7670876d2d [PATCH] stop leaking cfq_data in cfq_set_request()
We don't need to pin ->key down; ->cfqq->cfqd will do that for us.
Incidentally, that stops the leak we had - that reference was never
dropped.

b0a6916bcc [PATCH] fix cfq hash lookups
If somebody does a hash lookup for cfq_queue while ioprio of an async queue
is elevated, they shouldn't end up stuck with lowered ioprio when we go back.
Fix is to use ->org_ioprio{,class} in hash lookups.

60a6dc55b9 [PATCH] Kconfig: swap VIDEO_CX88_ALSA and VIDEO_CX88_DVB
VIDEO_CX88_ALSA should not be between VIDEO_CX88_DVB and
VIDEO_CX88_DVB_ALL_FRONTENDS

When cx88-alsa was added to cx88/Kconfig, it was added in between
VIDEO_CX88_DVB and VIDEO_CX88_DVB_ALL_FRONTENDS.  This caused
undesireable effects to the appearance of the menu options in
menuconfig.

This fix reorders cx88-alsa and cx88-dvb in Kconfig, to match saa7134,
and restore the correct menuconfig appearance.

6f5e6b9e69 [PATCH] fix free swap cache latency
Lee Revell reported 28ms latency when process with lots of swapped memory
exits.

2.6.15 introduced a latency regression when unmapping: in accounting the
zap_work latency breaker, pte_none counted 1, pte_present PAGE_SIZE, but a
swap entry counted nothing at all.  We think of pages present as the slow
case, but Lee's trace shows that free_swap_and_cache's radix tree lookup
can make a lot of work - and we could have been doing it many thousands of
times without a latency break.

Move the zap_work update up to account swap entries like pages present.
This does account non-linear pte_file entries, and unmap_mapping_range
skipping over swap entries, by the same amount even though they're quick:
but neither of those cases deserves complicating the code (and they're
treated no worse than they were in 2.6.14).

7670f023aa [PATCH] kbuild: fix buffer overflow in modpost

Fix this by allocating at least the required memory + SZ bytes each time.

glibc detected bug above.  Based on patch originally submitted by: Jiri

85c6932ef0 [PATCH] nfsservctl(): remove user-triggerable printk
A user can use nfsservctl() to spam the logs.

This can happen because the arguments to the nfsservctl() system call are
versioned.  This is a good thing.  However, when a bad version is detected,
the kernel prints a message and then returns an error.

8ba32fde2c [PATCH] dm stripe: Fix bounds
The dm-stripe target currently does not enforce that the size of a stripe
device be a multiple of the chunk-size.  Under certain conditions, this can
lead to I/O requests going off the end of an underlying device.  This
test-case shows one example.

echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 0" | dmsetup create linear0
echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 100" | dmsetup create linear1
echo "0 200 striped 2 32 /dev/mapper/linear0 0 /dev/mapper/linear1 0" | \
   dmsetup create stripe0
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/stripe0 bs=1k

This will produce the output:
dd: writing '/dev/mapper/stripe0': Input/output error
97+0 records in
96+0 records out

And in the kernel log will be:
attempt to access beyond end of device
dm-0: rw=0, want=104, limit=100

The patch will check that the table size is a multiple of the stripe
chunk-size when the table is created, which will prevent the above striped
device from being created.

This should not affect tools like LVM or EVMS, since in all the cases I can
think of, striped devices are always created with the sizes being a
multiple of the chunk-size.

The size of a stripe device must be a multiple of its chunk-size.

(akpm: that typecast is quite gratuitous)

82c3c03a40 [PATCH] x86: check for online cpus before bringing them up
Bryce reported a bug wherein offlining CPU0 (on x86 box) and then
subsequently onlining it resulted in a lockup.

On x86, CPU0 is never offlined.  The subsequent attempt to online CPU0
doesn't take that into account.  It actually tries to bootup the already
booted CPU.  Following patch fixes the problem (as acknowledged by Bryce).
Please consider for inclusion in 2.6.16.

Check if cpu is already online.
