[PATCH] PROT_GROWSDOWN/PROT_GROWSUP flags for mprotect
There is currently no clean and efficient way to apply mprotect to all of a
program's stack, i.e. to the moving edge of a GROWSDOWN or GROWSUP mapping.
Some processes want to change these protections, particularly to set or
clear the PROT_EXEC bits on stack space. As it is, an mprotect done to
cover the precise edge page of the mapping will have the desired effect of
changing the protection for existing pages and having that new protection
carried over to new pages grown later. But there is no very reasonable way
of ascertaining where the edge of the mapping is if it might have grown in
the past beyond the usage at the moment. An mprotect call that doesn't
cover the edge page splits the mapping and doesn't do what we need.
This patch adds flags that can be OR'd into the protection bits in an
mprotect system call. PROT_GROWSDOWN means the memory lies in a GROWSDOWN
mapping and the start address of the region to be changed should be
extended down to the current low page of that mapping. Similarly,
PROT_GROWSUP means the pages lie in a GROWSUP mapping and the length of the
region to be changed should be extended up to include its highest page.
These flags also explicitly request the (already implicit) behavior that
the protection change applied to the lowest/highest page of a growing
mapping is passed on to new pages grown later. There are no other changes
to the mprotect behavior; in particular, the boundary in the non-growing
direction (the end address computed from the start+len arguments in the
GROWSDOWN case, and the start argument in the GROWSUP case) is as given by
the arguments to the system call. This is desireable in the use of this
call by a process on its stack, so it can change the protections of the
growing mapping used for program stack distinctly from the protections on
the arguments, environment, and AT_* data from exec.

[PATCH] 32-bit dev_t: md fallout
This fixes a NULL ptr dereference in md_probe() noted by Helge Hafting.
It even gets the things slightly better than they used to be, but
late-boot magic in md.c is certainly a mess. Oh, well...
It's _ugly_. md_probe() is misused there big way. The minimal fix is
to revert the cleanup in md_probe() - replace
int unit = *part;
with
int unit = MINOR(dev);
However, that is crap solution. The problem is that md_probe() is called
directly with bogus arguments - not only part is NULL (which triggers the
oops), but dev (which is supposed to be dev_t value) is actually mdidx(mddev).
Cleaner fix follows, but we really need to get the situation with gendisk
allocations into the sane shape there. Sigh...

[PATCH] asm/softirq.h is dead
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Still three arches keep an unused copy around and quite a few places refer

Two of the two arches also include it in their _ksyms.c file, but given
that softirq.h only contains macros (which are in hardirq.c as well) that's
just a leftover as well.
this patch fixes a bug that appeared only on Alpha hardware with
DAC960 controllers. The Command->PciDevice structure member was
never initialized. This was passed to the pci scatter/gather functions.
This didn't cause a problem for x86 platforms because the scatter/gather
funtions never really used that information. Alpha platforms do use
that pointer.
The Command->PciDevice field was also redundant with the Controller->PCIDevice
field, which IS initialized properly. So, eliminating the redundant
structure member and substituting the Controller's member fixes the bug.

Is this the intended behaviour or a bug ?

Suid bit is still set whereas with 2.4.x kernel it was reset.
while 2.6 does things via notify_change(). However, in 2.6 notify_change()
does not allow removal of the SUID bit because you are not owner of the
file :-). So, we have to convince inode_change_ok() to do it anyway.

[PATCH] make CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE mirror CONFIG_HUGETLBFS
At present you can set CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE and not CONFIG_HUGETLBFS, which
give the kernel low-level hugepage support, but no userspace API with which
to access it.
And with the recent hugetlbfs-accounting fix, the low-level code needs
functions which are in hugetlbfs, so CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=n,
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=y doesn't even link.
So we flip things around: CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is set if CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is
set and CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is unset if CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is unset. The
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE option hence disappears from the per-arch configuration
menus.
We found a problem in hugetlbfs file system quota when using huge page
via mmap. The mmap method in hugetlbfs_file_operation always takes
quota for every mmap even for pages that are already allocated on that
inode. This results in taxing the same hugepage multiple times and
causing mmap to fail on existing file when quota mistakenly runs out.

element of i_data[] (where we store dev_t value for small device numbers) and
keeping the value in the second element.
* nfsd - 32; it can be driven to 64, but we'll get several issues with

* old_valid_dev()/new_valid_dev() added where needed (stat variants,
mostly - we fail with -EOVERFLOW if values do not fit).
