Yanko's GA-MA78GM-S2H (BIOS F11) reports the following resource in a PCI
host bridge _CRS:
[07] 32-Bit DWORD Address Space Resource
Min Relocatability : MinFixed
Max Relocatability : MaxFixed
Address Minimum : CFF00000 (_MIN)
Address Maximum : FEBFFFFF (_MAX)
Address Length : 3EE10000 (_LEN)
This is invalid per spec (ACPI 4.0, 6.4.3.5) because it's a fixed size,
fixed location descriptor, but _LEN != _MAX - _MIN + 1.
Based on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15480#c15, I think
Windows handles this by truncating the window so it fits between _MIN and
_MAX. I also verified this by modifying the SeaBIOS DSDT and booting
Windows 2008 R2 with qemu.
This patch makes Linux truncate the window, too, which fixes:

and if we receive fragmented packets then the first fragment will be

In order to use disks larger than 2TiB on Windows XP, it is necessary to
use 4096-byte logical sectors in an MBR.
Although the kernel storage and functions called from msdos.c used
"sector_t" internally, msdos.c still used u32 variables, which results in
the ability to handle XP-compatible large disks.
This patch changes the internal variables to "sector_t".
Daniel said: "In the near future, WD will be releasing products that need

In the extended CSD register the CARD_TYPE is an 8-bit value of which the
upper 6 bits were reserved in JEDEC specifications prior to version 4.4.
In version 4.4 two of the reserved bits were designated for identifying
support for the newly added High-Speed Dual Data Rate. Unfortunately the
mmc_read_ext_csd() function required that the reserved bits be zero
instead of ignoring them as it should.
This patch makes mmc_read_ext_csd() ignore the CARD_TYPE bits that are
reserved or not yet supported. It also stops the function jumping to the
end as though an error occurred, when it is only warns that the CARD_TYPE
bits (that it does interpret) are invalid.

The reiserfs journal behaves inconsistently when determining whether to
allow a mount of a read-only device.
This is due to the use of the continue_replay variable to short circuit
the journal scanning. If it's set, it's assumed that there are
transactions to replay, but there may not be. If it's unset, it's assumed
that there aren't any, and that may not be the case either.
I've observed two failure cases:
1) Where a clean file system on a read-only device refuses to mount
2) Where a clean file system on a read-only device passes the
optimization and then tries writing the journal header to update
the latest mount id.
The former is easily observable by using a freshly created file system on
a read-only loopback device.
This patch moves the check into journal_read_transaction, where it can
bail out before it's about to replay a transaction. That way it can go
through and skip transactions where appropriate, yet still refuse to mount
a file system with outstanding transactions.

Commit 57fe60df ("reiserfs: add atomic addition of selinux attributes
during inode creation") contains a bug that will cause it to oops when
mounting a file system that didn't previously contain extended attributes
on a system using security.* xattrs.
The issue is that while creating the privroot during mount
reiserfs_security_init calls reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks which
dereferences the xattr root. The xattr root doesn't exist, so we get an
oops.

In 2.6.34-rc1, removing vhost_net module causes an oops in sync_mm_rss
(called from do_exit) when workqueue is destroyed. This does not happen
on net-next, or with vhost on top of to 2.6.33.
The issue seems to be introduced by
34e55232e5 ("mm: avoid false sharing of
mm_counter) which added sync_mm_rss() that is passed task->mm, and
dereferences it without checking. If task is a kernel thread, mm might be
NULL. I think this might also happen e.g. with aio.
This patch fixes the oops by calling sync_mm_rss when task->mm is set to
NULL. I also added BUG_ON to detect any other cases where counters get
incremented while mm is NULL.
The oops I observed looks like this:

Fix an 'oops' when a tmpfs mount point is mounted with the mpol=default
mempolicy.
Upon remounting a tmpfs mount point with 'mpol=default' option, the mount
code crashed with a null pointer dereference. The initial problem report
was on 2.6.27, but the problem exists in mainline 2.6.34-rc as well. On
examining the code, we see that mpol_new returns NULL if default mempolicy
was requested. This 'NULL' mempolicy is accessed to store the node mask
resulting in oops.
The following patch fixes it.

Use IS_ERR() instead of comparing to NULL.

ksm.c's write_protect_page implements a lockless means of verifying a page
does not have any users of the page which are not accounted for via other
kernel tracking means. It does this by removing the writable pte with TLB
flushes, checking the page_count against the total known users, and then
using set_pte_at_notify to make it a read-only entry.
An unneeded mmu_notifier callout is made in the case where the known users
does not match the page_count. In that event, we are inserting the
identical pte and there is no need for the set_pte_at_notify, but rather
the simpler set_pte_at suffices.

This patch renames PCI/PCI-DMA-mapping.txt to DMA-API-HOWTO.txt.
The commit 51e7364ef2 "Documentation: rename
PCI-DMA-mapping.txt to DMA-API-HOWTO.txt" was supposed to do this but it
didn't.

include/linux/kfifo.h first defines and then undefines __kfifo_initializer
which is used by INIT_KFIFO (which is also a macro, so building a module
which uses INIT_KFIFO will fail).
