and I have been able to very by inspection they are possible.
When converting tty_io.c to store pids as struct pid pointers instead
of pid_t values it appears I overlooked two places where we stop using
the pid value. The very obvious one is in do_tty_hangup, and the one
the less obvious one in __proc_set_tty.
When looking into the code __proc_set_tty only has pids that need to
be put because of failures of other parts of the code to properly
perform hangup processing. Fixing the leak here in __proc_set_tty
is easy and obviously correct so I am doing that first.
Fixing the places that should be performing hangup processing is much
less obviously correct. So those I'm aiming those patches at -mm.

[PATCH] i386: trust the PM-Timer calibration of the local APIC timer
When PM-Timer is available for local APIC timer calibration we can skip the
verification of the calibrated time value. The resulting error is quite
small on a bunch of evaluated platforms and is less harming than the
observed false positives.
We need to keep the verification on systems, which have no PM-Timer to
avoid bogus local APIC timer calibrations in the range of factor 2-10,
which can be observed when swicthing off the PM-timer support in the kernel
configuration.
The wrong calibration values are probably caused by SMM code trying to
emulate a PS/2 keyboard from a (maybe connected or not) USB keyboard. This
prohibits the accurate delivery of PIT interrupts, which are used to
calibrate the local APIC timer. Unfortunately we have no way to disable
this BIOS misfeature in the early boot process.
Add also the dropped cpu_relax() back to the wait loops.

When the guest writes to a pte or pde, we intercept the write and emulate it.
We also remove any shadowed mappings corresponding to the write. Since the

ide: don't allow DMA to be enabled if CONFIG_IDEDMA_{ICS,PCI}_AUTO=n
For CONFIG_IDEDMA_{ICS,PCI}_AUTO=n and/or "ide=nodma" option the host/device
are not programmed for DMA and it is also explicitly disabled by ide_set_dma()
(->ide_dma_check returns "-1"). However the code responsible for manually
enabling DMA ("hdparm -d 1") has a bug which results in DMA being erroneously
enabled - ide_set_dma() incorrectly passes "0" return value to set_using_dma().
This may work if BIOS/firmware configured the host/device for DMA and chipset
allows independent configuration of DMA/PIO modes but won't work after suspend
and is generally unsafe on many chipsets (possibly including data corruption
if the same registers are used for DMA/PIO timings).
This patch fixes kernel bugzilla bug #8169 (piix host driver fixes for
setting PIO mode exposed the problem described above). The side-effect of
the fix is that some rare configuration may be forced to PIO mode when DMA
mode was previously used - this is addressed by the next patch which removes
CONFIG_IDEDMA_{PCI,ICS}_AUTO config option completely.

[PATCH] clockevents: Fix suspend/resume to disk hangs
I finally found a dual core box, which survives suspend/resume without

The observed hangs are caused by a stale state transition of the clock
event devices, which keeps the RCU synchronization away from completion,
when the non boot CPU is brought back up.
The suspend/resume in oneshot mode needs the similar care as the
periodic mode during suspend to RAM. My assumption that the state
transitions during the different shutdown/bringups of s2disk would go
through the periodic boot phase and then switch over to highres resp.
nohz mode were simply wrong.

[PATCH] fix process crash caused by randomisation and 64k pages
This bug was seen on ppc64, but it could have occurred on any
architecture with a page size of 64k or above. The problem is that in
fs/binfmt_elf.c:randomize_stack_top() randomizes the stack to within
0x7ff pages. On 4k page machines, this is 8MB; on 64k page boxes, this
is 128MB.
The problem is that the new binary layout (selected in
arch_pick_mmap_layout) places the mapping segment 128MB or the stack
rlimit away from the top of the process memory, whichever is larger. If
you chose an rlimit of less than 128MB (most defaults are in the 8Mb
range) then you can end up having your entire stack randomized away.
The fix is to make randomize_stack_top() only steal at most 8MB, which this
patch does. However, I have to point out that even with this, your stack
rlimit might not be exactly what you get if it's > 128MB, because you're
still losing the random offset of up to 8MB.
The true fix should be to leave an explicit gap for the randomization plus
a buffer when determining mmap_base, but that would involve fixing all the
architectures.

[PATCH] gpio_direction_output() needs an initial value
It's been pointed out that output GPIOs should have an initial value, to
avoid signal glitching ... among other things, it can be some time before
a driver is ready. This patch corrects that oversight, fixing
- documentation
- platforms supporting the GPIO interface
- users of that call (just one for now, others are pending)
There's only one user of this call for now since most platforms are still
using non-generic GPIO setup code, which in most cases already couples the
initial value with its "set output mode" request.
Note that most platforms are clear about the hardware letting the output
value be set before the pin direction is changed, but the s3c241x docs are
vague on that topic ... so those chips might not avoid the glitches.

[PATCH] spi: destroy workqueue after spi_unregister_master
Fix a bug in the cleanup of an spi_bitbang bus.
The workqueue associated with the bus was destroyed before the call to
spi_unregister_master. That meant that spi devices on that bus would be
unable to do IO in their remove method. The shutdown flag should have been
able to prevent a segfault, but was never getting set. By waiting to
destroy the workqueue until after the master is unregistered, devices are
able to do IO in their remove methods. An added benefit is that neither
the shutdown flag nor a wait for the queue of messages to empty is needed.

[PATCH] dio: invalidate clean pages before dio write
This patch fixes a user-triggerable oops that was reported by Leonid
Ananiev as archived at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/8/337.
dio writes invalidate clean pages that intersect the written region so that
subsequent buffered reads go to disk to read the new data. If this fails
the interface tries to tell the caller that the cache is inconsistent by
returning EIO.
Before this patch we had the problem where this invalidation failure would
clobber -EIOCBQUEUED as it made its way from fs/direct-io.c to fs/aio.c.
Both fs/aio.c and bio completion call aio_complete() and we reference freed
memory, usually oopsing.
This patch addresses this problem by invalidating before the write so that
we can cleanly return -EIO before ->direct_IO() has had a chance to return
-EIOCBQUEUED.
There is a compromise here. During the dio write we can fault in mmap()ed
pages which intersect the written range with get_user_pages() if the user
provided them for the source buffer. This is a crazy thing to do, but we
can make it mostly work in most cases by trying the invalidation again.
The compromise is that we won't return an error if this second invalidation
fails if it's an AIO write and we have -EIOCBQUEUED.
This was tested by having two processes race performing large O_DIRECT and
buffered ordered writes. Within minutes ext3 would see a race between
ext3_releasepage() and jbd holding a reference on ordered data buffers and
would cause invalidation to fail, panicing the box. The test can be found
in the 'aio_dio_bugs' test group in test.kernel.org/autotest. After this
patch the test passes.

Because of if file big enough(BIG_OFFSET) we start allocate space by block,
ordinary block size > page size, so we should zeroize the rest of block in

garbage, when we extend file.
Also patch corrects conversion from pointer to block to physical block number,
this helps in case of not common used UFS types.
[PATCH] ufs: prepare write + change blocks on the fly
This fixes "change blocks numbers on the fly" in case when "prepare

uptodate and not mapped, we should care to map them and load from disk.
This patch was tested with:
- ufs regressions simple tests
- fsx-linux
- ltp(20060306)
- untar and build kernel
1) According to UFS2 disk layout modification/access and so on "time"
should be hold in two variables one 64bit for seconds and another 32bit for
nanoseconds,
at now for some unknown reason we suppose that "inode time" holds in
three variables 32bit for seconds, 32bit for milliseconds and 32bit for
nanoseconds.
2) We set amount of nanoseconds in "VFS inode" to 0 during read, instead of
getting values from "on disk inode"(this should close
