The SPI core now expects num_chipselect to be set correctly as due to added checks on the chip being selected before an transfer is allowed. This patch adds a num_cs field to the platform data which needs to be set correctly before adding the SPI platform device. Signed-off-by:

The s3c24xx_spi_txrx() function should initialise the completion each time before using it, otherwise we end up with the possibility of returning success before the interrupt handler has processed all the data. Signed-off-by:

mb_cache_entry_alloc() was allocating cache entries with GFP_KERNEL. But filesystems are calling this function while holding xattr_sem so possible recursion into the fs violates locking ordering of xattr_sem and transaction start / i_mutex for ext2-4. Change mb_cache_entry_alloc() so that filesystems can specify desired gfp mask and use GFP_NOFS from all of them. Signed-off-by:

As shown by Gurudas Pai recently, we can put hugepages into the surplus state (by echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages), even when /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages is 0. This is actually correct, to allow the original goal (shrink the static pool to 0) to succeed (we are converting hugepages to surplus because they are in use). However, the documentation does not accurately reflect this case. Update it. Signed-off-by:

Since 43cc71ee, the platform modalias is prefixed with "platform:". Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable serial platform drivers, to re-enable auto loading. NOTE that Kconfig for some of these drivers doesn't allow modular builds, and thus doesn't match the driver source's unload support. Presumably their unload code is buggy and/or weakly tested...

Fix memory corruption and crash on 32-bit x86 systems. If a !PAE x86 kernel is booted on a 32-bit system with more than 4GB of RAM, then we call memory_present() with a start/end that goes outside the scope of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. That causes this loop to happily walk over the limit of the sparse memory section map: for (pfn = start; pfn < end; pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION) { unsigned long section = pfn_to_section_nr(pfn); struct mem_section *ms; sparse_index_init(section, nid); set_section_nid(section, nid); ms = __nr_to_section(section); if (!ms->section_mem_map) ms->section_mem_map = sparse_encode_early_nid(nid) | SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT; 'ms' will be out of bounds and we'll corrupt a small amount of memory by encoding the node ID and writing SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (==0x1) over it. The corruption might happen when encoding a non-zero node ID, or due to the SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT which is 0x1: mmzone.h:#define SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (1UL<<0) The fix is to sanity check anything the architecture passes to sparsemem. This bug seems to be rather old (as old as sparsemem support itself), but the exact incarnation depended on random details like configs, which made this bug more prominent in v2.6.25-to-be. An additional enhancement might be to print a warning about ignored or trimmed memory ranges. Signed-off-by:Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Tested-by:

When I cleaned up printk() and split up the printk locking logic in commit 266c2e0a ("Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensible") I had incorrectly moved the call to have_callable_console() outside of the console semaphore. That was buggy. The console semaphore protects the console_drivers list that is used by have_callable_console(). Thanks go to Bongani Hlope who saw this as a hang on shutdown and reboot and bisected the bug to the right commit, and tested this patch. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/11/315Bisected-and-tested-by:

This fixes a regression introduced in commit 205c109a when switching to write_begin/write_end operations in JFFS2. The page offset is miscalculated, leading to corruption of the fragment lists and subsequently to memory corruption and panics. [ Side note: the bug is a fairly direct result of the naming. Nick was likely misled by the use of "offs", since we tend to use the notion of "offset" not as an absolute position, but as an offset _within_ a page or allocation. Alternatively, a "pgoff_t" is a page index, but not a byte offset - our VM naming can be a bit confusing. So in this case, a VM person would likely have called this a "pos", not an "offs", or perhaps talked about byte offsets rather than page offsets (since it's counted in bytes, not pages). - Linus ] Signed-off-by:

Miklos Szeredi found the bug: "Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns NLM_LCK_DENIED. "On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()), which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever." So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file, could result in an infinite loop. And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I: 7723ec97 "locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from setlock code" That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it returned -EAGAIN. We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN. However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method. Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

Correctly determine the address of an illegal instruction. The EPCR0 register holds this value (masked by EPCR0_PC) if the validity bit is set (masked by EPCR0_V). So the test as to whether the contents of the register are usable should be involve checking the _V bit, not the _PC bits. Signed-off-by:

revert "sched: fix fair sleepers" (e22ecef1), because it is causing audio skipping, see: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10428 the patch is correct and the real cause of the skipping is not understood (tracing makes it go away), but time has run out so we'll revert it and re-try in 2.6.26.

The bridge netfilter code attaches a fake dst_entry with a pointer to a fake net_device structure to skbs it passes up to IPv4 netfilter. This leads to crashes when the skb is passed to __ip_route_output_key when dereferencing the namespace pointer. Since bridging can currently only operate in the init_net namespace, the easiest fix for now is to initialize the nd_net pointer of the fake net_device struct to &init_net.

Consider we are putting a clusterip_config entry with the "entries" count == 1, and on the other CPU there's a clusterip_config_find_get in progress: CPU1: CPU2: clusterip_config_entry_put: clusterip_config_find_get: if (atomic_dec_and_test(&c->entries)) { /* true */ read_lock_bh(&clusterip_lock); c = __clusterip_config_find(clusterip); /* found - it's still in list */ ... atomic_inc(&c->entries); read_unlock_bh(&clusterip_lock); write_lock_bh(&clusterip_lock); list_del(&c->list); write_unlock_bh(&clusterip_lock); ... dev_put(c->dev); Oops! We have an entry returned by the clusterip_config_find_get, which is a) not in list b) has a stale dev pointer. The problems will happen when the CPU2 will release the entry - it will remove it from the list for the 2nd time, thus spoiling it, and will put a stale dev pointer. The fix is to make atomic_dec_and_test under the clusterip_lock. Signed-off-by:Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by:

As far as I can remember, I was going to disable privacy extensions on all "tunnel" interfaces. Disable it on ip6-ip6 interface as well. Also, just remove ifdefs for SIT for simplicity. Signed-off-by:

struct ipv6_opt_hdr is the common structure for IPv6 extension headers, and it is common to increment the pointer to get the real content. On the other hand, since the structure consists only of 1-byte next-header field and 1-byte length field, size of that structure depends on architecture; 2 or 4. Add "packed" attribute to get 2.

Fixes kernel bugzilla 10437 Based almost entirely upon a patch by Dmitry Butskoy. When deciding what raw sockets to deliver the ICMPv6 to, we should use the addresses in the ICMPv6 quoted IPV6 header, not the top-level one. Signed-off-by: -

Shouldn't it make at least some noise? I guess it should return -EADDRNOTAVAIL similar to eth_mac_addr() when validation fails. Signed-off-by:
