We aren't sampling for holes in memory. Thus we encounter a section hole
with empty section map pointer for SPARSEMEM and OOPs for show_mem. This
issue has been seen in 2.6.21, current git and current mm. The patch below
is for mainline and mm. It was boot tested for SPARSEMEM, current VMEMMAP
of Andy's in mm ml and DISCONTIGMEM. A slightly different patch will be
posted to stable for 2.6.21.
Previous to commit f0a5a58aa8 memory_present
was called for node_start_pfn to node_end_pfn. This would cover the
hole(s) with reserved pages and valid sections. Most SPARSEMEM supported
arches do a pfn_valid check in show_mem before computing the page structure
address.
This issue was brought to my attention on IRC by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
Thanks to Arnaldo for testing.

1. New entries can be added to tsk->pi_state_list after task completed
exit_pi_state_list(). The result is memory leakage and deadlocks.
2. handle_mm_fault() is called under spinlock. The result is obvious.
3. results in self-inflicted deadlock inside glibc.
Sometimes futex_lock_pi returns -ESRCH, when it is not expected
and glibc enters to for(;;) sleep() to simulate deadlock. This problem
is quite obvious and I think the patch is right. Though it looks like
each "if" in futex_lock_pi() got some stupid special case "else if". :-)
4. sometimes futex_lock_pi() returns -EDEADLK,
when nobody has the lock. The reason is also obvious (see comment
in the patch), but correct fix is far beyond my comprehension.
I guess someone already saw this, the chunk:
if (rt_mutex_trylock(&q.pi_state->pi_mutex))
ret = 0;
is obviously from the same opera. But it does not work, because the
rtmutex is really taken at this point: wake_futex_pi() of previous
owner reassigned it to us. My fix works. But it looks very stupid.
I would think about removal of shift of ownership in wake_futex_pi()
and making all the work in context of process taking lock.
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Fix 1) Avoid the tasklist lock variant of the exit race fix by adding
an additional state transition to the exit code.
This fixes also the issue, when a task with recursive segfaults
is not able to release the futexes.
Fix 2) Cleanup the lookup_pi_state() failure path and solve the -ESRCH
problem finally.
Fix 3) Solve the fixup_pi_state_owner() problem which needs to do the fixup
in the lock protected section by using the in_atomic userspace access
functions.
This removes also the ugly lock drop / unqueue inside of fixup_pi_state()
Fix 4) Fix a stale lock in the error path of futex_wake_pi()
Added some error checks for verification.
The -EDEADLK problem is solved by the rtmutex fixups.

Alexey Kuznetsov found some problems in the pi-futex code.
The major problem is a stale return value in rt_mutex_slowlock():
When the pi chain walk returns -EDEADLK, but the waiter was woken up during
the phases where the locks were dropped, the rtmutex could be acquired, but
due to the stale return value -EDEADLK returned to the caller.
Reset the return value in the retry path.

sata_promise uses two different command modes - packet and TF. Packet mode
is intelligent low-overhead mode while TF is the same old taskfile
interface. As with other advanced interface (ahci/sil24),
ATA_TFLAG_POLLING has no effect in packet mode. However, PIO commands are
issued using TF interface in polling mode, so pdc_interrupt() considers
interrupts spurious if ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is set.
This is broken for polling NODATA commands because command is issued using
packet mode but the interrupt handler ignores it due to ATA_TFLAG_POLLING.
Fix pdc_qc_issue_prot() such that ATA/ATAPI NODATA commands are issued
using TF interface if ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is set.
This patch fixes detection failure introduced by polling SETXFERMODE.

Instead of returning the smallest available object return ZERO_SIZE_PTR.
A ZERO_SIZE_PTR can be legitimately used as an object pointer as long as it
is not deferenced. The dereference of ZERO_SIZE_PTR causes a distinctive
fault. kfree can handle a ZERO_SIZE_PTR in the same way as NULL.
This enables functions to use zero sized object. e.g. n = number of objects.
objects = kmalloc(n * sizeof(object));
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
objects[i].x = y;

The sysfs adsl_status attribute ignores (aside from returning -EIO to the
user) any error sending a START/STOP command to the device and there is at
least one firmware which never sends a response but appears to work
regardless. Therefore atm_start should also continue if an error is received
so that such firmware is usable.
The official Conexant driver doesn't expect a reply either but this is for
another device (E2 router) and a commonly used firmware does respond.
Also, there is no point in changing -ECONNRESET to -ETIMEDOUT since nothing
ever checks for either of these values.

Since usbatm doesn't set the usb_interface driver data until after calling
bind and heavy_init, it would be NULL when the sysfs attributes are read.
Reading the MAC address from atm_dev before atm_dev exists would have been
be possible too.
Calling create_device_file in atm_start will avoid this problem, and the
data is useless until the first status poll runs. However, it must be
ready before a status poll does a printk on line status change otherwise
userspace could react before the files exist.
For completeness I've moved remove_device_file to atm_stop so it's not
called in unbind when it's not needed. There's no point starting ADSL if
atm_start could still fail either.

It turns out that le16_to_cpup() and le32_to_cpup() aren't always safe
to call with pointers into packed structures, since those are inlined
functions and GCC may lose the "packed" attribute. So those references
can become unaligned kernel accesses, which are evil on some hardware.
This patch updates uses of those routines in the gadget stack. The
references into packed structures can just use leXX_to_cpu(*x), which
in most cases is more natural. Some other uses in RNDIS, mostly in
debug code, were wrong in the first place; those use get_unaligned().

IPv4 options are not very well aligned within the packet and the
format of a CIPSO option is even worse. The result is that the CIPSO
engine in the kernel does a few unaligned accesses when parsing and
validating incoming packets with CIPSO options attached which generate
error messages on certain alignment sensitive platforms. This patch
fixes this by marking these unaligned accesses with the
get_unaliagned() macro.

This patch makes CIFS honour a process' umask like other filesystems.
Of course the server is still free to munge the permissions if it wants
to; but the client will send the "right" permissions to begin with.
A few caveats:
1) It only applies to filesystems that have CAP_UNIX (aka support unix
extensions)
2) It applies the correct mode to the follow up CIFSSMBUnixSetPerms()
after remote creation
When mode to CIFS/NTFS ACL mapping is complete we can do the

  [PATCH] ide: if the id fields looks screwy, disable DMA
  It's the safer choice. Originally due to a bug in itx821x, but a
  generally sound thing to do.
  Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
However it worked by pure luck before Jens' fixes: bogus ide_dma_enable()
usage in it821x driver combined with loosy check in ide_dma_verbose() allowed
the hardware to operate in DMA mode. When these problems were fixed the DMA
support broke...
The source root for the regression turned out to be that the it821x.c code
was clearing too much of id->field_valid. The IDE core code was using the
original value of id->field_valid to do the tuning but later DMA got disabled
in ide_dma_verbose() because of the incorrect id->field_valid fixup. Fix it.
While at it:
* Do fixup() after probing the drives but before tuning them (which is also
OK w.r.t. ide_undecoded_slave() fixup). This change fixes device IDENTIFY
data to be consistent before/after the tuning and allows us to remove extra
re-tuning of drives from it821x_fixups().
* Fake MWDMA0 enabled/supported bits in IDENTIFY data if the device has
DMA capable bit set (this is just to tell the IDE core that DMA is
supported since it821x firmware takes care of DMA mode programming).
* Don't touch timing registers and don't program transfer modes on devices
et all when in RAID mode - depend solely on firmware to do the tuning
(as suggested by Alan Cox and done in libata pata_it821x driver).
Thanks for testing the patch goes out to Thomas Kuther.

Problem noticed by Joe Zbiciak, see
http://kerneltrap.org/node/8252
for details.
On CSB6 the driver is using BIOS settings and not programming DMA/PIO timings
itself. However the logic was completely broken and resulted in wrong timings
being silently allowed (instead of being corrected by the driver).
This bug would explain some data corruption/timeout issues with Serverworks
MegaIDE in RAID mode that Alan Cox has fixed recently with:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=2074a106f52b6371885afbd714e929d60d0e3f64
For 2.6.23 we may be better off with completely switching the driver to always
programming timings (libata pata_serverworks.c driver is doing things this way
and there were no problems reported so far) but for 2.6.22 lets fix the bug
in the simplest and the least intrusive way.
