// holds tasklist_lock + ->siglock
       /*

       p->ioprio = current->ioprio;

Why?  ->ioprio was already copied in dup_task_struct().  I guess this is
needed to ensure that the child can't escape
sys_ioprio_set(IOPRIO_WHO_{PGRP,USER}), yes?

In that case we don't need ->siglock held, and the comment should be
updated.

I am not sure this patch is correct: I can't understand what the current
code does, and I don't know what it was supposed to do.

The comment says:

		 * can't change policy, except between SCHED_NORMAL
		 * and SCHED_BATCH:

The code:

		if (((policy != SCHED_NORMAL && p->policy != SCHED_BATCH) &&
			(policy != SCHED_BATCH && p->policy != SCHED_NORMAL)) &&

But this is equivalent to:

		if ( (is_rt_policy(policy) && has_rt_policy(p)) &&

which means something different.  We can't _decrease_ the current
->rt_priority with such a check (if rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO] == 0).

Probably, it was supposed to be:

		if (	!(policy == SCHED_NORMAL && p->policy == SCHED_BATCH)  &&
			!(policy == SCHED_BATCH  && p->policy == SCHED_NORMAL)

this matches the comment, but strange: it doesn't allow to _drop_ the
realtime priority when rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO] == 0.

I think the right check would be:

		/* can't set/change rt policy */
		if (is_rt_policy(policy) &&
				policy != p->policy &&
				!rlim_rtprio)
			return -EPERM;

Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
timer interrupt handler with this change.

Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update.  Passing ticks
get rid of this redundant calculation.  Also there are another redundancy
pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.

This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c needless.  So this patch removes
it.

As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies.  (This patch does not really
remove wall_jiffies.  It would be another cleanup patch)

There was an I/O error that prevented reading the last partial block of
large files in an ISO9660 filesystem.  The error was generated when a file
comprised more than one section and had a size that was not an exact
multiple of the filesystem block size.  This patch removes the check (and
failure) for reading into the last partial block (and possibly beyond) for
multiple-section files.

It worked in my testing to prevent reading beyond the end of the section;
my first patch just incremented the sect_size block count for a partial
block and continued doing the check.  But there is a commment in the source
code about reading beyond the end of the file to fill a page cache.
Failing to access beyond the section would prevent reading beyond the end
of the file.

When a posix_cpu_nsleep() sleep is interrupted by a signal more than twice, it
incorrectly reports the sleep time remaining to the user.  Because
posix_cpu_nsleep() doesn't report back to the user when it's called from

This patch, which applies after previous one, moves the nanosleep() function
from posix_cpu_nsleep() to do_cpu_nanosleep() and cleans up the flags handling
appropriately.

The clock_nanosleep() function does not return the time remaining when the
sleep is interrupted by a signal.

This patch creates a new call out, compat_clock_nanosleep_restart(), which
handles returning the remaining time after a sleep is interrupted.  This
patch revives clock_nanosleep_restart().  It is now accessed via the new
call out.  The compat_clock_nanosleep_restart() is used for compatibility
access.

Since this is implemented in compatibility mode the normal path is
virtually unaffected - no real performance impact.

The problem is that close() syscalls can call a file system's flush
handler, which in turn might sleep interruptibly and ultimately pass back
an -ERESTARTSYS return value.  This happens for files backed by an
interruptible NFS mount under nfs_file_flush() when a large file has just
been written and nfs_wait_bit_interruptible() detects that there is a
signal pending.

I have a test case where the "strace" command is used to attach to a
process sleeping in such a close().  Since the SIGSTOP is forced onto the
victim process (removing it from the thread's "blocked" mask in
force_sig_info()), the RPC wait is interrupted and the close() is
terminated early.

But the file table entry has already been cleared before the flush handler
was called.  Thus, when the syscall is restarted, the file descriptor
appears closed and an EBADF error is returned (which is wrong).  What's
worse, there is the hypothetical case where another thread of a
multi-threaded application might have reused the file descriptor, in which
case that file would be mistakenly closed.

The bottom line is that close() syscalls are not restartable, and thus
-ERESTARTSYS return values should be mapped to -EINTR.  This is consistent
with the close(2) manual page.  The fix is below.

Both __kfifo_put() and __kfifo_get() have header comments stating that if
there is but one concurrent reader and one concurrent writer, locking is not
necessary.  This is almost the case, but a couple of memory barriers are
needed.  Another option would be to change the header comments to remove the
bit about locking not being needed, and to change the those callers who
currently don't use locking to add the required locking.  The attachment
analyzes this approach, but the patch below seems simpler.
