8e3bad65a5 mac80211: remove ieee80211_notify_mac
Before ieee80211_notify_mac() was added, it was presented with the
use case of using it to tell mac80211 that the association may
have been lost because the firmware crashed/reset.

Since then, it has also been used by iwlwifi to (slightly) speed
up re-association after resume, a workaround around the fact that
mac80211 has no suspend/resume handling yet. It is also not used
by any other drivers, so clearly it cannot be necessary for "good
enough" suspend/resume.

Unfortunately, the callback suffers from a severe problem: It only
works for station mode. If suspend/resume happens while in IBSS or
any other mode (but station), then the callback is pointless.

Recently, it has created a number of locking issues, first because
it required rtnl locking rather than RCU due to calling sleeping
functions within the critical section, and now because it's called
by iwlwifi from the mac80211 workqueue that may not use the rtnl
because it is flushed under rtnl.
(cf. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12046)

I think, therefore, that we should take a step back, remove it
entirely for now and add the small feature it provided properly.
For suspend and resume we will need to introduce new hooks, and for
the case where the firmware was reset the driver will probably
simply just pretend it has done a suspend/resume cycle to get
mac80211 to reprogram the hardware completely, not just try to
connect to the current AP again in station mode. When doing so, we
will need to take into account locking issues and possibly defer
to schedule_work from within mac80211 for the resume operation,
while the suspend operation must be done directly.

Proper suspend/resume should also not necessarily try to reconnect
to the current AP, the time spent in suspend may have been short
enough to not be disconnected from the AP, mac80211 will detect
that the AP went out of range quickly if it did, and if the
association is lost then the AP will disassoc as soon as a data
frame is sent. We might also take into account WWOL then, and
have mac80211 program the hardware into such a mode where it is
available and requested.

this compiler warning:

Shows that the code flow in ds_request() is buggy - it goes into
the unlock+release-context path even when the context is not allocated
yet.

First allocate the context, then do the other checks.

Also, take care with GFP allocations under the ds_lock spinlock.

c26156b253 block: hold extra reference to bio in blk_rq_map_user_iov()
If the size passed in is OK but we end up mapping too many segments,
we call the unmap path directly like from IO completion. But from IO
completion we have an extra reference to the bio, so this error case
goes OOPS when it attempts to free and already free bio.

Fix it by getting an extra reference to the bio before calling the
unmap failure case.

561ec68e4d block: fix boot failure with CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT=y and nash
We run into system boot failure with kernel 2.6.28-rc. We found it on a
couple of machines, including T61 notebook, nehalem machine, and another
HPC NX6325 notebook.  All the machines use FedoraCore 8 or FedoraCore 9.
With kernel prior to 2.6.28-rc, system boot doesn't fail.

I debug it and locate the root cause. Pls. see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11899
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471517

As a matter of fact, there are 2 bugs.

1)root=/dev/sda1, system boot randomly fails. Mostly, boot for 5 times
and fails once. nash has a bug. Some of its functions misuse return
value 0.  Sometimes, 0 means timeout and no uevent available. Sometimes,
0 means nash gets an uevent, but the uevent isn't block-related (for
exmaple, usb). If by coincidence, kernel tells nash that uevents are
available, but kernel also set timeout, nash might stops collecting
other uevents in queue if current uevent isn't block-related.  I work
out a patch for nash to fix it.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18858

2) root=LABEL=/, system always can't boot. initrd init reports
switchroot fails. Here is an executation branch of nash when booting:
    (1) nash read /sys/block/sda/dev; Assume major is 8 (on my desktop)
    (2) nash query /proc/devices with the major number; It found line
	"8 sd";
    (3) nash use 'sd' to search its own probe table to find device (DISK)
	type for the device and add it to its own list;
    (4) Later on, it probes all devices in its list to get filesystem
	labels; scsi register "8 sd" always.

When major is 259, nash fails to find the device(DISK) type. I enables
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT=y when compiling kernel, so 259 is picked up
for device /dev/sda1, which causes nash to fail to find device (DISK)
type.

To fixing issue 2), I create a patch for nash and another patch for
kernel.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18859
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18837

Below is the patch for kernel 2.6.28-rc4. It registers blkext, a new
block device in proc/devices.

With 2 patches on nash and 1 patch on kernel, I boot my machines for
dozens of times without failure.

Impact: fix section mismatch warning in kernel/profile.c

Here, profile_nop function has been called from a non-init function
create_hash_tables(void). Which generetes a section mismatch warning.
Previously, create_hash_tables(void) was a init function. So, removing
__init from create_hash_tables(void) requires profile_nop to be
non-init.

This patch makes profile_nop function inline and fixes the
following warning:

 WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6ebb6): Section mismatch in reference from
 the function create_hash_tables() to the function
 .init.text:profile_nop()
 The function create_hash_tables() references

 This is often because create_hash_tables lacks a __init

700018e0a7 cpuset: fix regression when failed to generate sched domains
Impact: properly rebuild sched-domains on kmalloc() failure

When cpuset failed to generate sched domains due to kmalloc()
failure, the scheduler should fallback to the single partition
'fallback_doms' and rebuild sched domains, but now it only
destroys but not rebuilds sched domains.

The regression was introduced by:

| Date:   Fri Aug 29 13:11:41 2008 -0700
|
|    sched: arch_reinit_sched_domains() must destroy domains to force rebuild

After the above commit, partition_sched_domains(0, NULL, NULL) will
only destroy sched domains and partition_sched_domains(1, NULL, NULL)
will create the default sched domain.

b066a48c95 prevent cifs_writepages() from skipping unwritten pages
Fixes a data corruption under heavy stress in which pages could be left
dirty after all open instances of a inode have been closed.

In order to write contiguous pages whenever possible, cifs_writepages()
asks pagevec_lookup_tag() for more pages than it may write at one time.
Normally, it then resets index just past the last page written before calling
pagevec_lookup_tag() again.

If cifs_writepages() can't write the first page returned, it wasn't resetting
index, and the next call to pagevec_lookup_tag() resulted in skipping all of
the pages it previously returned, even though cifs_writepages() did nothing
with them.  This can result in data loss when the file descriptor is about
to be closed.

2c55608f28 Fixed parsing of mount options when doing DFS submount
Since these hit the same routines, and are relatively small, it is easier to review
them as one patch.

Fixed incorrect handling of the last option in some cases
Fixed prefixpath handling convert path_consumed into host depended string length (in bytes)
Use non default separator if it is provided in the original mount options

93ce99e849 x86: add rdtsc barrier to TSC sync check
Impact: fix incorrectly marked unstable TSC clock

Patch (commit 0d12cdd "sched: improve sched_clock() performance") has
a regression on one of the test systems here.

With the patch, I see:

 checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]:
 Measured 28 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
 Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed

Whereas, without the patch syncs pass fine on all CPUs:

 checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.

Due to this, TSC is marked unstable, when it is not actually unstable.
This is because syncs in check_tsc_wrap() goes away due to this commit.

As per the discussion on this thread, correct way to fix this is to add
explicit syncs as below?

65ecc14a30 Remove -mno-spe flags as they dont belong
For some unknown reason at Steven Rostedt added in disabling of the SPE
instruction generation for e500 based PPC cores in commit
6ec562328f.

We are removing it because:

1. It generates e500 kernels that don't work
2. its not the correct set of flags to do this
3. we handle this in the arch/powerpc/Makefile already
4. its unknown in talking to Steven why he did this

26a3e99160 xen: fix scrub_page()
Impact: fix guest kernel crash with CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES=y

Jens noticed that scrub_page() has a buggy unmap of the wrong
thing. (virtual address instead of page)

Linus pointed out that the whole scrub_page() code is an unnecessary
reimplementation of clear_highpage() to begin with.

Just use clear_highpage() rather than reimplementing it poorly.

ad133ba3dc sched, signals: fix the racy usage of ->signal in account_group_xxx/run_posix_cpu_timers
Impact: fix potential NULL dereference

Contrary to ad474caca3 changelog, other
acct_group_xxx() helpers can be called after exit_notify() by timer tick.
Thanks to Roland for pointing out this. Somehow I missed this simple fact
when I read the original patch, and I am afraid I confused Frank during
the discussion. Sorry.

Fortunately, these helpers work with current, we can check ->exit_state
to ensure that ->signal can't go away under us.

Also, add the comment and compiler barrier to account_group_exec_runtime(),
to make sure we load ->signal only once.
