Danny Tholen 13ade36f52 1394: fix for recently added firewire patch that breaks things on ppc
Recently a patch was added for preliminary suspend/resume handling on
!PPC_PMAC.  However, this broke both suspend and firewire on powerpc
because it saves the pci state after the device has already been disabled.

This moves the save state to before the pmac specific code.

Sridhar Samudrala 28ea23d984 Fix sctp privilege elevation (CVE-2006-3745)
sctp_make_abort_user() now takes the msg_len along with the msg
so that we don't have to recalculate the bytes in iovec.
It also uses memcpy_fromiovec() so that we don't go beyond the
length allocated.

It is good to have this fix even if verify_iovec() is fixed to
return error on overflow.

Robert Hancock 6e2a620448 Fix broken suspend/resume in ohci1394
I've been experimenting to track down the cause of suspend/resume problems
on my Compaq Presario X1050 laptop:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6075

Essentially the ACPI Embedded Controller and keyboard controller would
get into a bizarre, confused state after resume.

I found that unloading the ohci1394 module before suspend and reloading it
after resume made the problem go away.  Diffing the dmesg output from
resume, with and without the module loaded, I found that with the module
loaded I was missing these:

PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 1. (Was 2100080, writing 2100007)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 3. (Was 0, writing 8008)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 4. (Was 0, writing 90200000)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset 5. (Was 1, writing 2401)
PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:00.0 at offset f. (Was 20000100, writing 2000010a)

The default PCI driver performs the pci_restore_state when no driver is
loaded for the device.  When the ohci1394 driver is loaded, it is supposed
to do this, however it appears not to do so.

I created the patch below and tested it, and it appears to resolve the
suspend problems I was having with the module loaded.  I only added in the
pci_save_state and pci_restore_state - however, though I know little of
this hardware, surely the driver should really be doing more than this when
suspending and resuming?  Currently it does almost nothing, what if there
are commands in progress, etc?

Pavel Machek d92165febd pdflush: handle resume wakeups
2.6.16 needs this. It was merged into 2.6.18-rc1.

pdflush is carefully designed to ensure that all wakeups have some
corresponding work to do - if a woken-up pdflush thread discovers that
it hasn't been given any work to do then this is considered an error.

That all broke when swsusp came along - because a timer-delivered
wakeup to a frozen pdflush thread will just get lost.  This causes the
pdflush thread to get lost as well: the writeback timer is supposed to
be re-armed by pdflush in process context, but pdflush doesn't execute
the callout which does this.

Fix that up by ignoring the return value from try_to_freeze(): jsut
proceed, see if we have any work pending and only go back to sleep if
that is not the case.

It looks like metapage_releasepage was making in invalid assumption that
the releasepage method would not be called on a dirty page.  Instead of
issuing a warning and releasing the metapage, it should return 0, indicating
that the private data for the page cannot be released.

I also realized that metapage_releasepage had the return code all wrong.  If
it is successful in releasing the private data, it should return 1, otherwise
it needs to return 0.

Lastly, there is no need to call wait_on_page_writeback, since
try_to_release_page will not call us with a page in writback state.

Robin H. Johnson 2fb0b930b5 [PATCH] tmpfs: time granularity fix for [acm]time going backwards
I noticed a strange behavior in a tmpfs file system the other day, while
building packages - occasionally, and seemingly at random, make decided to
rebuild a target. However, only on tmpfs.

A file would be created, and if checked, it had a sub-second timestamp.
However, after an utimes related call where sub-seconds should be set, they
were zeroed instead. In the case that a file was created, and utimes(...,NULL)
was used on it in the same second, the timestamp on the file moved backwards.

After some digging, I found that this was being caused by tmpfs not having a
time granularity set, thus inheriting the default 1 second granularity.

Hugh adds: yes, we missed tmpfs when the s_time_gran mods went into 2.6.11.
Unfortunately, the granularity of CURRENT_TIME, often used in filesystems,
does not match the default granularity set by alloc_super.  A few more such
discrepancies have been found, but this is the most important to fix now.

Oleg Drokin 0bd99264e9 [PATCH] Missed error checking for intent's filp in open_namei().
It seems there is error check missing in open_namei for errors returned
through intent.open.file (from lookup_instantiate_filp).

If there is plain open performed, then such a check done inside
__path_lookup_intent_open called from path_lookup_open(), but when the open
is performed with O_CREAT flag set, then __path_lookup_intent_open is only
called with LOOKUP_PARENT set where no file opening can occur yet.

Later on lookup_hash is called where exact opening might take place and
intent.open.file may be filled.  If it is filled with error value of some
sort, then we get kernel attempting to dereference this error value as
address (and corresponding oops) in nameidata_to_filp() called from
filp_open().

While this is relatively simple to workaround in ->lookup() method by just
checking lookup_instantiate_filp() return value and returning error as
needed, this is not so easy in ->d_revalidate(), where we can only return
"yes, dentry is valid" or "no, dentry is invalid, perform full lookup
again", and just returning 0 on error would cause extra lookup (with
potential extra costly RPCs).

So in short, I believe that there should be no difference in error handling
for opening a file and creating a file in open_namei() and propose this
simple patch as a solution.

David Miller 9d8e2ed7c5 [PATCH] SPARC64: Fix missing fold at end of checksums.
Both csum_partial() and the csum_partial_copy*() family of routines
forget to do a final fold on the computed checksum value on sparc64.
So do the standard Sparc "add + set condition codes, add carry"
sequence, then make sure the high 32-bits of the return value are
clear.

Based upon some excellent detective work and debugging done by
Richard Braun and Samuel Thibault.

David Miller af948395f0 [PATCH] SPARC64: Respect gfp_t argument to dma_alloc_coherent().
Using asm-generic/dma-mapping.h does not work because pushing
the call down to pci_alloc_coherent() causes the gfp_t argument
of dma_alloc_coherent() to be ignored.

Fix this by implementing things directly, and adding a gfp_t
argument we can use in the internal call down to the PCI DMA
implementation of pci_alloc_coherent().

This fixes massive memory corruption when using the sound driver
layer, which passes things like __GFP_COMP down into these
routines and (correctly) expects that to work.

This is a disk eater when sound is used, so it's pretty critical.
