When the erase callback performs some other action on the flash, it's
highly likely to deadlock unless we actually release the chip lock
before calling it.

It was only the very early prototypes which made the mistake of using
the same device ident for all three functions on the device -- don't
bother trying to express that in the PCI match table, since the tools
don't cope. We can check in the probe routine instead, just in case.
Also remember to terminate the table.

This patch make the OneNAND driver much less racy. It fixes
our "onenand_wait: read timeout!" heisenbugs. The reason of
these bugs was that the driver did not lock the chip when
accessing OTP, and it screwed up OneNAND state when the OTP
was read while JFFS2 was doing FS checking.
This patch also fixes other races I spotted:
1. BBT was not protected
2. Access to ecc_stats was not protected
Now the chip is locked when BBT is accessed.
To fix all of these I basically split all interface functions
on 'function()' and 'function_nolock()' parts.
I tested this patch on N800 hardware - it fixes our problems.
But I tested a little different version because our OneNAND
codebase is slightly out-of-date. But it should be OK.
This patch also includes the prin fixes I posted before.

The Vermilion Range Expansion Bus supports four chip selects, each of which
has 64MiB of address space. The 2nd BAR of the Expansion Bus PCI Device
is a 256MiB memory region containing the address spaces for all four of
the chip selects, with start addresses hardcoded on 64MiB boundaries.
This map driver only supports NOR flash on chip select 0. The buswidth
(either 8 bits or 16 bits) is determined by reading the Expansion Bus Timing
and Control Register for Chip Select 0 (EXP_TIMING_CS0).

The CFI probe routine is capable of detecting flash banks consisting of
identical chips mapped to physically discontiguous addresses. (One
common way this can occur is if a flash bank is populated with chips of
less capacity than the hardware was designed to support.) The CFI
point() routine currently ignores any such gaps. This patch fixes
the CFI point() routine so that it truncates any request that would
span a gap.

Make nandsim use GFP_NOFS when allocating memory, because it might
be used by a file-system (e.g. UBIFS2) which means, if we are short
of memory, we may deadlock. Indee, UBIFS is holding a lock, writes
to the media, reaches this place in NANDsim, kmalloc does not find
the requested amount of RAM, calls memory shrinker, which decides
to writeback inodes, calls FS, and it deadlocks on the lock which
is already being held. Below is the UBIFS backtrace which

of GFP_KERNEL.

When building NOR flash support, you have compile-time options for the
bus width and the number of individual chips which are interleaved
together onto that bus. The code to deal with arbitrary geometry is a
bit convoluted, and people want to just configure it for the specific
hardware they have, to avoid the runtime overhead.
Selecting _none_ of the available options doesn't make any sense. You
should have at least one. This makes it build though, since people
persist in trying.

Unlike most stuff on the market the chip inside these two allows raw
flash access and doesn't implement and FTL, leaving that functionality
to the device driver.
Raw flash access in a cheap USB cardreader! An MTD test device one can
attach to a PC! What a deal!
The command set of the chip is not documented, so information was
obtained from the existing mass-storage driver
(drivers/usb/storage/alauda.c), its documentation
(http://alauda.sourceforge.net/wikka.php?wakka=BulkCommandReference),
additional reverse engineering and comparison with a vendor driver for a
related chip
(http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/download/driver/linux/sma03u.html).

The NUMA layer only supports NUMA policies for the highest zone. When
ZONE_MOVABLE is configured with kernelcore=, the the highest zone becomes
ZONE_MOVABLE. The result is that policies are only applied to allocations
like anonymous pages and page cache allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE when the
zone is used.
This patch applies policies to the two highest zones when the highest zone
is ZONE_MOVABLE. As ZONE_MOVABLE consists of pages from the highest "real"
zone, it's always functionally equivalent.
The patch has been tested on a variety of machines both NUMA and non-NUMA
covering x86, x86_64 and ppc64. No abnormal results were seen in
kernbench, tbench, dbench or hackbench. It passes regression tests from
the numactl package with and without kernelcore= once numactl tests are
patched to wait for vmstat counters to update.
akpm: this is the nasty hack to fix NUMA mempolicies in the presence of
ZONE_MOVABLE and kernelcore= in 2.6.23. Christoph says "For .24 either merge
the mobility or get the other solution that Mel is working on. That solution
would only use a single zonelist per node and filter on the fly. That may
help performance and also help to make memory policies work better."

Xen i386 xen-head.S fix sections mixup
xen-head.S does not come back to the data section, leaving the text section
as current section. It causes problems with a slightly enhanced DEBUG_RODATA
that supports CONFIG_HOTPLUG and bringing a CPU up after the text has been
marked read-only: reference to early_gdt_descr causes a page fault.
Updates:
- It should be using pushsection/popsection.
- Actually, the push/popsections around the ELFNOTEs are redundant; ELFNOTE()
does its own push/popsection to put things into the appropriate .note* section
anyway.

de_thread:
if (atomic_read(&oldsighand->count) <= 1)
BUG_ON(atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1);
This is not safe without the rmb() in between. The results of two
correctly ordered __exit_signal()->atomic_dec_and_test()'s could be seen
out of order on our CPU.
The same is true for the "thread_group_empty()" case, __unhash_process()'s
changes could be seen before atomic_dec_and_test(&sig->count).
On some platforms (including i386) atomic_read() doesn't provide even the
compiler barrier, in that case these checks are simply racy.
Remove these BUG_ON()'s. Alternatively, we can do something like
BUG_ON( ({ smp_rmb(); atomic_read(&sig->count) != 1; }) );

This one-liner patch fixes a bug in drivers/auxdisplay/cfag12864b.c
At cfag12864b_init(), the driver tries to kalloc some memory in the
variable cfag12864b_cache.
Then, as usual, it checks if the call failed. However, it checks
cfag12864b_buffer instead.
This patch changes the "cfag12864b_buffer" to "cfag12864b_cache" so the
correct variable is checked.

Due to inconsistent locking in the VFS between calls to lookup and
revalidate deadlock can occur in the automounter.
The inconsistency is that the directory inode mutex is held for both lookup
and revalidate calls when called via lookup_hash whereas it is held only
for lookup during a path walk. Consequently, if the mutex is held during a
call to revalidate autofs4 can't release the mutex to callback the daemon
as it can't know whether it owns the mutex.
This situation happens when a process tries to create a directory within an
automount and a second process also tries to create the same directory
between the lookup and the mkdir. Since the first process has dropped the
mutex for the daemon callback, the second process takes it during
revalidate leading to deadlock between the autofs daemon and the second
process when the daemon tries to create the mount point directory.
After spending quite a bit of time trying to resolve this on more than one
occassion, using rather complex and ulgy approaches, it turns out that just
delaying the hashing of the dentry until the create operation works fine.

The previous patch which limited the number of sectors in a single request
to a COWed device was correct in concept, but the limit was implemented in
the wrong place.
By putting it in ubd_add, it covered the cases where the COWing was
specified on the command line. However, when the command line only has the
COW file specified, the fact that it's a COW file isn't known until it's
opened, so the limit is missed in these cases.
This patch moves the sector limit from ubd_add to ubd_open_dev.

Skip calling cache_free_alien() when the platform is not numa capable.
This will avoid cache misses that happen while accessing slabp (which is
per page memory reference) to get nodeid. Instead use a global variable to
skip the call, which is mostly likely to be present in the cache.
This gives a 0.8% performance boost with the database oltp workload on a
quad-core SMP platform and by any means the number is not small :)

With this patch any thread can dequeue its own private signals via signalfd,
even if it was created by another sub-thread.
To do so, we pass "current" to dequeue_signal() if the caller is from the same
thread group. This also fixes the scheduling of posix timers broken by the
previous patch.
If the caller doesn't belong to this thread group, we can't handle __SI_TIMER
case properly anyway. Perhaps we should forbid the cross-process signalfd usage
and convert ctx->tsk to ctx->sighand.

dequeue_signal:
if (__SI_TIMER) {

do_schedule_next_timer(info);
spin_lock(&tsk->sighand->siglock);
}
Unless tsk == curent, this is absolutely unsafe: nothing prevents tsk from
exiting. If signalfd was passed to another process, do_schedule_next_timer()
is just wrong.
Add yet another "tsk == current" check into dequeue_signal().
This patch fixes an oopsable bug, but breaks the scheduling of posix timers
if the shared __SI_TIMER signal was fetched via signalfd attached to another
sub-thread. Mostly fixed by the next patch.

sys_timer_create() sets ->it_process and unlocks ->siglock, then checks
tmr->it_sigev_notify to define if get_task_struct() is needed.
We already passed ->it_id to the caller, another thread can delete this timer
and free its memory in between.
As a minimal fix, move this code under ->siglock, sys_timer_delete() takes it
too before calling release_posix_timer(). A proper serialization would be to
take ->it_lock, we add a partly initialized timer on posix_timers_id, not
good.

timer_delete does:
lock_timer();
timer->it_process = NULL;
unlock_timer();
release_posix_timer();
timer->it_process is checked in lock_timer() to prevent access to a
timer, which is on the way to be deleted, but the check happens after
idr_lock is dropped. This allows release_posix_timer() to delete the
timer before the lock code can check the timer:
CPU 0 CPU 1
lock_timer();
timer->it_process = NULL;
unlock_timer();
lock_timer()
spin_lock(idr_lock);
timer = idr_find();
spin_lock(timer->lock);
spin_unlock(idr_lock);
release_posix_timer();
spin_lock(idr_lock);
idr_remove(timer);
spin_unlock(idr_lock);
free_timer(timer);
if (timer->......)
Change the locking to prevent this.

Introduce CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE to control inclusion of check_signature()
and avoid problems on platforms that don't have readb().
Let the few legacy (ISA || PCI || X86) drivers that need check_signature()
select CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE.

m68k/mac: Make mac_hid_mouse_emulate_buttons() declaration visible
drivers/char/keyboard.c: In function 'kbd_keycode':
drivers/char/keyboard.c:1142: error: implicit declaration of function 'mac_hid_mouse_emulate_buttons'
The forward declaration of mac_hid_mouse_emulate_buttons() is not visible on
m68k because it's hidden in the middle of a big #ifdef block.
Move it to <linux/kbd_kern.h>, correct the type of the second parameter, and
include <linux/kbd_kern.h> where needed.
