db888aed7e [PATCH] zd1211rw: Fix of signal strength and quality measurement
Caused by a documentation issue I mixed up fields of the zd_status
structure. This patch fixes it and improves also the average
computation, which is now using only measurements of packets sent
by the access point.

28a2a3f587 [PATCH] Fix 2.6.18-rc6 IDE breakage, add missing ident needed for current VIA boards
There are two changes here.  The first reverses the broken PCI_DEVICE
conversion back to the old format.  The second adds a missing PCI ID so
you can actually boot 2.6.18 on 2 month old VIA motherboards (right now
only 2.6.18-mm works).

CC'd to Jeff to check the PCI ident but its a) in several distro kernels
and b) in 2.6.18-mm [twice ??]

519854876c [PATCH] Fix dm9000 release_resource
dm9000_release_board calls release_resource with the platform resource
instead of the requested resource:

db->addr_res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
db->addr_req = request_mem_region(db->addr_res->start, i, pdev->name);

dm9000_release_board:

if (db->addr_res != NULL) {
release_resource(db->addr_res);
kfree(db->addr_req);

With this behavior the kernel will crash on the second removal. The
attached patch fix this problem.

62f1d0e6de [libata] sata_mv: errata check buglet fix
Fix a buglet; the errata check below this code is assuming the value in
the sstatus variable is what was pulled out of the SCR_STATUS register.
However, the status checks in the timeout loop clobber everything
but the first 4 bits of sstatus, so the errata checks are invalid.

This patch changes it to not clobber SStatus.

Patch from Ben Dooks

The IRQ_EINT0 through IRQ_EINT3 handling has changed
on the S3C2412 from the previous SoCs in the range,

The changes come about due to these IRQs being

be acked and masked in both.

e9f7bee1df [PATCH] NFS: large non-page-aligned direct I/O clobbers memory
The logic in nfs_direct_read_schedule and nfs_direct_write_schedule can
allow data->npages to be one larger than rpages.  This causes a page
pointer to be written beyond the end of the pagevec in nfs_read_data (or
nfs_write_data).

Fix this by making nfs_(read|write)_alloc() calculate the size of the
pagevec array, and initialise data->npages.

Also get rid of the redundant argument to nfs_commit_alloc().

 <c0102a97> syscall_call+0x7/0xb

Looking at the code, it looks like it's not handle HOLE correctly.  It ends
up returning -EIO.  Here is the patch to fix it.

If we really want to be paranoid, we can allow return values 0 (HOLE), 1
(we asked for one block) and return -EIO for more than 1 block.  But I
really don't see a reason for doing it - all we need is the block# here.
(doesn't matter how many blocks are mapped).

ext3_get_blocks_handle() returns number of blocks it mapped.  It returns 0
in case of HOLE.  ext3_getblk() should handle HOLE properly (currently its
dumping warning stack and returning -EIO).

c5780e976e [PATCH] Use the correct restart option for futex_lock_pi
The current implementation of futex_lock_pi returns -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK
in case that the lock operation has been interrupted by a signal.  This
results in a return of -EINTR to userspace in case there is an handler for
the signal.  This is wrong, because userspace expects that the lock
function does not return in any case of signal delivery.

This was not caught by my insufficient test case, but triggered a nasty
userspace problem in an high load application scenario.  Unfortunately also
glibc does not check for this invalid return value.

Using -ERSTARTNOINTR makes sure, that the interrupted syscall is restarted.
 The restart block related code can be safely removed, as the possible
timeout argument is an absolute time value.

3a45975681 [PATCH] IA64,sparc: local DoS with corrupted ELFs
This prevents cross-region mappings on IA64 and SPARC which could lead
to system crash.  They were correctly trapped for normal mmap() calls,
but not for the kernel internal calls generated by executable loading.

This code just moves the architecture-specific cross-region checks into
an arch-specific "arch_mmap_check()" macro, and defines that for the
architectures that needed it (ia64, sparc and sparc64).

Architectures that don't have any special requirements can just ignore
the new cross-region check, since the mmap() code will just notice on
its own when the macro isn't defined.
