The introduction of Jens Axboe's explicit i/o plugging patches introduced a
deadlock in jfs.  This was caused by the process initiating I/O not
unplugging the queue before waiting on the commit thread.  The commit
thread itself was waiting for that I/O to complete.  Calling io_schedule()
rather than schedule() unplugs the I/O queue avoiding the deadlock, and it
appears to be the right function to call in any case.

JFS should mark the superblock dirty and return an error rather than

This reverts commit b0268726, which has
been linked to several problem reports with IO-APIC and the timer.
Machines either don't boot because the timer doesn't happen, or we get
double timer interrupts because we end up double-routing the timer irq
through multiple interfaces.

See for example

about some of the discussion.

Patches to fix this cleanup exist (and have been confirmed to work fine
at least for some of the affected cases) and we'll revisit it for
2.6.21, but this late in the -rc series we're better off just reverting
the incomplete commit that caused the problems.

There's a serious typo in the function:
  arch/mips/pci/ops-pnx8550.c:write_config_byte()

The parameter passed to the function config_access() is PCI_CMD_CONFIG_READ
instead of PCI_CMD_CONFIG_WRITE. This renders any attempts to write
a single byte to the PCI configuration registers useless.

This problem does not exist for write_config_word() nor write_config_dword().

This problem has been there since kernel v2.6.17 and is still there
as of kernel v2.6.19.1.

fuse does not work on ARM due to cache incoherency issues - fuse wants
to use get_user_pages() to copy data from the current process into
kernel space.  However, since this accesses userspace via the kernel
mapping, the kernel mapping can be out of date wrt data written to
userspace.

This can lead to unpredictable behaviour (in the case of fuse) or data
corruption for direct-IO.

This resolves debian bug #402876
Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Since get_user_pages() may be used with processes other than the
current process and calls flush_anon_page(), flush_anon_page() has to
cope in some way with non-current processes.

It may not be appropriate, or even desirable to flush a region of
virtual memory cache in the current process when that is different to
the process that we want the flush to occur for.

Therefore, pass the vma into flush_anon_page() so that the architecture
can work out whether the 'vmaddr' is for the current process or not.

If the kernel attempts to execute a CP1 or CP2 instruction and it
aborts, and a FP emulator is not loaded, we try to return as if to
a user context, instead of the proper kernel context.  Since the
fault came from kernel mode, we must use the kernel return paths.

This reverts commit 59287c09.

Hugh Dickins reports that it causes random failures on x86 with SuSE
10.2, and points out

  "Isn't that randomization, anywhere from 0x10000 to ELF_ET_DYN_BASE,
   sure to place the ET_DYN from time to time just where the comment
   says it's trying to avoid? I assume that somehow results in the error
   reported."

(where the comment in question is the existing comment in the source
code about mmap/brk clashes).

Looks like this is the problem, which point Al Viro some time ago:

ufs's get_block callback allocates 16k of disk at a time, and links that
entire 16k into the file's metadata.  But because get_block is called for only
a single buffer_head (a 2k buffer_head in this case?) we are only able to tell
the VFS that this 2k is buffer_new().

So when ufs_getfrag_block() is later called to map some more data in the file,
and when that data resides within the remaining 14k of this fragment,
ufs_getfrag_block() will incorrectly return a !buffer_new() buffer_head.

I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode
page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and
will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data,
if later inode page cache will be used.

The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not only
mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification".  I use my simple tests
collection, which I used for check that create,open,write,read,close works on
ufs, and I see that this patch makes ufs code 18% slower then before.

These days, if you swapoff when there isn't enough memory, OOM killer gives
"BUG: scheduling while atomic" and the machine hangs: badness() needs to do
its PF_SWAPOFF return after the task_unlock (tasklist_lock is also held
here, so p isn't going to be freed: PF_SWAPOFF might get turned off at any
moment, but that doesn't really matter).

Both process_zones() and drain_node_pages() check for populated zones
before touching pagesets.  However, __drain_pages does not do so,

This may result in a NULL pointer dereference for pagesets in unpopulated
zones if a NUMA setup is combined with cpu hotplug.

Initially the unpopulated zone has the pcp pointers pointing to the boot
pagesets.  Since the zone is not populated the boot pageset pointers will
not be changed during page allocator and slab bootstrap.

If a cpu is later brought down (first call to __drain_pages()) then the pcp
pointers for cpus in unpopulated zones are set to NULL since __drain_pages
does not first check for an unpopulated zone.

If the cpu is then brought up again then we call process_zones() which will
ignore the unpopulated zone.  So the pageset pointers will still be NULL.

If the cpu is then again brought down then __drain_pages will attempt to
drain pages by following the NULL pageset pointer for unpopulated zones.

The HPT37x driver very carefully handles DMA completions and the needed
fixups are done on pci registers 0x50 and 0x52.  This is unfortunate
because the actual registers are 0x50 and 0x54.  Fixing this offset cures
the second channel problems reported.

Secondly there are some problems with the HPT370 and certain ATA drives.
The filter code however only filters ATAPI devices due to a reversed type
check.
