This patch fixes a long term borkenness in
ibmvscsi where we were using the wrong timeout
field from the scsi command (and using the
wrong units.) Now broken by the fact that the
scsi_cmnd timeout field is gone entirely.
This only worked before because all the SCSI
targets assumed that 0 was default.

If your transport class sets the ATTRIBUTE_CONTAINER_NO_CLASSDEVS flag,
then its configure method never gets called. This patch fixes that so
that the configure method is called with a NULL classdev.

Here's the proof of concept for this one. It converts scsi_wait_req to
do correct REQ_BLOCK_PC submission (and works nicely in my setup).
The final goal should be to eliminate struct scsi_request, but that
can't be done until the character submission paths of sg and st are also
modified.
There's some loss of functionality to this: retries are no longer
controllable (except by setting REQ_FASTFAIL) and the wait_req API needs
to be altered, but it looks very nice.

[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ]
I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race
between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in
vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL.
What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into
con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to
tty->driver_data. Then process A closes that and concurrently process
B opens /dev/tty6. Process A gets through con_close() and clears
tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1. However, before process A
can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the
down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626).
So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2,
as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called.
Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data. Then when the
process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses.
The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data
rather than tty->count in con_open. The testing and setting of
tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of
tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem. We can't get a
situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then
con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because
tty->count is incremented before con_open is called. Thus this patch
eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't
oops.

I know that scsi procfs is legacy code but this is a fix for a memory leak.
While reading through sg.c I realized that the implementation of
/proc/scsi/sg/devices with seq_file is leaking memory due to freeing the
pointer returned by the next() iterator method. Since next() might return
NULL or an error this is wrong. This patch fixes it through using the
seq_files private field for holding the reference to the iterator object.
Here is a small bash script to trigger the leak. Use slabtop to watch
the size-32 usage grow and grow.
#!/bin/sh
while true; do
cat /proc/scsi/sg/devices > /dev/null

- copy_from_user() can fail; ->write() must check its return value.
- severe buffer overruns both in ->read() and ->write() - lseek to the
end (i.e. to mmapper_size) and
if (count + *ppos > mmapper_size)
count = count + *ppos - mmapper_size;
will do absolutely nothing. Then it will call
copy_to_user(buf,&v_buf[*ppos],count);
with obvious results (similar for ->write()).
Fixed by turning read to simple_read_from_buffer() and by doing
normal limiting of count in ->write().
- gratitious lock_kernel() in ->mmap() - it's useless there.
- lots of gratuitous includes.

Don't check type of sax25_family; dev_set_mac_address has already done
that before and anyway, the type to check against would have been
ARPHRD_AX25. We only got away because AF_AX25 and ARPHRD_AX25 both happen
to be defined to the same value.
Don't check sax25_ndigis either; it's value is insignificant for the
purpose of setting the MAC address and the check has shown to break

The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without
ever having been made completely visible. In SCSI this is triggered by
removing a device while it's initialising.
The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs,
the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made
to it. The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was
never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL.
(akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems. May not be the
long-term fix)

Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64.
This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it
overestimates the number of available RAM in a node. In extreme cases you
can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks
and other nasty behaviour.
This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820. Reserved
(like the kernel text or mem_map) is still not taken into account, but that
should be only a few percent error now.
Small detail is that the flat setup uses the NUMA free_area_init_node() now
too because it offers more flexibility.

I recently had a BUG_ON() go off spuriously on a gcc 4.0 compiled kernel.
It turns out gcc-4.0 was removing a sign extension while earlier gcc
versions would not. Thinking this to be a compiler bug, I submitted a
report:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23422
It turns out we need to cast the input in order to tell gcc to sign extend
it.

The recent change to locks_remove_flock code in fs/locks.c changes how
byte range locks are removed from closing files, which shows up a bug in
cifs.
The assumption in the cifs code was that the close call sent to the
server would remove any pending locks on the server on this file, but
that is no longer safe as the fs/locks.c code on the client wants unlock
of 0 to PATH_MAX to remove all locks (at least from this client, it is
not possible AFAIK to remove all locks from other clients made to the
server copy of the file).
Note that cifs locks are different from posix locks - and it is not
possible to map posix locks perfectly on the wire yet, due to
restrictions of the cifs network protocol, even to Samba without adding
a new request type to the network protocol (which we plan to do for
Samba 3.0.21 within a few months), but the local client will have the
correct, posix view, of the lock in most cases.
The correct fix for cifs for this would involve a bigger change than I
would like to do this late in the 2.6.13-rc cycle - and would involve
cifs keeping track of all unmerged (uncoalesced) byte range locks for
each remote inode and scanning that list to remove locks that intersect
or fall wholly within the range - locks that intersect may have to be
reaquired with the smaller, remaining range.

Writing even a disabled value seems to mess up some matrox graphics
cards. It may be a card-related issue, but we may also be writing
reserved low bits in the result.
This was a fall-out of switching x86 over to the generic PCI resource
allocation code, and needs more debugging. In particular, the old x86
code defaulted to not doing any resource allocations at all for ROM
resources.

The tg3_abort_hw() call in tg3_test_loopback() is causing lockups on
some devices. tg3_abort_hw() disables the memory arbiter, causing
tg3_reset_hw() to hang when it tries to write the pre-reset signature.
tg3_abort_hw() should only be called after the pre-reset signature has
been written. This is all done in tg3_reset_hw() so the tg3_abort_hw()
call is unnecessary and can be removed.
