2005-12-01[PATCH] mark several libata datastructures constArjan van de Ven
Hi, the patch below marks several libata (and libata-driver) structures const so that they end up in the .rodata segment and don't false-share cachelines with things that get dirtied often. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

2005-11-30VM: add "vm_insert_page()" functionLinus Torvalds
This is what a lot of drivers will actually want to use to insert individual pages into a user VMA. It doesn't have the old PageReserved restrictions of remap_pfn_range(), and it doesn't complain about partial remappings. The page you insert needs to be a nice clean kernel allocation, so you can't insert arbitrary page mappings with this, but that's not what people want.

2005-11-29[PATCH] USB: Fix USB suspend/resume crasher (#2)Benjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch closes the IRQ race and makes various other OHCI & EHCI code path safer vs. suspend/resume. I've been able to (finally !) successfully suspend and resume various Mac models, with or without USB mouse plugged, or plugging while asleep, or unplugging while asleep etc... all without a crash. Alan, please verify the UHCI bit I did, I only verified that it builds. It's very simple so I wouldn't expect any issue there. If you aren't confident, then just drop the hunks that change uhci-hcd.c I also made the patch a little bit more "safer" by making sure the store to the interrupt register that disables interrupts is not posted before I set the flag and drop the spinlock. Without this patch, you cannot reliably sleep/wakeup any recent Mac, and I suspect PCs have some more sneaky issues too (they don't frankly crash with machine checks because x86 tend to silently swallow PCI errors but that won't last afaik, at least PCI Express will blow up in those situations, but the USB code may still misbehave).

2005-11-29[PATCH] hfsplus: don't modify journaled volumeRoman Zippel
Access to a journaled HFS+ volume is not officially supported under Linux, so mount such a volume read-only, but users can override this behaviour using the "force" mount option. The minimum requirement to relax this check is to at least check that the journal is empty and so nothing needs to be replayed to make sure the volume is consistent.

2005-11-29[PATCH] reiserfs: handle cnode allocation failure gracefullyJeff Mahoney
If an external device is used for a journal, by default it will use the entire device. The reiserfs journal code allocates structures per journal block when it mounts the file system. If the journal device is too large, and memory cannot be allocated for the structures, it will continue and ultimately panic when it can't pull one off the free list. This patch handles the allocation failure gracefully and prints an error message at mount time. Changes: Updated error message to be more descriptive to the user.

2005-11-29[PATCH] Fix crash when ptrace poking hugepage areasDavid Gibson
set_page_dirty() will not cope with being handed a page * which is part of a compound page, but not the master page in that compound page. This case can occur via access_process_vm() if you attemp to write to another process's hugepage memory area using ptrace() (causing an oops or hang). This patch fixes the bug by only calling set_page_dirty() from access_process_vm() if the page is not a compound page. We already use a similar fix in bio_set_pages_dirty() for the case of direct io to hugepages.

2005-11-29[PATCH] process events connector: uid_t gid_t size issuesMatt Helsley
The uid_t and gid_t fields appear to present a 32/64-bit userspace/kernel problem for some archs. This patch addresses the problem by fixing the size to the largest size for uid_t/gid_t used in the kernel. This preserves the total size of the event structure while ensuring that the layouts of the ID change event match in 32 and 64-bit kernels and applications.

This fixes a bug noticed by Paolo Galtieri and fixed for ARCH=ppc in the previous commit (ppc: fix floating point register corruption). This fixes the arch/powerpc code by adding preempt_disable/enable, and also cleans it up a bit by pulling out the code that discards any lazily-switched CPU register state into a new function, rather than having that code repeated in three places.
