SCSI: fix transfer direction in sd (kernel panic when ejecting iPod)
sd_init_command could issue WRITE requests with zero buffer length.
This may lead to kernel panic or oops with some SCSI low-level drivers.
Seen with the command "eject /dev/sdX" when disconnecting an iPod:

I reported a problem and gave hints to the solution, but nobody seemed
to react. So I prepared a patch against 2.6.14.4.
Tested on 2.6.14.4 with "ip monitor addr" and with the program
attached, while adding and removing IPv6 address. Both programs didn't
receive any messages. Tested 2.6.14.4 + this patch, and both programs
received add and remove messages.

From Mike Miller <mikem@beardog.cca.cpqcorp.net>
This patch fixes a bug that breaks hpacucli, a command line interface
for the HP Array Config Utility. Without this fix the utility will
not detect any controllers in the system. I thought I had already fixed
this, but I guess not.

You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<if>/<whatever> file, then
wait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in
hope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table. Then fill it with pointers to your
function. Then do read from file you've opened and if you are lucky,
you'll get it called as ->proc_handler() in kernel mode.
So this is at least an Oops and possibly more. It does depend on an
interface going away though, so less of a security risk than it would
otherwise be.

asm-arm/bitops.h
Patch from Ian Campbell
Sparse complains about the definition of generic_fls in asm-arm/bitops.h:
CHECK /home/icampbell/devel/kernel/2.6/arch/arm/mach-pxa/viper.c
include2/asm/bitops.h:350:34: error: marked inline, but without a definition
The definition is unnecessary since linux/bitops.h defines generic_fls before including asm/bitops.h and asm/bitops.h should not be included directly. There are still some places where asm/bitops.h is directly included, but I think that code should be fixed. I was a little wary of the patch for this reason but lubbock, mainstone and assabet all build OK and so do my in house boards...
ARM is the only arch with the generic_fls prototype in this way.

Fix a bug which was reported and diagnosed by
Stefan Jones <stefan.jones@churchillrandoms.co.uk>
IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects. There's no way to destroy
this cache, so when we discard an overall idr tree we end up leaking some
memory.
Add and use idr_destroy() for this. v9fs and infiniband also need to use
idr_destroy() to avoid leaks.
Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload(). Which is probably
better. Later.

This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new
parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem
allocator should be within the requested limit.
We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit,
alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit
is the only api used for swiotlb.
The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been
changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that
would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use
alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a
cleanup.
With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64
arches.

The hugetlb pages are currently pre-faulted. At the time of mmap of
hugepages, we populate the new PTEs. It is possible that HW has already
cached some of the unused PTEs internally. These stale entries never
get a chance to be purged in existing control flow.
This patch extends the check in page fault code for hugepages. Check if
a faulted address falls with in size for the hugetlb file backing it.
We return VM_FAULT_MINOR for these cases (assuming that the arch
specific page-faulting code purges the stale entry for the archs that
need it).

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

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.

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.

... otherwise, things like alpha and sparc64 break and break
badly. They define cpu_possible_map to something else in smp.h
*AFTER* having included cpumask.h.
If that puppy is a macro, expansion will happen at the actual
caller, when we'd already seen #define cpu_possible_map ... and we will
get the right thing used.
As an inline helper it will be tokenized before we get to that
define and that's it; no matter what we define later, it won't affect
anything. We get modules with dependency on cpu_possible_map instead
of the right symbol (phys_cpu_present_map in case of sparc64), or outright
link errors if they are built-in.

Glibc is about to get some new high precision timer stuff that relies on
the standard timebase of the PPC architecture.
However, some (rare & old) CPUs do not have such timebase and it is a
bit annoying to have your stuff just crash because you are running on
the wrong CPU...
This exposes to userland a CPU feature bit that tells that the current
processor doesn't have a standard timebase. It's negative logic so that
glibc will still "just work" on older kernels (it will just be unhappy
on those old CPUs but that doesn't really matter as distro tend to
update glibc & kernel at the same time).

Interestingly enough, ppc32 had broken timekeeping for ages... It
worked, but probably drifted a bit more than could be explained by the
actual bad precision of the timebase calibration. We discovered that
recently when somebody figured out that the common code was using
CLOCK_TICK_RATE to correct the timekeeing, and ppc32 had a completely
bogus value for it.
This patch turns it into something saner. Probably not as good as doing
something based on the actual timebase frequency precision but I'll
leave that sort of math to others. This at least makes it better for
the common HZ values.
