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.

Sergei Shtylyov 44854add66 [PATCH] PIIX/SLC90E66: PIO mode fallback fix
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).

Sergei Shtylyov 242ce41fc9 [PATCH] PIIX: remove check for broken MW DMA mode 0
There's no need to check in piix_config_drive_for_dma() for broken MW DMA
mode 0 as this mode is not supported by the driver (it sets
hwif->mwdma_mask to 0x6), and hence can't be selected by ide_dma_speed().

(Alan sayeth "Probably right but if not you've got a subtle corruptor.  Should
at least stick a BUG_ON mode 0 setting right close when the mode is set.")

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.

callback.

keep the __init attribute on the latter.

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.

contstrained_alloc() should get memory_less_node into count.  Otherwise, it

WARN_ON() ever triggering is a kernel bug.  Do not try to paper over this

  commit 30e25b71e7

  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.

Sebastien Dugué 43cdff92ad [PATCH] Fix IPMI watchdog set_param_str() using kstrdup
set_param_str() cannot use kstrdup() to duplicate the parameter.  That's
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
slabs are setup.

Linus Torvalds 7658cc2892 VM: Fix nasty and subtle race in shared mmap'ed page writeback
The VM layer (on the face of it, fairly reasonably) expected that when
it does a ->writepage() call to the filesystem, it would write out the
full page at that point in time.  Especially since it had earlier marked
the whole page dirty with "set_page_dirty()".

But that isn't actually the case: ->writepage() does not actually write
a page, it writes the parts of the page that have been explicitly marked
dirty before, *and* that had not got written out for other reasons since
the last time we told it they were dirty.

That last caveat is the important one.

Which _most_ of the time ends up being the whole page (since we had
called "set_page_dirty()" on the page earlier), but if the filesystem
had done any dirty flushing of its own (for example, to honor some
internal write ordering guarantees), it might end up doing only a
partial page IO (or none at all) when ->writepage() is actually called.

That is the correct thing in general (since we actually often _want_
only the known-dirty parts of the page to be written out), but the
shared dirty page handling had implicitly forgotten about these details,
and had a number of cases where it was doing just the "->writepage()"
part, without telling the low-level filesystem that the whole page might
have been re-dirtied as part of being mapped writably into user space.

Since most of the time the FS did actually write out the full page, we
didn't notice this for a loong time, and this needed some really odd
patterns to trigger.  But it caused occasional corruption with rtorrent
and with the Debian "apt" database, because both use shared mmaps to
update the end result.

This fixes it. Finally. After way too much hair-pulling.
