Merge branch 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile

Pull arch/tile bug fixes from Chris Metcalf: "This includes Paul Gortmaker's change to fix the disintegration issues on tile, a fix to unbreak the tilepro ethernet driver, and a backlog of bugfix-only changes from internal Tilera development over the last few months. They have all been to LKML and on linux-next for the last few days. The EDAC change to MAINTAINERS is an oddity but discussion on the linux-edac list suggested I ask you to pull that change through my tree since they don't have a tree to pull edac changes from at the moment." * 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: (39 commits) drivers/net/ethernet/tile: fix netdev_alloc_skb() bombing MAINTAINERS: update EDAC information tilepro ethernet driver: fix a few minor issues tile-srom.c driver: minor code cleanup edac: say "TILEGx" not "TILEPro" for the tilegx edac driver arch/tile: avoid accidentally unmasking NMI-type interrupt accidentally arch/tile: remove bogus performance optimization arch/tile: return SIGBUS for addresses that are unaligned AND invalid arch/tile: fix finv_buffer_remote() for tilegx arch/tile: use atomic exchange in arch_write_unlock() arch/tile: stop mentioning the "kvm" subdirectory arch/tile: export the page_home() function. arch/tile: fix pointer cast in cacheflush.c arch/tile: fix single-stepping over swint1 instructions on tilegx arch/tile: implement panic_smp_self_stop() arch/tile: add "nop" after "nap" to help GX idle power draw arch/tile: use proper memparse() for "maxmem" options arch/tile: fix up locking in pgtable.c slightly arch/tile: don't leak kernel memory when we unload modules arch/tile: fix bug in delay_backoff() ...

Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)

Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton: "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to merge things. I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion." * emailed from Andrew Morton : (16 patches) memcg swap: use mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap fix backlight: add driver for DA9052/53 PMIC v1 C6X: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() MAINTAINERS: add entry for sparse checker MAINTAINERS: fix REMOTEPROC F: typo alpha: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open() scripts/coccinelle/api/simple_open.cocci: semantic patch for simple_open() libfs: add simple_open() hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing module drivers/rtc/rtc-88pm860x.c: fix rtc irq enable callback fs/xattr.c:setxattr(): improve handling of allocation failures fs/xattr.c:listxattr(): fall back to vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed fs/xattr.c: suppress page allocation failure warnings from sys_listxattr() sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig() proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAA

simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()

2012-04-05T22:25:50Z

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree. Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we can replace all the users of this function with simple_open(). This replacement was done with the following semantic patch: @ open @ identifier open_f != simple_open; identifier i, f; @@ -int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) -{ ( -if (i->i_private) -f->private_data = i->i_private; | -f->private_data = i->i_private; ) -return 0; -} @ has_open depends on open @ identifier fops; identifier open.open_f; @@ struct file_operations fops = { ... -.open = open_f, +.open = simple_open, ... }; [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Al Viro Cc: Julia Lawall Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

APM: fix deadlock in APM_IOC_SUSPEND ioctl

2012-04-03T01:42:36Z

I found the Xorg server on my ARM device stuck in the 'msleep()' loop in apm_ioctl. I suspect it had attempted suspend immediately after resuming and lost a race. During that msleep(10);, a new suspend cycle must have started and changed ->suspend_state to SUSPEND_PENDING, so it was never seen to be SUSPEND_DONE and the loop could never exited. It would have moved on to SUSPEND_ACKTO but never been able to reach SUSPEND_DONE. So change the loop to only run while SUSPEND_ACKED rather than until SUSPEND_DONE. This is much safer.

drm/i915: disable ppgtt on snb when dmar is enabled

2012-04-02T13:59:07Z

Totally unexpected that this regressed. Luckily it sounds like we just need to have dmar disable on the igfx, not the entire system. At least that's what a few days of testing between Tony Vroon and me indicates.
