    V4L/DVB (9300): pvrusb2: Fix deadlock problem
    
    commit c82732a42896364296599b0f73f01c5e3fd781ae upstream
    
    Fix deadlock problem in 2.6.27 caused by new USB core behavior in
    response to a USB device reset request.  With older kernels, the USB
    device reset was "in line"; the reset simply took place and the driver
    retained its association with the hardware.  However now this reset
    triggers a disconnect, and worse still the disconnect callback happens
    in the context of the caller who asked for the device reset.  This
    results in an attempt by the pvrusb2 driver to recursively take a
    mutex it already has, which deadlocks the driver's worker thread.
    (Even if the disconnect callback were to happen on a different thread
    we'd still have problems however - because while the driver should
    survive and correctly disconnect / reconnect, it will then trigger
    another device reset during the repeated initialization, which will
    then cause another disconect, etc, forever.)  The fix here is simply
    to not attempt the device reset (it was of marginal value anyway).

    PCI hotplug: cpqphp: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference
    
    commit d2174c3c07adad88dd9ba37a731e0b00b746822a upstream
    
    The following patch fixes the regression in 2.6.27 that causes kernel
    NULL pointer dereference at cpqphp driver probe time.  This patch should
    be backported to the .27 stable series.
    
    Seems to have been introduced by
    f46753c5e354b857b20ab8e0fe7b2579831dc369.
    
    The root cause of this problem seems that cpqphp driver calls
    pci_hp_register() wrongly. In current implementation, cpqphp driver
    passes 'ctrl->pci_dev->subordinate' as a second parameter for
    pci_hp_register(). But because hotplug slots and it's hotplug controller
    (exists as a pci funcion) are on the same bus, it should be
    'ctrl->pci_dev->bus' instead.

    proc: fix vma display mismatch between /proc/pid/{maps,smaps}
    
    [ backport of 7c88db0cb589df980acfb2f73c3595a0653004ec to 2.7.27.3 by Joe
    Korty <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]
    
    proc: fix vma display mismatch between /proc/pid/{maps,smaps}
    
    Commit 4752c369789250eafcd7813e11c8fb689235b0d2 aka
    "maps4: simplify interdependence of maps and smaps" broke /proc/pid/smaps,
    causing it to display some vmas twice and other vmas not at all.  For 
example:
    
        grep .- /proc/1/smaps >/tmp/smaps; diff /proc/1/maps /tmp/smaps
    
        1  25d24

        4  > ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0  [vsyscall]
    
    The bug has something to do with setting m->version before all the
    seq_printf's have been performed.  show_map was doing this correctly,
    but show_smap was doing this in the middle of its seq_printf sequence.
    This patch arranges things so that the setting of m->version in show_smap
    is also done at the end of its seq_printf sequence.
    
    Testing: in addition to the above grep test, for each process I summed
    up the 'Rss' fields of /proc/pid/smaps and compared that to the 'VmRSS'
    field of /proc/pid/status.  All matched except for Xorg (which has a
    /dev/mem mapping which Rss accounts for but VmRSS does not).  This result
    gives us some confidence that neither /proc/pid/maps nor /proc/pid/smaps
    are any longer skipping or double-counting vmas.

    ACPI suspend: Always use the 32-bit waking vector
    
    commit a6629105dd03d370fcb31e97bddf223fa4bb651e upstream.
    
    According to the ACPI specification 2.0c and later, the 64-bit waking vector
    should be cleared and the 32-bit waking vector should be used, unless we 
want
    the wake-up code to be called by the BIOS in Protected Mode.  Moreover, some
    systems (for example HP dv5-1004nr) are known to fail to resume if the 
64-bit
    waking vector is used.  Therefore, modify the code to clear the 64-bit 
waking
    vector, for FACS version 1 or greater, and set the 32-bit one before 
suspend.

    ACPI Suspend: Enable ACPI during resume if SCI_EN is not set
    
    commit d0c71fe7ebc180f1b7bc7da1d39a07fc19eec768 upstream.
    
    On some machines, like for example MSI Wind U100, the BIOS doesn't
    enable ACPI before returning control to the OS, which sometimes
    causes resume to fail.  This is against the ACPI specification,
    which clearly states that "When the platform is waking from an S1, S2
    or S3 state, OSPM assumes the hardware is already in the ACPI mode
    and will not issue an ACPI_ENABLE", but it won't hurt to check the
    SCI_EN bit and enable ACPI during resume from S3 if this bit is not
    set.
    
    Fortunately, we already have acpi_enable() for that, so use it in the
    resume code path, before executing _BFS, in analogy with the
    resume-from-hibernation code path.
    
    NOTE: We aren't supposed to set SCI_EN directly, because it's owned
    by the hardware.

        complains when manipulating procfs. This fixes it by moving the
        call to the notifier to outside of the locked section.

    anon_vma_prepare: properly lock even newly allocated entries
    
    commit d9d332e0874f46b91d8ac4604b68ee42b8a7a2c6 upstream
    
    The anon_vma code is very subtle, and we end up doing optimistic lookups
    of anon_vmas under RCU in page_lock_anon_vma() with no locking.  Other
    CPU's can also see the newly allocated entry immediately after we've
    exposed it by setting "vma->anon_vma" to the new value.
    
    We protect against the anon_vma being destroyed by having the SLAB
    marked as SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, so the RCU lookup can depend on the
    allocation not being destroyed - but it might still be free'd and
    re-allocated here to a new vma.
    
    As a result, we should not do the anon_vma list ops on a newly allocated
    vma without proper locking.

    netfilter: restore lost #ifdef guarding defrag exception
    
    Upstream commit 38f7ac3eb:
    
    Nir Tzachar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> reported a warning when sending
    fragments over loopback with NAT:
    
    [ 6658.338121] WARNING: at net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_standalone.c:89 
nf_nat_fn+0x33/0x155()
    
    The reason is that defragmentation is skipped for already tracked 
connections.
    This is wrong in combination with NAT and ip_conntrack actually had some 
ifdefs
    to avoid this behaviour when NAT is compiled in.
    
    The entire "optimization" may seem a bit silly, for now simply restoring the
    lost #ifdef is the easiest solution until we can come up with something 
better.

    Note: some people thinks this represents a security bug, since it
    might make the system go away while it is printing a large number of
    console messages, especially if a serial console is involved.  Hence,
    it has been assigned CVE-2008-3528, but it requires that the attacker
    either has physical access to your machine to insert a USB disk with a
    corrupted filesystem image (at which point why not just hit the power
    button), or is otherwise able to convince the system administrator to
    mount an arbitrary filesystem image (at which point why not just
    include a setuid shell or world-writable hard disk device file or some
    such).  Me, I think they're just being silly. --tytso

    CIFS: fix saving of resume key before CIFSFindNext
    
    commit a364bc0b37f14ffd66c1f982af42990a9d77fa43 upstream
    
    We recently fixed the cifs readdir code so that it saves the resume key
    before calling CIFSFindNext. Unfortunately, this assumes that we have
    just done a CIFSFindFirst (or FindNext) and have resume info to save.
    This isn't necessarily the case. Fix the code to save resume info if we
    had to reinitiate the search, and after a FindNext.
    
    This fixes connectathon basic test6 against NetApp filers.

    dm snapshot: fix primary_pe race
    
    commit 7c5f78b9d7f21937e46c26db82976df4b459c95c upstream
    
    Fix a race condition with primary_pe ref_count handling.
    
    put_pending_exception runs under dm_snapshot->lock, it does 
atomic_dec_and_test
    on primary_pe->ref_count, and later does atomic_read primary_pe->ref_count.
    
    __origin_write does atomic_dec_and_test on primary_pe->ref_count without 
holding
    dm_snapshot->lock.
    
    This opens the following race condition:
    Assume two CPUs, CPU1 is executing put_pending_exception (and holding
    dm_snapshot->lock). CPU2 is executing __origin_write in parallel.
    primary_pe->ref_count == 2.
    
    CPU1:
    if (primary_pe && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count))
        origin_bios = bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios);
    .. decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 1. Doesn't load origin_bios
    
    CPU2:
    if (first && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count)) {
        flush_bios(bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios));
        free_pending_exception(primary_pe);
        /* If we got here, pe_queue is necessarily empty. */
        return r;
    }
    .. decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 0, submits pending bios, frees
    primary_pe.
    
    CPU1:
    if (!primary_pe || primary_pe != pe)
        free_pending_exception(pe);
    .. this has no effect.
    if (primary_pe && !atomic_read(&primary_pe->ref_count))
        free_pending_exception(primary_pe);
    .. sees ref_count == 0 (written by CPU 2), does double free !!
    
    This bug can happen only if someone is simultaneously writing to both the
    origin and the snapshot.
    
    If someone is writing only to the origin, __origin_write will submit kcopyd
    request after it decrements primary_pe->ref_count (so it can't happen that 
the
    finished copy races with primary_pe->ref_count decrementation).
    
    If someone is writing only to the snapshot, __origin_write isn't invoked at 
all
    and the race can't happen.
    
    The race happens when someone writes to the snapshot --- this creates
    pending_exception with primary_pe == NULL and starts copying. Then, someone
    writes to the same chunk in the snapshot, and __origin_write races with
    termination of already submitted request in pending_complete (that calls
    put_pending_exception).
    
    This race may be reason for bugs:
      http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11636
      https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465825
    
    The patch fixes the code to make sure that:
    1. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns false, the process
    must no longer dereference primary_pe (because someone else may free it 
under
    us).
    2. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns true, the process
    is responsible for freeing primary_pe.

    dm kcopyd: avoid queue shuffle
    
    commit b673c3a8192e28f13e2050a4b82c1986be92cc15 upstream
    
    Write throughput to LVM snapshot origin volume is an order
    of magnitude slower than those to LV without snapshots or
    snapshot target volumes, especially in the case of sequential
    writes with O_SYNC on.
    
    The following patch originally written by Kevin Jamieson and
    Jan Blunck and slightly modified for the current RCs by myself
    tries to improve the performance by modifying the behaviour
    of kcopyd, so that it pushes back an I/O job to the head of
    the job queue instead of the tail as process_jobs() currently
    does when it has to wait for free pages. This way, write
    requests aren't shuffled to cause extra seeks.
    
    I tested the patch against 2.6.27-rc5 and got the following results.
    The test is a dd command writing to snapshot origin followed by fsync
    to the file just created/updated.  A couple of filesystem benchmarks
    gave me similar results in case of sequential writes, while random
    writes didn't suffer much.
    
    dd if=/dev/zero of=<somewhere on snapshot origin> bs=4096 count=...
       [conv=notrunc when updating]
    
    1) linux 2.6.27-rc5 without the patch, write to snapshot origin,
    average throughput (MB/s)
                         10M     100M    1000M
    create,dd         511.46   610.72    11.81
    create,dd+fsync     7.10     6.77     8.13
    update,dd         431.63   917.41    12.75
    update,dd+fsync     7.79     7.43     8.12
    
    compared with write throughput to LV without any snapshots,
    all dd+fsync and 1000 MiB writes perform very poorly.
    
                         10M     100M    1000M
    create,dd         555.03   608.98   123.29
    create,dd+fsync   114.27    72.78    76.65
    update,dd         152.34  1267.27   124.04
    update,dd+fsync   130.56    77.81    77.84
    
    2) linux 2.6.27-rc5 with the patch, write to snapshot origin,
    average throughput (MB/s)
    
                         10M     100M    1000M
    create,dd         537.06   589.44    46.21
    create,dd+fsync    31.63    29.19    29.23
    update,dd         487.59   897.65    37.76
    update,dd+fsync    34.12    30.07    26.85
    
    Although still not on par with plain LV performance -
    cannot be avoided because it's copy on write anyway -
    this simple patch successfully improves throughtput
    of dd+fsync while not affecting the rest.

    USB: Speedtouch: add pre_reset and post_reset routines
    
    commit 8fc7aeab3851ed8c3ecf28901ca2c6f0400955c7 upstream
    
    This patch (as1150) fixes a problem in the speedtch driver.  When it
    resets the modem during probe it will be unbound from the other
    interfaces it has claimed, because it doesn't define a pre_reset and a
    post_reset method.
    
    The patch defines "do-nothing" methods.  This fixes Bugzilla #11767.

    USB: don't rebind drivers after failed resume or reset
    
    commit 6c6409459a18a825ce12ecb003d5686af61f7a2f upstream
    
    This patch (as1152) may help prevent some problems associated with the
    new policy of unbinding drivers that don't support suspend/resume or
    pre_reset/post_reset.  If for any reason the resume or reset fails, and
    the device is logically disconnected, there's no point in trying to
    rebind the driver.  So the patch checks for success before carrying
    out the unbind/rebind.
    
    There was a report from one user that this fixed a problem he was
    experiencing, but the details never became fully clear.  In any case,
    adding these tests can't hurt.

    x86 ACPI: fix breakage of resume on 64-bit UP systems with SMP kernel
    
    commit 3038edabf48f01421c621cb77a712b446d3a5d67 upstream
    
    x86 ACPI: Fix breakage of resume on 64-bit UP systems with SMP kernel
    
    We are now using per CPU GDT tables in head_64.S and the original
    early_gdt_descr.address is invalidated after boot by
    setup_per_cpu_areas().  This breaks resume from suspend to RAM on
    x86_64 UP systems using SMP kernels, because this part of head_64.S
    is also executed during the resume and the invalid GDT address
    causes the system to crash.  It doesn't break on 'true' SMP systems,
    because early_gdt_descr.address is modified every time
    native_cpu_up() runs.  However, during resume it should point to the
    GDT of the boot CPU rather than to another CPU's GDT.
    
    For this reason, during suspend to RAM always make
    early_gdt_descr.address point to the boot CPU's GDT.
    
    This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11568, which
    is a regression from 2.6.26.

    gpiolib: fix oops in gpio_get_value_cansleep()
    
    commit 978ccaa8ea5d8c7bf6b676209f2fc126eae6355b upstream
    
    We can get the following oops from gpio_get_value_cansleep() when a GPIO
    controller doesn't provide a get() callback:
    
     Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch
     Faulting instruction address: 0x00000000
     Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
     [...]
     NIP [00000000] 0x0
     LR [c0182fb0] gpio_get_value_cansleep+0x40/0x50
     Call Trace:

     [c7b79f40] [c0013a14] ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x38
    
    It's OK to request the value of *any* GPIO; most GPIOs are bidirectional,
    so configuring them as outputs just enables an output driver and doesn't
    disable the input logic.
    
    So the problem is that gpio_get_value_cansleep() isn't making the same
    sanity check that gpio_get_value() does: making sure this GPIO isn't one
    of the atypical "no input logic" cases.
