hdparm explicitely marks HDIO_[UNREGISTER,SCAN]_HWIF ioctls as DANGEROUS
and given the number of bugs we can assume that there are no real users:
* DMA has no chance of working because DMA resources are released by
ide_unregister() and they are never allocated again.
* Since ide_init_hwif_ports() is used for ->io_ports[] setup the ioctls
don't work for almost all hosts with "non-standard" (== non ISA-like)
layout of IDE taskfile registers (there is a lot of such host drivers).
* ide_port_init_devices() is not called when probing IDE devices so:
- drive->autotune is never set and IDE host/devices are not programmed
for the correct PIO/DMA transfer modes (=> possible data corruption)
- host specific I/O 32-bit and IRQ unmasking settings are not applied
(=> possible data corruption)
- host specific ->port_init_devs method is not called (=> no luck with
ht6560b, qd65xx and opti621 host drivers)
* ->rw_disk method is not preserved (=> no HPT3xxN chipsets support).
* ->serialized flag is not preserved (=> possible data corruption when
using icside, aec62xx (ATP850UF chipset), cmd640, cs5530, hpt366
(HPT3xxN chipsets), rz1000, sc1200, dtc2278 and ht6560b host drivers).
* ->ack_intr method is not preserved (=> needed by ide-cris, buddha,
gayle and macide host drivers).
* ->sata_scr[] and sata_misc[] is cleared by ide_unregister() and it
isn't initialized again (SiI3112 support needs them).
* To issue an ioctl() there need to be at least one IDE device present
in the system.
* ->cable_detect method is not preserved + it is not called when probing
IDE devices so cable detection is broken (however since DMA support is
also broken it doesn't really matter ;-).
* Some objects which may have already been freed in ide_unregister()
are restored by ide_hwif_restore() (i.e. ->hwgroup).
* ide_register_hw() may unregister unrelated IDE ports if free ide_hwifs[]
slot cannot be found.
* When IDE host drivers are modular unregistered port may be re-used by
different host driver that owned it first causing subtle bugs.
Since we now have a proper warm-plug support remove these ioctls,
then remove no longer needed:
- ide_register_hw() and ide_hwif_restore() functions
- 'init_default' and 'restore' arguments of ide_unregister()
- zeroeing of hwif->{dma,extra}_* fields in ide_unregister()
As an added bonus IDE core code size shrinks by ~3kB (x86-32).
v2:
* fix ide_unregister() arguments in cleanup_module() (Andrew Morton).
v3:
* fix ide_unregister() arguments in palm_bk3710.c.

* Remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD hack from init_hwif_default()
("hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe" kernel parameters should be used
instead if somebody wishes to use the old "hd" driver).
* Make CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_ONLY config option available also when
IDE subsystem is used and update help entry.
* Remove no longer needed CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE config option.
v2:
* Update documentation to suggest "hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe"
instead of obsoleted "ide0=noprobe".
ide-generic: add ide_generic class and attribute for adding new interfaces
* Add ide_generic_sysfs_init() helper registering 'ide_generic' class
(together with ide_generic_class_release() ->class_release method)
and use it in ide_generic_init().
* Add "add" class attribute to 'ide_generic' class for adding new interfaces
(it is intended to be a replacement for obsoleted "idex=base[,ctl[,irq]]"
kernel parameters).
->busproc method is used by HDIO_SET_BUSSTATE ioctl but it has no chance
of working as intended (in 2.4.x days) because to issue an ioctl there
is a device node needed and:
- for BUSSTATE_TRISTATE+OFF it is too late (devices are already gone)
- for BUSSTATE_TRISTATE+ON it is too early (devices are not registered yet)
Just remove ->busproc method for now (it was only implemented by hpt366,
siimage and tc86c001 host drivers).

Fix memory corruption and crash on 32-bit x86 systems.
If a !PAE x86 kernel is booted on a 32-bit system with more than 4GB of
RAM, then we call memory_present() with a start/end that goes outside
the scope of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.
That causes this loop to happily walk over the limit of the sparse
memory section map:
for (pfn = start; pfn < end; pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION) {
unsigned long section = pfn_to_section_nr(pfn);
struct mem_section *ms;
ms = __nr_to_section(section);
if (!ms->section_mem_map)
ms->section_mem_map = sparse_encode_early_nid(nid) |
SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT;
'ms' will be out of bounds and we'll corrupt a small amount of memory by
encoding the node ID and writing SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (==0x1) over it.
The corruption might happen when encoding a non-zero node ID, or due to
the SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT which is 0x1:
mmzone.h:#define SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (1UL<<0)
The fix is to sanity check anything the architecture passes to
sparsemem.
This bug seems to be rather old (as old as sparsemem support itself),
but the exact incarnation depended on random details like configs, which
made this bug more prominent in v2.6.25-to-be.
An additional enhancement might be to print a warning about ignored or
trimmed memory ranges.

Fix locking bug in "acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk()"
When I cleaned up printk() and split up the printk locking logic in
commit 266c2e0abeca649fa6667a1a427ad1da507c6375 ("Make printk() console
semaphore accesses sensible") I had incorrectly moved the call to
have_callable_console() outside of the console semaphore.
That was buggy. The console semaphore protects the console_drivers list
that is used by have_callable_console().
Thanks go to Bongani Hlope who saw this as a hang on shutdown and reboot
and bisected the bug to the right commit, and tested this patch. See

netconsole: only set CON_PRINTBUFFER if the user specifies a netconsole
Since 0bcc1816188e570bde1d56a208996660f2633ae0 (netconsole: Support
dynamic reconfiguration using configfs), the netconsole is always
registered, regardless of whether the user actually specified a
netconsole configuration on the command line.
However because netconsole has CON_PRINTBUFFER set, when it is
registered it causes the printk buffer to be replayed to all consoles.
When there is no netconsole configured this is a) pointless, and b)
somewhat annoying for the user of the existing console.
So instead we should only set CON_PRINTBUFFER if there is a netconsole
configuration found on the command line. This retains the existing
behaviour if a netconsole is setup by the user, and avoids spamming
other consoles when we're only registering for the dynamic
netconsole case.

The page offset is miscalculated, leading to corruption of the fragment
lists and subsequently to memory corruption and panics.
[ Side note: the bug is a fairly direct result of the naming. Nick was
likely misled by the use of "offs", since we tend to use the notion of
"offset" not as an absolute position, but as an offset _within_ a page
or allocation.
Alternatively, a "pgoff_t" is a page index, but not a byte offset -
our VM naming can be a bit confusing.
So in this case, a VM person would likely have called this a "pos",
not an "offs", or perhaps talked about byte offsets rather than page
offsets (since it's counted in bytes, not pages). - Linus ]
TC_H_MAJ(parentid) for root classes is the same as for ingress, and if
ingress qdisc is created qdisc_lookup() returns its pointer (without

- it should trigger with every leaf class deleted if it's qdisc isn't
empty.)
After this fix qdisc_lookup() is omitted both for ingress and root
parents, but looking for root is only wasting a little time here...

locks: fix possible infinite loop in fcntl(F_SETLKW) over nfs
Miklos Szeredi found the bug:
"Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls
nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns
NLM_LCK_DENIED.
"On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()),
which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever."
So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing
permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file,
could result in an infinite loop.
And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I:
That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced
a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it
returned -EAGAIN.
We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW
would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN.
However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and
independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't
actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such
assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method.
Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This
leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning
fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

The bridge netfilter code attaches a fake dst_entry with a pointer to a

leads to crashes when the skb is passed to __ip_route_output_key when
