patch 0b53167697 in mainline.
ipw2200 makes extensive use of background scanning when unassociated or
down. Unfortunately, the firmware sends scan completed events many
times per second, which the driver pushes directly up to userspace.
This needlessly wakes up processes listening for wireless events many
times per second. Batch together scan completed events for
non-user-requested scans and send them up to userspace every 4 seconds.
Scan completed events resulting from an SIOCSIWSCAN call are pushed up
without delay.

softlockup: improve debug output
Improve the debuggability of kernel lockups by enhancing the debug
output of the softlockup detector: print the task that causes the lockup
and try to print a more intelligent backtrace.
The old format was:
BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#1!

=======================
The new format is:

=======================
Note that in the old format we only knew that some system call locked
up, we didnt know _which_. With the new format we know that it's at a
specific place in sys_prctl(). [which was where i created an artificial
kernel lockup to test the new format.]
This is also useful if the lockup happens in user-space - the user-space
EIP (and other registers) will be printed too. (such a lockup would
either suggest that the task was running at SCHED_FIFO:99 and looping
for more than 10 seconds, or that the softlockup detector has a
false-positive.)
The task name is printed too first, just in case we dont manage to print
a useful backtrace.

x86: fix freeze in x86_64 RTC update code in time_64.c
Fix hard freeze on x86_64 when the ntpd service calls
update_persistent_clock()
A repeatable but randomly timed freeze has been happening in Fedora 6
and 7 for the last year, whenever I run the ntpd service on my AMD64x2
HP Pavilion dv9000z laptop. This freeze is due to the use of
spin_lock(&rtc_lock) under the assumption (per a bad comment) that
set_rtc_mmss is called only with interrupts disabled. The call from
ntp.c to update_persistent_clock is made with interrupts enabled.

ntp: fix typo that makes sync_cmos_clock erratic
Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC)
clock when synced to NTP to behave erratically.
When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I
run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the
sync_cmos_clock procedure. I discovered that it was not syncing to
cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying
every second for hours at a time. The reason turned out to be a typo
in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that
update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1
second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to
"xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime"
but not equal to it. This makes the test erratic, creating a
"coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when
it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one
second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is
needlessly incorrect, too.

x86: NX bit handling in change_page_attr()
This patch fixes a bug of change_page_attr/change_page_attr_addr on
Intel x86_64 CPUs. After changing page attribute to be executable with
these functions, the page remains un-executable on Intel x86_64 CPU.
Because on Intel x86_64 CPU, only if the "NX" bits of all four level
page tables are cleared, the corresponding page is executable (refer to
section 4.13.2 of Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's
Manual). So, the bug is fixed through clearing the "NX" bit of PMD when
splitting the huge PMD.

No patch in mainline as this logic has been removed from 2.6.24 so it is

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340161
The problem code has been removed in 2.6.24. The below patch disables
SCHED_FEAT_PRECISE_CPU_LOAD which causes the offending code to be skipped
but does not prevent the user from enabling it.
The divide-by-zero is here in kernel/sched.c:

{
u64 fair_delta64, exec_delta64, idle_delta64, sample_interval64, tmp64;

ls->delta_fair = 0;
exec_delta64 = ls->delta_exec + 1;
ls->delta_exec = 0;
sample_interval64 = this_rq->clock - ls->load_update_last;
ls->load_update_last = this_rq->clock;
if ((s64)sample_interval64 < (s64)TICK_NSEC)
sample_interval64 = TICK_NSEC;
if (exec_delta64 > sample_interval64)
exec_delta64 = sample_interval64;
idle_delta64 = sample_interval64 - exec_delta64;
======> tmp64 = div64_64(SCHED_LOAD_SCALE * exec_delta64, fair_delta64);
tmp64 = div64_64(tmp64 * exec_delta64, sample_interval64);
this_load = (unsigned long)tmp64;
do_avg:
/* Update our load: */
for (i = 0, scale = 1; i < CPU_LOAD_IDX_MAX; i++, scale += scale) {
unsigned long old_load, new_load;
/* scale is effectively 1 << i now, and >> i divides by scale */
old_load = this_rq->cpu_load[i];
new_load = this_load;
this_rq->cpu_load[i] = (old_load*(scale-1) + new_load) >> i;
}

This is not a new problem in 2.6.23-git17. 2.6.22/2.6.23 is buggy in the
same way.
Reiserfs could accumulate dirty sub-page-size files until umount time.
They cannot be synced to disk by pdflush routines or explicit `sync'
commands. Only `umount' can do the trick.
The direct cause is: the dirty page's PG_dirty is wrongly _cleared_.

Fix the bug by removing the cancel_dirty_page() call. Tests show that
it causes no bad behaviors on various write sizes.
=== for the patient ===
Here are more detailed demonstrations of the problem.
1) the page has both PG_dirty(D)/PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY(d) after being written to;
and then only PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY(d) remains after the file is closed.

As with
7fc90ec93a5eb71f4b08... "call nfsd_setuser() on fh_compose()..."
this is a case where we need to redo a security check in fh_verify()
even though the filehandle already has an associated dentry--if the
filehandle was created by fh_compose() in an earlier operation of the
nfsv4 compound, then we may not have done these checks yet.
Without this fix it is possible, for example, to traverse from an export
without the secure ports requirement to one with it in a single
compound, and bypass the secure port check on the new export.
While we're here, fix up some minor style problems and change a printk()
to a dprintk(), to make it harder for random unprivileged users to spam

with VGN rather than PCG. Update the eeprom driver so that it
recognizes these.
Why this matters: the eeprom driver hides private data from the
EEPROMs it recognizes as Vaio EEPROMs (passwords, serial number...) so
if the driver fails to recognize a Vaio EEPROM as such, the private
data is exposed to the world.

patch be8a1f7cd4 in mainline.
Turns out we don't actually check the status to see if there was a
device out there to talk to, just if we had a timeout when doing so.
Add the proper check, so we don't falsly think there are devices
on the bus that are not there, etc.

patch a3474224e6 in mainline
The original meaning of the old test (p->state > TASK_STOPPED) was
"not dead", since it was before TASK_TRACED existed and before the
state/exit_state split. It was a wrong correction in commit
14bf01bb05 to make this test for
TASK_TRACED instead. It should have been changed when TASK_TRACED
was introducted and again when exit_state was introduced.

patch 96a2d41a3e in mainline.
NULL ptr can be returned from tcp_write_queue_head to cached_skb
and then assigned to skb if packets_out was zero. Without this,
system is vulnerable to a carefully crafted ACKs which obviously
is remotely triggerable.
Besides, there's very little that needs to be done in sacktag
if there weren't any packets outstanding, just skipping the rest
doesn't hurt.

patch 61e930a904 in mainline
This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by commit
44dd151d5c
We cannot zero the user page in nfs_mark_uptodate() any more, since
a) We'd be modifying the page without holding the page lock
b) We can race with other updates of the page, most notably
because of the call to nfs_wb_page() in nfs_writepage_setup().
Instead, we do the zeroing in nfs_update_request() if we see that we're
creating a request that might potentially be marked as up to date.
Thanks to Olivier Paquet for reporting the bug and providing a test-case.

ocfs2: fix write() performance regression
On file systems which don't support sparse files, Ocfs2_map_page_blocks()
was reading blocks on appending writes. This caused write performance to
suffer dramatically. Fix this by detecting an appending write on a nonsparse
fs and skipping the read.

Differs from mainline, but the functionality is already there.
P5W-DH Deluxe has ICH7R which doesn't have PMP support but SIMG 4726
hardwired to the second port of AHCI controller at PCI device 1f.2.
The 4726 doesn't work as PMP but as a storage processor which can do
hardware RAID on downstream ports.
When no device is attached to the downstream port of the 4726, pseudo
ATA device for configuration appears. Unfortunately, ATA emulation on
the device is very lousy and causes long hang during boot.
This patch implements workaround for the board. If the mainboard is
P5W-DH Deluxe (matched using DMI), only hardreset is used on the
second port of AHCI controller @ 1f.2 and the hardreset doesn't depend
on receiving the first FIS and just proceed to IDENTIFY.
This workaround fixes bugzilla #8923.

Differs from mainline, but the functionality is already there.
Backport ATA_FLAG_NO_SRST and ATA_FLAG_ASSUME_ATA. These are
originally link flags (ATA_LFLAG_*) but link abstraction doesn't exist
on 2.6.23, so make it port flags.
This is for the following workaround for ASUS P5W DH Deluxe.
These new flags don't introduce any behavior change unless set and
nobody sets them yet.

- register_device unconditionally (non-pci dependent) to have also isa
devices in /dev
- unregister devices on module removal
- don't set TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV twice (removed the one dependent on some
macro)
This is the substantial part of the patch and the previous point is for
not checking which devices to unregister and which not (simply register
and unregister all found no matter on which bus they are plugged).
