      Alright, this one is only triggered when slab debugging is enabled.  The
      slabs are assumed to be aligned on a HUGEPTE_TABLE_SIZE boundary.  The free
      path makes use of this assumption and uses the lowest nibble to pass around
      an index into an array of kmem_cache pointers.  With slab debugging turned
      on, the slab is still aligned, but the "working" object pointer is not.
      This would break the assumption above that a full nibble is available for
      the PGF_CACHENUM_MASK.
      
      The following patch reduces PGF_CACHENUM_MASK to cover only the two least
      significant bits, which is enough to cover the current number of 4 pgtable
      cache types.  Then use this constant to mask out the appropriate part of
      the huge pte pointer.

      [POWERPC] Fix might-sleep warning on removing cpus · 81b73dd9

      Noticing the following might_sleep warning (dump_stack()) during kdump

      To fix this issue, rtas_set_indicator_fast() is added so that will not
      wait for RTAS 'busy' delay and this new function is used for kdump (in
      xics_teardown_cpu()) and for CPU hotplug ( xics_migrate_irqs_away() and
      xics_setup_cpu()).
      
      Note that the platform architecture spec says that set-indicator
      on the indicator we're using here is not permitted to return the
      busy or extended busy status codes.

      [POWERPC] fix PMU initialization on pseries lpar · dcc42f48
      Sonny Rao authored
      We should not be calling power4_enable_pmcs() in
      pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs(); just doing the hypercall is sufficient.
      Prior to 2.6.15 we did not call power4_enable_pmcs() for an lpar.
      
      power4_enable_pmcs() tries to read the hid0 register which is no
      longer legal for an lpar in newer Power processors.

      [PATCH] SCX200_ACB: eliminate spurious timeout errors · 3e3183ba
      David Woodhouse authored
      While busy-waiting for completion, check the hardware after scheduling;
      don't schedule and then immediately check the _timeout_.  If the yield()
      took a long time (as it does on my OLPC prototype board when it's busy),
      we'd report a timeout even though the hardware was now ready.
      
      This fixes it, and also switches the yield() for a cond_resched() because
      we don't actually want to be _that_ nice about it.  I see nice
      tightly-packed SMBus transactions now, rather than waiting for milliseconds
      between successive phases.
      
      Actually, we shouldn't be busy-waiting here at all.  We should be using
      interrupts.  That's an exercise for another day though.

      [PATCH] udf: initialize parts of inode earlier in create · 225add61
      Eric Sandeen authored
      I saw an oops down this path when trying to create a new file on a UDF
      filesystem which was internally marked as readonly, but mounted rw:
      
      udf_create
              udf_new_inode
                      new_inode
                              alloc_inode
                              	udf_alloc_inode
                      udf_new_block
                              returns EIO due to readonlyness
                      iput (on error)
                              udf_put_inode
                                      udf_discard_prealloc
                                              udf_next_aext
                                                      udf_current_aext
                                                              udf_get_fileshortad
                                                                      OOPS
      
      the udf_discard_prealloc() path was examining uninitialized fields of the
      udf inode.
      
      udf_discard_prealloc() already has this code to short-circuit the discard
      path if no extents are preallocated:
      
              if (UDF_I_ALLOCTYPE(inode) == ICBTAG_FLAG_AD_IN_ICB ||
                      inode->i_size == UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode))
              {
                      return;
              }
      
      so if we initialize UDF_I_LENEXTENTS(inode) = 0 earlier in udf_new_inode,
      we won't try to free the (not) preallocated blocks, since this will match
      the i_size = 0 set when the inode was initialized.

      [PATCH] pnpacpi: reject ACPI_PRODUCER resources · 2b8de5f5
      matthieu castet authored
      A patch in -mm kernel correct the parsing of "address resources" of pnpacpi.
      Before we assumed it was memory only, but it could be also IO.
      
      But this change show an hidden bug : some resources could be producer type
      that are not handled by pnp layer.  So we should ignore the producer
      resources.
      
      This patch fixes bug 6292 (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6292).
      Some devices like PNP0A03 have 0xd00-0xffff and 0x0-0xcf7 as IO producer
      resources.
      
      Before correcting "address resources" parsing, it was seen as memory and was
      harmless, because nobody tried to reserve this memory range as it should be
      IO.
      
      With the correction it become IO resources, and make failed all others device
      that want to register IO in this range and use pnp layer (like a ISA sound
      card).
      
      The solution is to ignore producer resources

      [PATCH] reiserfs_write_full_page() should not get_block past eof · b4c76fa7
      Chris Mason authored
      reiserfs_write_full_page does zero bytes in the file past eof, but it may
      call get_block on those buffers as well.  On machines where the page size
      is larger than the blocksize, this can result in mmaped files incorrectly
      growing up to a block boundary during writepage.
      
      The fix is to avoid calling get_block for any blocks that are entirely past
      eof
