8079ffa0e1 IB/umem: Avoid sign problems when demoting npages to integer
On a 64-bit architecture, if ib_umem_get() is called with a size value
that is so big that npages is negative when cast to int, then the
length of the page list passed to get_user_pages(), namely

	min_t(int, npages, PAGE_SIZE / sizeof (struct page *))

will be negative, and get_user_pages() will immediately return 0 (at
least since 900cf086, "Be more robust about bad arguments in
get_user_pages()").  This leads to an infinite loop in ib_umem_get(),
since the code boils down to:

	while (npages) {
		ret = get_user_pages(...);
		npages -= ret;
	}

Fix this by taking the minimum as unsigned longs, so that the value of
npages is never truncated.

The impact of this bug isn't too severe, since the value of npages is
checked against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, so a process would need to have an
astronomical limit or have CAP_IPC_LOCK to be able to trigger this,
and such a process could already cause lots of mischief.  But it does
let buggy userspace code cause a kernel lock-up; for example I hit
this with code that passes a negative value into a memory registartion
function where it is promoted to a huge u64 value.

aab2545fdd uml: activate_mm: remove the dead PF_BORROWED_MM check
use_mm() was changed to use switch_mm() instead of activate_mm(), since
then nobody calls (and nobody should call) activate_mm() with
PF_BORROWED_MM bit set.

As Jeff Dike pointed out, we can also remove the "old != new" check, it is
always true.

eb4e545d4a ipwireless: Fix blocked sending
Packet sending is driven by two flags, tx_ready and tx_queued.
It was possible, that there were queued data for sending and
hardware was flagged as blocked but in fact it was not.

The tx_queued was indicator but should be really a counter else
first fragmented packet resets tx_queued flag, but there may be
pending packets which do not get sent.

New semantics:
tx_ready - set, if hw is ready to send packet, no packet is being
           transferred right now
           set the flag right at the place where data are copied
           into hw memory and not earlier without checking if it
           was succesful
tx_queued - count of enqueued packets, including fragments

aed5417593 proc: calculate the correct /proc/<pid> link count
This patch:

  commit e9720acd72
  Author: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>
  Date:   Fri Mar 7 11:08:40 2008 -0800

    [NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3)

introduced a /proc/self/net directory without bumping the corresponding
link count for /proc/self.

This patch replaces the static link count initializations with a call that
counts the number of directory entries in the given pid_entry table
whenever it is instantiated, and thus relieves the burden of manually
keeping the two in sync.

9bb91784de ext3: fix online resize bug
There is a bug when we are trying to verify that the reserve inode's
double indirect blocks point back to the primary gdt blocks.  The fix is
obvious, we need to mod the gdb count by the addr's per block.  You can
verify this with the following test case

dd if=/dev/zero of=disk1 seek=1024 count=1 bs=100M
losetup /dev/loop1 disk1
pvcreate /dev/loop1
vgcreate loopvg1 /dev/loop1
lvcreate -l 100%VG loopvg1 -n looplv1
mkfs.ext3 -J size=64 -b 1024 /dev/loopvg1/looplv1
mount /dev/loopvg1/looplv1 /mnt/loop
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk2 seek=1024 count=1 bs=50M
losetup /dev/loop2 disk2
pvcreate /dev/loop2
vgextend loopvg1 /dev/loop2
lvextend -l 100%VG /dev/loopvg1/looplv1
resize2fs /dev/loopvg1/looplv1

without this patch the resize2fs fails, with it the resize2fs succeeds.

0842b245a8 doc: document the kernel-doc conventions for kernel hackers
Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented
to kernel hackers.

Since I figure that there will be more people reading this
kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the
rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are
documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc
documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added
here:

  How to format kernel-doc comments

the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file.

This first section is intended to introduce, motivate and provide basic
usage of the kernel-doc mechanism for kernel hackers developing other
portions of the kernel.

9c81c5c95c atmel_serial: filter out FP during baud rate detection
I made a change to u-boot that used the FP (Fractional Part) field of BRGR
to achieve more accurate baud rate generation.  Unfortunately, the
atmel_serial driver looks at the whole BRGR register when trying to detect
the baud rate that the port is currently running at, so setting FP to a
nonzero value breaks the baud rate detection.

I'll sit on the u-boot patch for a while longer, but this is clearly a
bug in the atmel_serial driver which should be fixed.

dfcceb26f8 ipc: only output msgmni value at boot time
When posting:
[PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem
(see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/11/171), I have added a KERN_INFO message
that is output each time msgmni is recomputed.

In http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/575 Tony Luck complained that this
message references an ipc namespace address that is useless.

I first thought of using an audit_log instead of a printk, as suggested by
Serge Hallyn.  But unfortunately, we do not have any other information
than the namespace address to provide here too.  So I chose to move the
message and output it only at boot time, removing the reference to the
namespace.

aae8679b0e pagemap: fix bug in add_to_pagemap, require aligned-length reads of /proc/pid/pagemap
Fix a bug in add_to_pagemap.  Previously, since pm->out was a char *,
put_user was only copying 1 byte of every PFN, resulting in the top 7
bytes of each PFN not being copied.  By requiring that reads be a multiple
of 8 bytes, I can make pm->out and pm->end u64*s instead of char*s, which
makes put_user work properly, and also simplifies the logic in

d1ee2971f5 devscgroup: make white list more compact in some cases
Consider you added a 'c foo:bar r' permission to some cgroup and then (a
bit later) 'c'foo:bar w' for it.  After this you'll see the

c foo:bar r
c foo:bar w

lines in a devices.list file.

Another example - consider you added 10 'c foo:bar r' permissions to some
cgroup (e.g.  by mistake).  After this you'll see 10 c foo:bar r lines in
a list file.

This is weird.  This situation also has one more annoying consequence.
Having many items in a white list makes permissions checking slower, sine
it has to walk a longer list.

The proposal is to merge permissions for items, that correspond to the
same device.

7db9cfd380 devscgroup: check for device permissions at mount time
Currently even if a task sits in an all-denied cgroup it can still mount
any block device in any mode it wants.

Put a proper check in do_open for block device to prevent this.

cc9cb219aa devscgroup: relax task to dev_cgroup conversion
Two functions, that need to get a device_cgroup from a task (they are
devcgroup_inode_permission and devcgroup_inode_mknod) make it in a strange
way:

They get a css_set from task, then a subsys_state from css_set, then a
cgroup from the state and then a subsys_state again from the cgroup.
Besides, the devices_subsys_id is read from memory, whilst there's a
enum-ed constant for it.

Optimize this part a bit:
1. Get the subsys_stats form the task and be done - no 2 extra
   dereferences,
2. Use the device_subsys_id constant, not the value from memory
   (i.e. one less dereference).

Found while preparing 2.6.26 OpenVZ port.

The only difference between memory_read_from_buffer() and
simple_read_from_buffer() is which address space the function copies to.

simple_read_from_buffer copies to user space memory.
memory_read_from_buffer copies to normal memory.

40fb16a360 uml: deal with inaccessible address space start
This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space,
as well as the top.  This is for systems which put a lower limit on mmap
addresses.  It works by manually scanning pages from zero onwards until a
valid page is found.

Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not
sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the
address space.  The size is the difference between the top address and
bottom address.

[jdike@addtoit.com: changed the name to reflect that this function is
supposed to return the top of the process address space, not its size and
changed the return value to reflect that.  Also some minor formatting
changes]

6cfd53fc03 nommu: fix kobjsize() for SLOB and SLUB
kobjsize() has been abusing page->index as a method for sorting out
compound order, which blows up both for page cache pages, and SLOB's
reuse of the index in struct slob_page.

Presently we are not able to accurately size arbitrary pointers that
don't come from kmalloc(), so the best we can do is sort out the
compound order from the head page if it's a compound page, or default
to 0-order if it's impossible to ksize() the object.

Obviously this leaves quite a bit to be desired in terms of object
sizing accuracy, but the behaviour is unchanged over the existing
implementation, while fixing the page->index oopses originally reported
here:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=121127773325245&w=2

Accuracy could also be improved by having SLUB and SLOB both set PG_slab
on ksizeable pages, rather than just handling the __GFP_COMP cases
irregardless of the PG_slab setting, as made possibly with Pekka's
patches:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139439900534&w=2
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000537&w=2
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121139440000540&w=2

This is primarily a bugfix for nommu systems for 2.6.26, with the aim
being to gradually kill off kobjsize() and its particular brand of
object abuse entirely.
