2007-01-11[PATCH] NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()Trond Myklebust
NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page() invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked. Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page can no longer be dirtied. In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference to the inode or dentry. Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

2007-01-08Revert "[PATCH] x86-64: Try multiple timer variants in check_timer"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit b026872601976f666bae77b609dc490d1834bf77, which has been linked to several problem reports with IO-APIC and the timer. Machines either don't boot because the timer doesn't happen, or we get double timer interrupts because we end up double-routing the timer irq through multiple interfaces. See for example http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/16/101 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/3/9 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7789 about some of the discussion. Patches to fix this cleanup exist (and have been confirmed to work fine at least for some of the affected cases) and we'll revisit it for 2.6.21, but this late in the -rc series we're better off just reverting the incomplete commit that caused the problems.

2007-01-08[ARM] pass vma for flush_anon_page()Russell King
Since get_user_pages() may be used with processes other than the current process and calls flush_anon_page(), flush_anon_page() has to cope in some way with non-current processes. It may not be appropriate, or even desirable to flush a region of virtual memory cache in the current process when that is different to the process that we want the flush to occur for. Therefore, pass the vma into flush_anon_page() so that the architecture can work out whether the 'vmaddr' is for the current process or not. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2007-01-04i2c: Migration aids for i2c_adapter.dev removalDavid Brownell
Flag i2c_adapter.dev for removal after userspace tools get upgraded, and include a near-term code migration aid to facilitate this: - The class device gets the name attribute it should have had. This was previously (wrongly) associated with the i2c_adapter.dev node. Sysfs based tools and libraries can start converting right away. - Issue a warning for legacy adapter drivers that don't provide any physical device node; so systems with those drivers will know to fix this problem earlier. This is one of a series of patches to help the I2C stack become a better citizen of the Linux Driver Model world.

2006-12-20UHCI: module parameter to ignore overcurrent changesAlan Stern
Certain boards seem to like to issue false overcurrent notifications, for example on ports that don't have anything connected to them. This looks like a hardware error, at the level of noise to those ports' overcurrent input signals (or non-debounced VBUS comparators). This surfaces to users as truly massive amounts of syslog spam from khubd (which is appropriate for real hardware problems, except for the volume from multiple ports). Using this new "ignore_oc" flag helps such systems work more sanely, by preventing such indications from getting to khubd (and spamming syslog). The downside is of course that true overcurrent errors will be masked; they'll appear as spontaneous disconnects, without the diagnostics that will let users troubleshoot issues like short-circuited cables. In addition, controllers with no devices attached will be forced to poll for new devices rather than relying on interrupts, since each overcurrent event would generate a new interrupt. This patch (as826) is essentially a copy of David Brownell's ignore_oc patch for ehci-hcd, ported to uhci-hcd.
