ip6_dst_blackhole_ops.kmem_cachep is not expected to be NULL (i.e. to
be initialized) when dst_alloc() is called from ip6_dst_blackhole().
Otherwise, it results in the following (xfrm_larval_drop is now set to
1 by default):

The following actions are possible:
tcp_v6_rcv
skb->dev = NULL;
tcp_v6_do_rcv
tcp_v6_hnd_req
tcp_check_req
req->rsk_ops->send_ack == tcp_v6_send_ack
So, skb->dev can be NULL in tcp_v6_send_ack. We must obtain namespace
from dst entry.

After investigating a JRE failure, I found this bug was introduced a
long time ago, and had already managed to survive another bugfix which
occurred on the same line. The result is a total failure of the JRE due
to LDT selectors not working properly.
This one took a long time to rear up because LDT usage is not very
common, but the bug is quite serious. It got introduced along with
another bug, already fixed, by 75b8bb3e56ca09a467fbbe5229bc68627f7445be

Since call to function sctp_sf_abort_violation() need paramter 'arg' with
'struct sctp_chunk' type, it will read the chunk type and chunk length from
the chunk_hdr member of chunk. But call to sctp_sf_violation_paramlen()
always with 'struct sctp_paramhdr' type's parameter, it will be passed to
sctp_sf_abort_violation(). This may cause kernel panic.
sctp_sf_violation_paramlen()
|-- sctp_sf_abort_violation()
|-- sctp_make_abort_violation()
This patch fixed this problem. This patch also fix two place which called
sctp_sf_violation_paramlen() with wrong paramter type.

The error path in cs4270_probe/cs4270_remove is pretty broken:
* If cs4270_probe fails, codec is leaked.
* If snd_soc_register_card fails, cs4270_i2c_driver stays registered.
* If I2C support is enabled but no I2C device is found, i2c_del_driver
is never called (neither in cs4270_probe nor in cs4270_remove.
Fix all 3 problems by implementing a clean error path in cs4270_probe
and jumping to its labels as needed.

I tracked down the shutdown regression to CPUs not dying
when being shut down during power-off. This turns out to
be due to the system_state being SYSTEM_POWER_OFF, which
this code doesn't take as a valid state for shutting off
CPUs in.
This has never made sense to me, but when I added hotplug
code to implement hibernate I only "made it work" and did
not question the need to check the system_state. Thomas
Gleixner helped me dig, but the only thing we found is
that it was added with the original commit that added CPU
hotplug support.

The PCI bridge on the Holly board is incorrectly represented in the
device tree. The current device tree node for the PCI bridge sits
under the tsi-bridge node. That's not obviously wrong, but the PCI
bridge translates some PCI spaces into CPU address ranges which were
not translated by the "ranges" property in tsi-bridge node.
We used to get away with this problem because the PCI bridge discovery
code was also buggy, assuming incorrectly that PCI host bridge nodes
were always directly under the root bus and treating the translated
addresses as raw CPU addresses, rather than parent bus addresses.
This has since been fixed, thus breaking Holly.
This could be fixed by adding extra translations to the tsi-bridge
node, but this patch instead moves the Holly PCI bridge out of the
tsi-bridge node to the root bus. This makes the tsi-bridge node
represent only the built-in IO devices in the bridge, with a
more-or-less contiguous address range. This is the same convention
used on Freescale SoC chips, where the "soc" node represents only the
IMMR region, and the PCI and other bus bridges are separate nodes
under the root bus.

There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily
seen when task slab poisoning is turned on. The condition occurs when
try_to_unuse() runs in parallel with an exiting task. A similar race
can occur with callers of get_task_mm(), such as /proc/<pid>/<mmstats>
or ptrace or page migration.
CPU0 CPU1
try_to_unuse
looks at mm = task0->mm
increments mm->mm_users
task 0 exits
mm->owner needs to be updated, but no
new owner is found (mm_users > 1, but
no other task has task->mm = task0->mm)
mm_update_next_owner() leaves
mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users
task0 freed
dereferencing mm->owner fails
The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(),
if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL.
Jiri Slaby:
mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but
must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops.
Daisuke Nishimura:
mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task()
and its callers need to take account of this situation to avoid oops.
Hugh Dickins:
Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches.
exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(),
so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same. And with that repositioning,
there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm.

Impact: per CPU hrtimers can be migrated from a dead CPU
The hrtimer code has no knowledge about per CPU timers, but we need to
prevent the migration of such timers and warn when such a timer is
active at migration time.
Explicitely mark the timers as per CPU and use a more understandable

Impact: during migration active hrtimers can be seen as inactive
The migration code removes the hrtimers from the queues of the dead
CPU and sets the state temporary to INACTIVE. The enqueue code sets it
to ACTIVE/PENDING again.
Prevent that the wrong state can be seen by using a separate migration
state bit.

Impact: Stale timers after a CPU went offline.
commit 37bb6cb4097e29ffee970065b74499cbf10603a3
hrtimer: unlock hrtimer_wakeup
changed the hrtimer sleeper callback mode to CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ due
to locking problems. A result of this change is that when enqueue is
called for an already expired hrtimer the callback function is not
longer called directly from the enqueue code. The normal callers have
been fixed in the code, but the migration code which moves hrtimers
from a dead CPU to a live CPU was not made aware of this.
This can be fixed by checking the timer state after the call to
enqueue in the migration code.

Commit f072181e6403b0fe2e2aa800a005497b748fd284 ("kconfig: drop the
""trying to assign nonexistent symbol" warning") simply dropped the
warnings, but it does a little more than that, it also marks the current
.config as needed saving, so add this back.

Recent changes to oldconfig have mixed up the silentoldconfig handling,
so this fixes that by clearly separating that special mode, e.g.
KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE is only relevant here, the .config is written as
needed.
This will also properly close Bug 11230.

The VFS interface for the 'd_compare()' is a bit special (read: 'odd'),
because it really just essentially replaces a memcmp(). The filesystem
is supposed to just compare the two names with whatever case-independent
or other function.
And when I say 'is supposed to', I obviously mean that 'procfs does odd
things, and actually looks at the dentry that we don't even pass down,
rather than just the name'. Which results in problems, because we
actually call d_compare before we have even verified that the dentry is
still hashed at all.
And that causes a problm since the inode that procfs looks at may have
been free'd and the d_inode pointer is NULL. procfs just assumes that
all dentries are positive, since procfs itself never generates a
negative one. But memory pressure will still result in the dentry
getting torn down, and as it is removed by RCU, it still remains visible
on some lists - and to d_compare.
If the filesystem just did a name comparison, we wouldn't care. And we
could just fix procfs to know about negative dentries too. But rather
than have the low-level filesystems know about internal VFS details,
just move the check for a unhashed dentry up a bit, so that we will only
call d_compare on dentries that are still active.
The actual oops this caused didn't look like a NULL pointer dereference
because procfs did a 'container_of(inode, struct proc_inode, vfs_inode)'
to get at its internal proc_inode information from the inode pointer,
and accessed a field below the inode. So the oops would look something
like
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0
IP: [<ffffffff802bc6c6>] proc_sys_compare+0x36/0x50
and was seen on both x86-64 (Alexey Dobriyan and Hugh Dickins) and

Update the CS4270 ALSA device driver to use the new-style I2C interface.
Starting with the 2.6.27 PowerPC kernel, I2C devices that have entries in the
device trees can no longer be probed by old-style I2C drivers. The device
tree for Freescale MPC8610 HPCD has included an entry for the CS4270 since
2.6.25, but that entry was previously ignored by the PowerPC I2C subsystem.
Since that's no longer the case, the best solution is to update the CS4270
driver to a new-style interface, rather than try to revert the behavior of
new PowerPC I2C subsystem.

In the load_cmd() there is a compound loop where the first 4 sg's are
set then the rest are set into a memory structure in group of 7 sg's.
Well the second 7-group and on is a bug because sg pointer does not advance.
This is a fall out from Jens's patch."

Commit 2fd673ecf0378ddeeeb87b3605e50212e0c0ddc6 which tried to remove
hardreset for generic accidentally removed it for all flavors as all
others were inheriting from nv_generic_ops. This patch reinstates
nv_hardreset() and puts it into nv_common_ops which all flavors
inherit from. nv_generic_ops now inherits from nv_common_ops and
overrides .hardreset to ATA_OP_NULL.
While at it, explain why nv_hardreset and ATA_OP_NULL override are
necessary.

The current sg list traversal logic for the continuation entries
doesn't advance the list pointer once all seven slots are used, so the
next continuation entry (if there is one) wrongly begins again at the
start of the sg list.
Fix by advancing the sg pointer after the for_each_sg().
