ec426e106c [SCSI] qla2xxx: Log fcport state transitions when debug messages are enabled.
Add the inline function qla2x00_set_port_state() so that when a fcport state
transition happens we can log the state transition if debug messages are
enabled.

a4f92a32a0 [SCSI] qla2xxx: Verify login-state has transitioned to PRLI-completed.
Before driver's own internal state is marked as PLOGI/PRLI
complete. This additional check closes a window seen with
dual-personality initiator/target devices where a driver's
PLOGI/PRLI request occurs within the window after the target's
PLOGI request has completed, but prior to the target's PRLI
arriving and processed by the firmware. Without this additional
check, the firmware will return port-information stating that the
port neither supports target nor initiator functions, causing the
driver to register the rport prematurely to the FC-transport
without the proper 'roles' being set.

using Abort I/O IOCB, the driver needs to also populate the upper

7ebfa57f6d vfs: fix incorrect dentry_update_name_case() BUG_ON() test
The case we should be verifying when updating the dentry name is that
the _parent_ inode (the directory) semaphore is held, not the semaphore
for the dentry itself.  It's the directory locking that rename and
readdir() etc all care about.

The comment just above even says so - but then the BUG_ON() still
checked the dentry inode itself.

Very few people noticed, because this helper function really isn't used
for very much, so you had to be using ncpfs to ever hit it.

I think I should just remove the BUG_ON (the function really has just
one user), but let's run with it fixed for a while before getting rid of
it entirely.

f6603783f9 block: only force kblockd unplugging from the schedule() path
For the explicit unplugging, we'd prefer to kick things off
immediately and not pay the penalty of the latency to switch
to kblockd. So let blk_finish_plug() do the run inline, while
the implicit-on-schedule-out unplug will punt to kblockd.

88b996cd06 block: cleanup the block plug helper functions
It's a bit of a mess currently. task->plug is being cleared
and reset in __blk_finish_plug(), and blk_finish_plug() is
testing for a NULL plug which cannot happen even from schedule()
anymore since it uses blk_needs_flush_plug() to determine
whether to call into this function at all.

So get rid of some of the cruft.

written using a generic function.  Using the strings "yes [no]", "[yes]
no" (read), "yes" and "no" (write) will frustrate this.

b836aec53e ramfs: fix memleak on no-mmu arch
On no-mmu arch, there is a memleak during shmem test.  The cause of this
memleak is ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() added page refcount to 2
which makes iput() can't free that pages.

The simple test file is like this:

  int main(void)
  {
	int i;
	key_t k = ftok("/etc", 42);

	for ( i=0; i<100; ++i) {
		int id = shmget(k, 10000, 0644|IPC_CREAT);
		if (id == -1) {
			printf("shmget error\n");
		}
		if(shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL ) == -1) {
			printf("shm  rm error\n");
			return -1;
		}
	}
	printf("run ok...\n");
	return 0;
  }

And the result:

Commit 1de1502c ("x86, um: now we can get rid of trivial uml headers")
removed accidentally bug.h which broke UML's call tracer and bug
handler.

Without asm-generic/bug.h UML uses BUG() from arch/x86/ which makes use
of ud2.  UML cannot use ud2, it raises SIGILL in user mode.  As UML has
a different stack for handling signals the call trace will be cut off.

341aea2bc4 oom-kill: remove boost_dying_task_prio()
This is an almost-revert of commit 93b43fa ("oom: give the dying task a
higher priority").

That commit dramatically improved oom killer logic when a fork-bomb
occurs.  But I've found that it has nasty corner case.  Now cpu cgroup has
strange default RT runtime.  It's 0!  That said, if a process under cpu
cgroup promote RT scheduling class, the process never run at all.

If an admin inserts a !RT process into a cpu cgroup by setting
rtruntime=0, usually it runs perfectly because a !RT task isn't affected
by the rtruntime knob.  But if it promotes an RT task via an explicit
setscheduler() syscall or an OOM, the task can't run at all.  In short,
the oom killer doesn't work at all if admins are using cpu cgroup and don't
touch the rtruntime knob.

Eventually, kernel may hang up when oom kill occur.  I and the original
author Luis agreed to disable this logic.

929bea7c71 vmscan: all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as a name
all_unreclaimable check in direct reclaim has been introduced at 2.6.19
by following commit.

	2006 Sep 25; commit 408d8544; oom: use unreclaimable info

And it went through strange history. firstly, following commit broke
the logic unintentionally.

	2008 Apr 29; commit a41f24ea; page allocator: smarter retry of
				      costly-order allocations

Two years later, I've found obvious meaningless code fragment and
restored original intention by following commit.

	2010 Jun 04; commit bb21c7ce; vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages()
				      return value when priority==0

But, the logic didn't works when 32bit highmem system goes hibernation
and Minchan slightly changed the algorithm and fixed it .

	2010 Sep 22: commit d1908362: vmscan: check all_unreclaimable
				      in direct reclaim path

But, recently, Andrey Vagin found the new corner case. Look,

	struct zone {
	  ..
	        int                     all_unreclaimable;
	  ..
	        unsigned long           pages_scanned;
	  ..
	}

zone->all_unreclaimable and zone->pages_scanned are neigher atomic
variables nor protected by lock.  Therefore zones can become a state of
zone->page_scanned=0 and zone->all_unreclaimable=1.  In this case, current
all_unreclaimable() return false even though zone->all_unreclaimabe=1.

This resulted in the kernel hanging up when executing a loop of the form

1. fork
2. mmap
3. touch memory
4. read memory
5. munmmap

as described in
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1348725#1348725

Is this ignorable minor issue?  No.  Unfortunately, x86 has very small dma
zone and it become zone->all_unreclamble=1 easily.  and if it become
all_unreclaimable=1, it never restore all_unreclaimable=0.  Why?  if
all_unreclaimable=1, vmscan only try DEF_PRIORITY reclaim and
a-few-lru-pages>>DEF_PRIORITY always makes 0.  that mean no page scan at
all!

Eventually, oom-killer never works on such systems.  That said, we can't
use zone->pages_scanned for this purpose.  This patch restore
all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as old.  and in addition,
to add oom_killer_disabled check to avoid reintroduce the issue of commit
d1908362 ("vmscan: check all_unreclaimable in direct reclaim path").

fe936dfc23 mm: check that we have the right vma in __access_remote_vm()
In __access_remote_vm() we need to check that we have found the right
vma, not the following vma before we try to access it.  Otherwise we
might call the vma's access routine with an address which does not fall
inside the vma.

It was discovered on a current kernel but with an unreleased driver,
from memory it was strace leading to a kernel bad access, but it
obviously depends on what the access implementation does.

Looking at other access implementations I only see:

  $ git grep -A 5 vm_operations|grep access
  arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.c-	.access = spufs_mem_mmap_access,
  arch/x86/pci/i386.c-	.access = generic_access_phys,
  drivers/char/mem.c-	.access = generic_access_phys
  fs/sysfs/bin.c-	.access		= bin_access,

The spufs one looks like it might behave badly given the wrong vma, it
assumes vma->vm_file->private_data is a spu_context, and looks like it
would probably blow up pretty quickly if it wasn't.

generic_access_phys() only uses the vma to check vm_flags and get the
mm, and then walks page tables using the address.  So it should bail on
the vm_flags check, or at worst let you access some other VM_IO mapping.

And bin_access() just proxies to another access implementation.

4471a675df brk: COMPAT_BRK: fix detection of randomized brk
5520e89 ("brk: fix min_brk lower bound computation for COMPAT_BRK")
tried to get the whole logic of brk randomization for legacy
(libc5-based) applications finally right.

It turns out that the way to detect whether brk has actually been
randomized in the end or not introduced by that patch still doesn't work
for those binaries, as reported by Geert:

: /sbin/init from my old m68k ramdisk exists prematurely.
:
: Before the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e)                         = 0x80006000
:
: After the patch:
:
: | brk(0x80005c8e)                         = 0x80005c8e
:
: Old libc5 considers brk() to have failed if the return value is not
: identical to the requested value.

I don't like it, but currently see no better option than a bit flag in
task_struct to catch the CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK && randomize_va_space == 2
case.

81ab4201fb mm: add VM counters for transparent hugepages
I found it difficult to make sense of transparent huge pages without
having any counters for its actions.  Add some counters to vmstat for
allocation of transparent hugepages and fallback to smaller pages.

Optional patch, but useful for development and understanding the system.
