2007-09-11knfsd: Fixed problem with NFS exporting directories which are mounted on.Neil Brown
Recent changes in NFSd cause a directory which is mounted-on to not appear properly when the filesystem containing it is exported. *exp_get* now returns -ENOENT rather than NULL and when commit 5d3dbbeaf56d0365ac6b5c0a0da0bd31cc4781e1 removed the NULL checks, it didn't add a check for -ENOENT.

2007-09-11Fix spurious syscall tracing after PTRACE_DETACH + PTRACE_ATTACHRoland McGrath
When PTRACE_SYSCALL was used and then PTRACE_DETACH is used, the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE flag is left set on the formerly-traced task. This means that when a new tracer comes along and does PTRACE_ATTACH, it's possible he gets a syscall tracing stop even though he's never used PTRACE_SYSCALL. This happens if the task was in the middle of a system call when the second PTRACE_ATTACH was done. The symptom is an unexpected SIGTRAP when the tracer thinks that only SIGSTOP should have been provoked by his ptrace calls so far. A few machines already fixed this in ptrace_disable (i386, ia64, m68k). But all other machines do not, and still have this bug. On x86_64, this constitutes a regression in IA32 compatibility support. Since all machines now use TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE for this, I put the clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in the generic ptrace_detach code rather than adding it to every other machine's ptrace_disable.

2007-09-10[POWERPC] ibmebus: Prevent bus_id collisionsJoachim Fenkes
Previously, ibmebus derived a device's bus_id from its location code. The location code is not guaranteed to be unique, so we might get bus_id collisions if two devices share the same location code. The OFDT full_name, however, is unique, so we use that instead (truncating it on the left if it is too long).

2007-09-10[POWERPC] cell/PS3: Ignore storage devices that are still being probedGeert Uytterhoeven
On PS3, A storage device may show up in the repository before the hypervisor has finished probing: - If its type is not yet known, it shows up as PS3_DEV_TYPE_STOR_DUMMY, - If its regions are being probed, it shows up as having zero regions. If any of these happen, consider the device not yet present. The storage probe thread will retry later.

At present, running any SPE program on the ps3 will trigger a BUG_ON when spufs_run_spu tries to clear the master run control bit, as lv1 does not make the master run control available to Linux. This change makes SPE apps work again by disabling changes to the master run control on PS3.

interrupt. The Cell BE Architecture spec states that the SPU MFC Class 0 interrupt is edge-triggered. The current spu interrupt handler assumes this behavior and does not clear the interrupt status. The PS3 hypervisor visualizes all SPU interrupts as level, and on return from the interrupt handler the hypervisor will deliver a new virtual interrupt for any unmasked interrupts which for which the status has not been cleared.

2007-09-09i2c-algo-bit: Read block data bugfixDavid Brownell
This fixes a bug in the way i2c-algo-bit handles I2C_M_RECV_LEN, used to implement i2c_smbus_read_block_data(). Previously, in the absence of PEC (rarely used!) it would NAK the "length" byte: S addr Rd [A] [length] NA That prevents the subsequent data bytes from being read: S addr Rd [A] [length] { A [data] }* NA The primary fix just reorders two code blocks, so the length used in the "should I NAK now?" check incorporates the data which it just read from the slave device. However, that move also highlighted other fault handling glitches. This fixes those by abstracting the RX path ack/nak logic, so it can be used in more than one location. Also, a few CodingStyle issues were also resolved. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

This git mod: 77e4635ae191774526ed695482a151ac986f3806 converted to a "greedy" allocation interface, but for the quota hashtables it switched from allocating XFS_QM_HASHSIZE (nr of elements) xfs_dqhash_t's to allocating only XFS_QM_HASHSIZE *bytes* - quite a lot smaller! Then when we converted hsize "back" to nr of elements (the division line) hsize went to 0. This was leading to oopses when running any quota tests on the Fedora 8 test kernel, but the problem has been there for almost a year.

2007-09-05[x86 setup] Work around bug in Xen HVMChristian Ehrhardt
Apparently XEN does not keep the contents of the 48-bit gdt_48 data structure that is passed to lgdt in the XEN machine state. Instead it appears to save the _address_ of the 48-bit descriptor somewhere. Unfortunately this data happens to reside on the stack and is probably no longer availiable at the time of the actual protected mode jump. This is Xen bug but given that there is a one-line patch to work around this problem, the linux kernel should probably do this. My fix is to make the gdt_48 description in setup_gdt static (in setup_idt this is already the case). This allows the kernel to boot under Xen HVM again.
