Yoichi Yuasa eae936e21b [PATCH] serial: update NEC VR4100 series serial support
- Changed the return value of unknown type to NULL.

- Deleted the NULL check of dev_id in siu_interrupt().

- Deleted the NULL check of port->membase in siu_shutdown().

- Added the NULL check of port->membase to siu_startup().

- Removed early_uart_ops. Now using vr41xx_siu standerd one.

- Changed KSEG1ADDR() in siu_console_setup() to ioremap().

- When uart_add_one_port() failed, changed to set NULL to port->dev.

Gerald Schaefer f26d583e41 [PATCH] s390: deadlock in appldata
The system might hang when using appldata_mem with high I/O traffic and a
large number of devices.  The spinlocks bdev_lock and swaplock are acquired
via calls to si_meminfo() and si_swapinfo() from a tasklet, i.e.  interrupt
context, which can lead to a deadlock.  Replace tasklet with work queue.

Martin Schwidefsky 595bf2aaca [PATCH] s390: in_interrupt vs. in_atomic
The condition for no context in do_exception checks for hard and soft
interrupts by using in_interrupt() but not for preemption.  This is bad for
the users of __copy_from/to_user_inatomic because the fault handler might call
schedule although the preemption count is != 0.  Use in_atomic() instead
in_interrupt().

Bodo Stroesser c5c3a6d8fe [PATCH] s390: uml ptrace fixes
To make UML build and run on s390, I needed to do these two little
changes:

1) UML includes some of the subarch's (s390) headers. I had to
   change one of them with the following one-liner, to make this
   compile. AFAICS, this change doesn't break compilation of s390
   itself.

2) UML needs to intercept syscalls via ptrace to invalidate the syscall,
   read syscall's parameters and write the result with the result of
   UML's syscall processing. Also, UML needs to make sure, that the host
   does no syscall restart processing. On i386 for example, this can be
   done by writing -1 to orig_eax on the 2nd syscall interception
   (orig_eax is the syscall number, which after the interception is used
   as a "interrupt was a syscall" flag only.
   Unfortunately, s390 holds syscall number and syscall result in gpr2 and
   its "interrupt was a syscall" flag (trap) is unreachable via ptrace.
   So I changed the host to set trap to -1, if the syscall number is changed
   to an invalid value on the first syscall interception.

Martin Schwidefsky 778959db97 [PATCH] s390: ptrace peek and poke
The special cases of peek and poke on acrs[15] and the fpc register are not
handled correctly.  A poke on acrs[15] will clobber the 4 bytes after the
access registers in the thread_info structure.  That happens to be the kernel
stack pointer.  A poke on the fpc with an invalid value is not caught by the
validity check.  On the next context switch the broken fpc value will cause a
program check in the kernel.  Improving the checks in peek and poke fixes
this.

Qu Fuping 854715be73 [PATCH] mpage_end_io_write() I/O error handling fix
When fsync() runs wait_on_page_writeback_range() it only inspects pages which
are actually under I/O (PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK).  If a page completed I/O
prior to wait_on_page_writeback_range() looking at it, it is supposed to have
recorded its I/O error state in the address_space.

But mpage_mpage_end_io_write() forgot to set the address_space error flag in
this case.

The IXDP2800 bootloader does not disable IRQs before jumping into

the system when we do an early call to trap_init() and irq handlers
have not yet been registered. This patch disables IRQs before we

Patch from Todd Poynor

PXA27x sleep fixes:
* set additional sleep/wakeup registers for Mainstone boards.
* move CKEN=0 to pxa25x-specific code; that value is harmful on pxa27x.
* save/restore additional registers, including some found necessary for
C5 processors and/or newer blob versions.
* enable future support of additional sleep modes for PXA27x (eg,
standby, deep sleep).
* split off cpu-specific sleep processing between pxa27x and pxa25x into
separate files (partly in preparation for additional sleep modes).

Albrecht Dre 105bb2698b [PATCH] ARM: 2694/1: [s3c2410/dma] release irq properly to fix kernel oops
Patch from Albrecht Dre

Problem:
When a module requests a DMA channel via the function s3c2410_dma_request(), this function requests the appropriate irq under the name of the client module. When the client module is unloaded, it calls s3c2410_dma_free() which does not free the irq. Consequently, when e.g. running "cat /proc/interrupts", the irq owner points to freed memory, leading to a kernel oops.

brking@us.ibm.com 521314c122 [SCSI] sg: Command completion after remove oops
A problem exists todayin the sg driver that if an SG_IO request is
outstanding to a device when it is removed from the system. The
system may oops if that command completes later in time.

1. sg_remove gets called
2. sg_remove calls sg_finish_req_req on all pending requests
   This removes the Sg_request's from the headrp list in the Sg_fd
3. The sleeping SG_IO ioctl is woken. It does nothing and returns.
4. The caller closes the fd, which invokes sg_release
5. sg_release calls sg_remove_sfp. It finds no outstanding commands
   since the headrp list is empty, so it calls __sg_remove_sfp,
   which frees the sfp.
6. Now when sg_cmd_done gets called, sg uses upper_private_data in
   the Scsi_Request, which should point to the srp, which has been
   freed, so it points to freed memory.
7. sg then dereferences the srp pointer to get the sfp, and we oops.

The fix is to NULL out the upper_private_data field in this path,
which sg_cmd_done already checks for, which will prevent the oops
from occurring.

A couple of rules that we need to follow:

1. Preempt should now disabled over idle routines. Should only be enabled
to call schedule() then disabled again.

3. When cpu_idle finds (need_resched() == 'true'), it should call schedule().
It should not call schedule() otherwise.

Also fix interrupt locking around the need_resched() and cpu stop state
so that there is no race condition.

Nathan Lynch c92715b3c2 [SCSI] fix slab corruption during ipr probe
With CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y I see slab corruption messages during boot on
pSeries machines with IPR adapters with any 2.6.12-rc kernel.

The change which seems to have introduced the problem is "SCSI: revamp

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bk-commits-head&m=111093946426333&w=2

In order to revert that in a 2.6.12-rc1 tree, I had to revert "target
code updates to support scanned targets" first:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bk-commits-head&m=111094132524649&w=2

With both patches reverted, the corruption messages go away.

I did some digging and the problem seems to be a refcounting issue in
__scsi_add_device.  The target gets freed in scsi_target_reap, and
then __scsi_add_device tries to do another device_put on it.

Great!  FWIW I've briefly tested a modified version of usbatm using
the list head in struct urb instead of creating a wrapper struct, and I
haven't seen any failures yet.  So I tend to believe that your "should
be" actually means "is" :)

OK then how about the following (essentially documentation) patch?
