[PATCH] nfsd: fix spurious error return from nfsd_create in async case
Commit 6264d69d7df654ca64f625e9409189a0e50734e9 modified the nfsd_create()
error handling in such a way that nfsd_create will usually return
nfserr_perm even when succesful, if the export has the async export option.
This introduced a regression that could cause mkdir() to always return a
permissions error, even though the directory in question was actually
succesfully created.

[PATCH] htirq: allow buggy drivers of buggy hardware to write the registers
This patch adds a variant of ht_create_irq __ht_create_irq that takes an
aditional parameter update that is a function that is called whenever we want

This is needed to support the ipath_iba6110 because it's registers in the

The basic issue is that despite have been deprecated and warned about as a
very bad thing in the man pages since its inception there are a few real
users of sys_sysctl. It was my assumption that because sysctl had been
deprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point,
so I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period.
Now that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed
with deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and
work with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to
find these last remaining users.
Which means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the
meantime.
Since I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl
entries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to
fix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is
no longer a need to change the binary interface at all.
Since the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and
the worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break
the ABI have been addressed I don't see any advantage in continuing with
the removal of sys_sysctl.
So instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes
the deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code
in by default.
With committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a
fast interface for anything that needs it. Currently sys_sysctl is about
5x faster than /proc/sys, for the same string data.

behave as though no device was found. It already returns NULL, but there is a

The bug was introduced by dm-fix-mapped-device-ref-counting.patch.

[PATCH] sysctl: allow a zero ctl_name in the middle of a sysctl table
Since it is becoming clear that there are just enough users of the binary
sysctl interface that completely removing the binary interface from the kernel
will not be an option for foreseeable future, we need to find a way to address
the sysctl maintenance issues.
The basic problem is that sysctl requires one central authority to allocate
sysctl numbers, or else conflicts and ABI breakage occur. The proc interface
to sysctl does not have that problem, as names are not densely allocated.
By not terminating a sysctl table until I have neither a ctl_name nor a
procname, it becomes simple to add sysctl entries that don't show up in the
binary sysctl interface. Which allows people to avoid allocating a binary
sysctl value when not needed.
I have audited the kernel code and in my reading I have not found a single
sysctl table that wasn't terminated by a completely zero filled entry. So
this change in behavior should not affect anything.
I think this mechanism eases the pain enough that combined with a little
disciple we can solve the reoccurring sysctl ABI breakage.

is the only function calling shrink_page_list().
[PATCH] Fix the spurious unlock_cpu_hotplug false warnings
Cpu-hotplug locking has a minor race case caused because of setting the
variable "recursive" to NULL *after* releasing the cpu_bitmask_lock in the
function unlock_cpu_hotplug,instead of doing so before releasing the
cpu_bitmask_lock.
This was the cause of most of the recent false spurious lock_cpu_unlock
warnings.
This should fix the problem reported by Martin Lorenz reported in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/29/127.
Thanks to Srinivasa DS for pointing it out.

AVR32: Fix thinko in generic_find_next_zero_le_bit()
The existing implementation of this function seems to be looking for
a one although it should be looking for a zero. This causes trouble
for the ext2 filesystem, which tends to report -ENOSPC without this
patch.
Fix this by complementing each word before scanning.
board_early_init() is left over from some early prototyping work
where we had to initialize the SDRAM controller ourselves. This
depends on the kernel being loaded into static RAM, which just
isn't possible on any commercially available products today.
In order to run without a boot loader, we need to create a zImage
stub or have the debugger initialize the SDRAM for us (for really
low-level debugging)

[SPARC]: Fix robust futex syscalls and wire up migrate_pages.
When I added the entries for the robust futex syscall entries, I
forgot to bump NR_SYSCALLS. The current situation is error-prone
because NR_SYSCALLS lives in entry.S where the system call limit
checks are enforced. Move the definition to asm/unistd.h in order to
make this mistake much more difficult to make.
And wire up sys_migrate_pages since the powerpc folks implemented the
compat wrapper for us.

It looks like I was stupid and made NetLabel depend on CONFIG_NET and not
CONFIG_INET, the patch below should fix this by making NetLabel depend on
CONFIG_INET and CONFIG_SECURITY. Please review and apply for 2.6.19.

[IPV6]: Give sit driver an appropriate module alias.
It would be nice to keep things working even with this built as a
module, it took me some time to realize my IPv6 tunnel was broken
because of the missing sit module. This module alias fixes things
until distributions have added an appropriate alias to modprobe.conf.

[NET]: __alloc_pages() failures reported due to fragmentation
We have seen a couple of __alloc_pages() failures due to
fragmentation, there is plenty of free memory but no large order pages
available. I think the problem is in sock_alloc_send_pskb(), the
gfp_mask includes __GFP_REPEAT but its never used/passed to the page
allocator. Shouldnt the gfp_mask be passed to alloc_skb() ?
