This changes the ioctl() return value of FW_CDEV_IOC_SEND_REQUEST and of

return
sizeof(struct fw_cdev_send_request *) + data_length

raw1394's respective interface which uses write() instead of ioctl().
However, the first summand, as size of a kernel pointer, is entirely
meaningless to clients and the second summand is already known to
clients. And the result does not resemble raw1394's write() return
code anyway.
So simplify it to a constant non-negative value, i.e. 0. The only
dangers here would be that future client implementations check for error
by ret != 0 instead of ret < 0 when running on top of an old kernel; or
that current clients interpret ret = 0 or more as failure. But both are
hypothetical cases which don't justify to return irritating values.

firewire: cdev: secure add_descriptor ioctl
The access permissions and ownership or ACL of /dev/fw* character device
files will typically be set based on the device type of the respective
nodes, as obtained by firewire-core from descriptors in the device's
configuration ROM. An example policy is to deny write permission by
default but grant write permission to files of AV/C video and audio
devices and IIDC video devices.
The FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR ioctl could be used to partly subvert
such a policy: Find a device file with relaxed permissions, use the
ioctl to add a descriptor with AV/C marker to the local node's ROM, thus
gain access to the local node's character device file. (This is only
possible if there are udev scripts installed which actively relax
permissions for known device types and if there is a device of such a
type connected.)
Accessibility of the local node's device file is relevant to host
security if the host contains two or more IEEE 1394 link layer
controllers which are plugged into a single bus.
Therefore change the ABI to deny FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR if the file
belongs to a remote node. (This change has no impact on known
implementers of the ABI: None of them uses the ioctl yet.)
Also clarify the documentation: The ioctl affects all local nodes, not
just one local node.

firewire: prevent creation of multiple IR DMA contexts for the same channel
OHCI-1394 1.1 clause 10.4.3 says: "If more than one IR DMA context
specifies receives for packets from the same isochronous channel, the
context destination for that channel's packets is undefined."
Any userspace client and in the future also kernelspace clients can
allocate IR DMA contexts for any channel. We don't want them to
interfere with each other, hence it is preferable to return -EBUSY if
allocation of a second context for a channel is attempted.
Notes:
- This limitation is OHCI-1394 specific, therefore its proper place of
implementation is down in the low-level driver.
- Since the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI simply maps one userspace iso
client context to one hardware iso context, this OHCI-1394
limitation alas requires userspace to implement its own multiplexing
of iso reception from the same channel and card to multiple clients
when needed.
- The limitation is independent of channel allocation at the IRM; the
latter is really only important for the initiation of iso
transmission but not of iso reception.
- We don't need to do the same for IT DMA because OHCI-1394 does not
have any ties between IT contexts and channels. Only the voluntary
channel allocation protocol via the IRM, globally to the FireWire
bus, can ensure proper isochronous transmit behaviour anyway.

Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host
This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.
The problem is this:
- task A is ptracing task B
- task B stops on a trace event
- task A is woken up and preempts task B
- task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
- this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
- task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
- ...
Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.
This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.

eCryptfs: Allocate a variable number of pages for file headers
When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a
single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page().
However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or
ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is
stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front
field.
ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using
num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to
the lower filesystem for the file header. Unfortunately, at least 8K
was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single,
zeroed page being smaller than 8K. This resulted in random areas of
kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets
in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K.
This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with
num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages
along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents().
Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with
me to find the problem. 2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this
vulnerability. Corresponds to CVE-2009-0787
radeonfb: Whack the PCI PM register until it sticks
This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core
pci_set_power_state(). The chip seems to need the state to be written
over and over again until it sticks, so we do that.
Note that the code is a bit blunt, without timeout, etc... but that's
pretty much because I put back in there the code exactly as it used to
be before the regression. I still add a call to pci_set_power_state()
at the end so that ACPI gets called appropriately on x86.

aio: lookup_ioctx can return the wrong value when looking up a bogus context
The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a
bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list
(harness/cases/3.p).
Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process
exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio
(since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0).
Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not
return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was

eventfd: remove fput() call from possible IRQ context
Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context. Myself, like Eric,
wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was
able to, with the attached test program. Independently from this, the bug is
conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it. This patch adds an
optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd.
Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative
here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not
sure is worth it.

Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()
Nick Piggin noticed this (very unlikely) race between setting a page
dirty and creating the buffers for it - we need to hold the mapping
private_lock until we've set the page dirty bit in order to make sure
that create_empty_buffers() might not build up a set of buffers without
the dirty bits set when the page is dirty.
I doubt anybody has ever hit this race (and it didn't solve the issue
Nick was looking at), but as Nick says: "Still, it does appear to solve
a real race, which we should close."

When you compile kernel on Sparc64 with heap memory checking and type

Most code fills struct resource with zeros, so I assume that it is
responsibility of the caller of request_resource to initialized it,
not the responsibility of request_resource functuion.
After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields
added to request_resource to avoid crashes like this.

smsc911x: reset last known duplex and carrier on open
smsc911x_phy_adjust_link is called periodically by the phy layer (as
it's run in polling mode), and it only updates the hardware when it sees
a change in duplex or carrier. This patch clears the last known values
every time the interface is brought up, instead of only when the module
is loaded.
Without this patch the adjust_link function never updates the hardware
after an ifconfig down; ifconfig up. On a full duplex link this causes
the tx error counter to increment, even though packets are correctly
transmitted, as the default MAC_CR register setting is for half duplex.
The tx errors are "no carrier" errors, which should be ignored in
full-duplex mode. When MAC_CR is set to "full duplex" mode they are
correctly ignored by the hardware.
Note that even with this patch the tx error counter can increment if
packets are transmitted between "ifconfig up" and the first phy poll
interval. An improved solution would use the phy interrupt with phylib,
but I haven't managed to make this work 100% robustly yet.

tulip: fix crash on iface up with shirq debug
Tulip is currently doing request_irq before it has done its
initialization. This is usually not a problem because it hasn't
enable interrupts yet, but with DEBUG_SHIRQ on, we call the irq handler
when registering the interrupt as a sanity check.
This can result in a NULL ptr dereference, so call tulip_init_ring
before request_irq, and add a free_ring function to do the freeing
now shared with tulip_close.
Tested with a shell loop running ifup, ifdown in a loop a few hundred
times with DEBUG_SHIRQ on.

virtio_net: Make virtio_net support carrier detection
Impact: Make NetworkManager work with virtio_net
For now the semantics are simple: There is always carrier.
This allows a seamless experience with e.g., qemu/kvm
where NetworkManager just configures and sets up
everything automagically.
If/when a generally agreed-upon way to control
carrier on/off in the emulator/hypervisor level
emerges, it will be trivial to extend the driver
to support that too, but for now even this 2-liner
makes user experience that much better.

If MSI-X was not available, the wrong MSI-X handler would be used in
