83d722f [PATCH] Remove __devinit and __cpuinit from notifier_call definitions Few of the notifier_chain_register() callers use __init in the definition of notifier_call. It is incorrect as the function definition should be available after the initializations (they do not unregister them during initializations). This patch fixes all such usages to _not_ have the notifier_call __init section.

649bbaa [PATCH] Remove __devinitdata from notifier block definitions Few of the notifier_chain_register() callers use __devinitdata in the definition of notifier_block data structure. It is incorrect as the data structure should be available after the initializations (they do not unregister them during initializations). This was leading to an oops when notifier_chain_register() call is invoked for those callback chains after initialization. This patch fixes all such usages to _not_ have the notifier_block data structure in the init data section.

e7edf9c [PATCH] LSM: add missing hook to do_compat_readv_writev() This patch addresses a flaw in LSM, where there is no mediation of readv() and writev() in for 32-bit compatible apps using a 64-bit kernel. This bug was discovered and fixed initially in the native readv/writev code [1], but was not fixed in the compat code. Thanks to Al for spotting this one.

6ad0013 [PATCH] fix mips sys32_p{read,write} Switched to use of sys_pread64()/sys_pwrite64() rather than keep duplicating their guts; among the little things that had been missing there were such as ret = security_file_permission (file, MAY_READ); Gotta love the LSM robustness, right?

de0bb97 [PATCH] forgotten ->b_data in memcpy() call in ext3/resize.c (oopsable) sbi->s_group_desc is an array of pointers to buffer_head. memcpy() of buffer size from address of buffer_head is a bad idea - it will generate junk in any case, may oops if buffer_head is close to the end of slab page and next page is not mapped and isn't what was intended there. IOW, ->b_data is missing in that call. Fortunately, result doesn't go into the primary on-disk data structures, so only backup ones get crap written to them; that had allowed this bug to remain unnoticed until now.

912d35f [PATCH] Add support for the sys_vmsplice syscall sys_splice() moves data to/from pipes with a file input/output. sys_vmsplice() moves data to a pipe, with the input being a user address range instead.

8aa09a5 [fuse] fix race between checking and setting file->private_data BKL does not protect against races if the task may sleep between checking and setting a value.

6dbbcb1 [fuse] fix deadlock between fuse_put_super() and request_end(), try #2 A deadlock was possible, when the last reference to the superblock was held due to a background request containing a file reference. Releasing the file would release the vfsmount which in turn would release the superblock. Since sbput_sem is held during the fput() and fuse_put_super() tries to acquire this same semaphore, a deadlock results. The solution is to move the fput() outside the region protected by sbput_sem.

5a5fb1e Revert "[fuse] fix deadlock between fuse_put_super() and request_end()" This reverts 73ce8355c243a434524a34c05cc417dd0467996e commit. It was wrong, because it didn't take into account the requirement, that iput() for background requests must be performed synchronously with ->put_super(), otherwise active inodes may remain after unmount. The right solution is to keep the sbput_sem and perform iput() within the locked region, but move fput() outside sbput_sem.

c7fd844 [ARM] 3484/1: Correct AEABI CFLAGS for correct enum handling Patch from Richard Purdie The AAPCS says that enums can be variably sized depending on the range of valid values.

e1bbdeb [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: Fix module refcount dropping too far If nf_ct_l3proto_find_get() fails to get the refcount of nf_ct_l3proto_generic, nf_ct_l3proto_put() will drop the refcount too far. This gets rid of '.me = THIS_MODULE' of nf_ct_l3proto_generic so that nf_ct_l3proto_find_get() doesn't try to get refcount of it. It's OK because its symbol is usable until nf_conntrack.ko is unloaded. This also kills unnecessary NULL pointer check as well. __nf_ct_proto_find() allways returns non-NULL pointer.

8b006db [PATCH] tpm: update bios log code for 1.2 The acpi table which contains the BIOS log events was updated for 1.2. There are now client and server modes as defined in the specifications with slightly different formats. Additionally, the start field was even too small for the 1.1 version but had been working anyway. This patch updates the code to deal with any of the three types of headers probperly (1.1, 1.2 client and 1.2 server).

08e96e4 [PATCH] tpm: new 1.2 sysfs files Many of the sysfs files were calling the TPM_GetCapability command with array. Since for 1.2 more sysfs files of this type are coming I am generalizing the array so there can be one array and the unique parts can be filled in just before the command is called. This updated version of the patch breaks the multi-value sysfs file into separate files pointed out by Greg.

9e18ee1 [PATCH] tpm: command duration update With the TPM 1.2 Specification, each command is classified as short, medium or long and the chip tells you the maximum amount of time for a response to each class of command. This patch provides and array of the classifications and a function to determine how long the response should be waited for. Also, it uses that information in the command processing to determine how long to poll for. The function is exported so the 1.2 driver can use the functionality to determine how long to wait for a DataAvailable interrupt if interrupts are being used.

3c2f606 [PATCH] tpm: spacing cleanups The following patch set contains numerous changes to the base tpm driver (tpm.c) to support the next generation of TPM chips. The changes include new sysfs files because of more relevant data being available, a function to access the timeout and duration values for the chip, and changes to make use of those duration values. Duration in the TPM specification is defined as the maximum amount of time the chip could take to return the results. Commands are in one of three categories short, medium and long. Also included are cleanups of how the commands for the sysfs files are composed to reduce a bunch of redundant arrays. This patch: Fix minor spacing issues.

304dbdb [PATCH] add migratepage address space op to shmem Basic problem: pages of a shared memory segment can only be migrated once. In 2.6.16 through 2.6.17-rc1, shared memory mappings do not have a migratepage address space op. Therefore, migrate_pages() falls back to default processing. In this path, it will try to pageout() dirty pages. Once a shared memory page has been migrated it becomes dirty, so migrate_pages() will try to page it out. However, because the page count is 3 [cache + current + pte], pageout() will return PAGE_KEEP because is_page_cache_freeable() returns false. This will abort all subsequent migrations. This patch adds a migratepage address space op to shared memory segments to avoid taking the default path. We use the "migrate_page()" function because it knows how to migrate dirty pages. This allows shared memory segment pages to migrate, subject to other conditions such as # pte's referencing the page [page_mapcount(page)], when requested. I think this is safe. If we're migrating a shared memory page, then we found the page via a page table, so it must be in memory.
