Al Viro c35038beca [PATCH] do shrink_submounts() for all fs types
... and take it out of ->umount_begin() instances.  Call with all locks
already taken (by do_umount()) and leave calling release_mounts() to
caller (it will do release_mounts() anyway, so we can just put into
the same list).

David S. Miller 50fd4407b8 [NET]: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in napi_complete().
Based upon a lockdep report.

Since ->poll() can be invoked from netpoll with interrupts
disabled, we must not unconditionally enable interrupts
in napi_complete().

Instead we must use local_irq_{save,restore}().

Noticed by Peter Zijlstra:

<irqs disabled>

  netpoll_poll()
    poll_napi()
      spin_trylock(&napi->poll_lock)
      poll_one_napi()
        napi->poll() := sky2_poll()
          napi_complete()
            local_irq_disable()
            local_irq_enable() <--- *BUG*

  <irq>
    irq_exit()
      do_softirq()
        net_rx_action()
          spin_lock(&napi->poll_lock) <--- Deadlock!

Because we still hold the lock....

Thomas Graf 920fc941a9 [ESP]: Ensure IV is in linear part of the skb to avoid BUG() due to OOB access
ESP does not account for the IV size when calling pskb_may_pull() to
ensure everything it accesses directly is within the linear part of a
potential fragment. This results in a BUG() being triggered when the

Jarod Wilson 6b84236d37 firewire: fw-ohci: plug dma memory leak in AR handler
There's an ugly little memory leak in firewire-ohci's
ar_context_tasklet(), where we're not freeing up some of the memory we
use for each ar_buffer, due to a moving pointer. The problem has been
there for a while, but didn't get noticed until after converting the AR
routines over to use coherent DMA and I started running into I/O stall-
outs with the following message output repeatedly to the console:

PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space for 53248 bytes at device 0000:04:09.0

Plugging this leak is definitely necessary, but unfortunately, isn't the
entire answer to my problem, it only increases the amount of I/O that I
can do before hitting the problem. Still working on tracking down the
root cause..

Ivo van Doorn 9896322ae1 rt2x00: Ignore set_state(STATE_SLEEP) failure
Some hardware never seem to accept the "goto sleep" command, since the legacy
drivers don't have suspend and resume handlers the entire code for it was
basically a educated guess (based on the "enable radio" code).
This patch will only print a warning when the "goto sleep" command fails, and
just continues as usual. Perhaps that means the device will not reach a sleep
state and consumes more power then it should, but it is equally possible it
simply needs some seconds longer to sleep. Anyway, by making the command
non-fatal it will not block the rest of the suspend procedure.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 2e8fe719b5 xen: fix UP setup of shared_info
We need to set up the shared_info pointer once we've mapped the real
shared_info into its fixmap slot.  That needs to happen once the general
pagetable setup has been done.  Previously, the UP shared_info was set
up one in xen_start_kernel, but that was left pointing to the dummy
shared info.  Unfortunately there's no really good place to do a later
setup of the shared_info in UP, so just do it once the pagetable setup
has been done.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 04c44a080d xen: fix RMW when unmasking events
xen_irq_enable_direct and xen_sysexit were using "andw $0x00ff,
XEN_vcpu_info_pending(vcpu)" to unmask events and test for pending ones
in one instuction.

Unfortunately, the pending flag must be modified with a locked operation
since it can be set by another CPU, and the unlocked form of this
operation was causing the pending flag to get lost, allowing the processor
to return to usermode with pending events and ultimately deadlock.

The simple fix would be to make it a locked operation, but that's rather
costly and unnecessary.  The fix here is to split the mask-clearing and
pending-testing into two instructions; the interrupt window between
them is of no concern because either way pending or new events will
be processed.

This should fix lingering bugs in using direct vcpu structure access too.

Herbert Xu 732c8bd590 [IPSEC]: Fix BEET output
The IPv6 BEET output function is incorrectly including the inner
header in the payload to be protected.  This causes a crash as
the packet doesn't actually have that many bytes for a second
header.

The IPv4 BEET output on the other hand is broken when it comes
to handling an inner IPv6 header since it always assumes an
inner IPv4 header.

This patch fixes both by making sure that neither BEET output
function touches the inner header at all.  All access is now
done through the protocol-independent cb structure.  Two new
attributes are added to make this work, the IP header length
and the IPv4 option length.  They're filled in by the inner
mode's output function.

Thanks to Joakim Koskela for finding this problem.

This was tracked down to a potential livelock in
return_unused_surplus_hugepages().  In the case where we have surplus
pages on some node, but no free pages on the same node, we may never
break out of the loop. To avoid this livelock, terminate the search if
we iterate a number of times equal to the number of online nodes without
freeing a page.

Thanks to Andy Whitcroft and Adam Litke for helping with debugging and
the patch.

Nishanth Aravamudan a1de09195b hugetlb: indicate surplus huge page counts in per-node meminfo
Currently we show the surplus hugetlb pool state in /proc/meminfo, but
not in the per-node meminfo files, even though we track the information
on a per-node basis. Printing it there can help track down dynamic pool
bugs including the one in the follow-on patch.

Suresh Siddha d546b67a94 x86: fix performance drop for glx
fix the 3D performance drop reported at:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328

fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with
WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both
ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This
breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead
of expected WC.

The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the
absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the
fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API.

We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now,
revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.

Yinghai Lu 76c324182b x86: fix trim mtrr not to setup_memory two times
we could call find_max_pfn() directly instead of setup_memory() to get
max_pfn needed for mtrr trimming.

otherwise setup_memory() is called two times... that is duplicated...

[ mingo@elte.hu: both Thomas and me simulated a double call to
  setup_bootmem_allocator() and can confirm that it is a real bug
  which can hang in certain configs. It's not been reported yet but
  that is probably due to the relatively scarce nature of
  MTRR-trimming systems. ]

Er, yeah.  The patch below should fix it.  This should probably go into
2.6.25.

Oops, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL wasn't being declared due to this header
being missing.

Stephan Diestelhorst c6e8256a7b x86, cpufreq: fix Speedfreq-SMI call that clobbers ECX
I have found that using SMI to change the cpu's frequency on my DELL
Latitude L400 clobbers the ECX register in speedstep_set_state, causing
unneccessary retries because the "state" variable has changed silently (GCC
assumes it is still present in ECX).

play safe and avoid gcc caching any register across IO port accesses
that trigger SMIs.
