Fix generic fb_ddc i2c edid probe msg
Benh points out that the msgs[0].flags entry never got initialized, and
since it's an automatic stack allocation, it could have any random
value, which is bad.
Rewrite the initializer to explicitly initialize all fields of the small
i2c_msg structure array we generate. Just to keep it all obvious, let's
handle msgs[1].buf in the same initializer while we're at it, instead of
initializing that one separately later.
When radeonfb was changed to use the new "generic" ddc, a bit of
code initializing the GPIO lines was lost, causing it to not work
if the firmware didn't configure them properly, which seems to
happen on some cards.

The root cause is that some irq_chip variables, especially ia64_msi_chip,

if irq_chip->end is null and just calls it after processing the interrupt.
As irq_chip->end is called at many places, so I fix it by reinitiating
irq_chip->end to dummy_irq_chip.end, e.g., a noop function.
The root cause is the device struct is initialized twice.
If the device is allocated dynamically by platform_device_alloc,
platform_device_alloc will initialize struct device, then,
platform_device_add should be used to register the device.
The difference between platform_device_register and platform_device_add is
platform_device_register will initiate the device while platform_device_add
won't.

So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all,

you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag,

self-IPI."

[PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset too
(David:)
If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example,
because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff
will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path.
But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path
will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the
non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will
cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in
the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the
same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud
entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't
have a machine to test it on.
(Hugh:)
prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks
virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from
unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same
prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do.
Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor
is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of
VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if
hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region
when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad
behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge
mappings into a separate region of the address space.

We don't know yet how to handle this transparently,

2.6.19-rc4 has broken CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP support on x86_64. It is impossible

to zero instead of the max_pfn value before the user map is setup.
This happens because saved_max_pfn is initialized at parse_early_param() time,
and at this time no active regions have been registered. save_max_pfn is setup
from e820_end_of_ram(), more exact find_max_pfn_with_active_regions() which

(32768). This happens simply because of one extra '0'.
Instead of setting up a 0x800 size, 0x8000 is set up. On bare metal this
is fine because the CPU wont load any segments unless they are
explicitly used. But unfortunately, this breaks Xen on vmx FV, since it
(for now) blindly loads all the segments into the VMCS if they are less
than the gdt limit. Since the real mode segments are around 0x3000, we are
getting junk into the VMCS and that later causes an exception.
Stephen Tweedie has written up a patch to fix the Xen side and will be
submitting that to those folks. But that doesn't excuse the GDT limit
being a magnitude too big.

libata: fix double-completion on error
A curious thing happens, however, when ata_qc_new_init fails to get
an ata_queued_cmd:
First, ata_qc_new_init handles the failure like this:
cmd->result = (DID_OK << 16) | (QUEUE_FULL << 1);
done(cmd);
Then, we return to ata_scsi_translate and do this:
err_mem:
cmd->result = (DID_ERROR << 16);
done(cmd);
It appears to me that first we set a status code indicating that we're
ok but the device queue is full and finish the command, but then
we blow away that status code and replace it with an error flag and
finish the command a second time! That does not seem to be desirable
behavior since we merely want the I/O to wait until a command slot
frees up, not send errors up the block layer.
In the err_mem case, we should simply exit out of ata_scsi_translate
instead.

IB/mad: Fix race between cancel and receive completion
When ib_cancel_mad() is called, it puts the canceled send on a list
and schedules a "flushed" callback from process context. However,
this leaves a window where a receive completion could be processed
before the send is fully flushed.
This is fine, except that ib_find_send_mad() will find the MAD and
return it to the receive processing, which results in the sender
getting both a successful receive and a "flushed" send completion for
the same request. Understandably, this confuses the sender, which is
expecting only one of these two callbacks, and leads to grief such as
a use-after-free in IPoIB.
Fix this by changing ib_find_send_mad() to return a send struct only
if the status is still successful (and not "flushed"). The search of
the send_list already had this check, so this patch just adds the same
check to the search of the wait_list.
Change ehca's Kconfig to activates scaling code as default. After
several measurements we saw that this feature prevents dropped packets
(UD) in stress situation. Thus, enabling it helps to improve ehca's
bandwidth through IPoIB.
