We don't need to pin ->key down; ->cfqq->cfqd will do that for us.
Incidentally, that stops the leak we had - that reference was never
dropped.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

If somebody does a hash lookup for cfq_queue while ioprio of an async queue
is elevated, they shouldn't end up stuck with lowered ioprio when we go back.
Fix is to use ->org_ioprio{,class} in hash lookups.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

VIDEO_CX88_ALSA should not be between VIDEO_CX88_DVB and
VIDEO_CX88_DVB_ALL_FRONTENDSWhen cx88-alsa was added to cx88/Kconfig, it was added in between
VIDEO_CX88_DVB and VIDEO_CX88_DVB_ALL_FRONTENDS. This caused
undesireable effects to the appearance of the menu options in
menuconfig.This fix reorders cx88-alsa and cx88-dvb in Kconfig, to match saa7134,
and restore the correct menuconfig appearance.Signed-off-by: Michael Krufky

sys_unshare() does mmput(new_mm). This is not enough if we have
mm->core_waiters.This patch is a temporary fix for soon to be released 2.6.16.

[ Checked with Uli: "I'm not planning to use unshare(CLONE_VM). It's
not needed for any functionality planned so far. What we (as in Red
Hat) need unshare() for now is the filesystem side." ]

Lee Revell reported 28ms latency when process with lots of swapped memory
exits.2.6.15 introduced a latency regression when unmapping: in accounting the
zap_work latency breaker, pte_none counted 1, pte_present PAGE_SIZE, but a
swap entry counted nothing at all. We think of pages present as the slow
case, but Lee's trace shows that free_swap_and_cache's radix tree lookup
can make a lot of work - and we could have been doing it many thousands of
times without a latency break.Move the zap_work update up to account swap entries like pages present.
This does account non-linear pte_file entries, and unmap_mapping_range
skipping over swap entries, by the same amount even though they're quick:
but neither of those cases deserves complicating the code (and they're
treated no worse than they were in 2.6.14).Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

Jiri Benc reported that modpost would stop with SIGABRT if
used with long filepaths.
The error looked like:

+0x0809f588 ***
> [...]Fix this by allocating at least the required memory + SZ bytes each time.

A user can use nfsservctl() to spam the logs.
This can happen because the arguments to the nfsservctl() system call are
versioned. This is a good thing. However, when a bad version is detected,
the kernel prints a message and then returns an error.Signed-off-by: Peter Staubach

The dm-stripe target currently does not enforce that the size of a stripe
device be a multiple of the chunk-size. Under certain conditions, this can
lead to I/O requests going off the end of an underlying device. This
test-case shows one example.echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 0" | dmsetup create linear0
echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 100" | dmsetup create linear1
echo "0 200 striped 2 32 /dev/mapper/linear0 0 /dev/mapper/linear1 0" | \
dmsetup create stripe0
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/stripe0 bs=1kThis will produce the output:
dd: writing '/dev/mapper/stripe0': Input/output error
97+0 records in
96+0 records outAnd in the kernel log will be:
attempt to access beyond end of device
dm-0: rw=0, want=104, limit=100The patch will check that the table size is a multiple of the stripe
chunk-size when the table is created, which will prevent the above striped
device from being created.This should not affect tools like LVM or EVMS, since in all the cases I can
think of, striped devices are always created with the sizes being a
multiple of the chunk-size.The size of a stripe device must be a multiple of its chunk-size.

Bryce reported a bug wherein offlining CPU0 (on x86 box) and then
subsequently onlining it resulted in a lockup.On x86, CPU0 is never offlined. The subsequent attempt to online CPU0
doesn't take that into account. It actually tries to bootup the already
booted CPU. Following patch fixes the problem (as acknowledged by Bryce).
Please consider for inclusion in 2.6.16.Check if cpu is already online.

The sighand pointer only needs the rcu_read_lock on the
read side. So only depending on task_lock protection
when setting this pointer is not enough. We also need
a memory barrier to ensure the initialization is seen first.Use rcu_assign_pointer as it does this for us, and clearly
documents that we are setting an rcu readable pointer.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

The dynamic add path for PCI Host Bridges can fail to configure children
adapters under P5IOC controllers. It fails to properly fixup bus/device
resources, and it fails to properly enable EEH. Both of these steps
need to occur before any children devices are enabled in

The recent changes to keep gettimeofday in sync with xtime had the side
effect that it was occasionally possible for the time reported by
gettimeofday to go back by a microsecond. There were two reasons:
(1) when we recalculated the offsets used by gettimeofday every 2^31
timebase ticks, we lost an accumulated fractional microsecond, and
(2) because the update is done some time after the notional start of
jiffy, if ntp is slowing the clock, it is possible to see time go backwards
when the timebase factor gets reduced.This fixes it by (a) slowing the gettimeofday clock by about 1us in
2^31 timebase ticks (a factor of less than 1 in 3.7 million), and (b)
adjusting the timebase offsets in the rare case that the gettimeofday
result could possibly go backwards (i.e. when ntp is slowing the clock
and the timer interrupt is late). In this case the adjustment will
reduce to zero eventually because of (a).Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras
