[PATCH] fix deadlock in ext2
Fix a deadlock possible in the ext2 file system implementation. This
deadlock occurs when a file is removed from an ext2 file system which was
mounted with the "sync" mount option.
The problem is that ext2_xattr_delete_inode() was invoking the routine,
sync_dirty_buffer(), using a buffer head which was previously locked via
lock_buffer(). The first thing that sync_dirty_buffer() does is to lock
the buffer head that it was passed. It does this via lock_buffer(). Oops.
The solution is to unlock the buffer head in ext2_xattr_delete_inode()
before invoking sync_dirty_buffer(). This makes the code in
ext2_xattr_delete_inode() obey the same locking rules as all other callers
of sync_dirty_buffer() in the ext2 file system implementation.

[PATCH] Provide an interface for getting the current tick length
This provides an interface for arch code to find out how many
nanoseconds are going to be added on to xtime by the next call to
do_timer. The value returned is a fixed-point number in 52.12 format
in nanoseconds. The reason for this format is that it gives the
full precision that the timekeeping code is using internally.
The motivation for this is to fix a problem that has arisen on 32-bit
powerpc in that the value returned by do_gettimeofday drifts apart
from xtime if NTP is being used. PowerPC is now using a lockless
do_gettimeofday based on reading the timebase register and performing
some simple arithmetic. (This method of getting the time is also
exported to userspace via the VDSO.) However, the factor and offset
it uses were calculated based on the nominal tick length and weren't
being adjusted when NTP varied the tick length.
Note that 64-bit powerpc has had the lockless do_gettimeofday for a
long time now. It also had an extremely hairy routine that got called
from the 32-bit compat routine for adjtimex, which adjusted the
factor and offset according to what it thought the timekeeping code
was going to do. Not only was this only called if a 32-bit task did
adjtimex (i.e. not if a 64-bit task did adjtimex), it was also
duplicating computations from kernel/timer.c and it wasn't clear that
it was (still) correct.
The simple solution is to ask the timekeeping code how long the
current jiffy will be on each timer interrupt, after calling
do_timer. If this jiffy will be a different length from the last one,
we then need to compute new values for the factor and offset used in
the lockless do_gettimeofday. In this way we can keep xtime and
do_gettimeofday in sync, even when NTP is varying the tick length.
Note that when adjtimex varies the tick length, it almost always
introduces the variation from the next tick on. The only case I could
see where adjtimex would vary the length of the current tick is when
an old-style adjtime adjustment is being cancelled. (It's not clear
to me why the adjustment has to be cancelled immediately rather than
from the next tick on.) Thus I don't see any real need for a hook in
adjtimex; the rare case of an old-style adjustment being cancelled can
be fixed up at the next tick.

drop the card into Management Error state. When falling back, the
driver should also indicate that it is switching to Shared Key mode by
setting exclude_unencrypted.
2) Initial authentication modes were apparently wrong in some cases,
causing the driver to attempt Shared Key authentication mode when in
fact the access point didn't support that mode or even had WEP disabled.
The driver should set the correct initial authentication mode based on
wep_is_on and exclude_unencrypted.
3) Authentication response packets from the access point in Open System

[PATCH] neofb: avoid resetting display config on unblank (v2)
There were two mistakes in the register-read-on-(un)blank approach.
- First, without proper register (un)locking the value read back will always
be zero, and this is what I missed entirely until just now. Due to this,
the logic could not be verified at all and I tried some bogus checks which
are completely stupid.
- Second, the LCD status bit will always be set to zero when the backlight
has been turned off. Reading the value back during unblank will disable the
LCD unconditionally, regardless of the state it is supposed to be in, since
we set it to zero beforehand.
So this is what we do now:
- create a new variable in struct neofb_par, and use that to determine
whether to read back registers (initialized to true)
- before actually blanking the screen, read back the register to sense any
possible change made through Fn key combo
- use proper neoUnlock() / neoLock() to actually read something
- every call to neofb_blank() determines if we read back next time: blanking
disables readback, unblanking (FB_BLANK_UNBLANK) enables it
This should give us a nice and clean state machine. Has been thoroughly
tested on a Dell Latitude CPiA / NM220 Chip docked to a C/Dock2 with attached
CRT in all possible combinations of LCD/CRT on/off. I changed the config via
Fn key, let the console blank, unblanked by keypress - works flawlessly.

[IA64] ia64: simplify and fix udelay()
The original ia64 udelay() was simple, but flawed for platforms without
synchronized ITCs: a preemption and migration to another CPU during the
while-loop likely resulted in too-early termination or very, very
lengthy looping.
The first fix (now in 2.6.15) broke the delay loop into smaller,
non-preemptible chunks, reenabling preemption between the chunks. This
fix is flawed in that the total udelay is computed to be the sum of just
the non-premptible while-loop pieces, i.e., not counting the time spent
in the interim preemptible periods. If an interrupt or a migration
occurs during one of these interim periods, then that time is invisible
and only serves to lengthen the effective udelay().
This new fix backs out the current flawed fix and returns to a simple
udelay(), fully preemptible and interruptible. It implements two simple
alternative udelay() routines: one a default generic version that uses

What if kill_proc_info(p->pid) happens in between?
copy_process() holds current->sighand.siglock, so we are safe
in CLONE_THREAD case, because current->sighand == p->sighand.
Otherwise, p->sighand is unlocked, the new process is already
visible to the find_task_by_pid(), but have a copy of parent's
'struct pid' in ->pids[PIDTYPE_TGID].
This means that __group_complete_signal() may hang while doing
do ... while (next_thread() != p)
We can solve this problem if we reverse these 2 attach_pid()s:
attach_pid() does wmb()
group_send_sig_info() calls spin_lock(), which
provides a read barrier. // Yes ?
I don't think we can hit this race in practice, but still.

[PATCH] fix kill_proc_info() vs CLONE_THREAD race
There is a window after copy_process() unlocks ->sighand.siglock
and before it adds the new thread to the thread list.
In that window __group_complete_signal(SIGKILL) will not see the
new thread yet, so this thread will start running while the whole
thread group was supposed to exit.
I beleive we have another good reason to place attach_pid(PID/TGID)
under ->sighand.siglock. We can do the same for
release_task()->__unhash_process()
de_thread()->switch_exec_pids()
After that we don't need tasklist_lock to iterate over the thread
list, and we can simplify things, see for example do_sigaction()
or sys_times().

[NETFILTER]: Fix xfrm lookup after SNAT
To find out if a packet needs to be handled by IPsec after SNAT, packets
are currently rerouted in POST_ROUTING and a new xfrm lookup is done. This
breaks SNAT of non-unicast packets to non-local addresses because the
packet is routed as incoming packet and no neighbour entry is bound to the
dst_entry. In general, it seems to be a bad idea to replace the dst_entry
after the packet was already sent to the output routine because its state
might not match what's expected.
This patch changes the xfrm lookup in POST_ROUTING to re-use the original
dst_entry without routing the packet again. This means no policy routing
can be used for transport mode transforms (which keep the original route)
when packets are SNATed to match the policy, but it looks like the best
we can do for now.

[PATCH] neofb: avoid resetting display config on unblank
Fix issues with the NeoMagic framebuffer driver.
It nicely complements my previous fix already in linus' tree. The only
thing missing now is that the external CRT will not be activated at neofb
init when external-only is selected, either by register read or
module/kernel parameter.
Testing was done on a Dell Latitude CPi-A/NM2200 chip.
Previous behaviour:
- before booting linux, set the preferred display config X via FN+F8
- boot linux, neofb stores the register values in a private
variable
- change the display config to Y via keystroke
- leave the machine in peace until display is blanked
- touching any key will result in display config X being restored
- booting up, the BIOS will acknowledge config Y, though...
Current behaviour:
At the time of unblanking, config Y is honoured because we now read back
register contents instead of just overwriting them with outdated values.
