[PATCH] shrinker->nr = LONG_MAX means deadlock for icache
With Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>
The slab scanning code tries to balance the scanning rate of slabs versus the
scanning rate of LRU pages. To do this, it retains state concerning how many
slabs have been scanned - if a particular slab shrinker didn't scan enough
objects, we remember that for next time, and scan more objects on the next
pass.
The problem with this is that with (say) a huge number of GFP_NOIO
direct-reclaim attempts, the number of objects which are to be scanned when we
finally get a GFP_KERNEL request can be huge. Because some shrinker handlers
just bail out if !__GFP_FS.
So the patch clamps the number of objects-to-be-scanned to 2* the total number
of objects in the slab cache.

[PATCH] md: improve read speed to raid10 arrays using 'far copies'
raid10 has two different layouts. One uses near-copies (so multiple
copies of a block are at the same or similar offsets of different
devices) and the other uses far-copies (so multiple copies of a block
are stored a greatly different offsets on different devices). The point
of far-copies is that it allows the first section (normally first half)
to be layed out in normal raid0 style, and thus provide raid0 sequential
read performance.
Unfortunately, the read balancing in raid10 makes some poor decisions
for far-copies arrays and you don't get the desired performance. So
turn off that bad bit of read_balance for far-copies arrays.

[PATCH] m32r: Fix sys_tas() syscall
This patch fixes a deadlock problem of the m32r SMP kernel.
In the m32r kernel, sys_tas() system call is provided as a test-and-set
function for userspace, for backward compatibility.
In some multi-threading application program, deadlocks were rarely caused
at sys_tas() funcion. Such a deadlock was caused due to a collision of
__pthread_lock() and __pthread_unlock() operations.
The "tas" syscall is repeatedly called by pthread_mutex_lock() to get a
lock, while a lock variable's value is not 0. On the other hand,
pthead_mutex_unlock() sets the lock variable to 0 for unlocking.
In the previous implementation of sys_tas() routine, there was a
possibility that a unlock operation was ignored in the following case:
- Assume a lock variable (*addr) was equal to 1 before sys_tas() execution.
- __pthread_unlock() operation is executed by the other processor
and the lock variable (*addr) is set to 0, between a read operation
("oldval = *addr;") and the following write operation ("*addr = 1;")
during a execution of sys_tas().
In this case, the following write operation ("*addr = 1;") overwrites the
__pthread_unlock() result, and sys_tas() fails to get a lock in the next
turn and after that.
According to the attatched patch, sys_tas() returns 0 value in the next
turn and deadlocks never happen.

There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest
function calls lock_cpu_hotplug(). The lock is already held during

registered clients.
Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and
make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls
but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup.
Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in
all places.
- Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static.
- removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug()
so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and
just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock.
- Removed current_in_hotplug() uses
- Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug()

Nov 13 07:37:31 wrobel kernel: Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed
When attempting to hotadd a PCI card with a bridge on it, I saw
the kernel reporting resource collision errors even when there were
really no collisions. The problem is that the code doesn't skip
over "invalid" resources with their resource type flag not set.
Others have reported similar problems at boot time and for
non-bridge PCI card hotplug too, where the code flags a
resource collision for disabled ROMs. This patch fixes both
problems.

[PATCH] PCI Express Hotplug: clear sticky power-fault bit
Per the PCI Express spec, the power-fault-detected bit in the
slot status register can be set anytime hardware detects a power
fault, regardless of whether the slot has a device populated in
it or not. This bit is sticky and must be explicitly cleared.
This patch is needed to allow hot-add after such a power fault
has been detected.

[PATCH] hwmon: Fix missing it87 fan div init
Fix a bug where setting the low fan speed limits will not work if no
data was ever read through the sysfs interface and the fan clock
dividers have not been explicitely set yet either. The reason is that
data->fan_div[nr] may currently be used before it is initialized from
the chip register values. The fix is to explicitely initialize
data->fan_div[nr] before using it.

[BRIDGE]: recompute features when adding a new device
We must recompute bridge features everytime the list of underlying
devices changes, or we might end up with features that are not
supported by all devices (eg. NETIF_F_TSO)
This patch adds the missing recompute when adding a device to the bridge.

[PATCH] powerpc: fix for hugepage areas straddling 4GB boundary
Commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 fixed bugs in the ppc64 SLB
miss handler with respect to hugepage handling, and in the process tweaked
the semantics of the hugepage address masks in mm_context_t.
Unfortunately, it left out a couple of necessary changes to go with that
change. First, the in_hugepage_area() macro was not updated to match,
second prepare_hugepage_range() was not updated to correctly handle
hugepages regions which straddled the 4GB point.
The latter appears only to cause process-hangs when attempting to map such
a region, but the former can cause oopses if a get_user_pages() is
triggered at the wrong point. This patch addresses both bugs.

If unregister_console() is inadvertently called while no consoles are
registered, it will crash trying to dereference NULL pointer. It is
necessary to fix that because register_console() provides no indication
that it actually registered the console passed in. In fact, it may well
decide not to register it based on various things...
(akpm: It'd be better to make register_console() return something and fix the
callers. All 106 of them...)

[PATCH] kprobes: Fix return probes on sys_execve
Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return
probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve,
do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread. The fix is to
remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread(). This fix has
been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has
been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64). Please apply.
BACKGROUND
Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a
task exits, and when it execs. Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is
correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more
return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit(). Neither
is the case for sys_execve() and its callees.
Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless
because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function
back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its
kretprobe_instance. When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety
measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and
x86_64. sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for
return probes until this fix was developed.
