1e40cd383c [PATCH] uml: fixes performance regression in activate_mm and thus exec()
Normally, activate_mm() is called from exec(), and thus it used to be a
no-op because we use a completely new "MM context" on the host (for
instance, a new process), and so we didn't need to flush any "TLB entries"
(which for us are the set of memory mappings for the host process from the
virtual "RAM" file).

Kernel threads, instead, are usually handled in a different way.  So, when
for AIO we call use_mm(), things used to break and so Benjamin implemented
activate_mm().  However, that is only needed for AIO, and could slow down
exec() inside UML, so be smart: detect being called for AIO (via
PF_BORROWED_MM) and do the full flush only in that situation.

Comment also the caller so that people won't go breaking UML without
noticing.  I also rely on the caller's locks for testing current->flags.

f549d6c18c [PATCH] Generic VFS fallback for security xattrs
This patch modifies the VFS setxattr, getxattr, and listxattr code to fall
back to the security module for security xattrs if the filesystem does not
support xattrs natively.  This allows security modules to export the incore
inode security label information to userspace even if the filesystem does
not provide xattr storage, and eliminates the need to individually patch
various pseudo filesystem types to provide such access.  The patch removes
the existing xattr code from devpts and tmpfs as it is then no longer
needed.

The patch restructures the code flow slightly to reduce duplication between
the normal path and the fallback path, but this should only have one
user-visible side effect - a program may get -EACCES rather than
-EOPNOTSUPP if policy denied access but the filesystem didn't support the
operation anyway.  Note that the post_setxattr hook call is not needed in
the fallback case, as the inode_setsecurity hook call handles the incore
inode security state update directly.  In contrast, we do call fsnotify in
both cases.

e070ad49f3 [PATCH] add /proc/pid/smaps
Add a "smaps" entry to /proc/pid: show howmuch memory is resident in each
mapping.

People that want to perform a memory consumption analysing can use it
mainly if someone needs to figure out which libraries can be reduced for
embedded systems.  So the new features are the physical size of shared and
clean [or dirty]; private and clean [or dirty].

Take a look the example below:

From: Torsten Foertsch <torsten.foertsch@gmx.net>

show_smap calls first show_map and then prints its additional information to
the seq_file.  show_map checks if all it has to print fits into the buffer and
if yes marks the current vma as written.  While that is correct for show_map
it is not for show_smap.  Here the vma should be marked as written only after
the additional information is also written.

The attached patch cures the problem.  It moves the functionality of the
show_map function to a new function show_map_internal that is called with an
additional struct mem_size_stats* argument.  Then show_map calls
show_map_internal with NULL as struct mem_size_stats* whereas show_smap calls
it with a real pointer.  Now the final

	if (m->count < m->size)  /* vma is copied successfully */
		m->version = (vma != get_gate_vma(task))? vma->vm_start: 0;

is done only if the whole entry fits into the buffer.

6e21c8f145 [PATCH] /proc/<pid>/numa_maps to show on which nodes pages reside
This patch was recently discussed on linux-mm:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=112085728500002&r=1&w=2

I inherited a large code base from Ray for page migration.  There was a
small patch in there that I find to be very useful since it allows the
display of the locality of the pages in use by a process.  I reworked that
patch and came up with a /proc/<pid>/numa_maps that gives more information
about the vma's of a process.  numa_maps is indexes by the start address
found in /proc/<pid>/maps.  F.e.  with this patch you can see the page use
of the "getty" process:

getty uses ld.so.  The first vma is the code segment which is used by 43
other processes and the pages are evenly distributed over the 4 nodes.

The second vma is the process specific data portion for ld.so.  This is
only one page.

The display format is:

<startaddress>	 Links to information in /proc/<pid>/map
<memory policy>  This can be "default" "interleave={}", "prefer=<node>" or "bind={<zones>}"
MaxRef=		<maximum reference to a page in this vma>
Pages=		<Nr of pages in use>
Mapped=		<Nr of pages with mapcount >
Anon=		<nr of anonymous pages>
Nx=		<Nr of pages on Node x>

The content of the proc-file is self-evident.  If this would be tied into
the sparsemem system then the contents of this file would not be too
useful.

573dbd9596 [CRYPTO]: crypto_free_tfm() callers no longer need to check for NULL
Since the patch to add a NULL short-circuit to crypto_free_tfm() went in,
there's no longer any need for callers of that function to check for NULL.
This patch removes the redundant NULL checks and also a few similar checks
for NULL before calls to kfree() that I ran into while doing the
crypto_free_tfm bits.

I've succesfuly compile tested this patch, and a kernel with the patch 
applied boots and runs just fine.

When I posted the patch to LKML (and other lists/people on Cc) it drew the
following comments :

 J. Bruce Fields commented
  "I've no problem with the auth_gss or nfsv4 bits.--b."

 Sridhar Samudrala said
  "sctp change looks fine."

 Herbert Xu signed off on the patch.

So, I guess this is ready to be dropped into -mm and eventually mainline.

36676bcbf9 [PATCH] Fix oops in sysfs_hash_and_remove_file()
The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without
ever having been made completely visible.  In SCSI this is triggered by
removing a device while it's initialising.

The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs,
the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made
to it.  The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was
never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL.

(akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems.  May not be the
long-term fix)

d634cc15e8 [PATCH] Fix oops in fs/locks.c on close of file with pending locks
The recent change to locks_remove_flock code in fs/locks.c changes how
byte range locks are removed from closing files, which shows up a bug in
cifs.

The assumption in the cifs code was that the close call sent to the
server would remove any pending locks on the server on this file, but
that is no longer safe as the fs/locks.c code on the client wants unlock
of 0 to PATH_MAX to remove all locks (at least from this client, it is
not possible AFAIK to remove all locks from other clients made to the
server copy of the file).

Note that cifs locks are different from posix locks - and it is not
possible to map posix locks perfectly on the wire yet, due to
restrictions of the cifs network protocol, even to Samba without adding
a new request type to the network protocol (which we plan to do for
Samba 3.0.21 within a few months), but the local client will have the
correct, posix view, of the lock in most cases.

The correct fix for cifs for this would involve a bigger change than I
would like to do this late in the 2.6.13-rc cycle - and would involve
cifs keeping track of all unmerged (uncoalesced) byte range locks for
each remote inode and scanning that list to remove locks that intersect
or fall wholly within the range - locks that intersect may have to be
reaquired with the smaller, remaining range.

a10faeb2a3 [CIFS] Support for mounting to older, pre-CIFS servers added. This
allows specifying an RFC1001 target "called" name (netbios name of the
server, which can now be pecified as mount option "servernetbiosname"
but will eventually be passed in automatically on retry of host down
error messages caused when server refuses to handle default server
name and can not handle port 445). This is an important step, but
additional testing and fixup is needed to add remaining function needed
for these.

cc314eef01 Fix nasty ncpfs symlink handling bug.
This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs
used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions.  But those
functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a
page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still
be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk.

We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it
is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking
helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability.

We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a
cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine.  This
also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

2fb1e3086d [PATCH] jffs2: fix symlink error handling
The current calling conventions for ->follow_link() are already fairly
complex.

What we have is
	1) you can return -error; then you must release nameidata yourself
	   and ->put_link() will _not_ be called.
	2) you can do nd_set_link(nd, ERR_PTR(-error)) and return 0
	3) you can do nd_set_link(nd, path) and return 0
	4) you can return 0 (after having moved nameidata yourself)

jffs2 follow_link() is broken - it has an exit where it returns
-EIO and leaks nameidata.
