[PATCH] fix klist semantics for lists which have elements removed on traversal
The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of
lists which are being modified. The failure case is when traversal of a
list causes element removal (a fairly common case). The issue is that
although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which
is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the
klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers
to the prior element to get the next.
The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the
embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until
the list relinquishes the reference to it.
(akpm: fast-track this because it's needed for the 2.6.13 scsi merge)

When pivot_root is called from an init script in an initramfs environment,

The cause of this is that pivot_root() is not prepared to handle pivoting

another CPU hits that probepoint, kprobe_handler() on the latter CPU sees

we were neglecting to set the IP back to the beginning of the probed

This patch addresses a potential race condition for a case where Kprobe has

The way this is addressed here is when the CPU that has taken a break hit
does not find its corresponding kprobe, then we check to see if the
original instruction got replaced with other than break. If it got
replaced with other than break instruction, then we continue to execute
from the replaced instruction, else if we find that it is still a break,
then we let the kernel handle this, as this might be the break instruction
inserted by other than kprobe(may be kernel debugger).

[PATCH] Kprobes: prevent possible race conditions generic
There are possible race conditions if probes are placed on routines within the
kprobes files and routines used by the kprobes. For example if you put probe
on get_kprobe() routines, the system can hang while inserting probes on any
routine such as do_fork(). Because while inserting probes on do_fork(),
register_kprobes() routine grabs the kprobes spin lock and executes
get_kprobe() routine and to handle probe of get_kprobe(), kprobes_handler()
gets executed and tries to grab kprobes spin lock, and spins forever. This
patch avoids such possible race conditions by preventing probes on routines
within the kprobes file and routines used by kprobes.
I have modified the patches as per Andi Kleen's suggestion to move kprobes
routines and other routines used by kprobes to a seperate section
.kprobes.text.
Also moved page fault and exception handlers, general protection fault to
.kprobes.text section.

It seems that kjournald() may be missing a check of the JFS_UNMOUNT flag
before calling schedule(). This showed up in testing of OCFS2 recovery
where our recovery thread would hang in journal_kill_thread() called from
journal_destroy() because kjournald never got a chance to read the flag to
shut down before the schedule().
Zach pointed out the missing check which led me to hack up this trivial

hang, which was happening very regularly before.

I'm guessing that we could really use some wait_event() calls with helper
functions in, well, most of jbd these days which would make a ton of the
wait code there vastly cleaner.
</mild rant>
As for why this doesn't happen in ext3 (or OCFS2 during normal
mount/unmount of the local nodes journal), I think it may that the specific
timing of events in the ocfs2 recovery thread exposes a race there.
Because ocfs2_replay_journal() is only interested in playing back the
journal, initialization and shutdown happen very quicky with no other
metadata put into that specific journal.

[PATCH] sd: initialize SD cards
Support for the Secure Digital protocol in the MMC layer.
A summary of the legal issues surrounding SD cards, as understood by yours
truly:
Members of the Secure Digital Association, hereafter SDA, are required to sign
a NDA[1] before given access to any specifications. It has been speculated
that including an SD implementation would forbid these members to redistribute
Linux. This is the basic problem with SD support so it is unclear if it even
is a problem since it has no effect on those of us that aren't members.
The SDA doesn't seem to enforce these rules though since the patches included
here are based on documentation made public by some of the members. The most
complete specs[2] are actually released by Sandisk, one of the founding
companies of the SDA.
Because of this the NDA is considered a non-issue by most involved in the
discussions concerning these patches. It might be that the SDA is only
interested in protecting the so called "secure" bits of SD, which so far
hasn't been found in any public spec. (The card is split into two sections,
one "normal" and one "secure" which has an access scheme similar to TPM:s).
(As a side note, Microsoft is working to make things easier for us since they
want to be able to include the source code for a SD driver in one of their
development kits. HP is making sure that the new NDA will allow a Linux
implementation. So far only the SDIO specs have been opened up[3]. More will
hopefully follow.)
This patch contains the central parts of the SD support. If no MMC cards are
found on a bus then the MMC layer proceeds looking for SD cards. Helper
functions are extended to handle the special needs of SD cards.
