Adrian Bunk 3170a5e80b [ARM] arch/arm/kernel/dma-isa.c: named initializers
This patch converts struct dma_resources to named initializers.

Besides fixing a compile error in -mm, it didn't sound like a bad idea.

Roland Dreier a4523a8b38 [PATCH] slab: Fix kmem_cache_destroy() on NUMA
With CONFIG_NUMA set, kmem_cache_destroy() may fail and say "Can't
free all objects."  The problem is caused by sequences such as the
following (suppose we are on a NUMA machine with two nodes, 0 and 1):

 * Allocate an object from cache on node 0.
 * Free the object on node 1.  The object is put into node 1's alien
   array_cache for node 0.
 * Call kmem_cache_destroy(), which ultimately ends up in __cache_shrink().
 * __cache_shrink() does drain_cpu_caches(), which loops through all nodes.
   For each node it drains the shared array_cache and then handles the
   alien array_cache for the other node.

However this means that node 0's shared array_cache will be drained,
and then node 1 will move the contents of its alien[0] array_cache
into that same shared array_cache.  node 0's shared array_cache is
never looked at again, so the objects left there will appear to be in
use when __cache_shrink() calls __node_shrink() for node 0.  So
__node_shrink() will return 1 and kmem_cache_destroy() will fail.

This patch fixes this by having drain_cpu_caches() do
drain_alien_cache() on every node before it does drain_array() on the
nodes' shared array_caches.

The problem was originally reported by Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@voltaire.com>.

Extends an earlier patch from John Blackwood to more exception handlers

Expand the use of preempt_conditional_{sti,cli} to all cases where
interrupts are to be re-enabled during exception handling while running

Andi Kleen fad7906d16 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix memory hotadd heuristics
This fixes some boot failures on Dell and Unisys systems with memory
hotadd added.

 - Set hotadd_percent to 0 by default.  This means anybody using hotadd
   memory needs to specify the value on the command line.  That's
   because there are lots of Intel boxes which have a bogus hotplug area
   in their SRAT and they would waste a lot of memory before.
 - Fix calculation of how much memory to use when the hotplug area
   exceeds hotadd_percent
 - Fix fallback when the

Benjamin Herrenschmidt cb6b2eb9bc [PATCH] Fix pSeries identification in prom_init.c
The OF trampoline code prom_init.c still needs to identify IBM pSeries
(PAPR) machines in order to run some platform specific code on them like
instanciating the TCE tables. The code doing that detection was changed
recently in 2.6.17 early stages but was done slightly incorrectly. It
should be testing for an exact match of "chrp" and it currently tests
for anything that begins with "chrp". That means it will incorrectly
match with platforms using Maple-like device-trees and have open
firmware. This fixes it by using strcmp instead of strncmp to match what
the actual platform detection code does.

Stephen Hemminger 843a46f423 sky2: prevent dual port receiver problems
When both ports are receiving simultaneously, the receive logic gets confused
and may pass up a packet before it is full. This causes hangs, and IP will see
lots of garbage packets. There is even the potential for data corruption if
a later arriving packet DMA's into freed memory.

It looks like a hardware bug because status arrives for a packet but no
data is there. Until this bug is worked out, block the user from bringing
up both ports at once.

Lennert Buytenhek 1ea739a5f9 The ixp2000 driver for the enp2611 was developed on a board with
three gigabit ports, but some enp2611 models only have two ports
(and only one onboard PM3386.)  The current driver assumes there
are always three ports and so it doesn't work on the two-port
version of the board at all.

This patch adds a bit of logic to the enp2611 driver to limit the
number of ports to 2 if the second PM3386 isn't detected.

Fix the error handling of some LED _store functions.  This corrects them to
return -EINVAL if the value is not numeric with an optional byte of trailing
whitespace.

Jan Niehusmann 48564e628b [PATCH] smbfs: Fix slab corruption in samba error path
Yesterday, I got the following error with 2.6.16.13 during a file copy from
a smb filesystem over a wireless link.  I guess there was some error on the
wireless link, which in turn caused an error condition for the smb
filesystem.

In the log, smb_file_read reports error=4294966784 (0xfffffe00), which also
shows up in the slab dumps, and also is -ERESTARTSYS.  Error code 27499
corresponds to 0x6b6b, so the rq_errno field seems to be the only one being
set after freeing the slab.

In smb_add_request (which is the only place in smbfs where I found
ERESTARTSYS), I found the following:

        if (!timeleft || signal_pending(current)) {
                /*
                 * On timeout or on interrupt we want to try and remove the
                 * request from the recvq/xmitq.
                 */
                smb_lock_server(server);
                if (!(req->rq_flags & SMB_REQ_RECEIVED)) {
                        list_del_init(&req->rq_queue);
                        smb_rput(req);
                }
                smb_unlock_server(server);
        }
	[...]
        if (signal_pending(current))
                req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS;

I guess that some codepath like smbiod_flush() caused the request to be
removed from the queue, and smb_rput(req) be called, without
SMB_REQ_RECEIVED being set.  This violates an asumption made by the quoted
code.

Then, the above code calls smb_rput(req) again, the req gets freed, and
req->rq_errno = -ERESTARTSYS writes into the already freed slab.  As
list_del_init doesn't cause an error if called multiple times, that does
cause the observed behaviour (freed slab with rq_errno=-ERESTARTSYS).

If this observation is correct, the following patch should fix it.

I wonder why the smb code uses list_del_init everywhere - using list_del
instead would catch such situations by poisoning the next and prev
pointers.

Trent Piepho 5e37661389 [PATCH] symbol_put_addr() locks kernel
Even since a previous patch:

Fix race between CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC and modules
Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:55:19 +0000 (17:55 +0000)
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commit;h=92b3db26d31cf21b70e3c1eadc56c179506d8fbe

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.
