Linus Torvalds 09c0dc6862 Revert "[PATCH] kthread: update loop.c to use kthread"
This reverts commit c7b2eff059.

Hugh Dickins explains:

 "It seems too little tested: "losetup -d /dev/loop0" fails with
  EINVAL because nothing sets lo_thread; but even when you patch
  loop_thread() to set lo->lo_thread = current, it can't survive
  more than a few dozen iterations of the loop below (with a tmpfs
  mounted on /tst):

	j=0
	cp /dev/zero /tst
	while :
	do
	    let j=j+1
	    echo "Doing pass $j"
	    losetup /dev/loop0 /tst/zero
	    mkfs -t ext2 -b 1024 /dev/loop0 >/dev/null 2>&1
	    mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt
	    umount /mnt
	    losetup -d /dev/loop0
	done

  it collapses with failed ioctl then BUG_ON(!bio).

  I think the original lo_done completion was more subtle and safe
  than the kthread conversion has allowed for."

COMPAQ_CISSC/0x4091, which was out of order.  I double-checked these, but it

Constantine Sapuntzakis eefe85ee35 [PATCH] drivers/block/loop.c: don't return garbage if LOOP_SET_STATUS not called
While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop
device was returning total garbage.

It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the
LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl.  This
losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call.

The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL,
which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer.

This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in
loop_set_fd.

Pete Zaitcev 688e9fb1bb [PATCH] ub: atomic add_disk
<zaitcev> I am taling about this: "if (disk->flags & GENHD_FL_UP) del_gendisk(disk);"
<zaitcev> If del_gendisk() undoes add_disk() like viro just said, why is it conditional?
<viro> huh?
<viro> add_disk() sets the damn flag
<zaitcev> So, I should not need to check ever
<viro> so the above is "if I've called add_disk(), call gendisk()"
<viro> which might be what you want, of course
<viro> but usually you know if you'd done add_disk() on that puppy anyway

In ub, nobody upstream should ever see half-constructed disks before
they were passed to add_disk. To that end, only add the struct lun to
the list on the path of no return. With that fix in place, we do
not need to test GENHD_FL_UP.

Herbert Xu 364c6badde [NET]: Clean up skb_linearize
The linearisation operation doesn't need to be super-optimised.  So we can
replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but
is more general.

Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear
or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that.

Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's
useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's
either non-linear or cloned.

Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it
anymore.  If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

Misc bugs fixed by this patch:

Various scsi drivers use scsi_cmnd.buffer and scsi_cmnd.bufflen in their
queuecommand functions.  Those fields are internal storage for the
midlayer only and are used to restore the original payload after
request_buffer and request_bufflen have been overwritten for EH.  Using
the buffer and bufflen fields means they do very broken things in error
handling.

Jesper Juhl 07fb75a506 [SCSI] fix (unlikely) memory leak in DAC960 driver
The Coverity checker found a memory leak (bug nr. 1245) in
 drivers/block/DAC960.c::DAC960_V2_ProcessCompletedCommand()

The leak is pretty unlikely since it requires that the first of two
successive kmalloc() calls fail while the second one succeeds. But it can
still happen even if it's unlikely.

If the first call that allocates 'PhysicalDeviceInfo' fails but the one
that allocates 'InquiryUnitSerialNumber' succeeds, then we will leak the
memory allocated to 'InquiryUnitSerialNumber' when the variable goes out
of scope.

A simple fix for this is to change the existing code that frees
'PhysicalDeviceInfo' if that one was allocated but
'InquiryUnitSerialNumber' was not, into a check for either pointer
being NULL and if so just free both. This is safe since kfree() can
deal with being passed a NULL pointer and it avoids the leak.

While I was there I also removed the casts of the kmalloc() return
value since it's pointless.
I also updated the driver version since this patch changes the workings of
the code (however slightly).

This issue could probably be fixed a lot more elegantly, but the code
is a big mess IMHO and I just took the least intrusive route to a fix
that I could find instead of starting on a cleanup as well (that can
come later).

Please consider for inclusion.

Pete Zaitcev 77ef6c4d6e [PATCH] USB: ub oops in block_uevent
In kernel 2.6.16, if a mounted storage device is removed, an oops happens
because ub supplies an interface device (and kobject) to the block layer,
but neglects to pin it. And apparently, the block layer expects its users
to pin device structures.

The code in ub was broken this way for years. But the bug was exposed only
by 2.6.16 when it started to call block_uevent on close, which traverses
device structures (kobjects actually).

OGAWA Hirofumi 9b41046cd0 [PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]
The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and
parse_args(,unknown_bootoption).

And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup().

	start_kernel()
		-> parse_args()
			-> unknown_bootoption()
				-> obsolete_checksetup()

If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in
obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was
handled.

If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other
->setup_func().  If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0,
a parameter is seted to argv_init[].

Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app.
If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.

This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

Matthew Dobson 93d2341c75 [PATCH] mempool: use mempool_create_slab_pool()
Modify well over a dozen mempool users to call mempool_create_slab_pool()
rather than calling mempool_create() with extra arguments, saving about 30
lines of code and increasing readability.

Matthew Dobson 0eaae62aba [PATCH] mempool: use common mempool kmalloc allocator
This patch changes several mempool users, all of which are basically just
wrappers around kmalloc(), to use the common mempool_kmalloc/kfree, rather
than their own wrapper function, removing a bunch of duplicated code.

Ingo Molnar 6dc659d813 [PATCH] drivers/block/floppy.c: dont free_irq() from irq context
free_irq() should not be executed from softirq context.

Found by the lock validator.  The fix is to push fd_free_irq() into
keventd.  The code validates fine with this patch applied.

(akpm: this is revolting, but so is floppy.c)

Zdenek Pavlas 340e48e662 [PATCH] BLK_DEV_INITRD: do not require BLK_DEV_RAM=y
Initramfs initrd images do not need a ramdisk device, so remove this
restriction in Kconfig.  BLK_DEV_RAM=n saves about 13k on i386.  Also
without ramdisk device there's no need for "dry run", so initramfs unpacks
much faster.

People using cramfs, squashfs, or gzipped ext2/minix initrd images are
probably smart enough not to turn off ramdisk support by accident.
