[PATCH] Fix off-by-one bug in mbind() syscall implementation
When the mbind() syscall implementation processes the node mask provided by the user, the last node is accidentally masked out. This is present since the dawn of time (aka Before Git), I guess nobody realized that because libnuma as the most prominent user of mbind() uses large masks (sizeof(long)) and nobody cared... 26 Jul 2010 06:12

[PATCH] timer_list: remove alignment padding on 64 bit when CONFIG_TIMER_STATS
Re-order structure timer_list to remove 8 bytes of alignment padding on 64 bit builds when CONFIG_TIMER_STATS is selected. timer_list is widely used across the kernel so many structures will benefit and shrink in size. For example, with my config on x86_64 per_cpu_dm_data shrinks from 136 to 128 bytes an... 26 Jul 2010 05:08

[PATCH] USB: gadget: file_storage: serial parameter even if not test mode
Moved the serial parameter handling code out of "#ifdef CONFIG_USB_FILE_STORAGE_TEST". This fixes the bug where serial was not set if CONFIG_USB_FILE_STORAGE_TEST was not defined. It also makes the serial module parameter work without this option. This modifies Yann Cantin's commit "USB: Add a serial number p... 26 Jul 2010 05:08

[PATCH] drm: nouveau: set TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE before schedule_timeout()
set_current_state() is called only once before the first iteration. After return from schedule_timeout() current state is TASK_RUNNING. If we are going to wait again, set_current_state() must be called. Signed-off-by: Kulikov Vasiliy <segooon(a)gmail.com> --- drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_fence.c | 3 ++- 1... 26 Jul 2010 05:08

[PATCH] usb: imx21-hcd: set task state with schedule_timeout_uninterruptible()

[PATCH] mm: Check NULL pointer Dereference in mm/filemap.c
mapping->a_ops->direct_IO() is not checked, if it's a NULL pointer, that will casue an oops. pagecache_write_begin/end is exported to other functions, so they need to check null pointer before use them.
