59fe4fe34d thinkpad-acpi: fix incorrect use of TPACPI_BRGHT_MODE_ECNVRAM
HBRV-based default selection of backlight control strategy didn't work
well, at least the X41 defines it but doesn't use it and I don't think
it will stop there.

Switch to a white/blacklist.  All models that have HBRV defined have
been included in the list, and initially all ATI GPUs will get
ECNVRAM, and the Intel GPUs will get UCMS_STEP.

Symptoms of incorrect backlight mode selection are:

1. Non-working backlight control through sysfs;

2. Backlight gets reset to the lowest level at every shutdown, reboot
   and when thinkpad-acpi gets unloaded;

This fixes a regression in 2.6.30, bugzilla #13826

9b9d6b2434 cifs: reinstate original behavior when uid=/gid= options are specified
This patch fixes the regression reported here:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13861

commit 4ae1507f6d changed the default
behavior when the uid= or gid= option was specified for a mount. The
existing behavior was to always clobber the ownership information
provided by the server when these options were specified. The above
commit changed this behavior so that these options simply provided
defaults when the server did not provide this information (unless
"forceuid" or "forcegid" were specified)

This patch reverts this change so that the default behavior is restored.
It also adds "noforceuid" and "noforcegid" options to make it so that
ownership information from the server is preserved, even when the mount
has uid= or gid= options specified.

It also adds a couple of printk notices that pop up when forceuid or
forcegid options are specified without a uid= or gid= option.

1f6fc2de95 thinkpad-acpi: remove dock and bay subdrivers
The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of
the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27, and the
code in thinkpad-acpi for the dock and bay subdrivers is currently
broken anyway...

Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely,
but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need
HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers,
either.

That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well
as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support
has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong
enough reason to find a way to fix this code.

Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3
support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is
indeed useful for them.

550e7fd8af thinkpad-acpi: disable broken bay and dock subdrivers
Currently, the ThinkPad-ACPI bay and dock drivers are completely
broken, and cause a NULL pointer derreference in kernel mode (and,
therefore, an OOPS) when they try to issue events (i.e. on dock,
undock, bay ejection, etc).

OTOH, the standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and
docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27.
In fact, it does a much better job of it than thinkpad-acpi ever did.

It is just not worth the hassle to find a way to fix this crap without
breaking the (deprecated) thinkpad-acpi dock/bay ABI.  This is old,
deprecated code that sees little testing or use.

As a quick fix suitable for -stable backports, mark the thinkpad-acpi
bay and dock subdrivers as BROKEN in Kconfig.  The dead code will be
removed by a later patch.

This fixes bugzilla #13669, and should be applied to 2.6.27 and later.

The previous commit ("do_sigaltstack: avoid copying 'stack_t' as a

0083fc2c50 do_sigaltstack: avoid copying 'stack_t' as a structure to user space
Ulrich Drepper correctly points out that there is generally padding in
the structure on 64-bit hosts, and that copying the structure from
kernel to user space can leak information from the kernel stack in those
padding bytes.

Avoid the whole issue by just copying the three members one by one
instead, which also means that the function also can avoid the need for
a stack frame.  This also happens to match how we copy the new structure
from user space, so it all even makes sense.

[ The obvious solution of adding a memset() generates horrid code, gcc
  does really stupid things. ]

a97778457f nilfs2: fix oops due to inconsistent state in page with discrete b-tree nodes
Andrea Gelmini gave me a report that a kernel oops hit on a nilfs
filesystem with a 1KB block size when doing rsync.

This turned out to be caused by an inconsistency of dirty state
between a page and its buffers storing b-tree node blocks.

If the page had multiple buffers split over multiple logs, and if the
logs were written at a time, a dirty flag remained in the page even
every dirty flag in the buffers was cleared.

This will fix the failure by dropping the dirty flag properly for
pages with the discrete multiple b-tree nodes.

013f1b12f4 Btrfs: make sure the async caching thread advances the key
The async caching thread can end up looping forever if a given
search puts it at the last key in a leaf.  It will end up calling
btrfs_next_leaf and then checking if it needs to politely drop
the read semaphore.

Most of the time this looping isn't noticed because it is able to
make progress the next time around.  But, during log replay,
we wait on the async caching thread to finish, and the async thread
is waiting on the commit, and no progress is really made.

The fix used here is to copy the key out of the next leaf,
that way our search lands there properly.

6606bb97e1 Btrfs: fix btrfs_remove_from_free_space corner case
Yan Zheng hit a problem where we tried to remove some free space but failed
because we couldn't find the free space entry.  This is because the free space
was held within a bitmap that had a starting offset well before the actual
offset of the free space, and there were free space extents that were in the
same range as that offset, so tree_search_offset returned with NULL because we
couldn't find a free space extent that had that offset.  This is fixed by
making sure that if we fail to find the entry, we re-search again with
bitmap_only set to 1 and do an offset_to_bitmap so we can get the appropriate
bitmap.  A similar problem happens in btrfs_alloc_from_bitmap for the
clustering code, but that is not as bad since we will just go and redo our
cluster allocation.

Also this adds some debugging checks to make sure that the free space we are
trying to remove from the bitmap is in fact there.  This can probably go away
after a while, but since this code is only used by the tree-logging stuff it
would be nice to run with it for a while to make sure there are no problems.

97db39a1f6 xfs: reduce bmv_count in xfs_vn_fiemap
commit 6321e3ed2a caused
the full bmv_count's worth of getbmapx structures to get
allocated; telling it to do MAXEXTNUM was a bit insane,
resulting in ENOMEM every time.

Chop it down to something reasonable, the number of slots
in the caller's input buffer.  If this is too large the
caller may get ENOMEM but the reason should not be a
mystery, and they can try again with something smaller.

We add 1 to the value because in the normal getbmap
world, bmv_count includes the header and xfs_getbmap does:

        nex = bmv->bmv_count - 1;
        if (nex <= 0)

bdc6340f4e x86, pat: Fix set_memory_wc related corruption
Changeset 3869c4aa18
that went in after 2.6.30-rc1 was a seemingly small change to _set_memory_wc()
to make it complaint with SDM requirements. But, introduced a nasty bug, which
can result in crash and/or strange corruptions when set_memory_wc is used.
One such crash reported here
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/30/94

Actually, that changeset introduced two bugs.
* change_page_attr_set() takes &addr as first argument and can the addr value
  might have changed on return, even for single page change_page_attr_set()
  call. That will make the second change_page_attr_set() in this routine
  operate on unrelated addr, that can eventually cause strange corruptions
  and bad page state crash.
* The second change_page_attr_set() call, before setting _PAGE_CACHE_WC, should
  clear the earlier _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS, as otherwise cache attribute will not
  be WC (will be UC instead).

The patch below fixes both these problems. Sending a single patch to fix both
the problems, as the change is to the same line of code. The change to have a
addr_copy is not very clean. But, it is simpler than making more changes
through various routines in pageattr.c.

A huge thanks to Jerome for reporting this problem and providing a simple test
case that helped us root cause the problem.
