NeilBrown 7be3dfec47 md: reduce CPU wastage on idle md array with a write-intent bitmap
Recent patch titled
  Reduce CPU wastage on idle md array with a write-intent bitmap.

would sometimes leave the array with dirty bitmap bits that stay dirty.  A
subsequent write would sort things out so it isn't a big problem, but should
be fixed nonetheless.

We need to make sure that when the bitmap becomes not "allclean", the
daemon_sleep really does get set to a sensible value.

NeilBrown 52720ae77d md: fix formatting error in /proc/mdstat
If an md array is "auto-read-only", then this appears in /proc/mdstat as

   /dev/md0: active(auto-read-only)

whereas if it is truely readonly, it appears as

   /dev/md0: active (read-only)

The difference being a space.

One program known to parse this file expects the space and gets badly
confused.  It will be fixed, but it would be best if what the kernel generates
is more consistent too.

David Brownell e82cc1288f USB: fix ehci unlink regressions
The recent EHCI driver update to split the IAA watchdog timer out from
the other timers made several things work better, but not everything;
and it created a couple new issues in bugzilla.  Ergo this patch:

  - Handle a should-be-rare SMP race between the watchdog firing
    and (very late) IAA interrupts;

  - Remove a shouldn't-have-been-added WARN_ON() test;

  - Guard against one observed OOPS;

  - If this watchdog fires during clean HC shutdown, it should act
    as a NOP instead of interfering with the shutdown sequence;

  - Guard against silicon errata hypothesized by some vendors:
      * IAA status latch broken, but IAAD cleared OK;
      * IAAD wasn't cleared when IAA status got reported;

The WARN_ON is in bugzilla as 10168; the OOPS as 10078; these are
both regressions.

Nobody should be using the generic usb-serial for anything other than

is a traceback from NMI oopser here:
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431379

But in short, if a line discipline has a chance to echo anything, input
can loop back a write method. So, don't call tty_flip_buffer_push from

Jesper Juhl b91aac29bb PCI Hotplug: Fix small mem leak in IBM Hot Plug Controller Driver
In drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c::ebda_rsrc_controller(), storage is
allocated with kzalloc() and assigned to 'tmp_slot'.  Then lots of
stuff, like ->flag, ->supported_speed etc is set in tmp_slot.  A bit
further down there's then this test :

  if (!bus_info_ptr1) {
    rc = -ENODEV;
    goto error;
  }

At this point, tmp_slot has not been assigned to anything, so when
erroring-out we want to free it, but nothing at the 'error:' label
free's 'tmp_slot' - and we can't really free 'tmp_slot' at 'error:'
since we may jump to that label later when 'tmp_slot' *has* been used
and we do not want it freed. So, the only sane option left seems to be
to kfree(tmp_slot) just before jumping to the 'error:' label in the one
place where this is what actually makes sense. The following patch does
just that and thus kills off a tiny potential memory leak.

James Bottomley e88a0c2ca8 drivers: fix dma_get_required_mask
There's a bug in the current implementation of dma_get_required_mask()
where it ands the returned mask with the current device mask.  This
rather defeats the purpose if you're using the call to determine what
your mask should be (since you will at that time have the default
DMA_32BIT_MASK).  This bug results in any driver that uses this function
*always* getting a 32 bit mask, which is wrong.

Fix by removing the and with dev->dma_mask.

See e.g. kernel.org bug #10077.
The main part of the fix is a trivial state management
making sure the card is realy ready to use before allowing
any access.

Greg Kroah-Hartman ef79df2630 sysdev: fix problem with sysdev_class being re-registered
We need to initialize the kobject for a sysdev_class as it could have
been recycled (stupid static kobjects...)

We also do the same thing in case sysdev devices are being
re-registered.

Thanks to Balaji Rao <balajirrao@gmail.com> for pointing out the
problem.

Rusty Russell 4357bd9453 lguest: Revert 1ce70c4fac, fix real problem.
Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest
bug, and indeed it wasn't.

The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table
being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return
an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables
for each Guest).

Commit 37cc8d7f96 introduced this
behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug.

The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index
calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the
early exit path of guest_set_pmd().  But you get lots of segfaults in
guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated.

Rusty Russell f14ae652ba lguest: fix __get_vm_area usage.
Robert Bragg's 5dc3318528 tightened
(ie. fixed) the checking in __get_vm_area, and it broke lguest.

lguest should pass the exact "end" it wants, not some random constant
(it was possible previously that it would actually get an address
different from SWITCHER_ADDR).

Also, Fabio Checconi pointed out that we should make sure we're not
hitting the fixmap area.
