22c1ea44f0 [PATCH] nfsacl: Solaris VxFS compatibility fix
Here is a compatibility fix between Linux and Solaris when used with VxFS
filesystems: Solaris usually accepts acl entries in any order, but with
VxFS it replies with NFSERR_INVAL when it sees a four-entry acl that is not
in canonical form.  It may also fail with other non-canonical acls -- I
can't tell, because that case never triggers: We only send non-canonical
acls when we fake up an ACL_MASK entry.

Instead of adding fake ACL_MASK entries at the end, inserting them in the
correct position makes Solaris+VxFS happy.  The Linux client and server
sides don't care about entry order.  The three-entry-acl special case in
which we need a fake ACL_MASK entry was handled in xdr_nfsace_encode.  The
patch moves this into nfsacl_encode.

19cba8abd6 [PATCH] v9fs: remove additional buffer allocation from v9fs_file_read and v9fs_file_write
v9fs_file_read and v9fs_file_write use kmalloc to allocate buffers as big
as the data buffer received as parameter.  kmalloc cannot be used to
allocate buffers bigger than 128K, so reading/writing data in chunks bigger
than 128k fails.

This patch reorganizes v9fs_file_read and v9fs_file_write to allocate only
buffers as big as the maximum data that can be sent in one 9P message.

ad6ce87e5b [PATCH] dell_rbu: changes in packet update mechanism
In the current dell_rbu code ver 2.0 the packet update mechanism makes the
user app dump every individual packet in to the driver.

This adds in efficiency as every packet update makes the
/sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading and data files to disappear and reappear
again.  Thus the user app needs to wait for the files to reappear to dump
another packet.  This slows down the packet update tremendously in case of
large number of packets.  I am submitting a new patch for dell_rbu which will
change the way we do packet updates;

In the new method the user app will create a new single file which has already
packetized the rbu image and all the packets are now staged in this file.

This driver also creates a new entry in
/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size ; the user needs to echo the packet
size here before downloading the packet file.

The user should do the following:

 create one single file which has all the packets stacked together.
 echo the packet size in to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size.
 echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
 cat the packetfile > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data
 echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading

The driver takes the file which came through /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data
and takes chunks of paket_size data from it and place in contiguous memory.

This makes packet update process very efficient and fast.  As all the packet
update happens in one single operation.  The user can still read back the
downloaded file from /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data.

d4875b049b [IPSEC] Fix block size/MTU bugs in ESP
This patch fixes the following bugs in ESP:

* Fix transport mode MTU overestimate.  This means that the inner MTU
  is smaller than it needs be.  Worse yet, given an input MTU which
  is a multiple of 4 it will always produce an estimate which is not
  a multiple of 4.

  For example, given a standard ESP/3DES/MD5 transform and an MTU of
  1500, the resulting MTU for transport mode is 1462 when it should
  be 1464.

  The reason for this is because IP header lengths are always a multiple
  of 4 for IPv4 and 8 for IPv6.

* Ensure that the block size is at least 4.  This is required by RFC2406
  and corresponds to what the esp_output function does.  At the moment
  this only affects crypto_null as its block size is 1.

As Henrik Nordstrom pointed out, all our efforts with "split endian" (i.e.

This patch steals the highest bit of nfattr.nfa_type to indicate whether

46113830a1 [PATCH] Fix signal sending in usbdevio on async URB completion
If a process issues an URB from userspace and (starts to) terminate
before the URB comes back, we run into the issue described above.  This
is because the urb saves a pointer to "current" when it is posted to the
device, but there's no guarantee that this pointer is still valid
afterwards.

In fact, there are three separate issues:

1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be
   completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device.

2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct,
   task_struct->sighand could have gone meanwhile.

3) Even if the process is perfectly fine, permissions may have changed,
   and we can no longer send it a signal.

So what we do instead, is to save the PID and uid's of the process, and
introduce a new kill_proc_info_as_uid() function.

5d8e1b181c [SPARC64]: Fix Ultra5, Ultra60, et al. boot failures.
On the boot processor, we need to do the move onto the Linux trap
table a little bit differently else we'll take unhandlable faults in
the firmware address space.

Previously we would do the following:

1) Disable PSTATE_IE in %pstate.
2) Set %tba by hand to sparc64_ttable_tl0
3) Initialize alternate, mmu, and interrupt global
   trap registers.
4) Call prom_set_traptable()

That doesn't work very well actually with the way we boot the kernel
VM these days.  It worked by luck on many systems because the firmware
accesses for the prom_set_traptable() call happened to be loaded into
the TLB already, something we cannot assume.

So the new scheme is this:

1) Clear PSTATE_IE in %pstate and set %pil to 15
2) Call prom_set_traptable()
3) Initialize alternate, mmu, and interrupt global
   trap registers.

and this works quite well.  This sequence has been moved into a
callable function in assembler named setup-trap_table().  The idea is
that eventually trampoline.S can use this code as well.  That isn't
possible currently due to some complications, but eventually we should
be able to do it.

Thanks to Meelis Roos for the Ultra5 boot failure report.

The current code "over-aligns" the stack pointer so that the stack frame

is that on function entry ((sp + 4) & 15) == 0, which matches what would
happen if the stack were aligned before a "call" instruction.

867f8b4e47 [PATCH] ide: Workaround PM problem
The logic in ide_do_request() doesn't guarantee that both drives will be
serviced after a call.  It may "forget" to service one in some
circumstances, including when one of the drive is suspended (it will
eventually fail to service the slave when the master is suspended for
example).  This prevents the wakeup requests that gets queued on wakeup
from sleep from beeing serviced in some cases when 2 drives are sharing
an IDE bus.

The problem is deep enough in the way this code works (and there are
probably a few other problematic but rare corner cases) and fixing it
would require some major rethinking of the way IDE decides which channel
to service.  This is not 2.6.14 material.  However, in the meantime,
Bart has accepted this simple workaround that will fix the crash on
wakeup from sleep since this specific corner case is actually hitting
users to get into 2.6.14.

3dd083255d [PATCH] x86_64: Set up safe page tables during resume
The following patch makes swsusp avoid the possible temporary corruption
of page translation tables during resume on x86-64.  This is achieved by
creating a copy of the relevant page tables that will not be modified by
swsusp and can be safely used by it on resume.

The problem is that during resume on x86-64 swsusp may temporarily
corrupt the page tables used for the direct mapping of RAM.  If that
happens, a page fault occurs and cannot be handled properly, which leads
to the solid hang of the affected system.  This leads to the loss of the
system's state from before suspend and may result in the loss of data or
the corruption of filesystems, so it is a serious issue.  Also, it
appears to happen quite often (for me, as often as 50% of the time).

The problem is related to the fact that (at least) one of the PMD
entries used in the direct memory mapping (starting at PAGE_OFFSET)
points to a page table the physical address of which is much greater
than the physical address of the PMD entry itself.  Moreover,
unfortunately, the physical address of the page table before suspend
(i.e.  the one stored in the suspend image) happens to be different to
the physical address of the corresponding page table used during resume
(i.e.  the one that is valid right before swsusp_arch_resume() in
arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend_asm.S is executed).  Thus while the image is
restored, the "offending" PMD entry gets overwritten, so it does not
point to the right physical address any more (i.e.  there's no page
table at the address pointed to by it, because it points to the address
the page table has been at during suspend).  Consequently, if the PMD
entry is used later on, and it _is_ used in the process of copying the
image pages, a page fault occurs, but it cannot be handled in the normal
way and the system hangs.

In principle we can call create_resume_mapping() from
swsusp_arch_resume() (ie.  from suspend_asm.S), but then the memory
allocations in create_resume_mapping(), resume_pud_mapping(), and
resume_pmd_mapping() must be made carefully so that we use _only_
NosaveFree pages in them (the other pages are overwritten by the loop in
swsusp_arch_resume()).  Additionally, we are in atomic context at that
time, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL.  Moreover, if one of the allocations
fails, we should free all of the allocated pages, so we need to trace
them somehow.

All of this is done in the appended patch, except that the functions
populating the page tables are located in arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend.c
rather than in init.c.  It may be done in a more elegan way in the
future, with the help of some swsusp patches that are in the works now.

[AK: move some externs into headers, renamed a function]

028c0cc16e [PATCH] uml: cleanup byte order macros for COW driver
After restoring the existing code, make it work also when included in
kernelspace code (which isn't currently the case, but at least this will prevent
people from "fixing" it as just happened).
Whitespace is fixed in next patch - it cluttered the diff too much.

855ec613ca [PATCH] uml: restore include breakage, breaking binary format of COW driver
Commit 44456d37b5, between 2.6.13-rc3 and -rc4,
was a "nice cleanup" which broke something. Revert the offending part.

It broke because:
a) because this part doesn't fall under the description
b) the author didn't know what he was doing here
c) the author didn't try to compile the existing code and see that it worked
   perfectly.
d) the author didn't ask us what was happening
e) you didn't either, and somebody there should have learned that UML is a bit
   different.

In fact, UML is special in linking to host libc and using its includes.

In particular, since host includes always define both __BIG_ENDIAN and
__LITTLE_ENDIAN, ntohll() macros started thinking to be in a big-endian world;
and on-disk compatibility was broken.

Many thanks go to Nix for reporting the problem and correctly diagnosing an
endianness problem.

Btw, this patch restores the previous code, which worked; but the definitions
would be uncorrect if used in kernelspace files.

Next patch addresses that.
