Thinking it was a bug in something I did and I looked deeper. Eventually
I setup a second route and everything looked correct, huh? Finally I
realized that the it was just the iterator pair in fib_trie_get_first,
fib_trie_get_next just could not handle a routing table with a single entry.
So to save myself and others further confusion, here is a simple fix for

When a command is pending on the port, force the flag on always in the

On most architectures it doesn't really matter since we don't have
any tables with names that long in the kernel and the structure
layout didn't change because of alignment requirements of following
members. On CRIS however (and other architectures that don't align
data) this changed the structure layout and thus broke compatibility

Changing it back will break compatibility with binaries compiled

I encountered a kernel panic with my test program, which is a very
simple IPv6 client-server program.
The server side sets IPV6_RECVPKTINFO on a listening socket, and the
client side just sends a message to the server. Then the kernel panic
occurs on the server. (If you need the test program, please let me
know. I can provide it.)
This problem happens because a skb is forcibly freed in
tcp_rcv_state_process().
When a socket in listening state(TCP_LISTEN) receives a syn packet,
then tcp_v6_conn_request() will be called from
tcp_rcv_state_process(). If the tcp_v6_conn_request() successfully
returns, the skb would be discarded by __kfree_skb().
However, in case of a listening socket which was already set
IPV6_RECVPKTINFO, an address of the skb will be stored in
treq->pktopts and a ref count of the skb will be incremented in
tcp_v6_conn_request(). But, even if the skb is still in use, the skb
will be freed. Then someone still using the freed skb will cause the
kernel panic.
I suggest to use kfree_skb() instead of __kfree_skb().

[PATCH] elevator: move clearing of unplug flag earlier
A flag was recently added to the elevator code to avoid
performing an unplug when reuests are being re-queued.
The goal of this flag was to avoid a deep recursion that
can occur when re-queueing requests after a SCSI device/host
reset. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/17/254
However, that fix added the flag near the bottom of a case
statement, where an earlier break (in an if statement) could
transport one out of the case, without setting the flag.
This patch sets the flag earlier in the case statement.
I re-discovered the deep recursion recently during testing;
I was told that it was a known problem, and the fix to it was
in the kernel I was testing. Indeed it was ... but it didn't
fix the bug. With the patch below, I no longer see the bug.

[MIPS] SMTC: Instant IPI replay.
SMTC pseudo-interrupts between TCs are deferred and queued if the target
TC is interrupt-inhibited (IXMT). In the first SMTC prototypes, these
queued IPIs were serviced on return to user mode, or on entry into the
kernel idle loop. The INSTANT_REPLAY option dispatches them as part of
local_irq_restore() processing, which adds runtime overhead (hence the
option to turn it off), but ensures that IPIs are handled promptly even
under heavy I/O interrupt load.
Mohan Kumar suggested making kexec-tools-testing.tar.gz a link to the
latest version. I have done this and this patch updates the documentation
accordingly.

[PATCH] resierfs: avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmapped
This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time.
On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in
last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the
page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that
the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent
replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with
sanity check that page has to be not mapped.
The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an
inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are
serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the
mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags.
reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is
set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped
page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed.

[PATCH] mbind: restrict nodes to the currently allowed cpuset
Currently one can specify an arbitrary node mask to mbind that includes
nodes not allowed. If that is done with an interleave policy then we will
go around all the nodes. Those outside of the currently allowed cpuset
will be redirected to the border nodes. Interleave will then create
imbalances at the borders of the cpuset.
This patch restricts the nodes to the currently allowed cpuset.

[PATCH] fix blk_direct_IO bio preparation
For large size DIO that needs multiple bio, one full page worth of data was
lost at the boundary of bio's maximum sector or segment limits. After a
bio is full and got submitted. The outer while (nbytes) { ... } loop will
allocate a new bio and just march on to index into next page. It just
forgets about the page that bio_add_page() rejected when previous bio is
full. Fix it by put the rejected page back to pvec so we pick it up again
for the next bio.
