2007-01-05[PATCH] connector: some fixes for ia64 unaligned access errorsErik Jacobson
On ia64, the various functions that make up cn_proc.c cause kernel unaligned access errors. If you are using these, for example, to get notification about all tasks forking and exiting, you get multiple unaligned access errors per process. Use put_unaligned() in the appropriate palces to fix this.

2007-01-05[PATCH] fix garbage instead of zeroes in UFSEvgeniy Dushistov
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.

2007-01-05[PATCH] fix OOM killing of swapoffHugh Dickins
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).

2007-01-05[PATCH] Check for populated zone in __drain_pagesChristoph Lameter
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.

2007-01-05[PATCH] hpt37x: Two important bug fixesAlan
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.
