[PATCH] fix for race problem in DVB USB drivers (dibusb)
Fixed race between submitting streaming URBs in the driver and starting
the actual transfer in hardware (demodulator and USB controller) which
sometimes lead to garbled data transfers. URBs are now submitted first,
then the transfer is enabled. Dibusb devices and clones are now fully
functional again.

[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)

Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64.
This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it
overestimates the number of available RAM in a node. In extreme cases you
can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks
and other nasty behaviour.
This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820. Reserved

should be only a few percent error now.

[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.

incoming connection will fail due to this bug which again was carefully
replicated to at least AX.25, NET/ROM or ROSE.
In order to keep the abstraction alive I've introduced sock_copy_flags()
to copy the socket flags from one sockets to another and used that
instead of the bitwise copy thing. Anyway, the idea here has probably
been to copy all flags, so sock_copy_flags() should be the right thing.
With this the ham radio protocols are usable again, so I hope this will
make it into 2.6.13.
