Stefan Richter 86431532ec ieee1394: dv1394: move deprecation message from module init to file open
On many Linux installations, the dv1394 driver will be auto-loaded
whenever an AV/C device (e.g. camcorder or audio device) is plugged in.
An irritating message would then appear in the kernel log.

Defer this message to until a dv1394 character device file is actually
used by a program.  Also include the program name in the message and
update the message slightly.

Clemens Ladisch 894dcd7878 sound: usb-audio: handle wMaxPacketSize for FIXED_ENDPOINT devices
For audio devices that do not have proper audio descriptors (e.g.,
Edirol UA-20), we use hardcoded parameters from our quirks list.
However, we must still read the maximum packet size from the standard
endpoint descriptor; otherwise, we might use packets that are too big
and therefore rejected by the USB core.

NeilBrown de01dfadf2 md: Ensure an md array never has too many devices.
Each different metadata format supported by md supports a
different maximum number of devices.
We really should be enforcing this maximum in the kernel, but
we aren't quite doing that properly.

We currently only enforce it at the 'hot_add' point, which is an
older interface which is not used by current userspace.

We need to also enforce it at 'add_new_disk' time for active arrays
and at 'do_md_run' time when starting a new array.

So move the test from 'hot_add' into 'bind_rdev_to_array' which is
called from both 'hot_add' and 'add_new_disk, and add a new
test in 'analyse_sbs' which is called from 'do_md_run'.

This bug (or missing feature) has been around "forever" and so
the patch is suitable for any -stable that is currently maintained.

Andre Noll 852c8bf484 md: Fix a bug in linear.c causing which_dev() to return the wrong device.
ab5bd5cbc8 introduced the following
bug in linear software raid for large arrays on 32 bit machines:

which_dev() computes the device holding a given sector by shifting
down the sector number to a 32 bit range, dividing by the array
spacing and looking up the resulting index in the hash table of
the array.

Because the computed index might be slightly too small, a loop at
the end of which_dev() increases the index until the given sector
actually falls into the range of the device associated with that index.

The changes of the above mentioned commit caused this loop to check
whether the _index_ rather than the sector number is small enough,
effectively bypassing the loop and thus possibly returning the wrong
device.

As reported by Simon Kirby, this leads to errors such as

	linear_make_request: Sector 2340486136 out of bounds on dev sdi: 156301312 sectors, offset 2109870464

Fix this bug by introducing a local variable for the index so that
the variable containing the passed sector is left unchanged.

NeilBrown 4706b349f4 md: Allow read error in a single drive raid1 to be passed up.
If a raid1 only has a single working device and gets a read error, 
we choose to simply return that error up to the filesystem (or whatever)
rather than failing the whole array.

However the codes doesn't quite do that.  We attempt a readbalance
which allocates the same drive, so we retry the read - indefinitely. 

Instead:  If read_balance in the error case chooses the same drive that just
failed, treat it as a failure and don't retry.

Impact: new API

These new functions do what previously was being open coded, reducing
the number of details ftrace plugin writers have to worry about.

It also standardizes the handling of stacktrace, userstacktrace and
other trace options we may introduce in the future.

With this patch, for instance, the blk tracer (and some others already
in the tree) can use the "userstacktrace" /d/tracing/trace_options
facility.

Eric Biederman 33da8892a2 seq_file: move traverse so it can be used from seq_read
In 2.6.25 some /proc files were converted to use the seq_file
infrastructure.  But seq_files do not correctly support pread(), which
broke some usersapce applications.

To handle pread correctly we can't assume that f_pos is where we left it
in seq_read.  So move traverse() so that we can eventually use it in
seq_read and do thus some day support pread().

Fix do_wp_page for VM_MIXEDMAP mappings.

In the case where pfn_valid returns 0 for a pfn at the beginning of

label `gotten:' with old_page == NULL.

In case the vma is locked (vma->vm_flags & VM_LOCKED), lock_page,
clear_page_mlock, and unlock_page try to access the old_page.

This patch checks whether old_page is valid before it is dereferenced.

Johannes Weiner 777c6c5f1f wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvation
With exclusive waiters, every process woken up through the wait queue must
ensure that the next waiter down the line is woken when it has finished.

Interruptible waiters don't do that when aborting due to a signal.  And if
an aborting waiter is concurrently woken up through the waitqueue, noone
will ever wake up the next waiter.

This has been observed with __wait_on_bit_lock() used by
lock_page_killable(): the first contender on the queue was aborting when
the actual lock holder woke it up concurrently.  The aborted contender
didn't acquire the lock and therefor never did an unlock followed by
waking up the next waiter.

Add abort_exclusive_wait() which removes the process' wait descriptor from
the waitqueue, iff still queued, or wakes up the next waiter otherwise.
It does so under the waitqueue lock.  Racing with a wake up means the
aborting process is either already woken (removed from the queue) and will
wake up the next waiter, or it will remove itself from the queue and the
concurrent wake up will apply to the next waiter after it.

Use abort_exclusive_wait() in __wait_event_interruptible_exclusive() and
__wait_on_bit_lock() when they were interrupted by other means than a wake
up through the queue.

The error-path code can call rfkill_unregister() with a pointer which does
not contain the result of a call to rfkill_register().  It goes BUG().

Andrew Morton 60fd760fb9 revert "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY"
Revert commit 0c2d64fb6c because it causes
(arguably poorly designed) existing userspace to spend interminable
periods closing billions of not-open file descriptors.

We could bring this back, with some sort of opt-in tunable in /proc, which
defaults to "off".

Peter's alanysis follows:

: I spent several hours trying to get to the bottom of a serious
: performance issue that appeared on one of our servers after upgrading to
: 2.6.28.  In the end it's what could be considered a userspace bug that
: was triggered by a change in 2.6.28.  Since this might also affect other
: people I figured I'd at least document what I found here, and maybe we
: can even do something about it:
:
:
: So, I upgraded some of debian.org's machines to 2.6.28.1 and immediately
: the team maintaining our ftp archive complained that one of their
: scripts that previously ran in a few minutes still hadn't even come
: close to being done after an hour or so.  Downgrading to 2.6.27 fixed
: that.
:
: Turns out that script is forking a lot and something in it or python or
: whereever closes all the file descriptors it doesn't want to pass on.
: That is, it starts at zero and goes up to ulimit -n/RLIMIT_NOFILE and
: closes them all with a few exceptions.
:
: Turns out that takes a long time when your limit -n is now 2^20 (1048576).
:
: With 2.6.27.* the ulimit -n was the standard 1024, but with 2.6.28 it is
: now a thousand times that.
:
: 2.6.28 included a patch titled "rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to
: RLIM_INFINITY" (0c2d64fb6c)[1] that
: allows, as the title implies, to set the limit for number of files to
: infinity.
:
: Closer investigation showed that the broken default ulimit did not apply
: to "system" processes (like stuff started from init).  In the end I
: could establish that all processes that passed through pam_limit at one
: point had the bad resource limit.
:
: Apparently the pam library in Debian etch (4.0) initializes the limits
: to some default values when it doesn't have any settings in limit.conf
: to override them.  Turns out that for nofiles this is RLIM_INFINITY.
: Commenting out "case RLIMIT_NOFILE" in pam_limit.c:267 of our pam
: package version 0.79-5 fixes that - tho I'm not sure what side effects
: that has.
:
: Debian lenny (the upcoming 5.0 version) doesn't have this issue as it
: uses a different pam (version).

Tony Battersby a68e61e8ff shm: fix shmctl(SHM_INFO) lockup with !CONFIG_SHMEM
shm_get_stat() assumes that the inode is a "struct shmem_inode_info",
which is incorrect for !CONFIG_SHMEM (see fs/ramfs/inode.c:
ramfs_get_inode() vs.  mm/shmem.c: shmem_get_inode()).

This bad assumption can cause shmctl(SHM_INFO) to lockup when
shm_get_stat() tries to spin_lock(&info->lock).  Users of !CONFIG_SHMEM
may encounter this lockup simply by invoking the 'ipcs' command.

Andrea Righi 1f5e31d7e5 fbmem: don't call copy_from/to_user() with mutex held
Avoid calling copy_from/to_user() with fb_info->lock mutex held in fbmem
ioctl().

fb_mmap() is called under mm->mmap_sem (A) held, that also acquires
fb_info->lock (B); fb_ioctl() takes fb_info->lock (B) and does
copy_from/to_user() that might acquire mm->mmap_sem (A), causing a
deadlock.

NOTE: it doesn't push down the fb_info->lock in each own driver's
fb_ioctl(), so there are still potential deadlocks elsewhere.

Change it into a doesn't-return-anything macro before someone goes and

David Altobelli c073b2db00 hpilo: open/close fix
The device can take a while to respond to an open/close request, so
increase the time kernel will wait for response (1 ms to 10ms).

Also, properly clean up a channel on a failed open, by calling the channel
close routine.  Just freeing the memory isn't sufficient, the device needs
to be informed that the channel is no longer open, and the device memory
cleared of references to freed dma buffer.
