David Woodhouse cb4db4c221 [NET]: Don't export linux/random.h outside __KERNEL__.
Don't add it there please; add it lower down inside the existing #ifdef
__KERNEL__. You just made the _userspace_ net.h include random.h, which
then fails to compile unless <asm/types.h> was already included.

David S. Miller e44c39bd84 [NET]: Add memory barrrier to netif_poll_enable()
When a driver writer calls this, they generally expect that
all previous stores and modifications they've made will be
visible before netif_poll_enable() executes, so ensure this.

Ingo Molnar 8018c27b26 [PATCH] kvm: fix GFP_KERNEL allocation in atomic section in kvm_dev_ioctl_create_vcpu()
fix an GFP_KERNEL allocation in atomic section: kvm_dev_ioctl_create_vcpu()
called kvm_mmu_init(), which calls alloc_pages(), while holding the vcpu.

The fix is to set up the MMU state in two phases: kvm_mmu_create() and
kvm_mmu_setup().

(NOTE: free_vcpus does an kvm_mmu_destroy() call so there's no need for any
extra teardown branch on allocation/init failure here.)

Yoshimi Ichiyanagi 09db28b8a3 [PATCH] KVM: Initialize kvm_arch_ops on unload
The latest version of kvm doesn't initialize kvm_arch_ops in kvm_init(), which
causes an error with the following sequence.

1. Load the supported arch's module.
2. Load the unsupported arch's module.$B!!(B(loading error)
3. Unload the unsupported arch's module.

You'll get the following error message after step 3.  "BUG: unable to handle
to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx"

The problem here is that the unsupported arch's module overwrites kvm_arch_ops
of the supported arch's module at step 2.

This patch initializes kvm_arch_ops upon loading architecture specific kvm
module, and prevents overwriting kvm_arch_ops when kvm_arch_ops is already set
correctly.

The fallback to PIO mode in the hwif->dma_check() handler doesn't work in
the Intel PIIX and SMsC SLC90E66 IDE drivers because:

- config_drive_for_dma() calls the hwif->speedproc() handler with a wrong
  mode number (unbiased by XFER_PIO_0) in case of the PIO fallback;

- hwif->tuneproc() handler doesn't really set the drive's own speed (this
  is not fixed as yet).

David Brownell 4b1badf5d9 [PATCH] SPI: define null tx_buf to mean "shift out zeroes"
Some issues were recently turned up with the current specification of what
it means for spi_transfer.tx_buf to be null, as part of transfers which are
(from the SPI protocol driver perspective) pure reads.

Specifically, that it seems better to change the TX behaviour there from
"undefined" to "will shift zeroes".  This lets protocol drivers (like the
ads7846 driver) depend on that behavior.  It's what most controller drivers
in the tree are already doing (with one exception and one case of driver
wanting-to-oops), it's what Microwire hardware will necessarily be doing,
and it removes an issue whereby certain security audits would need to
define such a value anyway as part of removing covert channels.

This patch changes the specification to require shifting zeroes, and
updates all currently merged SPI controller drivers to do so.

Ingo Molnar 9414232fa0 [PATCH] sched: fix cond_resched_softirq() offset
Remove the __resched_legal() check: it is conceptually broken.  The biggest
problem it had is that it can mask buggy cond_resched() calls.  A
cond_resched() call is only legal if we are not in an atomic context, with
two narrow exceptions:

 - if the system is booting
 - a reacquire_kernel_lock() down() done while PREEMPT_ACTIVE is set

But __resched_legal() hid this and just silently returned whenever
these primitives were called from invalid contexts. (Same goes for
cond_resched_locked() and cond_resched_softirq()).

Furthermore, the __legal_resched(0) call was buggy in that it caused
unnecessarily long softirq latencies via cond_resched_softirq().  (which is
only called from softirq-off sections, hence the code did nothing.)

The fix is to resurrect the efficiency of the might_sleep checks and to
only allow the narrow exceptions.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 96ac5913f4 [PATCH] fix oom killer kills current every time if there is memory-less-node take2
constrained_alloc(), which is called to detect where oom is from, checks
passed zone_list().  If zone_list doesn't include all nodes, it thinks oom
is from mempolicy.

But there is memory-less-node.  memory-less-node's zones are never included
in zonelist[].

contstrained_alloc() should get memory_less_node into count.  Otherwise, it
always thinks 'oom is from mempolicy'.  This means that current process
dies at any time.  This patch fix it.

Ingo Molnar 52e88f5d4a [PATCH] change WARN_ON back to "BUG: at ..."
WARN_ON() ever triggering is a kernel bug.  Do not try to paper over this
fact by suggesting to the user that this is 'only' a warning, as the
following recent commit does:

  commit 30e25b71e7
  Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
  Date:   Fri Dec 8 02:36:24 2006 -0800

    [PATCH] Fix generic WARN_ON message

    A warning is a warning, not a BUG.

( it might make sense to rename BUG() to CRASH() and BUG_ON() to
  CRASH_ON(), but that does not change the fact that WARN_ON()
  signals a kernel bug. )

i and others objected to this change during lkml review:

  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116115160710533&w=2

still the change slipped upstream - grumble :)

Also, use the standard "BUG: " format to make it easier to grep logs and
to make it easier to google for kernel bugs.

Zach Brown 1ebb1101c5 [PATCH] Fix lock inversion aio_kick_handler()
lockdep found a AB BC CA lock inversion in retry-based AIO:

1) The task struct's alloc_lock (A) is acquired in process context with
   interrupts enabled.  An interrupt might arrive and call wake_up() which
   grabs the wait queue's q->lock (B).

2) When performing retry-based AIO the AIO core registers
   aio_wake_function() as the wake funtion for iocb->ki_wait.  It is called
   with the wait queue's q->lock (B) held and then tries to add the iocb to
   the run list after acquiring the ctx_lock (C).

3) aio_kick_handler() holds the ctx_lock (C) while acquiring the
   alloc_lock (A) via lock_task() and unuse_mm().  Lockdep emits a warning
   saying that we're trying to connect the irq-safe q->lock to the
   irq-unsafe alloc_lock via ctx_lock.

This fixes the inversion by calling unuse_mm() in the AIO kick handing path
after we've released the ctx_lock.  As Ben LaHaise pointed out __put_ioctx
could set ctx->mm to NULL, so we must only access ctx->mm while we have the
lock.

fine when the driver is compiled as a module but it sure is not when built
into the kernel as the kernel parameters are parsed before the kmalloc
