STag zero is a special STag that allows consumers to access any bus
address without registering memory. The nes driver unfortunately
allows STag zero to be used even with QPs created by unprivileged
userspace consumers, which means that any process with direct verbs
access to the nes device can read and write any memory accessible to
the underlying PCI device (usually any memory in the system). Such
access is usually given for cluster software such as MPI to use, so
this is a local privilege escalation bug on most systems running this
driver.
The driver was using STag zero to receive the last streaming mode
data; to allow STag zero to be disabled for unprivileged QPs, the
driver now registers a special MR for this data.

There was a report of a data corruption
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121. There is a script included to
reproduce the problem.
During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I
tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem. I found that
fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be
cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had
already been called for that inode. This points to memory scribble, or
synchronisation problme.
i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other
processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is
cleared. Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify
i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from
the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without
waiting for I_NEW. Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption. In
my case it would look like this:
CPU0 CPU1
unlock_new_inode() __sync_single_inode()
reg <- inode->i_state
reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW) reg <- inode->i_state
reg -> inode->i_state reg -> reg | I_SYNC
reg -> inode->i_state
Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again.
Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them:
inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity
operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory
either.
After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or
hangs after ~1hour of running. Previously, the new warnings would start
immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes.
I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either. I
don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a
real problem for me.

Currently we disable the Acer WMI backlight device if there is no ACPI
backlight device. As a result, we end up with no backlight device at all.
We should instead disable it if there is an ACPI device, as the other
laptop drivers do. This regression was introduced in febf2d9 ("Acer-WMI:
fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality").
Each laptop driver with backlight support got a similar change around
febf2d9. The changes to the other drivers look correct; see e.g.
a598c82f for a similar but correct change. The regression is also in
2.6.28.

The s3cmci driver is calling s3c2410_dma_config with incorrect data for
the DCON register. The S3C2410_DCON_HWTRIG is implicit in the channel
configuration and the device selection of S3C2410_DCON_CH0_SDI is
incorrect as the DMA system may not select channel 0.

Unfortunately, Linux Foundation funding for my work on
man-pages/testing/doc under the auspices of the LF documentation
fellowship unfortunately ran out a short while ago (after earlier attempts
to seek funding, only Google stepped forward with a bit of further funding
for the position), so the patch below acknowledges something closer to
reality.
Unfortunately, there will (probably very) soon be a further downgrade from
"Maintained" to "Odd Fixes" or "Orphan", unless some funding miracle
occurs. So, if anyone is looking to become man-pages maintainer, there
may soon be an opening (okay, don't trample me in the rush ;-).)

If the second fasync_helper() fails, pipe_rdwr_fasync() returns the error
but leaves the file on ->fasync_readers.
This was always wrong, but since 233e70f422
"saner FASYNC handling on file close" we have the new problem. Because in
this case setfl() doesn't set FASYNC bit, __fput() will not do
->fasync(0), and we leak fasync_struct with ->fa_file pointing to the
freed file.

W1 master implementations are expected to return 0 or 1 from their
read_bit() function. However, not all platforms do return these values
from gpio_get_value() - namely PXAs won't. Hence the w1 gpio-master needs
to break the result down to 0 or 1 itself.

It is currently impossible to run a user-mode linux machine inside another
user-mode linux (UML on UML). It breaks after a few instructions. When
it tries to check whether SYSEMU is installed (the inner) UML receives an
inconsistent result (from the outer UML).
This is the output of a broken attempt:
$ ./linux mem=256m ubd0=cow
Locating the bottom of the address space ... 0x0
Locating the top of the address space ... 0xc0000000
Core dump limits :
soft - 0
hard - NONE
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK
Checking ptrace new tags for syscall emulation...unsupported
Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...check_sysemu : expected SIGTRAP, got status = 256
$
The problem is the following:
PTRACE_SYSCALL/SINGLESTEP is currently managed inside arch_ptrace for ARCH=um.
PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP is not captured in arch_ptrace's switch,
therefore it is erroneously passed back to ptrace_request (in
kernel/ptrace).
This simple patch simply forces ptrace to return an error on
PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP as it is unsupported on ARCH=um, and fixes
the problem.

Commit 47a8b0cc (Enable PCIe AER only after checking firmware
support) wants to walk the PCI bus in the remove path to disable
AER, and calls pci_walk_bus for downstream bridges.
Unfortunately, in the remove path, we remove devices and bridges
in a depth-first manner, starting with the furthest downstream
bridge and working our way backwards.
The furthest downstream bridges will not have a dev->subordinate,
and we hit a NULL deref in pci_walk_bus.
Check for dev->subordinate first before attempting to walk the
PCI hierarchy below us.

This patch is intended to disable L0s ASPM link state for 82598 (ixgbe)
parts due to the fact that it is possible to corrupt TX data when coming
back out of L0s on some systems. The workaround had been added for 82575
(igb) previously, but did not use the ASPM api. This quirk uses the ASPM
api to prevent the ASPM subsystem from re-enabling the L0s state.
Instead of adding the fix in igb to the ixgbe driver as well it was
decided to move it into a pci quirk. It is necessary to move the fix out
of the driver and into a pci quirk in order to prevent the issue from
occuring prior to driver load to handle the possibility of the device being
passed to a VM via direct assignment.
