NOMMU: Fix __get_user_pages() to pin last page on offset buffers
Fix __get_user_pages() to make it pin the last page on a buffer that doesn't
begin at the start of a page, but is a multiple of PAGE_SIZE in size.
The problem is that __get_user_pages() advances the pointer too much when it
iterates to the next page if the page it's currently looking at isn't used from
the first byte. This can cause the end of a short VMA to be reached
prematurely, resulting in the last page being lost.

mmc: fix incorrect interpretation of card type bits

reiserfs: properly honor read-only devices
The reiserfs journal behaves inconsistently when determining whether to
allow a mount of a read-only device.
This is due to the use of the continue_replay variable to short circuit
the journal scanning. If it's set, it's assumed that there are
transactions to replay, but there may not be. If it's unset, it's assumed
that there aren't any, and that may not be the case either.
I've observed two failure cases:
1) Where a clean file system on a read-only device refuses to mount
2) Where a clean file system on a read-only device passes the
optimization and then tries writing the journal header to update
the latest mount id.
The former is easily observable by using a freshly created file system on
a read-only loopback device.
This patch moves the check into journal_read_transaction, where it can
bail out before it's about to replay a transaction. That way it can go
through and skip transactions where appropriate, yet still refuse to mount
a file system with outstanding transactions.

reiserfs: fix oops while creating privroot with selinux enabled
Commit 57fe60df ("reiserfs: add atomic addition of selinux attributes
during inode creation") contains a bug that will cause it to oops when
mounting a file system that didn't previously contain extended attributes
on a system using security.* xattrs.
The issue is that while creating the privroot during mount
reiserfs_security_init calls reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks which
dereferences the xattr root. The xattr root doesn't exist, so we get an
oops.
In 2.6.34-rc1, removing vhost_net module causes an oops in sync_mm_rss
(called from do_exit) when workqueue is destroyed. This does not happen
on net-next, or with vhost on top of to 2.6.33.
The issue seems to be introduced by 34e55232e59f7b19050267a05ff1226e5cd122a5 ("mm: avoid false sharing of
mm_counter) which added sync_mm_rss() that is passed task->mm, and
dereferences it without checking. If task is a kernel thread, mm might be
NULL. I think this might also happen e.g. with aio.
This patch fixes the oops by calling sync_mm_rss when task->mm is set to
NULL. I also added BUG_ON to detect any other cases where counters get
incremented while mm is NULL.
(note: handle_rx_net is a work item using workqueue in question).
sync_mm_rss+0x33/0x6f gave me a hint. I also tried reverting 34e55232e59f7b19050267a05ff1226e5cd122a5 and the oops goes away.
The module in question calls use_mm and later unuse_mm from a kernel
thread. It is when this kernel thread is destroyed that the crash
happens.

using set_pte_at_notify to make it a read-only entry.
An unneeded mmu_notifier callout is made in the case where the known users

firewire: core: align driver match with modalias
The driver match strategy was:
- Match vendor/model/specifier/version of the unit directory.
- If that was a miss, match vendor from the root directory and
model/specifier/version of the unit directory.
This was inconsistent with how the modalias string was constructed
until recently (take vendor/model from root directory and specifier/
version from unit directory). It was also inconsistent with how it is
done since the parent commit:
- Use vendor/model/specifier/version of the unit directory if possible,
- fall back to one or more of vendor/model/specifier/version from the
root directory depending on which ones are not present at the unit
directory.
Fix this inconsistency by sharing the ROM scanner function between
modalias printer function and driver match function.

firewire: core: fix Model_ID in modalias
The modalias string of devices that represent units on a FireWire node
did not show Module_ID entries within unit directories. This was
because firewire-core searched only the root directory of the
configuration ROM for a Model_ID entry.
We now search first the root directory, then the unit directory. IOW
honor a unit directory's Model_ID if present, otherwise fall back to the
root directory's model ID (if present).
Furthermore, apply the same change to Vendor_ID. This had the same
issue but it was less apparent because most devices provide Vendor_ID
only in the root directory.
And finally, also use this strategy for the remaining two IDs in the
modalias, Specifier_ID and Version. It does not actually make sense to
look for them elsewhere than in the unit directory because they are
mandatory there. However, a uniform search order simplifies the
implementation and has no adverse affect in practice.
Side notes:
- The older counterpart of this, nodemgr.c of ieee1394, looked for
Vendor_ID first in the root directory, then in the unit directory,
and for Model_ID only in the unit directory.
- There is a single mainline driver which requires Vendor_ID and
Model_ID --- the firedtv driver. This one worked because FireDTVs
provide Vendor_ID in the root directory and Model_ID identically in
root directory and unit directory.
- Apart from firedtv, there are currently no drivers known to me
(including userspace drivers) that look at the Vendor_ID or Model_ID
of the modalias.
