This patch updates all the device attribute callbacks that weren't

of "assignment from incompatible pointer type").

The power cycle action is considered an optional chassis control in the IPMI
specification. However, it is definitely useful when the hardware supports
it. A power cycle is usually required in order to reset a firmware in a bad
state. This action is critical to allow remote management of servers.
The implementation adds power cycle as optional to the ipmi_poweroff module.
It can be modified dynamically through the proc entry mentioned above. During
a power down and enabled, the power cycle command is sent to the BMC firmware.
If it fails either due to non-support or some error, it will retry to send
the command as power off.

The Xtensa architecture is highly configurable and usually buried inside an

there is a chance that there is an Xtensa inside even though you don't know it
(sometimes as a small audio-engine or as a control CPU). Linux hasn't been
adopted widely with Xtensa yet, but with Linux growing in the embedded space,
I am sure it will become much more important.

[PATCH] Keys: Make request-key create an authorisation key
The attached patch makes the following changes:
(1) There's a new special key type called ".request_key_auth".
This is an authorisation key for when one process requests a key and
another process is started to construct it. This type of key cannot be
created by the user; nor can it be requested by kernel services.
Authorisation keys hold two references:
(a) Each refers to a key being constructed. When the key being
constructed is instantiated the authorisation key is revoked,
rendering it of no further use.
(b) The "authorising process". This is either:
(i) the process that called request_key(), or:
(ii) if the process that called request_key() itself had an
authorisation key in its session keyring, then the authorising
process referred to by that authorisation key will also be
referred to by the new authorisation key.
This means that the process that initiated a chain of key requests
will authorise the lot of them, and will, by default, wind up with
the keys obtained from them in its keyrings.
(2) request_key() creates an authorisation key which is then passed to
/sbin/request-key in as part of a new session keyring.
(3) When request_key() is searching for a key to hand back to the caller, if
it comes across an authorisation key in the session keyring of the
calling process, it will also search the keyrings of the process
specified therein and it will use the specified process's credentials
(fsuid, fsgid, groups) to do that rather than the calling process's
credentials.
This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to find keys belonging
to the authorising process.
(4) A key can be read, even if the process executing KEYCTL_READ doesn't have
direct read or search permission if that key is contained within the
keyrings of a process specified by an authorisation key found within the
calling process's session keyring, and is searchable using the
credentials of the authorising process.
This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to read keys belonging
to the authorising process.
(5) The magic KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING key IDs when passed to KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE or
KEYCTL_NEGATE will specify a keyring of the authorising process, rather
than the process doing the instantiation.
(6) One of the process keyrings can be nominated as the default to which
request_key() should attach new keys if not otherwise specified. This is
done with KEYCTL_SET_REQKEY_KEYRING and one of the KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_*
constants. The current setting can also be read using this call.
(7) request_key() is partially interruptible. If it is waiting for another
process to finish constructing a key, it can be interrupted. This permits
a request-key cycle to be broken without recourse to rebooting.

[PATCH] keys: Discard key spinlock and use RCU for key payload
The attached patch changes the key implementation in a number of ways:
(1) It removes the spinlock from the key structure.
(2) The key flags are now accessed using atomic bitops instead of
write-locking the key spinlock and using C bitwise operators.
The three instantiation flags are dealt with with the construction
semaphore held during the request_key/instantiate/negate sequence, thus
rendering the spinlock superfluous.
The key flags are also now bit numbers not bit masks.
(3) The key payload is now accessed using RCU. This permits the recursive
keyring search algorithm to be simplified greatly since no locks need be
taken other than the usual RCU preemption disablement. Searching now does
not require any locks or semaphores to be held; merely that the starting
keyring be pinned.
(4) The keyring payload now includes an RCU head so that it can be disposed
of by call_rcu(). This requires that the payload be copied on unlink to
prevent introducing races in copy-down vs search-up.
(5) The user key payload is now a structure with the data following it. It
includes an RCU head like the keyring payload and for the same reason. It
also contains a data length because the data length in the key may be
changed on another CPU whilst an RCU protected read is in progress on the
payload. This would then see the supposed RCU payload and the on-key data
length getting out of sync.
I'm tempted to drop the key's datalen entirely, except that it's used in
conjunction with quota management and so is a little tricky to get rid
of.
(6) Update the keys documentation.

[PATCH] Bug in error recovery in fs/buffer.c::__block_prepare_write()
fs/buffer.c::__block_prepare_write() has broken error recovery. It calls
the get_block() callback with "create = 1" and if that succeeds it
immediately clears buffer_new on the just allocated buffer (which has
buffer_new set).
The bug is that if an error occurs and get_block() returns != 0, we break
from this loop and go into recovery code. This code has this comment:
/* Error case: */
/*
* Zero out any newly allocated blocks to avoid exposing stale
* data. If BH_New is set, we know that the block was newly
* allocated in the above loop.
*/
So the intent is obviously good in that it wants to clear just allocated
and hence not zeroed buffers. However the code recognises allocated
buffers by checking for buffer_new being set.
Unfortunately __block_prepare_write() as discussed above already cleared
buffer_new on all allocated buffers thus no buffers will be cleared during
error recovery and old data will be leaked.
The simplest way I can see to fix this is to make the current recovery code
work by _not_ clearing buffer_new after calling get_block() in
__block_prepare_write().
We cannot safely allow buffer_new buffers to "leak out" of
__block_prepare_write(), thus we simply do a quick loop over the buffers
clearing buffer_new on each of them if it is set just before returning
"success" from __block_prepare_write().

[PATCH] use drivers/Kconfig for sparc32

switches arch/sparc/Kconfig to use drivers/Kconfig so those stop.

[PATCH] Remove f_error field from struct file
The following patch removes the f_error field and all checks of f_error.
Trond said:
f_error was introduced for NFS, and made sense when we were guaranteed
always to have a file pointer around when write errors occurred. Since
then, we have (for various reasons) had to introduce the nfs_open_context in
order to track the file read/write state, and it made sense to move our
f_error tracking there too.

[PATCH] PCDP: handle tables that don't supply baud rate
The HCDP specs (i.e., PCDP revision < 3) allow zero as a default value for
baud rate and data bits. So if firmware doesn't supply them, let
early_serial_console_init() probe for them rather than telling it the baud
rate is zero.
Also, update the URL for the PCDP spec.

[PATCH] block: add unlocked_ioctl support for block devices
This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to
unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems. All
functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that
way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl
functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves.
As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as
well, which looks like a bug. I have checked that every user of
disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so
it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().

[PATCH] yenta TI: turn off interrupts during card power-on #2
- make boot-up card recognition more reliable (ie. redo interrogation
always if there is no valid 'card inserted' state) (and yes, i saw it
happening on an o2micro controller that both CB_CBARD and CB_16BITCARD
bits were set at the same time)
- also redo interrogation before probing the ISA interrupts. it's safer
to do the probing with the socket in a clean state.
- make card insert detect more reliable. yenta_get_status() now returns
SS_PENDING as long as the card is not completley inserted and one of the
voltage bits is set. also !CB_CBARD doesn't mean CB_16BITCARD. there is
CB_NOTACARD as well, so make an explicit check for CB_16BITCARD.
- for TI bridges: disable IRQs during power-on. in all-serial and tied
interrupt mode the interrupts are always disabled for single-slot
controllers. for two-slot contollers the disabling is only done when the
other slot is empty. to force disabling there is a new module parameter
now: pwr_irqs_off=Y (which is a regression for working setups. that's
why it's an option, only use when required)
- modparm to disable ISA interrupt probing (isa_probe, defaults to on)
- remove unneeded code/cleanups (ie. merge yenta_events() into
yenta_interrupts())
