The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*.
What I want is a separate /sys/class/net directory in sysfs for each
network namespace, and I want to name each of them /sys/class/net.
I looked and the VFS actually allows that. All that is needed is
for /sys/class/net to implement a follow link method to redirect
lookups to the real directory you want.
Implementing a follow link method that is sensitive to the current
network namespace turns out to be 3 lines of code so it looks like a
clean approach. Modifying sysfs so it doesn't get in my was is a bit
trickier.
I am calling the concept of multiple directories all at the same path
in the filesystem shadow directories. With the directory entry really
at that location the shadow master.
The following patch modifies sysfs so it can handle a directory
structure slightly different from the kobject tree so I can implement
the shadow directories for handling /sys/class/net/.

[PATCH] Keys: Fix key serial number collision handling
Fix the key serial number collision avoidance code in key_alloc_serial().
This didn't use to be so much of a problem as the key serial numbers were
allocated from a simple incremental counter, and it would have to go through
two billion keys before it could possibly encounter a collision. However, now
that random numbers are used instead, collisions are much more likely.
This is fixed by finding a hole in the rbtree where the next unused serial
number ought to be and using that by going almost back to the top of the
insertion routine and redoing the insertion with the new serial number rather
than trying to be clever and attempting to work out the insertion point
pointer directly.
This fixes kernel BZ #7727.

[MIPS] Alchemy: Fix PCI-memory access
The problem was introduced in 2.6.18.3 with the casting of some
36bit-defines (PCI memory) in au1000.h to resource_size_t which may be
u32 or u64 depending on the experimental CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT.
With unset CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT, the pci-memory cannot be accessed
because the ioremap in arch/mips/au1000/common/pci.c already used the
truncated addresses.
With set CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT, things get even worse, because PCI-scan
aborts, due to resource conflict: request_resource() in arch/mips/pci/pci.c
fails because the maximum iomem-address is 0xffffffff (32bit) but the
pci-memory-start-address is 0x440000000 (36bit).
To get pci working again, I propose the following patch:
1. remove the resource_size_t-casting from au1000.h again
2. make the casting in arch/mips/au1000/common/pci.c (it's allowed and
necessary here. The 36bit-handling will be done in __fixup_bigphys_addr).

[IA64] swiotlb bug fixes
This patch fixes
- marking I-cache clean of pages DMAed to now only done for IA64
- broken multiple inclusion in include/asm-x86_64/swiotlb.h
- missing call to mark_clean in swiotlb_sync_sg()
- a (perhaps only theoretical) issue in swiotlb_dma_supported() when
io_tlb_end is exactly at the end of memory

[IA64] show_mem() for IA64 sparsemem NUMA
On the ia64 architecture only this patch upgrades show_mem() for sparse
memory to be the same as it was for discontig memory. It has been shown to
work on NUMA and flatmem architectures.

[IA64] alignment bug in ldscript
Occasionally the FSYS_RETURN patch list can have an odd length, causing other
data structures to get out of alignment. In OpenVZ it is odd and we get
misaligned kernel image, which does not boot.

[IA64] register memory ranges in a consistent manner
While pursuing and unrelated issue with 64Mb granules I noticed a problem
related to inconsistent use of add_active_range. There doesn't appear any
reason to me why FLATMEM versus DISCONTIG_MEM should register memory to
add_active_range with different code. So I've changed the code into a
common implementation.
The other subtle issue fixed by this patch was calling add_active_range in
count_node_pages before granule aligning is performed. We were lucky with
16MB granules but not so with 64MB granules. count_node_pages has reserved
regions filtered out and as a consequence linked kernel text and data
aren't covered by calls to count_node_pages. So linked kernel regions
wasn't reported to add_active_regions. This resulted in free_initmem
causing numerous bad_page reports. This won't occur with this patch
because now all known memory regions are reported by
register_active_ranges.
