If two writers allocating blocks to file race with each other (e.g.
because writepages races with ordinary write or two writepages race with
each other), ext2_getblock() can be called on the same inode in parallel.
Before we are going to allocate new blocks, we have to recheck the block
chain we have obtained so far without holding truncate_mutex. Otherwise
we could overwrite the indirect block pointer set by the other writer
leading to data loss.
The below test program by Ying is able to reproduce the data loss with ext2
on in BRD in a few minutes if the machine is under memory pressure:
long kMemSize = 50 << 20;
int kPageSize = 4096;
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int status;
int count = 0;
int i;
char *fname = "/mnt/test.mmap";
char *mem;
unlink(fname);
int fd = open(fname, O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_RDWR, 0600);
status = ftruncate(fd, kMemSize);
mem = mmap(0, kMemSize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
// Fill the memory with 1s.
memset(mem, 1, kMemSize);
sleep(2);
for (i = 0; i < kMemSize; i++) {
int byte_good = mem[i] != 0;
if (!byte_good && ((i % kPageSize) == 0)) {
//printf("%d ", i / kPageSize);
count++;
}
}
munmap(mem, kMemSize);
close(fd);
unlink(fname);
if (count > 0) {
printf("Running %d bad page\n", count);
return 1;
}
return 0;
}

SHMEM_MAX_BYTES was derived from the maximum size of its triple-indirect
swap vector, forgetting to take the MAX_LFS_FILESIZE limit into account.
Never mind 256kB pages, even 8kB pages on 32-bit kernels allowed files to
grow slightly bigger than that supposed maximum.
Fix this by using the min of both (at build time not run time). And it
happens that this calculation is good as far as 8MB pages on 32-bit or
16MB pages on 64-bit: though SHMSWP_MAX_INDEX gets truncated before that,
it's truncated to such large numbers that we don't need to care.

Fix a division by zero which we have in shmem_truncate_range() and
shmem_unuse_inode() when using big PAGE_SIZE values (e.g. 256kB on
ppc44x).
With 256kB PAGE_SIZE, the ENTRIES_PER_PAGEPAGE constant becomes too large
(0x1.0000.0000) on a 32-bit kernel, so this patch just changes its type
from 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned long long'.
Hugh: reverted its unsigned long longs in shmem_truncate_range() and
shmem_getpage(): the pagecache index cannot be more than an unsigned long,
so the divisions by zero occurred in unreached code. It's a pity we need
any ULL arithmetic here, but I found no pretty way to avoid it.

Change cb6ff20807 ("NOMMU: Support XIP on
initramfs") seems to have broken booting from initramfs with /sbin/init
being a hardlink.
It seems like the logic required for XIP on nommu, i.e. ftruncate to
reported cpio header file size (body_len) is broken for hardlinks, which
have a reported size of 0, and the truncate thus nukes the contents of the
file (in my case busybox), making boot impossible and ending with runaway
loop modprobe binfmt-0000 - and of course 0000 is not a valid binary
format.
My fix is to only call ftruncate if size is non-zero which fixes things
for me, but I'm not certain whether this will break XIP for those files on
nommu systems, although I would guess not.

Pointed out by Roland. The bug was recently introduced by me in
"forget_original_parent: split out the un-ptrace part", commit
39c626ae47.
Since that patch we have a window after exit_ptrace() drops tasklist and
before forget_original_parent() takes it again. In this window the child
can do ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) and nobody can untrace this child after
that.
Change ptrace_traceme() to not attach to the exiting ->real_parent. We
don't report the error in this case, we pretend we attach right before
->real_parent calls exit_ptrace() which should untrace us anyway.

The "simplify spi_write_then_read()" patch included two regressions from
the 2.6.27 behaviors:
- The data it wrote out during the (full duplex) read side
of the transfer was not zeroed.
- It fails completely on half duplex hardware, such as
Microwire and most "3-wire" SPI variants.
So, revert that patch. A revised version should be submitted at some
point, which can get the speedup on standard hardware (full duplex)
without breaking on less-capable half-duplex stuff.

Data sheet at:
http://www.sensirion.ch/en/pdf/product_information/Datasheet-humidity-sensor-SHT1x.pdf
These sensors communicate over a 2 wire bus running a device specific
protocol. The complexity of the driver is mainly due to handling the
substantial delays between requesting a reading and the device pulling the
data line low to indicate that the data is available. This is handled by
an interrupt that is disabled under all other conditions.
I wasn't terribly clear on the best way to handle this, so comments on
that aspect would be particularly welcome!
Interpretation of the temperature depends on knowing the supply voltage.
If configured in a board config as a regulator consumer this is obtained
from the regulator subsystem. If not it should be provided in the
platform data.
I've placed this driver in the hwmon subsystem as it is definitely a
device that may be used for hardware monitoring and with it's relatively
slow response times (up to 120 millisecs to get a reading) a caching
strategy certainly seems to make sense!

There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous

In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's
better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before
