Unlike the other tty comment patch this one has code changes.  Specifically
it limits the queue size for a tty to 64K characters (128Kbytes) worst case
even if the tty is ignoring tty->throttle.  This is because certain drivers
don't honour the throttle value correctly, although it is a useful

Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to
dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier.  Make
this top cpus file read-only.

On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.

If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use
of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed
in the top cpuset.  This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels
that didn't have cpusets enabled.

In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map.  Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed
by their cpuset.

If we

  - restart with one (or more) drive(s) missing
  - make some changes
  - pause, so that they array gets marked 'clean',
the event count on the superblock of included drives
will be the same as that of the removed drives.
So adding the removed drive back in will cause it
to be included with no resync.

To avoid this, we only update the eventcount backwards when the array
is not degraded.  In this case there can (should) be no non-connected

1) When we allocated last fragment in ufs_truncate, we read page, check
   if block mapped to address, and if not trying to allocate it.  This is
   wrong behaviour, fragment may be NOT allocated, but mapped, this
   happened because of "block map" function not checked allocated fragment
   or not, it just take address of the first fragment in the block, add
   offset of fragment and return result, this is correct behaviour in
   almost all situation except call from ufs_truncate.

2) Almost all implementation of UFS, which I can investigate have such
   "defect": if you have full disk, and try truncate file, for example 3GB
   to 2MB, and have hole in this region, truncate return -ENOSPC.  I tried
   evade from this problem, but "block allocation" algorithm is tied to
   right value of i_lastfrag, and fix of this corner case may slow down of
   ordinaries scenarios, so this patch makes behavior of "truncate"
   operations similar to what other UFS implementations do.

	write("A")
	lseek(1024 * 2)
	write("A")

may cause access to invalid address.

This happened because of "goal" is calculated in wrong way in block
allocation path, as I see this problem exists also in 2.4.

We use construction like this i_data[lastfrag], i_data array of pointers to
direct blocks, indirect and so on, it has ceratain size ~20 elements, and
lastfrag may have value for example 40000.

To handle the earlier bogus ENOSPC error caused by filesystem full of block

I can't understand this.  First, p->state can't be EXIT_ZOMBIE.  The
->exit_state check looks strange too.  Sub-threads or tasks whose ->parent
ignores SIGCHLD go directly to EXIT_DEAD state (I am ignoring a ptrace
case).  Why EXIT_DEAD tasks should be ok?  Yes, EXIT_ZOMBIE is more
important (a task may stay zombie for a long time), but this doesn't mean
we should explicitely ignore other EXIT_XXX states.

When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is

But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's

for userland to safely grab the screen content.  So here is a (tested)

While testing Moxa C218T/PCI on PowerPC 405EP I found that loading firmware
using the linux kernel driver fails because calculation of the checksum is
not endianess independent in the original code.

After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with
multiple cards causes a kernel oops.  I had a look in the recent moxa
sources and found that they do some kind of locking there.  Applying this
lock fixed the problem.

Alan sayeth:

  Checksum changes are clearly correct.  Other changes is an improvement but
  not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks.  That said such an
  attacker has CAP_SYS_RAWIO anyway so that part is irrelevant except for
  neatness.

OK, I'm having a look here; its all new to me so bear with me.

blkdev_open() calls
  do_open(bdev, ...,BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) and takes
    mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_mutex, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL)

then something fails, and we're thrown to:

out_first: where
    if (bdev != bdev->bd_contains)
      blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains) which is
        __blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) which does
          mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_contains->bd_mutex, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) <--- lockdep trigger

When going to out_first, dbev->bd_contains is either bdev or whole, and
since we take the branch it must be whole. So it seems to me the
following patch would be the right one:
