mm/backing-dev.c: remove recently-added WARN_ON()

2010-08-13T20:50:39+00:00

commit 69fc208be5b7eb18d22d1eca185b201400fd5ffc upstream.

On second thoughts, this is just going to disturb people while telling us
things which we already knew.

bdi: register sysfs bdi device only once per queue

2010-08-13T20:50:38+00:00

commit f1d0b063d993527754f062c589b73f125024d216 upstream.

Devices which share the same queue, like floppies and mtd devices, get
registered multiple times in the bdi interface, but bdi accounts only the
last registered device of the devices sharing one queue.

On remove, all earlier registered devices leak, stay around in sysfs, and
cause "duplicate filename" errors if the devices are re-created.

This prevents the creation of multiple bdi interfaces per queue, and the
bdi device will carry the dev_t name of the block device which is the
first one registered, of the pool of devices using the same queue.

xen: drop xen_sched_clock in favour of using plain wallclock time

2010-08-13T20:50:38+00:00

commit 8a22b9996b001c88f2bfb54c6de6a05fc39e177a upstream.

xen_sched_clock only counts unstolen time.  In principle this should
be useful to the Linux scheduler so that it knows how much time a process
actually consumed.  But in practice this doesn't work very well as the
scheduler expects the sched_clock time to be synchronized between
cpus.  It also uses sched_clock to measure the time a task spends
sleeping, in which case "unstolen time" isn't meaningful.

So just use plain xen_clocksource_read to return wallclock nanoseconds
for sched_clock.

jfs: don't allow os2 xattr namespace overlap with others

2010-08-13T20:50:38+00:00

commit aca0fa34bdaba39bfddddba8ca70dba4782e8fe6 upstream.

It's currently possible to bypass xattr namespace access rules by
prefixing valid xattr names with "os2.", since the os2 namespace stores
extended attributes in a legacy format with no prefix.

This patch adds checking to deny access to any valid namespace prefix
following "os2.".

signalfd: fill in ssi_int for posix timers and message queues

2010-08-13T20:50:37+00:00

commit a2a20c412c86e0bb46a9ab0dd31bcfe6d201b913 upstream.

If signalfd is used to consume a signal generated by a POSIX interval
timer or POSIX message queue, the ssi_int field does not reflect the data
(sigevent->sigev_value) supplied to timer_create(2) or mq_notify(3).  (The
ssi_ptr field, however, is filled in.)

This behavior differs from signalfd's treatment of sigqueue-generated
signals -- see the default case in signalfd_copyinfo.  It also gives
results that differ from the case when a signal is handled conventionally
via a sigaction-registered handler.

So, set signalfd_siginfo->ssi_int in the remaining cases (__SI_TIMER,
__SI_MESGQ) where ssi_ptr is set.

akpm: a non-back-compatible change.  Merge into -stable to minimise the
number of kernels which are in the field and which miss this feature.

fs/ecryptfs/file.c: introduce missing free

2010-08-13T20:50:36+00:00

commit ceeab92971e8af05c1e81a4ff2c271124b55bb9b upstream.

The comments in the code indicate that file_info should be released if the
function fails.  This releasing is done at the label out_free, not out.

eCryptfs: Handle ioctl calls with unlocked and compat functions

2010-08-13T20:50:36+00:00

commit c43f7b8fb03be8bcc579bfc4e6ab70eac887ab55 upstream.

Lower filesystems that only implemented unlocked_ioctl weren't being
passed ioctl calls because eCryptfs only checked for
lower_file->f_op->ioctl and returned -ENOTTY if it was NULL.

eCryptfs shouldn't implement ioctl(), since it doesn't require the BKL.
This patch introduces ecryptfs_unlocked_ioctl() and
ecryptfs_compat_ioctl(), which passes the calls on to the lower file
system.

md/raid10: fix deadlock with unaligned read during resync

2010-08-13T20:50:36+00:00

commit 51e9ac77035a3dfcb6fc0a88a0d80b6f99b5edb1 upstream.

If the 'bio_split' path in raid10-read is used while
resync/recovery is happening it is possible to deadlock.
Fix this be elevating ->nr_waiting for the duration of both
parts of the split request.

This fixes a bug that has been present since 2.6.22
but has only started manifesting recently for unknown reasons.
It is suitable for and -stable since then.

PCI: disable MSI on VIA K8M800

2010-08-13T20:50:35+00:00

commit 549e15611b4ac1de51ef0e0a79c2704f50a638a2 upstream.

MSI delivery from on-board ahci controller doesn't work on K8M800.  At
this point, it's unclear whether the culprit is with the ahci
controller or the host bridge.  Given the track record and considering
the rather minimal impact of MSI, disabling it seems reasonable.
