If a machine check is pending and the external or I/O interrupt handler
returns to userspace io_mcck_pending is going to call s390_handle_mcck.
Before this happens a call to TRACE_IRQS_ON was already made since we
know that we are going back to userspace and hence interrupts will be
enabled. So there was an indication that interrupts are enabled while
in reality they are still disabled.
s390_handle_mcck will do a local_irq_save/restore pair and confuse
lockdep which later complains about inconsistent irq tracing.
To solve this just call trace_hardirqs_off before calling
s390_handle_mcck and trace_hardirqs_on afterwards.

The header file for external interrupts uses the _u16 type. Make sure
that _u16 is defined by including linux/types.h. This prevents compile
failures, if asm/s390_ext.h is the first include file.

There is no need to disable bottom halves when holding call_lock. Also
this could imply that it is legal to call smp_call_function* from
bh context, which it is not.
Also test if func will be executed locally before disabling
and aterwards enabling interrupts again. It's not necessary to disable
and enable interrupts each time __smp_call_function_map gets called.

BLK_DEV_BSG was added outside of the if BLOCK check, which allows it to
be enabled when CONFIG_BLOCK=n. This leads to many screenlengths of
errors, starting with a parse error on the request_queue_t definition.
Obviously this wasn't intended for CONFIG_BLOCK=n usage, so just move the
option back in to the block.

ati_free_gatt_pages
Hi,
Coverity spotted a "use after free" bug in
drivers/char/agp/ati-agp.c::ati_create_gatt_pages().
The same one that was in
drivers/char/agp/amd-k7-agp.c::amd_create_gatt_pages()
The problem is this:
If "entry = kzalloc(sizeof(struct ati_page_map), GFP_KERNEL);"
fails, then there's a loop in the function to free all entries
allocated so far and break out of the allocation loop. That in itself
is pretty sane, but then the (now freed) 'tables' is assigned to
ati_generic_private.gatt_pages and 'retval' is set to -ENOMEM which
causes ati_free_gatt_pages(); to be called at the end of the function.
The problem with this is that ati_free_gatt_pages() will then loop
'ati_generic_private.num_tables' times and try to free each entry in
tables[] - this is bad since tables has already been freed and
furthermore it will call kfree(tables) at the end - a double free.
This patch removes the freeing loop in ati_create_gatt_pages() and
instead relies entirely on the call to ati_free_gatt_pages() to free
everything we allocated in case of an error. It also sets
ati_generic_private.num_tables to the actual number of entries
allocated instead of just using the value passed in from the caller -
this ensures that ati_free_gatt_pages() will only attempt to free
stuff that was actually allocated.
Note: I'm in no way intimate with this code and I have no way to
actually test this patch (besides compile test it), so while I've
tried to be careful in reading the code and make sure the patch
does the right thing an ACK from someone who actually knows the
code in-depth would be very much appreciated.

Commit bd804eba1c8597cbb7cd5a5f9fe886aae16a079a ("PM: Introduce

YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明.
Generally, sysdev_shutdown() should be called after the ACPI preparation for

kernel text"
This reverts most of commit 19d36ccdc34f5ed444f8a6af0cbfdb6790eb1177.
The way to DEBUG_RODATA interactions with KPROBES and CPU hotplug is to
just not mark the text as being write-protected in the first place.
Both of those facilities depend on rewriting instructions.
Having "helpful" debug facilities that just cause more problem is not
being helpful. It just adds complexity and bugs. Not worth it.

With the introduction of kernelcore=, a configurable zone is created on
request. In some cases, this value will be small enough that some nodes
contain only ZONE_MOVABLE. On some NUMA configurations when this occurs,
arch-independent zone-sizing will get the size of the memory holes within
the node incorrect. The value of present_pages goes negative and the boot
fails.
This patch fixes the bug in the calculation of the size of the hole. The
test case is to boot test a NUMA machine with a low value of kernelcore=
before and after the patch is applied. While this bug exists in early
kernel it cannot be triggered in practice.
This patch has been boot-tested on a variety machines with and without
kernelcore= set.

EDAC has a foundation to perform software memory scrubbing, but it requires a
per architecture (atomic_scrub) function for performing an atomic update
operation. Under X86, this is done with a
lock: add [addr],0

This patch provides the MIPS arch with that atomic function, atomic_scrub() in

This patch fixes sysfs exit code for the EDAC PCI device in a similiar manner
and the previous fixes for EDAC_MC and EDAC_DEVICE.
It removes the old (and incorrect) completion model and uses reference counts
on per instance kobjects and on the edac core module.
This pattern was applied to the edac_mc and edac_device code, but the EDAC PCI
code was missed. In addition, this fixes a system hang after a low level
driver was unloaded. (A cleanup function was called twice, which really
screwed things up)

This fixes a deadlock that could occur on a 'setup' and 'teardown' sequence of
the workq for a edac_mc control structure instance. A similiar fix was
previously implemented for the edac_device code.
In addition, the edac_mc device code there was missing code to allow the workq
period valu to be altered via sysfs control.
This patch adds that fix on the code, and allows for the changing of the
period value as well.

But there is no need to make the declaration weak - only the definition
needs to be marked weak. So drop the weak declaration. And in the process
drop the duplicate definition in page.h for powerpc.

ext[234]_check_descriptors sanity checks block group descriptor geometry at
mount time, testing whether the block bitmap, inode bitmap, and inode table
reside wholly within the blockgroup. However, the inode table test is off
by one so that if the last block in the inode table resides on the last
block of the block group, the test incorrectly fails. This is because it
tests the last block as (start + length) rather than (start + length - 1).
This can be seen by trying to mount a filesystem made such as:
mkfs.ext2 -F -b 1024 -m 0 -g 256 -N 3744 fsfile 1024
which yields:
EXT2-fs error (device loop0): ext2_check_descriptors: Inode table for group 0 not in group (block 101)!
EXT2-fs: group descriptors corrupted!
There is a similar bug in e2fsprogs, patch already sent for that.
(I wonder if inside(), outside(), and/or in_range() should someday be
used in this and other tests throughout the ext filesystems...)

In usual, migrate_pages(page,,) is called with holding mm->sem by system call.
(mm here is a mm_struct which maps the migration target page.)
This semaphore helps avoiding some race conditions.
But, if we want to migrate a page by some kernel codes, we have to avoid
some races. This patch adds check code for following race condition.
1. A page which page->mapping==NULL can be target of migration. Then, we have
to check page->mapping before calling try_to_unmap().
2. anon_vma can be freed while page is unmapped, but page->mapping remains as
it was. We drop page->mapcount to be 0. Then we cannot trust page->mapping.
So, use rcu_read_lock() to prevent anon_vma pointed by page->mapping from
being freed during migration.
