b5c26f97ec lxfb: set the H- and V-SYNC polarity of the flatpanel output
Fixup for the flatpanel output.  The geode_modedb attribute flags are used
to set the SYNC polarity of the flatpanel.  Without this patch our
flatpanel registers stayed unconfigured, so we just saw garbage output.

7198f3c9b1 mmc: fix incorrect interpretation of card type bits
In the extended CSD register the CARD_TYPE is an 8-bit value of which the
upper 6 bits were reserved in JEDEC specifications prior to version 4.4.
In version 4.4 two of the reserved bits were designated for identifying
support for the newly added High-Speed Dual Data Rate.  Unfortunately the
mmc_read_ext_csd() function required that the reserved bits be zero
instead of ignoring them as it should.

This patch makes mmc_read_ext_csd() ignore the CARD_TYPE bits that are
reserved or not yet supported.  It also stops the function jumping to the
end as though an error occurred, when it is only warns that the CARD_TYPE
bits (that it does interpret) are invalid.

3f8b5ee332 reiserfs: properly honor read-only devices
The reiserfs journal behaves inconsistently when determining whether to
allow a mount of a read-only device.

This is due to the use of the continue_replay variable to short circuit
the journal scanning.  If it's set, it's assumed that there are
transactions to replay, but there may not be.  If it's unset, it's assumed
that there aren't any, and that may not be the case either.

I've observed two failure cases:
1) Where a clean file system on a read-only device refuses to mount
2) Where a clean file system on a read-only device passes the
   optimization and then tries writing the journal header to update
   the latest mount id.

The former is easily observable by using a freshly created file system on
a read-only loopback device.

This patch moves the check into journal_read_transaction, where it can
bail out before it's about to replay a transaction.  That way it can go
through and skip transactions where appropriate, yet still refuse to mount
a file system with outstanding transactions.

6cb4aff0a7 reiserfs: fix oops while creating privroot with selinux enabled
Commit 57fe60df ("reiserfs: add atomic addition of selinux attributes
during inode creation") contains a bug that will cause it to oops when
mounting a file system that didn't previously contain extended attributes
on a system using security.* xattrs.

The issue is that while creating the privroot during mount
reiserfs_security_init calls reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks which
dereferences the xattr root.  The xattr root doesn't exist, so we get an
oops.

298359c5bf exit: fix oops in sync_mm_rss
In 2.6.34-rc1, removing vhost_net module causes an oops in sync_mm_rss
(called from do_exit) when workqueue is destroyed.  This does not happen
on net-next, or with vhost on top of to 2.6.33.

The issue seems to be introduced by
34e55232e5 ("mm: avoid false sharing of
mm_counter) which added sync_mm_rss() that is passed task->mm, and
dereferences it without checking.  If task is a kernel thread, mm might be
NULL.  I think this might also happen e.g.  with aio.

This patch fixes the oops by calling sync_mm_rss when task->mm is set to
NULL.  I also added BUG_ON to detect any other cases where counters get
incremented while mm is NULL.

The oops I observed looks like this:

(note: handle_rx_net is a work item using workqueue in question).
sync_mm_rss+0x33/0x6f gave me a hint. I also tried reverting
34e55232e5 and the oops goes away.

The module in question calls use_mm and later unuse_mm from a kernel
thread.  It is when this kernel thread is destroyed that the crash
happens.

413b43deab tmpfs: fix oops on mounts with mpol=default
Fix an 'oops' when a tmpfs mount point is mounted with the mpol=default
mempolicy.

Upon remounting a tmpfs mount point with 'mpol=default' option, the mount
code crashed with a null pointer dereference.  The initial problem report
was on 2.6.27, but the problem exists in mainline 2.6.34-rc as well.  On
examining the code, we see that mpol_new returns NULL if default mempolicy
was requested.  This 'NULL' mempolicy is accessed to store the node mask
resulting in oops.

The following patch fixes it.

cb53237513 mm/ksm.c is doing an unneeded _notify in write_protect_page.
ksm.c's write_protect_page implements a lockless means of verifying a page
does not have any users of the page which are not accounted for via other
kernel tracking means.  It does this by removing the writable pte with TLB
flushes, checking the page_count against the total known users, and then
using set_pte_at_notify to make it a read-only entry.

An unneeded mmu_notifier callout is made in the case where the known users
does not match the page_count.  In that event, we are inserting the
identical pte and there is no need for the set_pte_at_notify, but rather
the simpler set_pte_at suffices.

091e635e67 Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt: correct cpu_relax() documentation
cpu_relax() is documented in volatile-considered-harmful.txt to be a
memory barrier.  However, everyone with the exception of Blackfin and
possibly ia64 defines cpu_relax() to be a compiler barrier.

Make the documentation reflect the general concensus.

Linus sayeth:

: I don't think it was ever the intention that it would be seen as anything
: but a compiler barrier, although it is obviously implied that it might
: well perform some per-architecture actions that have "memory barrier-like"
: semantics.
:
: After all, the whole and only point of the "cpu_relax()" thing is to tell
: the CPU that we're busy-looping on some event.
:
: And that "event" might be (and often is) about reading the same memory
: location over and over until it changes to what we want it to be.  So it's
: quite possible that on various architectures the "cpu_relax()" could be
: about making sure that such a tight loop on loads doesn't starve cache
: transactions, for example - and as such look a bit like a memory barrier
: from a CPU standpoint.
:
: But it's not meant to have any kind of architectural memory ordering
: semantics as far as the kernel is concerned - those must come from other
: sources.

45575f5a42 ppc64 sys_ipc breakage in 2.6.34-rc2
I chased down a fail on ppc64 on 2.6.34-rc2 where an application that
uses shared memory was getting a SEGV.

Commit baed7fc9b5 ("Add generic sys_ipc
wrapper") changed the second argument from an unsigned long to an int.
When we call shmget the system call wrappers for sys_ipc will sign
extend second (ie the size) which truncates it.  It took a while to
track down because the call succeeds and strace shows the untruncated
size :)

The patch below changes second from an int to an unsigned long which
fixes shmget on ppc64 (and I assume s390, sparc64 and mips64).

Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

I assume the function prototypes for the other IPC methods would cause us
to sign or zero extend second where appropriate (avoiding any security
issues). Come to think of it, the syscall wrappers for each method should do
that for us as well.

Commit 3f6da39053
(perf: Rework and fix the arch CPU-hotplug hooks) broke suspend to
RAM on my HP nx6325 (and most likely on other AMD-based boxes too)
by allowing amd_pmu_cpu_offline() to be executed for CPUs that are
going offline as part of the suspend process.  The problem is that
cpuhw->amd_nb may be NULL already, so the function should make sure
it's not NULL before accessing the object pointed to by it.

5e016cbf6c ipv4: Don't drop redirected route cache entry unless PTMU actually expired
TCP sessions over IPv4 can get stuck if routers between endpoints
do not fragment packets but implement PMTU instead, and we are using
those routers because of an ICMP redirect.

Setup is as follows

       MTU1    MTU2   MTU1
    A--------B------C------D

with MTU1 > MTU2. A and D are endpoints, B and C are routers. B and C
implement PMTU and drop packets larger than MTU2 (for example because
DF is set on all packets). TCP sessions are initiated between A and D.
There is packet loss between A and D, causing frequent TCP
retransmits.

After the number of retransmits on a TCP session reaches tcp_retries1,
tcp calls dst_negative_advice() prior to each retransmit. This results
in route cache entries for the peer to be deleted in
ipv4_negative_advice() if the Path MTU is set.

If the outstanding data on an affected TCP session is larger than
MTU2, packets sent from the endpoints will be dropped by B or C, and
ICMP NEEDFRAG will be returned. A and D receive NEEDFRAG messages and
update PMTU.

Before the next retransmit, tcp will again call dst_negative_advice(),
causing the route cache entry (with correct PMTU) to be deleted. The
retransmitted packet will be larger than MTU2, causing it to be
dropped again.

This sequence repeats until the TCP session aborts or is terminated.

Problem is fixed by removing redirected route cache entries in
ipv4_negative_advice() only if the PMTU is expired.
