0bee8d2849 [PATCH] efs: add entry for EFS filesystem to MAINTAINERS as Orphan
The EFS filesystem does not have an entry in MAINTAINERS; add one, giving
the EFS filesystem and listing the status as Orphan, per the note on that
page saying "I'm no longer actively maintaining EFS".

0aa9e4f147 [PATCH] efs: Remove incorrect unlock_kernel from failure path in efs_symlink_readpage()
If efs_symlink_readpage hits the -ENAMETOOLONG error path, it will call
unlock_kernel without ever having called lock_kernel(); fix this by
creating and jumping to a new label fail_notlocked rather than the fail
label used after calling lock_kernel().

Commit 398c53a757702e1e3a7a2c24860c7ad26acb53ed (in the historical GIT
tree) moved the lock_kernel() in coda_open after the allocation of a
coda_file_info struct, but left an unlock_kernel() in the allocation
failure error path; remove it.

3ae192080c [PATCH] Fix swsusp with PNP BIOS
swsusp is unable to suspend my machine (DTK FortisPro TOP-5A notebook) with
kernel 2.6.17.5 because it's unable to suspend PNP device 00:16 (mouse).

The problem is in PNP BIOS.  pnp_bus_suspend() calls pnp_stop_dev() for the
device if the device can be disabled according to pnp_can_disable().  The
problem is that pnpbios_disable_resources() returns -EPERM if the device is
not dynamic (!pnpbios_is_dynamic()) but insert_device() happily sets
PNP_DISABLE capability/flag even if the device is not dynamic.  So we try
to disable non-dynamic devices which will fail.  This patch prevents
insert_device() from setting PNP_DISABLE if the device is not dynamic and
fixes suspend on my system.

5b6509aa8c [PATCH] inotify: fix deadlock found by lockdep
This is a real deadlock, a nice complex one:
(warning: long explanation follows so that Andrew can have a complete
patch description)

it's an ABCDA deadlock:

A iprune_mutex
B inode->inotify_mutex
C ih->mutex
D dev->ev_mutex

The AB relationship comes straight from invalidate_inodes()

int invalidate_inodes(struct super_block * sb)
{
        int busy;
        LIST_HEAD(throw_away);

        mutex_lock(&iprune_mutex);
        spin_lock(&inode_lock);
        inotify_unmount_inodes(&sb->s_inodes);

where inotify_umount_inodes() takes the
                mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);

The BC relationship comes directly from inotify_find_update_watch():
s32 inotify_find_update_watch(struct inotify_handle *ih, struct inode *inode,
                              u32 mask)
{
   ...
        mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);
        mutex_lock(&ih->mutex);

The CD relationship comes from inotify_rm_wd:
inotify_rm_wd does
        mutex_lock(&inode->inotify_mutex);
        mutex_lock(&ih->mutex)
and then calls inotify_remove_watch_locked() which calls
notify_dev_queue_event() which does
	        mutex_lock(&dev->ev_mutex);

(this strictly is a BCD relationship)

The DA relationship comes from the most interesting part:

  [<ffffffff8022d9f2>] shrink_icache_memory+0x42/0x270
  [<ffffffff80240dc4>] shrink_slab+0x11d/0x1c9
  [<ffffffff802b5104>] try_to_free_pages+0x187/0x244
  [<ffffffff8020efed>] __alloc_pages+0x1cd/0x2e0
  [<ffffffff8025e1f8>] cache_alloc_refill+0x3f8/0x821
  [<ffffffff8020a5e5>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x85/0xcb
  [<ffffffff802db027>] kernel_event+0x2e/0x122
  [<ffffffff8021d61c>] inotify_dev_queue_event+0xcc/0x140

inotify_dev_queue_event schedules a kernel_event which does a
kmem_cache_alloc( , GFP_KERNEL) which may try to shrink slabs, including
the inode cache .. which then takes iprune_mutex.

And voila, there is an AB, a BC, a CD relationship (even a direct BCD),
and also now a DA relationship -> a circular type AB-BA deadlock but
involving 4 locks.

The solution is simple: kernel_event() is NOT allowed to use GFP_KERNEL,
but must use GFP_NOFS to not cause recursion into the VFS.

70ea91f17f [PATCH] Add linux-mm mailing list for memory management in MAINTAINERS file
Since I didn't know about the linux-mm mailing list until I spammed all
those that had their names anywhere in the mm directory, I'm sending this
patch to add the linux-mm mailing list to the MAINTAINERS file.

Also, since mm is so broad, it doesn't have a single person to maintain it,
and thus no maintainer is listed.  I also left the status as Maintained,
since it obviously is.

b50f60ceee [PATCH] pi-futex: missing pi_waiters plist initialization
Initialize init task's pi_waiters plist.  Otherwise cpu hotplug of cpu 0
might crash, since rt_mutex_getprio() accesses an uninitialized list head.

call chain which led to crash:

take_cpu_down
sched_idle_next
__setscheduler
rt_mutex_getprio

Using PLIST_HEAD_INIT in the INIT_TASK macro doesn't work unfortunately,
since the pi_waiters member is only conditionally present.

6ea24f9ad1 [PATCH] fix bad macro param in timer.c
We have

#define INDEX(N) (base->timer_jiffies >> (TVR_BITS + N * TVN_BITS)) & TVN_MASK

and it's used via

	list = varray[i + 1]->vec + (INDEX(i + 1));

So, due to underparenthesisation, this INDEX(i+1) is now a ...  (TVR_BITS + i
+ 1 * TVN_BITS)) ...

So this bugfix changes behaviour.  It worked before by sheer luck:

  "If i was anything but 0, it was broken.  But this was only used by
   s390 and arm.  Since it was for the next interrupt, could that next
   interrupt be a problem (going into the second cascade)? But it was
   probably seldom wrong.  That is, this would fail if the next
   interrupt was in the second cascade, and was wrapped.  Which may
   never of happened.  Also if it did happen, it would have just missed
   the interrupt.

   If an interrupt was missed, and no one was there to miss it, was it
   really missed :-)"

cea6a4ba8a [PATCH] panic_on_oops: remove ssleep()
This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across
all architectures that implement it.

It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in
interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a
panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at
all.

This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message
accordinly.  I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is
too long, feedback welcome.

For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour.

Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is
already not present.

c39df470e0 [PATCH] kprobe-booster: disable in preemptible kernel
The kprobe-booster's safety check against preemption does not work well
now, because the preemption count has been modified by read_rcu_lock() in
atomic_notifier_call_chain() before we check it.  So, I'd like to prevent
boosting kprobe temporarily if the kernel is preemptable.

Now we are searching for the good solution.

d1bbf14f37 [PATCH] knfsd: Fix stale file handle problem with subtree_checking.
A recent commit (7fc90ec93a) moved the
call to nfsd_setuser out of the 'find a dentry for a filehandle' branch
of fh_verify so that it would always be called.

This had the unfortunately side-effect of moving *after* the call to
decode_fh, so the prober fsuid was not set when nfsd_acceptable was called,
the 'permission' check did the wrong thing.

This patch moves the nfsd_setuser call back where it was, and add as call
in the other branch of the if.

163ecdff06 [PATCH] delay accounting: temporarily enable by default
Enable delay accounting by default so that feature gets coverage testing
without requiring special measures.

Earlier, it was off by default and had to be enabled via a boot time param.
 This patch reverses the default behaviour to improve coverage testing.  It
can be removed late in the kernel development cycle if its believed users
shouldn't have to incur any cost if they don't want delay accounting.  Or
it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common
enough to warrant keeping the feature on.

15a647eba9 [PATCH] genirq: {en,dis}able_irq_wake() need refcounting too
IRQs need refcounting and a state flag to track whether the the IRQ should
be enabled or disabled as a "normal IRQ" source after a series of calls to
{en,dis}able_irq().  For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled so long as at
least one driver needs it active.

Likewise, IRQs need the same support to track whether the IRQ should be
enabled or disabled as a "wakeup event" source after a series of calls to
{en,dis}able_irq_wake().  For shared IRQs, the IRQ must be enabled as a
wakeup source during sleep so long as at least one driver needs it.  But
right now they _don't have_ that refcounting ...  which means sharing a
wakeup-capable IRQ can't work correctly in some configurations.

This patch adds the refcount and flag mechanisms to set_irq_wake() -- which
is what {en,dis}able_irq_wake() call -- and minimal documentation of what
the irq wake mechanism does.

Drivers relying on the older (broken) "toggle" semantics will trigger a
warning; that'll be a handful of drivers on ARM systems.

822cfbff2e [PATCH] Process Events: Fix biarch compatibility issue. use __u64 timestamp
Events sent by Process Events Connector from a 64-bit kernel are not binary
compatible with a 32-bit userspace program because the "timestamp" field
(struct timespec) is not arch independent.  This affects the fields that
follow "timestamp" as they will be be off by 8 bytes.

This is a problem for 32-bit userspace programs running with 64-bit kernels
on ppc64, s390, x86-64..  any "biarch" system.

Matt had submitted a different solution to lkml as an RFC earlier.  We have
since switched to a solution recommended by Evgeniy Polyakov.

This patch fixes the problem by changing the timestamp to be a __u64, which
stores the number of nanoseconds.

Tested on a x86_64 system with both 32 bit application and 64 bit
application and on a i386 system.

2ccb48ebb4 [PATCH] ext3: avoid triggering ext3_error on bad NFS file handle
The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to
ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking.  If ext3_get_inode_block()
allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant
effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a
panic if `errors=panic' was used.

So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in
ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.
