2011-01-20Fix broken "pipe: use event aware wakeups" optimizationLinus Torvalds
Commit e462c448fdc8 ("pipe: use event aware wakeups") optimized the pipe event wakeup calls to avoid wakeups if the events do not match the requested set. However, the optimization was buggy, in that it didn't actually use the correct sets for the events: when we make room for more data to be written, the pipe poll() routine will return both the POLLOUT _and_ POLLWRNORM bits. Similarly for read. And most critically, when a pipe is released, that will potentially result in POLLHUP|POLLERR (depending on whether it was the last reader or writer), not just the regular POLLIN|POLLOUT. This bug showed itself as a hung gnome-screensaver-dialog process, stuck forever (or at least until it was poked by a signal or by being traced) in a poll() system call.

2011-01-20i915: Fix i915 suspend delayLinus Torvalds
During system suspend, the "wait for ring buffer to empty" loop would always time out after three seconds, because the faster cached ring buffer head read would always return zero. Force the slow-and-careful PIO read on all but the first iterations of the loop to fix it. This also removes the unused (and useless) 'actual_head' variable that tried to approximate doing this, but did it incorrectly. Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Rafael J.

2011-01-20ACPI / Battery: remove battery refresh on resumeLinus Torvalds
This partially reverts commit da8aeb92d4853f37e281f11fddf61f9c7d84c3cd ("ACPI / Battery: Update information on info notification and resume"), which causes a hang on resume on at least some machines. This bug was bisected on an ASUS EeePC 901, which hangs at resume time if we do that "acpi_battery_refresh(battery)" in the battery resume function. Rafael suspects we'll still need to refresh the sysfs files upon resume, but that that can be done from a PM notifier (that will run after thawing user space).

2011-01-18ACPICA: Fix issues/fault with automatic "serialized" method supportLin Ming
History: This support changes a method to "serialized" on the fly if the method generates an AE_ALREADY_EXISTS error, indicating the possibility that it cannot handle reentrancy. This fix repairs a couple of issues seen in the field, especially on machines with many cores. 1) Delete method children only upon the exit of the last thread, so as to not delete objects out from under running threads. 2) Set the "serialized" bit for the method only upon the exit of the last thread, so as to not cause deadlock when running threads attempt to exit. 3) Cleanup the use of the AML "MethodFlags" and internal method flags so that there is no longer any confustion between the two.

2011-01-18ACPICA: Fix namespace race conditionDana Myers
Fixes a race condition between method execution and namespace walks that can possibly fault. Problem was apparently introduced in version 20100528 as a result of a performance optimization that reduces the number of namespace walks upon method exit by using the delete_namespace_subtree function instead of the delete_namespace_by_owner function used previously. Bug is in the delete_namespace_subtree function.

2011-01-18ns83820: Avoid bad pointer deref in ns83820_init_one().Jesper Juhl
In drivers/net/ns83820.c::ns83820_init_one() we dynamically allocate memory via alloc_etherdev(). We then call PRIV() on the returned storage which is 'return netdev_priv()'. netdev_priv() takes the pointer it is passed and adds 'ALIGN(sizeof(struct net_device), NETDEV_ALIGN)' to it and returns it. Then we test the resulting pointer for NULL, which it is unlikely to be at this point, and later dereference it. This will go bad if alloc_etherdev() actually returned NULL. This patch reworks the code slightly so that we test for a NULL pointer (and return -ENOMEM) directly after calling alloc_etherdev().

2011-01-18ipv6: Silence privacy extensions initializationRomain Francoise
When a network namespace is created (via CLONE_NEWNET), the loopback interface is automatically added to the new namespace, triggering a printk in ipv6_add_dev() if CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY is set. This is problematic for applications which use CLONE_NEWNET as part of a sandbox, like Chromium's suid sandbox or recent versions of vsftpd. On a busy machine, it can lead to thousands of useless "lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" messages appearing in dmesg. It's easy enough to check the status of privacy extensions via the use_tempaddr sysctl, so just removing the printk seems like the most sensible solution.

While most users of a physical Malta board are using the serial port as the console, a lot of QEMU users would prefer to interact with a graphical console. Enable the Cirrus FB support in the Malta default configuration to make that possible. Note that the default console will still be the serial port, users have to pass "console=tty0" to the kernel to use the Cirrus FB.
