[PATCH] ncpfs fails to correctly retry requests on timeout
sock_sendmsg() modifies iovec passed to it - it sets all length members of
iovec array to zero on success transmission (and even on failed if it
fails after iovec copy, but...) and advances pointers to point at the end
of buffers used. This has an unfortunate effect that ncpfs's retry on
failure does not work for IPX/UDP connections - kernel refused to do anything
because length from iovec was 0 while length passed to sock_sendmsg() was
correct.
This simple fix gets rid of a problem by creating temporary iovec copy, which can
sock_sendmsg destroy if it has such wish.

[PATCH] ppc64 POWER3 segment table fix
The ppc64 fix last week (enforcing permissions on the kernel when
accessing userspace pages) uncovered a bug on POWER3/RS64. We werent
zeroing the segment table entry before overwriting it and it was possible
for the ks bit to be set on a kernel segment.
The VSID mask was also changed to match reality (we only use 13 bits).
[PATCH] ppc64: Let OF initialize all displays in the system
This patch reworks the early boot calls to OF to initialize displays.
All present displays are now initialized in reverse order so the
OF console stays on the first one. Initializing them all is necessary
for dual head configurations as we need OF driver to properly setup
the secondary TMDS of the video card, XFree isn't able to do that
currently
[PATCH] ppc64: Fix occasional crash at boot in OF interface
The assembly code used to callback into Open Firmware client
interface in 32 bits mode used to backup the stack pointer in
the SPRG2 register.
That upsets Apple's implementation of Open Firmware significantly
and maybe others, causing them to crash in _some_ operations,
apparently the trigger is to cause a segment or hash table
fault, typically happens when letting that code initialize the
second display.
This patch fixes it, along with other cleanups of that asm code,
it did unnecessary register restores and backing up the stack
pointer is actually useless anyway.
Strangely, I though I fixed that a long time ago, but it was still
broken in the current tree...
Drivers like radeonfb fail to find the OF device matching a given PCI
device on the G5 AGP bus because of some bus renumbering tricks. This
patch fixes the problem by fixing the bus numbers in the OF node. This
corrects radeonfb and other drivers looking for EDID / PLL datas in the
OF node.
This fixes possible lockups in pmac_zilog when beeing flooded with
incoming data (not that other serial drivers share the same race, I told
Russel about it already). It also fixes some SCC initialization
problems, add some PM callback, and fix the irda setup code.

Ok, found it.
It really looks like the new EISA probing code in hp100 never got
tested, since a precious offset has disappeared during the rewriting

Please note that you still need to enable the device by hand, since
your BIOS (or maybe the EISA CFG file, since I'm seeing the exact same
problem on a Compaq machine here) doesn't properly enable the card.

[PATCH] vma corruption fix
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Fixes bugzilla #2219
fork's dup_mmap leaves child mm_rb as copied from parent mm while doing all
the copy_page_ranges, and then calls build_mmap_rb without holding
page_table_lock.
try_to_unmap_one's find_vma (holding page_table_lock not mmap_sem) coming
on another cpu may cause mm mayhem. It may leave the child's mmap_cache
pointing to a vma of the parent mm.
When the parent exits and the child faults, quite what happens rather
depends on what junk then inhabits vm_page_prot, which gets set in the page
table, with page_add_rmap adding the ptep, but junk pte likely to fail the
tests for page_remove_rmap.
Eventually the child exits, the page table is freed and try_to_unmap_one
oopses on null ptep_to_mm (but in a kernel with rss limiting, usually
page_referenced hits the null ptep_to_mm first).
This took me days and days to unravel! Big thanks to Matthieu for
reporting it with a good test case.
