Impact: widen the reach of the low-memory-protect DMI quirk
Phoenix BIOSes variously identify their vendor as "Phoenix Technologies,
LTD" or "Phoenix Technologies LTD" (without the comma.)
This patch makes the identification string in the bad_bios_dmi_table
more general (following a suggestion by Ingo Molnar), so that both
versions are handled.
Again, the patched file compiles cleanly and the patch has been tested
successfully on my machine.

Impact: makes device isolation the default for AMD IOMMU
Some device drivers showed double-free bugs of DMA memory while testing
them with AMD IOMMU. If all devices share the same protection domain
this can lead to data corruption and data loss. Prevent this by putting
each device into its own protection domain per default.

Shows that the code flow in ds_request() is buggy - it goes into
the unlock+release-context path even when the context is not allocated

First allocate the context, then do the other checks.
Also, take care with GFP allocations under the ds_lock spinlock.

If the size passed in is OK but we end up mapping too many segments,
we call the unmap path directly like from IO completion. But from IO
completion we have an extra reference to the bio, so this error case
goes OOPS when it attempts to free and already free bio.
Fix it by getting an extra reference to the bio before calling the
unmap failure case.

We run into system boot failure with kernel 2.6.28-rc. We found it on a
couple of machines, including T61 notebook, nehalem machine, and another
HPC NX6325 notebook. All the machines use FedoraCore 8 or FedoraCore 9.
With kernel prior to 2.6.28-rc, system boot doesn't fail.
I debug it and locate the root cause. Pls. see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11899
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471517
As a matter of fact, there are 2 bugs.
1)root=/dev/sda1, system boot randomly fails. Mostly, boot for 5 times
and fails once. nash has a bug. Some of its functions misuse return
value 0. Sometimes, 0 means timeout and no uevent available. Sometimes,
0 means nash gets an uevent, but the uevent isn't block-related (for
exmaple, usb). If by coincidence, kernel tells nash that uevents are
available, but kernel also set timeout, nash might stops collecting
other uevents in queue if current uevent isn't block-related. I work
out a patch for nash to fix it.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18858
2) root=LABEL=/, system always can't boot. initrd init reports
switchroot fails. Here is an executation branch of nash when booting:
(1) nash read /sys/block/sda/dev; Assume major is 8 (on my desktop)
(2) nash query /proc/devices with the major number; It found line
"8 sd";
(3) nash use 'sd' to search its own probe table to find device (DISK)
type for the device and add it to its own list;
(4) Later on, it probes all devices in its list to get filesystem
labels; scsi register "8 sd" always.
When major is 259, nash fails to find the device(DISK) type. I enables
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT=y when compiling kernel, so 259 is picked up
for device /dev/sda1, which causes nash to fail to find device (DISK)
type.
To fixing issue 2), I create a patch for nash and another patch for
kernel.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18859
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18837
Below is the patch for kernel 2.6.28-rc4. It registers blkext, a new
block device in proc/devices.
With 2 patches on nash and 1 patch on kernel, I boot my machines for
dozens of times without failure.

Impact: fix section mismatch warning in kernel/profile.c
Here, profile_nop function has been called from a non-init function
create_hash_tables(void). Which generetes a section mismatch warning.
Previously, create_hash_tables(void) was a init function. So, removing
__init from create_hash_tables(void) requires profile_nop to be
non-init.
This patch makes profile_nop function inline and fixes the
following warning:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6ebb6): Section mismatch in reference from
the function create_hash_tables() to the function
.init.text:profile_nop()
The function create_hash_tables() references
the function __init profile_nop().
This is often because create_hash_tables lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of profile_nop is wrong.

Impact: properly rebuild sched-domains on kmalloc() failure
When cpuset failed to generate sched domains due to kmalloc()
failure, the scheduler should fallback to the single partition
'fallback_doms' and rebuild sched domains, but now it only
destroys but not rebuilds sched domains.
The regression was introduced by:

only destroy sched domains and partition_sched_domains(1, NULL, NULL)
will create the default sched domain.

|

Fixes a data corruption under heavy stress in which pages could be left
dirty after all open instances of a inode have been closed.
In order to write contiguous pages whenever possible, cifs_writepages()
asks pagevec_lookup_tag() for more pages than it may write at one time.
Normally, it then resets index just past the last page written before calling
pagevec_lookup_tag() again.
If cifs_writepages() can't write the first page returned, it wasn't resetting
index, and the next call to pagevec_lookup_tag() resulted in skipping all of
the pages it previously returned, even though cifs_writepages() did nothing
with them. This can result in data loss when the file descriptor is about
to be closed.
This patch ensures that index gets set back to the next returned page so
that none get skipped.

Impact: fix incorrectly marked unstable TSC clock
Patch (commit 0d12cdd "sched: improve sched_clock() performance") has
a regression on one of the test systems here.
With the patch, I see:
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]:
Measured 28 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
Whereas, without the patch syncs pass fine on all CPUs:
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.
Due to this, TSC is marked unstable, when it is not actually unstable.
This is because syncs in check_tsc_wrap() goes away due to this commit.
As per the discussion on this thread, correct way to fix this is to add
explicit syncs as below?

Contrary to ad474caca3e2a0550b7ce0706527ad5ab389a4d4 changelog, other
acct_group_xxx() helpers can be called after exit_notify() by timer tick.
Thanks to Roland for pointing out this. Somehow I missed this simple fact
when I read the original patch, and I am afraid I confused Frank during
the discussion. Sorry.
Fortunately, these helpers work with current, we can check ->exit_state
to ensure that ->signal can't go away under us.
Also, add the comment and compiler barrier to account_group_exec_runtime(),
to make sure we load ->signal only once.

Impact: fix DMA buffer allocation coherency bug in certain configs
This patch fixes swiotlb to use dev->coherent_dma_mask in
swiotlb_alloc_coherent().
coherent_dma_mask is a subset of dma_mask (equal to it most of
the time), enumerating the address range that a given device
is able to DMA to/from in a cache-coherent way.
But currently, swiotlb uses dev->dma_mask in alloc_coherent()
implicitly via address_needs_mapping(), but alloc_coherent is really
supposed to use coherent_dma_mask.
This bug could break drivers that uses smaller coherent_dma_mask than
dma_mask (though the current code works for the majority that use the
same mask for coherent_dma_mask and dma_mask).
