Paul Jackson 505970b96e [PATCH] cpuset oom lock fix
The problem, reported in:

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5859

and by various other email messages and lkml posts is that the cpuset hook
in the oom (out of memory) code can try to take a cpuset semaphore while
holding the tasklist_lock (a spinlock).

One must not sleep while holding a spinlock.

The fix seems easy enough - move the cpuset semaphore region outside the
tasklist_lock region.

This required a few lines of mechanism to implement.  The oom code where
the locking needs to be changed does not have access to the cpuset locks,
which are internal to kernel/cpuset.c only.  So I provided a couple more
cpuset interface routines, available to the rest of the kernel, which
simple take and drop the lock needed here (cpusets callback_sem).

The show_task function walks the kernel stack backchain of processes assuming
that the processes are not running.  Since this assumption is not correct
walking the backchain can lead to an addressing exception and therefore to a

Robin Holt 7339ff8302 [PATCH] Add tmpfs options for memory placement policies
Anything that writes into a tmpfs filesystem is liable to disproportionately
decrease the available memory on a particular node.  Since there's no telling
what sort of application (e.g.  dd/cp/cat) might be dropping large files
there, this lets the admin choose the appropriate default behavior for their
site's situation.

Introduce a tmpfs mount option which allows specifying a memory policy and
a second option to specify the nodelist for that policy.  With the default
policy, tmpfs will behave as it does today.  This patch adds support for
preferred, bind, and interleave policies.

The default policy will cause pages to be added to tmpfs files on the node
which is doing the writing.  Some jobs expect a single process to create
and manage the tmpfs files.  This results in a node which has a
significantly reduced number of free pages.

With this patch, the administrator can specify the policy and nodes for
that policy where they would prefer allocations.

This patch was originally written by Brent Casavant and Hugh Dickins.  I
added support for the bind and preferred policies and the mpol_nodelist
mount option.

Calin A. Culianu eed6565f70 [PATCH] Watchdog: Winsystems EPX-C3 SBC
This is a 2.6 patch that adds support for the watchdog timer built into the
EPX-C3 single board computer manufactured by Winsystems, Inc.

Driver details:

This is for x86 only.  This watchdog is pretty basic and simple.  It is
only configurable via jumpers on the SBC, and it only has either a 1.5s or
200s interval.  The watchdog can either be auto-configured to start as soon
as the machine powers up (bad idea for the 1.5s interval!) or it can be
enabled and disabled by writing to io port 0x1ee.  Petting the watchdog
involves writing any value to io port 0x1ef.

The only unfortunate thing about this watchdog (and it is not at all
uncommmon in watchdogs that linux supports) is that it is not a PCI or
ISA-PNP device and as such it isn't at all probeable.  Either the watchdog
exists as 2 bytes at 0x1ee, or it doesn't.  Thus, using this driver on a
machine that doesn't have that watchdog can potentially hang/crash the
system, etc.  So only use this driver if you in fact are on a Winsystems
EPX-C3 SBC.

Anyway this driver fits into the already-existing watchdog framework quite
nicely and I already tested it on my EPX-C3 and it works like a charm.

Alexander Viro 7c7dce9209 [PATCH] Fix double decrement of mqueue_mnt->mnt_count in sys_mq_open
Fixed the refcounting on failure exits in sys_mq_open() and
cleaned the logics up.  Rules are actually pretty simple - dentry_open()
expects vfsmount and dentry to be pinned down and it either transfers
them into created struct file or drops them.  Old code had been very
confused in that area - if dentry_open() had failed either in do_open()
or do_create(), we ended up dentry and mqueue_mnt dropped twice, once
by dentry_open() cleanup and then by sys_mq_open().

Fix consists of making the rules for do_create() and do_open()
same as for dentry_open() and updating the sys_mq_open() accordingly;
that actually leads to more straightforward code and less work on
normal path.

Nicolas Pitre 3f471126ee [ARM] 3262/4: allow ptraced syscalls to be overriden
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

This is needed by strace to properly handle the tracing of some system
calls. It could be useful for other applications as well.

Based on an earlier patch from Daniel Jacobowitz.
