[PATCH] kill include/linux/eeprom.h
This patch kills include/linux/eeprom.h .
Rationale:
- it was only used by one single driver
- even this driver didn't do anything useful with it
- most of this file are non-inline and non-static functions (sic)
This removes include/linux/eeprom.h and cleans drivers/net/ns83820.c up.
If you think eeprom.h should be used more extensively, please consider:
- the code has to be moved from the header file to a .c file
- the currently empty write function has to be implemented
- ns83820.c or any other driver should actually use it
Noone did any of these during the more than 3 years eeprom.h already
exists...

[PATCH] unbindable mounts
An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation. Also
unbindable mount disallows bind mounts. The semantics is as follows.
Bind semantics:
It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount.
Move semantics:
It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount.
Clone-namespace semantics:
If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding
cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too. Note:
there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted
but can be cloned during clone-namespace.

[PATCH] saner handling of auto_acct_off() and DQUOT_OFF() in umount
The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might
keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn
them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) and
a) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off)
b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota off
Moreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics.
The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of
reference to vfsmount. Semantics:
- when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are
converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done.
- normal reference can be cloned into a special one
- special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if
we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e. mntput() had
converted special references to normal and started cleanup).
The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount
reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back
to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no
normal references are left. That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2)
and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to
vfsmount is gone. Which is exactly what we want...
The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal
references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should
make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly
when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone.
quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so
there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all. DQUOT_OFF() is done from
deactivate_super(), where it really belongs.

[SPARC64] mm: context switch ptlock
sparc64 is unique among architectures in taking the page_table_lock in
its context switch (well, cris does too, but erroneously, and it's not
yet SMP anyway).
This seems to be a private affair between switch_mm and activate_mm,
using page_table_lock as a per-mm lock, without any relation to its uses
elsewhere. That's fine, but comment it as such; and unlock sooner in
switch_mm, more like in activate_mm (preemption is disabled here).
There is a block of "if (0)"ed code in smp_flush_tlb_pending which would
have liked to rely on the page_table_lock, in switch_mm and elsewhere;
but its comment explains how dup_mmap's flush_tlb_mm defeated it. And
though that could have been changed at any time over the past few years,
now the chance vanishes as we push the page_table_lock downwards, and
perhaps split it per page table page. Just delete that block of code.
Which leaves the mysterious spin_unlock_wait(&oldmm->page_table_lock)
in kernel/fork.c copy_mm. Textual analysis (supported by Nick Piggin)
suggests that the comment was written by DaveM, and that it relates to
the defeated approach in the sparc64 smp_flush_tlb_pending. Just delete
this block too.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
nwfpe extended precision emulation used to be broken on big-endian

extended precision floats to/from userspace in the proper word order

The routine that nwfpe uses for converting floats/doubles to
extended precision fails to zero two bytes of kernel stack. This
is not immediately obvious, as the floatx80 structure has 16 bits
of implicit padding (by design.) These two bytes are copied to
userspace when an stfe is emulated, causing a possible info leak.
Make the padding explicit and zero it out in the relevant places.
