72ab373a56 [PATCH] Yet more posix-cpu-timer fixes
This just makes sure that a thread's expiry times can't get reset after
it clears them in do_exit.

This is what allowed us to re-introduce the stricter BUG_ON() check in
a362f463a6.

a362f463a6 Revert "remove false BUG_ON() from run_posix_cpu_timers()"
This reverts commit 3de463c7d9.

Roland has another patch that allows us to leave the BUG_ON() in place
by just making sure that the condition it tests for really is always
true.

That goes in next.

7a4ed937aa [PATCH] Fix cpu timers expiration time
There's a silly off-by-one error in the code that updates the expiration
of posix CPU timers, causing them to not be properly updated when they
hit exactly on their expiration time (which should be the normal case).

This causes them to then fire immediately again, and only _then_ get
properly updated.

94c1d31845 [PATCH] Fix HFS+ to free up the space when a file is deleted.
fsck_hfs reveals lots of temporary files accumulating in the hidden
directory "\000\000\000HFS+ Private Data".  According to the HFS+
documentation these are files which are unlinked while in use.  However,
there may be a bug in the Linux hfsplus implementation which causes this to
happen even when the files are not in use.  It looks like the "opencnt"
field is never initialized as (I think) it should be in hfsplus_read_inode.
 This means that a file can appear to be still in use when in fact it has
been closed.  This patch seems to fix it for me.

35848e048f [PATCH] kill massive wireless-related log spam
Although this message is having the intended effect of causing wireless
driver maintainers to upgrade their code, I never should have merged this
patch in its present form.  Leading to tons of bug reports and unhappy
users.

Some wireless apps poll for statistics regularly, which leads to a printk()
every single time they ask for stats.  That's a little bit _too_ much of a
reminder that the driver is using an old API.

Change this to printing out the message once, per kernel boot.

7edc24c4d1 [ARM] 3032/1: sparse: complains about generic_fls() prototype in asm-arm/bitops.h
Patch from Ian Campbell

Sparse complains about the definition of generic_fls in asm-arm/bitops.h:
  CHECK   /home/icampbell/devel/kernel/2.6/arch/arm/mach-pxa/viper.c
include2/asm/bitops.h:350:34: error: marked inline, but without a definition

The definition is unnecessary since linux/bitops.h defines generic_fls before including asm/bitops.h and asm/bitops.h should not be included directly. There are still some places where asm/bitops.h is directly included, but I think that code should be fixed. I was a little wary of the patch for this reason but lubbock, mainstone and assabet all build OK and so do my in house boards...

ARM is the only arch with the generic_fls prototype in this way.

If qla2x00_probe_one()'s call to qla2x00_iospace_config() fails, we call
qla2x00_free_device() to clean up.  But because ha->dpc_pid hasn't been set
yet, qla2x00_free_device() tries to stop a kernel thread which hasn't started
yet.  It does wait_for_completion() against an uninitialised completion struct
and the kernel hangs up.

Fix it by initialising ha->dpc_pid a bit earlier.

a69ac4a78d [PATCH] posix-timers: fix posix_cpu_timer_set() vs run_posix_cpu_timers() race
This might be harmless, but looks like a race from code inspection (I
was unable to trigger it).  I must admit, I don't understand why we
can't return TIMER_RETRY after 'spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock)'
without doing bump_cpu_timer(), but this is what original code does.

posix_cpu_timer_set:

	read_lock(&tasklist_lock);

	spin_lock(&p->sighand->siglock);
	list_del_init(&timer->it.cpu.entry);
	spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock);

We are probaly deleting the timer from run_posix_cpu_timers's 'firing'
local list_head while run_posix_cpu_timers() does list_for_each_safe.

Various bad things can happen, for example we can just delete this timer
so that list_for_each() will not notice it and run_posix_cpu_timers()
will not reset '->firing' flag. In that case,

	....

	if (timer->it.cpu.firing) {
		read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
		timer->it.cpu.firing = -1;
		return TIMER_RETRY;
	}

sys_timer_settime() goes to 'retry:', calls posix_cpu_timer_set() again,
it returns TIMER_RETRY ...

another cpu to attach the timer to exiting process after that.

After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and
before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find
tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu
does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL.

At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were cleaned
up in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(), so we can just
return from irq.

108150ea78 [PATCH] posix-timers: fix cleanup_timers() and run_posix_cpu_timers() races
1. cleanup_timers() sets timer->task = NULL under tasklist + ->sighand locks.
   That means that this code in posix_cpu_timer_del() and posix_cpu_timer_set()

   		lock_timer(timer);
		if (timer->task == NULL)
			return;
		read_lock(tasklist);
		put_task_struct(timer->task)

   is racy. With this patch timer->task modified and accounted only under
   timer->it_lock. Sadly, this means that dead task_struct won't be freed
   until timer deleted or armed.

2. run_posix_cpu_timers() collects expired timers into local list under
   tasklist + ->sighand again. That means that posix_cpu_timer_del()
   should check timer->it.cpu.firing under these locks too.

Fix a bug which was reported and diagnosed by
Stefan Jones <stefan.jones@churchillrandoms.co.uk>

IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects.  There's no way to destroy
this cache, so when we discard an overall idr tree we end up leaking some
memory.

Add and use idr_destroy() for this.  v9fs and infiniband also need to use
idr_destroy() to avoid leaks.

Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload().  Which is probably
better.  Later.

4196c3af25 cardbus: limit IO windows to 256 bytes
That's what we've always historically done, and bigger windows seem to
confuse some cardbus bridges. Or something.

Alan reports that this makes the ThinkPad 600x series work properly
again: the 4kB IO window for some reason made IDE DMA not work, which
makes IDE painfully slow even if it works after DMA timeouts.

e80eda94d3 Posix timers: limit number of timers firing at once
Bursty timers aren't good for anybody, very much including latency for
other programs when we trigger lots of timers in interrupt context.  So
set a random limit, after which we'll handle the rest on the next timer
tick.
