This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks. This
avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks
about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers.
AMD recently discovered that on some hardware, there is a race condition
possible when a C-state change request goes onto the bus at the same
time as a P-state change request.
Both requests happen, but the southbridge hardware only acknowledges the
C-state change. The PowerNow! driver is then stuck in a loop, waiting
for the P-state change acknowledgement. The driver eventually times
out, but can no longer perform P-state changes.
It turns out the solution is to resend the P-state change, which the
southbridge will acknowledge normally.

The code calls __hash_page() passing it an "access" parameter (the type
of access that triggers the hash) containing the bits _PAGE_RW and
_PAGE_USER of the linux PTE. The latter is useless in this case and the
former is wrong. In fact, if we have a writeable PTE and we pass
_PAGE_RW to hash_page(), it will set _PAGE_DIRTY (since we track dirty
that way, by hash faulting !dirty) which is not what we want.
In fact, the correct fix is to always pass 0. That means that only
read-only or already dirty read write PTEs will be preloaded. The
(hopefully rare) case of a non dirty read write PTE can't be preloaded
this way, it will have to fault in hash_page on the actual access.

[PATCH] Three one-liners in md.c
The main problem fixes is that in certain situations stopping md arrays may
take longer than you expect, or may require multiple attempts. This would
only happen when resync/recovery is happening.
This patch fixes three vaguely related bugs.
1/ The recent change to use kthreads got the setting of the
process name wrong. This fixes it.
2/ The recent change to use kthreads lost the ability for
md threads to be signalled with SIG_KILL. This restores that.
3/ There is a long standing bug in that if:
- An array needs recovery (onto a hot-spare) and
- The recovery is being blocked because some other array being
recovered shares a physical device and
- The recovery thread is killed with SIG_KILL
Then the recovery will appear to have completed with no IO being
done, which can cause data corruption.
This patch makes sure that incomplete recovery will be treated as
incomplete.
Note that any kernel affected by bug 2 will not suffer the problem of bug
3, as the signal can never be delivered. Thus the current 2.6.14-rc
kernels are not susceptible to data corruption. Note also that if arrays
are shutdown (with "mdadm -S" or "raidstop") then the problem doesn't
occur. It only happens if a SIGKILL is independently delivered as done by
'init' when shutting down.

[PATCH] raw1394: fix locking in the presence of SMP and interrupts
Changes all spinlocks that can be held during an irq handler to disable
interrupts while the lock is held. Changes spin_[un]lock_irq to use the
irqsave/irqrestore variants for robustness and readability.
In raw1394.c:handle_iso_listen(), don't grab host_info_lock at all -- we're
not accessing host_info_list or host_count, and holding this lock while
trying to tasklet_kill the iso tasklet this can cause an ABBA deadlock if
ohci:dma_rcv_tasklet is running and tries to grab host_info_lock in
raw1394.c:receive_iso. Test program attached reliably deadlocks all SMP
machines I have been able to test without this patch.

[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.

[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).

[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.
