partial slabs to the end of the partial queue so that they can add
more objects.

4743e0ec12 [XFS] Initialise current offset in xfs_file_readdir correctly
After reading the directory contents into the temporary buffer, we grab
each dirent and pass it to filldir witht eh current offset of the dirent.
The current offset was not being set for the first dirent in the temporary
buffer, which coul dresult in bad offsets being set in the f_pos field
result in looping and duplicate entries being returned from readdir.

bad60fdd14 [XFS] Fix mknod regression
This was broken by my '[XFS] simplify xfs_create/mknod/symlink prototype',
which assigned the re-shuffled ondisk dev_t back to the rdev variable in
xfs_vn_mknod. Because of that i_rdev is set to the ondisk dev_t instead of
the linux dev_t later down the function.

Fortunately the fix for it is trivial: we can just remove the assignment
because xfs_revalidate_inode has done the proper job before unlocking the
inode.

c0a698b744 x86: fix die() to not be preemptible
Andrew "Eagle Eye" Morton noticed that we use raw_local_save_flags()
instead of raw_local_irq_save(flags) in die(). This allows the
preemption of oopsing contexts - which is highly undesirable. It also
causes CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT to complain, as reported by Miles Lane.

this bug was introduced via:

  commit 39743c9ef7
  Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
  Date:   Fri Oct 19 20:35:03 2007 +0200

      x86: use raw locks during oopses

-               spin_lock_irqsave(&die.lock, flags);
+               __raw_spin_lock(&die.lock);
+               raw_local_save_flags(flags);

that is not a correct open-coding of spin_lock_irqsave(): both the
ordering is wrong (irqs should be disabled _first_), and the wrong
flags-saving API was used.

91e1062592 dm crypt: use bio_add_page
Fix possible max_phys_segments violation in cloned dm-crypt bio.

In write operation dm-crypt needs to allocate new bio request
and run crypto operation on this clone. Cloned request has always
the same size, but number of physical segments can be increased
and violate max_phys_segments restriction.

This can lead to data corruption and serious hardware malfunction.
This was observed when using XFS over dm-crypt and at least
two HBA controller drivers (arcmsr, cciss) recently.

Fix it by using bio_add_page() call (which tests for other
restrictions too) instead of constructing own biovec.

All versions of dm-crypt are affected by this bug.

512875bd96 dm: table detect io beyond device
This patch fixes a panic on shrinking a DM device if there is
outstanding I/O to the part of the device that is being removed.
(Normally this doesn't happen - a filesystem would be resized first,
for example.)

The bug is that __clone_and_map() assumes dm_table_find_target()
always returns a valid pointer.  It may fail if a bio arrives from the
block layer but its target sector is no longer included in the DM
btree.

This patch appends an empty entry to table->targets[] which will
be returned by a lookup beyond the end of the device.

After calling dm_table_find_target(), __clone_and_map() and target_message()
check for this condition using
dm_target_is_valid().

Sample test script to trigger oops:

2c3b20e91f debug: add end-of-oops marker
Right now it's nearly impossible for parsers that collect kernel crashes
from logs or emails (such as www.kerneloops.org) to detect the
end-of-oops condition. In addition, it's not currently possible to
detect whether or not 2 oopses that look alike are actually the same
oops reported twice, or are truly two unique oopses.

This patch adds an end-of-oops marker, and makes the end marker include
a very simple 64-bit random ID to be able to detect duplicate reports.

Normally, this ID is calculated as a late_initcall() (in the hope that
at that time there is enough entropy to get a unique enough ID); however
for early oopses the oops_exit() function needs to generate the ID on
the fly.

We do this all at the _end_ of an oops printout, so this does not impact
our ability to get the most important portions of a crash out to the
console first.

[ Sidenote: the already existing oopses-since-bootup counter we print
  during crashes serves as the differentiator between multiple oopses
  that trigger during the same bootup. ]

Tested on 32-bit and 64-bit x86. Artificially injected very early
crashes as well, as expected they result in this constant ID after
multiple bootups:

  ---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]---
  ---[ end trace ca143223eefdc828 ]---

because the random pools are still all zero. But it all still works
fine and causes no additional problems (which is the main goal of
instrumentation code).

3a6927906f Do dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache
Krzysztof Oledzki noticed a dirty page accounting leak on some of his
machines, causing the machine to eventually lock up when the kernel
decided that there was too much dirty data, but nobody could actually
write anything out to fix it.

The culprit turns out to be filesystems (cough ext3 with data=journal
cough) that re-dirty the page when the "->invalidatepage()" callback is
called.

Fix it up by doing a final dirty page accounting check when we actually
remove the page from the page cache.

This fixes bugzilla entry 9182:

I instrumented arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:get_free_idx() and ended up
seeing output like

[pid] idx   desc->a  desc->b
-----------------------------
[2710] 0 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2710] 1 -> 0 0
[2710] 2 -> 0 0

[2710] 0 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2710] 1 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2710] 2 -> 0 0

[2711] 0 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2711] 1 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2711] 2 -> 48c0ffff 40dff317

which suggested to me that TLS pointers were surviving exec() calls,
leading to GDT pointers filling up and the eventual failure of
get_free_idx().

I think the solution is flushing the tls array on exec.

aec103bfa6 [IA64] Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes when allocating memory
Improve performance of memory allocations on ia64 by avoiding a global TLB
purge to purge a single page from the file cache. This happens whenever we
evict a page from the buffer cache to make room for some other allocation.

Test case: Run 'find /usr -type f | xargs cat > /dev/null' in the
background to fill the buffer cache, then run something that uses memory,
e.g. 'gmake -j50 install'. Instrumentation showed that the number of
global TLB purges went from a few millions down to about 170 over a 12
hours run of the above.

The performance impact is particularly noticeable under virtualization,
because a virtual TLB is generally both larger and slower to purge than
a physical one.

2018df76d2 [IA64] signal: remove redundant code in setup_sigcontext()
This patch removes some redundant code in the function setup_sigcontext().

The registers ar.ccv,b7,r14,ar.csd,ar.ssd,r2-r3 and r16-r31 are not
restored in restore_sigcontext() when (flags & IA64_SC_FLAG_IN_SYSCALL) is
true.  So we don't need to zero those variables in setup_sigcontext().

a3ebdb6c42 IA64: Slim down __clear_bit_unlock

variable.  Avoid a cmpxchg and simply do a store with release semantics.
Add a barrier to be safe that the compiler does not do funky things.

Humm not a collision - thats a bug in the driver updating.  Looks like the
changes I made and combined with Christoph's lost a line somewhere when I
was merging it all.

cedefa13db [SCSI] sym53c8xx: fix "irq X: nobody cared" regression
The patch described by the following excerpt from ChangeLog-2.6.24-rc1
eventually causes a "irq X: nobody cared" error after a while:

Date:   Fri Oct 5 15:55:12 2007 -0400

    [SCSI] sym53c8xx: Make interrupt handler capable of returning IRQ_NONE

After this happens, the kernel disables the IRQ, causing the SCSI card
to stop working until the next reboot.  The problem is caused by the
interrupt handler returning IRQ_NONE instead of IRQ_HANDLED after
handling an interrupt-on-the-fly (INTF) condition.  The following patch
fixes the problem.
