE
if a matched command is found. As a result the reset on required
devices did not turn out well, a correctly working neighbour device
may be surprised by the reset. aic7xxx reset handler reports about the
success, but really the original situation is not corrected yet.

 In cases where the server has gone insane, nfs_update_inode() may end
 up calling nfs_invalidate_inode(), which again calls stuff that takes
 the inode->i_lock that we're already holding.

 In addition, given the sort of things we have in NFS these days that
 need to be cleaned up on inode release, I'm not sure we should ever
 be calling make_bad_inode().

 Fix up spinlock recursion, and limit nfs_invalidate_inode() to clearing
 the caches, and marking the inode as being stale.

Blah.  The patch [0] I recently sent fixing errors with
in_hugepage_area() and prepare_hugepage_range() for powerpc itself has
an off-by-one bug.  Furthermore, the related functions
touches_hugepage_*_range() and within_hugepage_*_range() are also
buggy.  Some of the bugs, like those addressed in [0] originated with
commit 7d24f0b8 where we tweaked the
semantics of where hugepages are allowed.  Other bugs have been there
essentially forever, and are due to the undefined behaviour of '<<'
with shift counts greater than the type width (LOW_ESID_MASK could
return non-zero for high ranges with the right congruences).

The good news is that I now have a testsuite which should pick up
things like this if they creep in again.

A fix for a locking bug which is triggered when a client tries to lock with
flag DMA_QUIESCENT (typically the X server), but gets interrupted by a signal.
The locking IOCTL should then return an error, but if DMA_QUIESCENT succeeds
it returns 0, and the client falsely thinks it has the lock. In addition
The client waits for DMA_QUISCENT and possibly DMA_READY without having the lock.

This should fix a suspend/resume issues that appear with OHCI on some
PPC hardware.  The PCI layer should doesn't have the hooks needed for
such ASIC-specific hooks (in this case, software clock gating), so
this moves the code to do that into hcd-pci.c ... where it can be
done after the relevant PCI PM state transition (to/from D3).

Moving the PCI-specific parts of the EHCI driver into their own file
created a few issues ... notably on resume paths which (like swsusp)
require re-initializing the controller.  This patch:

 - Splits the EHCI startup code into run-once HCD setup code and
   separate "init the hardware" reinit code.  (That reinit code is
   a superset of the "early usb handoff" code.)

 - Then it makes the PCI init code run both, and the resume code only
   run the reinit code.

 - It also removes needless pci wrappers around EHCI start/stop methods.

 - Removes a byteswap issue that would be seen on big-endian hardware.

The HCD glue still doesn't actually provide a good way to do all this
run-one init stuff in one place though.

This cleans up the recent updates to EHCI PCI support:

  - Gets rid of checks for "is this a PCI device", they're no
    longer needed since this is now all PCI-only code.

  - Reduce log spamming:  MWI is only interesting in the atypical
    case that it can actually be used.

  - Whitespace cleanup, as appropriate for a new file with no
    other pending patches.

So other than that minor logging change, no functional updates.
