[PATCH] freepgt: free_pgtables from FIRST_USER_ADDRESS
The patches to free_pgtables by vma left problems on any architectures
which
leave some user address page table entries unencapsulated by vma. Andi
has
fixed the 32-bit vDSO on x86_64 to use a vma. Now fix arm (and arm26),
whose
first PAGE_SIZE is reserved (perhaps) for machine vectors.
Our calls to free_pgtables must not touch that area, and exit_mmap's
BUG_ON(nr_ptes) must allow that arm's get_pgd_slow may (or may not) have
allocated an extra page table, which its free_pgd_slow would free later.
FIRST_USER_PGD_NR has misled me and others: until all the arches define
FIRST_USER_ADDRESS instead, a hack in mmap.c to derive one from t'other.
This
patch fixes the bugs, the remaining patches just clean it up.

the final clear_page_range suddenly presented when converted from pgd_index

holes
are never presented, and the arch variants can go.

[PATCH] freepgt: hugetlb_free_pgd_range
ia64 and ppc64 had hugetlb_free_pgtables functions which were no longer
being
called, and it wasn't obvious what to do about them.
The ppc64 case turns out to be easy: the associated tables are noted
elsewhere
and freed later, safe to either skip its hugetlb areas or go through the
motions of freeing nothing. Since ia64 does need a special case, restore
to
ppc64 the special case of skipping them.
The ia64 hugetlb case has been broken since pgd_addr_end went in, though
it
probably appeared to work okay if you just had one such area; in fact it's
been broken much longer if you consider a long munmap spanning from
another
region into the hugetlb region.
In the ia64 hugetlb region, more virtual address bits are available than
in
the other regions, yet the page tables are structured the same way: the
page
at the bottom is larger. Here we need to scale down each addr before
passing
it to the standard free_pgd_range. Was about to write a
hugely_scaled_down
macro, but found htlbpage_to_page already exists for just this purpose.
Fixed
off-by-one in ia64 is_hugepage_only_range.
Uninline free_pgd_range to make it available to ia64. Make sure the
vma-gathering loop in free_pgtables cannot join a hugepage_only_range to
any
other (safe to join huges? probably but don't bother).

Hugh Dickins:
[PATCH] freepgt: remove MM_VM_SIZE(mm)
There's only one usage of MM_VM_SIZE(mm) left, and it's a troublesome
macro
because mm doesn't contain the (32-bit emulation?) info needed. But it too
is
only needed because we ignore the end from the vma list.
We could make flush_pgtables return that end, or unmap_vmas. Choose the
latter, since it's a natural fit with unmap_mapping_range_vma needing to
know
its restart addr. This does make more than minimal change, but if
unmap_vmas
had returned the end before, this is how we'd have done it, rather than
storing the break_addr in zap_details.
unmap_vmas used to return count of vmas scanned, but that's just debug
which
hasn't been useful in a while; and if we want the map_count 0 on exit
check
back, it can easily come from the final remove_vm_struct loop.

[PATCH] freepgt: free_pgtables use vma list
Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and
4-level
clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its
long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the
higher-level
page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on
ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables.
Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by
free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the
same
way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables. This
brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is
enabled,
in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput).
Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region
instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated,
and
can only be freed while it is touched by some vma.
Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are
adapted
from the clear_page_range levels. (Most of free_pgtables' old code was
actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from
before
hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since
we
might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet,
going
by vma should itself reduce latency.
But what if is_hugepage_only_range? Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need
careful
examination: put that off until a later patch of the series.
What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma?
And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables? It's less clear to me now
that
we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will
be
flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied?
A shame to complicate it unnecessarily.

[PATCH] debugfs: Reduce <linux/debugfs.h> dependencies
The current <linux/debugfs.h> include file is a little fragile in that
it is not self-contained and hence may cause compile warnings or
errors depending on the files included before it, the kernel config
and the architecture. This patch makes things a little more robust by:
- including <linux/types.h> to get definitions of u32, mode_t, and so on.
- forward declaring struct file_operations.
- including <linux/err.h> when CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is not set
The last change is particularly useful, as a kernel developer is
likely to build with debugfs always enabled and never see the build
breakage cased if debugfs is disabled.

[PATCH] I2C: Fix incorrect sysfs file permissions in it87 and via686a
drivers
The it87 and via686a hardware monitoring drivers each create a sysfs
file named "alarms" in R/W mode, while they should really create it in
read-only mode. Since we don't provide a store function for these files,
write attempts to these files will do something undefined (I guess) and
bad (I am sure). My own try resulted in a locked terminal (where I
attempted the write) and a 100% CPU load until next reboot.
As a side note, wouldn't it make sense to check, when creating sysfs
files, that readable files have a non-NULL show method, and writable
files have a non-NULL store method? I know drivers are not supposed to
do stupid things, but there is already a BUG_ON for several conditions
in sysfs_create_file, so maybe we could add two more?

- More consistent handling of CDC output filters (but not yet hooking

- Zerocopy RX for RNDIS packets too (saving CPU cycles).
- Use the pre-allocated interrupt/status request and buffer, rather
than allocating and freeing one of each every few seconds (which
could fail).
- Some more "sparse" tweaks, making both dual-speed and single-speed
configurations happier.

[PATCH] USB: USB API documentation modification
In response to complaints about excessive latency in the uhci-hcd driver
I'm planning to convert it to a top-half/bottom-half design. It turns out
that to do this, the USB API has to be modified slightly since the driver
will not be able to meet one of the guarantees in the current API. This
patch changes some kerneldoc, specifying the weaker guarantee.

- Cope with pm_message_t replacing the target system state.
This is actually a loss of functionality; PCI D1 and D2
states will no longer be used, and it's no longer knowable
that D3cold is on the way so power will be lost.
- Most importantly, some of the resume paths are reworked and
cleaned up. They're now an exact mirror of suspend paths,
and more care is taken to ensure the hardware is reactivated
before the hardware re-enables interrupts.
Plus comment and diagnostic cleanups; there are some nasty cases here
especially combined with swsusp, now they're somewhat commented.

[PATCH] usb suspend updates (interface suspend)
This is the first of a few installments of PM API updates to match the
recent switch to "pm_message_t". This installment primarily affects
USB device drivers (for USB interfaces), and it changes the handful of
drivers which currently implement suspend methods:
- <linux/usb.h> and usbcore, signature change
- Some drivers only changed the signature, net effect this just
shuts up "sparse -Wbitwise":
* hid-core
* stir4200
- Two network drivers did that, and also grew slightly more
featureful suspend code ... they now properly shut down
their activities. (As should stir4200...)
* pegasus
* usbnet
Note that the Wake-On-Lan (WOL) support in pegasus doesn't yet work; looks
to me like it's missing a request to turn it on, vs just configuring it.
The ASIX code in usbnet also has WOL hooks that are ready to use;
untested.

Don't use cmd->request->nr_hw_segments as it may not be initialized

uses scsi_do_req to insert a scsi_request directly on the head of the

the number of segments will fit in the queue ring buffer, resulting in
commands that are never completed.
Fix up several issues with PCI DMA mapping and failure to check return
values on the mappings.
Make the check for space in the ring buffer happen after the DMA mapping
is done since any checks done before the mapping has taken place are
bogus.

This fixes a deadlock on the dcache lock detected during testing at IBM
by moving the logging of the current executable information from the
SELinux avc_audit function to audit_log_exit (via an audit_log_task_info

For consistency, the patch also removes the logging of other
task-related information from avc_audit, deferring handling to
audit_log_exit instead.
This allows simplification of the avc_audit code, allows the exe
information to be obtained more reliably, always includes the comm
information (useful for scripts), and avoids including bogus task
information for checks performed from irq or softirq.

[PATCH] sparc64: Reduce ptrace cache flushing
We were flushing the D-cache excessively for ptrace() processing
and this makes debugging threads so slow as to be totally unusable.
All process page accesses via ptrace() go via access_process_vm().
This routine, for each process page, uses get_user_pages(). That
in turn does a flush_dcache_page() on the child pages before we
copy in/out the ptrace request data.
Therefore, all we need to do after the data movement is:
1) Flush the D-cache pages if the kernel maps the page to a different
color than userspace does.
2) If we wrote to the page, we need to flush the I-cache on older cpus.
Previously we just flushed the entire cache at the end of a ptrace()
request, and that was beyond stupid.

[PATCH] sparc64: Do not flush dcache for ZERO_PAGE.
This case actually can get exercised a lot during an ELF

creates near terabyte process full of ZERO_PAGEes. It takes

[PATCH] revert fs/char_dev.c CONFIG_BASE_FULL change
This reverts a fs/char_dev.c patch that was merged into BK on March 3.
The problem is that it breaks things ... __register_chrdev_region() has
a block of code, commented "temporary" for over two years now, which
fails rudely during PCMCIA initialization or other register_chrdev()
calls, because it doesn't "degrade to linked list". This keeps whole
subsystems from working.
A real fix to that "temporary" code should be possible, using some better
scheme to allocate major numbers, but it's not something I want to spend

[PATCH] jbd dirty buffer leak fix
This fixes the lots-of-fsx-linux-instances-cause-a-slow-leak bug.
It's been there since 2.6.6, caused by:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches...
That patch moves under-writeout ordered-data buffers onto a separate
journal
list during commit. It took out the old code which was based on a single
list.
The old code (necessarily) had logic which would restart I/O against
buffers
which had been redirtied while they were on the committing transaction's
t_sync_datalist list. The new code only writes buffers once, ignoring
redirtyings by a later transaction, which is good.
But over on the truncate side of things, in journal_unmap_buffer(), we're
treating buffers on the t_locked_list as inviolable things which belong to
the
committing transaction, and we just leave them alone during concurrent
truncate-vs-commit.
The net effect is that when truncate tries to invalidate a page whose
buffers
are on t_locked_list and have been redirtied, journal_unmap_buffer() just
leaves those buffers alone. truncate will remove the page from its
mapping
and we end up with an anonymous clean page with dirty buffers, which is an
illegal state for a page. The JBD commit will not clean those buffers as
they
are removed from t_locked_list. The VM (try_to_free_buffers) cannot
reclaim
these pages.
The patch teaches journal_unmap_buffer() about buffers which are on the
committing transaction's t_locked_list. These buffers have been written
and
I/O has completed. We can take them off the transaction and undirty them
within the context of journal_invalidatepage()->journal_unmap_buffer().

[PATCH] IB/mthca: fix MTT allocation in mem-free mode
Fix bug in MTT allocation in mem-free mode.
I misunderstood the MTT size value returned by the firmware -- it is
really
the size of a single MTT entry, since mem-free mode does not segment the
MTT
as the original firmware did. This meant that our MTT addresses ended up
being off by a factor of 8. This meant that our MTT allocations might
overlap, and so we could overwrite and corrupt earlier memory regions when
writing new MTT entries.
We fix this by always using our 64-byte MTT segment size. This allows
some
simplification of the code as well, since there's no reason to put the MTT
segment size in a variable -- we can always use our enum value directly.

[PATCH] add Big Endian variants of ioread/iowrite
In the new io infrastructure, all of our operators are expecting the

consumer, is LE).
However, there are a fair few devices and busses in the world that are
actually Big Endian. There's even evidence that some of these BE bus and
chip types are attached to LE systems. Thus, there's a need for a BE
equivalent of our io{read,write}{16,32} operations.
The attached patch adds this as io{read,write}{16,32}be. When it's in,
I'll add the first consume (the 53c700 SCSI chip driver).

[PATCH] Direct IO async short read fix
The direct I/O code is mapping the read request to the file system block.
If
the file size was not on a block boundary, the result would show the the
read
reading past EOF. This was only happening for the AIO case. The non-AIO
case
truncates the result to match file size (in direct_io_worker). This patch
does the same thing for the AIO case, it truncates the result to match the
file size if the read reads past EOF.
When I/O completes the result can be truncated to match the file size
without using i_size_read(), thus the aio result now matches the number of
bytes read to the end of file.

[PATCH] ext2 corruption - regression between 2.6.9 and 2.6.10
Whilst trying to stress test a Promise SX8 card, we stumbled across
some nasty filesystem corruption in ext2. Our tests involved
creating an ext2 partition, mounting, running several concurrent
fsx's over it, umounting, and fsck'ing, all scripted[1]. The fsck
would always return with errors.
This regression was traced back to a change between 2.6.9 and
2.6.10, which moves the functionality of ext2_put_inode into
ext2_clear_inode. The attached patch reverses this change, and
eliminated the source of corruption.
Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> said:
I think his patch for ext2 is correct. The corruption on ext3 is not the
same
issue he saw on ext2. I believe that's the race between discard
reservation
and reservation in-use that we already fixed it in 2.6.12- rc1.
For the problem related to ext2, at the time when we design reservation
for
ext3, we decide we only need to discard the reservation at the last file
close, so we have ext3_discard_reservation on iput_final-
>ext3_clear_inode.
The ext2 handle discard preallocation differently at that time, it discard
the
preallocation at each iput(), not in input_final(), so we think it's
unnecessary to thrash it so frequently, and the right thing to do, as we
did
for ext3 reservation, discard preallocation on last iput(). So we moved
the
ext2_discard_preallocation from ext2_put_inode(0 to ext2_clear_inode.
Since ext2 preallocation is doing pre-allocation on disk, so it is
possible
that at the unmount time, someone is still hold the reference of the inode,
so
the preallocation for a file is not discard yet, so we still mark those
blocks
allocated on disk, while they are not actually in the inode's block map,
so
fsck will catch/fix that error later.
This is not a issue for ext3, as ext3 reservation(pre-allocation) is done
in
memory.

there seems to be a bug, at least for me, in kernel/param.c for arrays

for the call to param_array(), wich alters the .max value to the number of
arguments. The result is, you can't set more array arguments as the last
time you set the parameter.
example:
# a module 'example' with
# static int array[10] = { 0, };
# module_param_array(array, int, NULL, 0644);
$ insmod example.ko array=1,2,3
$ cat /sys/module/example/parameters/array

[PATCH] AYSNC IO using singals other than SIGIO
A question on sigwaitinfo based IO mechanism in multithreaded
applications.
I am trying to use RT signals to notify me of IO events using RT signals
instead of SIGIO in a multithreaded applications. I noticed that there
was
some discussion on lkml during november 1999 with the subject of the
discussion as "Signal driven IO". In the thread I noticed that RT signals
were being delivered to the worker thread. I am running 2.6.10 kernel and
I am trying to use the very same mechanism and I find that only SIGIO
being
propogated to the worker threads and RT signals only being propogated to
the main thread and not the worker threads where I actually want them to
be
propogated too. On further inspection I found that the following patch
which I have attached solves the problem.
I am not sure if this is a bug or feature in the kernel.
Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> said:
This relates only to fcntl F_SETSIG, which is a Linux extension. So there
is
no POSIX issue. When changing various things like the normal SIGIO
signalling
to do group signals, I was concerned strictly with the POSIX semantics and
generally avoided touching things in the domain of Linux inventions.
That's
why I didn't change this when I changed the call right next to it. There
is
no reason I can see that F_SETSIG-requested signals shouldn't use a group
signal like normal SIGIO does. I'm happy to ACK this patch, there is
nothing
wrong with its change to the semantics in my book. But neither POSIX nor
I
care a whit what F_SETSIG does.

[PATCH] possible use-after-free of bio
There is a possibility that a bio will be accessed after it has been freed

auto-unplugging kicks the request_fn, SCSI re-enables interrupts
in-between
so if the request completes between the add_request() in __make_request()

race, but it has been triggered in the Real World.
So assign bio_sync() to a local variable instead.

[PATCH] x86, x86_64: dual core proc-cpuinfo and sibling-map fix
- broken sibling_map setup in x86_64
- grouping all the core and HT related cpuinfo fields.
We are reasonably sure that adding new cpuinfo fields after "siblings"
field,
will not cause any app failure. Thats because today's /proc/cpuinfo
format is completely different on x86, x86_64 and we haven't heard of
any
x86 app breakage because of this issue. Grouping these fields will
result in more or less common format on all architectures (ia64, x86 and
x86_64) and will cause less confusion.

This will allow hotplug CPU in the future and in general cleans up a lot

I removed the old total sum of bogomips reporting code. The brag value of

Real CPU hotplug will need some more work, but the infrastructure for it

One drawback: the new TSC sync algorithm is less accurate than before.
The
old way of zeroing TSCs is too intrusive to do later. Instead the TSC of

- sync_tsc_bp_init seems to have the sense of `init' inverted.

Appended patch adds the support for Intel dual-core detection and

the core related information in /proc/cpuinfo.
It adds two new fields "core id" and "cpu cores" to x86 /proc/cpuinfo and
the
"core id" field for x86_64("cpu cores" field is already present in
x86_64).
Number of processor cores in a die is detected using cpuid(4) and this is
documented in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual (vol
2a)
(http://developer.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/index_...)
This patch also adds cpu_core_map similar to cpu_sibling_map.

[PATCH] x86_64: Keep only a single debug notifier chain
Calling a notifier three times in the debug handler does not make much
sense,
because a debugger can figure out the various conditions by itself.
Remove
the additional calls to DIE_DEBUG and DIE_DEBUGSTEP completely.
This matches what i386 does now.
This also makes sure interrupts are always still disabled when calling a
debugger, which prevents:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001] code: tpopf/1470
caller is post_kprobe_handler+0x9/0x70

on preemptible debug kernels with kprobes when single stepping in user

This was probably a bug even on non preempt kernels, this function was
supposed to be running with interrupts off according to a comment there.
Note to third part debugger maintainers: please double check your debugger

[PATCH] ppc64: no prefetch for NULL pointers
For prefetches of NULL (as when walking a short linked list), PPC64 will
in
some cases take a performance hit. The hardware needs to do the TLB walk,
and said walk will always miss, which means (up to) two L2 misses as
penalty. This seems to hurt overall performance, so for NULL pointers
skip
the prefetch alltogether.

[PATCH] ppc64: remove -fno-omit-frame-pointer
During some code inspection using gcc 4.0 I noticed a stack frame was
being
created for a number of functions that didnt require it. For example:
c0000000000df944 <._spin_unlock>:
c0000000000df944: fb e1 ff f0 std r31,-16(r1)
c0000000000df948: f8 21 ff c1 stdu r1,-64(r1)
c0000000000df94c: 7c 3f 0b 78 mr r31,r1
c0000000000df950: 7c 20 04 ac lwsync
c0000000000df954: e8 21 00 00 ld r1,0(r1)
c0000000000df958: 38 00 00 00 li r0,0
c0000000000df95c: 90 03 00 00 stw r0,0(r3)
c0000000000df960: eb e1 ff f0 ld r31,-16(r1)
c0000000000df964: 4e 80 00 20 blr
It turns out we are adding -fno-omit-frame-pointer to ppc64 which is
causing the above behaviour. Removing that flag results in much better
code:
c0000000000d5b30 <._spin_unlock>:
c0000000000d5b30: 7c 20 04 ac lwsync
c0000000000d5b34: 38 00 00 00 li r0,0
c0000000000d5b38: 90 03 00 00 stw r0,0(r3)
c0000000000d5b3c: 4e 80 00 20 blr

It also fixes a problem where if a CPU isn't recognized as having altivec

issuing altivec instructions, the kernel would happily enable it and
context switch the registers ... but not all of them (it would basically

[PATCH] ppc64: Improve mapping of vDSO
This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the
kernel
to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable
segments. Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use
get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to
after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so
that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before
create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the
proper address).
While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at
their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0. This is the address where
they are normally mapped in absence of conflict. By doing so, it should
be
possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.

[PATCH] ppc64: very basic desktop g5 sound support
This patch hacks the current PowerMac Alsa driver to add some basic
support
of analog sound output to some desktop G5s. It has severe limitations
though:
- Only 44100Khz 16 bits
- Only work on G5 models using a TAS3004 analog code, that is early
single CPU desktops and all dual CPU desktops at this date, but none
of the more recent ones like iMac G5.
- It does analog only, no digital/SPDIF support at all, no native
AC3 support
Better support would require a complete rewrite of the driver (which I am
working on, but don't hold your breath), to properly support the diversity
of apple sound HW setup, including dual codecs, several i2s busses, all
the
new codecs used in the new machines, proper clock switching with digital,
etc etc etc...
This patch applies on top of the other PowerMac sound patches I posted in
the past couple of days (new powerbook support and sleep fixes).
Note: This is a FAQ entry for PowerMac sound support with TI codecs: They
have a feature called "DRC" which is automatically enabled for the
internal
speaker (at least when auto mute control is enabled) which will cause your
sound to fade out to nothing after half a second of playback if you don't
set a proper "DRC Range" in the mixer. So if you have a problem like
that,
check alsamixer and raise your DRC Range to something reasonable.
Note2: This patch will also add auto-mute of the speaker when line-out
jack
is used on some earlier desktop G4s (and on the G5) in addition to the
headphone jack. If that behaviour isn't what you want, just disable
auto-muting and use the manual mute controls in alsamixer.

To add support for 36-bit physical addressing on e500 the following
changes
have been made. The changes are generalized to support any physical
address
size larger than 32-bits:
* Allow FSL Book-E parts to use a 64-bit PTE, it is 44-bits of pfn,
20-bits
of flags.
* Introduced new CPU feature (CPU_FTR_BIG_PHYS) to allow runtime handling
of
updating hardware register (SPRN_MAS7) which holds the upper 32-bits of
physical address that will be written into the TLB. This is useful
since
not all e500 cores support 36-bit physical addressing.
* Currently have a pass through implementation of fixup_bigphys_addr
* Moved _PAGE_DIRTY in the 64-bit PTE case to free room for three
additional
storage attributes that may exist in future FSL Book-E cores and updated
fault handler to copy these bits into the hardware TLBs.

[PATCH] ppc32: Fix AGP and sleep again
My previous patch that added sleep support for uninorth-agp and some AGP

specifically, it has problems with rage128 setups since the DRI code for
these in X doesn't properly re-enable AGP on wakeup or console switch
(unlike the radeon DRM).
This patch fixes the problem for pmac once for all by using a different
approach. The AGP driver "registers" special suspend/resume callbacks
with
some arch code that the fbdev's can later on call to suspend and resume
AGP, making sure it's resumed back in the same state it was when
suspended.
This is platform specific for now. It would be too complicated to try to
do a generic implementation of this at this point due to all sort of weird
things going on with AGP on other architectures. We'll re-work that whole
problem cleanly once we finally merge fbdev's and DRI.

requires IRQ acknowledge to be issued from non-interrupt context (e.g.
when actual ACK in device needs an I2C transaction). For such strange
hardware, interrupt handler disables IRQ and defers actual ACK to some
other context. When this happens, IRQ is enabled again. For

[PATCH] meminfo: add Cached underflow check
Working on some code lately I've been getting huge values for "Cached".
The cause is that get_page_cache_size() is an approximate value, and for a
sufficiently small returned value of get_page_cache_size() the value
underflows.

[PATCH] filemap_getpage can block when MAP_NONBLOCK specified
We will return NULL from filemap_getpage when a page does not exist in the
page cache and MAP_NONBLOCK is specified, here:
page = find_get_page(mapping, pgoff);
if (!page) {
if (nonblock)
return NULL;
goto no_cached_page;
}
But we forget to do so when the page in the cache is not uptodate. The
following could result in a blocking call:
/*
* Ok, found a page in the page cache, now we need to check
* that it's up-to-date.
*/
if (!PageUptodate(page))
goto page_not_uptodate;

[PATCH] SELinux: fix bug in Netlink message type detection
This patch fixes a bug in the SELinux Netlink message type detection code,
where the wrong constant was being used in a case statement. The
incorrect
value is not valid for this class of object so it would not have been
reached, and fallen through to a default handler for all Netlink messages.

[PATCH] re-export cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue
This was unexported by Arjan because we have no current users.
However, during a conversion from tasklets to workqueues of the parisc led
functions, we ran across a case where this was needed. In particular, the
open coded equivalent of cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue was implemented
incorrectly, which is, I think, all the evidence necessary that this is a
useful API.

From: Russell King <rmk+lkml@arm.linux.org.uk>
ARM wasn't raising a SIGBUS with a siginfo structure. Fix
__do_user_fault() to allow us to use it for SIGBUS conditions, and arrange
for the sigbus path to use this.
We need to prevent the siginfo code being called if we do not have a user
space context to call it, so consolidate the "user_mode()" tests.
Thanks to Ian Campbell who spotted this oversight.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
