[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ]
I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race
between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in
vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL.
What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into
con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to
tty->driver_data. Then process A closes that and concurrently process
B opens /dev/tty6. Process A gets through con_close() and clears
tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1. However, before process A
can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the
down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626).
So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2,
as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called.
Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data. Then when the
process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses.
The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data
rather than tty->count in con_open. The testing and setting of
tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of
tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem. We can't get a
situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then
con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because
tty->count is incremented before con_open is called. Thus this patch
eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't
oops.

This patch fixes a severe problem with 2.6.13-rc7.
Due to recent SCSI changes it is not possible to add any LUNs to the zfcp
device driver anymore. With registration of remote ports this is fixed.

I know that scsi procfs is legacy code but this is a fix for a memory leak.
While reading through sg.c I realized that the implementation of
/proc/scsi/sg/devices with seq_file is leaking memory due to freeing the
pointer returned by the next() iterator method. Since next() might return
NULL or an error this is wrong. This patch fixes it through using the
seq_files private field for holding the reference to the iterator object.
Here is a small bash script to trigger the leak. Use slabtop to watch
the size-32 usage grow and grow.
#!/bin/sh
while true; do
cat /proc/scsi/sg/devices > /dev/null
done

Fixed race between submitting streaming URBs in the driver and starting
the actual transfer in hardware (demodulator and USB controller) which
sometimes lead to garbled data transfers. URBs are now submitted first,
then the transfer is enabled. Dibusb devices and clones are now fully
functional again.

When acpi_sleep_prepare was moved into a shutdown method we

Don't check type of sax25_family; dev_set_mac_address has already done
that before and anyway, the type to check against would have been
ARPHRD_AX25. We only got away because AF_AX25 and ARPHRD_AX25 both happen
to be defined to the same value.
Don't check sax25_ndigis either; it's value is insignificant for the
purpose of setting the MAC address and the check has shown to break
some application software for no good reason.

Coverity uncovered an off-by-one error in the fscpos driver, in function
set_temp_reset(). Writing to the temp3_reset sysfs file will lead to an
array overrun, in turn causing an I2C write to a random register of the
FSC Poseidon chip. Additionally, writing to temp1_reset and temp2_reset
will not work as expected. The fix is straightforward.

spinlock used in irq handler should be initialized before registering
irq, even if we know that our device has interrupts disabled; handler
is registered shared and taking spinlock is done unconditionally. As
it is, we can and do get oopsen on boot for some configuration, depending
on irq routing - I've got a reproducer.

Writing even a disabled value seems to mess up some matrox graphics
cards. It may be a card-related issue, but we may also be writing
reserved low bits in the result.
This was a fall-out of switching x86 over to the generic PCI resource
allocation code, and needs more debugging. In particular, the old x86
code defaulted to not doing any resource allocations at all for ROM
resources.
In the meantime, this has been reported to make X happier by Helge
Hafting <helgehaf@aitel.hist.no>.

The tg3_abort_hw() call in tg3_test_loopback() is causing lockups on
some devices. tg3_abort_hw() disables the memory arbiter, causing
tg3_reset_hw() to hang when it tries to write the pre-reset signature.
tg3_abort_hw() should only be called after the pre-reset signature has
been written. This is all done in tg3_reset_hw() so the tg3_abort_hw()
call is unnecessary and can be removed.

One critical fix and two minor fixes for 2.6.13-rc7:
- Max depth must currently be 2 to allow barriers to function on SCSI
- Prefer sync request over async in choosing the next request
- Never allow async request to preempt or disturb the "anticipation" for
a single cfq process context. This is as-designed, the code right now
is buggy in that area.
