__page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial
MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints. page_is_buddy will detect that
these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem
allocator and not part of zone). Of course the negative here is we could
waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks
for zone boundary conditions.
SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint
when SPARSEMEM is configured. ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic
either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently. This

[PATCH] Cpuset: might sleep checking zones allowed fix
Fix a couple of infrequently encountered 'sleeping function called from
invalid context' in the cpuset hooks in __alloc_pages. Could sleep while
interrupts disabled.
The routine cpuset_zone_allowed() is called by code in mm/page_alloc.c
__alloc_pages() to determine if a zone is allowed in the current tasks
cpuset. This routine can sleep, for certain GFP_KERNEL allocations, if the
zone is on a memory node not allowed in the current cpuset, but might be
allowed in a parent cpuset.
But we can't sleep in __alloc_pages() if in interrupt, nor if called for a
GFP_ATOMIC request (__GFP_WAIT not set in gfp_flags).

Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you
pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables

This rule was being violated in a couple of places, due to a bogus change
made (by myself, pj) to __alloc_pages() as part of the November 2005 effort
to cleanup its logic, and also due to a later fix to constrain which swap
daemons were awoken.
The bogus change can be seen at:

the callback_sem cpuset semaphore.
We haven't seen a system hang on this 'might_sleep' yet, but we are at
decent risk of seeing it fairly soon, especially since the additional
cpuset_zone_allowed() check was added, conditioning wakeup_kswapd(), in

[PATCH] fix race in inotify_release
While doing some inotify stress testing, I hit the following race. In
inotify_release(), it's possible for a watch to be removed from the lists
in between dropping dev->mutex and taking inode->inotify_mutex. The
reference we hold prevents the watch from being freed, but not from being
removed.
Checking the dev's idr mapping will prevent a double list_del of the
same watch.

[PATCH] SPARSEMEM incorrectly calculates section number
A bad calculation/loop in __section_nr() could result in incorrect section
information being put into sysfs memory entries. This primarily impacts
memory add operations as the sysfs information is used while onlining new
memory.
Fix suggested by Dave Hansen.
Note that the bug may not be obvious from the patch. It actually occurs in
the function's return statement:
In the existing code, root_nr has already been multiplied by
SECTIONS_PER_ROOT.

[PATCH] binfmt_flat: don't check for EMFILE
Bernd Schmidt points out that binfmt_flat is now leaving the exec file open
while the application runs. This offsets all the application's fd numbers.
We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time.
But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid
going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds. So take the EMFILE
checking out again. This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's
exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test. That test appears to be
wrong anyway - Open Group specs say nothing about exec() returning EMFILE.

[PATCH] NFS server subtree_check returns dubious value
Address a problem found when a Linux NFS server uses the "subtree_check"
export option.
The "subtree_check" NFS export option was designed to prohibit a client
from using a file handle for which it should not have permission. The
algorithm used is to ensure that the entire path to the file being
referenced is accessible to the user attempting to use the file handle. If
some part of the path is not accessible, then the operation is aborted and
the appropriate version of ESTALE is returned to the NFS client.
The error, ESTALE, is unfortunate in that it causes NFS clients to make
certain assumptions about the continued existence of the file. They assume
that the file no longer exists and refuse to attempt to access it again.
In this case, the file really does exist, but access was denied by the
server for a particular user.
A better error to return would be an EACCES sort of error. This would
inform the client that the particular operation that it was attempting was
not allowed, without the nasty side effects of the ESTALE error.

It looks like the generic ide code now wants ide_init_hwif_ports() to set
the parent struct device into the ide_hw structure (new field ?). Without
this, the mac ide code can cause the ide probing code to explode in flames
in sysfs registration due to what looks like a stale pointer in there
(happens when removing/re-inserting one of the hotswap media bays on some
laptops).

[PATCH] matroxfb: fix DVI setup to be more compatible
There has been a longstanding problem with the Matrox G450 and perhaps
other similar cards, with modes "above" 1280x1024-60 on ppc/ppc64 boxes
running Linux. Higher resolutions and/or higher refresh rates resulted in
a very noticably "jittery" display, and sometimes no display, depending on
the physical monitor. This patch fixes that problem on the systems I have
easy access to...
I've tested with SLES9SP3 (2.6.5+ kernel) and 2.6.16-rc6 custom kernels on
an IBM eServer p5 520 w/G450 (a.k.a GXT135P on IBM's ppc64 systems), and a
colleague of mine (Ian Romanick) tested it successfully on an Apple ppc32
box (w/GXT135P). I also tested it on IA32 box I have with a GXT135P to
verify that it didn't obviously break anything. In my testing, I covered
single-card, single and dual-head setups using both HD15 and DVI-D signals,
on both the IA32 and ppc64 boxes. While everything appeared fine on both
boxes, I did encounter one problem: I can't get any signal on the DVI-D
output on the ppc64 box. However, this is also the case without my patch.
I just noticed that screen-blanking only occurs on the primary display as
well.

[PATCH] NFS: fix error handling on access_ok in compat_sys_nfsservctl
Functions compat_nfs_svc_trans, compat_nfs_clnt_trans,
compat_nfs_exp_trans, compat_nfs_getfd_trans and compat_nfs_getfs_trans,
which are called by compat_sys_nfsservctl(fs/compat.c), don't handle the
return value of access_ok properly. access_ok return 1 when the addr is
valid, and 0 when it's not, but these functions have the reversed
understanding. When the address is valid, they always return -EFAULT to
compat_sys_nfsservctl.
An example is to run /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd(32bit program on Power5). It
doesn't function as expected. strace showes that nfsservctl returns
-EFAULT.
The patch fixes this by correcting the error handling on the return value
of access_ok in the five functions.
