994fc28c7b [PATCH] add AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, prepend AOP_ to WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE
readpage(), prepare_write(), and commit_write() callers are updated to
understand the special return code AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE in the style of
writepage() and WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE.  AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE tells the caller that
the callee has unlocked the page and that the operation should be tried again
with a new page.  OCFS2 uses this to detect and work around a lock inversion in
its aop methods.  There should be no change in behaviour for methods that don't
return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE.

WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE is also prepended with AOP_ for consistency and they are
made enums so that kerneldoc can be used to document their semantics.

abe842eb98 [PATCH] Avoid namespace pollution in <asm/param.h>
In commit 3D59121003721a8fad11ee72e646fd9d3076b5679c, the x86 and x86-64
<asm/param.h> was changed to include <linux/config.h> for the
configurable timer frequency.

However, asm/param.h is sometimes used in userland (it is included
indirectly from <sys/param.h>), so your commit pollutes the userland
namespace with tons of CONFIG_FOO macros.  This greatly confuses
software packages (such as BusyBox) which use CONFIG_FOO macros
themselves to control the inclusion of optional features.

After a short exchange, Christoph approved this patch

5ab4a6c81e [IPV6] mcast: Fix multiple issues in MLDv2 reports.
The below "jumbo" patch fixes the following problems in MLDv2.

1) Add necessary "ntohs" to recent "pskb_may_pull" check [breaks
        all nonzero source queries on little-endian (!)]

2) Add locking to source filter list [resend of prior patch]

3) fix "mld_marksources()" to
        a) send nothing when all queried sources are excluded
        b) send full exclude report when source queried sources are
                not excluded
        c) don't schedule a timer when there's nothing to report

NOTE: RFC 3810 specifies the source list should be saved and each
  source reported individually as an IS_IN. This is an obvious DOS
  path, requiring the host to store and then multicast as many sources
  as are queried (e.g., millions...). This alternative sends a full, 
  relevant report that's limited to number of sources present on the
  machine.

4) fix "add_grec()" to send empty-source records when it should
        The original check doesn't account for a non-empty source
        list with all sources inactive; the new code keeps that
        short-circuit case, and also generates the group header
        with an empty list if needed.

5) fix mca_crcount decrement to be after add_grec(), which needs
        its original value

These issues (other than item #1 ;-) ) were all found by Yan Zheng,
much thanks!

d6f029130f [PATCH] fix race with preempt_enable()
Currently a simple

	void foo(void) { preempt_enable(); }

produces the following code on ARM:

foo:
	bic	r3, sp, #8128
	bic	r3, r3, #63
	ldr	r2, [r3, #4]
	ldr	r1, [r3, #0]
	sub	r2, r2, #1
	tst	r1, #4
	str	r2, [r3, #4]
	blne	preempt_schedule
	mov	pc, lr

The problem is that the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is loaded _before_ the
preemption count is stored back, hence any interrupt coming within that
3 instruction window causing TIF_NEED_RESCHED to be set won't be
seen and scheduling won't happen as it should.

Nothing currently prevents gcc from performing that reordering.  There
is already a barrier() before the decrement of the preemption count, but
another one is needed between this and the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag test
for proper code ordering.

23f9b317e0 [PATCH] include/linux/irq.h: #include <linux/smp.h>
Jan's crosscompile page [1] shows, that one regression in 2.6.15-rc is
that the v850 defconfig does no longer compile.

The compile error is:

<--  snip  -->

...
  CC      arch/v850/kernel/setup.o
In file included from /usr/src/ctest/rc/kernel/arch/v850/kernel/setup.c:17:

make[2]: *** [arch/v850/kernel/setup.o] Error 1

<--  snip  -->

The #include <asm/smp.h> in irq.h was intruduced in 2.6.15-rc.

Since include/linux/irq.h needs code from asm/smp.h only in the
CONFIG_SMP=y case and linux/smp.h #include's asm/smp.h only in the
CONFIG_SMP=y case, I'm suggesting this patch to #include <linux/smp.h>
in irq.h.

I've tested the compilation with both CONFIG_SMP=y and CONFIG_SMP=n
on i386.

fd30fc3256 [PATCH] relayfs: remove warning printk() in relay_switch_subbuf()
There's currently a diagnostic printk in relay_switch_subbuf() meant as
a warning if you accidentally try to log an event larger than the
sub-buffer size.

The problem is if this happens while logging from somewhere it's not
safe to be doing printks, such as in the scheduler, you can end up with
a deadlock.  This patch removes the warning from relay_switch_subbuf()
and instead prints some diagnostic info when the channel is closed.

f5899b5d4f [IA64] disable preemption in udelay()
The udelay() inline for ia64 uses the ITC.  If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled
and the platform has unsynchronized ITCs and the calling task migrates
to another CPU while doing the udelay loop, then the effective delay may
be too short or very, very long.

This patch disables preemption around 100 usec chunks of the overall
desired udelay time.  This minimizes preemption-holdoffs.

udelay() is now too big to be inline, move it out of line and export it.

42e33148df [SCSI] fix for fc transport recursion problem.
In the scenario that a link was broken, the devloss timer for each
rport was expire at roughly the same time, causing lots of "delete"
workqueue items being queued. Depth is dependent upon the number of
rports that were on the link.

The rport target remove calls were calling flush_scheduled_work(),
which would interrupt the stream, and start the next workqueue item,
which did the same thing, and so on until recursion depth was large.

This fix stops the recursion in the initial delete path, and pushes it
off to a host-level work item that reaps the dead rports.

39942fd8ff [PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced version
Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par()
function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other
functions dependent on the hardware state are executed.

Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first
time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to
KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and
several other functions before a set_par() is executed.  This is believed
to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm.  At least some X releases used
by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour.

There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on
10-dec-2005.

This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they
prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the
problems caused by the broken X releases.

The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other
drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X.

As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable
to everybody.

00d7c05ab1 [PATCH] kprobes: no probes on critical path
For Kprobes critical path is the path from debug break exception handler
till the control reaches kprobes exception code.  No probes can be
supported in this path as we will end up in recursion.

This patch prevents this by moving the below function to safe __kprobes
section onto which no probes can be inserted.
