Akinobu Mita fab2caf62e [NETLINK]: Call panic if nl_table allocation fails
This patch makes crash happen if initialization of nl_table fails

Lv Liangying 76d0cc1b64 [IPV6]: SNMPv2 "ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors" counter error
When I tested Linux kernel 2.6.17.7 about statistics
"ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors", found that this counter couldn't increase
correctly. The criteria is RFC2465:
 ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX      Counter32
      MAX-ACCESS  read-only
      STATUS      current
      DESCRIPTION
         "The number of input datagrams discarded because
         the IPv6 address in their IPv6 header's destination
         field was not a valid address to be received at
         this entity.  This count includes invalid
         addresses (e.g., ::0) and unsupported addresses
         (e.g., addresses with unallocated prefixes).  For
         entities which are not IPv6 routers and therefore
         do not forward datagrams, this counter includes
         datagrams discarded because the destination address
         was not a local address."
      ::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 5 }

When I send packet to host with destination that is ether invalid
address(::0) or unsupported addresses(1::1), the Linux kernel just
discard the packet, and the counter doesn't increase(in the function
ip6_pkt_discard).

Lennert Buytenhek 260e98edc8 [ARM] 3761/1: fix armv4t breakage after adding thumb interworking to userspace helpers
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

On armv4t systems, we have always compiled the kernel with -march=armv4
instead of -march=armv4t, which means that any use of bx will bomb out.

Commit ba9b5d7637 introduced the use of
bx in the kernel, which means we need to compile with -march=armv4t on
armv4t systems now.

it limits the queue size for a tty to 64K characters (128Kbytes) worst case
even if the tty is ignoring tty->throttle.  This is because certain drivers

Paul Jackson 4c4d50f7b3 [PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to cpu_online_map
Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to
dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier.  Make
this top cpus file read-only.

On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.

If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use
of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed
in the top cpuset.  This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels
that didn't have cpusets enabled.

In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map.  Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed
by their cpuset.

Thanks to Anton Blanchard and Nathan Lynch for reporting this problem,
driving the fix, and earlier versions of this patch.

NeilBrown 8469219596 [PATCH] md: avoid backward event updates in md superblock when degraded.
If we
  - shut down a clean array,
  - restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing
  - make some changes
  - pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean',
the event count on the superblock of included drives
will be the same as that of the removed drives.
So adding the removed drive back in will cause it
to be included with no resync.

To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array
is not degraded.  In this case there can (should) be no non-connected
drives that we can get confused with, and this is the particular case
where updating-backwards is valuable.

Evgeniy Dushistov ecdc639487 [PATCH] ufs: truncate correction
1) When we allocated last fragment in ufs_truncate, we read page, check
   if block mapped to address, and if not trying to allocate it.  This is
   wrong behaviour, fragment may be NOT allocated, but mapped, this
   happened because of "block map" function not checked allocated fragment
   or not, it just take address of the first fragment in the block, add
   offset of fragment and return result, this is correct behaviour in
   almost all situation except call from ufs_truncate.

2) Almost all implementation of UFS, which I can investigate have such
   "defect": if you have full disk, and try truncate file, for example 3GB
   to 2MB, and have hole in this region, truncate return -ENOSPC.  I tried
   evade from this problem, but "block allocation" algorithm is tied to
   right value of i_lastfrag, and fix of this corner case may slow down of
   ordinaries scenarios, so this patch makes behavior of "truncate"
   operations similar to what other UFS implementations do.

Evgeniy Dushistov c37336b078 [PATCH] ufs: write to hole in big file
On UFS, this scenario:
	open(O_TRUNC)
	lseek(1024 * 1024 * 80)
	write("A")
	lseek(1024 * 2)
	write("A")

may cause access to invalid address.

This happened because of "goal" is calculated in wrong way in block
allocation path, as I see this problem exists also in 2.4.

We use construction like this i_data[lastfrag], i_data array of pointers to
direct blocks, indirect and so on, it has ceratain size ~20 elements, and
lastfrag may have value for example 40000.

Also this patch fixes related to handling such scenario issues, wrong
zeroing metadata, in case of block(not fragment) allocation, and wrong goal
calculation, when we allocate block

->exit_state check looks strange too.  Sub-threads or tasks whose ->parent
ignores SIGCHLD go directly to EXIT_DEAD state (I am ignoring a ptrace
case).  Why EXIT_DEAD tasks should be ok?  Yes, EXIT_ZOMBIE is more
important (a task may stay zombie for a long time), but this doesn't mean
we should explicitely ignore other EXIT_XXX states.

Samuel Thibault 533475d3d4 [PATCH] vcsa attribute bits -> ioctl(VT_GETHIFONTMASK)
When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is
loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character.
But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's
bit 3 or bit 0.  And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way
for userland to safely grab the screen content.  So here is a (tested)
patch:

Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC
text (vc_hi_font_mask field of the vc_data structure).

Paul A. Clarke b8cf368944 [PATCH] matroxfb: fix jittery display on non-ppc systems
I wish I was happier about this patch.  It'll serve as a placeholder for
the moment.  I'm still trying to get a G550 working in order to even
reproduce the problem this patch introduces.  I find that the G450 has
jitter even without this patch, so it won't show me what the patch changed.
 At this point, I'll continue trying to get the G550 to work, and in
parallel work with the G450 to work out the kinks.

The patch is below.

Set XDVICLKCTRL only on PPC, as doing this apparently introduces jitter on
the G550, at least on x86 architectures.

Dirk Eibach 01cfaf0d12 [PATCH] char/moxa.c: fix endianess and multiple-card issues
While testing Moxa C218T/PCI on PowerPC 405EP I found that loading firmware
using the linux kernel driver fails because calculation of the checksum is
not endianess independent in the original code.

After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with
multiple cards causes a kernel oops.  I had a look in the recent moxa
sources and found that they do some kind of locking there.  Applying this
lock fixed the problem.

Alan sayeth:

  Checksum changes are clearly correct.  Other changes is an improvement but
  not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks.  That said such an
  attacker has CAP_SYS_RAWIO anyway so that part is irrelevant except for
  neatness.

Dave Jones a0cc621f52 [PATCH] cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: Ignore failure from acpi_cpufreq_early_init_acpi
Ignore the return value of early_init_acpi(), as it can give false error
messages.  If there is something really wrong, then register_driver will
fail cleanly with EINVAL later.

[ background: modprobe acpi-cpufreq on systems not capable of speed-scaling
  started failing with 'invalid argument', where previously it would only
  ever -ENODEV

  I'm not 100% happy with the solution. It'd be better to handle
  failure properly, but this is a low-impact change for 2.6.18
  We can always revisit doing this better in .19   --davej.]

Oleg Nesterov f8986c241d [PATCH] revert "Drop tasklist lock in do_sched_setscheduler"
sched_setscheduler() looks at ->signal->rlim[].  It is unsafe do
dereference ->signal unless tasklist_lock or ->siglock is held (or p ==
current).  We pin the task structure, but this can't prevent from
release_task()->__exit_signal() which sets ->signal = NULL.

Restore tasklist_lock across the setscheduler call.

OK, I'm having a look here; its all new to me so bear with me.

blkdev_open() calls
  do_open(bdev, ...,BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) and takes
    mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_mutex, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL)

then something fails, and we're thrown to:

out_first: where
    if (bdev != bdev->bd_contains)
      blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains) which is
        __blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) which does
          mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_contains->bd_mutex, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) <--- lockdep trigger

When going to out_first, dbev->bd_contains is either bdev or whole, and
since we take the branch it must be whole. So it seems to me the
following patch would be the right one:

Recently a patch was added for preliminary suspend/resume handling on

because it saves the pci state after the device has already been disabled.

This moves the save state to before the pmac specific code.
