It looks like the code in pkt_generic_packet() worked by luck in the past, but
after commit 186d330e682210100c671355580a8592e4a21692 leaving rq->cmd_len
uninitialized doesn't work any more.

I'm getting oopses with snd-usb-audio in 32-bit compat environments:
control_compat.c:get_ctl_type() doesn't initialize 'info', so
'itemlist[uinfo->value.enumerated.item]' in
usbmixer.c:mixer_ctl_selector_info() might access random memory (The 'if
((int)uinfo->value.enumerated.item >= cval->max)' doesn't fix all problems
because of the unsigned -> signed conversion.)

Currently, acpi video options can only be set on kernel command line. That's
little inflexible; I'd like userland s2ram application that just works, and
modifying kernel command line according to whitelist is not fun. It is better
to just allow s2ram application to set video options just before suspend
(according to the whitelist).
This implements sysctl to allow setting suspend video options without reboot.
(akpm: Documentation updates for this new sysctl are pending..)

I found an issue in cfi_cmdset0001.c. It is related to cache region
invalidation in the buffered write procedure.
The code performs cache invalidation from "cmd_addr" to "cmd_adr + len" in
do_write_buffer() while we modify region from "adr" to "adr+len".
This issue affects writes + reads of data by small chunks.

Some allocations are restricted to a limited set of nodes (due to memory
policies or cpuset constraints). If the page allocator is not able to find
enough memory then that does not mean that overall system memory is low.
In particular going postal and more or less randomly shooting at processes
is not likely going to help the situation but may just lead to suicide (the
whole system coming down).
It is better to signal to the process that no memory exists given the
constraints that the process (or the configuration of the process) has
placed on the allocation behavior. The process may be killed but then the
sysadmin or developer can investigate the situation. The solution is
similar to what we do when running out of hugepages.
This patch adds a check before we kill processes. At that point
performance considerations do not matter much so we just scan the zonelist
and reconstruct a list of nodes. If the list of nodes does not contain all
online nodes then this is a constrained allocation and we should kill the
current process.

In the badness() calculation, there's currently this piece of code:
/*
* Processes which fork a lot of child processes are likely
* a good choice. We add the vmsize of the children if they
* have an own mm. This prevents forking servers to flood the
* machine with an endless amount of children
*/
list_for_each(tsk, &p->children) {
struct task_struct *chld;
chld = list_entry(tsk, struct task_struct, sibling);
if (chld->mm = p->mm && chld->mm)
points += chld->mm->total_vm;
}
The intention is clear: If some server (apache) keeps spawning new children
and we run OOM, we want to kill the father rather than picking a child.
This -- to some degree -- also helps a bit with getting fork bombs under
control, though I'd consider this a desirable side-effect rather than a
feature.
There's one problem with this: No matter how many or few children there are,
if just one of them misbehaves, and all others (including the father) do
everything right, we still always kill the whole family. This hits in real
life; whether it's javascript in konqueror resulting in kdeinit (and thus the
whole KDE session) being hit or just a classical server that spawns children.
Sidenote: The killer does kill all direct children as well, not only the
selected father, see oom_kill_process().
The idea in attached patch is that we do want to account the memory
consumption of the (direct) children to the father -- however not fully.
This maintains the property that fathers with too many children will still
very likely be picked, whereas a single misbehaving child has the chance to
be picked by the OOM killer.
In the patch I account only half (rounded up) of the children's vm_size to
the parent. This means that if one child eats more mem than the rest of
the family, it will be picked, otherwise it's still the father and thus the
whole family that gets selected.
This is heuristics -- we could debate whether accounting for a fourth would
be better than for half of it. Or -- if people would consider it worth the
trouble -- make it a sysctl. For now I sticked to accounting for half,
which should IMHO be a significant improvement.
The patch does one more thing: As users tend to be irritated by the choice
of killed processes (mainly because the children are killed first, despite
some of them having a very low OOM score), I added some more output: The
selected (father) process will be reported first and it's oom_score printed
to syslog.
Description:
Only account for half of children's vm size in oom score calculation
This should still give the parent enough point in case of fork bombs. If
any child however has more than 50% of the vm size of all children
together, it'll get a higher score and be elected.
This patch also makes the kernel display the oom_score.

For ATAPI commands, padding can reduce qc->n_elem by one and thus to
zero making assert(qc->n_elem > 0)'s in ata_fill_sg() and qs_fill_sg()
fail for legal commands. This patch fixes the assert()'s to take
qc->pad_len into account.
Although the condition check seems a bit excessive, as this part of

When redirecting an outgoing packet to loopback, it keeps the original
conntrack reference and information from the outgoing path, which
falsely triggers the check for DNAT on input and the dst_entry is
released to trigger rerouting. ip_route_input refuses to route the
packet because it has a local source address and it is dropped.
Look at the packet itself to dermine if it was NATed. Also fix a
missing inversion that causes unneccesary xfrm lookups.

This patch fixes 2 bugs in the USB-IrDA code.
The first one is a buffer overrun in the RX path. We are now using
IRDA_SKB_MAX_MTU when initializing the Rx URB.
The second one is a potential stack recursion when unplugging the USB
dongle. It seems that first we get the Rx URB with a generic error
code, and after a while the Rx URB comes again with a "disconnect"
error code. Since we are resubmitting the Rx URB immediately after
receiving the first error one, we might enter an endless loop.
When getting an error Rx URB, the patch defers the Rx URB resubmitting
so that it gives us a chance to catch the disconnect one, in case the
dongle has juts been unplugged.
Tested against 2.6.16-rc2.

ICMP errors are only SNATed when their source matches the source of the
connection they are related to, otherwise the source address is not
changed. This creates problems with ICMP frag. required messages
originating from a router behind the NAT, if private IPs are used the
packet has a good change of getting dropped on the path to its destination.
Always NAT ICMP errors similar to the original connection.

If the logical and physical cpu ids of a secondary thread don't match, we will
fail to spin the thread up on pSeries machines due to a bug in pseries/smp.c
We call the RTAS "start-cpu" method with the physical cpu id, the address of
pSeries_secondary_smp_init and the value to pass that function in r3. Currently
we pass "lcpu", the logical cpu id, but pSeries_secondary_smp_init expects
the physical cpu id in r3.
We should be passing pcpu instead.

Because smp_release_cpus() is built for SMP || KEXEC, it's not safe to
unconditionally call it from setup_system(). On a UP && KEXEC kernel we'll
start up the secondary CPUs which will then go beserk and we die.
Simple fix is to conditionally call smp_release_cpus() in setup_system(). With
that in place we don't need the dummy definition of smp_release_cpus() because
all call sites are #ifdef'ed either SMP or KEXEC.

This fixes a regression which was introduced by moving ppc32 to use
the same sort of lockless gettimeofday as ppc64 has been using for
some time. This involves getting the timebase and performing some
simple arithmetic to convert it to seconds and microseconds. However,
the factor and offset used there weren't being updated when NTP
varied the tick length using adjtimex. 64-bit didn't notice the
problem because it had a hook in the 32-bit adjtimex compat routine
that attempted to work out what the generic timekeeping code would
do and alter the factor and offset to match. However, that code
was very complex and it wasn't clear that it still matched what the
generic code would do.
Now we use the generic current_tick_length() routine that was recently
added to check that the current tick will be as long as we expect; if
not we recompute the factor and offset. This keeps gettimeofday and
xtime in sync. In addition we check that gettimeofday hasn't got ahead
of xtime on each timer interrupt; if it has, we resync.

acpi_rs_get_list_length() needs to account for all the vendor-defined data
bytes. Failing to include these causes buffers to be sized too small,
which causes slab corruption when we later convert AML to resources and run
off the end of the buffer.
This causes slab corruption on machines that use ACPI vendor-defined
resources. All HP ia64 machines do, and I'm told that some NEC machines
may as well.

The last changes that introduced the additional_cpus command line parameter
also introduced a regression regarding smp initialization speed. In
smp_setup_cpu_possible_map() cpu_present_map is set to the same value as
cpu_possible_map. Especially that means that bits in the present map will be
set for cpus that are not present. This will cause a slow down in the initial
cpu_up() loop in smp_init() since trying to take cpus online that aren't
present takes a while.
Fix this by setting only bits for present cpus in cpu_present_map and set
cpu_present_map to cpu_possible_map in smp_cpus_done().

can be attached to the system anymore. Only the cpus present at IPL time can
be switched on/off. If it is desired that additional cpus can be attached to
the system the maximum number of additional cpus needs to be specified with
this option.
This change is necessary in order to limit the waste of per_cpu data
structures.
