David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be
probably used here.

Ingo Oeser suggested to use simple_read_from_buffer() here.

The conclusion is that proc_do_xprt doesn't check for userside buffer
size indeed so fix this by using Ingo's suggestion.

      nfsd: fix compound state allocation error handling · c228c24b

      Move the cstate_alloc call so that if it fails, the response is setup to
encode the NFS error. The out label now means that the
nfsd4_compound_state has not been allocated.

      block: restore original behavior of /proc/partition when there's no partition · ddef43a8
      Tejun Heo authored 
      /proc/partitions didn't use to write out the header if there was no
partition.  However, recent commit 66c64afe changed the behavior.
This is nothing major but there's no reason to change user visible
behavior without a good rationale.  Restore the original behavior.

Note that 2.6.28 has clean up changes scheduled which will replace
this rather hacky implementation.

      Fix problem with waiting while holding rcu read lock in md/bitmap.c · b2d2c4ce
      NeilBrown authored 
      A recent patch to protect the rdev list with rcu locking leaves us
with a problem because we can sleep on memalloc while holding the
rcu lock.

The rcu lock is only needed while walking the linked list as
uninteresting devices (failed or spares) can be removed at any time.

So only take the rcu lock while actually walking the linked list.
Take a refcount on the rdev during the time when we drop the lock
and do the memalloc to start IO.
When we return to the locked code, all the interesting devices
on the list will not have moved, so we can simply use
list_for_each_continue_rcu to pick up where we left off.

      Remove invalidate_partition call from do_md_stop. · 271f5a9b
      NeilBrown authored 
      When stopping an md array, or just switching to read-only, we
currently call invalidate_partition while holding the mddev lock.
The main reason for this is probably to ensure all dirty buffers
are flushed (invalidate_partition calls fsync_bdev).

However if any dirty buffers are found, it will almost certainly cause
a deadlock as starting writeout will require an update to the
superblock, and performing that updates requires taking the mddev
lock - which is already held.

This deadlock can be demonstrated by running "reboot -f -n" with
a root filesystem on md/raid, and some dirty buffers in memory.

All other calls to stop an array should already happen after a flush.
The normal sequence is to stop using the array (e.g. umount) which
will cause __blkdev_put to call sync_blockdev.  Then open the
array and issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl while the buffers are all still
clean.

So this invalidate_partition is normally a no-op, except for one case
where it will cause a deadlock.

So remove it.

This patch possibly addresses the regression recored in
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11460
and
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11452

though it isn't yet clear how it ever worked.

      Don't trigger softlockup detector on network fs blocked tasks · 316d9679
      Andi Kleen authored 
      Pulling the ethernet cable on a 2.6.27-rc system with NFS mounts
currently leads to an ongoing flood of soft lockup detector backtraces
for all tasks blocked on the NFS mounts when the hickup takes
longer than 120s.

I don't think NFS problems should be all that noisy.

Luckily there's a reasonably easy way to distingush this case.

Don't report task softlockup warnings for tasks in TASK_KILLABLE
state, which is used by the network file systems.

I believe this patch is a 2.6.27 candidate.

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit a2bd7274.

It wasn't really right to begin with (there's a better fix for the
problem with e820 reservations clashing with PCI BAR's pending), but it
also actually causes more regressions, so it should be reverted even
before the better fix is finalized.

Rafael reports that this commit broke AHCI detection, and thus causes
the kernel to not boot on his quad core test box.

      ALSA: oxygen: fix distorted output on AK4396-based cards · df91bc23
      Clemens Ladisch authored 
      When changing the sample rate, the CMI8788's master clock output becomes
unstable for a short time.  The AK4396 needs the master clock to do SPI
writes, so writing to an AK4396 control register directly after a sample
rate change will garble the value.  In our case, this leads to the DACs
being misconfigured to I2S sample format, which results in a wrong
output level and horrible distortions on samples louder than -6 dB.

To fix this, we need to wait until the new master clock signal has
become stable before doing SPI writes.

      remove blk_register_filter and blk_unregister_filter in gendisk · bb23b431
      FUJITA Tomonori authored 
      This patch remove blk_register_filter and blk_unregister_filter in
gendisk, and adds them to sd.c, sr.c. and ide-cd.c

The commit abf54393 moved cmdfilter
from gendisk to request_queue. It turned out that in some subsystems
multiple gendisks share a single request_queue. So we get:

Using physmap partition information

In the long term, we need to fix such subsystems but we need a quick
fix now. This patch add the command filter support to only sd and sr
though it might be useful for other SG_IO users (such as cciss).

      sparc: Fix resource flags for PCI children in OF device tree. · e3c71a32
      David S. Miller authored 
      When a device is under an EBUS or ISA bus, the resource flags
don't get set properly.

Fix this by re-evaluating the resource flags at each level of
bus as we apply ranges on the way to the root.  And let PCI
override any existing flags setting, but don't let the
default flags calculator make such overrides.
