1e65174a33 Add some basic .gitignore files
This still leaves driver and architecture-specific subdirectories alone,
but gets rid of the bulk of the "generic" generated files that we should

251b928cdf [ARM] 3021/1: Interrupt 0 bug fix for ixp4xx
Patch from Kenneth Tan

The get_irqnr_and_base subroutine of ixp4xx does not take interrupt 0 condition into account properly. We should not perform "subs" here. The Z flag will be set when interrupt 0 occur, which resulting "movne r1, sp" in the caller routine (irq_handler) not being executed.

When interrupt 0 occur:
o if CONFIG_CPU_IXP46X is not set, "subs" will set the Z flag and return
o if CONFIG_CPU_IXP46X is set, codes in upper interrupt handling will be trigerred. But since this is not supper interrupt, the "cmp" in the upper interrupt handling portion will set the Z flag and return

4faa528528 [PATCH] aio: revert lock_kiocb()
lock_kiocb() was introduced to serialize retrying and cancellation.  In the
process of doing so it tried to sleep waiting for KIF_LOCKED while holding
the ctx_lock spinlock.  Recent fixes have ensured that multiple concurrent
retries won't be attempted for a given iocb.  Cancel has other problems and
has no significant in-tree users that have been complaining about it.  So
for the immediate future we'll revert sleeping with the lock held and will
address proper cancellation and retry serialization in the future.

13b58ee518 [PATCH] USB: fix bug in handling of highspeed usb HID devices
During the development of an USB device I found a bug in the handling of
Highspeed HID devices in the kernel.

What happened?

Highspeed HID devices are correctly recognized and enumerated by the
kernel. But even if usbhid kernel module is loaded, no HID reports are
received by the kernel.

The output of the hardware USB analyzer told me that the host doesn't
even poll for interrupt IN transfers (even the "interrupt in" USB
transfer are polled by the host).

After some debugging in hid-core.c I've found the reason.

In case of a highspeed device, the endpoint interval is re-calculated in
driver/usb/input/hid-core.c:

line 1669:
             /* handle potential highspeed HID correctly */
             interval = endpoint->bInterval;
             if (dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH)
                   interval = 1 << (interval - 1);

Basically this calculation is correct (refer to USB 2.0 spec, 9.6.6).
This new calculated value of "interval" is used as input for
usb_fill_int_urb:

line 1685:

            usb_fill_int_urb(hid->urbin, dev, pipe, hid->inbuf, 0,
                   hid_irq_in, hid, interval);

Unfortunately the same calculation as above is done a second time in
usb_fill_int_urb in the file include/linux/usb.h:

line 933:
        if (dev->speed == USB_SPEED_HIGH)
                urb->interval = 1 << (interval - 1);
        else
                urb->interval = interval;

This means, that if the endpoint descriptor (of a high speed device)
specifies e.g. bInterval = 7, the urb->interval gets the value:

hid-core.c: interval = 1 << (7-1) = 0x40 = 64
urb->interval = 1 << (interval -1) = 1 << (63) = integer overflow

Because of this the value of urb->interval is sometimes negative and is
rejected in core/urb.c:
line 353:
                /* too small? */
                if (urb->interval <= 0)
                        return -EINVAL;

The conclusion is, that the recalculaton of the interval (which is
necessary for highspeed) should not be made twice, because this is
simply wrong. ;-)

Re-calculation in usb_fill_int_urb makes more sense, because it is the
most general approach. So it would make sense to remove it from
hid-core.c.

Because in hid-core.c the interval variable is only used for calling
usb_fill_int_urb, it is no problem to remove the highspeed
re-calculation in this file.

Increased use of scatter-gather by usb-storage driver after 2.6.13 has
exposed a buggy codepath in isp116x-hcd, which was probably never
visited before: bug happened only for those urbs, for which
URB_SHORT_NOT_OK was set AND short transfer occurred.

The fix attached was tested in 2 ways: (a) it fixed failing
initialization of a flash drive with an embedded hub; (b) the fix was
tested with 'usbtest' against a modified g_zero driver (on top of
net2280), which generated short bulk IN transfers of various lengths
including multiples and non-multiples of max_packet_length.

2cc78eb52b Increase default RCU batching sharply
Dipankar made RCU limit the batch size to improve latency, but that
approach is unworkable: it can cause the RCU queues to grow without
bounds, since the batch limiter ended up limiting the callbacks.

So make the limit much higher, and start planning on instead limiting
the batch size by doing RCU callbacks more often if the queue looks like
it might be growing too long.

0aec4867dc [PATCH] SVGATextMode fix
Fix bug 5441.

I didn't know about messy programs like svgatextmode...  Couldn't this be
integrated in some linux/drivers/video/console/svgacon.c ?...  So because
of the existence of the svgatextmode program, the kernel is not supposed to
touch to CRT_OVERFLOW/SYNC_END/DISP/DISP_END/OFFSET ?

Disabling the check in vgacon_resize() might help indeed, but I'm really
not sure whether it will work for any chipset: in my patch, CRT registers
are set at each console switch, since stty rows/cols apply to consoles
separately...

The attached solution is to keep the test, but if it fails, we assume that
the caller knows what it does (i.e.  it is svgatextmode) and then disable
any further call to vgacon_doresize.  Svgatextmode is usually used to
_expand_ the display, not to shrink it.  And it is harmless in the case of
a too big stty rows/cols: the display will just be cropped.  I tested it on
my laptop, and it works fine with svgatextmode.

A better solution would be that svgatextmode explicitely tells the kernel
not to care about video timing, but for this an interface needs be defined
and svgatextmode be patched.

b24d18aa74 [PATCH] list: add missing rcu_dereference on first element
It seems that all the list_*_rcu primitives are missing a memory barrier
on the very first dereference.  For example,

#define list_for_each_rcu(pos, head) \
	for (pos = (head)->next; prefetch(pos->next), pos != (head); \
		pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next))

It will go something like:

	pos = (head)->next

	prefetch(pos->next)

	pos != (head)

	do stuff

We're missing a barrier here.

	pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next)

		fetch pos->next

		barrier given by rcu_dereference(pos->next)

		store pos

Without the missing barrier, the pos->next value may turn out to be stale.
In fact, if "do stuff" were also dereferencing pos and relying on
list_for_each_rcu to provide the barrier then it may also break.

So here is a patch to make sure that we have a barrier for the first
element in the list.

3d80636a0d Fix memory ordering bug in page reclaim
As noticed by Nick Piggin, we need to make sure that we check the page
count before we check for PageDirty, since the dirty check is only valid
if the count implies that we're the only possible ones holding the page.

We always did do this, but the code needs a read-memory-barrier to make
sure that the orderign is also honored by the CPU.

(The writer side is ordered due to the atomic decrement and test on the
page count, see the discussion on linux-kernel)

7c72ce8187 [SCSI] Fix leak of Scsi_Cmnds
When a request is deferred in scsi_init_io because the sg table could not
be allocated, the associated scsi_cmnd is not released and the request is
not marked with REQ_DONTPREP.  When the command is retried, if
scsi_prep_fn decides to kill it then the scsi_cmnd will never be released.

This patch (as573) changes scsi_init_io so that it calls scsi_put_command
before deferring a request.
