If previous window was above representable values of u16,
strange things will happen if undo with the truncated value
is called for. Alternatively, this could be fixed by some
max trickery but that would limit undoing high-speed undos.
Adds 16-bit hole but there isn't anything to fill it with.

Greg Steuck <greg@nest.cx> points out that some of the netfilter
headers can't be used in userspace without including linux/types.h
first. The headers include their own linux/types.h include statements,
these are stripped by make headers-install because they are inside
#ifdef __KERNEL__ however. Move them out to fix this.

We want to have the drvdata field set properly when creating the device
as sysfs callbacks can assume it is present and it can race the later
setting of this field.
So, create two new functions, deviec_create_vargs() and
device_create_drvdata() that take this new field.
device_create_drvdata() will go away in 2.6.27 as the drvdata field will
just be moved to the device_create() call as it should be.

Since 2.6.25 the HID_QUIRK_APPLE_HAS_FN quirk is enabled even for
non-laptop Apple keyboards of the Aluminium series. The USB version of
these don't need Numlock emulation, like the laptop (and Aluminium
Wireless) do, as they have a proper keypad.
This patch splits the Numlock emulation for Apple keyboards in a
different quirk flag, so that it can be enabled for all the keyboards
but the Aluminium USB ones.
If the Numlock emulation is enabled for Aluminium USB keyboards, the
JKL and UIO keys become the numeric pad, and the rest of the keyboard
is disabled, included the key used to disable Numlock.
Additionally, these keyboard should not have a Numlock at all, as the
Numlock key is instead replaced by the 'Clear' key as usual for Apple
USB keyboards.

I was hoping ATA_HORKAGE_NODMA | ATA_HORKAGE_SKIP_PM could keep it
happy but no even this doesn't work under certain configurations and
it's not like we can do anything useful with the cofig device anyway.
Replace ATA_HORKAGE_SKIP_PM with ATA_HORKAGE_DISABLE and use it for
the config device. This makes the device completely ignored by
libata.

This timeout was set low because previously PMP register access was
done via polling and register access timeouts could stack up. This is
no longer the case. One timeout will make all following accesses fail
immediately.
In rare cases both marvell and SIMG PMPs need almost a second. Bump
it to 3s.
While at it, rename it to SATA_PMP_RW_TIMEOUT. It's not specific to

An NFS_WRITE requires a set of RDMA_READ requests to fetch the write
data from the client. There are two principal pieces of data that
need to be tracked: the list of pages that comprise the completed RPC
and the SGE of dma mapped pages to refer to this list of pages. Previously
this whole bit was managed as a linked list of contexts with the
context containing the page list buried in this list. This patch
simplifies this processing by not keeping a linked list, but rather only
a pionter from the last submitted RDMA_READ's context to the context
that maps the set of pages that describe the RPC. This significantly
simplifies this code path. SGE contexts are cleaned up inline in the DTO
path instead of at read completion time.

Everybody wants to pass it a function pointer, and in fact, that is what
you _must_ pass it for it to make sense (since it knows that ia64 and
ppc64 use descriptors for function pointers and fetches the actual
address from there).
So don't make the argument be a 'unsigned long' and force everybody to
add a cast.

The atm_tcp.h uses types from linux/atm.h, but does not include it.
It should also use the standard __u## types from linux/types.h rather
than the uint##_t types since the former can be found with the kernel
already.
Same goes for linux/atm.h. The linux/socket.h include there also gets
dropped as atm.h does not actually use anything from socket.h.

Current module loader lookups ".data.percpu" ELF section to perform
per_cpu relocation. But DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() uses another
section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only handled in
vmlinux.lds, not by module loader.
To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader, or
using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group
".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu"
for modules.
Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.

more robust
match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.
There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.
The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().
The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.
We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.
Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

Prior to 2.6.26 fuse only supported single page write requests. In theory all
fuse filesystem should be able support bigger than 4k writes, as there's
nothing in the API to prevent it. Unfortunately there's a known case in
NTFS-3G where big writes cause filesystem corruption. There could also be
other filesystems, where the lack of testing with big write requests would
result in bugs.
To prevent such problems on a kernel upgrade, disable big writes by default,
but let filesystems set a flag to turn it on.

When mm destruction happens, we should pass mm_update_next_owner() the old mm.
But unfortunately new mm is passed in exec_mmap().
Thus, kernel panic is possible when a multi-threaded process uses exec().
Also, the owner member comment description is wrong. mm->owner does not
necessarily point to the thread group leader.

Wireless networking, particularly with MESH enabled, has
quite strong requirements for link-layer header space.
Based upon some numbers and descriptions from Johannes Berg
we use 96 (same as AX25) for plain wireless, and with
mesh enabled we use 128.
In the process, simplify the cpp conditional logic here by
ordering the cases by those needing the most space down
to those needing the least case.

Because it's not correct with a non-preemptable BKL and just causes
PREEMPT kernels to have longer latencies than non-PREEMPT ones (which is
obviously not the point of it at all).
Of course, that config option actually got removed as an option earlier,
so for now this basically disables it entirely, but if BKL preemption is
ever resurrected it will be a meaningful optimization. And in the
meantime, it at least documents the intent of the code, while not doing
the wrong thing.
