[PATCH] IB: allow NULL sa_query callbacks
Check if a client passes a NULL callback into an SA query, and if so, never
call back. This fixes an oops if someone unloads ib_ipoib and ib_sa in
rapid succession. ib_ipoib does an MCMember delete with a NULL callback
and 0 timeout on unload, which is usually fine since the delete completes
successfully. However, if ib_sa is unloaded immediately afterwards, the
delete will be canceled and ib_sa will try to call the (now already
unloaded) ib_ipoib module back with the cancel completion, which triggers
the oops.

[PATCH] fix for __generic_file_aio_read() to return 0 on EOF
I came across the following problem while running ltp-aiodio testcases from
ltp-full-20050405 on linux-2.6.12-rc3-mm3. I tried running the tests with
EXT3 as well as JFS filesystems.
One or two fsx-linux testcases were hung after some time. These testcases
were hanging at wait_for_all_aios().
Debugging shows that there were some iocbs which were not getting completed
eventhough the last retry for those returned -EIOCBQUEUED. Also all such
pending iocbs represented READ operation.
Further debugging revealed that all such iocbs hit EOF in the DIO layer.
To be more precise, the "pos" from which they were trying to read was
greater than the "size" of the file. So the generic_file_direct_IO
returned 0.
This happens rarely as there is already a check in
__generic_file_aio_read(), for whether "pos" < "size" before calling direct
IO routine.
But for READ, we are taking the inode->i_sem only in the DIO layer. So it
is possible that some other process can change the size of the file before
we take the i_sem. In such a case ( when "pos" > "size"), the
__generic_file_aio_read() would return -EIOCBQUEUED even though there were
no I/O requests submitted by the DIO layer. This would cause the AIO layer
to expect aio_complete() for THE iocb, which doesnot happen. And thus the
test hangs forever, waiting for an I/O completion, where there are no
requests submitted at all.
The following patch makes __generic_file_aio_read() return 0 (instead of
returning -EIOCBQUEUED), on getting 0 from generic_file_direct_IO(), so
that the AIO layer does the aio_complete().
Testing:
I have tested the patch on a SMP machine(with 2 Pentium 4 (HT)) running
linux-2.6.12-rc3-mm3. I ran the ltp-aiodio testcases and none of the
fsx-linux tests hung. Also the aio-stress tests ran without any problem.

[PATCH] cpusets+hotplug+preepmt broken
This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No
more Mr. Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu().
Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take
the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to
update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for
the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So
we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed.
This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch.
And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match.
The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar
Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore
much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking
entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is
not worth doing in this case.

There are more possible improvements in this area. In fact,
PCI streaming buffer flushing seems to be part of the bottleneck
in network receive performance on my SunBlade1000 box.

[PATCH] ppx32: Fix uninitialized variable in set_preferred_console
This fixes an uninitialized variable warning in arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c,
and this time gcc is actually right, there is a path that could result
in offset being uninitialized. Zero is a sane default in this instance.

[PATCH] ppc32: Fix __copy_tofrom_user return value
Recently the __copy_tofrom_user routine was modified to avoid doing
prefetches past the end of the source array. However, in doing so we
introduced a bug in that it now returns the wrong value for the number
of bytes not copied when a fault is encountered. This fixes it to
return the correct number.

[PATCH] ppc32: don't call progress functions after boot
On ppc32, the platform code can supply a "progress" function that is
used to show progress through the boot. These functions are usually
in an init section and so can't be called after the init pages are
freed. Now that the cpu bringup code can be called after the system
is booted (for hotplug cpu) we can get the situation where the
progress function can be called after boot. The simple fix is to set
the progress function pointer to NULL when the init pages are freed,
and that is what this patch does (note that all callers already check
whether the function pointer is NULL before trying to call it).

Fix get_unmapped_area sanity tests
As noted by Chris Wright, we need to do the full range of tests regardless
of whether MAP_FIXED is set or not, so re-organize get_unmapped_area()
slightly to do the sanity checks unconditionally.
In netlink_broadcast() we're sending shared skb's to netlink listeners
when possible (saves some copying). This is OK, since we hold the only
other reference to the skb.
However, this implies that we must drop our reference on the skb, before
allowing a receiving socket to disappear. Otherwise, the socket buffer
accounting is disrupted.

[NETLINK]: Move broadcast skb_orphan to the skb_get path.
Cloned packets don't need the orphan call.

assertion (!atomic_read(&sk->sk_rmem_alloc)) failed at net/netlink/af_netlink.c (122)
What's happening is that:
1) The skb is sent to socket 1.
2) Someone does a recvmsg on socket 1 and drops the ref on the skb.
Note that the rmalloc is not returned at this point since the
skb is still referenced.
3) The same skb is now sent to socket 2.
This version of the fix resurrects the skb_orphan call that was moved
out, last time we had 'shared-skb troubles'. It is practically a no-op
in the common case, but still prevents the possible race with recvmsg.

[IPSEC]: Fixed alg_key_len usage in attach_one_algo
The variable alg_key_len is in bits and not bytes. The function
attach_one_algo is currently using it as if it were in bytes.
This causes it to read memory which may not be there.
