7ab876703d [RADEON]: Fix blanking return value.
If you'll recall, over a year ago, I pointed out that the current
Radeon driver erroneously returns -EINVAL for valid blanking codes,
here is a link to that thread:

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/28/6

No other driver does this, and it confuses the X server into thinking
that the device does not support blanking properly.

I looked again and there is simply no reason for the Radeon driver to
return -EINVAL for FB_BLANK_NORMAL.  It claims it wants to do this in
order to convince fbcon to blank in software, right here:

			if (fb_blank(info, blank))
				fbcon_generic_blank(vc, info, blank);

to software blank the screen.  But it only causes that to happen
in the FB_BLANK_NORMAL case.

That makes no sense because the Radeon code does this:

		val |= CRTC_DISPLAY_DIS;

in the FB_BLANK_NORMAL case so should be blanking the hardware, and
there is therefore no reason to SW blank by returning -EINVAL.

f31f0cc2f0 [libata] change master/slave IDENTIFY order
2.6.21-rc has horrible problems with libata and PATA cable types (and
thus speeds). This occurs because Tejun fixed a pile of other bugs and
we now do cable detect enforcement for drive side detection properly.

Unfortunately we don't do the process around cable detection right. Tejun
identified the problem and pointed to the right Annex in the spec, this patch
implements the needed changes.

The basic requirement is that we have to identify the slave before the
master.

The patch switches the identify order so that we can do the drive side
detection correctly.

and signed-off-by Alan Cox]

032af1ce16 libata-core: Fix simplex handling
The initial simplex handling code is fooled if you suspend and resume.
This also causes problems with some single channel controllers which
claim to be simplex.

The fix is fairly simple, instead of keeping a flag to remember if we
gave away the simplex channel we remember the actual owner. As the owner
is always part of the host_set we don't even need a refcount.

Knowing the owner also means we can reassign simplex DMA channels in
future hotplug code etc if we need to

516dffdcd8 [PATCH] Fix get_unmapped_area and fsync for hugetlb shm segments
This patch provides the following hugetlb-related fixes to the recent stacked
shm files changes:
 - Update is_file_hugepages() so it will reconize hugetlb shm segments.
 - get_unmapped_area must be called with the nested file struct to handle
   the sfd->file->f_ops->get_unmapped_area == NULL case.
 - The fsync f_op must be wrapped since it is specified in the hugetlbfs
   f_ops.

This is based on proposed fixes from Eric Biederman that were debugged and
tested by me.  Without it, attempting to use hugetlb shared memory segments
on powerpc (and likely ia64) will kill your box.

5a39e8c6d6 [PATCH] tty_io: fix race in master pty close/slave pty close path
This patch fixes a possible race that leads to double freeing an idr index.
 When the master begin to close, release_dev() is called and then
pty_close() is called:

        if (tty->driver->close)
                tty->driver->close(tty, filp);

This is done without helding any locks other than BKL.  Inside pty_close(),
being a master close, the devpts entry will be removed:

#ifdef CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS
                if (tty->driver == ptm_driver)
                        devpts_pty_kill(tty->index);
#endif

But devpts_pty_kill() will call get_node() that may sleep while waiting for
&devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem.  When this happens and the slave is being
opened, tty_open() just found the driver and index:

        driver = get_tty_driver(device, &index);
        if (!driver) {
                mutex_unlock(&tty_mutex);
                return -ENODEV;
        }

This part of the code is already protected under tty_mute.  The problem is
that the slave close already got an index.  Then init_dev() is called and
blocks waiting for the same &devpts_root->d_inode->i_sem.

When the master close resumes, it removes the devpts entry, and the
relation between idr index and the tty is gone.  The master then sleeps
waiting for the tty_mutex on release_dev().

Slave open resumes and found no tty for that index.  As result, a NULL tty
is returned and init_dev() doesn't flow to fast_track:

        /* check whether we're reopening an existing tty */
        if (driver->flags & TTY_DRIVER_DEVPTS_MEM) {
                tty = devpts_get_tty(idx);
                if (tty && driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_MASTER)
                        tty = tty->link;
        } else {
                tty = driver->ttys[idx];
        }
        if (tty) goto fast_track;

The result of this, is that a new tty will be created and init_dev() returns
sucessfull. After returning, tty_mutex is dropped and master close may resume.

Master close finds it's the only use and both sides are closing, then releases
the tty and the index. At this point, the idr index is free, but slave still
has it.

Slave open then calls pty_open() and finds that tty->link->count is 0,
because there's no master and returns error.  Then tty_open() calls
release_dev() which executes without any warning, as it was a case of last
slave close when the master is already closed (master->count == 0,
slave->count == 1).  The tty is then released with the already released idr
index.

This normally would only issue a warning on idr_remove() but in case of a
customer's critical application, it's never too simple:

thread1: opens master, gets index X
thread1: begin closing master
thread2: begin opening slave with index X
thread1: finishes closing master, index X released
thread3: opens master, gets index X, just released
thread2: fails opening slave, releases index X         <----
thread4: opens master, gets index X, init_dev() then find an already in use
	 and healthy tty and fails

If no more indexes are released, ptmx_open() will keep failing, as the
first free index available is X, and it will make init_dev() fail because
you're trying to "reopen a master" which isn't valid.

The patch notices when this race happens and make init_dev() fail
imediately.  The init_dev() function is called with tty_mutex held, so it's
safe to continue with tty till the end of function because release_dev()
won't make any further changes without grabbing the tty_mutex.

Without the patch, on some machines it's possible get easily idr warnings
like this one:

17f0cd2f35 [PATCH] Fix buffer overflow and races in capi debug functions
The CAPI trace debug functions were using a fixed size buffer, which can be
overflowed if wrong formatted CAPI messages were sent to the kernel capi
layer.  The code was also not protected against multiple callers.  This fix
bug 8028.

Additionally the patch make the CAPI trace functions optional.

34bbd70405 [PATCH] adapt page_lock_anon_vma() to PREEMPT_RCU
page_lock_anon_vma() uses spin_lock() to block RCU.  This doesn't work with
PREEMPT_RCU, we have to do rcu_read_lock() explicitely.  Otherwise, it is
theoretically possible that slab returns anon_vma's memory to the system
before we do spin_unlock(&anon_vma->lock).

[ Hugh points out that this only matters for PREEMPT_RCU, which isn't merged
  yet, and may never be.  Regardless, this patch is conceptually the
  right thing to do, even if it doesn't matter at this point.  - Linus ]

7355690ead [PATCH] sched: fix SMT scheduler bug
The SMT scheduler incorrectly skips kernel threads even if they are
runnable (but they are preempted by a higher-prio user-space task which got
SMT-delayed by an even higher-priority task running on a sibling CPU).

Fix this for now by only doing the SMT-nice optimization if the
to-be-delayed task is the only runnable task.  (This should cover most of
the real-life cases anyway.)

This bug has been in the SMT scheduler since 2.6.17 or so, but has only
been noticed now by the active check in the dynticks code.

8a2bfdcbfa [PATCH] ext[34]: EA block reference count racing fix
There are race issues around ext[34] xattr block release code.

ext[34]_xattr_release_block() checks the reference count of xattr block
(h_refcount) and frees that xattr block if it is the last one reference it.
 Unlike ext2, the check of this counter is unprotected by any lock.
ext[34]_xattr_release_block() will free the mb_cache entry before freeing
that xattr block.  There is a small window between the check for the re
h_refcount ==1 and the call to mb_cache_entry_free().  During this small
window another inode might find this xattr block from the mbcache and reuse
it, racing a refcount updates.  The xattr block will later be freed by the
first inode without notice other inode is still use it.  Later if that
block is reallocated as a datablock for other file, then more serious
problem might happen.

We need put a lock around places checking the refount as well to avoid
racing issue.  Another place need this kind of protection is in
ext3_xattr_block_set(), where it will modify the xattr block content in-
the-fly if the refcount is 1 (means it's the only inode reference it).

This will also fix another issue: the xattr block may not get freed at all
if no lock is to protect the refcount check at the release time.  It is
possible that the last two inodes could release the shared xattr block at
the same time.  But both of them think they are not the last one so only
decreased the h_refcount without freeing xattr block at all.

We need to call lock_buffer() after ext3_journal_get_write_access() to
avoid deadlock (because the later will call lock_buffer()/unlock_buffer
() as well).

1463fdbcc7 [PATCH] uml: pte_mkread fix
Fix the fact that pte_mkread set _PAGE_RW instead of _PAGE_USER (the logic is
copied from i386 in most place, so it is really as bad as you're thinking).

Thus currently page tables are more permissive than they should.

Such a change may trigger other latent bugs, so be careful with this.

14251809b1 [PATCH] uml: host VDSO fix
This fixes a problem seen by a number of people running UML on newer host
kernels.  init would hang with an infinite segfault loop.

It turns out that the host kernel was providing a AT_SYSINFO_EHDR of
0xffffe000, which faked UML into believing that the host VDSO page could be
reused.  However, AT_SYSINFO pointed into the middle of the address space, and
was unmapped as a result.  Because UML was providing AT_SYSINFO_EHDR and
AT_SYSINFO to its own processes, these would branch to nowhere when trying to
use the VDSO.

The fix is to also check the location of AT_SYSINFO when deciding whether to
use the host's VDSO.
