[ Upstream commit f48ed538 ] There is a possible race in md_probe. If two threads call md_probe for the same device, then one could exit (having checked that ->gendisk exists) before the other has called kobject_init_and_add, thus returning an incomplete kobj which will cause problems when we try to add children to it. So extend the range of protection of disks_mutex slightly to avoid this possibility. Signed-off-by:

commit 3f27e3ed upstream [SCSI] bsg: fix bsg_mutex hang with device removal We don't need to hold bsg_mutex during bsg_complete_all_commands(). It leads to a problem that we block bsg_unregister_queue during bsg_complete_all_commands (untill all the outstanding commands complete). Thanks to Pete Wyckoff for finding the bug and testing the patch. The detailed bug report is: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=121182137132145&w=2Tested-by:

netfilter: nf_nat_sip: c= is optional for session Upstream commit c71529e4: According to RFC2327, the connection information is optional in the session description since it can be specified in the media description instead. My provider does exactly that and does not provide any connection information in the session description. As a result the new kernel drops all invite responses. This patch makes it optional as documented. Signed-off-by:

commit 0056e65f upstream We zero-fill them like we are supposed to, and that's all fine. It's only an error if the 'romfs_copyfrom()' routine isn't able to fill the data that is supposed to be there. Most of the patch is really just re-organizing the code a bit, and using separate variables for the error value and for how much of the page we actually filled from the filesystem.

commit 94ad374a upstream The iov_iter_advance() function would look at the iov->iov_len entry even though it might have iterated over the whole array, and iov was pointing past the end. This would cause DEBUG_PAGEALLOC to trigger a kernel page fault if the allocation was at the end of a page, and the next page was unallocated. The quick fix is to just change the order of the tests: check that there is any iovec data left before we check the iov entry itself. Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan for finding this case, and testing the fix. Reported-and-tested-by:

commit 5def9a3a upstream Paul pointed out two incorrect read barriers in the marker handler code in the path where multiple probes are connected. Those are ordering reads of "ptype" (single or multi probe marker), "multi" array pointer, and "multi" array data access. It should be ordered like this : read ptype smp_rmb() read multi array pointer smp_read_barrier_depends() access data referenced by multi array pointer The code with a single probe connected (optimized case, does not have to allocate an array) has correct memory ordering. It applies to kernel 2.6.26.x, 2.6.25.x and linux-next. Signed-off-by:

commit 14fcc23f upstream SuSE's insserve initscript ordering program hits kernel BUG at mm/shmem.c:814 on 2.6.26. It's using posix_fadvise on directories, and the shmem_readpage method added in 2.6.23 is letting POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED allocate useless pages to a tmpfs directory, incrementing i_blocks count but never decrementing it. Fix this by assigning shmem_aops (pointing to readpage and writepage and set_page_dirty) only when it's needed, on a regular file or a long symlink. Many thanks to Kel for outstanding bugreport and steps to reproduce it. Reported-by:

commit 9a7867e1 upstream The block transfer routine in the mpc52xx psc spi driver misinterpret the datasheet. According to the processor datasheet the chipselect is held as long as the EOF is not written. Theoretically blocks of any sizes can be transferred in this way. The old routine however writes an EOF after every word, which has the size of size_of_word. This makes the transfer slow. Also fixed some duplicate code. Signed-off-by:

commit 7c1fed03 upstream My copying of linux/init.h didn't go far enough. The definition of __used singled out gcc minor version 3, but didn't care what the major version was. This broke when unit-at-a-time was added and gcc started throwing out initcalls. This results in an early boot crash when ptrace tries to initialize a process with an empty, uninitialized register set. Signed-off-by:

commit 7fcba054 upstream Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 15:46:39 -0700 Subject: eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memory With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption when testing eCryptfs. The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice page-aligned chunk of memory. But at least with SLUB debugging on, this is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc. My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2 different multi-megabyte files. With this change I no longer see the corruption. Signed-off-by:

V4L: saa7134: Copy tuner data earlier to avoid overwriting manual tuner type (cherry picked from commit d53687d1) Copy tuner data earlier in init to avoid overwriting manual tuner type When saa7134_board_init2 runs, it immediately overwrites the current value (set earlier from module parameter) of tuner_type with the static values, and then does autodetection. This patch moves the tuner_addr copy to earlier in saa7134_initdev and removes the tuner_type copy from saa7134_board_init2. Autodetection could still potentially change to the wrong tuner type, but it is now possible to override the default type for the card again. My card's tuner is configured with autodetection from eeprom, so I don't need to manually set the tuner. I've checked that the autodetection still works for my card. Signed-off-by:

part of commit 0dcffac1 upstream (the upstream multislice patch contains this fix within a large rework of the code since there is one rx_done ring per slice. The old allocating is replaced by a call to myri10ge_probe_slices()) Allocating the rx_done ring requires mgp->max_intr_slots to be valid, which requires that we already loaded the firmware we are going to use with this ring. So move the allocating after myri10ge_load_firmware() (but keep it before myri10ge_reset() which already needs the rx_done ring). If fixedsa regression where loading the driver would not appear to do anything.

part of commit 0dcffac1 upstream (the upstream multislice patch contains the same fix within myri10ge_alloc_slices() which does this for every slice) Even if we don't have multiple slices in myri10ge in 2.6.26, we already use some multislice-aware routines that need the slice state pointers to mgp and dev to be valid. This patch fixes a regression where configuring the interface up would oops in myri10ge_allocate_rings() when using ss->mgp (and later when using ss->dev).

[ Upstream commit b7c2a757 ] We're calling request_irq() with a IRQs disabled. No straightforward fix exists because we want to enable these IRQs and setup state atomically before getting into the IRQ handler the first time. What happens now is that we mark the VIRQ to not be automatically enabled by request_irq(). Then we make explicit enable_irq() calls when we grab the LDC channel. This way we don't need to call request_irq() illegally under the LDC channel lock any more. Bump LDC version and release date. Signed-off-by:
