* Revert "[PATCH] kthread: update loop.c to use kthread"Linus Torvalds2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit c7b2eff059fcc2d1b7085ee3d84b79fd657a537b. Hugh Dickins explains: "It seems too little tested: "losetup -d /dev/loop0" fails with EINVAL because nothing sets lo_thread; but even when you patch loop_thread() to set lo->lo_thread = current, it can't survive more than a few dozen iterations of the loop below (with a tmpfs mounted on /tst): j=0 cp /dev/zero /tst while : do let j=j+1 echo "Doing pass $j" losetup /dev/loop0 /tst/zero mkfs -t ext2 -b 1024 /dev/loop0 >/dev/null 2>&1 mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt umount /mnt losetup -d /dev/loop0 done it collapses with failed ioctl then BUG_ON(!bio). I think the original lo_done completion was more subtle and safe than the kthread conversion has allowed for." Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] drivers/block/loop.c: don't return garbage if LOOP_SET_STATUS not calledConstantine Sapuntzakis2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop device was returning total garbage. It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl. This losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call. The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL, which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer. This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in loop_set_fd. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| * | | [SCSI] fix (unlikely) memory leak in DAC960 driverJesper Juhl2006-05-20

But it can still happen even if it's unlikely. If the first call that allocates 'PhysicalDeviceInfo' fails but the one that allocates 'InquiryUnitSerialNumber' succeeds, then we will leak the memory allocated to 'InquiryUnitSerialNumber' when the variable goes out of scope. A simple fix for this is to change the existing code that frees 'PhysicalDeviceInfo' if that one was allocated but 'InquiryUnitSerialNumber' was not, into a check for either pointer being NULL and if so just free both. This is safe since kfree() can deal with being passed a NULL pointer and it avoids the leak. While I was there I also removed the casts of the kmalloc() return value since it's pointless. I also updated the driver version since this patch changes the workings of the code (however slightly). This issue could probably be fixed a lot more elegantly, but the code is a big mess IMHO and I just took the least intrusive route to a fix that I could find instead of starting on a cleanup as well (that can come later).

* | | | [NET]: Clean up skb_linearizeHerbert Xu2006-06-18

So we can replace __skb_linearize with __pskb_pull_tail which does the same thing but is more general. Also, most users of skb_linearize end up testing whether the skb is linear or not so it helps to make skb_linearize do just that. Some callers of skb_linearize also use it to copy cloned data, so it's useful to have a new function skb_linearize_cow to copy the data if it's either non-linear or cloned. Last but not least, I've removed the gfp argument since nobody uses it anymore. If it's ever needed we can easily add it back.

| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In kernel 2.6.16, if a mounted storage device is removed, an oops happens because ub supplies an interface device (and kobject) to the block layer, but neglects to pin it. And apparently, the block layer expects its users to pin device structures. The code in ub was broken this way for years. But the bug was exposed only by 2.6.16 when it started to call block_uevent on close, which traverses device structures (kobjects actually).

If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other ->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0, a parameter is seted to argv_init[].

* [PATCH] drivers/block/floppy.c: dont free_irq() from irq contextIngo Molnar2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | free_irq() should not be executed from softirq context. Found by the lock validator. The fix is to push fd_free_irq() into keventd. The code validates fine with this patch applied. (akpm: this is revolting, but so is floppy.c) [akpm@osdl.org: added flush_scheduled_work()] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
