In the extended CSD register the CARD_TYPE is an 8-bit value of which the
upper 6 bits were reserved in JEDEC specifications prior to version 4.4.
In version 4.4 two of the reserved bits were designated for identifying
support for the newly added High-Speed Dual Data Rate.  Unfortunately the
mmc_read_ext_csd() function required that the reserved bits be zero
instead of ignoring them as it should.

This patch makes mmc_read_ext_csd() ignore the CARD_TYPE bits that are
reserved or not yet supported.  It also stops the function jumping to the
end as though an error occurred, when it is only warns that the CARD_TYPE
bits (that it does interpret) are invalid.

The reiserfs journal behaves inconsistently when determining whether to
allow a mount of a read-only device.

This is due to the use of the continue_replay variable to short circuit
the journal scanning.  If it's set, it's assumed that there are
transactions to replay, but there may not be.  If it's unset, it's assumed
that there aren't any, and that may not be the case either.

I've observed two failure cases:
1) Where a clean file system on a read-only device refuses to mount
2) Where a clean file system on a read-only device passes the
   optimization and then tries writing the journal header to update
   the latest mount id.

The former is easily observable by using a freshly created file system on
a read-only loopback device.

This patch moves the check into journal_read_transaction, where it can
bail out before it's about to replay a transaction.  That way it can go
through and skip transactions where appropriate, yet still refuse to mount
a file system with outstanding transactions.

Commit 57fe60df ("reiserfs: add atomic addition of selinux attributes
during inode creation") contains a bug that will cause it to oops when
mounting a file system that didn't previously contain extended attributes
on a system using security.* xattrs.

The issue is that while creating the privroot during mount
reiserfs_security_init calls reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks which
dereferences the xattr root.  The xattr root doesn't exist, so we get an
oops.

In 2.6.34-rc1, removing vhost_net module causes an oops in sync_mm_rss
(called from do_exit) when workqueue is destroyed.  This does not happen
on net-next, or with vhost on top of to 2.6.33.

The issue seems to be introduced by
34e55232 ("mm: avoid false sharing of
mm_counter) which added sync_mm_rss() that is passed task->mm, and
dereferences it without checking.  If task is a kernel thread, mm might be
NULL.  I think this might also happen e.g.  with aio.

This patch fixes the oops by calling sync_mm_rss when task->mm is set to
NULL.  I also added BUG_ON to detect any other cases where counters get
incremented while mm is NULL.

The oops I observed looks like this:

The module in question calls use_mm and later unuse_mm from a kernel

happens.

Fix an 'oops' when a tmpfs mount point is mounted with the mpol=default
mempolicy.

Upon remounting a tmpfs mount point with 'mpol=default' option, the mount
code crashed with a null pointer dereference.  The initial problem report
was on 2.6.27, but the problem exists in mainline 2.6.34-rc as well.  On
examining the code, we see that mpol_new returns NULL if default mempolicy
was requested.  This 'NULL' mempolicy is accessed to store the node mask
resulting in oops.

The following patch fixes it.

ksm.c's write_protect_page implements a lockless means of verifying a page
does not have any users of the page which are not accounted for via other
kernel tracking means.  It does this by removing the writable pte with TLB
flushes, checking the page_count against the total known users, and then
using set_pte_at_notify to make it a read-only entry.

An unneeded mmu_notifier callout is made in the case where the known users
does not match the page_count.  In that event, we are inserting the
identical pte and there is no need for the set_pte_at_notify, but rather
the simpler set_pte_at suffices.

cpu_relax() is documented in volatile-considered-harmful.txt to be a
memory barrier.  However, everyone with the exception of Blackfin and
possibly ia64 defines cpu_relax() to be a compiler barrier.

Make the documentation reflect the general concensus.

Linus sayeth:

: I don't think it was ever the intention that it would be seen as anything
: but a compiler barrier, although it is obviously implied that it might
: well perform some per-architecture actions that have "memory barrier-like"
: semantics.
:
: After all, the whole and only point of the "cpu_relax()" thing is to tell
: the CPU that we're busy-looping on some event.
:
: And that "event" might be (and often is) about reading the same memory
: location over and over until it changes to what we want it to be.  So it's
: quite possible that on various architectures the "cpu_relax()" could be
: about making sure that such a tight loop on loads doesn't starve cache
: transactions, for example - and as such look a bit like a memory barrier
: from a CPU standpoint.
:
: But it's not meant to have any kind of architectural memory ordering
: semantics as far as the kernel is concerned - those must come from other
: sources.

It seems clear from the surrounding code that xpermits is allowed to be
NULL here.

I chased down a fail on ppc64 on 2.6.34-rc2 where an application that
uses shared memory was getting a SEGV.

Commit baed7fc9 ("Add generic sys_ipc
wrapper") changed the second argument from an unsigned long to an int.
When we call shmget the system call wrappers for sys_ipc will sign
extend second (ie the size) which truncates it.  It took a while to
track down because the call succeeds and strace shows the untruncated
size :)

The patch below changes second from an int to an unsigned long which
fixes shmget on ppc64 (and I assume s390, sparc64 and mips64).

I assume the function prototypes for the other IPC methods would cause us
to sign or zero extend second where appropriate (avoiding any security
issues). Come to think of it, the syscall wrappers for each method should do
that for us as well.

Commit 3f6da390
(perf: Rework and fix the arch CPU-hotplug hooks) broke suspend to
RAM on my HP nx6325 (and most likely on other AMD-based boxes too)
by allowing amd_pmu_cpu_offline() to be executed for CPUs that are
going offline as part of the suspend process.  The problem is that
cpuhw->amd_nb may be NULL already, so the function should make sure
it's not NULL before accessing the object pointed to by it.

The console port could have been hot-unplugged. Check if it is valid
before working on it.
