      V4L/DVB (6052): ivtv: fix udma yuv bug · cb50f548
      Ian Armstrong authored 
      Using udma yuv causes the driver becomes locked into that mode. This prevents
use of the mpeg decoder & non-udma yuv output. This patch clears the
operating mode when the device is closed.

      fix console change race exposed by CFS · a64314e6
      Jan Lübbe authored 
      The new behaviour of CFS exposes a race which occurs if a switch is
requested when vt_mode.mode is VT_PROCESS.

The process with vc->vt_pid is signaled before vc->vt_newvt is set.
This causes the switch to fail when triggered by the monitoing process
because the target is still -1.

[ If the signal sending fails, the subsequent "reset_vc(vc)" will then
  reset vt_newvt to -1, so this works for that case too.   - Linus ]

      i386: remove bogus comment about memory barrier · 4827bbb0
      Nick Piggin authored 
      The comment being removed by this patch is incorrect and misleading.

In the following situation:

	1. load  ...
	2. store 1 -> X
	3. wmb
	4. rmb
	5. load  a <- Y
	6. store ...

4 will only ensure ordering of 1 with 5.
3 will only ensure ordering of 2 with 6.

Further, a CPU with strictly in-order stores will still only provide that
2 and 6 are ordered (effectively, it is the same as a weakly ordered CPU
with wmb after every store).

In all cases, 5 may still be executed before 2 is visible to other CPUs!

The additional piece of the puzzle that mb() provides is the store/load
ordering, which fundamentally cannot be achieved with any combination of
rmb()s and wmb()s.

This can be an unexpected result if one expected any sort of global ordering
guarantee to barriers (eg. that the barriers themselves are sequentially
consistent with other types of barriers).  However sfence or lfence barriers
need only provide an ordering partial ordering of memory operations -- Consider
that wmb may be implemented as nothing more than inserting a special barrier
entry in the store queue, or, in the case of x86, it can be a noop as the store
queue is in order. And an rmb may be implemented as a directive to prevent
subsequent loads only so long as their are no previous outstanding loads (while
there could be stores still in store queues).

I can actually see the occasional load/store being reordered around lfence on
my core2. That doesn't prove my above assertions, but it does show the comment
is wrong (unless my program is -- can send it out by request).

So:
   mb() and smp_mb() always have and always will require a full mfence
   or lock prefixed instruction on x86.  And we should remove this comment.

      Dale Farnsworth authored 
      Commit 468d09f8 masked the "state"
interrupt (bit 20 of the cause register). This results in Radstone's
PPC7D repeatedly re-entering the interrupt routine, locking up the
board. The following patch returns the required handling for this
interrupt.
