The CCISS driver seems to loose track of DMA mappings created by it's

Instead, they simply try to unmap 0x0. It's easy to see this problem on an

[PATCH] set_current_state() commentary
Explain the mysteries of set_current_state().
Quoth Linus:
The scheduler itself never needs the memory barrier at all.
The barrier is needed only if the user itself ends up testing some other
thing afterwards, ie if you have
set_process_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
if (still_need_to_sleep())
schedule();
then the "still_need_to_sleep()" thing may test flags and wakeup events,
and then you _may_ want to (and often do) make sure that the write of
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE is serialized wrt the reads of any wakeup data (since
the wakeup may have happened on another CPU).
So the comment is somewhat wrong. We don't really _care_ whether the state
propagates out to other CPU's since all of our actions are purely local,
and there is nothing we do that is conditional on any other CPU: we're
going to sleep unconditionally, and the scheduler only cares about _our_
state, not about somebody elses state.

[PATCH] open returns ENFILE but creates file anyway
When open(O_CREAT) is called and the error, ENFILE, is returned, the file
may be created anyway. This is counter intuitive, against the SUS V3
specification, and may cause applications to misbehave if they are not
coded correctly to handle this semantic. The SUS V3 specification
explicitly states "No files shall be created or modified if the function
returns -1.".
The error, ENFILE, is used to indicate the system wide open file table is
full and no more file structs can be allocated.
This is due to an ordering problem. The entry in the directory is created
before the file struct is allocated. If the allocation for the file struct
fails, then the system call must return an error, but the directory entry
was already created and can not be safely removed.
The solution to this situation is relatively easy. The file struct should
be allocated before the directory entry is created. If the allocation
fails, then the error can be returned directly. If the creation of the
directory entry fails, then the file struct can be easily freed.
