Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's
endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER. An issue is that the buddy allocator
requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned. Otherwise
__page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial
MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints. page_is_buddy will detect that
these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem
allocator and not part of zone). Of course the negative here is we could
waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks
for zone boundary conditions.
SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint
when SPARSEMEM is configured. ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic
either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently. This
leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for
node_mem_map.

Device node major/minor numbers are just stored in the payload of a single
data node. Just extend that to 4 bytes and use new_encode_dev() for it.
We only use the 4-byte format if we _need_ to, if !old_valid_dev(foo).
This preserves backwards compatibility with older code as much as
possible. If we do make devices with major or minor numbers above 255, and
then mount the file system with the old code, it'll just read the first
two bytes and get the numbers wrong. If it comes to garbage-collect it,
it'll then write back those wrong numbers. But that's about the best we
can expect.

Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules

The function symbol_put_addr() will deadlock the kernel.
symbol_put_addr() would acquire modlist_lock, then while holding the lock call
two functions kernel_text_address() and module_text_address() which also try
to acquire the same lock. This deadlocks the kernel of course.
This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it
doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly. Also, it
now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address(). The latter has
an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that
since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address
uses) ourselves.

If we use __attribute__((packed)), GCC will _also_ assume that the
structures aren't sensibly aligned, and it'll emit code to cope with
that instead of straight word load/save. This can be _very_ suboptimal
on architectures like ARM.
Ideally, we want an attribute which just tells GCC not to do any
padding, without the alignment side-effects. In the absense of that,
we'll just drop the 'packed' attribute and hope that everything stays as
it was (which to be fair is fairly much what we expect). And add some
paranoia checks in the initialisation code, which should be optimised

The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support.
Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize
xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype.
In addition, some bugs are fixed.
- A potential race condition was fixed.
- Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed.
- A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed.
The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion
mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed
and updated if necessary.
Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to
load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

After dwmw2 let me know it ought to be done, I rewrote the physmap map
driver to be a platform driver. I know zilch about the driver model,
so I probably botched it in some way, but I've done some tests on an
ixp23xx board which uses physmap, and it all seems to work.
In order to not break existing physmap users, I've added some compat
code that will instantiate a platform device iff CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN
is defined and != 0. Also, I've changed the default value for
CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN to zero, so that people who inadvertently
compile in physmap (or new, platform-style, users of physmap) don't get
burned.
This works pretty well -- the new physmap driver is a drop-in replacement
for the old one, and works on said ixp23xx board without any code changes
needed. (This should hold as long as users don't touch 'physmap_map'
directly.)
Once all physmap users have been converted to instantiate their own
platform devices, the compat code can go. (Or we decide that we can
change all the in-tree users at the same time, and never merge the
compat code.)

When iptables userspace adds an ipt_standard_target, it calculates the size
of the entire entry as:
sizeof(struct ipt_entry) + XT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target))
ipt_standard_target looks like this:
struct xt_standard_target
{
struct xt_entry_target target;
int verdict;
};
xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the
structure gets an extra 4 byte of padding at the end. On 32 bit
architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4
byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large.
The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by
sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target) - sizeof(struct compat_ipt_standard_target),
which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace
was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by
accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other
architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to
the size and following offsets.

The ->map() function is really expensive on highmem machines right now,
since it has to use the slower kmap() instead of kmap_atomic(). Splice
rarely needs to access the virtual address of a page, so it's a waste
of time doing it.
Introduce ->pin() to take over the responsibility of making sure the
page data is valid. ->map() is then reduced to just kmap(). That way we
can also share a most of the pipe buffer ops between pipe.c and splice.c

1) The audit_ipc_perms() function has been split into two different
functions:
- audit_ipc_obj()
- audit_ipc_set_perm()
There's a key shift here... The audit_ipc_obj() collects the uid, gid,
mode, and SElinux context label of the current ipc object. This
audit_ipc_obj() hook is now found in several places. Most notably, it
is hooked in ipcperms(), which is called in various places around the
ipc code permforming a MAC check. Additionally there are several places
where *checkid() is used to validate that an operation is being
performed on a valid object while not necessarily having a nearby
ipcperms() call. In these locations, audit_ipc_obj() is called to
ensure that the information is captured by the audit system.
The audit_set_new_perm() function is called any time the permissions on
the ipc object changes. In this case, the NEW permissions are recorded
(and note that an audit_ipc_obj() call exists just a few lines before
each instance).
2) Support for an AUDIT_IPC_SET_PERM audit message type. This allows
for separate auxiliary audit records for normal operations on an IPC
object and permissions changes. Note that the same struct
audit_aux_data_ipcctl is used and populated, however there are separate
audit_log_format statements based on the type of the message. Finally,
the AUDIT_IPC block of code in audit_free_aux() was extended to handle
aux messages of this new type. No more mem leaks I hope ;-)

[PATCH] DMI: move dmi_scan.c from arch/i386 to drivers/firmware/
dmi_scan.c is arch-independent and is used by i386, x86_64, and ia64.
Currently all three arches compile it from arch/i386, which means that ia64
and x86_64 depend on things in arch/i386 that they wouldn't otherwise care
about.
This is simply "mv arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c drivers/firmware/" (removing
trailing whitespace) and the associated Makefile changes. All three
architectures already set CONFIG_DMI in their top-level Kconfig files.

[BLOCK] delay all uevents until partition table is scanned
Here we delay the annoucement of all block device events until the
disk's partition table is scanned and all partition devices are already
created and sysfs is populated.
We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we
probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the
same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition
devices.
Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not
at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed
events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when
we find already present partitions.

It works like this:
Open the file
Read all the contents.
Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works)
When poll returns,
close the file and go to top of loop.
or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'.
Events are signaled by an object manager calling
sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr);
If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which
contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group).
This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject,
one int per open file.
The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify
functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs
attributes as well?
This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action
to be pollable

[PATCH] splice: add support for sys_tee()
[PATCH] splice: pass offset around for ->splice_read() and ->splice_write()
We currently have two implementations of this obsolete ioctl, one in
the block layer and one in the scsi code. Both of them have drawbacks.
This patch kills the scsi layer version after updating the block version
with the missing bits:
- argument checking
- use scatterlist I/O
- set number of retries based on the submitted command
This is the last user of non-S/G I/O except for the gdth driver, so
getting this in ASAP and through the scsi tree would be nie to kill
the non-S/G I/O path. Jens, what do you think about adding a check

The pen down IRQ will toggle during each X,Y,Z measurement cycle.
Even though the IRQ is disabled it will be latched and delivered
when after enable_irq. Thus in the IRQ handler we must avoid
starting a new measurement cycle when such an "unwanted" IRQ happens.
Add a get_pendown_state platform function, which will probably
determine this by reading the current GPIO level of the pen IRQ pin.
Move the IRQ reenabling from the SPI RX function to the timer. After
the last power down message the pen IRQ pin is still active for a
while and get_pendown_state would report incorrectly a pen down state.
When suspending we should check the ts->pending flag instead of
ts->pendown, since the timer can be pending regardless of ts->pendown.
Also if ts->pending is set we can be sure that the timer is running,
so no need to rearm it. Similarly if ts->pending is not set we can
be sure that the IRQ is enabled (and the timer is not).

If there are still failure cases here, then the result is probably that we

An UML user reported (against 2.6.13.3/UML) he got kernel Oopses when
trying to rmmod (on a kernel with module unloading enabled) a module
compiled with module unloading disabled. As crashing is a very correct
thing to do in that case, a solution is altering the vermagic string to
include this too.
Possibly, however, the code should not crash in this case, even if the
module didn't support unloading - it should simply abort the module
removal. In this case, fixing that bug would be a better solution. I've
not investigated though.

Some string functions were safely overrideable in lib/string.c, but their
corresponding declarations in linux/string.h were not. Correct this, and
make strcspn overrideable.
Odds of someone wanting to do optimized assembly of these are small, but
for the sake of cleanliness, might as well bring them into line with the
rest of the file.

Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
each arch. Its definition is sometimes configurable. Indeed, ia64 defines 5
NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree. But it looks a bit messy.
SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
been changeable by config. Suitable node's number may be changed in the
future even if it is other architecture. So, I wrote configurable node's
number.
This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
nodes except ia64. But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.
On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
config. But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too. So, I
changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT. It
would be simpler.

These patches are an enhancement of OVERCOMMIT_GUESS algorithm in
__vm_enough_memory().
- why the kernel needed patching
When the kernel can't allocate anonymous pages in practice, currnet
OVERCOMMIT_GUESS could return success. This implementation might be
the cause of oom kill in memory pressure situation.
If the Linux runs with page reservation features like
/proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio and without swap region, I think
the oom kill occurs easily.
- the overall design approach in the patch
When the OVERCOMMET_GUESS algorithm calculates number of free pages,
the reserved free pages are regarded as non-free pages.
This change helps to avoid the pitfall that the number of free pages
become less than the number which the kernel tries to keep free.
- testing results
I tested the patches using my test kernel module.
If the patches aren't applied to the kernel, __vm_enough_memory()
returns success in the situation but autual page allocation is
failed.
On the other hand, if the patches are applied to the kernel, memory
allocation failure is avoided since __vm_enough_memory() returns
failure in the situation.
I checked that on i386 SMP 16GB memory machine. I haven't tested on
nommu environment currently.
This patch adds totalreserve_pages for __vm_enough_memory().
Calculate_totalreserve_pages() checks maximum lowmem_reserve pages and
pages_high in each zone. Finally, the function stores the sum of each
zone to totalreserve_pages.
The totalreserve_pages is calculated when the VM is initilized.
And the variable is updated when /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_raito
or /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes are changed.

reshape_position is a 64bit field that was not 64bit aligned. So swap with
new_level.
NOTE: this is a user-visible change. However:
- The bad code has not appeared in a released kernel
- This code is still marked 'experimental'
- This only affects version-1 superblock, which are not in wide use
- These field are only used (rather than simply reported) by user-space
tools in extemely rare circumstances : after a reshape crashes in the
first second of the reshape process.
So I believe that, at this stage, the change is safe. Especially if people
heed the 'help' message on use mdadm-2.4.1.

It's more efficient for sendfile() emulation. Basically we cache an
internal private pipe and just use that as the intermediate area for
pages. Direct splicing is not available from sys_splice(), it is only
meant to be used for sendfile() emulation.
Additional patch from Ingo Molnar to avoid the PIPE_BUFFERS loop at
exit for the normal fast path.

Oleg Nesterov spotted two interesting bugs with the current de_thread
code. The simplest is a long standing double decrement of
__get_cpu_var(process_counts) in __unhash_process. Caused by
two processes exiting when only one was created.
The other is that since we no longer detach from the thread_group list
it is possible for do_each_thread when run under the tasklist_lock to
see the same task_struct twice. Once on the task list as a
thread_group_leader, and once on the thread list of another
thread.
The double appearance in do_each_thread can cause a double increment
of mm_core_waiters in zap_threads resulting in problems later on in
coredump_wait.
To remedy those two problems this patch takes the simple approach
of changing the old thread group leader into a child thread.
The only routine in release_task that cares is __unhash_process,
and it can be trivially seen that we handle cleaning up a
thread group leader properly.
Since de_thread doesn't change the pid of the exiting leader process
and instead shares it with the new leader process. I change
thread_group_leader to recognize group leadership based on the
group_leader field and not based on pids. This should also be
slightly cheaper then the existing thread_group_leader macro.
I performed a quick audit and I couldn't see any user of
thread_group_leader that cared about the difference.

Overriding the whole EH code is a per-transport, not per-host thing.
Move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class, same as
->eh_timed_out.
Downside is that scsi_host_alloc can't check for the total lack of EH
anymore, but the transition period from old EH where we needed it is
long gone already.

Rohit found an obscure bug causing buddy list corruption.
page_is_buddy is using a non-atomic test (PagePrivate && page_count == 0)
to determine whether or not a free page's buddy is itself free and in the
buddy lists.
Each of the conjuncts may be true at different times due to unrelated
conditions, so the non-atomic page_is_buddy test may find each conjunct to
be true even if they were not both true at the same time (ie. the page was
not on the buddy lists).

add optional input and output offsets to sys_splice(), for seekable file
descriptors:
asmlinkage long sys_splice(int fd_in, loff_t __user *off_in,
int fd_out, loff_t __user *off_out,
size_t len, unsigned int flags);
semantics are straightforward: f_pos will be updated with the offset
provided by user-space, before the splice transfer is about to begin.
Providing a NULL offset pointer means the existing f_pos will be used
(and updated in situ). Providing an offset for a pipe results in
-ESPIPE. Providing an invalid offset pointer results in -EFAULT.
