I've found the problem. It appears to be in lockdep. struct lock_class has =
a=20
const char *name field which points to a statically allocated string that=20
comes from the code which uses the lock. If that code/string is in a module=
=20
and gets unloaded, the pointer in |name| is no longer valid. Next time this=
=20
field is dereferenced (count_matching_names, in this case), we crash.
The following patch fixes the issue but there's probably a better way.

| Dave Hansen | [PATCH 00/27] Read-only bind mounts (-mm resend)
This is against 2.6.24-rc1 + recent git.
I've integrated all of the fixes from mm, and included cleanups
in a different order. This also includes some extra fput-time
checking to ensure that we have balanced mount writer counts.
These replace the patches in -mm mostly because the new fixes
require some cleanups that are functionally independent from
the r/o bind mount code itself. These fixes precent the rest
of the set and require some by hand merging.

| Dave Hansen | [PATCH 27/27] keep track of mnt_writer state of struct file
There have been a few oopses caused by 'struct file's with
NULL f_vfsmnts. There was also a set of potentially missed
mnt_want_write()s from dentry_open() calls.
This patch provides a very simple debugging framework to
catch these kinds of bugs. It will WARN_ON() them, but
should stop us from having any oopses or mnt_writer
count imbalances.
I'm quite convinced that this is a good thing because it
found bugs in the stuff I was working on as soon as I
wrote it.

With the r/o bind mount patches, we can have as many
spinlocks nested as there are CPUs on the system.
Lockdep freaks out after 8.
So, create a new lockdep class of locks for the
mnt_writer spinlocks, and initialize each of the
cpu locks to be in a different class.
It should shut up warnings like this, while still
allowing some of the lockdep goodness to remain:

If we depend on the inodes for writeability, we will not catch the r/o mounts
when implemented.
This patches uses __mnt_want_write(). It does not guarantee that the mount
will stay writeable after the check. But, this is OK for one of the checks
because it is just for a printk().
The other two are probably unnecessary and duplicate existing checks in the
VFS. This won't make them better checks than before, but it will make them
detect r/o mounts.

This is the real meat of the entire series. It actually implements the
tracking of the number of writers to a mount. However, it causes scalability
problems because there can be hundreds of cpus doing open()/close() on files
on the same mnt at the same time. Even an atomic_t in the mnt has massive
scalaing problems because the cacheline gets so terribly contended.
This uses a statically-allocated percpu variable. All operations are local to

Originally from: Herbert Poetzl <herbert@13thfloor.at>
This is the core of the read-only bind mount patch set.
Note that this does _not_ add a "ro" option directly to the bind mount
operation. If you require such a mount, you must first do the bind, then
follow it up with a 'mount -o remount,ro' operation.

This takes care of all of the direct callers of vfs_mknod().
Since a few of these cases also handle normal file creation
as well, this also covers some calls to vfs_create().
So that we don't have to make three mnt_want/drop_write()
calls inside of the switch statement, we move some of its
logic outside of the switch and into a helper function
suggested by Christoph.
This also encapsulates a fix for mknod(S_IFREG) that Miklos

This is the first really tricky patch in the series. It

We used to do this in may_open(), but Miklos pointed out

use mnt_want/drop_write() instead.
We need to pass the filp one layer deeper in XFS, but somebody _just_ pulled

adding it back.

This patch moves the sys_open flags to namei flags

This patch adds two function mnt_want_write() and mnt_drop_write(). These are

filesystem.
Before these can become useful, we must first cover each place in the VFS
where writes are performed with a want/drop pair. When that is complete, we
can actually introduce code that will safely check the counts before allowing
r/w<->r/o transitions to occur.

I'll go split the n_tty_ioctl stuff up and sort this cleanly for the
serial ppp and other users as well. Will send a patch tomorrow that
makes ldisc catching of TCGET/SET calls unneccessary.

Thanks.
Please also do something with the x86/termios.h patch I sent you as
well, it will prevent these kind of boo-boos in the future.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Line disciplines have no business touching termios ioctls. Especially
wrongly.
Nothing anywhere in the kernel but the core ioctl code should be
processing TCGET/TCSET calls.
Just delete them. It will return -ENOIOCTLCMD and the core tty layer will
process them.

| Jan Kara | Differences in bitops argument types
Hello,
I've just found out that operations like constant_test_bit() take pointer
of different types on different architectures. In particular, x86_64,
blackfin and frv take void * while i386, s390 and m68k take unsigned long
*. Is this intended difference? Wouldn't using void * everywhere be more
appropriate? Thanks for answer in advance.

Hi
I tried to run WRAP board (exact model PC Engines WRAP.2C) with kernels
2.6.23 and 2.6.24.
But seems driver is not functional with some old CF cards, and seems have
some issues even with new.
As soon as i never had running system here, i have only grub and kernel
there, so not much things i can do. If someone can give me idea how to debug
i will do that.
Old card, from board BIOS

| Bruno | 2.6.23: IPv6 router advertisments missed by kernel
I'm seeing unexpected behavior on my laptop since I updated kernel to 2.6.23.1
from 2.6.22.1.
My setup:
Cisco Router <--- [2 vlans] -----> Laptop
On the link two VLANs are active, native vlan is not used.
Laptop nic is:

10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet
On laptop I have eth0.500 and eth0.658 as active interfaces (eth0 is just up -
no address manually assigned) with IPv4 address assigned. IPv6 is only
enabled on the router ...

| Olaf Dietsche | Re: [PATCH] 2.6.23: Filesystem capabilities 0.17
It's just another version, works without xattr and, most important:
Fixing bprm_secure_exec() is sufficient. SECURE_HACK is just a
leftover, when there was no AT_SECURE and accordingly libc (< 2.3.6)
ignored bprm_secure_exec().

| Jeff Dike | [PATCH 2/4] UML - Fix kernel vs libc symbols clash
commit 2a772652c3971745228a2e40e6575ae594c88365
Author: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>
Date: Tue Oct 16 01:26:45 2007 -0700
uml: fix an IPV6 libc vs kernel symbol clash
On some systems, with IPV6 configured, there is a clash between the kernel's
in6addr_any and the one in libc.
This is handled in the usual (gross) way of defining the kernel symbol out of
the way on the gcc command line.
