d3717bdf8f [PATCH] low performance of lib/sort.c
It is a non-standard heap-sort algorithm implementation because the index
of child node is wrong .  The sort function still outputs right result, but
the performance is O( n * ( log(n) + 1 ) ) , about 10% ~ 20% worse than
standard algorithm.

ffc5089196 [PATCH] Create kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()
Some uses of kallsyms_lookup() do not need to find out the name of a symbol
and its module's name it belongs.  This is specially true in arch specific
code, which needs to unwind the stack to show the back trace during oops
(mips is an example).  In this specific case, we just need to retreive the
function's size and the offset of the active intruction inside it.

Adds a new entry "kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()" This new entry does
exactly the same as kallsyms_lookup() but does not require any buffers to
store any names.

It returns 0 if it fails otherwise 1.

afefdbb28a [PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbers
These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when
communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system.  They are required
because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS
for example.  The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace
automatically where the arch supports it.

Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode
number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and
failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and
so overlaps occur.

This patch:

Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit
inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace.

The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where
available and where possible.  If it is not possible to represent the inode
number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then
error EOVERFLOW will be issued.

Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode
number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a
directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented.

Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit
system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that
there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to.

Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a
32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the
same reasons.

It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc
uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions
exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter
unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

6e35aabee1 RDMA/cma: Fix device removal race
The race is as follows:

A process : cma_process_remove() calls cma_remove_id_dev(),
	    which sets id state to CMA_DEVICE_REMOVAL and
	    calls wait_event(dev_remove).

B process : cma_req_handler() had incremented dev_remove,
	    and calls cma_acquire_ib_dev() and on failure
	    calls cma_release_remove(), which does a
	    wake_up of cma_process_remove(). Then
	    cma_req_handler() calls rdma_destroy_id();

A Process : cma_remove_id_dev() gets woken and checks the
	    state of id, and since it is still (wrongly)
	    CMA_DEVICE_REMOVAL, it calls notify_user(id)
	    and if that fails, the caller - cma_process_remove()
	    calls rdma_destroy_id(id). Two processes can
	    call rdma_destroy_id(), resulting in one
	    de-referencing kfreed id_priv.

Fix is for process B to set CMA_DESTROYING in cma_req_handler()
so that process A will return instead of doing a rdma_destroy_id().

then the open method should not automatically allow
the setting of allow_close to CLOSE_STATE_ALLOW.

The setting of allow_close nullifies the use of

in the default state, the watchdog will shut-down
even if the magic close has not been issued.

3f2e05e90e [PATCH] BLOCK: Revert patch to hack around undeclared sigset_t in linux/compat.h
Revert Andrew Morton's patch to temporarily hack around the lack of a
declaration of sigset_t in linux/compat.h to make the block-disablement
patches build on IA64.  This got accidentally pushed to Linus and should
be fixed in a different manner.

Also make linux/compat.h #include asm/signal.h to gain a definition of
sigset_t so that it can externally declare sigset_from_compat().

This has been compile-tested for i386, x86_64, ia64, mips, mips64, frv, ppc and
ppc64 and run-tested on frv.

9ec52099e4 [PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid
There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled.  The
ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them.  It kills a task, usually init, using a
cached pid (cad_pid).

This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around
problem.  The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be
modified through systctl with

	/proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid

[ I haven't found any distro using it ? ]

It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used
where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

1a657f78dc [PATCH] introduce get_task_pid() to fix unsafe get_pid()
proc_pid_make_inode:

	ei->pid = get_pid(task_pid(task));

I think this is not safe.  get_pid() can be preempted after checking "pid
!= NULL".  Then the task exits, does detach_pid(), and RCU frees the pid.
