There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous scanning of SCSI devices and to prevent it from happening we need to call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation. In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before attempting to open the resume device.

When POSIX capabilities were introduced during the 2.1 Linux cycle, the fs mask, which represents the capabilities which having fsuid==0 is supposed to grant, did not include CAP_MKNOD and CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE. However, before capabilities the privilege to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0. This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask, restoring the old behavior. See the thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/157 for reference. Note that if this fix is deemed valid, then earlier kernel versions (2.4 and 2.2) ought to be fixed too.

Since the first argument to I2C_BOARD_INFO() must be a string constant, there is no need to parenthesise it, and adding parentheses results in an invalid initialiser for char[]. gcc obviously accepts this syntax as an extension, but sparse complains, e.g.: drivers/net/sfc/boards.c:173:2: warning: array initialized from parenthesized string constant Therefore, remove the parentheses.

Impact: broaden lockdep checks Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused on another things that require lockdep. The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.

Impact: provide useful missing info for developers Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings, load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc... But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint disables lockdep without ever warning about it. Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development. This patch adds this missing warning. Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main information. v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an open coded xchg().

pat_disable cannot be __cpuinit anymore because it's called from pat_init and the callchain looks like this: pat_disable [cpuinit] <- pat_init <- generic_set_all <- ipi_handler <- set_mtrr <- (other non init/cpuinit functions) WARNING: arch/x86/mm/built-in.o(.text+0x449e): Section mismatch in reference from the function pat_init() to the function .cpuinit.text:pat_disable() The function pat_init() references the function __cpuinit pat_disable(). This is often because pat_init lacks a __cpuinit annotation or the annotation of pat_disable is wrong. Non CONFIG_X86_PAT version of pat_disable is static inline, so this version can be static too (and there are no callers outside of this file).

Several drivers use asynchronous work to do device discovery, and we synchronize with them in the compiled-in case before we actually try to mount root filesystems etc. However, when compiled as modules, that synchronization is missing - the module loading completes, but the driver hasn't actually finished probing for devices, and that means that any user mode that expects to use the devices after the 'insmod' is now potentially broken. We already saw one case of a similar issue in the ACPI battery code, where the kernel itself expected the module to be all done, and unmapped the init memory - but the async device discovery was still running. That got hacked around by just removing the "__init" (see commit 5d38258e "ACPI battery: fix async boot oops"), but the real fix is to just make the module loading wait for all async work to be completed. It will slow down module loading, but since common devices should be built in anyway, and since the bug is really annoying and hard to handle from user space (and caused several S3 resume regressions), the simple fix to wait is the right one. This fixes at least http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13063 but probably a few other bugzilla entries too (12936, for example), and is confirmed to fix Rafael's storage driver breakage after resume bug report (no bugzilla entry). We should also be able to now revert that ACPI battery fix. Reported-and-tested-by: Rafael J.
