Tejun Heo fea63e3801 [PATCH] libata: fix non-uniform ports handling
Non-uniform ports handling got broken while updating libata to handle
those in the same host.  Only separate irq for the non-uniform
secondary port was implemented while all other fields (host flags,
transfer mode...) of the secondary port simply shared those of the
first.

For ata_piix combined mode, which ATM is the only user of non-uniform
ports, this causes the secondary port assume the wrong type.  This can
cause PATA port to use SATA ops, which results in bogus check on PCS
and detection failure.

This patch adds ata_probe_ent->pinfo2 which points to optional
port_info for the secondary port.  For the time being, this seems to
be the simplest solution.  This workaround will be removed together
with ata_probe_ent itself after init model is updated to allow more
flexibility.

Arnaud Patard cb60736b32 Fix libata resource conflict for legacy mode
When the libata is trying to handle legacy ide ports (0x1f0 for instance), it
doesn't take care if the resource has childs or not.
The result is that this situation :
0100-01fe : pnp 00:09
  0170-0177 : libata
  01f0-01f7 : libata

is seen as conflict, which is wrong.
The proposed fix is to detect childs and in this case, look at which child is
conflicting.

Linus Torvalds 47a5c6fa0e x86: save/restore eflags in context switch
(And reset it on new thread creation)

It turns out that eflags is important to save and restore not just
because of iopl, but due to the magic bits like the NT bit, which we
don't want leaking between different threads.

David S. Miller b9b64e6e89 [OPENPROMIO]: Handle current_node being NULL correctly.
If the user tries to traverse to the next node of the
last node, we get NULL in current_node and a zero phandle
returned.  That's fine, but if the user tries to obtain
properties in that state, we try to dereference a NULL
pointer in the downcall to the of_*() routines.

So protect against that.

This turns out to be a genuine bug.  The queue lock and xmit lock are
intentionally taken out of order.  Two things are supposed to prevent
dead-locks from occuring:

1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the
tx_lock.

2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing
anything else.

This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA
dead-locks.

I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock
to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up.  The lock appeared in day one and
even there it was unnecessary.  In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up
precisely in order to get around the tx lock there.

The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since
its only caller dev_activate is always called under it.

So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up.
In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and
replace it with dev_watchdog_up.

[PATCH 6/9] s390: qeth driver fixes [3/6]

From: Frank Pavlic <fpavlic@de.ibm.com>
       	fixed kernel panic caused by qeth driver:
        Using a bonding device qeth driver will realloc
        headroom for every skb coming from the bond device.
        Once this happens qeth frees the original skb and
        set the skb pointer to the new realloced skb.
        Under heavy transmit workload (e.g.UDP streams) through bond
        network device the qdio output queue might get full.
        In this case we return with EBUSY from qeth_send_packet.
        Returning to qeth_hard_start_xmit routine
        the skb address on the stack still points to the old address,
        which has been freed before.
        Returning from qeth_hard_start_xmit with EBUSY results in
        requeuing the skb. In this case it corrupts the qdisc queue
        and results in kernel panic.

Zoltan Sogor 27bea32755 [PATCH] JFFS2: SUMMARY: fix a summary collecting bug
In some special case (padding because of sync or umount) it can be possible
that summary information is not fit to the end of the erase block.  In
these cases the collecting of summary is disabled for this erase block.

The problem was that this was not respected by jffs2_sum_add_kvec().  This
patch fix this bug.

Vitaly Wool 96da96065b [PATCH] MTD NAND: OOB buffer offset fixups
In the case of data-pad-ecc-pad-data...  layout the oob start position has
to be sizeof(data) in nand_write_oob_syndrom().

In nand_fill_oob() we need to copy to buf + buffer offset instead of buf +
write offset.

Suparna Bhattacharya 20acaa18d0 [PATCH] ext3 sequential read regression fix
ext3-get-blocks support caused ~20% degrade in Sequential read
performance (tiobench). Problem is with marking the buffer boundary
so IO can be submitted right away. Here is the patch to fix it.

  2.6.18-rc6:
  -----------
  # ./iotest
  1048576+0 records in
  1048576+0 records out
  4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 75.2726 seconds, 57.1 MB/s

  real    1m15.285s
  user    0m0.276s
  sys     0m3.884s

  2.6.18-rc6 + fix:
  -----------------
  [root@elm3a241 ~]# ./iotest
  1048576+0 records in
  1048576+0 records out
  4294967296 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 62.9356 seconds, 68.2 MB/s

The boundary block check in ext3_get_blocks_handle needs to be adjusted
against the count of blocks mapped in this call, now that it can map
more than one block.

Kenneth Lee e4b69aa2a1 [PATCH] bug fix in kernel/kmod.c
I think there is a bug in kmod.c: In __call_usermodehelper(), when
kernel_thread(wait_for_helper, ...) return success, since wait_for_helper()
might call complete() at any time, the sub_info should not be used any
more.

Normally wait_for_helper() take a long time to finish, you may not get
problem for most of the case.  But if you remove /sbin/modprobe, it may
become easier for you to get a oop in khelper.

David Woodhouse 1ab7a1f3b4 [PATCH] headers_check: use a different default directory
`make headers_check' wants to go and write stuff in /lib/modules, which
requires root, whic is unfortunate.

In fact, there's no _particular_ reason for headers_install to put it there
either -- it can go into a subdirectory of the build tree in both cases.
It's not intended to go directly into /usr/include, which is why we didn't
put it there -- and we certainly don't want people screwing around with
symlinking to it.  It's for distributors to take away and do stuff with, so
leaving it in $(objtree) is fine, even in the headers_install case.

I picked $(objtree)/usr/include but I have no _particular_ preference
for that; it just seemed reasonable.

Chuck Ebbert ae81f9e379 [PATCH] Kconfig: move CONFIG_EMBEDDED options to submenu
Fix two problems with the CONFIG_EMBEDDED submenu:

(1) The menu was split in two by the rt_mutex patch, which moved
    half the items into the "General setup" menu.

(2) CONFIG_SYSCTL and CONFIG_UID16 were added to the main menu
    instead of the submenu.

David Woodhouse 7f9d77d758 [PATCH] Fix 'make headers_check' for Alpha
Alpha currently fails 'make headers_check' in the 2.6.18-rc kernels.  This
patch fixes it, by moving the existing #ifdef __KERNEL__ in asm/page.h so that
it covers everything that userspace shouldn't so, and by adding asm/compiler.h
to the list of exported files so that its use within asm/byteorder.h is
successful.

[ Note that at least with GCC 4, <linux/compiler.h> doesn't do the forced
  inlining about which there are nasty comments (and a workaround) in
  <asm/compiler.h>, unless you set CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING.  Rather than keep
  the mess you have in <asm/compiler.h> you could perhaps just make sure
  CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=n is also honoured with GCC3, and make sure it cannot
  be set for Alpha? ]
