7ea6600148 generic_permission: MAY_OPEN is not write access
generic_permission was refusing CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH-enabled
processes from opening DAC-protected files read-only, because
do_filp_open adds MAY_OPEN to the open mask.

Ignore MAY_OPEN.  After this patch, CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH is
again sufficient to open(fname, O_RDONLY) on a file to which
DAC otherwise refuses us read permission.

9a7262a056 x86_64 SGI UV: Fix writes to led registers on remote uv hubs.
The wrong address was being used to write the SCIR led regs on remote
hubs.  Also, there was an inconsistency between how BIOS and the kernel
indexed these regs.  Standardize on using the lower 6 bits of the APIC
ID as the index.

This patch fixes the problem of writing to an errant address to a
cpu # >= 64.

66f0dc481e mm: move sys_mmap_pgoff from util.c
Move sys_mmap_pgoff() from mm/util.c to mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c,
where we'd expect to find such code: especially now that it contains
the MAP_HUGETLB handling.  Revert mm/util.c to how it was in 2.6.32.

This patch just ignores MAP_HUGETLB in the nommu case, as in 2.6.32,
whereas 2.6.33-rc2 reported -ENOSYS.  Perhaps validate_mmap_request()
should reject it with -EINVAL?  Add that later if necessary.

75c85a0bc1 libsrp: fix compile failure
commit 4546548789 ("kfifo: move struct
kfifo in place") caused a compile failure in ibmvscsitgt.c because it
changed a pointer to kfifo in the libsrp.h structure to a direct
inclusion without including <linux/kfifo.h>.

The fix is simple, just add the include, but how did this happen? This
change, introduced at -rc2, hardly looks like a bug fix, and it clearly
didn't go through linux-next, which would have picked up this compile
failure (it only occurs on ppc because of the ibm virtual scsi target).

[ Apparently all of -mm wasn't in linux-next.. ]

0637c6f413 ext4: Patch up how we claim metadata blocks for quota purposes
As reported in Kernel Bugzilla #14936, commit d21cd8f triggered a BUG
in the function ext4_da_update_reserve_space() found in
fs/ext4/inode.c.  The root cause of this BUG() was caused by the fact
that ext4_calc_metadata_amount() can severely over-estimate how many
metadata blocks will be needed, especially when using direct
block-mapped files.

In addition, it can also badly *under* estimate how much space is
needed, since ext4_calc_metadata_amount() assumes that the blocks are
contiguous, and this is not always true.  If the application is
writing blocks to a sparse file, the number of metadata blocks
necessary can be severly underestimated by the functions
ext4_da_reserve_space(), ext4_da_update_reserve_space() and
ext4_da_release_space().  This was the cause of the dq_claim_space
reports found on kerneloops.org.

Unfortunately, doing this right means that we need to massively
over-estimate the amount of free space needed.  So in some cases we
may need to force the inode to be written to disk asynchronously in
to avoid spurious quota failures.

a70757ba9a [SCSI] pmcraid: fix to avoid twice scsi_dma_unmap for a command
For a particular driver error condition, driver was doing double
scsi_dma_unmaps. Driver was calling scsi_dma_unmap in
pmcraid_error_handler and return 0. This pmcraid_error_handler is called
by pmcraid_io_done which will do scsi_dma_unmap again when it has
return 0 from pmcraid_error_handler.

f405d2c023 x86/agp: Fix agp_amd64_init() initialization with CONFIG_GART_IOMMU enabled
with CONFIG_GART_IOMMU enabled drivers/char/agp/amd64-agp.c has:

 #ifndef CONFIG_GART_IOMMU
 module_init(agp_amd64_init);
 module_exit(agp_amd64_cleanup);
 #endif

agp_amd64_init() was called via gart_iommu_init with
CONFIG_GART_IOMMU=y agp_amd64_init() was called via module_init
with CONFIG_GART_IOMMU=n

The commit 75f1cdf1dd changes the
x86 dma initialization routine: gart_iommu_init() is called only
when GART IOMMU is detected. So when GART IOMMU isn't detected,
agp_amd64_init isn't called.

Marin Mitov reported this issue:

 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126192729110083&w=2

With this patch, agp_amd64_init() is always called via
module_init (the above ifndef is removed). If agp_amd64_init()
is called via gart_iommu_init() earlier, agp_amd64_init()
finishes without doing anything (when it is called via
module_init).

It would appear that in BIOS's with nVidia hooks, the GUID
05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910 is duplicated. For now, the simplest
solution is to just ignore any duplicate GUIDs. These particular hooks are not
currently supported/ used in the kernel, so whoever does that can figure out
what the 'right' solution should be (if there's a better one).

27d0567ab6 ACPI: fix ACPI=n allmodconfig build
Today's -tip failed to build because commit
9e368fa011 ("ipmi: add PNP discovery (ACPI
namespace via PNPACPI)") from today's upstream kernel causes the following
build failure on x86, for CONFIG_ACPI=n && CONFIG_IPMI_SI=y:

 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3208: error: 'ipmi_pnp_driver' undeclared (first use in this function)
 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3208: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3334: error: 'ipmi_pnp_driver' undeclared (first use in this function)

The reason is that the ipmi_pnp_driver depends on ACPI facilities and is only
made available under ACPI - while the registration and unregistration is made
dependent on CONFIG_PNP:

 #ifdef CONFIG_PNP
 	pnp_register_driver(&ipmi_pnp_driver);
 #endif

The solution is to only register this driver under ACPI. (Also, the CONFIG_PNP
dependency is not needed because pnp_register_driver() is stubbed out in the
!CONFIG_PNP case.)

404e4b43fd md: allow a resync that is waiting for other resync to complete, to be aborted.
If two arrays share a device, then they will not both resync at the
same time.  One will wait for the other to complete.
While waiting, the MD_RECOVERY_INTR flag is not checked so a device
failure, which would make the resync pointless, does not cause the
resync to abort, so the failed device cannot be removed (as it cannot
be remove while a resync is happening).

So add a test for MD_RECOVERY_INTR.

0f9552b5dc md: fix small irregularity with start_ro module parameter
The start_ro modules parameter can be used to force arrays to be
started in 'auto-readonly' in which they are read-only until the first
write.  This ensures that no resync/recovery happens until something
else writes to the device.  This is important for resume-from-disk
off an md array.

However if an array is started 'readonly' (by writing 'readonly' to
the 'array_state' sysfs attribute) we want it to be really 'readonly',
not 'auto-readonly'.

So strengthen the condition to only set auto-readonly if the
array is not already read-only.

cbd1998377 md: Fix unfortunate interaction with evms
evms configures md arrays by:
  open device
  send ioctl
  close device

for each different ioctl needed.
Since 2.6.29, the device can disappear after the 'close'
unless a significant configuration has happened to the device.
The change made by "SET_ARRAY_INFO" can too minor to stop the device
from disappearing, but important enough that losing the change is bad.

So: make sure SET_ARRAY_INFO sets mddev->ctime, and keep the device
active as long as ctime is non-zero (it gets zeroed with lots of other
things when the array is stopped).

This is suitable for -stable kernels since 2.6.29.

98ea3f50bc reiserfs: Fix remaining in-reclaim-fs <-> reclaim-fs-on locking inversion
Commit 500f5a0bf5
(reiserfs: Fix possible recursive lock) fixed a vmalloc under reiserfs
lock that triggered a lockdep warning because of a
IN-FS-RECLAIM <-> RECLAIM-FS-ON locking dependency inversion.

But this patch has ommitted another vmalloc call in the same path
that allocates the journal. Relax the lock for this one too.

5d7db0499e firewire, ieee1394: update Kconfig help
Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move
from the older to the newer drivers.  However, do not label ieee1394 as
"Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default
stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start
doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for
unforeseen issues.

Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer
firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio
devices.  Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd
generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on
library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.
