The reason appears to be ucc_geth_stop meets adjust_link as the
PHY reports PHY changes. I belive adjust_link hangs somewhere,
holding the PHY lock, because ucc_geth_stop disabled the
controller HW.
Fix is to stop the PHY before disabling the controller.

ucc_geth_close lacks a cancel_work_sync(&ugeth->timeout_work)
to stop any outstanding processing of TX fail. However, one
can not call cancel_work_sync without fixing the timeout function
otherwise it will deadlock. This patch brings ucc_geth in line with
gianfar:
Don't bring the interface down and up, just reinit controller HW
and PHY.

nlmsg_total_size() calculates the length of a netlink message
including header and alignment. nla_total_size() calculates the
space an individual attribute consumes which was meant to be used
in this context.
Also, ensure to account for the attribute header for the
IFLA_INFO_XSTATS attribute as implementations of get_xstats_size()
seem to assume that we do so.
The addition of two message headers minus the missing attribute
header resulted in a calculated message size that was larger than
required. Therefore we never risked running out of skb tailroom.

When a PCI bus has two resources with the same start/end, e.g.,
pci_bus 0000:04: resource 2 [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff pref]
pci_bus 0000:04: resource 7 [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff]
the previous pci_bus_find_resource_prev() implementation would alternate
between them forever:
pci_bus_find_resource_prev(... [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff pref])
returns [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff]
pci_bus_find_resource_prev(... [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff])
returns [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff pref]
pci_bus_find_resource_prev(... [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff pref])
returns [mem 0xd0000000-0xd7ffffff]
...
This happened because there was no ordering between two resources with the
same start and end. A resource that had the same start and end as the
cursor, but was not itself the cursor, was considered to be before the
cursor.
This patch fixes the hang by making a fixed ordering between any two
resources.
In addition, it tries to allocate from positively decoded regions before
using any subtractively decoded resources. This means we will use a
positive decode region before a subtractive decode one, even if it means
using a smaller address.

This affects the get/set of the current Ambient Light Zone. Reading
should return an integer between 1..3 (1 = Daylight, 2 = office, 3 =
dark). Writing a value between 1..3 forces the backlight controller to
enter the corresponding Ambient Light Zone. Writing 0 returns to normal
operation.
Fix valid range checking so we don't write invalid values to the
controller, and make sure we subtract 1, since this is what the register
definition (CFGR:BLV) requires. Otherwise the values written don't work
correctly.

The intensity of the backlight can be varied from a range of
max_brightness to zero. Though most, if not all the pwm based backlight
devices start flickering at lower brightness value. And also for each
device there exists a brightness value below which the backlight appears
to be turned off though the value is not equal to zero.
If the range of brightness for a device is from zero to max_brightness. A
graph is plotted for brightness Vs intensity for the pwm based backlight
device has to be a linear graph.
intensity
| /
| /
| /
|/
---------
0 max_brightness
But pratically on measuring the above we note that the intensity of
backlight goes to zero(OFF) when the value in not zero almost nearing to
zero(some x%). so the graph looks like
intensity
| /
| /
| /
| |
------------
0 x max_brightness
In order to overcome this drawback knowing this x% i.e nothing but the low
threshold beyond which the backlight is off and will have no effect, the
brightness value is being offset by the low threshold value(retaining the
linearity of the graph). Now the graph becomes
intensity
| /
| /
| /
| /
-------------
0 max_brightness
With this for each and every digit increment in the brightness from zero
there is a change in the intensity of backlight. Devices having this
behaviour can set the low threshold brightness(lth_brightness) and pass
the same as platform data else can have it as zero.

Currently, blinking LEDs can be awkward because it is not guaranteed that
all LEDs implement blinking. The trigger that wants it to blink then
needs to implement its own timer solution.
Rather than require that, add led_blink_set() API that triggers can use.
This function will attempt to use hw blinking, but if that fails
implements a timer for it. To stop blinking again, brightness_set() also
needs to be wrapped into API that will stop the software blink.
As a result of this, the timer trigger becomes a very trivial one, and
hopefully we can finally see triggers using blinking as well because it's
always easy to use.

Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug:
In the following case, we get can get a deadlock:
0. The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0.
1. The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock.
2. The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item.
3. The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item is
moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued for
deletion after the readers finish.
3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in
the rcu-delayed indirect node.
4. The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref
count
5. The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed or
the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is looking
at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed because
the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop.
The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot
lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.

The kernel syslog contains debugging information that is often useful
during exploitation of other vulnerabilities, such as kernel heap
addresses. Rather than futilely attempt to sanitize hundreds (or
thousands) of printk statements and simultaneously cripple useful
debugging functionality, it is far simpler to create an option that
prevents unprivileged users from reading the syslog.
This patch, loosely based on grsecurity's GRKERNSEC_DMESG, creates the
dmesg_restrict sysctl. When set to "0", the default, no restrictions are
enforced. When set to "1", only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can read the
kernel syslog via dmesg(8) or other mechanisms.

70 hours into some stress tests of a 2.6.32-based enterprise kernel, we
ran into a NULL dereference in here:
int block_is_partially_uptodate(struct page *page, read_descriptor_t *desc,
unsigned long from)
{
----> struct inode *inode = page->mapping->host;
It looks like page->mapping was the culprit. (xmon trace is below).
After closer examination, I realized that do_generic_file_read() does a
find_get_page(), and eventually locks the page before calling
block_is_partially_uptodate(). However, it doesn't revalidate the
page->mapping after the page is locked. So, there's a small window
between the find_get_page() and ->is_partially_uptodate() where the page
could get truncated and page->mapping cleared.
We _have_ a reference, so it can't get reclaimed, but it certainly
can be truncated.
I think the correct thing is to check page->mapping after the
trylock_page(), and jump out if it got truncated. This patch has been
running in the test environment for a month or so now, and we have not
seen this bug pop up again.

clean_sort_range() should return a number of nonempty elements of range
array, but if the array is full clean_sort_range() returns 0.
The problem is that the number of nonempty elements is evaluated by
finding the first empty element of the array. If there is no such element
it returns an initial value of local variable nr_range that is zero.
The fix is trivial: it changes initial value of nr_range to size of the
array.
The bug can lead to loss of information regarding all ranges, since
typically returned value of clean_sort_range() is considered as an actual
number of ranges in the array after a series of add/subtract operations.

There was a signedness bug so "ret" was never less than zero and that
breaks the error handling. Also in the original code it would overwrite
ret and the result is still negative but it's bogus number instead of the
correct error code.

Commit 3e4d3af501cc ("mm: stack based kmap_atomic()") introduced the
kmap_atomic_idx_push() function which warns on in_irq() with
CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM enabled. This patch includes linux/hardirq.h for
the in_irq definition.

Followup of perf tools session in Netfilter WorkShop 2010
In the network stack we make high usage of atomic_inc_not_zero() in
contexts we know the probable value of atomic before increment (2 for udp
sockets for example)
Using a special version of atomic_inc_not_zero() giving this hint can help
processor to use less bus transactions.
On x86 (MESI protocol) for example, this avoids entering Shared state,
because "lock cmpxchg" issues an RFO (Read For Ownership)
akpm: Adds a new include/linux/atomic.h. This means that new code should
henceforth include linux/atomic.h and not asm/atomic.h. The presence of
include/linux/atomic.h will in fact cause checkpatch.pl to warn about use
of asm/atomic.h. The new include/linux/atomic.h becomes the place where
arch-neutral atomic_t code should be placed.

The size calculation is done incorrectly here because it should include
both the start and end (end - start + 1). It's easiest to just use
resource_size() which does the right thing.
I was worried there was something non-standard going on because the
printk() subtracts "end - 1", but the rest of the file uses the normal
resource size calculations. This function is only called from
fsl_rio_setup() in arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_rio.c and the calculation
there is also:
port->iores.start = law_start;
port->iores.end = law_start + law_size - 1;
So I think this is the correct fix.

Both commits 0a3d763f1a68 ("ptrace: cleanup arch_ptrace() on um") and
9b05a69e0534 ("ptrace: change signature of arch_ptrace()") broke the um
build. This patch fixes the issues.
0a3d763f1a68 introduced the undeclared variable "datavp". The patch seems
completely untested. :-(
9b05a69e0534 changed arch_ptrace()'s signature but did not update
um/include/asm/ptrace-generic.h.
