2006-09-25sysfs: Make poll behaviour consistentJuha Yrjölä
When no events have been reported by sysfs_notify(), sd->s_events was previously set to zero. The initial value for new readers is also zero, so poll was blocking, regardless of whether the attribute was read by the process or not. Make poll behave consistently by setting the initial value of sd->s_events to non-zero. Signed-off-by: Juha Yrjola <juha.yrjola@solidboot.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2006-09-25[PATCH] VIDIOC_ENUMSTD bugJonathan Corbet
The v4l2 API documentation for VIDIOC_ENUMSTD says: To enumerate all standards applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns EINVAL. The actual code, however, tests the index this way: if (index<=0 || index >= vfd->tvnormsize) { ret=-EINVAL; So any application which passes in index=0 gets EINVAL right off the bat - and, in fact, this is what happens to mplayer. So I think the following patch is called for, and maybe even appropriate for a 2.6.18.x stable release.

2006-09-25[PATCH] load_module: no BUG if module_subsys uninitializedEd Swierk
Invoking load_module() before param_sysfs_init() is called crashes in mod_sysfs_setup(), since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet. In my case, net-pf-1 is getting modprobed as a result of hotplug trying to create a UNIX socket. Calls to hotplug begin after the topology_init initcall. Another patch for the same symptom (module_subsys-initialize-earlier.patch) moves param_sysfs_init() to the subsys initcalls, but this is still not early enough in the boot process in some cases. In particular, topology_init() causes /sbin/hotplug to run, which requests net-pf-1 (the UNIX socket protocol) which can be compiled as a module. Moving param_sysfs_init() to the postcore initcalls fixes this particular race, but there might well be other cases where a usermodehelper causes a module to load earlier still. The patch makes load_module() return an error rather than crashing the kernel if invoked before module_subsys is initialized.

2006-09-25[PATCH] cpu to node relationship fixup: map cpu to nodeKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Assume that a cpu is *physically* offlined at boot time... Because smpboot.c::smp_boot_cpu_map() canoot find cpu's sapicid, numa.c::build_cpu_to_node_map() cannot build cpu<->node map for offlined cpu. For such cpus, cpu_to_node map should be fixed at cpu-hot-add. This mapping should be done before cpu onlining. This patch also handles cpu hotremove case.

2006-09-25[PATCH] cpu to node relationship fixup: acpi_map_cpu2nodeKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Problem description: We have additional_cpus= option for allocating possible_cpus. But nid for possible cpus are not fixed at boot time. cpus which is offlined at boot or cpus which is not on SRAT is not tied to its node. This will cause panic at cpu onlining. Usually, pxm_to_nid() mapping is fixed at boot time by SRAT. But, unfortunately, some system (my system!) do not include full SRAT table for possible cpus. (Then, I use additiona_cpus= option.) For such possible cpus, pxm<->nid should be fixed at hot-add. We now have acpi_map_pxm_to_node() which is also used at boot. It's suitable here.

2006-09-25[PATCH] autofs4: zero timeout prevents shutdownIan Kent
If the timeout of an autofs mount is set to zero then umounts are disabled. This works fine, however the kernel module checks the expire timeout and goes no further if it is zero. This is not the right thing to do at shutdown as the module is passed an option to expire mounts regardless of their timeout setting. This patch allows autofs to honor the force expire option.

2006-09-25[NetLabel]: make the CIPSOv4 cache spinlocks bottom half safePaul Moore
The CIPSOv4 cache traversal routines are triggered both the userspace events (cache invalidation due to DOI removal or updated SELinux policy) and network packet processing events. As a result there is a problem with the existing CIPSOv4 cache spinlocks as they are not bottom-half/softirq safe. This patch converts the CIPSOv4 cache spin_[un]lock() calls into spin_[un]lock_bh() calls to address this problem. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
