After commit a97c9bf33f4612e2aed6f000f6b1d268b6814f3c (fix cramfs
making duplicate entries in inode cache) in kernel 2.6.14, named-pipe
on cramfs does not work properly.
It seems the commit make all named-pipe on cramfs share their inode
(and named-pipe buffer).
Make ..._test() refuse to merge inodes with ->i_ino == 1, take inode setup
back to get_cramfs_inode() and make ->drop_inode() evict ones with ->i_ino
== 1 immediately.

Fixes kernel BUG at lib/radix-tree.c:473.
Previously the handler was incidentally provided by tmpfs but this was
removed with:
commit 14fcc23fdc78e9d32372553ccf21758a9bd56fa1
Author: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

tmpfs: fix kernel BUG in shmem_delete_inode
relying on this behaviour was incorrect in any case and the BUG also
appeared when the device node was on an ext3 filesystem.
v2: override a_ops at open() time rather than mmap() time to minimise
races per AKPM's concerns.

On a PowerPC board with ds1374 RTC I'm getting this error while RTC tries
to probe:
rtc-ds1374 0-0068: unable to request IRQ
This happens because I2C probing code (drivers/of/of_i2c.c) is specifying
IRQ0 for 'no irq' case, which is correct.
The driver handles this incorrectly, though. This patch fixes it.

XIP can call into get_xip_mem concurrently with the same file,offset with
create=1. This usually maps down to get_block, which expects the page
lock to prevent such a situation. This causes ext2 to explode for one
reason or another.
Serialise those calls for the moment. For common usages today, I suspect
get_xip_mem rarely is called to create new blocks. In future as XIP
technologies evolve we might need to look at which operations require
scalability, and rework the locking to suit.

XIP has a race between sparse pages being inserted into page tables, and
sparse pages being zapped when its time to put a non-sparse page in.
What can happen is that a process can be left with a dangling sparse page
in a MAP_SHARED mapping, while the rest of the world sees the non-sparse
version. Ie. data corruption.
Guard these operations with a seqlock, making fault-in-sparse-pages the
slowpath, and try-to-unmap-sparse-pages the fastpath.

There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly
be accounted for.
clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty.
page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and
write protects the pte if it was dirty. It uses page_check_address to
find the pte. That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is
not present. Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then
back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this
should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may
be dirty.
For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte
before setting it to the desired value. There may also be other code in
core mm or in arch which do similar things.
The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and
loss of dirty page accounting accuracy. XIP's __xip_unmap could easily
also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can
lead to data corruption.
Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in
page_check_address.
It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and
try_to_unmap.

When user calls sys_setpriority(PRIO_PGRP ...) on a NPTL style multi-LWP
process, only the task leader of the process is affected, all other
sibling LWP threads didn't receive the setting. The problem was that the
iterator used in sys_setpriority() only iteartes over one task for each
process, ignoring all other sibling thread.
Introduce a new macro do_each_pid_thread / while_each_pid_thread to walk
each thread of a process. Convert 4 call sites in {set/get}priority and
ioprio_{set/get}.

Absolute alignment requirements may never be applied to node-relative
offsets. Andreas Herrmann spotted this flaw when a bootmem allocation on
an unaligned node was itself not aligned because the combination of an
unaligned node with an aligned offset into that node is not garuanteed to
be aligned itself.
This patch introduces two helper functions that align a node-relative
index or offset with respect to the node's starting address so that the
absolute PFN or virtual address that results from combining the two
satisfies the requested alignment.
Then all the broken ALIGN()s in alloc_bootmem_core() are replaced by these
helpers.

With commit 5ad31a575157147b43fa84ef1e21471661653878 ("rtc: remove BKL
for ioctl()"), RTC_UIE_ON ioctl cause double lock on rtc->ops_lock.
The ops_lock must not be held while set_uie() calls rtc_read_time()
which takes the lock. Also clear_uie() does not need ops_lock. This
patch fixes return value of RTC_UIE_OFF ioctl too.

In case the binfmt_misc binary handler is registered *before* the e.g.
script one (when for example being compiled as a module) the following
situation may occur:
1. user launches a script, whose interpreter is a misc binary;
2. the load_misc_binary sets the misc_bang and returns -ENOEVEC,
since the binary is a script;
3. the load_script_binary loads one and calls for search_binary_hander
to run the interpreter;
4. the load_misc_binary is called again, but refuses to load the
binary due to misc_bang bit set.
The fix is to move the misc_bang setting lower - prior to the actual
call to the search_binary_handler.
Caused by the commit 3a2e7f47 (binfmt_misc.c: avoid potential kernel
stack overflow)

Add a comment to s390's page_test_dirty/page_clear_dirty/page_set_dirty
dance in page_remove_rmap(): I was wrong to think the PageSwapCache test
could be avoided, and would like a comment in there to remind me. And
mention s390, to help us remember that this block is not really common.
Also move down the "It would be tidy to reset PageAnon" comment: it does
not belong to s390's block, and it would be unwise to reset PageAnon
before we're done with testing it.

I won't say 'fix', because they still look broken, although this will at
least allow 'make ARCH=CRIS headers_install' to _complete_.
For headers which are exported, we should probably choose between
asm/arch-v10 and asm/arch-v32 by something that GCC defines -- we can't
rely on a generated symlink. And we certainly can't export an arch/
directory which doesn't even exist.
And the only thing that we seem to include from the arch/ directory is
<asm/arch/ptrace.h> from <asm/ptrace.h> ... and that isn't exported in
either arch-v10 or arch-v32 _anyway_.

There was another FAT BKL conversion deadlock reported by Bart
Trojanowski due to the BKL being used as a recursive lock by FAT, which
was missed because it only triggers with 'sync' (or 'dirsync') mounts.
The recursion worked for the BKL, but after the conversion to lock_super
(which uses a mutex), it just deadlocks.
Thanks to Bart for debugging this and testing the fix. The lock

=======================
where the deadlock is due to the nesting of lock_super from vfat_unlink
to fat_write_inode:
- do_unlinkat
- vfs_unlink
- vfat_unlink
* lock_super
- fat_remove_entries
- fat_sync_inode
- fat_write_inode
* lock_super
and the fix is to simply remove the use of lock_super() in fat_write_inode.
The lock_super() there had been just an automatic conversion of the
kernel lock to the superblock lock, but no locking was actually needed
there, since the code in fat_write_inode already protected all relevant
accesses with a spinlock (sbi->inode_hash_lock to be exact). The only
code inside the BKL (and thus the superblock lock) was accesses tp local
variables or calls to functions that have long been SMP-safe (i.e.
sb_bread, mark_buffe_dirty and brlese).

When CMO is enabled and booted on a non CMO system and the VIO
device's probe function fails, an oops can result since
vio_cmo_bus_remove is called when it should not. This fixes it by
avoiding the vio_cmo_bus_remove call on platforms that don't implement
CMO.

Recent of_platform changes made of_bus_type_init() overwrite the bus
type's .dev_attrs list, meaning that the "name" attribute that ibmebus
devices previously had is no longer present. This is a user-visible
regression which breaks the userspace eHCA support, since the eHCA
userspace driver relies on the name attribute to check for valid
adapters.
This fixes it by providing the "name" attribute in the generic OF
device code instead. Tested on POWER.

A change to __ioremap() broke reading /dev/oldmem because we're no
longer able to ioremap pfn 0 (d177c207, "[PATCH] powerpc: IOMMU: don't
ioremap null addresses").
We actually don't need to ioremap for anything that's part of the linear
mapping, so just read it directly.
Also make sure we're only reading one page or less at a time.

This reverts commit 34ae7f35a21694aa5cb8829dc5142c39d73d6ba0, which has
been reported to cause a number of problems. During suspend and resume,
it apparently causes a crash in a CPU hotplug notifier to happen,
although the exact details are sketchy because of the inability to get
good traces during the suspend sequence.

sbp2 was too quick to report .update() to the ieee1394 core as failed.
(Logged as "Failed to reconnect to sbp2 device!".) The core would then
unbind sbp2 from the device.
This is not justified if the .update() failed because another bus reset
happened. We check this and tell the ieee1394 that .update() succeeded,
and the core will call sbp2's .update() for the new bus reset as well.
This improves reconnection/re-login especially on buses with several
disks as they may issue bus resets in close succession when they come
online.

Regression since commit 73cf60232ef16e1f8a64defa97214a1722db1e6c,
"ieee1394: use class iteration api": The two loops for (1.) driver
updates and (2.) driver probes were replaced by a single loop with
bogus needs_probe checks. Hence updates and probes were now intermixed,
and especially sbp2 updates (reconnects) held up longer than necessary.
While we fix it, change the needs_probe flag to bool type for clarity.

commit f2afa7711f8585ffc088ba538b9a510e0d5dca12 ("Input: paper over a bug in
Synaptics X driver") introduced a compiler warning on 64-bit platforms, as
sizeof() returns a size_t, not an (unsigned) int:
| drivers/input/evdev.c: In function 'handle_eviocgbit':
| drivers/input/evdev.c:684: warning: format '%d' expects type 'int', but argument 3 has type 'long unsigned int'
Use the proper `z' modifier for size_t, and make the printf() formats for the
sizes unsigned while we're at it.
