isr_ack is never initialized. So, until the first PIC reset, interrupts may fail to be injected. This can cause Windows XP to fail to boot, as reported in the fallout from the fix to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21962.

2010-12-31starfire: Fix dma_addr_t size test for MIPSBen Hutchings
Commit 56543af "starfire: use BUILD_BUG_ON for netdrv_addr_t" revealed that the preprocessor condition used to find the size of dma_addr_t yielded the wrong result for some architectures and configurations. This was kluged for 64-bit PowerPC in commit 3e502e6 by adding yet another case to the condition. However, 64-bit MIPS configurations are not detected reliably either. This should be fixed by using CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT, but that isn't yet defined everywhere it should be. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-12-30Revert "Staging: zram: work around oops due to startup ordering snafu"Nitin Gupta
This reverts commit 7e24cce38a99f373450db67bf576fe73e8168d66 because it was never appropriate for mainline. Do not check for init flag before starting I/O - zram module is unusable without this fix. The oops mentioned in the reverted commit message was actually a problem only with the zram version as present in project's own repository where we allocate struct zram_stats_cpu upon device initialization. OTOH, In mainline/staging version of zram, we allocate struct stats upfront, so this oops cannot happen in mainline version. Checking for init_done flag in zram_make_request() results in a *no-op* for any I/O operation since we simply always return success. This flag is actually set when the first write occurs on a zram disk which triggers its initialization.

2010-12-30memcg: fix wrong VM_BUG_ON() in try_charge()'s mm->owner checkKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
At __mem_cgroup_try_charge(), VM_BUG_ON(!mm->owner) is checked. But as commented in mem_cgroup_from_task(), mm->owner can be NULL in some racy case. This check of VM_BUG_ON() is bad. A possible story to hit this is at swapoff()->try_to_unuse(). It passes mm_struct to mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() while mm->owner is NULL. If we can't get proper mem_cgroup from swap_cgroup information, mm->owner is used as charge target and we see NULL.

2010-12-30sound: Prevent buffer overflow in OSS load_mixer_volumesDan Rosenberg
The load_mixer_volumes() function, which can be triggered by unprivileged users via the SOUND_MIXER_SETLEVELS ioctl, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow. Because the provided "name" argument isn't guaranteed to be NULL terminated at the expected 32 bytes, it's possible to overflow past the end of the last element in the mixer_vols array. Further exploitation can result in an arbitrary kernel write (via subsequent calls to load_mixer_volumes()) leading to privilege escalation, or arbitrary kernel reads via get_mixer_levels(). In addition, the strcmp() may leak bytes beyond the mixer_vols array.

This lead to non-selected, non-user-selectable options to be written out to .config. This is not only pointless, but also preventing the user to be prompted should any of those options eventually become visible (e.g. by de-selecting the *_AUTO options the "visible" attribute was added for. Furthermore it is quite logical for the "visible" attribute of a menu to control the visibility of all contained prompts, which is what the patch does.

When SPI wake up from OFF mode, CS is in the wrong state: force it to the inactive state. During the system life, I monitored the CS behavior using a oscilloscope. I also activated debug in omap2_mcspi, so I saw when driver disable the clocks and restore context when device is not used.Each time the CS was in the correct state. It was only when system was put suspend to ram with off-mode activated that on resume the CS was in wrong state( ie activated). Changelog: * Change from v1 to v2: - Rebase on linus/master (after 2.6.37-rc1) - Do some clean-up and fix indentation on both patches - Add more explanations for patch 2 * Change from v2 to v3: - Use directly resume function of spi_master instead of using function - from spi_device as Grant Likely pointed it out. - Force this transition explicitly for each CS used by a device. * Change from v3 to v4: - Patch clean-up according to Kevin Hilman and checkpatch. - Now force CS to be in inactive state only if it was inactive when it was suspended. * Change from v4 to v5: - Rebase on linus/master (after 2.6.37-rc3) - Collapse some lines as pointed by Grant Likely - Fix a spelling * Change from v5 to v6: - Rebase on linus/master (after 2.6.37-rc7) - Use CONFIG_SUSPEND instead of CONFIG_PM - Didn't use legacy PM methods anymore.

The multi-component patch(commit f0fba2ad1) moved the allocation of the register cache from the driver to the ASoC core. Most drivers where adjusted to this, but the wm8753 driver still uses its own register cache for its private functions, while functions from the ASoC core use the generic cache. Furthermore the generic cache uses zero-based numbering while the wm8753 cache uses one-based numbering. Thus we end up with two from each other incoherent caches, which leads to undefined behaviour and crashes.

2010-12-28ppp: allow disabling multilink protocol ID compressionstephen hemminger
Linux would not connect to other router running old version Cisco IOS (12.0). This is most likely a bug in that version of IOS, since it is fixed in later versions. As a workaround this patch allows a module parameter to be set to disable compressing the protocol ID. See: https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3979 RFC 1990 allows an implementation to formulate MP fragments as if protocol compression had been negotiated. This allows us to always send compressed protocol IDs. But some implementations don't accept MP fragments with compressed protocol IDs. This parameter allows us to interoperate with them. The default value of the configurable parameter is the same as the current behavior: protocol compression is enabled. If protocol compression is disabled we will not send compressed protocol IDs. This is based on an earlier patch by Bob Gilligan (using a sysctl). Module parameter is writable to allow for enabling even if ppp is already loaded for other uses.

2010-12-28ueagle-atm: fix PHY signal initialization raceDan Williams
A race exists when initializing ueagle-atm devices where the generic atm device may not yet be created before the driver attempts to initialize it's PHY signal state, which checks whether the atm device has been created or not. This often causes the sysfs 'carrier' attribute to be '1' even though no signal has actually been found. uea_probe usbatm_usb_probe driver->bind (uea_bind) uea_boot kthread_run(uea_kthread) uea_kthread usbatm_atm_init uea_start_reset atm_dev_register UPDATE_ATM_SIGNAL UPDATE_ATM_SIGNAL checks whether the ATM device has been created and if not, will not update the PHY signal state. Because of the race that does not always happen in time, and the PHY signal state remains ATM_PHY_SIG_FOUND even though no signal exists. To fix the race, just create the kthread during initialization, and only after initialization is complete, start the thread that reboots the device and initializes PHY state.

arm: export dma_set_coherent_mask While a regression was fixed with commit 710224fa2750cf (arm: fix "arm: fix pci_set_consistent_dma_mask for dmabounce devices"), a new one was introduced as dma_set_coherent_mask wasn't exported for modules. This patch takes care for this issue. Signed-off-by: Imre Kaloz <kaloz@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Hałasa <khc@pm.waw.pl> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2010-12-28RAMOOPS: Don't overflow over non-allocated regionsAhmed S. Darwish
The current code mis-calculates the ramoops header size, leading to an overflow over the next record at best, or over a non-allocated region at worst. Fix that calculation. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
