[PATCH] v4l: (935) Moved common IR stuff to ir-common.c
- The pinnacle handler & remote are common to saa7134 PCI boards and em28xx
USB boards, so the keymap was moved to ir-common and the keyhandler is back
to ir-kbd-i2c
- request_module("ir-kbd-i2c") is no longer necessary at saa7134-core since
saa7134.ko now depends on ir-kbd-i2c.ko to get the keyhandler

[PATCH] aio: remove kioctx from mm_struct
Sync iocbs have a life cycle that don't need a kioctx. Their retrying, if
any, is done in the context of their owner who has allocated them on the
stack.
The sole user of a sync iocb's ctx reference was aio_complete() checking for
an elevated iocb ref count that could never happen. No path which grabs an
iocb ref has access to sync iocbs.
If we were to implement sync iocb cancelation it would be done by the owner of
the iocb using its on-stack reference.
Removing this chunk from aio_complete allows us to remove the entire kioctx
instance from mm_struct, reducing its size by a third. On a i386 testing box
the slab size went from 768 to 504 bytes and from 5 to 8 per page.

[PATCH] stop_machine() vs. synchronous IPI send deadlock
This fixes deadlock of stop_machine() vs. synchronous IPI send. The
problem is that stop_machine() disables interrupts before disabling

something like flush_tlb_all() it will deadlock with CPU doing
stop_machine() and which can't process IPI due to disabled IRQs.
I changed stop_machine() to do the same things exactly as it does on other

The access_ok_tt() macro is bogus, in that a read access is unconditionally
considered valid.
I couldn't find in SCM logs the introduction of this check, but I went back to
2.4.20-1um and the definition was the same.
Possibly this was done to avoid problems with missing set_fs() calls, but
there can't be any I think because they would fail with SKAS mode.
TT-specific code is still to check.
Also, this patch joins common code together, and makes the "address range
wrapping" check happen for all cases, rather than for only some.
This may, possibly, be reoptimized at some time, but the current code doesn't
seem clever, just confused.
* Important: I've also had to change references to access_ok_{tt,skas} back to
access_ok - the kernel wasn't that happy otherwise.

printk clears the host errno (I verified this in debugging and it's reasonable
enough, given that it ends via a write call on some fd, especially since
printk() goes on /dev/tty0 which is often the host stdout). So save errno
earlier. There's no reason to change the printk calls to use -err rather than
errno - the assignment can't clear errno.
And in the first failure path, we used to return 0 too (and this time more
clearly), which is totally wrong. 0 is a success fd, which is then registered
and gives a "registering fd twice" warning.

[PATCH] uml: remove bogus WARN_ON, triggerable harmlessly on a page fault race
The below warning was added in place of pte_mkyoung(); if (is_write)
pte_mkdirty();
In fact, if the PTE is not marked young/dirty, our dirty/accessed bit
emulation would cause the TLB permission not to be changed, and so we'd loop,
and given we don't support preemption yet, we'd busy-hang here.
However, I've seen this warning trigger without crashes during a loop of
concurrent kernel builds, at random times (i.e. like a race condition), and I
realized that two concurrent faults on the same page, one on read and one on
write, can trigger it. The read fault gets serviced and the PTE gets marked
writable but clean (it's possible on a shared-writable mapping), while the
generic code sees the PTE was already installed and returns without action. In
this case, we'll see another fault and service it normally.

The cpu_khz global is not initialized and remains 0 if you boot with
clock=pit, even if the processor does have a TSC. This may have bad
ramifications since the variable is used in various places scattered around
the kernel, though I didn't check them all to see if they can tolerate cpu_khz
= 0. You can observe the problem by doing "cat /proc/cpuinfo"; the cpu MHz
line says 0.000.
The fix is trivial; call init_cpu_khz() from init_pit(), just as it's called
from the timers/timer_foo.c:init_foo() for other values of foo.

[PATCH] reorder struct files_struct
The file_lock spinlock sits close to mostly read fields of 'struct
files_struct'
In SMP (and NUMA) environments, each time a thread wants to open or close
a file, it has to acquire the spinlock, thus invalidating the cache line
containing this spinlock on other CPUS. So other threads doing
read()/write()/... calls that use RCU to access the file table are going
to ask further memory (possibly NUMA) transactions to read again this
memory line.
Move the spinlock to another cache line, so that concurrent threads can
share the cache line containing 'count' and 'fdt' fields.
It's worth up to 9% on a microbenchmark using a 4-thread 2-package x86
machine. See

[PATCH] VFS: Fix memory leak with file leases
The patch
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/diffs/fs/locks.c@1.70??nav=index.html
introduced a pretty nasty memory leak in the lease code. When freeing
the lease, the code in locks_delete_lock() will correctly clean up
the fasync queue, but when we return to fcntl_setlease(), the freed
fasync entry will be reinstated.
This patch ensures that we skip the call to fasync_helper() when we're
freeing up the lease.

Some devices (e.g. Qlogic iSCSI HBA hardware like QLA4010 up to firmware

The Linux TCP/IP stack deals fine with that, but the connection tracking

This remove the last per-arch compat ioctl bits in

if this actually copiles and works and if yes apply it :)

We had similar problems with other ioctls where userspace did things
like that. What we did there was to put the compat handler to generic
code. The patch below does that, adding a big comment about what's
going on and removing the COMPAT_IOCTL entires for these on powerpc
that not only weren't ever useful but are duplicated now aswell.

With generic dispatch queue update, implicit former/latter request
handling using rq->queuelist.prev/next doesn't work as expected
anymore. Also, the only iosched dependent on this feature was
noop-iosched and it has been reimplemented to have its own
latter/former methods. This patch removes implicit former/latter

This patch reimplements noop-iosched such that it complies to generic
iosched model better. Request merging with q->last_merge and
