aeb3f76350 [PATCH] DVB: lgdt330x frontend: some bug fixes & add lgdt3303 support
This patch removes the tda9887 stuff from lgdt330x.c.  It's experimental code
which wasn't supposed to leak out and we don't want it in 2.6.13.

dc9352a42c [PATCH] I2O: added pci_request_regions() before using the controller
Added pci_request_regions() before using the controller to avoid duplicate
usage of the I2O controller when the dpt_i2o driver and I2O subsystem is

d64d387372 [NET]: Fix memory leak in sys_{send,recv}msg() w/compat
From: Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@sw.starentnetworks.com>

sendmsg()/recvmsg() syscalls from o32/n32 apps to a 64bit kernel will
cause a kernel memory leak if iov_len > UIO_FASTIOV for each syscall!

This is because both sys_sendmsg() and verify_compat_iovec() kmalloc a
new iovec structure.  Only the one from sys_sendmsg() is free'ed.

I wrote a simple test program to confirm this after identifying the
problem:

http://davej.org/programs/testsendmsg.c

Note that the below fix will break solaris_sendmsg()/solaris_recvmsg() as
it also calls verify_compat_iovec() but expects it to malloc internally.

[ I fixed that. -DaveM ]

db29e85a7e [PATCH] i2o: remove new configuration API
Remove new configuration API from i2o_config

The API-patch is still available from the I2O website (which is mentioned in
the kernel config now).  It is removed because it creates a new binary
sysfs-attribute, which doesn't have the limitiation of 4k.  Expect for the
Adaptec controllers, which has a limitation in the hardware this attribute
doesn't make sense anywhere else.  Until the sysfs API provides an attribute
which doesn't buffer (like firmware) and let access to at least 64k blocks i
provide a separate patch...

(akpm: basically, this API was introduced post-2.6.12 and Markus wants to pull
it out before 2.6.13).

3077a260e9 [PATCH] cpuset release ABBA deadlock fix
Fix possible cpuset_sem ABBA deadlock if 'notify_on_release' set.

For a particular usage pattern, creating and destroying cpusets fairly
frequently using notify_on_release, on a very large system, this deadlock
can be seen every few days.  If you are not using the cpuset
notify_on_release feature, you will never see this deadlock.

The existing code, on task exit (or cpuset deletion) did:

  get cpuset_sem
  if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release:
    compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point
    call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path
  drop cpuset_sem

Unfortunately, the fork in call_usermodehelper can allocate memory, and
allocating memory can require cpuset_sem, if the mems_generation values
changed in the interim.  This results in an ABBA deadlock, trying to obtain
cpuset_sem when it is already held by the current task.

To fix this, I put the cpuset path (which must be computed while holding
cpuset_sem) in a temporary buffer, to be used in the call_usermodehelper
call of /sbin/cpuset_release_agent only _after_ dropping cpuset_sem.

So the new logic is:

  get cpuset_sem
  if cpuset marked notify_on_release and is ready to release:
    compute cpuset path relative to /dev/cpuset mount point
    stash path in kmalloc'd buffer
  drop cpuset_sem
  call_usermodehelper() forks /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with path
  free path

The sharp eyed reader might notice that this patch does not contain any
calls to kmalloc.  The existing code in the check_for_release() routine was
already kmalloc'ing a buffer to hold the cpuset path.  In the old code, it
just held the buffer for a few lines, over the cpuset_release_agent() call
that in turn invoked call_usermodehelper().  In the new code, with the
application of this patch, it returns that buffer via the new char
**ppathbuf parameter, for later use and freeing in cpuset_release_agent(),
which is called after cpuset_sem is dropped.  Whereas the old code has just
one call to cpuset_release_agent(), right in the check_for_release()
routine, the new code has three calls to cpuset_release_agent(), from the
various places that a cpuset can be released.

This patch has been build and booted on SN2, and passed a stress test that
previously hit the deadlock within a few seconds.

7a91bf7f5c [PATCH] fsnotify_name/inoderemove
The patch below unhooks fsnotify from vfs_unlink & vfs_rmdir.  It
introduces two new fsnotify calls, that are hooked in at the dcache
level.  This not only more closely matches how the VFS layer works, it
also avoids the problem with locking and inode lifetimes.

The two functions are

 - fsnotify_nameremove -- called when a directory entry is going away.
   It notifies the PARENT of the deletion.  This is called from
   d_delete().

 - inoderemove -- called when the files inode itself is going away.  It
   notifies the inode that is being deleted.  This is called from
   dentry_iput().

8b83bc77bf [PATCH] don't try to do any NAT on untracked connections
With the introduction of 'rustynat' in 2.6.11, the old tricks of preventing
NAT of 'untracked' connections (e.g. NOTRACK target in 'raw' table) are no
longer sufficient.

The ip_conntrack_untracked.status |= IPS_NAT_DONE_MASK effectively
prevents iteration of the 'nat' table, but doesn't prevent nat_packet()
to be executed.  Since nr_manips is gone in 'rustynat', nat_packet() now
implicitly thinks that it has to do NAT on the packet.

This patch fixes that problem by explicitly checking for
ip_conntrack_untracked in ip_nat_fn().

db6778db7e [PATCH] nvidiafb: Fix initial display corruption on certain laptops
Reported by:Vincent Fortier (Bugzilla Bug 4768)

"At boot time the screen appears moved to the mid right portion of the actual
video pannel making the end of the line appears at the left edge...  It simply
looks like moved half way to the right"

His particular hardware has a display with an unusual dimension (1920x1200) but
unfortunately has no EDID block. None of the entries in the global mode
database is correct for this particular display, and it particularly has
difficulty scaling up 640x480 (the default startup mode of nvidiafb) to
1920x1200 which causes the above described problem.

1, Add 1920x1200 to the global mode database.

2. Let nvidiafb base the startup mode from the flatpanel dimensions only if the
  EDID block is absent, no boot mode parameter is specified by the user, and
  a flatpanel/LCD display is attached.

68b47139ea [PATCH] namespace.c: fix bind mount from foreign namespace
I'm resending this patch, because I still believe it's the correct fix.

Tested before/after applying the patch with a test application
available from:

  http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/nstest.c

Bind mount from a foreign namespace results in an un-removable mount.
The reason is that mnt->mnt_namespace is copied from the old mount in
clone_mnt().  Because of this check_mnt() in sys_umount() will fail.

The solution is to set mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namespace in
clone_mnt().  clone_mnt() is either called from do_loopback() or
copy_tree().  copy_tree() is called from do_loopback() or
copy_namespace().

When called (directly or indirectly) from do_loopback(), always
current->namspace is being modified: check_mnt(nd->mnt).  So setting
mnt->mnt_namespace to current->namspace is the right thing to do.

When called from copy_namespace(), the setting of mnt_namespace is
irrelevant, since mnt_namespace is reset later in that function for
all copied mounts.

Jamie said:

  This patch is correct.  The old code was buggy for more fundamental and
  serious reason: it broke the invariant that a tree of vfsmnts all have the
  same value of mnt_namespace (and the same for the mnt_list list).

9ae5b3c703 [PATCH] remove linux/pagemap.h from linux/swap.h
sparc can not include linux/pagemap.h because of the following circular
dependency:

asm-sparc/pgtable include linux/swap.h
linux/swap.h include now linux/pagemap.h
linux/pagemap.h include linux/mm.h
linux/mm.h include asm/pgtable.h

It needs to have the swp_entry_t type fully visible in pgtable.h,
we can't work around this using macros.
