uids in namespaces other than init don't get a sysfs entry.
For those in the init namespace, while we're waiting to remove
the sysfs entry for the uid the uid is still hashed, and
alloc_uid() may re-grab that uid without getting a new
reference to the user_ns, which we've already put in free_user
before scheduling remove_user_sysfs_dir().

ASoC supports both explicit codec drivers for AC97 devices and a simple
driver which uses the standard ALSA AC97 framework for codec support.
When used with the generic AC97 codec support that will provide the
ad hoc AC97 device for drivers like touchscreens to attach to so the
core shouldn't do so.

Added the helper function snd_hda_multi_out_dig_cleanup() to clean up
the digital outputs with multi setup. This call is needed in cases
the codec supports multiple digital outputs as slaves. Otherwise the
slave widgets aren't properly cleaned up.
For a single digital output (e.g. in patch_conexant.c), this call isn't
needed.

Change HP dv7 quirk: although reported to work with hp-m4 model
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445321), the original
report doesn't contain info about testing of internal microphone.
Recently I received a report about internal mic not working
(https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44855#c193), this must be
related with the forced line in on pin 0x0e done with hp-m4 model. Thus
change the current quirk from STAC_HP_M4 to STAC_HP_DV5, later reported
to be fixed on a provided kernel with this change
(https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44855#c196).

When a non-wimax interface is looked up by the stack, a bad pointer is
returned when the looked-up interface is not found in the list (of
registered WiMAX interfaces). This causes an oops in the caller when
trying to use the pointer.
Fix by properly setting the pointer to NULL if we don't exit from the
list_for_each() with a found entry.

In function sock_getsockopt() located in net/core/sock.c, optval v.val
is not correctly initialized and directly returned in userland in case
we have SO_BSDCOMPAT option set.
This dummy code should trigger the bug:
int main(void)
{
unsigned char buf[4] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
int len;
int sock;
sock = socket(33, 2, 2);
getsockopt(sock, 1, SO_BSDCOMPAT, &buf, &len);
printf("%x%x%x%x\n", buf[0], buf[1], buf[2], buf[3]);
close(sock);
}
Here is a patch that fix this bug by initalizing v.val just after its
declaration.

The problem is that in_atomic() will return false inside spinlocks if
CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. This will lead to deadlockable GFP_KERNEL allocations
from spinlocked regions.
Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking
will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite. Hence we won't get the
might_sleep() debugging warnings which would have informed us of the buggy
callsites.
Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt(). Now, if someone
runs a gfp_any() allocation from inside spinlock we will get the warning
if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.
I reviewed all callsites and most of them were too complex for my little
brain and none of them documented their interface requirements. I have no
idea what this patch will do.

A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit
31a12666d8f0c22235297e1c1575f82061480029 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic
fix"). The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and
look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no
more work to be done.
But the !done condition was dropped from the test. This means that any
time the page writeout loop breaks (eg. due to nr_to_write == 0), we
will set index to 0, then goto again. This will set done_index to
index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the
function. When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout,
we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0.
This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to
start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and
caused bugzilla entry
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604
about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically.
With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly
5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).

Fix a problem that causes I/O to a disconnected (or partially initialized)
nbd device to hang indefinitely. To reproduce:
# ioctl NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS /dev/nbd23 514048
# dd if=/dev/nbd23 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1
...hangs...
This can also occur when an nbd device loses its nbd-client/server
connection. Although we clear the queue of any outstanding I/Os after the
client/server connection fails, any additional I/Os that get queued later
will hang.
This bug may also be the problem reported in this bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12277
Testing would need to be performed to determine if the two issues are the
same.
This problem was introduced by the new request handling thread code ("NBD:
allow nbd to be used locally", 3/2008), which entered into mainline around
2.6.25.
The fix, which is fairly simple, is to restore the check for lo->sock
being NULL in do_nbd_request. This causes I/O to an uninitialized nbd to
immediately fail with an I/O error, as it did prior to the introduction of
this bug.

Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]:
> Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU.
> Seems like Xen tears down current->mm early on process termination, so
> that __get_user_pages in exit_mmap causes nasty messages when the
> process had any mlocked pages. (in fact, it somehow manages to get into
> the swapping code and produces a null pointer dereference trying to get
> a swap token)
Jeremy explained:
Yes. In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned",
meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall
(or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing). An
unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be
directly accessed as normal RW pages.
As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early
as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal
pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses.
This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap(). The munlocking happens
a few lines below. The obvious thing to do would be to move
arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to
call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side.
Thus, this patch:
exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap,
as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the
former to fail.

With the new system call defines we get this on uml:
arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table':
(.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask'
Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option
-Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel.
This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system
call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask. However sys_sigprocmask is missing
because of this.
To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the
name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.
This was pointed out by Al Viro.

For a reason that I was unable to understand in three months of debugging,
mount ext2 -o remount stopped working properly when remounting from
regular operation to xip, or the other way around. According to a git
bisect search, the problem was introduced with the VM_MIXEDMAP/PTE_SPECIAL
rework in the vm:
commit 70688e4dd1647f0ceb502bbd5964fa344c5eb411
Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
Date: Mon Apr 28 02:13:02 2008 -0700
xip: support non-struct page backed memory
In the failing scenario, the filesystem is mounted read only via root=
kernel parameter on s390x. During remount (in rc.sysinit), the inodes of
the bash binary and its libraries are busy and cannot be invalidated (the
bash which is running rc.sysinit resides on subject filesystem).
Afterwards, another bash process (running ifup-eth) recurses into a
subshell, runs dup_mm (via fork). Some of the mappings in this bash
process were created from inodes that could not be invalidated during
remount.
Both parent and child process crash some time later due to inconsistencies
in their address spaces. The issue seems to be timing sensitive, various
attempts to recreate it have failed.
This patch refuses to change the xip flag during remount in case some
inodes cannot be invalidated. This patch keeps users from running into
that issue.

I enabled all cgroup subsystems when compiling kernel, and then:

# mkdir /mnt/0
This showed up immediately:
BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES too low!
turning off the locking correctness validator.
It's caused by the cgroup hierarchy lock:
for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) {
struct cgroup_subsys *ss = subsys[i];
if (ss->root == root)
mutex_lock_nested(&ss->hierarchy_mutex, i);

Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'pid_t'
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'int'
because the macro parameters all "look like" function parameters,
although they are not:
/**

* @tgid: the thread group ID of the thread
* @pid: the PID of the thread
* @sig: signal to be sent
*
* This syscall also checks the @tgid and returns -ESRCH even if the PID
* exists but it's not belonging to the target process anymore. This
* method solves the problem of threads exiting and PIDs getting reused.

When I tested following program, I found that the mlocked counter
is strange. It cannot free some mlocked pages.
It is because try_to_unmap_file() doesn't check real
page mappings in vmas.
That is because the goal of an address_space for a file is to find all
processes into which the file's specific interval is mapped. It is
related to the file's interval, not to pages.
Even if the page isn't really mapped by the vma, it returns SWAP_MLOCK
since the vma has VM_LOCKED, then calls try_to_mlock_page. After this the
mlocked counter is increased again.
COWed anon page in a file-backed vma could be a such case. This patch
resolves it.

mlockall(MCL_CURRENT);

This reverts commit c87591b719737b4e91eb1a9fa8fd55a4ff1886d6.
Since journal_start_commit() is now fixed to return 1 when we started a
transaction commit, there's some transaction waiting to be committed or
there's a transaction already committing, we don't need to call
ext3_force_commit() in ext3_sync_fs(). Furthermore ext3_force_commit()
can unnecessarily create sync transaction which is expensive so it's
worthwhile to remove it when we can.

journal_start_commit() returns 1 if either a transaction is committing or
the function has queued a transaction commit. But it returns 0 if we
raced with somebody queueing the transaction commit as well. This
resulted in ext3_sync_fs() not functioning correctly (description from
Arthur Jones): In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long
symlinks which are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing
block device, this causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to
not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second phase of fsync_super.
Then, before they can be dirtied again, kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT
flag and the dirty pages are never written to the backing block device,
causing long symlink corruption and exposing new or previously freed block
data to userspace.
This can be reproduced with a script created by Eric Sandeen
<sandeen@redhat.com>:
#!/bin/bash
umount /mnt/test2
mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
rm -f /mnt/test2/*
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512
touch /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
ln -s /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
/mnt/test2/link
umount /mnt/test2
mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
ls /mnt/test2/
This patch fixes journal_start_commit() to always return 1 when there's
a transaction committing or queued for commit.

We need to pass an unsigned long as the minimum, because it gets casted
to an unsigned long in the sysctl handler. If we pass an int, we'll
access four more bytes on 64bit arches, resulting in a random minimum
value.
