75e806838a sky2: receive FIFO checking
A driver writer from another operating system hinted that
the versions of Yukon 2 chip with rambuffer (EC and XL) have
a hardware bug that if the FIFO ever gets completely full it
will hang. Sounds like a classic ring full vs ring empty wrap around
bug.

As a workaround, use the existing watchdog timer to check for
ring full lockup.

ea76e63598 sky2: reorganize chip revision features

be7963b7e7 ieee1394: ohci1394: fix initialization if built non-modular
Initialization of ohci1394 was broken according to one reporter if the
driver was statically linked, i.e. not built as loadable module.  Dmesg:

  PCI: Device 0000:02:07.0 not available because of resource collisions
  ohci1394: Failed to enable OHCI hardware.

This was reported for a Toshiba Satellite 5100-503.  The cause is commit
8df4083c52 in Linux 2.6.19-rc1 which only
served purposes of early remote debugging via FireWire.  This
functionality is better provided by the currently out-of-tree driver
ohci1394_earlyinit.  Reversal of the commit was OK'd by Andi Kleen.

f3d5e3a415 [PPP] L2TP: Fix skb handling in pppol2tp_xmit
This patch makes pppol2tp_xmit call skb_cow_head so that we don't modify
cloned skb data.  It also gets rid of skb2 we only need to preserve the
original skb for congestion notification, which is only applicable for
ppp_async and ppp_sync.

The other semantic change made here is the removal of socket accounting
for data tranmitted out of pppol2tp_xmit.  The original code leaked any
existing socket skb accounting.  We could fix this by dropping the
original skb owner.  However, this is undesirable as the packet has not
physically left the host yet.

In fact, all other tunnels in the kernel do not account skb's passing
through to their own socket.  In partciular, ESP over UDP does not do
so and it is the closest tunnel type to PPPoL2TP.  So this patch simply
removes the socket accounting in pppol2tp_xmit.  The accounting still
applies to control packets of course.

I've also added a reminder that the outgoing checksum here doesn't work.
I suppose existing deployments don't actually enable checksums.

As exposed during netfilter workshop, nfnetlink_log was overwritten the
message type of the last message (setting it to MSG_DONE) in a multipart

packet.

The following patch adds a supplementary message (with type MSG_DONE) af

This removes the bogus DOS line endings, and removes whitespace at the

1bc5858d0d [XFS] fix valid but harmless sparse warning
The new xlog_recover_do_reg_buffer checks call be16_to_cpu on di_gen which
is a 32bit value so sparse rightly complains. Fortunately the warning is
harmless because we don't care for the value, but only whether it's
non-NULL. Due to that fact we can simply kill the endian swaps on this and
the previous di_mode check entirely.

bcc7b445ef [XFS] fix filestreams on 32-bit boxes
xfs_filestream_mount() sets up an mru cache with:
  err = xfs_mru_cache_create(&mp->m_filestream, lifetime, grp_count,
  (xfs_mru_cache_free_func_t)xfs_fstrm_free_func);
but that cast is causing problems...
  typedef void (*xfs_mru_cache_free_func_t)(unsigned long, void*);
but:
  void xfs_fstrm_free_func( xfs_ino_t ino, fstrm_item_t *item)
so on a 32-bit box, it's casting (32, 32) args into (64, 32) and I assume
it's getting garbage for *item, which subsequently causes an explosion.
With this change the filestreams xfsqa tests don't oops on my 32-bit box.

9c95e7319b sched: fix invalid sched_class use
When using rt_mutex, a NULL pointer dereference is occurred at
enqueue_task_rt. Here is a scenario;
1) there are two threads, the thread A is fair_sched_class and
   thread B is rt_sched_class.
2) Thread A is boosted up to rt_sched_class, because the thread A
   has a rt_mutex lock and the thread B is waiting the lock.
3) At this time, when thread A create a new thread C, the thread
   C has a rt_sched_class.
4) When doing wake_up_new_task() for the thread C, the priority
   of the thread C is out of the RT priority range, because the
   normal priority of thread A is not the RT priority. It makes
   data corruption by overflowing the rt_prio_array.
The new thread C should be fair_sched_class.

The new thread should be valid scheduler class before queuing.
This patch fixes to set the suitable scheduler class.

d78ae2dcc2 r8169: workaround against ignored TxPoll writes (8168)
The 8168 ignores the requests to fetch the Tx descriptors when
the relevant TxPoll bit is already set. It easily kills the
performances of the 8168. David Gundersen has noticed that it
is enough to wait for the completion of the DMA transfer (NPQ
bit is cleared) before writing the TxPoll register again.

The extra IO traffic added by the proposed workaround could be
minimalized but it is not a high-priority task.

dbe3ed1c07 x86-64: page faults from user mode are always user faults
Randy Dunlap noticed an interesting "crashme" behaviour on his dual
Prescott Xeon setup, where he gets page faults with the error code
having a zero "user" bit, but the register state points back to user
mode.

This may be a CPU microcode buglet triggered by some strange instruction
pattern that crashme generates, and loading a microcode update seems to
possibly have fixed it.

Regardless, we really should trust the register state more than the
error code, since it's really the register state that determines whether
we can actually send a signal, or whether we're in kernel mode and need
to oops/kill the process in the case of a page fault.

4f01a757e7 Driver core: fix deprectated sysfs structure for nested class devices
Nested class devices used to have 'device' symlink point to a real
(physical) device instead of a parent class device.  When converting
subsystems to struct device we need to keep doing what class devices did if
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is Y, otherwise parts of udev break.

508a92741a uml: fix irqstack crash
This patch fixes a crash caused by an interrupt coming in when an IRQ stack
is being torn down.  When this happens, handle_signal will loop, setting up
the IRQ stack again because the tearing down had finished, and handling
whatever signals had come in.

However, to_irq_stack returns a mask of pending signals to be handled, plus
bit zero is set if the IRQ stack was already active, and thus shouldn't be
torn down.  This causes a problem because when handle_signal goes around
the loop, sig will be zero, and to_irq_stack will duly set bit zero in the
returned mask, faking handle_signal into believing that it shouldn't tear
down the IRQ stack and return thread_info pointers back to their original
values.

This will eventually cause a crash, as the IRQ stack thread_info will
continue pointing to the original task_struct and an interrupt will look
into it after it has been freed.

The fix is to stop passing a signal number into to_irq_stack.  Rather, the
pending signals mask is initialized beforehand with the bit for sig already
set.  References to sig in to_irq_stack can be replaced with references to
the mask.

480eccf9ae Fix NUMA Memory Policy Reference Counting
This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the
page allocation paths and in show_numa_map().  Extracted from my "Memory
Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone.

Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy,
but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the
numa map data.

Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor
should the current task's task policy.  However, show_numa_map() calls
get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy.
The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy.

This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by
get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's
mempolicy.  Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup.  A
matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for
shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another
task's mempolicy.  We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly
inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy.

Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier.
huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma
'BIND policy.  In this case, we should hold the reference until after the
huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage().  The patch modifies
huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be
unref'd after allocation.

28f300d236 Fix user namespace exiting OOPs
It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in
exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the
put_task_struct(), i.e.  MUCH later.

On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in
uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the
struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned.

Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e.
when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from
it during the namespace exiting.  The subsequent free_uid() will complete the
user_struct destruction.

For example simple program

   #include <sched.h>

   char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024];

   int f(void *foo)
   {
   	return 0;
   }

   int main(void)
   {
   	clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0);
   	return 0;
   }

run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the
kernel immediately.

This was spotted during OpenVZ kernel testing.

list_heads, thus occupying twice as much place as it could.  Convert it to
