Fix an off-by-two memory error in console selection. The loop below goes from sel_start to sel_end (inclusive), so it writes one more character. This one more character was added to the allocated size (+1), but it was not multiplied by an UTF-8 multiplier. This patch fixes a memory corruption when UTF-8 console is used and the user selects a few characters, all of them 3-byte in UTF-8 (for example a frame line). When memory redzones are enabled, a redzone corruption is reported. When they are not enabled, trashing of random memory occurs.

The mmap_region() code would temporarily set the VM_ACCOUNT flag for anonymous shared mappings just to inform shmem_zero_setup() that it should enable accounting for the resulting shm object. It would then clear the flag after calling ->mmap (for the /dev/zero case) or doing shmem_zero_setup() (for the MAP_ANON case). This just resulted in vma merge issues, but also made for just unnecessary confusion. Use the already-existing VM_NORESERVE flag for this instead, and let shmem_{zero|file}_setup() just figure it out from that. This also happens to make it obvious that the new DRI2 GEM layer uses a non-reserving backing store for its object allocation - which is quite possibly not intentional. But since I didn't want to change semantics in this patch, I left it alone, and just updated the caller to use the new flag semantics. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

When using sgmii the link was not being properly passed up to the driver from the underlying link management functions.

A panic has been observed with frame sizes smaller than 1K. This has been root caused to the hardware spanning larger frames across multiple buffers and then reporting the original frame size in the first descriptor. To prevent this we can enable set the LPE bit which in turn will restrict packet sizes to those set in the RLPML register.

As the mmap handler gets called under mmap_sem, and we may grab mmap_sem elsewhere under the socket lock to access user data, we should avoid grabbing the socket lock in the mmap handler. Since the only thing we care about in the mmap handler is for pg_vec* to be invariant, i.e., to exclude packet_set_ring, we can achieve this by simply using a new mutex.

Currently we use a spin-lock to serialise statistics fetches and also to inhibit them for short periods of time, plus a flag to enable/disable statistics fetches for longer periods of time, during online reset.

All 10Xpress PHYs require autonegotiation all the time; enforce this in the set_settings() method and do not treat it as a workaround. Remove claimed support for 100M HD mode since it is not supported by current firmware. Do not set speed override bits when AN is enabled, and do not use register 1.49192 for AN configuration as it can override what we set elsewhere. Always set the AN selector bits to 1 (802.3).

Early versions of the SFX7101 firmware could complete link training in a state where it would not adequately cancel noise (Solarflare bug 10750). We previously worked around this by resetting the PHY after seeing many Ethernet CRC errors. This workaround is unsafe since it takes no account of the interval between errors; it also appears to be unnecessary with production firmware. Therefore remove it.

Commit de33c8db ("Fix OOPS in mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segments") unified the vma merging of anonymous and file maps to just one place, which simplified the code and fixed a use-after-free bug that could cause an oops. But by doing the merge opportunistically before even having called ->mmap() on the file method, it now compares two different 'vm_flags' values: the pre-mmap() value of the new not-yet-formed vma, and previous mappings of the same file around it. And in doing so, it refused to merge the common file case, which adds a marker to say "I can be made non-linear". This fixes it by just adding a set of flags that don't have to match, because we know they are ok to merge. Currently it's only that single VM_CAN_NONLINEAR flag, but at least conceptually there could be others in the future.

This patch adds the ability to pre-empt an ongoing BE timeslice when a RT request is waiting for the current timeslice to complete. This reduces the wait time to disk for RT requests from an upper bound of 4 (current value of cfq_quantum) to 1 disk request. Applied Jens' suggeested changes to avoid the rb lookup and use !cfq_class_rt() and retested.

bsg.h in current form is perfectly suitable for user-mode consumption. It is needed together with scsi/sg.h for applications that want to interface with the bsg driver. Currently the few projects that use it would copy it over into the projects. But that is not acceptable for projects that need to provide source and devel packages for distros. This should also be submitted to stable 2.6.28 and 2.6.27 since bsg had a stable API since these Kernels and distro users will need the header for these kernels a swell Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Acked-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

The code to support journal-less ext4 operation added a BUG to ext4_bmap() which fired if there was no journal and the EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit was set in the i_state field. This caused running the filefrag program (which uses the FIMBAP ioctl) to trigger a BUG(). The EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit is only used for ext4_bmap(), and it's harmless for the bit to be set. We could add a check in __ext4_journalled_writepage() and ext4_journalled_write_end() to only set the EXT4_STATE_JDATA bit if the journal is present, but that adds an extra test and jump instruction. It's easier to simply remove the BUG check. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12568Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org
