c801147c5a [PATCH] SiS DRM: Fix possible NULL dereference
This fixes a NULL pointer reference in DRM.  The SiS driver tries to
allocate a big chunk of memory, but the return value is never checked.

8de9840265 [PATCH] USB: Fix USB suspend/resume crasher (#2)
This patch closes the IRQ race and makes various other OHCI & EHCI code
path safer vs. suspend/resume.
I've been able to (finally !) successfully suspend and resume various
Mac models, with or without USB mouse plugged, or plugging while asleep,
or unplugging while asleep etc... all without a crash.

Alan, please verify the UHCI bit I did, I only verified that it builds.
It's very simple so I wouldn't expect any issue there. If you aren't
confident, then just drop the hunks that change uhci-hcd.c

I also made the patch a little bit more "safer" by making sure the store
to the interrupt register that disables interrupts is not posted before
I set the flag and drop the spinlock.

Without this patch, you cannot reliably sleep/wakeup any recent Mac, and
I suspect PCs have some more sneaky issues too (they don't frankly crash
with machine checks because x86 tend to silently swallow PCI errors but
that won't last afaik, at least PCI Express will blow up in those
situations, but the USB code may still misbehave).

b0b623c3b2 [PATCH] hfsplus: don't modify journaled volume
Access to a journaled HFS+ volume is not officially supported under Linux, so
mount such a volume read-only, but users can override this behaviour using the
"force" mount option.

The minimum requirement to relax this check is to at least check that the
journal is empty and so nothing needs to be replayed to make sure the volume
is consistent.

576f6d7956 [PATCH] reiserfs: handle cnode allocation failure gracefully
If an external device is used for a journal, by default it will use the
entire device.  The reiserfs journal code allocates structures per journal
block when it mounts the file system.  If the journal device is too large,
and memory cannot be allocated for the structures, it will continue and
ultimately panic when it can't pull one off the free list.

This patch handles the allocation failure gracefully and prints an error
message at mount time.

Changes: Updated error message to be more descriptive to the user.

5bd0190bf3 [PATCH] Fix crash when ptrace poking hugepage areas
set_page_dirty() will not cope with being handed a page * which is part of
a compound page, but not the master page in that compound page.  This case
can occur via access_process_vm() if you attemp to write to another
process's hugepage memory area using ptrace() (causing an oops or hang).

This patch fixes the bug by only calling set_page_dirty() from
access_process_vm() if the page is not a compound page.  We already use a
similar fix in bio_set_pages_dirty() for the case of direct io to
hugepages.

18955cfcb2 [IPV4] tcp/route: Another look at hash table sizes
The tcp_ehash hash table gets too big on systems with really big memory.
It is worse on systems with pages larger than 4KB.  It wastes memory that
could be better used.  It also makes the netstat command slow because reading
/proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/tcp6 needs to go through the full hash table.

  The default value should not be larger for larger page sizes.  It seems
that the effect of page size is an unintended error dating back a long
time.  I also wonder if the default value really should be a larger
fraction of memory for systems with more memory.  While systems with
really big ram can afford more space for hash tables, it is not clear to
me that they benefit from increasing the allocation ratio for this table.

  The amount of memory allocated is determined by net/ipv4/tcp.c:tcp_init and
mm/page_alloc.c:alloc_large_system_hash.

tcp_init calls alloc_large_system_hash passing parameters-
    bucketsize=sizeof(struct tcp_ehash_bucket)
    numentries=thash_entries
    scale=(num_physpages >= 128 * 1024) ? (25-PAGE_SHIFT) : (27-PAGE_SHIFT)
    limit=0

On i386, PAGE_SHIFT is 12 for a page size of 4K
On ia64, PAGE_SHIFT defaults to 14 for a page size of 16K

The num_physpages test above makes the allocation take a larger fraction
of the total memory on systems with larger memory.  The threshold size
for a i386 system is 512MB.  For an ia64 system with 16KB pages the
threshold is 2GB.

For smaller memory systems-
On i386, scale = (27 - 12) = 15
On ia64, scale = (27 - 14) = 13
For larger memory systems-
On i386, scale = (25 - 12) = 13
On ia64, scale = (25 - 14) = 11

  For the rest of this discussion, I'll just track the larger memory case.

  The default behavior has numentries=thash_entries=0, so the allocated
size is determined by either scale or by the default limit of 1/16 of
total memory.

In alloc_large_system_hash-
|	numentries = (flags & HASH_HIGHMEM) ? nr_all_pages : nr_kernel_pages;
|	numentries += (1UL << (20 - PAGE_SHIFT)) - 1;
|	numentries >>= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;
|	numentries <<= 20 - PAGE_SHIFT;

  At this point, numentries is pages for all of memory, rounded up to the
nearest megabyte boundary.

|	/* limit to 1 bucket per 2^scale bytes of low memory */
|	if (scale > PAGE_SHIFT)
|		numentries >>= (scale - PAGE_SHIFT);
|	else
|		numentries <<= (PAGE_SHIFT - scale);

On i386, numentries >>= (13 - 12), so numentries is 1/8196 of
bytes of total memory.
On ia64, numentries <<= (14 - 11), so numentries is 1/2048 of
bytes of total memory.

|        log2qty = long_log2(numentries);
|
|        do {
|                size = bucketsize << log2qty;

bucketsize is 16, so size is 16 times numentries, rounded
down to a power of two.

On i386, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/128 of bytes of total memory.

For smaller systems the results are
On i386, size is 1/2048 of bytes of total memory.
On ia64, size is 1/512 of bytes of total memory.

  The large page effect can be removed by just replacing
the use of PAGE_SHIFT with a constant of 12 in the calls to
alloc_large_system_hash.  That makes them more like the other uses of
that function from fs/inode.c and fs/dcache.c
