f26f7c4805 [SCTP]: Add bind hash locking to the migrate code
SCTP accept code tries to add a newliy created socket
to a bind bucket without holding a lock.   On a really
busy system, that can causes slab corruptions.
Add a lock around this code.

7f53878dc2 [IPv4]: Reply net unreachable ICMP message
IPv4 stack doesn't reply any ICMP destination unreachable message
with net unreachable code when IP detagrams are being discarded
because of no route could be found in the forwarding path.
Incidentally, IPv6 stack replies such ICMPv6 message in the similar

7cc955c8fd [POWERPC] virtex bug fix: Use canonical value for AC97 interrupt xparams
The ml300 and ml403 xparameters.h files use different macros for the
AC97 interrupt pin assignments.  This normalizes them to a canonical
value similar to what EDK generates for most other devices.  This is
needed to get ml300 support to compile in arch/ppc.

radeonfb was HPMC-ing my C8000 by trying to map its expansion rom from
IO_VIEW, instead of PA_VIEW. Fix seems to be to ensure that its disabled

ROMS, such as a quad tulip. Thankfully, it isn't harmful.

00a5825332 Fix oprofile configuration breakage
The cleanup 09cadedbdc broke the oprofile
configuration for MIPS by allowing oprofile support to be built for
kernel models where oprofile doesn't have a chance in hell to work.

Just a dependecy list on a number of architectures is - surprise - broken
and should as per past discussions probably in most considered to be
broken in most cases.  So I introduce a dependency for the oprofile
configuration on ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPROFILE.

2421ba5b57 [PARISC] timer interrupt should not be IRQ_DISABLED
The timer interrupt had accidentally been marked IRQ_DISABLED since
IRQ_PER_CPU had been OR-ed in, instead of set. This had been working
by accident for quite a while.

Commit c642b8391c changed the behaviour of
IRQ_PER_CPU interrupts, which previously weren't checked for IRQ_DISABLED.

81a3843f97 [POWERPC] Fix hardware IRQ time accounting problem.
The commit fa13a5a1f2 (sched: restore
deterministic CPU accounting on powerpc), unconditionally calls
update_process_tick() in system context.  In the deterministic
accounting case this is the correct thing to do.  However, in the
non-deterministic accounting case we need to not do this, since doing
this results in the time accounted as hardware irq time being
artificially elevated.

Also this collapses 2 consecutive '#ifdef CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING'
checks in time.h into one for neatness.

Code in ocfs2 had __force casts added apparently to shut the sparse

for no reason whatsoever...

7e46aa5c8c regression: bfs endianness bug
BFS_FILEBLOCKS() expects struct bfs_inode * (on-disk data, with little-
endian fields), not struct bfs_inode_info * (in-core stuff, with host-
endian ones).

It's a macro and fields with the right names are present in
bfs_inode_info, so it compiles, but on big-endian host it gives bogus
results.

Introduced in commit f433dc5634 ("Fixes to
the BFS filesystem driver").

5a622f2d0f proc: fix proc_dir_entry refcounting
Creating PDEs with refcount 0 and "deleted" flag has problems (see below).
Switch to usual scheme:
* PDE is created with refcount 1
* every de_get does +1
* every de_put() and remove_proc_entry() do -1
* once refcount reaches 0, PDE is freed.

This elegantly fixes at least two following races (both observed) without
introducing new locks, without abusing old locks, without spreading
lock_kernel():

1) PDE leak

remove_proc_entry			de_put
-----------------			------
			[refcnt = 1]
if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)
					if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
						if (de->deleted)
							/* also not taken! */
							free_proc_entry(de);
else
	de->deleted = 1;
		[refcount=0, deleted=1]

2) use after free

remove_proc_entry			de_put
-----------------			------
			[refcnt = 1]

					if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)
	free_proc_entry(de);
						/* boom! */
						if (de->deleted)
							free_proc_entry(de);

Also, remove broken usage of ->deleted from reiserfs: if sget() succeeds,
module is already pinned and remove_proc_entry() can't happen => nobody
can mark PDE deleted.

Dummy proc root in netns code is not marked with refcount 1. AFAICS, we
never get it, it's just for proper /proc/net removal. I double checked
CLONE_NETNS continues to work.

Patch survives many hours of modprobe/rmmod/cat loops without new bugs
which can be attributed to refcounting.

d4beaf4ab5 jbd: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd/checkpoint.c
Before we start committing a transaction, we call
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
buffers.

If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).

We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
transaction in T_FINISHED state.  The locking there is subtle though (as
everywhere in JBD ;().  We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
can get to T_FINISHED state.

Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
transaction cannot change state either.  Better be safe if something
changes in future...

369b8f5a70 mm: fix XIP file writes
Writing to XIP files at a non-page-aligned offset results in data corruption

4670df831c gpio_cs5535: disable AUX on output
The AMD CS5535/CS5536 GPIO has two alternate output modes: AUX-1 and AUX-2.
When either AUX is enabled, the cs5535_gpio driver cannot control the
output.

Some BIOS code for the Geode processor enables AUX-1 for GPIO-1, which
configures it as the PC BEEP output.

This patch will disable AUX-1 and AUX-2 when the user enables output.

f1dad166e8 Avoid potential NULL dereference in unregister_sysctl_table
register_sysctl_table() can return NULL sometimes, e.g.  when kmalloc()
returns NULL or when sysctl check fails.

I've also noticed, that many (most?) code in the kernel doesn't check for
the return value from register_sysctl_table() and later simply calls the
unregister_sysctl_table() with potentially NULL argument.

This is unlikely on a common kernel configuration, but in case we're
dealing with modules and/or fault-injection support, there's a slight
possibility of an OOPS.

Changing all the users to check for return code from the registering does
not look like a good solution - there are too many code doing this and
failure in sysctl tables registration is not a good reason to abort module
loading (in most of the cases).

So I think, that we can just have this check in unregister_sysctl_table
just to avoid accidental OOPS-es (actually, the unregister_sysctl_table()
did exactly this, before the start_unregistering() appeared).
