[IA64] Simulator bootloader fails with gcc 4
After building a fresh tree with gcc 4 I can't boot the simulator as
the bootloader loader dies with
loading /home/ianw/kerntest/kerncomp//build/sim_defconfig/vmlinux...
failed to read phdr
After some investigation I believe this is do with differences between
the alignment of variables on the stack between gcc 3 and 4 and the
ski simulator. If you trace through with the simulator you can see
that the disk_stat structure value returned from the SSC_WAIT_COMPLETION
call seems to be only half loaded. I guess it doesn't like the alignment
of the input.

Ingo, this patch also works with your kernel, and stops the problem with

3) We send the current sk_send_head which needs to be fragmented

[PATCH] NFS: Ensure we always update inode->i_mode when doing O_EXCL creates
When the client performs an exclusive create and opens the file for writing,
a Netapp filer will first create the file using the mode 01777. It does this
since an NFSv3/v4 exclusive create cannot immediately set the mode bits.
The 01777 mode then gets put into the inode->i_mode. After the file creation
is successful, we then do a setattr to change the mode to the correct value
(as per the NFS spec).
The problem is that nfs_refresh_inode() no longer updates inode->i_mode, so
the latter retains the 01777 mode. A bit later, the VFS notices this, and calls
remove_suid(). This of course now resets the file mode to inode->i_mode & 0777.
Hey presto, the file mode on the server is now magically changed to 0777. Duh...

[PATCH] intelfb/fbdev: Save info->flags in a local variable
Reported by: Pavel Kysilka (Bugzilla Bug 5059)
The intelfb driver does not keep resolution set with fbset after
switching to anot console and back.
Steps to reproduce:
initial options: tty1,tty2 - 1024x768-60
1) tty1 - fbset after booting (1024x768-60)
2) tty1 - fbset 800x600-100
tty1: 800x600-100
3) swith to tty2, swith to tty1
tty1: 1024x768-60 (the same resolution as default from kernel booting)
This bug is caused by intelfb unintentionally destroying info->flags in
set_par(). Therefore the flag, FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT used to notify
fbcon of a mode change was cleared causing the above problem. This bug
though is not intelfb specific, as other drivers may also be affected.
The fix is to save info->flags in a local variable before calling any
of the driver hooks. A more definitive fix (for post 2.6.13) is to
separate info->flags into one that is set by the driver and another that
is set by core fbdev/fbcon.

[TCP]: Adjust {p,f}ackets_out correctly in tcp_retransmit_skb()
Well I've only found one potential cause for the assertion
failure in tcp_mark_head_lost. First of all, this can only
occur if cnt > 1 since tp->packets_out is never zero here.
If it did hit zero we'd have much bigger problems.
So cnt is equal to fackets_out - reordering. Normally
fackets_out is less than packets_out. The only reason
I've found that might cause fackets_out to exceed packets_out
is if tcp_fragment is called from tcp_retransmit_skb with a
TSO skb and the current MSS is greater than the MSS stored
in the TSO skb. This might occur as the result of an expiring
dst entry.
In that case, packets_out may decrease (line 1380-1381 in
tcp_output.c). However, fackets_out is unchanged which means
that it may in fact exceed packets_out.
Previously tcp_retrans_try_collapse was the only place where
packets_out can go down and it takes care of this by decrementing
fackets_out.
So we should make sure that fackets_out is reduced by an appropriate
amount here as well.
