      [PATCH] x86_64: GART DMA merging fix · 0d541064
      Andi Kleen authored 
      Don't touch the non DMA members in the sg list in dma_map_sg in the IOMMU

Some drivers (in particular ST) ran into problems because they reused the sg
lists after passing them to pci_map_sg().  The merging procedure in the K8
GART IOMMU corrupted the state.  This patch changes it to only touch the dma*
entries during merging, but not the other fields.  Approach suggested by Dave
Miller.

      [PATCH] arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c PTRACE_SINGLESTEP oops · a65d17c9
      John Blackwood authored 
      We found a problem with x86_64 kernels with preemption enabled, where
having multiple tasks doing ptrace singlesteps around the same time will
cause the system to 'oops'.  The problem seems that a task can get
preempted out of the do_debug() processing while it is running on the
DEBUG_STACK stack.  If another task on that same cpu then enters do_debug()
and uses the same per-cpu DEBUG_STACK stack, the previous preempted tasks's
stack contents can be corrupted, and the system will oops when the
preempted task is context switched back in again.

The typical oops looks like the following:

This patch disables preemptions for the task upon entry to do_debug(), before
interrupts are reenabled, and then disables preemption before exiting
do_debug(), after disabling interrupts.  I've noticed that the task can be
preempted either at the end of an interrupt, or on the call to
force_sig_info() on the spin_unlock_irqrestore() processing.  It might be
better to attempt to code a fix in entry.S around the code that calls
do_debug().

      [PATCH] reiserfs: disable automatic enabling of reiserfs inode attributes · 89edc3d2
      Jeff Mahoney authored 
      Unfortunately, the reiserfs_attrs_cleared bit in the superblock flag can
lie.  File systems have been observed with the bit set, yet still contain
garbage in the stat data field, causing unpredictable results.

This patch backs out the enable-by-default behavior.

It eliminates the changes from: d50a5cd860ce721dbeac6a4f3c6e42abcde68cd8,
and ef5e5414e7a83eb9b4295bbaba5464410b11e030.
