1c59827d1d [PATCH] mm: hugetlb truncation fixes
hugetlbfs allows truncation of its files (should it?), but hugetlb.c often
forgets that: crashes and misaccounting ensue.

copy_hugetlb_page_range better grab the src page_table_lock since we don't
want to guess what happens if concurrently truncated.  unmap_hugepage_range
rss accounting must not assume the full range was mapped.  follow_hugetlb_page
must guard with page_table_lock and be prepared to exit early.

Restyle copy_hugetlb_page_range with a for loop like the others there.

e03d13e985 [PATCH] Fix cpu timers exit deadlock and races
Oleg Nesterov reported an SMP deadlock.  If there is a running timer
tracking a different process's CPU time clock when the process owning
the timer exits, we deadlock on tasklist_lock in posix_cpu_timer_del via
exit_itimers.

That code was using tasklist_lock to check for a race with __exit_signal
being called on the timer-target task and clearing its ->signal.
However, there is actually no such race.  __exit_signal will have called
posix_cpu_timers_exit and posix_cpu_timers_exit_group before it does
that.  Those will clear those k_itimer's association with the dying
task, so posix_cpu_timer_del will return early and never reach the code
in question.

In addition, posix_cpu_timer_del called from exit_itimers during execve
or directly from timer_delete in the process owning the timer can race
with an exiting timer-target task to cause a double put on timer-target
task struct.  Make sure we always access cpu_timers lists with sighand
lock held.

3359b54c8c [PATCH] Handle spurious page fault for hugetlb region
The hugetlb pages are currently pre-faulted.  At the time of mmap of
hugepages, we populate the new PTEs.  It is possible that HW has already
cached some of the unused PTEs internally.  These stale entries never
get a chance to be purged in existing control flow.

This patch extends the check in page fault code for hugepages.  Check if
a faulted address falls with in size for the hugetlb file backing it.
We return VM_FAULT_MINOR for these cases (assuming that the arch
specific page-faulting code purges the stale entry for the archs that
need it).

bb7e257ef8 [PATCH] vesafb: Fix display corruption on display blank
Reported by: Bob Tracy <rct@gherkin.frus.com>

 "...I've got a Toshiba notebook (730XCDT -- Pentium 150MMX) for which
  I'm using the Vesa FB driver.  When the machine has been idle for some
  time and the driver attempts to powerdown the display, rather than the
  display going blank, it goes gray with several strange lines.  When I
  hit the "shift" key or other-wise wake up the display, the old video
  state is not fully restored..."

vesafb recently added a blank method which has only 2 states, powerup and
powerdown.  The powerdown state is used for all blanking levels, but in his
case, powerdown does not work correctly for higher levels of display
powersaving. Thus, for intermediate power levels, use software blanking,
and use only hardware blanking for an explicit powerdown.

4faa528528 [PATCH] aio: revert lock_kiocb()
lock_kiocb() was introduced to serialize retrying and cancellation.  In the
process of doing so it tried to sleep waiting for KIF_LOCKED while holding
the ctx_lock spinlock.  Recent fixes have ensured that multiple concurrent
retries won't be attempted for a given iocb.  Cancel has other problems and
has no significant in-tree users that have been complaining about it.  So
for the immediate future we'll revert sleeping with the lock held and will

13b58ee518 [PATCH] USB: fix bug in handling of highspeed usb HID devices
During the development of an USB device I found a bug in the handling of
Highspeed HID devices in the kernel.

What happened?

Highspeed HID devices are correctly recognized and enumerated by the
kernel. But even if usbhid kernel module is loaded, no HID reports are
received by the kernel.

The output of the hardware USB analyzer told me that the host doesn't
even poll for interrupt IN transfers (even the "interrupt in" USB
transfer are polled by the host).

After some debugging in hid-core.c I've found the reason.

In case of a highspeed device, the endpoint interval is re-calculated in
driver/usb/input/hid-core.c:

line 1669:
             /* handle potential highspeed HID correctly */
             interval = endpoint->bInterval;
             if (dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH)
                   interval = 1 << (interval - 1);

Basically this calculation is correct (refer to USB 2.0 spec, 9.6.6).
This new calculated value of "interval" is used as input for
usb_fill_int_urb:

line 1685:

            usb_fill_int_urb(hid->urbin, dev, pipe, hid->inbuf, 0,
                   hid_irq_in, hid, interval);

Unfortunately the same calculation as above is done a second time in
usb_fill_int_urb in the file include/linux/usb.h:

line 933:
        if (dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH)
                urb->interval = 1 << (interval - 1);
        else
                urb->interval = interval;

This means, that if the endpoint descriptor (of a high speed device)
specifies e.g. bInterval = 7, the urb->interval gets the value:

hid-core.c: interval = 1 << (7-1) = 0x40 = 64
urb->interval = 1 << (interval -1) = 1 << (63) = integer overflow

Because of this the value of urb->interval is sometimes negative and is
rejected in core/urb.c:
line 353:
                /* too small? */
                if (urb->interval <= 0)
                        return -EINVAL;

The conclusion is, that the recalculaton of the interval (which is
necessary for highspeed) should not be made twice, because this is
simply wrong. ;-)

Re-calculation in usb_fill_int_urb makes more sense, because it is the
most general approach. So it would make sense to remove it from
hid-core.c.

Because in hid-core.c the interval variable is only used for calling
usb_fill_int_urb, it is no problem to remove the highspeed
re-calculation in this file.

Increased use of scatter-gather by usb-storage driver after 2.6.13 has

URB_SHORT_NOT_OK was set AND short transfer occurred.

The fix attached was tested in 2 ways: (a) it fixed failing
initialization of a flash drive with an embedded hub; (b) the fix was
tested with 'usbtest' against a modified g_zero driver (on top of
net2280), which generated short bulk IN transfers of various lengths
including multiples and non-multiples of max_packet_length.

2cc78eb52b Increase default RCU batching sharply
Dipankar made RCU limit the batch size to improve latency, but that
approach is unworkable: it can cause the RCU queues to grow without
bounds, since the batch limiter ended up limiting the callbacks.

So make the limit much higher, and start planning on instead limiting
the batch size by doing RCU callbacks more often if the queue looks like
it might be growing too long.

some circumstances.  Reason is that in the PCI controller driver (zr36067),
after setting input, we reset norm, which overwrites the input register
with the default.  This patch makes it always set the correct value for the
input when changing norm.

9b3acc21d7 [PATCH] fix vpx3220 offset issue in SECAM
Fix bug #5404 in kernel bugzilla.

It basically updates the vpx3220 initialization tables with some newer
values that we've had in CVS for a while (and that, for some reason, never
ended up in the kernel...  must've gotten lost).  Those fix a ~16 pixels
noise at the top of the picture in at least SECAM, although (now that I
think about it) PAL was probably affected, also.

0aec4867dc [PATCH] SVGATextMode fix
Fix bug 5441.

I didn't know about messy programs like svgatextmode...  Couldn't this be
integrated in some linux/drivers/video/console/svgacon.c ?...  So because
of the existence of the svgatextmode program, the kernel is not supposed to
touch to CRT_OVERFLOW/SYNC_END/DISP/DISP_END/OFFSET ?

Disabling the check in vgacon_resize() might help indeed, but I'm really
not sure whether it will work for any chipset: in my patch, CRT registers
are set at each console switch, since stty rows/cols apply to consoles
separately...

The attached solution is to keep the test, but if it fails, we assume that
the caller knows what it does (i.e.  it is svgatextmode) and then disable
any further call to vgacon_doresize.  Svgatextmode is usually used to
_expand_ the display, not to shrink it.  And it is harmless in the case of
a too big stty rows/cols: the display will just be cropped.  I tested it on
my laptop, and it works fine with svgatextmode.

A better solution would be that svgatextmode explicitely tells the kernel
not to care about video timing, but for this an interface needs be defined
and svgatextmode be patched.

b24d18aa74 [PATCH] list: add missing rcu_dereference on first element
It seems that all the list_*_rcu primitives are missing a memory barrier
on the very first dereference.  For example,

#define list_for_each_rcu(pos, head) \
	for (pos = (head)->next; prefetch(pos->next), pos != (head); \
		pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next))

It will go something like:

	pos = (head)->next

	prefetch(pos->next)

	pos != (head)

	do stuff

We're missing a barrier here.

	pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next)

		fetch pos->next

		barrier given by rcu_dereference(pos->next)

		store pos

Without the missing barrier, the pos->next value may turn out to be stale.
In fact, if "do stuff" were also dereferencing pos and relying on
list_for_each_rcu to provide the barrier then it may also break.

So here is a patch to make sure that we have a barrier for the first
element in the list.

The merge-tree version of LOADBASE actually loads the whole given
address from the toc for ppc64.  The matching OFF macro adjust for
this, using an offset of 0 for ppc64, but we weren't using that in
power4_idle.
