Using a single list for all userspace devices leads to a dead lock
on multiplexed buses in some circumstances (mux chip instantiated
from userspace). This is solved by using a separate list for each
bus segment.

They should only be used in code which really needs DMA coherency.

Its an skb_over_panic BUG halt that results from processing an init chunk in
which too many of its variable length parameters are in some way malformed.
The problem is in sctp_process_unk_param:
if (NULL == *errp)
*errp = sctp_make_op_error_space(asoc, chunk,
ntohs(chunk->chunk_hdr->length));
if (*errp) {
sctp_init_cause(*errp, SCTP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PARAM,
WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)));
sctp_addto_chunk(*errp,
WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)),
param.v);
When we allocate an error chunk, we assume that the worst case scenario requires
that we have chunk_hdr->length data allocated, which would be correct nominally,
given that we call sctp_addto_chunk for the violating parameter. Unfortunately,
we also, in sctp_init_cause insert a sctp_errhdr_t structure into the error
chunk, so the worst case situation in which all parameters are in violation
requires chunk_hdr->length+(sizeof(sctp_errhdr_t)*param_count) bytes of data.
The result of this error is that a deliberately malformed packet sent to a
listening host can cause a remote DOS, described in CVE-2010-1173:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2010-1173
I've tested the below fix and confirmed that it fixes the issue. We move to a
strategy whereby we allocate a fixed size error chunk and ignore errors we don't
have space to report. Tested by me successfully

sctp_data_ready() to grab sk->sk_data_ready() with BH disabling.

If a futex key happens to be located within a huge page mapped
MAP_PRIVATE, get_futex_key() can go into an infinite loop waiting for a
page->mapping that will never exist.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552257 for more details
about the problem.
This patch makes page->mapping a poisoned value that includes
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON mapped MAP_PRIVATE. This is enough for futex to
continue but because of PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, the poisoned value is not
dereferenced or used by futex. No other part of the VM should be
dereferencing the page->mapping of a hugetlbfs page as its page cache is
not on the LRU.
This patch fixes the problem with the test case described in the bugzilla.

The lockdep facility temporarily disables lockdep checking by
incrementing the current->lockdep_recursion variable. Such
disabling happens in NMIs and in other situations where lockdep
might expect to recurse on itself.
This patch therefore checks current->lockdep_recursion, disabling RCU
lockdep splats when this variable is non-zero. In addition, this patch
removes the "likely()", as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

This patch adds variants of rcu_dereference() that handle
situations where the RCU-protected data structure cannot change,
perhaps due to our holding the update-side lock, or where the
RCU-protected pointer is only to be fetched, not dereferenced.
These are needed due to some performance concerns with using
rcu_dereference() where it is not required, aside from the need
for lockdep/sparse checking.
The new rcu_access_pointer() primitive is for the case where the
pointer is be fetch and not dereferenced. This primitive may be
used without protection, RCU or otherwise, due to the fact that
it uses ACCESS_ONCE().
The new rcu_dereference_protected() primitive is for the case
where updates are prevented, for example, due to holding the
update-side lock. This primitive does neither ACCESS_ONCE() nor
smp_read_barrier_depends(), so can only be used when updates are
somehow prevented.

NFS: Ensure that writeback_single_inode() calls write_inode() when syncing
NFS: Fix the mode calculation in nfs_find_open_context

Arnaud Giersch reports that NFSv4 locking is broken when we hold a
delegation since commit 8e469ebd6d (NFSv4:
Don't allow posix locking against servers that don't support it).
According to Arnaud, the lock succeeds the first time he opens the file
(since we cannot do a delegated open) but then fails after we start using
delegated opens.
The following patch fixes it by ensuring that locking behaviour is
governed by a per-filesystem capability flag that is initially set, but
gets cleared if the server ever returns an OPEN without the
NFS4_OPEN_RESULT_LOCKTYPE_POSIX flag being set.

radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set()
or radix_tree_tag_clear(). The problem is that the double tag_get() in
radix_tree_tag_get():
if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset))
saw_unset_tag = 1;
if (height == 1) {
int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset);
may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection
against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced
according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly.
The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that
radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying
the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any
functions reading the tree".
The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the
tag doesn't vary over time:
BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag);
This has been seen happening in FS-Cache:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html
To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various
comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held,
and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon
unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from
running concurrently with it.

Most drives from Seagate, Hitachi, and possibly other brands,
do not allow LBA28 access to sector number 0x0fffffff (2^28 - 1).
So instead use LBA48 for such accesses.
This bug could bite a lot of systems, especially when the user has
taken care to align partitions to 4KB boundaries. On misaligned systems,
it is less likely to be encountered, since a 4KB read would end at
0x10000000 rather than at 0x0fffffff.

Here is a patch to stop X.25 examining fields beyond the end of the packet.
For example, when a simple CALL ACCEPTED was received:
10 10 0f
x25_parse_facilities was attempting to decode the FACILITIES field, but this
packet contains no facilities field.

Move MULTIPORT feature and related config changes
out of exported headers, and disable the feature
at runtime.
At this point, it seems less risky to keep code around
until we can enable it than rip it out completely.
