75d070c56f [PATCH] sky2: disable rx checksum on Yukon XL
Under load, my SysKonnect SK-9S22 sees duplicate checksums from
earlier packets.  Doesn't happen on other platforms so just disable
receive checksum there.

49d7bc6428 Revert revert of "[SCSI] fix usb storage oops"
This reverts commit 1b0997f561, which in
turn reverted 34ea80ec6a (which is thus
re-instated).

Quoth James Bottomley:

  "All it's doing is deferring the device_put() from the
   scsi_put_command() to after the scsi_run_queue(), which doesn't fix
   the sleep while atomic problem of the device release method.  In both
   cases we still get the semaphore in atomic context problem which is
   caused by scsi_reap_target() doing a device_del(), which I assumed
   (wrongly) was valid from atomic context."

a64882e795 [PATCH] ACPI: fix sleeping whilst atomic warnings on resume
This has been broken for months.  On resume, we call acpi_pci_link_set()
with interrupts off, so we get a warning when we try to do a kmalloc of non
atomic memory.  The actual allocation is just 2 long's (plus extra byte for
some reason I can't fathom), so a simple conversion to GFP_ATOMIC is
probably the safest way to fix this.

The error looks like this..

66d43e98ea [PATCH] fix in __alloc_bootmem_core() when there is no free page in first node's memory
Hitting BUG_ON() in __alloc_bootmem_core() when there is no free page
available in the first node's memory.  For the case of kdump on PPC64
(Power 4 machine), the captured kernel is used two memory regions - memory
for TCE tables (tce-base and tce-size at top of RAM and reserved) and
captured kernel memory region (crashk_base and crashk_size).  Since we
reserve the memory for the first node, we should be returning from
__alloc_bootmem_core() to search for the next node (pg_dat).

Currently, find_next_zero_bit() is returning the n^th bit (eidx) when there
is no free page.  Then, test_bit() is failed since we set 0xff only for the
actual size initially (init_bootmem_core()) even though rounded up to one
page for bdata->node_bootmem_map.  We are hitting the BUG_ON after failing
to enter second "for" loop.

#define __GFP_DMA32	((__force gfp_t)0x01)	/* ZONE_DMA is ZONE_DMA32

8140a5005b [PATCH] inotify: add two inotify_add_watch flags
The below patch lets userspace have more control over the inodes that
inotify will watch.  It introduces two new flags.

        IN_ONLYDIR -- only watch the inode if it is a directory.
        This is needed to avoid the race that can occur when we want to be
        sure that we are watching a directory.

        IN_DONT_FOLLOW -- don't follow a symlink.  In combination
        with IN_ONLYDIR we can make sure that we don't watch the target of
        symlinks.

The issues the flags fix came up when writing the gnome-vfs inotify
backend.  Default behaviour is unchanged.

5650b736ad [PATCH] Add timestamp field to process events
This adds a timestamp field to the events sent via the process event
connector.  The timestamp allows listeners to accurately account the
duration(s) between a process' events and offers strong means with which
to determine the order of events with respect to a given task while also
avoiding the addition of per-task data.

This alters the size and layout of the event structure and hence would
break compatibility if process events connector as it stands in 2.6.15-rc2
were released as a mainline kernel.

64123fd42c [PATCH] Add getnstimestamp function
There are several functions that might seem appropriate for a timestamp:

get_cycles()
current_kernel_time()
do_gettimeofday()
<read jiffies/jiffies_64>

Each has problems with combinations of SMP-safety, low resolution, and
monotonicity. This patch adds a new function that returns a monotonic SMP-safe
timestamp with nanosecond resolution where available.

Changes:
	Split timestamp into separate patch
	Moved to kernel/time.c
	Renamed to getnstimestamp
	Fixed unintended-pointer-arithmetic bug

894ec8707c [PATCH] Fix listxattr() for generic security attributes
Commit f549d6c18c introduced a generic
fallback for security xattrs, but appears to include a subtle bug.

Gentoo users with kernels with selinux compiled in, and coreutils compiled
with acl support, noticed that they could not copy files on tmpfs using
'cp'.

cp (compiled with acl support) copies the file, lists the extended
attributes on the old file, copies them all to the new file, and then
exits.  However the listxattr() calls were failing with this odd behaviour:

llistxattr("a.out", (nil), 0)           = 17
llistxattr("a.out", 0x7fffff8c6cb0, 17) = -1 ERANGE (Numerical result out of
range)

I believe this is a simple problem in the logic used to check the buffer
sizes; if the user sends a buffer the exact size of the data, then its ok
:)

This change solves the problem.

c3f5902325 [PATCH] Fix RCU race in access of nohz_cpu_mask
Accessing nohz_cpu_mask before incrementing rcp->cur is racy.  It can cause
tickless idle CPUs to be included in rsp->cpumask, which will extend
graceperiods unnecessarily.

Fix this race.  It has been tested using extensions to RCU torture module
that forces various CPUs to become idle.
